Hooray for the intramural de partment—they have established an accepted set of softball rules for intramural play. This is a fine time to think about spring term softball with Oregon's crucial series with Idaho upon us, intramural wrestling starting Wed nesday, and the second half of the Frosh-Rook series just around' the corner, but the move was so mo mentous that it merited a slap cn the back. Whose idea it was, we don’t know. Maybe Rollie Dickie brought it down from the University of Washington. Maybe Jim Wilkin son brought it with him on his hegira from the Palouse hills. Or, it might have been Washke, Cutler, or Boushey, who thought of the innovation. Whoever it was, though, deserves a vote of thanks, a slap on the back, and an Easter lily as a token of appreciation. Last year during the season there were fights, disagreements,’ and arguments galore due to the ineffective rules laid down by the intramural organization to govern softball play. In the first place the rules were a combination of makeshift rules and baseball rules—a combination which worked more to the detri ment of the game than to its good. The makeshift rules were all originated, apparently, here. They were incomplete, and in many cases contrary to the rules in any other kind of baseball and soft ball. For example, one rule was that a ball that lit fair and rolled foul inside the first and third base lines was fair. This not only worked a hardship on the players, but also caused many errors in interpreta tion. The new softball rules provide for longer bases, which should make for closer games. The pitch ing distance is practically the same. Ten men to a team are also specified. With all these improvements, (Please turn to page three) Sluing Iflusk!

It’s the terrific swing that’s going on this season toward Eric Merrell’s Clothes For more University men are constantly recognizing the im portance of Merrell’s label and what it stands for!!

What? Not the all-Americans, not the all-staters, but the all-intramural basketball stars. Yessiree, those exponents of the modern game of casaba have been picked by your Emerald sports scribes as the out standing men of this season. These decisions are not advanced as the final authority, but are the honest opinions of the sports reporters who have covered all the games. Duck Boxers To Meet Elks Club Tonight M. Hanscom, Thorne Nickerson, Tower, Wood, Haley Mix With Club Men Six members of the University of Oregon varsity and freshman boxing team will meet members of the Eugene Elks club tonight in a match for Elk members only. The only varsity men who will fight are Tower at 148 pounds and Nickerson at 135. The others are freshmen or men who are ineli gible. Coach Jim Dimit is attempt ing to gain experience for his freshman squad in preparation for the coming year. Flyweight to Fight Wendell Haley, freshman at 112, will get his first taste of regular competition when he meets Bob Downs. "Tiger” Nickerson, Duck varsity member, will fight Elmer Downs in the 135-pound class. Two bouts are scheduled at 148 pounds. Don Tower, varsity mem ber, will meet Howard Miller in the first bout.

Attempting to build a strong team for next year, Dimit is plan ning on holding a smoker in Mc Arthur court March 2. At the present time fourteen matches are on the schedule and more may be added to this list. This will enable all the men who have been working out to get some actual experience within the squared circle. I K illiuir Let us take a brief look at them as they parade by the press box in review. In the A league, first to pass is Jack Stafford of the champion ATO quintet. Stafford was chosen because of his point scoring and ability at hitting the hoop at the critical points. Next in line is Kenneth Shipley of the Phi Delts. It was mainly his backboard work and fine play ing that gave the Phi Delts third place. At the center position appears Darrell Miller of the ATOs. Mil ler’s long arms netted many a point for the champs. Salem Has One At one guard post is Richard Peters, the Salem boy, whose shooting paved the way to the finals for the Sigma Chis. At the other guard, and complet ing the first A team, is Wayne Scott of the ATOs. Scott was chosen for his excellent general ship and all-around playing in lead ing the Hotelmen to the champion ship.

Lewis Signs to Pitch For Yakima Indians Of Western League Captain Johnny Lewis of Oregon basketball and baseball fame has gone the way of most college stars, turned professional. Lewis has signed to play with the Yakima Indians of the Western International league this summer. Until lately Johnny has declined all offers of turning pro to stay on and' complete his studying at the University. “Yes, it is true that I liave signed with the Indians," he said when questioned. I will leave some ume . before April 1 to begin spring practice at that date." He did not | disclose the terms of his contract, but it is understood it calls for a salary plus a bonus for extra james won. Three Strlpeman Lewis will leave the University with three years varsity experi ence. John played short stop and third base in his first two years of varsity ball and last season was transferred to pitcher where he proved his ability in chucking the ball across the platter. In pitching last season Lewis ranked with Bill Sayles as the leading Duck winners. His work on the final road trip during which Oregon won the championship was perhaps the outstanding event of his playing. Lewis Wins Two Oregon went on this road trip at the close of the season in second place and with six games in seven days. This was a severe strain on the pitching staff, but the Duck chuckers came through to win all six and finish the league on top of the heap. Lewis contributed his bit to this last minute dash by turning in two wins against Wash ington and Idaho. John was recently given mention in the St. Louis Sporting World, baseball weekly, when it was learned that he had signed with Yakima. ( And so passes from the ranks of the college amateurs to the pro fessionals, John Lewis, a champ of the 1937 champions. Corey Wins Crown In Handball Climax George Corey won the all-cam pus singles handball championship by defeating Paul McBride 10-21, 21-10, 21-14. McBride won the first game by a narrow margin, but Corey came back to take the next two and the championship. The games were extremely close and saw the lead changed many times. After the first game Corey came back to win after the score was tied after the first five minutes of play. In the final game Corey staved off a rally and came out ahead by seven points. Drive it fast, drive it slow; Pomeroy’s Service is where to go.

The Oregon crew will journey to Corvallis to meet the Orange yearlings Thursday night and will play here Friday. Frosh Beaten Only Once So far this season the frosh have lost but one game and have their guns pointing for the Rooks. They have posted two wins over the Orange and will attempt to make a clean sweep of the series. No definite starting lineup has been announced by the Duckling mentor and several of the subs are giving the regular combinations a fight for starting honors. Chet Allen and Tini Smith of the subs have shown up well in prac tice and will probably see action in the game. Archie Marshik, the big Duck ling center, was absent from prac tice Monday, but returned yester day. He will probably be in shape-^ for the Rook fray, Warren indi cated.
