! THE i Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Oregon’s ball club has brand new uniforms this season, but ap parently they aren’t quite com plete. Also necessary for any dia mond outfit in this land of copious aqua is a full set of hip boots and good rain coats to go around. Of course, it wouldn’t be entirely ainiss to suggest a fleet of canoes for the lads to navigate, the bases in, but perhaps such would be a bit awkward. Another day or two of the kind of rain that deluged Howe field and all the practice fields about two o’clocty yesterday afternoon, and someone will sug gest a fleet of submarines. * # * Frankly, it's flabbergasting. Last year both the non-conference and the conference openers were rain ed out. That much is expected. There's no use trying to get by without plenty of postponements. But yesterday marked the third straight washout of the same doubleheader in four days. And more washouts are apparently on the way for the rest of the week and the rest of the season. ylt might be wise to officially substitute water polo for baseball. Or possibly Mike Hoyman could call out his swimming team for a game or two. :i: * * yesterday’s scheduled twin bill was wiped off before the rain started, for that matter. Spec Keene, Willamette’s extremely cap aide and successful coach, is sick, and it was decided yesterday morn ing to postpone the conflict. Which saved the Bearcats a 70-mile trip for nothing. Oregon’s pre-season slate has been shifted around a bit. Oregon Normal will be rained out here this afternoon, unless something cata clysmic occurs. Then tomorrow there’s a game at Monmouth for Jupe Pluvius to pester. That’s the old sked, and it still goes. But the two double bills with Portland university have been shoved up a day. The Pilots are now booked I for a pair on Thursday and two: 9 more in the metropolis Friday. Which makes Saturday the rest day instead of Thursday, though they’ll ail be rest days if a halt isn’t called on the liquid refresh ment. Reason, incidentally, for moving up the Portland games is that the Oregon coaches must be in the big town for an alumni banquet Friday night, which thus means the death of two feathered friends at the ex pense of a single missle. This was to be one of the biggest weeks of the year in sports here. Eight ball games, five of 'em at home; three varsity tennis match es, all at home; a varsity golf match with Washington here; two *>frosh ball games, also here, and intramural softball, tennis, and | golf, every day—that was the line tip. But if it doesn’t stop pouring, the racquets, clubs, and bats will all be traded in for lumber and hammers and nails and the lads will start construction work on the ark. One thing the weather can't stop is football.

