The Chatter Box By ELBERT HAWKINS Three cheers for the class of 1940’s athletic teams. This being freshman edition of the Emerald we might as well survey briefly the various Duckling teams, and see what they have accomplished dur ing the past eight months. One of the first questions we en counter is whether the frosh teams have measured up to previous Ore gon yearling aggregations. Con sidering things as a whole it looks like they have—maybe with some to spare. Back of three freshman sports is Honest John Warren, former Astoria high mentor, who coaches football, basketball and baseball. Colonel Bill Hayward assisted by George Scharpf handles track, and Leonard Anderson, former Oregon golf star, has charge of the frosh divot diggers. * * * It is needless to say that Honest John came to Oregon last year with a winning background. Tutor-, ing Astoria’s Fighting Finns to state championships in basketball was just a habit for him. Skipper Warren lost none of his winning grip in coming to Oregon, in fact last year, his first at the helm of frosh athletics, proved to be a truly great one. In the all-important Frosh-Rook battles to date, Oregon’s Ducklings stand four to two over their rivals, having swept both football games, and gaining an even break in bas ketball. On the. gridiron they soundly trounced Howard Maple's Baby Beavers by scores of 18 to 6 and 25 to 0. At the end of November they closed their season with four wins and only one loss, that a freakish 7 to 6 loss to Oregon Normal in the opening tilt. A large group of varsity pros pects were developed during the season by Coach Warren. Little Jay Graybeal, a possible second Cotton Warburton, is an outstand ing left half. Graybeal scored in every game. Others from the back field are Paul Rowe, blonde dyna mo fullback, Dennis Donovan, Frank Emmons, and southpaw Bob Smith. Ends Larry Lance and Vic Regi nato stand a good chance of cover ing the varsity flank posts next fall. Tackles Ellroy Jensen and Russ Inskeep are also rated pos sible first stringers. Other out standing Ducklings are Ron Husk, Bill Stein, Melvin Passolt, Connie Grab, and Steven Anderson. Came the basketball season and Honest John's yearlings started out with the evident desire of duplicat ing the record of Oregon’s ’36 quin tet which took 19 games out of 20. Oregon State’s rooks were sub dued twice in two terrific clashes, but they came back at the season’s end when John’s boys dropped three in a row, and evened the ser ies. The last contest was lost by one point. Leading players were class proxy John Dick, center; Ted Sarpola, three times an ail-state at Astoria and Bobby BIcnkinson, MoMinn ville, forwards. Starting guards were Stan Short, ex-Roscburg star, and Matt Pavalunas, all - stater from Raymond, Washington. There were others too such as Jimmy Jones, Wimpy Quinn, A1 Kreitz, Paul Jackson, Burton Bur roughs, and Lyle Goode. This gang jtiled up eight victories in twelve games. Moving along to spring sports we find the record still incomplete, but present indications point to a highly successful program. In base ball they're off to a flying start with a five-game streak to date, and threaten all comers. They're confident that Oregon State's Baby Orangemen will prove only a breeze when the teams hook up in their annual four game '•little civil war'' series. One important boy out there is Southpaw John Linde, former Grant pitcher, who has overpowered all opposition. Wimpy Quinn, slugging short stop, should be another big factor in the team’s success along with Jimmy Jones, smooth-working sec ond sacker. Both boys are polished performers. There are other var sity prospects too, but space won't allow mentioning them. * * * The frosh track season is not very far underway now, but the squad promises its best record in years. C'oach Hayward's yearlings swamped five valley schools recent ly in a five-way meet, scoring 108 Bill Sayles Pitches 9 to O Shutout Over Idaho Vandals Duck Nine Maintains Conference Lead