L
JT may be a little out of season
* to talk about football, but this
week winds up spring practice, and
a lot of people are wondering just
what kind of a team Prink Callison
will trot on the gridiron next fall.
Prink has just 18 lettermen in
the fold, and a third of them are
two-year veterans. That's what he
has from last season besides 27
promising sophomores from Honest
John Warren's 1936 Duckling
eleven.
Ten hard games, including a pair
at home, and two in Portland, are
listed for the Lemon - jerseyed
Ducks. Here they are:
Sept. 24 (N)—UCLA at Los An
geles.
Oct. 2—Stanford at Eugene.
Oct. 9—Gonzaga at Spokane.
Oct. 16—USC at Los Angeles.
Oct. 23—OSC at Eugene.
Oct. 30—Open.
Nov. 6—WSC at Portland.
Nov. 13—California at Portland.
Nov. 20—Washington at Seattle.
Nov. 27 (N)—San Diego ma
rine corps at San Diego.
Dec. 4—Arizona at Tuscon.
* * *
•^TOU don’t have to read a crystal
ball to see that Callison has a
wealth of potential backfield ma
terial. There’s plenty of it. Backs
arc four deep for any position at
present, and two combinations can
be built from returning lettermen.
It looks possibly tough for Line
Coach Gene Shields who is without
Ed Farrar, center, and Captain Dei
Bjork and Kenyon Skinner, tackles.
Finding halfbacks evidently
won’t worry mentors Callison and
Mike Mikulak too much, for no less
than 11 are listed on the squad
roster, and at least seven appear
to be of first string caliber. Dale
Lasselle, two-year veteran, and
Don Kennedy and Jim Nicholson,
one-year man, are returning letter
men. Much is also expected of Ted
Gebhart, Bob Smith, Bill Bach, and
Jay Graybeal.
Looking over the string of full
backs we find four outstanding line
crashers. Two likely looking sopho
mores are Paul Rowe, blonde dyna
mo from British Columbia, and
Frank Emmons, the Beaverton
buster. Holdovers from last fall
are Arleigh Bentley and Dave
Gammon.
FOR the all-important blocking
quarterback position just four
lads of “mow ’em down” efficiency
have been picked. For the task of
clearing a touchdown trail will be
Hank Nilsen, 185-pounder from
Astoria, who has been switched
from end to the backfield; Jean
Lacau, one-year letterman; Ernie
Robertson, local product, and rug
ged Dennis Donovan, last year's
frosh team.
Lack of offensive manpower put
Oregon in the conference second
division last year for the first time
since Callison took the reins here,
but the aforementiond blockers and
ball-packers are expected to im
prove upon that greatly. Backs
aren't all though, for it looks like
Oregon will have another typically
strong forward wall.
End Coach Dick Reed has three
veterans—Leif Jacobsen, Len Rob
ertson, and John Yerby—on hand
besides a pair of the sweetest look
ing freshmen prospects seen here
in several seasons. Glue-fingered
Vic Reginato, and 180-pound Larry
Lance are the gents. Both are good
pass-snatchers.
* * $
COACH Shields will have guards
galore to form a nucleus of his
line, with ten candidates, including
, five lettermen, on hand. Captain
* Tony Amato, Joe Huston, Nello
Giovanini, Bill Estes, and Chan
Berry are the veterans. Pressing
them are Ron Husk and Ceee Wal
den, sophomores. Others are Mel
vin Passolt, Edward Robison, ami
George Jones.
Oregon pivotmen have alway;
been strong, and Vernon Moore
two-year letterman, promises tr
uphold that tradition. His mail
competition wall be furnished bi
Erling Jacobsen, freshman, anc
Denny Breaid, junior, a duo fron

Oregon Will Play Host to Athletes from 57 High Schools
Annual Prep School
Track Championships
Slated for Weekend
Plans Near Completion
For Entertaining 250
High School Athletes;
Records in Danger
Plans are nearing completion for
the entertainment of over 250 of
the state’s finest high school ath
letes on this Friday and Saturday
as preppers from 57 schools con
verge on the campus for the 11th
annual Oregon state interscholastic
track and field championships.
Qualifying meets in the eight dis
tricts into which the state is di
vided were held last weekend, and
judging from performances re
corded, several state marks are due
to tumble this weekend.
The regular order of 14 events is
listed for the meet. Preliminaries
in all events except the mile run
will be held Friday afternoon. In
the field events the leading six per
formers will qualify for the finals.
Marks made in the first day's com
petition will hold good, if not bet
tered Saturday.
Benson Defending Champs
Benson Tech of Portland will be
the defending champions with dis
trict 8, Portland city schools, out
to retain their division title.
In qualifying meets held last Fri
day and Saturday three state
marks were bettered by performers
in different parts of the state.
Briggs of Milton-Freewater high
bettered the existing mile mark of
4:29.8 set by Webfoot captain Sam
McGaughey, with a blistering
4:22.3 four laps.
Schultz Betters Record
Francis Schultz competing at the
district meet at Pacific university
bettered the existing mark in the
broad jump with a leap of 23 feet
3 inches. The state mark is 22 feet
6V2 inches.
Anson Cornell, meet director,
and other officials were scratching
their heads at the Igloo yesterday
when the entry blank from Hood
River disclosed the fact that Lov
ing, Applepicker high hurdler, had
negotiated the 120-yard high sticks
in :14.6 in the district meet Satur
day.
Mixup Occurs
The time, faster than most col
legiate hurdlers run in this section
of the country, and more than a
second better than the existing
state mark of :15.7, had not been
officially verified last night.
Officials are prone to believe that
the time was :15.6, which still bet
ters the state mark, and that an
error occured in recording it.
Arrangements for housing the
250 visitors are in the hands of a
j student committee which has been
’ appointed by Barney Hall, student
body president.
According to Cornell each team
will be furnished with two rubbers
who will work over every contest
ant. Each district will be given a
separate locker room space in the
basement of the Igloo, which is
undergoing extensive reorganiza
■ tion in preparation for the coming
event.