Oregon Baseball Nine to Play Normal Team Here Today Hayward Has Eight Veterans On Track Role Inclement Weather Has Effect on Workouts; Vaulter Varoff Heads Colonel’s Squads By JOHN PINK Continued rains, a soggy track and illness of Colonel Bill Hay waro', combined with the general un-spring like weather since the opening of the term have greatly hindered the pre-season training grind of the Webfoot varsity track squad. In spite of the weather, Hay ward has been making every ef fort to condition his men. Dis tance runners have been working out most regularly with almost daily endurance runs. Eight Veterans Back This year’s squad will be built around eight returning lettermen. Heading the list is George Varoff, holder of both the inuoor and out door world records in the pole vault. Varoff was a freshman last year, but received a letter this winter for his record breaking per formance in eastern indoor meets. He is considered the top vaulter of the country, and gave notice of his condition this spring when he cleared the bar at 14 feet 3 inches at the Hill relays two weeks ago. He has two years of varsity com petition left. Discus Tosser Ilcturns Webfoot stock rose last week with the arrival on the campus of Leonard Holland, letterman dis cus thrower, who is capable of a consistent 145 feet with the plate. Holland was fourth best man on the coast last year in his event, and his return greatly enhances; Webfoot chances in the weight di vision. Another sure point-getter in the weights is Bill Foskett, one-year veteran shot-putter. Foskett's heaves approach the fifty-foot mark, and if he hits his stride he should go over that mark this year. McGaughey Shows Form In the distance events Hayward has Captain Sam McGaughey, vet eran two-miler. This year Mc Gaughey will probably compete in the mile. In his only test this year in that event he placed fifth in a field of the country's best milers at the Hill relays. Ken Miller, senior and one-year letterman, is the returning stand by in the half mile. In the coast conference meet last year Miller placed fourth, and is looked upon as one of the best half milers in the northern division. Lloyd Heads Sprinters Frank “Squeek” Lloyd *Ts the only hope in the sprints. In addi tion to being one <?f the fastest men on the coast, Lloyd is a very capable broad jumper, placing second in the northern division meet last year. In a pinch he also can be counted on to turn in a creditable performance in the high jump. In the 440, the only veteran is : Gilbert Shultz, Shultz made a let- j ter in his sophomore year, but failed to do so last year. He is a senior. Koskello Iis Speak 3Ian Completing Hayward’s octet of veteran letter winners is Elmer Koskello, javelin thrower. The slim Astorian consistently threw the speak near the 190 foot mark last season with an ailing shoulder. Koskello is a junior and has an other year of competition left. In addition to this nucleus of eight, there are several other good prospects up from last year s freshman squad, and several men who did not compete last year. In the mile Crawford Lyle and John Davidson arc excellent pros pects. Both were members of Ore gon's cross country squad last fall. Harold Draper is another distance prospect. In the shorter events. Jim Schriver has been working out regularly. yjiiiy uiif t Oregon opens its season oi April 21 at Corvallis in the annua Orogon-Oregon State relays. Ore gon's only home meet will be o; May 15 with Oregon State. Dua meets away from home are schc doled with Washington and Wash mgton State. In addition to these the Webfoots will also enter th northern division championship at Seattle, and send several out standing performers to the coas conference meet at Los Angele and the X. C. A. A. championship at Berkeley. Star Webfoot Wetter Bill Zimmerman, experienced tennis candidate, is shown polishing his backhand drive in a recent practice. Bill will play doubles for Oregon this afternoon in the season's first match against Oregon Normal. * Oregon Netmen Open Against Normal Team J Coach Washke’s Tennis i Team Will Face First Test On Home Courts; May Play Indoors By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC Barring adverse weather condi tions, the opening of the 1937 var sity tennis season will be today, when Paul Washke’s netmen clash with Oregoh Normal at 2:45 on the University courts. In case current weather condi tions persist, Coach Washke cited the possibility of playing the j match in the basketball courts at the Igloo and the new physical education gyms. Tentative Lineup ricked The tentative iineup for this afternoon’s contest includes the four lettermen—John Economus, Larry Crane, Charles Eaton, and A1 Zimmerman—and one new comer, A1 Finke. These men will play in the five singles matches, and the combinations of Zimmer man anfl Finke, and Economus and Eaton will probably represent I Oregon in the doubles competi tion. The status of Oregon Normal is not known at present, and the match today will be a test for the teams of both institutions. Opening Match Today’s match is only the tip off for the varsity netmen, who have two other matches scheduled for the remainder of the week. On Thursday afternoon, the varsity squad will play host to the Wil lamette university team, and will conclude the week’s activities with another seven-point match against Reed on Saturday, April 10, at 2 o'clock. Both matches will be play j cd on the local courts, j In an endeavor to be with his Duck Divoteers Down Portland U Playing Coach Sid Milligan Leads Webfooters to Victory With Low 74 Oregon’s varsity golf team open ed its 1937 match play campaign Saturday by swamping a green University of Portland team by a score of 17 V4 to Vi. The Pilots’ only remnant of a score was earned by Hatala, who tied the first nine with Walt Cline, No. 1 position, for half a point. Play was over the soggy Peninsula club course in Portland. Low scorer for the Webfoot team was Sid Milligan, No. 2, who turned in a 74 for the 18-hole route. All six of the Oregon scores were in the seventies, while none of the Portland golfers were able to crack 80. The slated 18-hole doubles match, scheduled to follow the singles, was canceled. Oregon is billed to meet the Portland team, in a return match cn the Eugene country club course May 8. Scores follow, in order of team position: Cline, Oregon, 79, defeated Hat ala, Portland, 2 Vs-Vs; Milligan, Oregon, 74, defeated Tonsing, Portland, 3-0; Hamlcy, Oregon, 78, defeated Emerson, Portland, 3-0; Ramsey, Oregon, 77, defeated Slo cum, Portland, 3-0; Watson, Ore gon, 76, defeated Peterson, Port land, 3-0; Stockton, Oregon, 77, defeated Sweet, Portland, 3-0.

