I DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Harvey Storey, prize rookie of tine San Francisco Seals, is a di rect product of Mr. Anson 15. Cor ned, Oregon’s super-dynamic ath let c manager. Anse had him back in 1933 at Pacific university, Forest Grove, where the lad was a freshman. Harvey naturally showed talents 'then, but rated only about fifth ©im the team. Skipper Cornell turned out a number of successful teams as coach of the Badgers, but he’s especially proud of the ’33 team Which grabbed the litile north west conference’s flag. The Bad gees had to beat out both Whit ' naan and Willamette to do it, and those clubs are now consistently kicking over northern division dubs. >:< ® ►:* .Storey played just the ’33 sea son at Pacific as a third base in n, anu then quit school to play around locally. He saw action with Amity of the Tualatin league, and then got into the Western In to- national last summer with Ta coma. \ His hitting took the eye of Cor nell. just like it does with every one. Anse says he’s a natural. The Sc Us need Storey’s hitting .but apparently can't find a place to use him. He's a third baseman by trade- played there at Pacific axi'.l with Tacoma— but San Fran cisco has a third sacker, and he’s in light field. Storey is giving customer s <lo,vn South their money’s worth, id he staggers and runs in circles binder fly balls before finally nail ing them. Outfielders that can’t field without a washtub aren’t a bit unusual, however, and Anse Cornell’s little boy, Harvey Storey ju iy stick in the Coast league. I ’ ni versify of Oregon’s prize itribulion to the New York Yankees drew quite a task when he- set out to fill Tony JLazzeri’s hoots at second base. At the keystone sack for 1(5 £..-i ties in the Grapefruit circuit (spring training competition) he cliiihlMHl the ball for .’246, . and came up with five boots. In the East they think he’ll come through. Manager Joe McCarthy didn’t hire Joe for his hitting anyway. It v> ■ s to till into the infield at the uh-important middle sack where tired Toni Lazzeri got too slow on double plays. Hailblrds say he'll aw.y have to liit about .‘280 to stick wdh the world champion Yankees i—If he fields. * » \ Tf charging machine will do it, Oregon's 1938 football team is go ing places. Tex Oliver has secured io his boys three types of rigs, one of them representing a good ly investment of money and time. Number one rig is a merry-go roundish affair for one man which can be set at its hub to any ten sion. Tex brings it from Arizona. Don’t forget today’s \Villamette game. Oregon manages to break oven with the Bearcats (always st ong under Coach Spec Keene), In t the Cardinal clad YVU base bullers hold something like 10 consecutive wins over Oregon State in the last few years. Coach Hobson is expected to re in n from his eastern trip just prior to the baseball game . . . no one lias heard from him. THE MAN’S SHOP BYROM & KNEELAND SI E. 10th St. The Biggest California Turnout in Y ears Gets a Practical Demonstration Willamette Invades Howe Field Today For Webfoot Battle Co-Coach Bill Marshall Expects to Start Bob Hardy; Bearcats Lose Five Players to Professional Baseball Spec Keene and his Bearcats against Hobby Hobson and his Ducks —if Hobby gets back in time—on Howe field at 3:30. Last year the Bearcats won the series, two games to one, but 1 this year is an entirely new chapter. Five of Keene’s ball players on last year’s squad are now playing professional baseball, while Jerry i Gastineau, one of his ace chuckers has not returned to the baseball wars. The biggest group graduation was in the infield where three men out of four were taken by profes sional clubs. Ken Manning, first baseman, Vinnie Harriman, second baseman, and Gordy Williamson, third baseman, are the three in fielders. Beard Gone Too Bill Beard, Oregon City product, and star catcher also joined the pros as did Dwight Aden, center fielder. With Gastineau gone, Walt Weaver is the mainstay of the Willamette mound corps. The only other letterman hurler besides Weaver is Larry Nunnenkamp. Bill Anton and Tom Hager, rookies from the 1937 team, and Francis Gatchel and George Wind sor are the other pitchers. Rex Pierce, first baseman, and Lee Shinn, shortstop, are the only j veteran infielders, while Buzzv j Hagedorn is the lone returning ' outfielder. Ducks Revamped Oregon's Ducks will also present a revamped lineup with Second Baseman Jack Coleman out with a slightly sprained wrist. The in jury, suffered in the Linfield game Wednesday while sliding, will keep Colehian out at least from Friday’s game and maybe from Saturday’s. With Coleman out, Co-Coach Bill Marshall plans to shift Captain Ford Mullen to second and bring Wimpy Quinn in from his outfield post to third base. Mullen played second base last summer in the state league with Woodburn. while Quinn has had considerable experience around the hot corner. Gale Smith will start at first. Linde to Right With Quinn’s outfield spot va cant and still no opportunity for football players Smith, Nicholson, and Yerby in the offing, Co-Coach Marshall will send Pitcher John Linde to right field in order to bring a little more batting punch to the outfield. Matt Favalunas will hold forth in center field with Masa Kato playing the sun field. Ken Battle son also is certain to see action in the outer gardens. Because of Willamette’s short right field fence. Marshall indicated i yesterday that Bob Hardy, south paw, will probably start today’s game. This will leave Right-hander Bob Creighton ready for the con test in Salem Thursday. Starting catcher will be Bob Beard with Maury Kelly in reserve. BANDSMEN TO HELP Members of the University band will be absent from classes from 10 o'clock this morning and on through the day to assist with the duties in connection with the state high school band contests. Walker Jumps Hayward Shotput Stock; Eacutt, Rach, Holland Also Out Stock in Colonel Bill Hayward’s weight-throwing department took a decided jump this week when Clyde “Bulldog” Walker, veteran shot* putter, began loosening up for the coming campaign. Walker has thrown the iron ball out past the 47-foot mark, and should be the mainstay of this year’s shotput troupe. Two years ago, as a sophomore, the former Washington high of Portland athlete came within one point of making his letter, but then he was competing with Bill Foskett, Oregon's northern division champ, now out of school. Needs Four Heavers Faced with the necessity of finding four competent weight heav ers for the shot-put relay event for the Oregon State relays April 16, Hayward prevailed upon Joe Huston, Webfoot gridder, to try his hand with the sphere. Huston is out now and may see service against the Beavers once again. Jim Eacutt, transfer tackle from Pasadena junior college, is another ,shotputter on the lists of eligibles. He has hit 44 feet. Holland Throws Shot . Discus champ Len Holland is another performer who has sent the ball whirling for 44 feet, and will probably throw for the Ducks in the relays. i Another footballer, Bill Rach, CARBURETOR U. S. Pat.

Coach Hayward, spending a little time with each athlete, again sent his squads through a hard work out in preparation for time trials Saturday. Workouts today among the run ners were featured by near mid season performances by dusky Mack Robinson and Bob Mitchell, Robinson galloped through a 51 second flat quarter, while Mitchell paced a 2:01.6 half mile. Trailing the sophomore sensa tion across the finish were Don Barker and Jack Davidson, in that. order. Barker set the pace during the major part of the two laps. j^ISItilSMSM^SISlEISMSi ca ej ciSISMSiSi Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers Consequently they deserve your support!
