Oregon's list of baseball crip
ples is rapidly approaching the
vaunted number of maimed and
wounded claimed by the Portland
Beavers. Thee shutout twin bill
with Washington State accounted
for injuries to three Webfoot main
stays, one of whom will be out for
the season.
As competition for Portland's
straing of ailing ball players, the
Webfoots offer the following list:
John Thomas, first string catch
er—broken right thumb.
Andy Hurney, regular righ field
er—pulled leg muscle.
Ralph Amato, veteran left field
er—sprained ankle.
Thonjas will be out for the sea
son. Hurney and Amato may be in
today’s lineup, but both are def
initely handicapped.
The Beayers keep on winning in
the face of myriad mishaps and
the Ducks are determined to do
the same.
* * *
It was a foul tip off the bat of
Nethercutt, Washington State’s
shortstop, that disabled Thomas.
Cece Inman shot a fast pitch
over the plate, Nethercutt ticked
the ball, and it hit Thomas on
the thumb. The flesh peeled
off to the knuckle bone and the
bone itself snapped out like a
trigger.
Thomas gritted his teeth and
grinned, but analysis by doctors
showed the bone to be cracked,
and John’s season is over.
That Oregon infield, considered
before and after pre-season games
the weak spot of Howard Hobson's
team, hasn’t done so badly in its
first three games. There’s no Joe
Gordon-Ray Koch combination
around second base and Bill Court
ney isn’t a Harry McCall on first,
but the lads are scrapping and
coming up with the tough ones.
Little Mark DeLaunay, who
wasn’t even certain of a regular
spot when the season began, has
been showing up more heralded
team mates and opponents with a
brand of baseball good enough for
any college club. DeLaunay has
been covering the territory to the
leftjOf the number two hassock like
a blanket, making sensational
stops right and left and making the
hard ones look easy. And, more to
his credit, Mark has been swatting
the pellett at opportune moments.
Johnny Lewis still fails to hit,
but his fielding has picked up and
in Thursday's double bill he han
dled eleven chances without error.
Courtney is small for a first base
man, but his battered mitt sweeps
the ozone clear of any throws with
in reasonable range and more than
once he has saved brother infield
ers from errors with phenomenal
stabs. Bud Goodin's fielding at
third has improved since pre-sea
son games, when he turned in nu
merous boots.
Chief McLean can handle the
mask, pad, and big mitt well
enough for any college league,
and the Chief makes a capable
replacement for the injured
Thomas. Thd big problem, re
sulting from Thomas’ broken di
git is filling McLean's post in
the outfield. Bob Millard can
clout the onion and pull in the
line drives and lazy lofters de
spite his apparently shaky field
ing Thursday, but the sophomore
southpaw is a pitcher of no mean
ability and he’ll be needed on the
mound.
To Bing Crosbie, who patrolled
left in place of Amato in pre
season tilts, will probably go to
the left field duty most of the
time. Crosbie can field, but his
hitting is doubtful. In practice
contests he showed amazing pro
fiency in working opposing
pitchers for walks. He might
make a capable leadoff man, al
though lie swings for the fence
like a Jimmy Foxx. If Crosbie
ever starts connecting regular
ly with his Ruthian style of

Sayles Shuts
Out Salem, 12-0
Duckling Baseball Squad
Perforins Well at Bat
And Afield
With both the offensive and de
fensive functioning in mid-season
style, Warren's freshman baseball
team turned in a 12-0 win yester
day behind the three hit shutout
pitching of Bill Sayles.
Sayles struck out 19 of the 31
batsmen u face him during the 9
inning contest. At no time during
the contest was he in imminent
danger of being scored upon, due
mainly to his own bearing down in
the pinches, and the perfect sup
port offered him afield by his
mates.
The frosh were away with a
bang when they more than batted
around in the first canto to score
10 runs. Two more markers were
added to this total in the seventh
inning.
Lee Irwin, peppery catcher, led
the Duckling’s attack with three
blows in four trips to the plate.
The hitting and field play of the
squad showed a very definite im
provement over that displayed
earlier in the season.
WSC Swamps
Beavers, 16-3
Oregon's basebal team was
shoved into third place yesterday
as Washington State slugged out
a 16-3 victory over the Orangemen
at Corvallis.
Bob Kinnamen, husky right
hander, set the Beavers down
nearly as fast as they appeared
at the plate, while his mates
pounded Dean Johnston, star Ore
gon State sophomore, from the
box.
It was the second win in three
starts for the traveling Cougar
squad, which winds up its southern
invasion with Oregon State again
this afternoon.
Washington, by virtue of two
wins over the Idaho Vandals, is
resting in first position, Washing
ton State is in the second niche
with three wins and one loss, fol
lowed by Oregon with two wins
and one loss.

