The Highball
♦ BY DOC
T^OW that's the way to come !
~ hack. The Doc' wanted some ^
information, and he got it! It is
hoped that those who ventured to i
feel somewhat the same way as
Doc' at the track meet Saturday
read the team's explanation in the
open letter published in this col
umn yesterday. It was lucid, to the
point, and what’s more, showed
something which should run as
high among the students as it I
evidently does among the track 1
team, SPIRIT.
No one for the minute ques
tinned Col. Bill Hayward's deci
sions as to what was best at the
meet. There are mighty few track
coaches in the nation as clever as
Bill in doping out a meet. How
ever, in many parts of the stands
last Saturday Oregon boosters,
when they saw their team getting
the worst of it, exclaimed, “Why
didn’t they put Scharpf in the half
mile?” “Why didn't they use
Lloyd in the hurdles. They said
last year he was pretty good in the
hurdles.” The students wanted
Oregon to win that meet, almost
as much as Hayward and his team
wanted to win.
No one expected the unknown
Killien to pass Oregon’s Shoeniake
in the 230. If they ever meet again,
our money’s still on Shoeniake by
a comfortable margin, and on Bill
Hayward for picking the best men.
* «s *
JF it were possible to pick one
man on the Webfoot ball club,
who is most valuable to his teanr,
the selection would probably fall
to Don McFadden, followed closely
by Andy Hurney.
Despite the fact that spotty sup
port and some good stick-work by
Washington and Idaho batters cost
him two games, Don still leads the
pack of regular hitters on the Ore
gon club with a .500 average. He
is a dependable outfielder as well
as a fine pitcher, and has easily
the coolest head in the club. He
doesn't get flustered anywhere on
the diamond, hasn’t during his en
tire service on the Webfoot team,
at any rate. He can be counted on
in the pinches. Don might not be
able to make the big leagues as
a pitcher, yet, because the profes
sional batters would just eat up
his curves. Don’s fast one isn’t fast
enough yet, for big time. But, he
has as good a chance as any of
the 1036 Duck squad of going
higher as a fielder, if he cared to
work for it.
“Handy Andy” comes next in
line on the squad as far as popular
feelings in the stands count. His
homers and line smashes when
needed have undoubtedly been a
leading factor in keeping the
Webfoots right up there in the
conference race.
JF Oregon can win two from
Washington State and split
with Washington on their northern
jaunt they’ll be in a fair way to
taking their third consecutive
pennant. WSC should have a
tougher time with Washington
than the Ducks will have with the
Beavers on the way home.

from Omega hail 11-8 in a five
inning game last night, and Sigma
hall won from Alpha hall 10-4.
The Gamma-Omega game,

fifth frame he singled to Kato in
left field, but the ball slipped
through Kato’s legs and Marty
chased the boys_ in for the four
tallies.
Forden and Bell of Omega each
made two homers in the game.
Emar Williams pitched for the
winners.
Don Casciato, tossing for Omega,
struck out 12 men in the five in
nings. His game was lost by errors.
In.the Alpha-Sigma game, Win

Frosh Trackmen
To Meet Rooks
Ducklings Enter AAU Meet;
Many Injuries Hamper
Practice
The frosh track season is rapid
ly approaching' its climax. Next
Friday the first year men will com
pete in the AAU meet on Hayward
field, and a week later they will be
hosts to their great rivals, the
Oregon State Rooks, in the annual
dual meet.
Injuries to two of the best men
have weakened the team consider
ably. Jim Schriver, sprints and
440-yard man, has again pulled a
muscle in practice, and Jack Berry,
Coach Nowland's versatile -sprint
er and jumper is still nursing a
similar injury. Although there is
a possibility that Berry will com
pete next Friday, Schriver with
out a doubt will lay off during the
weekend.
Encouraging is the report that
Ben Marty, who has been resting
an injured' leg for over a week
jumped around the six foot mark
in his first workout.
Sprinters Stan Carlson, Bruce
Currie, and Floyd Vaughn have
been working with Eddie Burkitt
and Jack Wagstaff in the quarter
mile in preparation for the Rook
meet. The field in the sprints is
very weak this year.
Loyal Cody and Don Smith are
diligently practicing the half mile
and the male is well taken care of
by Don Barker and Crawford Lyle.
Pat Foley, javelin thrower, is nurs
ing a sore arm. It is uncertain
whether or not'he will compete in
Friday's AAU meet.

University Man
Fights Grudge
Battle Friday
Elton Owen, 165-pound wrest
ling and boxing champion of the
University, is all set to meet Joe
Bradshaw, Eugene boxing coach,
in a real grudge battle which has
been brewing for two years. The
battle will be five rounds, and held
at the Eugene armory Friday night
as the feature of an amateur card,
for the benefit of the National
Guard mess fund.
The Owen-Bradshaw feud start
ed two years ago and has been
brewing ever since. Six weeks ago
Owen brought the matter to a
head by issuing an open challenge
to Bradshaw to battle it out before
the public or in the gym. Brad
shaw forced Owen to meet an im
ported amateur boxer, declaring
he would meet him if Owen de
feated this man. Owen surprised
everyone two weeks ago by knock
ing out the boxer, after dropping
him three times.
Bradshaw Is Experienced
Bradshaw has fought for the
Multnomah club team in Portland,
and is regarded as a clever, rugged
boxer. Owen, on the other hand', is
fighting his fourth bout in the
ring but has done considerable
boxing in the gym. His battle with
Alan Wilson, football player, in
the finals of the intramural boxing
championships two years ago, is
still remembered by those who wit
nessed it.
over the boys will have earned a
long rest. Many of the first year
athletes have been in training
since the cold days of January.

Captain Larry Crane, sometimes

When these tearn^ met in Eu

score promises to be much closer,

win.
A probable lineup for Oregon
would place John Economus as
number one; Jack Crawford, after
his brilliant game against Hock
