PINK Lemon-Aid By JOHN PINK You wouldn’t think that a coach with a world champion to perform for him would ever be gloomy. But if you would care to travel down to Hayward field sometime (by the way it is beginning to take shape, ready for its overcoat of green) and watch Colonel Bill Hayward put his men through their steps you would be rewarded by such a sight. Although in addition to the champion Varoff, he has Squeek Lolyd, an almost cinch first in either the short dashes or the broad jump; Bill Foskett and Dutch Hol land, probably the two finest weight men on the Slope; Captain Sam McGuaghey, who should do under or very close to 4:20 in the mile, which is usually good enough in the league the Ducks bat in; Elmer Koskello, who should throw the javelin over the 200 foot line if his early season form is any criterion; Ken Miller, who when in Falmason a real battle in the S80, he is not smiling. All these men are in a class by themselves and are not Hayward’s worry. The brow wrinkler is where to find some first class men to take seconds and thirds. For there is where the dual meets are won and lost in those three and one point inconsequentials. The aver age fan thinks when a star-stud ded team takes the field that that's all there is to it. But it takes a great deal more than five or six top-raters to win a track meet with 15 events on the program. So, the veteran mentor figures his team good for about 45 points in the coming Husky struggle on the basis of his first place men. Now if he had a group of pros pects that could be counted on to mop up a bunch of thirds, and maybe a few seconds, things might take on a different complexion. The varsity track squad of this spring is not overly populated. Even if you counted the man run ning the tractor, I don’t think the squad would total 25—and that’s giving you cards and spades, too. But if several likely appearing prospects deliver the mail later in the season I wouldn’t be surprised , to see the Ducks cop the confer ence crown. dim scnriver, sopno more quarter miler, Crawford Lyle, a tall slim mile-man of the Kalph Hill build, and Bol Fitchard, who looks good in the broad jump are several question marks that could turn into exclamation points very easily and solve a few pro blems. But as I said earlier, Hayward has only a few tried competitors and until a few more aces appear from out of the suff his brow will resemble the field that carries his name—very furrowed. Last: night a rumor pierced the density of my skull which I hasten to pass on for ovcr-thc-brcakfast coffee discussion. That is a move ment to make tennis a major var sity sport along with baseball, track, football, basketball, and re cently, swimming'. I dcri’t know whether any other schools on the coast, or in the country make ten nis big time, so I can’t make any comparisons or suggestions. And not knowing a great deal of the situation 1 won’t venture any opin ion. But it is something for you, you and you to think over so I leave the thing with you, you and you. A suggestion: take a look at the Duckling relay squad on Fri day afternoon when they meet the Rooks, for the yearlings are going to be out for victory after last spring’s four to one trouncing. housemothers guests Mrs. May Harman was hostess to house mothers at a luncheon given at the Chi Omega house Mon day noon.

M If ■ ■ Ii; ■ ■ ■ ■ Hayward’s Trackmen Point For Friday’s Seattle Meet Cinder Squad Time Trials Set for Today 18 Men to Travel North; Webfoot’s Weakness In Hurdles; Strength Shows in Field Coach Bill Hayward will send his 1 varsity track and field squad through a lengthy session of time trials this afternoon in order tc pick his traveling squad for the dual meet with the Washington Huskies at Seattle on Saturday. According to present plans only j 18 men will make the trip north for the annuai meet, which accord ing to Hayward, the Webfoot squad of this season has very little chance of taking. The greatest weakness to date has been in the running and hurdl ing events. Squeek Lloyd, one year veteran sprinter, is the only experienced dash man out, while no lettermen are available in either hurdle race. Hurdlers Weak Harold Weston, Bob Goodfellow, and Milo Lacy make up the whole Webfoot hurdling corps, and none of them are rated on a par with the Husky timber-toppers. Oregon does not lack first place winners, with George Varoff, world's indoor champion pole vault er; Squeek Lloyd, dashes and broad jump; Sam McGaughey, veteran two-miler; Bill Foskett, cream of the coast's shot putters; Dutch Holland, husky discus thrower, are all expected to top the Huskies in • their specialties. No Seconds, Thirds The second and third places are the major worry of the Webfoot menfor, for the Washington squad is well-balanced and is counted on to place men in every event. The Huskies so far this season have dropped two dual meets, one to California and the other to Stan ford’s Cardinals. Four Aces Hec Edmundson’s crew is weak in the field events—Oregon's forte —and powerful on the track. Ed mundson pins his hopes on four aces, Bruce Hunter, Marion Hay, both dash men, Vic Palmason, bril liant 880 man, and Bill Vandermay, who has topped 6 feet 6 inches in the high jump. Jim Panton, Canadian flash, is slated to give Lloyd a battle in the broad jump, while Jim Angle and Bill Trowbridge are the aces of the distance men.

A team batting average of .396 fails to show any desperate weak ness on the part of Duck hitters, but Hobby is busily preparing for this weekend’s Idaho series, and the coming pair of crucial contests against Washington State. Practice Game Today Today a practice contest be tween Honest John Warren’s un defeated Ducklings and the var sity is scheduled. LeRoy Mattingly and Dave Gammon are slated to pitch. Hobby may use part of his i hurling staff with the frosh line up. Northern division play will get a real start this week with six contests slated. While Oregon and Idaho are mixing on Friday^ and Saturday in Eugene, the unbeaten Washington State Cougars will be facing an untested Washington club in Seattle. Idaho plays Oregon State in a cellar series on Wednes day and Thursday afternoons. May Mean Title Provided the Cougar’s and Hob by’s Webfoots come through this week unscathed, Monday and Tuesday may see a championship hanging on balance. The team sweeping that series would get a tremendous start toward the con ference championship. Coach Hobson doesn't over work a pitcher more often than every five days, so he wall probably save Bill Saylcs for the Cougars. Cap tain Johnny Lewis, Bob Hardy, or Bill Marshall are expected to carry the load against Twogood's Vandals.

The Thetas got o'ff to a nice start in the first with two runs scored by Chessman and Labbe, but the AOPi gals were a little slow on the trigger, not bringing in any until the fourth, when Alcx ine George socked a homer, scor ing Shirley Rising. In the third and fourth innings the Thetas piled up three more, with Barbara Espy, Theta captain, getting her share of the limelight by clouting a homer, but the bases were empty. Then Mary Magee, AOPi catcher, was hit in the face by a fast ball in the fourth and had to retire, being replaced by Jean Weber. In the fifth, Plummer scored for the Thetas, and Dekoning for the AOPi's, closing the game at 6 to 4, on account of darkness. The teams who arc scheduled for 6:15 games arc going to have to do some fast stepping in the first inn ings in order to pile up the scores, because it doesn’t remain light enough to play a full game after six o’clock. Barbara Ketchum, the AOPi captain, with her teammates, Shir ley Rising and Alexine George, did some fine playing for their posi tions, while, Barbara Espy and Jerry Chessman showed up for the Theta gals with some flashy playing themselves. Excluding all the flies muffed, and favious other errors charac teristic of girls, the game was quite snappy. Scorer was Grace Martin, and the umpire was Edith Clarke.

In the meantime, Doc Near, Beta pitcher, was letting the Yeomen down with 5 hits for the 7 innings. Wilson Seigmund, Les and Rich Wcrschkul, and Doe Near led the Beta offensive.