Oregon's long string of dual meet,
golf victories, starting in May,
1935, to reach a total of 16 con

upset the Ducks on the Corvallis
golf course 17 >2 to 19'2.
Sid Milligan, Oregon captain,
scored a par 72 in the afternoon
singles to grab three points and
medalist honors, but the Corvallis
team showed its calked heels to the
Webfooters in six of the remaining
eight doubles and singles matches
to avenge at least one of the two
defeats handed them last year.
Saturday's loss set the Webfoot
golfers back into a tie for first place
with the Beavers. Oregon State
suffered its lone defeat in Seattle
a few weeks ago at the hands of
the University of Washington.

Frosh Losl First Match
Ot‘ Season by a 6 to 1
Count at Corvallis
Playing the worst tennis of the
entire season, the Oregon frosh
were soundly trounced by the Ore
gon State Hooks, 6 matches to 1,
in the opening clash of the “little
civil war" series last Saturday.
Every man of the Frosh squad
appeared off form, and in nearly
every match, a “blow-up” con
tributed to the Duckling losses.
Karl Mann, No. 1 for the Frosh,
lost the first match of the day to
C. Dougall, by 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 scores.

Hi re Saturday
By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC
The hopes of Paul Washke’s ten
nis team for an undefeated season
were sadly shattered last Saturday
when the racquet wielders of Ore
gon State administered a five to
two-defeat to the Webfoot varsity
netmen.
It was the first defeat of the
season for the Ducks who were
dropped from the top spot in the
conference to a possible tie for first
position. The two teams will en
gage in another civil war next
Saturday on the University courts,
in a match which will probably
determine the conference champ
ionship.
VYashkc Comments
1 Coach Paul Washke contributed
: his team's showing to let-down af
; ter the Washington victory. “I
expected that the Washington
match would have an effect on
■ their playing for the Oregon State
match,” he said, "but I believe thal
the boys will make a much better
showing on the home courts next
. Saturday.”
Things started badly fur the
Ducks as they dropped three out of
. five singles matches. Captain John
Economics was the first to lose for
the Webfoots, being defeated by
Claude Hockley in straight sets,
6-3, 6-3. Hockley played superb
tennis, passing his opponent with
many well-placed lobs and drives.
Gallagher Wins
John Gallagher, playing No. 2 for
the Beavers, stopped Larry Crane
in short order with 6-3, 6-2 wins.
Crane appeared off form, making
many double faults and bad drives.
Charlie Eaton brought the first
glory to the Webfoots by decisively
drubbing Louis Deitrich, No. 3 for
the Beavers, in straight sets, 6-0,
6-1. Eaton was apparently little af
fected by the smooth and glaring
courts as he coasted to au easy
win.
Bill Zimmerman lost the heart
breaker of the day when he was
edged out of a victory by Bob
Trouten in the eighteenth game of
the deciding set. The scores were,
0-3, 1-6, 10-8.
Trouten had little trouble in the
first set, but Zimmerman rallied in
the second to even the count. The
deciding set was a hammer and
tong battle from start to finish,
with the Duck netman losing when
a high lob into the sun struck him
before he could dodge it, costing
him the match.
Finke Comes Through
A1 Finke won the second singles
match of the day by defeating G.
McComb in three sets, 1-G, 0-2, 0-3.
Finke relied on aggressive net play
and hard drives to subdue his oppo
nent.
In doubles, the Beavers cinched
the match when Gallagher and
Hockley decisively drubbed Crane
and Zimmerman in the No. 1 match
by 0-2, 0-4 scores. Both Beaver
players were in top form and out
drove their opponents at every
hand.
After taking the first set by a
0-0 count, Economus and Eaton
"blew up” in the second two sets
to lose the final match of the day
to Trouten and McComb by 0-6,
0-3, 0-2 scores.
Zeta, Omega Win
In Dorm Softball
With Gene Truby pitching two
hit ball find receiving errorless sup
port from his mates, Zeta hall
trounced Alpha 14 to 1 to win
their fifth straight game in their
march to the dorm championship.
In the meantime, the Zeta boys
were pounding Bob Wines for 13
hits, with 5 Alpha errors failing to
do Zeta any harm.
Phil Johnsrud, Shelby Golden,
and Truby led the Zeta sluggers,
each getting three bingles in five
trips. Truby got the longest hit, a
triple in the fifth to score Jonsrud
and Golden.
Zeta scored four runs in the
first, seven in the second, and their
other three in the fifth.
Omega 29, Sigma 1
Omega applied a neat coating of
wax to Sigma hall, 29 to 4 in seven
innings.
The climax to the Omega hitting
spree came in the fifth when they
punched over 11 runs.