Pacific coast, and north west records during their four year victory streak which began in 1954. Fourteen of the 25 marks exist at present. The Webfoots hold re cords in six of the nine events in cluded in northern division confer ence competition. Oregon holds one national, six northwest, six coast, and two state records. Heed Sets Huekstrokc Records Jim Reea, backstroke star from 1934 to 1936, set the world mark when he churned the 1320 back stroke event, recognized in record books but not listed for competi tion, in 18 minutes 35 seconds in 1934. Reed also established a new national and coast mark in the 300-yard individual medley in 1936. when he turned in a 3:44.5 performance. His 1:42.9 time in the 150-yard backstroke still stands as a coast and northern division mark.

The 20 yard record, set at Oregon State, is 3:47.7 and the 25 yard mark, set at Seattle, is 3:48.1. The Oregon natators smashed seven marks in 1934. The fol lownig season the Ducks est ablished five more new ones. They added eight more in 1936 and five this past season.

Karl Maun, Ben Clubuugli, Gerald Olson Top Bankings Although the famed Oregon mist has put a damper on the frosh ten nis double elimination tournament, Coach Paul Washke was able t.> give a tentative rating for the am bitious ex-preppers out for team positions. Those listed as leading contend ers at present are Dick Hagopian. Karl Mann, Ben Clabaugh, Gerald Olson, Adolph Zimsky, James Moe, Les Werscnkul and Jack McCiung. A more definite lineup will be giv en later, when weather permits completion of the elimination tour ney. Frosh netmen will receive con siderable training in watching var sity competition this year, as Cpach Washke has listed them in the capacity of officials to call the points in all varsity matches to be played in Eugene. “I believe this will help them materially in gaining an under standing of college tournament competition," Mr. Washke said. Three matches have been defi nitely listed for the Duckling net men this year. Washke is nego tiating for more competition with Oregon prep teams. Definitely scheduled are two matches with the O.S.C. rooks on May 15 at Cor vallis, and May 22 at Eugene, and a match with Oregon Normal on May 13, at Monmouth. 150-yard backstroke (20-yard tank i 1:42.9, set by Jim Heed at Eugene, 1936. 300-yard individual medley (20 yard-tank) 3:44.5, set by Jim Heed, at Eugene, 1936.

Two games, one with Milwaukee and one with Grant were cancelled last week for the same reason. The Milwau kee game may be played, but it ies not probable. The Frosh are now pointing for the University High game on Wed nesday which will be their initial contest. Only the pitchers and catchers have had very much practice for this game because of , the heavy rains of the last week. Intramural Sports Rained Out Again Gamt' Willi Oregon Normal This Afternoon So No Activities on Deck Old Jupiter Pluvius, the scourge of spring athletic teams, yesterday caused the postponement of all softball games, tennis, and golf matches scheduled in the spring intramural program. Because of the baseball game here with the Oregon Normal school’s Wolves this afternoon, no softball games have been sche duled. The regular four games will be played Wednesday, however, weather permitting. No golf or tennis matches have been scheduled for this afternoon, either. As in softball, the regular slate will be in force tomorrow afternoon. W. D. SMITH SPEAKS Warren D.

If the sun blisters forth today, and if the practice field dries suf ficiently, Oregon's baseball nine at 3 o'clock will cross bats with the Wolves. Indications last night pointed to another postponement. Schedule Revised Continued assaults of rain caused Coach Hobson to slightly revise his pre-season schedule. The Willamette twin bill has been de layed indefinitely, but may be played at a later date. The teams are definitely slated to meet in Salem for another doubleheader. Portland university is slated to come to Eugene on Thursday after noon instead of Friday as pre viously announced, unless present arrangements arc changed. Ore gon also moves to Portland for a return engagement against the Pilots on Friday instead of Satur day. Move to Monmouth The Ducks are also slated to travel to Monmouth tomorrow for a contest against the Wolves. That will still make six games in» four days for Hobby’s crew provided today’s opening contest is given a break by the weather man.
