Northern division baseball wil
be just getting a good start thi:
week, while down in sunny Cali
fornia our southern brethren havf
been playing for over a month, anc
are now getting ready to settle
things.
Publicity from that region or
baseball has been rather sparse —
probably no one cares anyhow—
but they were in mid-season or
April 1, and by now have hit ovei
the 20-game mark.
Contrast that with Oregon’s twe
league tilts of last week, and well
under ten for the whole spring
It’s lucky they don't have a play
off series between the northern and
southern champs, for not until May
29 will the pennant struggle up
here be decided.
* * »
A regular 16-game schedule for
the same five teams is used for
basketball and baseball in the nor
thern division, but the southern
branch uses a different set-up ev
ery spring.
They add .St. Mary's and Santa
Clara to the “big four,” and call it
the California Intercollegiate Base
ball association instead of the fam
iliar “Southern division” moniker
which holds forth in basketball.
Southern California, California,
Stanford, and UCLA are the old
members. Incidentally St. Mary’s
and Santa Clara are at present in
the cellar, while the Trojans and
the Bears are scrapping for first
place.

Fate gave Coach Hobson and his
Webfoots a cold stare as far as
pre-season games were concerned
-—what with so much rain—but in
the northern division race it looks
like things are more rosy.
Oregon gets to play its first
four games against the confer
ence’s two weakest teams, and in
that way should be fairly seasoned
by the time Washington State
comes along.
Dopesters figured Oregon to
sweep last week's Oregon State
games, which they did, and to
chalk up another pair against Ida
ho here on Friday and Saturday.
These Cougars who expect to
tear through every club in the con
ference are going to have tougher
sledding before they meet Oregon
here next Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Washington will play host to
Buck Bailey’s men on Friday and
Saturday. The Huskies sport a vet
eran team, and on the basis of past
performance might spill Washing
ton State.
From Seattle, Washington State
moves to Corvallis on Monday and
Tuesday to square off against Slats
Gill’s desperate Orangemen. Then
to Eugene will come the Cougars
to play Hobby’s Ducks who should
be fresh and chipper by that time
with a three-day rest.
Hobby plans to start big Bill
Sayles, Webfoot specdball hurler,
against Idaho here Friday, and
then to send him against Wash
ington State. Oregon hopes rest
upon whether the Cougars can sur
vive their six games in seven days.
Funny how teams can pile up
long victory strings unnoticed but
that’s what often happens. For in
stance, not many golf fans are
aware of what our Webfoots have
accomplished.
They have piled up an unbroker
string of dual meet triumphs which
dates back to the season of 1935
This Friday afternoon on the home
course, Coach-captain Sid Milli
gan's divoteers will be gunning foi
their 14th consecutive dual meet
win against the University of Brit
ish Columbia.
Incidentally, after dropping thcii
last match to the University oi
Washington golfers in Seattle ir
May, 1935, the Webfoots went or
to capture northern division hon
ors. Last season they downec
Washington twice, but lost th<
conference crown to Washingtoi
State.

