I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1936 Frosh Track Team Fights Rooks on Even Terms, Loses 63-59 Under-rated Duck ling; Surprise Experts Witli Fine Showing in Mee! On Hayward Field A fighting University of Oregor frosh track and field team went down to defeat, 59 to 63, before the powerful Oregon State Rooks in a dual meet yesterday on Hay ward field. The Rooks were strong favorites to win by a large margin, but the Ducklings came through to take seven of 14 first places. Although the frosh were losers in actual points, they gained a moral vic tory. Ineligibility kept the Frosh from entering the regular pole vaulter, thereby giving the Or ange Babes three places in that event. Brisk W ind Hinders Under the able handling of Fred Nowland, the Ducklings took place after place that the Rooks were doped to take. A brisk wind pre vented any fast times. Bob Leslie and Bill Hoyer of Oregon State had everything their own way in the 100-yard dash, taking first and second. Vaughn and Currie, Frosh sprint men, fin ished third in a dead heat. Hoyer beat his teammate, Leslie, to win the 220-yard event. Carlson of the Frosh running third. Marty Wins Twice Ben Marty of the Ducklings, had another field day at the jumping pits. The nimble footed Duckling copped a first in the high and broad jumps. Jack Berry , red haired Frosh entrant took second but pulled a muscle that kept him on the bench the rest of the day. Jim Schriver, brilliant Rook 440-yard man, won the quarter in :52.3 and later added' to his laur els by running anchor man for the winning yearling mile relay team. The midget Rook half-miler, Pi soro, pulled a surprise- by gallop ing around the oval twice to win in 2:04.7. The mile run was eas ily taken by Don Barker and Crawford Lyle, Frosh distance men. Lyle finished a stride behind the speed-burning Barker. Second in Hurdles The Frosh took second place in both the high and low hurdles. Weston, stocky hurdle man, was responsible for the unexpected points in the high and low sticks. Harry Adams heaved the spear a winning distance of 170 feet 9 inches. The best that Morrison, Rook javelin man, could do was 174 feet lk inches. Pat Foley, di minutive Frosh spear man, made a third best toss of 156 feet 3 inches. Blackman and Strohecker teamed up to take care of the dis cus and shot events. Strohecker claimed a first in the plate heav ing event and Blackman took a second. Blackman won a second in the shot put. Summary: 100-yard dash — Won by Les lie, Rooks; Hoyer, Rooks, second; (Please turn to page jour) Gamma Massacres Alpha Hall, 39-11 Gamma hall’s defending cham pions, defeated hy Omega in the inter-dormitory league Thursday night, wreaked their wrath on Alpha last night. The Gamma sluggers made a merry-go-round of the base paths and ran up a 39-to-ll score on the losers in five innings of softball comedy. Gamma scored 14 runs in the fourth inning and tallied with monotonous regularity in* every frame. Chuck Patterson twirled for the winners and didn't have to worry about how many hits he allowed. Patterson and Marty were the heavy stickers. Close was the mistreated Alpha moundsman. Omega stayed in the running with a 14-to-10 win over Zeta. Four home runs featured a fray which was close throughout. Masa Kato clouted for the circuit for the winners and Jerry Cameron. Cece Walden, and Pitcher Gene Truby hit for all the sacks for Zeta. Kidder pitched for Omega and semen out lu.

Howard Hob son plans to send the sophomore southpaw to the mound in Mon day's tilt here and again on Sat urday at Corvallis.

Mark DeLaunay and Eddie Vail are the only other Webfoots who will come to the end of the col legiate trail with Saturday’s game. Oregon State got off to a dismal start in the flag race, but Slats Gill’s crew has rallied recently and is eyeing the .50 mark. Dean Johnson, sophomore ace of the “daffiness boys,” will probably start two of the week's tussles. Team Batting .29 Heavy hitting on the recent road trip, on which the Webfoots won four of six starts, brought the team batting average to .269. The Ducks whacked out more than 65 blows on the jaunt around the northern end of the circuit. Andy Hurney is leading with a av erage and Bud Goodin is hitting .340.

