Swimming Honors Visualized for 1939 Jack Dallas, Sherm Wetmore, and Other Promising Sophomores of Next Year, Along With Return of Vets Aid Hopes By DOUG PARKER Oregon’s championship outlook for next year loomed in the lime light as Coach Mike Hoyman nailed the door on varsity swimming for another season. With the issuance of letters to all team members of the varsity, Hoyman forgot the past—a comparatively mediocre sea son—and turned to next year’s prospects with high hopes of recouping some of the standing Oregon has maintained in swimming circles. , For three years, Hoyman coached teams ruled the northern! division conference. Such all-Am ericans as Chuck and Jim Reed, Bob Chilton, and Jim Hurd car ried the Yellow wave to easy vie-1 tories. Coming up next year from | the frosh ranks are two all-Ameri can high school stars who promise i to lead Oregon to further achieve ments. Jack Dallas and Sherm [Wetmore will\ make names fdr themselves as well as the Webfoot swimming team in the next three years. Since they have repeatedly; cracked coast records as freshmen, ,they are expected to set new times in the first meet next year. I/afferty Rates Ralph Lafferty, a sophomore conference champ this year in the breast stroke, will give Dallas a battle for varsity honors in this event. Lafferty ranked either first or second in every meet this last year and hit his peak for the divi sion meet. Johnny Stewart, another sophomore letterman who placed fourth in the meet, will complete the varsity competition for the event. Ralph Cathey, one year veteran, is expected to win many firsts in diving- contests during- the ’39 sea son. Cathey matched points throughout the year with Bert Myers and "in the OSC meet on the Oregon campus, beat out not only Myers but the conference cham pion, Edwards. Cathey will have , tough competition from freshman Elmer Mallory. Jack Levy is a two-year veteran returning for a third and final crack at conference records. Levy was seldom beaten in the past year’s meets and will rank as an (ace distance grinder in the confer ence. Sophomores Challenge Another two-year letterman is Jim Smith, consistent sprinter dur ing the past two seasons. Challeng ing Smith are Tom Starbuck and Pierce Mallory, sophomores, who divided second place honors in the two sprint events at the conference meet. Starbuck began the season as a pinch-hit backstroker, but when shifted back to his old posi tion near the close of the year turned in nice races both in the sprints and in the relay. Adding to the spice of competition are Jim Marnie and A1 Sanders from the frosh team. Marnie walked away from all frosh competition with Sanders taking seconds and also winning in the longer distance events. Lewis Coleman, another sopho more backstroker, will compete with Wetmore for honors in the back-paddling races next year.

Varsity Tennis Squad May Face ONS Team Today Match to Be Moved To McArthur Court If Rain Persists By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC Although definite positions on the varsity tennis team have not been determined, Coach Paul R. Washke will send a tentative squad against Oregon Normal school to day when the Lemon and Green racqueteers make their initial showing for the 1938 season. Faced with the possibility of ad verse weather conditions for the match this afternoon, Washke will make final arrangements for the contest by noon. In case heavy rain continues, the match will prob ably be cancelled or postponed; however, there is a possibility that scene of battle may be shifted to the basketball courts in the men’s gym and McArthur court. May Play Indoors Last year, the Ducks were forced to play inside against the Wolves in their opening match, and pres ent conditions indicate that the teachers would again match shots with the Ducks on the casaba court maples. In selecting his starting team composed of Larry Crane, Les Werschkul, Bill Zimmerman, Ells worth Ellis, and Karl Mann, Washke depended primarily upon results of his elimination tourna ment which was halted by rain | yesterday. Crane is scheduled to i meet Werschkul in the final match of the tourney, and the two top men will play in the No. 1 and 2 positions, respectively. Bill Zimmerman is slated for ac tion as the No. 3 singles man, and Ellis and Man will complete the line-up. Doubles teams will prob ably be combinations of Crane and Zimmerman, an Werschkul and Ellis, although no definite decision has been made. Last year the Ducks white washed the Wolves 7 to 0 in their initial clash. Play Gonzaga Washke’s racquet wielders will face their first heavy match of the year next Saturday, when the Gon zaga Bulldogs make their first ap pearance on the University courts at 2 o’clock. Final positions will probably be determined by that time, the Ducks will be prepared to wade into their heavy conference schedule. Following the Spokane invasion, the varsity squad will resume ac tion the following Tuesday when they play their third home match against the Willamette University Bearcats. The Willamette match will be Washke’s last contact with the team until April 29. Washke is leaving for the east Tuesday (evening to attend the national physical education conference.

Trackmen Work on Hayward Cinders for Oregon State Relays Colonel Bill Hayward Claims This Spring Weather Worst Yet as Trackmen Begin Two-Week Training in Rain With the taste of their first competition of the season—the Hill Military relays last Friday—still lingering, Colonel Bill Hayward’s varsity trackmen yesterday began a two-week training seige in preparation for the Oregon State Relays. The annual relays will be held on Hayward field Saturday after noon, April 16. Terming this spring’s cold and rainy weather, as the worst he had ever seen, the venerable Webfoot mentor sent his runners through a. speeay woraout in me rain, ana then called it a day. Bad Pass Hurts A bad pass from Mack Robin son, lead-off men, to Jimmy Buck hurt Oregon chances of winning the University mile relay at Hill, according to Hayward. However, Oregofn State had the stuff to sweep on to a triumph over the defending titlist even after “Bul lett” Buck regained the lead from Bill Hoyer of the Beavers. Anchor-man Kirman Storli re ceived the baton from Dean Ellis considerably in arrears of Bill Hampton of the Beavers, and al though he cut Hampton’s lead down to a few strides, he could not quite catch the flying Or angeman. “Lardlegs” Don Barker and Bobby Mitchell, Oregon’s two sophomore distance men, had one consolidation after Friday’s gun ningham mile. They finished only seventh and eighth respectively in the crack field which included the nation’s best pace artists, but at least they can say the great mile king and the rest had to come from behind to beat them.
