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. \

Frosh Golfers
To Play Rooks
Yearlings Will Play
Match at Corvallis
A classy Oregon freshman golf
squad travels to Corvallis today
to tangle in a 36-hole dual meet
with Oregon State’s Rooks. 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.

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

Ginnis and Courtwright. hurdles

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.
At the same time the Kappa
Sigs and the Sammies will fight it
out for the championship of league
D. The Kappa Sigs are favored,
having won one game from the
Sammies already, 8 to 6.