With Third Home Triumph Big Bill Sayles, ace Webfcot ^peedball hurler, handcuffed and completely baffled a crew of fighting Idaho Vandals on Howe field yesterday afternoon, yielding but two safe hits while his mates batted out a 9 to 0 victory in their third conference game. The talented Duck righthander found warm weather to his liking, and for seven innings blanked Coach Forrest Twogood’s nine with narry a hit. He loosened up a bit in the last two frames, allowing Idaho a pair of blows, one a dinky scratch hit by Harold Roise, Vandal ngnt riciaer, wno Dioopea one jusi out of Gale Smith's reach over first base. Eight Vandals whiffed before Sayles' slants. Lace Out Nine Hits Coach Howard Hobson’s title [ contending Ducks combed three Idaho pitchers for nine hits, and turned each one into a run. The ! Ducks, after holding a narrow 3 to 0 lead for six innings finally i pounced upon “Whitey” Jenkins I with a four-run barrage in the seventh, and batted him out of the box. Hitting for the Webfoots was i evenly distributed with Gale Smith, Duck first sacker, being the only man to contribute two hits. He tripled over the bank in left field in the fourth canto, and added a single to the big seventh inning rally. Bill Courtney, Bespectacled Ore gon left fielder, larruped a long home run into left field as second man up in the first inning for the only four base clout. Lucky Seventh Ralph Amato started the seven th by drawing a free ticket to first base. Jack Coleman got on through a fielders choice, and both runners advanced when Jenkins uncorked a wild heave. Dependable Ford Mullen then stepped to the plate and socked a sizzling single into right field bat ting in both runs. Along came Cliff McLean after Courtney had walked, providing a perfect bunt to score Mullen on a squeeze play. Courtney over-ran third, and was nabbed at the plate. Jack Gordon then rapped out a ringing double and tallied on a pitcher's balk. Harold Roise, Idaho's second man in the batting order, ruined any thoughts of a no-hit game by knocking his freaky blooper hit between Gale Smith and Hurney, in the eighth. Kramer Smacks It Idaho’s second and last hit came from the bat of Bill Kramer, ver satile basketball, baseball, and track man. It was a solid hit over Gordon's head into left centcrfield. Sayles had made him bite at two balls, but grooved the one that Kramer layed' out. After Jenkins was batted out of the box, Coach Twogood sent in Dean Broadhead, righthander, but he lasted only one inning and was yanked in favor of pinch-hitter McKay, who was sent in to touch oft the spark of an Idaho rally. He flew out to Mullen at third base, however, and Sayles pitched himself out of the only real Vandal threat. For Bill Sayles it was shutout number three, and his fourth con secutive triumph of the season. Captain Johnny L<;wis, senior righthander, is slated to lace Idaho in today's game. points to about SO for the second place school. Competing against the Ducklings were University high, Eugene high, Corvallis, and Albany. Those four schools netted exactly two firsts between them. Yesterday’s relay affair against Oregon State’s rooks marked their second appearance. Several of the lads have con sistently bettered times of Coach Hayward's varsity eindermen this spring. Sprinters Jim Buck and Dean Ellis are recognized as fops right now. Other sprinters of var sity caliber arc I.yle Keider and Elvcd Steele, a pair who have been pressing the Lemon-Yellow boys. Kirman Storli, a quarter miler, and Bud Simmons, pole vaulter, are another duo of 1036 state, pro champions who are this season scintillating for the Ducklings. \ few other outstanding frosli track men are Cordy Anderson, javelin; Bob .Samuel, broad jump; 32arl Mercer, Tom DeFreitas, pole vault; E. F. Buxton, Harry Ifildeburn, middle distances; Wayne Mackin, Bob Mitchell, distances; Bob Hothuli, Howard Jones, hurdles. * » * As far as golf is concerned, our Baby Ducks are well equipped to take care of themselves.