Patterson, Smiling 440 Man,
Is Versatile Runner
By HUBARD KUOKKA
Howard Patterson, Oregon’s con
sistent quarter-miler, lias been
running since he was eight years
old. Those were the days of his
grammar school meets when Howie
ran the 50-yard dash for dear old
Beaumont in Portland.
Last year he won the 440 in ev
ery dual meet except the one with
Oregon State and the Northwest
conference meet in Seattle. He
confesses that the Northwest con
ference meet is his jinx, and that
another ache is Hayward track.
However, in the mile relay against
Oregon State on the Webfoot track
the other day Howie did his share
in setting the new record for the
four laps.
He hadn’t run the quarter be
fore he came to the University. In
high school his forte was broad
jumping, having leaped 21 feet 6
inches. He won first place in a
Portland city meet, and second in
a state meet. When he was a frosh,
he added the 100-yard and 220
yard dashes to his “repertoire,”
and in the Frosh-Rook meet he won
second place in each of these
sprints as well as in the broad
jump.
Now that Howie “Laughing
Boy” is a senior, his big ambition
is to get that coveted third stripe.
He has been majoring in business
administration, and when he gets
out of school he is going to hang
up his spikes and get to work. He
1 is 21 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall,
and weighs about 145 pounds.
Patterson has been president of
his frat, ATO, and also .vice-presi
dent of the Order of the “O." Down
in the training rooms they say he
would be a helluva good guy, but
they can't keep him away from
the Kappa house. He should be a
full member of that sorority by
now.
When the track team makes its
trips, Howie is always nervous, in
fact so low that he has to climb
a ladder to get down. He rarely
concedes himself a chance to win
in an approaching meet. But he
does, he almost always comes
through. The fellows say that a
little telegram always comes
along to give him that added
“poosh.”
In his first year of varsity com
petition, Howie began to run the
440. In his second meet, running
the 440 in 49:6, he beat the North
west champion quarter - miler,
Nichols of Washington State. That
was the day they started calling
him “Laughing Boy.’’
When Howie runs his teeth are
set and he appears to be in a
trance. Yell at him, throw sticks

Rook Relay Team
Downs Frosh, 4-1
Lack of Experience and
Injuries Hamper Frosh;
Schriver Hurt
The University freshman relay
team lost to the Oregon State
Rooks 4-1 in the annual relay
meet held yesterday on Bell field
in Corvallis. Duckling relay teams
have not defeated the Rooks in
this event for six years.
The Rook triumph was by no
means as impressive as the margin
of victory might indicate. The
frosh were decidedly hampered by
injuries and the strange cinder
track at the Corvallis institution.
Lack of experience was a decided
factor in the yearling defeat as
some of the men have been out for
track for only a short time.
Jim Schriver, ace Duckling mid
dle distance man, injured a leg
early in the meet and Jack Berry,
speedy sprinter, was unable to
compete in the medley relay be
cause of a sprained muscle.
Fred Nowland, frosh coach, ex
pressed satisfaction with the show
ing that the team made in the re
lays. “With a few weeks of good
hard workouts we will have a
fairly strong team for the dual
meet with the Rooks,” he said.
The mile ^elay was the only
event that the Ducklings won. A
team composed of Burkitt, Schriv
er, Wagstaff, and Barker took the
race easily, in approximately 3:43.
In the 440 relay', Hoyer, anchor
man for the baby Beavers, lived
up to his advance reputation by
beating out Currie on the finish.
Carlson, McCiay, and Berry per
formed nicely for the frosh in the
sprints, and Leslie and Hoyer were
the outstanding Beaver speedsters.
Results:
440-yard realy—Won by Rooks
(Leslie, Kole, Hillway, Hoyer).
Time, :45.
Mile relay—Won by frosh (Bur
kitt, Wagstaff, Barker, Schriver).
Time, about 3:43.

McFadden Chosen
To Pitch for Ducks;
McLean Behind Bat
Black lo Work for Idaho
In Fourth League Tilt
Of Wehfoot Season;
Game Starts at 3:30
Howard Hobson's University of
Oregon baseball team will face
northern division Opposition for a
fourth time this afternoon, when
the University of Idaho plays
here. Today’s tilt, first of a two
game series, is set for 3:30 on
either Howe field or the sawdust
freshman diamond. Weather con
ditions will determine the site.
Dependable Don McFadden, who
chucked the Webfoots to cham
pionships in 1934 and 1935, will
start for Oregon on the hill. Idaho
moundsman will probably be Bill
Black, a one-year letterman right
hander who held Washington hit
less for -seven innings Wednesday.
Black weakened and the Huskies
nosed out in the ninth, 3 to 2, but
accounts from Seattle indicate that
his performance was deserving of
victory.
McLean to Catch
The broken thumb suffered by
Catcher John Thomas in the sec
ond game of the Washington State
double bill has forced Coach Hob
son to make several changes in his
starting lineup. Chief McLean will
do the catching, and either Bing
Crosbie or Bob Millard will fill the
Chief's outfieled niche. Andy Hur
ney and Ralph Amato are suffer
ing from minor leg ailments, but it
is likely that they will be ready to
start. Amato may be shifted to
center and Crosbie or Millard sta
tioned in left.
The rest of the Webfoot lineup
will be the same as against Wash
ington State. The infield, still in
tact, will consist of Bill Courtney
at first; Mark DeLaunay, second;
Johnny Lewis, short, and Bud
Goodin, third.

Honorary Admits
Three New Men
Frank Levings, senior, and
Charles Dyer and Bert Meyers,
both sophomores, have recently
qualified for Sigma Delta Psi, na
tion!! honorary in physical educa
tion, according to word received
here today from Russel Cutler, fac
ulty member in charge of the fra
ternity.
Figured on an average, the
marks made by Dyer to qualify
were the best of the three, al
though Meyers was out in front in
the swimming event by a consid
erable distance. Myers' swim mark
for the 100 yards was 1:09. He
had an unofficial swimming time
of 1:02.4, which is a new Sigma
Delta Psi record.
In order to be eligible for the
fraternity, a man must attain a
better than average degree of ex
cellence in a varied number of
sports and events.