14.6 by Prepper
In High Sticks?
OfficialsWonder
"Taln’t right," muttered offi
cials of the coming state high
school track meet at the Igloo
yesterday as they saw recorded
on an entry blank a time of 14.6
turned in by a high school ath
lete in winning the 120-yard
high hurdles.
Scratching their noggins and
speculating to high heaven, the
puzzled directors checked with
newspapers and found the time
was upheld in all sheets so a
quick telegram was sent to the
chairman of the district.
Up to press time no report was
received and the men around the
Igloo are still wondering if a
high school hurdler has run a
faster race than most collegiate
performers, and which is within
one-fifth of a second of the coast
mark in the event.
Rooks Top Frosh
In Doubleheader
Baby Beavers Come From
Behind to Win 9 to 8
Ami 9 to 6
By BILL NORENE
The Oregon Frosh baseball team
Saturday dropped two games to
the OSC Rooks, 9 to 8 in the morn
ing, and 9 to 6 in the afternoon.
John Linde, former Grant hurl
er, was touched for 13 hits in the
first game as the Rooks came from
behind to tie the score in the eighth
and pushed over another run in
the ninth to win.
In the eighth, Arnell, Rook first
baseman, doubled to left, went to
third when' A1 Schulmer'icft v$is
safe on Tom Cox's error, and
scored when Bailey got his third
hit of the game, a single to right.
Earlier in the game he bit a home
run.
.. -Jj
Sims, Rook outfielder, singled
through short to start the ninth
inning, and stole second a few sec
onds later. He then scored on Bob
Bonncy’s single to right.
Quinn Hits Homer
Wimpy Quinn homed for the
frosh in the first with Jimmy Jones
aboard. Jones had just doubled
to drive in two runs.
The fiosh also scored two runs
in the second along with single
runs in the third and fourth inn
ings. The Rooks scored four
runs in the second and three in
the fourth to stay close to the
frosh.
It was a different story in the
second game as the Rooks were
ahead all the way, while Earl Mc
Kinney was holding the frosh in
cheek although he was lifted in
the fifth inning for Semler because
of wildness.
Wimpy Quinn pitched a little
more than six innings, when a
three run rally was staged by the
Rooks, and he was replaced by
Paul Thunemann, who pitched the
rest of the game.

Hayward’s Men Nose Out
Orange 69-52 in Bitter
Struggle; Five Meet
Records Smashed
Showing increased confidence af
ter their 60 to 62 dual meet vic
tory over Oregon State on Satur
day, Oregon's varsity track squad
yesterday began preparations for
clearing their big hurdle this Sat
urday afternoon at Seattle, the
northern division championships.
Squads are limited to 18 men in
the annual affair but it is doubt
ful that Colonel Bill Hayward will
take more than 12 or 14 men to
Seattle as Webfoot chances in sev
eral events are nil judging from
performances this season.
Bucks Drop Beavers
Saturday’s Duck - Beaver duel
was one of the most bitterly
fought contests in the 31 years of
competition. Oregon trailed dur
ing the meet until the next to last
event, the discus, when a win and
a third place put them ahead 64
1 to 62. The Webfoot mile relay
team clinched the meet with a
brilliant win over a fast stepping
Orange aggregation in the final
event. Five new records, one a
northern division mark were hung
up and one meet record tied dur
ing the afternoon. Oregon was re
sponsible for four and the Orange
men one.
Varoff Sets Record
George Varoff, Oregon’s ace pole
vaulter, thrilled the crowd with a
14-foot leap in his specialty, to set
a new meet and northwest mark.
He put the bar up to 14 feet 6
inches but failed in three attempts,
bruphjug cjw^s-piece off with
his leg going up on the last at
tempt.
Bill Foskett bettered the mark
of 49 feet 2 1-2 inches he set last
year by pushing the ball 3-8 of an
inch farther. Dutch Holland
smashed the 6-year-old mark of
150 feet 6 inches in the discus with
I a heave of 153 feet.
Fitchard New Champ
. Bob Fitchard, Webfoot sopho
more, added one inch to the broad
