NORTHWEST CHAMPS AGAIN?— Duck clivoteers are racing along the highroad toward their second consecutive Northwest pennant again this year. See story on this page and read why the Doc* picks 'em to take the title again this spring in the Highball column below. I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1936 Dan E. Clark, II .. Sports Editor Pat Frizzell ... Assistant Sports Editor Bruce Currie, G. T. Smith, Ed Robbins, Kenneth Kirtley, Robert Dean, Hubard Kuokka, Wendell Wyatt. Coed Reporters: Irma jean Randolph, Marionbeth Wolfden, Helen Ferguson. The Highball ♦ BY DOC” ♦ jREGON split their double-head er with Washington in baseball, but the Ducks couldn't have won that track meet if the relay team had established a world record running around the oval backward. The result was decided before the relay event was run off. Wash ington athletes started packing when the Purple and Gold swept the hurdles and a chap named Kil lien came out of a dark cloud to beat Shoemhke to the tape in the 220. It’s easier to look back on a meet and say if we’d done this and this we would have won, and so on. But, this correspondent can't help but wonder why Col. Bill didn’t enter “Squeek” Lloyd in the 120 high hurdles, in which on a basis of best times, he should have been able to take a first. Then with Capt. George Scharpf running in the 880 (from which event he was scratched after being doped to take a first) and even getting a second, the results of the meet would have hinged on the relay. A relay team of Shoemake, Scharpf, Patterson, and Lloyd should have been able to take the Washington quartet and have won the meet. Of course that’s only idle specula tion, but there were many who were heard to question the wis dom of keeping Lloyd and Scharpf out of the 120 high hurdles and 880, respectively. rjvAKING an easy one this time Doc’ picks the Oregon golf championship team to repeat against the field in the Northwest meet at Pullman Memorial day. Although students haven't been hearing so much about them, this year’s divot aggregation has been knocking its opponents over like tenpins in front of a steam roller. For the first time inhistory Ore gon golfers walloped the Husky twice in a row’ and if the Ducks can get over Oregon State May 23 and take the Northwest title it will be the first time a Webfoot golf team has won the title without a defeat. They will play and lick College of Puget Sound here next Saturday and if they can’t skin the Beaver plenty at Corvallis after taking 25>/2 out of a possible 27 points from the unfortunate Staters last Saturday the only thing that can be blamed will be the N. Y. State Boxing commis sion. “Lank” Anderson, present North west individual champ seems to be playing number three on the Duck squad, and if there are two men on that team who can keep ahead of him, even temporarily, they must be good. Oregon has the house in its favor in the Northwest gamble at Pull man, WSC, in spite of all the Pa louse hill press agents can say, hasn’t got so much this year and Washington and Oregon will fight it out for top honors. The matches xVill be played over a new course at Pullman, built last year. Ore gon licked the Huskies on their home course and the local team feels confident that they’ll pull his whiskers out on a neutral lay out; which will make the golf and swimming teams the only teams going through the season undefeat ed. Reports Indicate NYA To Be Kept Dean Ontliank Plans Trip East Soon for Meeting Of Directors Karl W. Onthank. dean of per sonnel and state administrator for NYA, will leave for Washington in the near future to attend a meet ing of all state NY'A directors May 19, 20, and 21. Although no announcement has been made as yet. it is reported that S"o.000,000 has heen allotted to the Youth Administration as compared with §50.000,000 last year. This means that, in all prob ability. educational aid for high school and college students will be continued. Dean Onthank was appointed to his post of state NYA director some months ago. He has since devoted half of his time to his per sonnel work here at the University and the remainder to NYA activi Ubs. Ducks Leave On Road Trip; 6 Tilts Slated Amato’s Injury Further Cripples Oregon Niue; McFadden Hits A crippled University of Oregon baseball team will leave today on a trip that will make or break Webfoot chances of taking a third consecutive northern division championship. A broken finger suffered by Ralph Amato, veteran centerfield er, in the final Washington game Saturday, has further handicapped Howard Hobson's team, already weakened by the loss of John Thomas, first string catcher, who has a broken thumb. Amato’s loss means that Hobson will probably use pitchers Millard and McFadden alternately in the outfield and also use Bing Crosbie in one of the garden positions. Andy Hurney is the only regular flychaser available. Hobson will announce his traveling squad this morning. Six Games Slated Six games will be played by the Ducks on the tour of northern ponds. They meet Washington State at Pullman Thursday, then on Friday and Saturday meet Idaho at Moscow. Next Monday and