The match will be the first of a home and'-home engagement with the Corvallis youngsters. The Ducklings will be after their second win of the season today. They swamped Universiyt high and Eugene high Wednesday in a three way meet at Laurelwood. In their only other match of the year, played during the mid month’s wet spell, the Frosh lost to the varsity team on the Eugene country club course, II to 7. Making the trip today are Don Coles, Ben Hughes, Bill Rosson, Doc Near, Charles Phipps, and Max Peabody. They will play in the order named. Although the frosh will miss the services of long-driving Shelby Golden, lost from the team tljrough ineligibility, t He squad’s chances of beating the Rooks are consider ed good. The same six players were re sponsible for winning this week's three-way meet, when they whack ed University high 14 to 1, and Eugene high 15 to 0. All six are shooting good golf. Last year the frosh, led by Doug Ramsey, beat the Rooks once, and split with them in the second fray. The first meet, played on the Laurelwood course, saw the frosh win 21-0. The return meet at Cor vallis ended 13’.-13 . Lineups for the doubles matches, slated for the morning round, will not be decided until the golfers reach Corvallis.

OPEN ALE NIGHT Team Faces Husky Cinder Squad Today Varoff to Compete; Will Not Attempt New Record; Husky Victory Expected By KENNETH McCUBBINS Colonel Bill Hayward will send his Duck track squad against the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle this afternoon in an at tempt to dump Hoc Edmondson's Huskies for their third dual meet defeat of the year. Although the Oregon squad has a chance of taking over half of the field events, which are the Huskies weakness, the Webfoots will be doing well to collect 47 points because only four men are conceded chances of taking points in the cinder events. Won’t Assault Record Foremost in Oregon's field en trants will be George Varoff who is popularly conceded an easy vic tory in the pole vault in spite of the fact that Washington's Boyd Childs has been consistently clear ing 13 feet. Varoff will not attempt to regain his lost world's outdoor pole vaulting record this afternoon, but will jump only long enough to gain first, place because of a bad leg muscle. Other Ducks expected to glean points in the field events are Bill Foskett, Chan Berry and Dutch Holland, who are slated for the weights, and Elmer Koskello, who is favored in the javelin toss. In the track events, Oregon’s chances to pick up points will rest with Captain Sam McGaughey in the mile, Sam Schriver in the half mile, Kan Miller in the quarter, and Fiank “Squeak” Lloyd in the dashes and the broad jump. Hec Edmundson named the fol lowing 18-man squad for this after noon’s track meet: Sprints Bruce Humber and Mai ion Hay; 440-yard dash Dick Montgomery and Jack Flagg, 880-vard run Vic Palma son and Bill Kindred, mile run— Jim Angle and Bill Bill Trow bridge, two mile run—Dave Mc Ginnis and Courtwright. hurdles Fred Sutficld and Jimmy McGold SAE, Theta Chi Clash Sunday Compete for League E Donut Ball Title The SAEs and Theta Chis will clash Sunday morning at 9 o'clock to decide the championship of league E. The game originally scheduled for Monday was moved up to allow Ronnie Husk to twirl for the SAEs. The SAEs were already favored because of an earlier 3 to 1 victory over the Theta Chis. Art Ebright and Earl Repp, SAEs murderer's row, responsible for the SAEs fine showing to date will also be in harness barring ac cidents. Ebright is one of the hard est hitters in donut softball. A1 Conger left fielder, and Gil Hodgen, catcher, are also slated to perform for the SAEs. Bob Street, who hurled for the Gas company in Portland last summer, will probably chuck for the Theta Chis, as he has pitched all of their games so far. Herb Clark, outfielder, and Henry Minger, first baseman, bul warks both on offense and de fense, are slated to start. Other games in the final playoffs of this year's intramural softball tourney will be played at 4 o’clock Monday afternoon between the Betas and the Phi Dells. The two teams are rated about on a par. The Betas lost an early season game to Alpha hall, while the Phi Dolts were lucky to come through their league undefeated. After the Betas lost to Alpha, they won three straight to tie with the Yoemen for the championship of league A. In the playoff game, the Betas won 14 to 3. Pitching for the Betas will prob ably be Doc Near, while Tommy Swanson is slated to hurl for the Phi Delta.