in the 1 9 35 championshii

of this year’s team who saw aetioi
with the ’35 outfit. Tom Stoddari

Hayward Men
StartTapering
For UW Meet
V ictory Outlook Gloomy
As Meet Time Draws
Near; Team to Travel
North on Friday
Coach Bill Hayward sent his var
sity track team through their final
hard workout last night in pre
paration for their opening dual en
counter with Washington's Huskies
i Saturday at Seattle.
A light tapering off is on sched
ule for this afternoon with the
squad of 18 men expected to leave
early Friday for the trip north.
Hayward has not yet divulged
his traveling squad but in a time
trial in the high hurdles yesterday
he picked his two high hurdle en
trants. Harry Weston, sophomore
speedster, and Milo Lacy, veteran
senior, were the two men chosen,
finishing the race in that order.
Huskies Powerful
The veteran Webfoot mentor
does not expect to defeat Washing
ton and figures the team lucky if
they score 45 points. Washington
has its usual powerful squad and
is looked upon as the tops in the
conference.
Bill Vandermay, Husky high
jumper, is expected to find little
competition from the Ducks as he
is capable of 6 feet 6 inches while
Hayward’s Bob Fitchard usually
jumps around the six foot height.
McGaughey and Angle
Captain Sam McGaughey will
have his hands full out-running the
Seattle duo of Jimmy Angle and
Bill Trowbridge. Trowbridge is re
garded a great prospect in this
event.
Although everyone is practically
conceding the pole vault to George
Varoff, reports from the Husky
camp say that Jay Reese, a trans
fer from the University of Mis
souri, has been clearing 13 feet
consistently and should go much
higher in the meet.
A duel is expected between Ken
Miller, one year half-mile veteran,
and Bill Palmason, cream of the
coast’s 880 men. Experts are rat
ing Miller on a par with Palmason
this season.
Squeak Lloyd, Oregon’s springy
legged broad jumper will find stiff
going against Jim Panton who has
been jumping close to 24 feet in
practice meets in the northern
country.
Washington has a trio of expert
timber toppers in Jim McGoldrick,
Bert Anshutz and Fred Studfield
and little chance is conceded the
Ducks in this event althought Wes
ton and Lacy are capable of up
setting the dope bucket anytime.
In the field Oregon's Bill Fos
kett.-shot put, Dutch Holland, dis
cus, and Elmer Koskello, javelin,
should have comparatively easy go
ing although Jess Miller, the Hus
ky harpoon thrower, is capable of
190 feet with the spear.

It is interesting to note that the
last two Seattle affairs ended by
14 to 13 scores.

is right on Washington’s campus
in the hustle and bustle of city life.
Trains and autos are constantly

Play Against Cougars
Friday Afternoon
With hopes of stretching their
victory total to six consecutive
matches, the Oregon varsity ten
nis team departed early this morn
ing to Pullman, Washington, where
the Ducks will meet the Washing
ton State Cougars for their open'
ing Northwest conference match.
Following the contest with the
Cougars Friday, the team will
travel to Moscow to meet the Van
dals for their second conference
engagement. Team members, man
aged by Mel Johnson, who will
make the trip are captain John
Economus, Larry Crane, Charlie
Eaton, Bill Zimmerman, and A1
Finke.
Coach Paul Washke, who has
been attending a national physi
cal education convention in New
York is expected to meet the team
when they arrive in Pullman.
In past contests, the W’ebfoots
have had1 little trouble with the
northern teams. Washington State
is reported to be lacking in experi
enced men as are their neighbors !
the Vandals. Oregon boasts one of
the strongest teams since 1929
when the Webfoot doubles team
won the national intercollegiate
championship from the University |
of Texas.

Idaho in First Contest
Here Friday
Bill (Chic) Sayles, sophomore
pitching ace, has been named by
Coach Hobson to start on the
mound in Friday's game on Howe
field against the louring Univer
sity of Idaho Vandals.
The Duck mentor is taking no
chances in getting his boys off to a
good start, and will have the
speedball righthander ready to use
against Washington State in next
week's crucial series.
The Webfoots took things fairly
easy last nfght, with four of the
team’s six-man pitching staff
working on the hill, and the whole
outfit taking batting practice.
Lewis, Hardy Ready
Sayles and Bill Marshall pitched
to the varsity hitters, and LeRoy
Mattingly and Dave Gammon
worked in a pactice tilt between
the Ducklings and a makeshift
lineup of fosh and varsity reserves.
Johnny Lewis and Bob Hardy are
both in fine shape, and ready to
work this weekend against Idaho.
Figures on the players for last
week's conference games against
Oregon State show nine Webfoots
hitting- over .375, and the team's
average was .396.
Batting averages follow:

Coach Hobson has been using
about the same lineup in this
week's practices that opened both
Beaver contests. Only changes
may be in the outfield.
Tentative Lineup Named
Gale Smith is a cinch to hold his
post at first base. The Duck sopho

boasts a nice hitting average for
the Oregon State series. Cliff Mc
Lean hasn’t hit his stride yet, but
is an institution behind the bat.
Smooth - fielding Ford Mullen,
third base; hard-hitting Jack Gor

second sacker, who has found his
batting eye, complete the infield.
Andy Hurney, rightfielder;
Ralph Amato and Jimmy Nichol