Tuesday the Webfoots finish their itinerary with a pair of tilts against Washington at Seattle. Oregon team batting was boosted to a still puny .227 by 13 hits gleaned by the team in trounc ing Washington Saturday, 11 to 6. Don McFadden has maced eight blows in 16 trips to the rubber for a .500 average, good enough to lead the pack. Millard Gets Third Win Bob Millard chalked up his third win of the conference season Sat urday, although the Huskies knocked him from the box with a barrage of bingles in the eighth. Cece Inman finished for the Web foots. The Oregon stickers, find ing their eyes for the first time this year, pounded Rudy Enquist and Lou Budnick, two of Tubby Graves’ ace pitchers, from the hill ock with an early attack that pro duced a 9-to-l lead by the end of the sixth inning. Millard was on his way to another shutout until the fifth, when the Huskies pushed over their first run. Five Oregon tallies in the home half of the fifth all but clinched the contest. Hurney and McFadden poled three hits apiece to lead Duck bat ters, while Rich hit twice for Washington. Bill Courtney slammed a fluke home run through third base and into left field and also connected for a triple. Oregon’s No. I Man! Sid Milligan, above, took medal ist honors in the match with CISC Saturday with a 71, two under par on the Country Club course.

McGaughey, Distance Runner Trains Strenuously T Up and coming Sam McGaughey set a new meet record of 9:44.6 in the first two-mile race he had ever run in his life. That was in the Washington State meet. Earlier in the season he ran the mile in less than 4:22. He is only a junior. With his re markable endurance and ability to change his pace, Sam should de velop into one of the best distance runners on the coast. His wiry legs never seem to lose their rhythmic spring, and on that last lap he can do what takes the heart out of many a runner—to run faster. He has run the hundred in 10.4. There is no diddling around for “McGuffy” during track season. He is about the most systematic in his training of any man on the squad. When bed time comes, Sammy goes to bed. and when it is time to get up he gets up. He charts his shuteye and sees to it that he gets plenty. McGaughey didn’t start running until he was a junior at Roseburg high school. In training for a box ing smoker he did some cross country work and received such a razzing from the school track star that Sam resolved to get even. He went out for track that spring and beat the pants off the other fellow. That year he placed second in the state high school meet. At tne same meet tne next year the “Umpqua Chief’ of the Rose burg Indians broke two records within an hour, records that had been on the books since 1913. His two marks that still stand were 4:29.8 in the mile and 2:01.2 in the half. Injuries hampered “Umpqua" in his freshman year at the Univer sity. Nevertheless, he placed sec ond in a 2:06 half. He limped all the way. Ever since high school days, Er nie Guggisberg, now of Oregon State, has been McGaughey’s big sorrow. It was always Sant who was sprayed by the cinders of Gug gisberg's spikes. Small wonder that he developed an obsession to beat “the Guggisberger.” And he finally did — in the Cunningham mile at the Hill Military meet in Portland this year. Although he placed second to Cunningham, the race was Sam’s big victory. McGaughey is 20 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighs 142 pounds. He is majoring in business administration. His ambition is to run a fast two mile and to take a crack at the Olympic 5000 me ters. In high school he was an honor student and the president of the student body. Even yet Roseburg is keeping a proud eye on its home town boy. In high school days Sam used to year a tattered old skull cap in his races. He wouldn’t run with out the hat, even though he had to hold it n hand when he came sprinting down the stretch. One of his saddest days was when he lost that decrepit old lid. He was riding atop a truck at the berry fields when the wind blew it off. Calamity! He yelled at the driver to stop, but though he looked and looked, he couldn’t find it. He was heartbroken. Perhaps that is why his first two years at the University were not very bright. To a casual acquaintance this spry young lumberjack appears to be very modest and quiet, but real ly he has plenty of life. George Scharpf says, “When you first meet him, he is reserved, but get to know him, and you’ll find him the funniest dang fellow you’ve ever seen.” And throw the bull, my land! A young lady on the campus said, “Sam has the best line of anybody 1 know. He talks all the time and never says anything.” In Roseburg he used to play a guitar or banjo and yodel cowboy ditties in a seven-piece hill-billy orchestra called the Roseburg Stranglers. The gang played at theaters, dances, over the radio, in fact wherever they could get people to listen to them. He claims that they collected SI.44 once bu that “there was a bum four-fiit piece in it.” Last summer he set chokers in a logging carr.p. but desiring to be come an old man, he decided it was i better to be a whistle punk.

