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.

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.
STUFF
Notes from the Penn Relays Sat
urday: Don Lash, Indiana flash,
was voted the “most consistent
runner under pressure.” . . . .Jim
Smith, his teammate, “the biggest
surprise” as a result oi a 4:14
mile in that world record breaking
four-mile relay.Dusky John
Woodruff, Olympic 800 meter win
ner, possessed “the greatest poten
tialities.” He carries the colors of
the University of Pittsburgh and
may be the first “four minute
miler” .... Occidental College in
Los Angeles—the team fartherest
from home at the Relays.
Bill Terry, Giant manager, has
a monopoly on all Southern Col
lege stars. . . .Jim Reynolds, Stan
ford shot putter, recently ditched
the track squad for a three week
tour with the college debate team.
. . . . Ninety-five per cent of all
the University of Minnesota ath
letes during the past year have
come within a radius of 20(5 miles
of Minneapolis. . . . The Pacific
Coast League is baseball's most
far-flung circuit covering 1675
miles from Seattle to San Diego.
In contrast, a league in South Car
olina has all its teams v/ithin 100
miles.
Minnesota’s famous passing
combination—Andy Uram to Ray
King— is passing up spring prac
tice for baseball. . . . Over one
thousand arc participating in in
tramural baseball at the University
of Alabama this spring. . . . Goofy
Babe Herman is headed for his
fifth major league team as Cin
cinnati sold him outright to the
Detroit Tigers. He had previously
played for Brooklyn, Chicago,
Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati. ... A

Hobson’s Baseball Team
Has Lengthy Batting
Drill Despite Slightly
Dampened Field
Howe field was dampened by a
slow drizzle yesterday afternoon,
but Coach Howard Hobson and his
Webfoot baseball team neverthe
less found time for a spirited bat
ting drill of almost two hours.
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 Alpha Omicron Pi's were
nipped in the bud by the Kappa
Alpha Theta girls yesterday in a
five-inning scrap on Gerlinger field
6 to 4.
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