Fourteen men—-four outfielders, five infielders, two catchers, and three pitchers have been chosen. These men would make a complete college squad. Oregon, Washing ton, and Washington State draw five places each on the mythical ball club and Idaho follows with two. No attempt was made to ap portion the players evenly between the teams. Many flood Southpaws Good pitchers, especially south paws, were handing around the various ball yards in profusion this season, and it was a difficult task to single out a trio for all-star honors. Oregon’s Bob Millard wins first place on the all-star with his five straight victories, and Jack Daly of Washington, another southpaw, is probably next in line. The third position goes to Bob Kin naman, Washington State's un defeated righthander. Mel Marlowe of Washington State pitched out standing ball, but necessity of hav ing at least one right-handed chucker on the crew crowds out the cocky Cougar portsider. Ken Fields of Washington State has a corner on the catching market, and the other backstop post goes to Oregon’s Chief Mc Lean. McLean can perform at any position on the diamond and would Youthful Frosh Enters Pup in 'Neivs9 Pet Parade Among the 600 kiddies who will proudly parade down Willamette street this morning will be Bill Robert, University freshman. “I'm not going to Mortar Board, so I've gotta have some repast for the day," Bill announced as he strolled into the Morning News office last night to register his puppy “I s'pose some will think it queer for me to enter my pup,” Bill re marked, "but I think I stand a swell chance of winning one of those Mickey Mice things in the winder there.” Bill described his entry as a two-months-old white collie pup. “Her name is ‘Duchess,’ and she is our new fraternity mascot,” he explained. Bill is 18 years old. hi. ni its a uuiuy man as well as a receiver. Outstanding infielders were few, but competition between better than-average ball players is close at every position in the inner circle. Kramer at First Bill Kramer of Idaho gets the call on a hair-line decision over Bill Courtney of Oregon, Corky Carlson of Washington State, and Earl Conkling of Oregon State, all of whom are valuable men. Kramer is a classy fielder around the initial sack, but Courtney, des pite lack of height, is a first rate man in the field. Carlson and Conkling are hard hitters as well as capable fielders. Bishop of Washington State crowds out Rich of Washington at second in another choice made with fingers crossed. Willie Hew son, Washington shortstop, has the edge on Wally Geraghty of Idaho and Norman Worthley of Oregon State. Oregon’s clubbing Bud Goodin has battled himself into a spot at third base, edging out Max Schoening of Washington State, who takes the utility infield post. Bill Katsilometes, Idaho's Greek center fielder, is the class of all the outfielders and many critics consider him the best all-around ball player in the circuit. Andy Hurney, the clouting Webfoot, takes the right field position, and left field goes to little Wendell Nc-wcombe of Washington, the lad who rattles the boards with two strikes on him. Ed Loverich, Wash ington’s basketeer center-fielder, gains the nod over Ed Goddard of the Cougars for the utility outfield berth. yr ■ w * * V w ~ t t ▼ ■ V W ^ W ^■'■r y May You Have a Pleasant and Prosperous Summer Our Specialty OPEN ’TILL ON SATURDAY EVENINGS Phone 7-10 821 13th St. Is Doing ’‘Last-Minute’’ Cleaning and Pressing Work THE BEST CLEANERS • Press While You Wait • 13% Off for Cash and Carry HOUSE MANAGERS — Summer vacation is the time to do that needed repairing on the old house.

Despite his recent serious illness, Bill Hayward may accompany his boys today. He will not indulge in his usual apparently aimless pac ing around the field of battle how ever, for weakness will necessitate that he give his directions from a car drawn up alongside the track. No Workouts at OSC No practice sessions have been held at the State college this week, due to heavy rainfall. Coach Swan indicated that several days lay-off might help the Beavers. “We can’t get any worse,” moaned the gloomy mentor. As this is the last chance for many of the Webfoot trackmen to win their letters, cutthroat com petition will probably be the bill of fare on the track and field today.