[Varsity Net Yearn Loses To OSC_4-3 Frosh Turn iu Win Over Rooks by Same Score; Sets Are Fast Oregon and Oregon State divided the two tennis matches Saturday, Oregon State winning the varsity encounter and the Frosh beating the Rooks. The score was 4 to 3 in both cases. The outcome was in doubt until the final set both times. The Frosh first doubles, Murphy and Apple gate, won the third set of their match, while Chaney and Zimmer man, varsity first doubles, lost theirs. Ducks Take Singles The varsity swept three of the singles matches and appeared cer tain of winning at least one of the doubles, but Gallagher and Hock ley, Oregon State stars, were too good. The feature singles match was between Hockley, OSC, and Craw ford, Oregon. Although not given a chance for victory, Crawford pushed his opponent to three sets before being subdued by the score of 6-1,■ 6-8, and 6-1. In the second set he displayed his best tennis of the year forced Hockley into many errors when the latter attempted to rush the net. Eaton Presses Gallagher In the first singles, Gallagher, OSC, defeated Eaton, Oregon, 6-1 and 6-4. After he got over his stage fright in the first set, Eaton perssed Gallagher hard and forced the latter to play his best. Economus, Oregon, number three, had little difficulty in forc ing Ruzek, his opponent, into errors as he rushed through two sets, 6-2 and 6-0. Wilson, Oregon, kept his singles record clean by beating Dietriech, OSC, in the fourth singles game, 6-4 and 6-3. Crane, Oregon captain, deaefted Kemp, OSC, in the last singles match 6-4 and 6-3. In the first doubles Gallagher and Stromberg, OSC, downed Economus and Winslow 6-3, 1-6, and 75. Gallagher was the star of the match, playing a beautiful net game when necessary. In the other doubles Hockley and Cuthbert, OSC, defeated Zimmerman and Chaney, Oregon, 8-6, 3-6, and 6-3. The Oregon team had a set point in the first set, but Hockley was too good for them. Applegate, Vaughn, and Murphy won their singles points for the Frosh and Murphy and Applegate won the first doubles. Murphy put on a wonderful exhibition of grit and fight, playing almost continu ously from 2:30 until after 5. His lobs in the doubles match were the deciding factor with the help of Applegate’s service. students to Hear Business, Leaders Many northwest business lead ers will visit the campus, starting today, to address classes in busi ness administration and interview students from the University who have applied to them for jobs.

The powerful Washington team won 74 to 57. The Huskies grabbed off nine firsts and made a clean sweep of all three places in both the high and low hurdles. Two Records Toppled Two new records were put on the boards Saturday. “Squeak Lloyd, Duck ace, made a record tjroad jump of 24 feet 3% inches. The old record of 24 feet 3 inches was established by Dan Kelley in 1906. Bill Vandermay, Washington sophomore, set a new high jump mark of 6 feet 3% inches. The old record was held by Swisher of Washington last year. Biggest Upset The biggest upset of the meet came when Bud Shoemake was edged out at the tape in the 220 yard dash by Killien of Washing ton in the slow time of 22:6. The Husky sprinter finished with a strong drive that Shoemake failed to match. Shoemake had previous ly taken the 100-yard dash in 10.2. Jim Angle defeated Captain George Scharpf in the mile run in the fast time of 4:20.1. Scharpf, who has had to forsake his favorite half mile run this year for the mile, led most of the way. Morgan High Point Man Art Morgan, Washington sopho more hurdler, was high point man with 10 points gathered on firsts in both the high and low hurdles. Marvin Janak and Bud Shoe make, both of Oregon, and Killien of the Huskies all tied for second place with eight points each.
