In just eight games on How field, a total of 16 four-ply swat have been garnered by the horn lads and their opposition. Th homers have been more numeroc than doubles and triples, and n longer bring the thundering af plause a good circuit blow shoulc We’ll wager that a five foot fenc around the field, especially in fror of the left field bank, would cu the number in half. Making a re= park out of it would stop a fe\ of these freak blows, and put th premium on legitimate ones a littl higher. Just for your observation, her is a list of those hits that went fo four bases, and where they wer knocked. Washington (four innings). Loverich—center. Oregon Normal (one game). O'Connell—left, Lewis—center, Mullen—center. Washington State (t w o games). Lewis—left, Bishop— left, Schoening—left, Eastman —center, Nethercutt — right, Carlson—center, Goddard-left. Idaho (two games). McLean —left, Courtney—left. Oregon State (one game). McLean—center, Gordon—left, Sayles—left. The count is exactly nine homer! into left field, six into center, ani one into right. We love those honn runs, but can't a good thing In worn out? It's something to thinl about anyway. V17ILLIAM J. REINHART ’ v former Oregon baseball anc basketball mentor, slipped quietlj into town Tuesday from the east and just as quietly slipped righl out again to visit friends in Salem “Bill” as he was commonly known in these parts, and Colone Bill Hayward, a pair of true-heart ed fishermen, are going out to trj their luck on some mountair stream today. Reinhart is coaching at George Washington university at the pres ent time,' and in his last two sea sons there has piled up an amaz ing record. He handled Oregon'; baseball team of three seasons ago which with the aid of Ray Kocl andi Joe Gordon captured northerr division honors. That combinatior won the pennant for two consecu tive years. A full program for Oregon’s ath letes is lined up for Saturday after noon, with four teams seeing ac tion. The tennis teams travel tc Corvallis, while on our home lot a baseball game and track meet art slated. It would be well worth youi while to watch John Warren’s classy little Duckling nine which yesterday piled up its tenth con secutive win at the expense of Eu gene high's previously undefeatec Axemen. Saturday the freshmer lace Oregon State’s rooks outfit which they downed a week ago 7 to 1. The Duckling infield includes lanky John Dick, first base; Jim mie Jones, second; Wimpy Quinn short, and Tom Cox, third. Out fielders are Lyle Goode, Jake Fish or. Matt Favalunas. The firs! string battery is composed o: southpaw John Linde, pitcher, anc Maurice Kelly, catcher. IT should be well worth the wall to historic Hayward field Sat urday to watch Oregon's tracl squad face Oregon State in thei 29th annual dual engagement. I not for the conventional aspect o a full program of events, you migh be enticed by a “special" they havi added. Colonel Bill Hayward has listec a weight-man relay to provide i humorous side to the day's fe.stivi ties. At Pullman Saturday. Oregoi forfeited the mile relay, so to giv customers their money's worth Hayward and Coach Karl Schiade man of Washington State colleg recruited a couple of quartets fron their shot putters, discus tosser? and javelin throwers. Oregon's 200 pounders. Bill Foskett. Chan Berry Stan Smith, and Dutch Hollam captured the event in a hilariou finish. A full half dozen meet record will be in danger Saturday accord ing to Coach Hayward, who has hi about every prediction this seaso: right on the head. Web foots Take to Road in Pursuit of Second Place Hayward Field to Be Scene of 29th Clash Of Two Cinder Teams It 11 - Feuding Started in 1906: Records in Danger at l Roth Teams Point foi e First Dual Win By JOHN PINK Ever since the era of bustles anc bicycles built for two light afte: the turn of the present century ii 1906, Oregon and Oregon State track squads have been baring their chests and vieing for suprem acy on the cinder paths. This Saturday on Hayward fielc will be the 29th time that thej have met and Oregon has, in those 29 years won 18 meets. Since 193i when the Ducks dropped a close encounter, they have won four straight events and are pointing to make it a half a decade in a row this Saturday. In 1911, 1915, and 1917 no events were held. Records Stand No records have stood the as sault of the constant batterings of athletes since the first meet and the oldest record on the books is in the 100-yard dash which was set by Baker of OSC in 1913, and has since been tied by Lowry, Oregon, 1929, and Starr, Oregon, 1933. Two records were made last year at Corvallis when George Scharpf, then captain of the Web foots, ran the mile in 4:20 flat and i big Bill Foskett tossed the 16 i pound shot 49 feet 2 '4 inches. Weather Clears Judging from performances thus far this season, several old records will be erased from the books and new ones written in this Saturday as both squads, straining for a victory, fight it out. With the weather clear and a warm sun shining at last, Colonel Bill Hayward was able to put his men through a satisfactory work out yesterday afternoon. Speed Work Held Short distance and dash men were given speed work and field and weight men tried for improve ment in form. After today's ses sion on the cinders, it is probable that Hayward will name the 18 men to wear Oregon colors this Saturday. It is probable that the same men who have been taken on the two road trips to Seattle and Pull man this year will make up the squad, but all positions are wide open and those showing up best in the time trails will be given the nod. Hayward Confident Several time trials were held yesterday with more due today as the veteran mentor attempts to select a strong and well-balanced team. Hayward is confident that his squad, paced by a galaxy of bril liant performers in the field events, and strengthened considerably by the return of Squeak Lloyd, vet Bill McKcchnie is the keeper of the Boston Bees and as such doesn't have to work, but he does anyway, hanging out flies to the outfield during practice. eran dash man, and Elmer Kos kello, first string javelin tosser, will come through for their first dual meet victory of the season. Recoi Is for the annual meet are as follows: 100-yard dash—:09.8, held by Baker, OSC, 1913; Lowry, Oregon, 1929; Starr, Oregon, 1933. 220-yard dash—:20.9, by Starr, Oregon 1933. • 440-yard dash.:49.3, set by Bronson, OSC, 1934, 880-yard run—1:56.2, set by Dodge, OSC, 1924.

The Ducks open their strenuous drive agrinst Washington at Seat tle Friday and Saturday afternoons in a crucial series for second place in the tace, and then move over to Pullman on Monday and Tues day for a pair against Washing ton State college. Four Crucial Games Cc.ach Hobson's club will come out of I hat string of four games probably either made or definitely out of the running. They arc then slated to swing over to Moscow, nine miles away, to wind up the trip with a pair against Forrest Twogood's last-place Idaho Van dals. The squad wound up prepara tions yesterday in a two-hour drill on Howe field. The Ducks indulged in a little batting practice at the start, and then wound up with a peppy infield drill. Gale Smith, Jack Coleman, Jack Gordon, and Ford Mullen were whipping the pill around like it was a hot potato. Fifteen May Travel Hobby stated yesterday that he would probably take a fifteen-man traveling squad on the northern trip, although all of the berths' were not definitely chosen. Sojnc of the utility men may have to stay hAme, and the Duck mentor in that case would have to alter his plans. Players named to travel are John Thomas and Cliff McLean, catchers; Captain John Lewis, Bill Sayles, Bob Hardy, pitchers; Gale Smith, Ford Mullen, Jack Gordon, Jack Coleman, Ralph Amato, in fielders, and Andy Hurney, Jimmy Nicholson and Bill Courtney, out fielders. LeRoy Mattingly has been add ed as the fourth pitcher, and Bill Marshall may also get the call. John Yerby, sophomore outfielder, is also a possible traveler. Varsity swimmers meet to night at 7:30 in Gerlinger pool. Amphibians convene at 7:45 at same place. Theta Chis Win 4-2 From Comets In Softball Game Theta Chi’s intramural champs upheld their honor yesterday after noon, defeating Casciato’s Comets 4 to 2, scoring the tieing run in the fourth, and winning runs in the last .'lining. With two down in the third inn ing, Casciat.o muffed a pop fly, letting in the first Theta Chi run. The Comets tied the score in the third, but in their half of the fourth, the Theta Chis again scored. The Comets then tied the score in the fourth, only to have the Theta Chis couple hits with Comet error.; to put across the two winning runs. In their last bats, the Comets were powerless before Bob Street’s hurling. Willie Fry, and Henry Minger starred afield for the winners with Tommy DeFreitas handling the hot-corner efficiently for the Com ets. Send the Emerald to your friends.

Wimpy Quinn continued as the opposition’s chief poison, getting a home run and a double in four times up. His double started the fifth inning, and was followed by Lyle Goode’s infield out, on which Wimp took third. He scored on Thunemann’s single to center. Quinn Socks Homer Quinn's next time up, in the sixth, he hit his circuit clout just after Igoe had caught Jimmy Jones off first. Johnny Linde, second man up in the inning, walked, took second on Igoe's wild pitch, and scored on Jones’ single to left. Two of Igoe's five walks were given to Thuncmann and Maury Kelly, cherubic catcher, to start off the seventh. Tommy Cox set down a bunt. The catcher threw high to first, scoring Thunemann from second and putting Kelly on third. Maury then crossed the plate on Linde’s long fly to centerfield. Jimmy Stevenson, high scoring basketball forward, doubled in the second inning, while Burke Austin, another hooper, singled to center in the eighth, for the two hits off Thunemann. Paul struck out 10 and only gave up two walks in the eight innings he worked. Quinn pitched the ninth and last inning for the frosh. Igoe also struck out 10 men.
