The ‘ Case of Mike Hoyman,”
Une swimming coach at Oregon, is
ja relatively simple one in that
Iftoney seems to be the solution.
(After that the situation begins to
Cloud.
Facing the University—in ease
you haven’ tworried much about
it—is this*. Mike Hoyman, who
Itas coached Oregon swimming
teams to coast prominence on a
fmreiy gratis basis, is considering
year’s leave of absence.
Hoyman chooses to pursue doc
toral! work, possibly at Columbia
University, in health education, and
the year’s leave is a virtual cer
tainty for the near future.
tsM-lnimers and fans alike, real
ising what his loss would do to
UW;iij)iming on this campus, want
tiini to return. With his present
salary, which includes nothing for
swimming, Hoyman is likely to
never come back.
j <> t e
Unless a public subscription is
taken, there are only two sources j
from, which a coaching salary
might come.
1. The athletic board.
Z Via the PE department.
A little investigation will show.
however, that getting a sum of
pay $400.00 from the athletic,
board is not very probable now.
How much money is available
for improvement purposes on the
campus from that source falls
mainly upon how many people
click the turnstiles at football and
basketball games.
Or. this campus the hoop sport,
ts expected to at least pay its way,
While football is expected to pro
vide enough extra revenue to take
care of spring sports.
* «! * *
That much money is not avail
able for such a cause of giving
Mi ke Hoyman a boost, was proven
Monday night when the athletic
board turned down a much-needed
left field fence project for Howe
field.

Cutler Lays Law
Down to Hopeful
Mural Entrants
Russ Cutler, PE instructor, is
asking all intramural managers to
get their Sigma Delta Psi teams
lined up for the coming meet to
be held some time during the first*
week in May. •
At least three men must be en
tered from each house although
no maximum limit is set on the
entrants and each man may enter
as many events as he pleases.
lEach contestant must have at
least six workouts before the meet,
while intramural managers must
have their entrants in by the first
of May.
Varsity and frosh track athletes
are eligible for all events, except
ing the event or events in which
they are competing on the varsity
or frosh team.
Every house fielding a team will
receive 30 points. The winner of
the meet is given 75 points, while
45 points will be distributed among
the other teams in proportion to
the position they take.

I taken care of.
I’m -neither approving pr de
nouncing the idea, but a member
of the administration hinted the
other day that compulsory student
' body fees might be a solution. It
was pointed out that a large per
! centage of the students don’t buy
ASUO cards—which is important
when you start adding the cash.
Considering that help from the
athletic board is not probable
right away, it looks like the bur
den rests upon a raise via the PE
department. Dean Leighton fa
vors a raise for Mike, but the
matter is beyond his jurisdiction,
i Today a team of girls from the

Coach Keene Leads
Bearcats on Return
Visit; Hardy To Hurl
Salemites After Revenge for Last Week's
Double Defeat at Hands-of Duck Batters;
Captain Mullen Will Catch
Hoping to duplicate last week’s double victory over the Willamette
Bearcats, Oregon’s Ducks with Coach Howard Hobson back at the
helm will match line drives and hooks with Spec Keene’s hopefuls
this afternoon on Howe field at 3:30.
Last week the Ducks recorded a double victory over the Bearcats.
A combination of bad weather. Bob Hardy, and Wimpy Quinn combined
to make life miserable for the visitors as they went down to defeat
in the first game, 5 to 3.
The next day in Salem it was
mostly Quinn as the raw-boned
slugger hit a home run with the
bases loaded and the Ducks prac
tically coasted the rest of the way
to win. 9 to 6.
This afternoon will be a clean
slate for the Bearcats, and Coach
Keene will be shooting the works
in an attempt to knock over the
Ducks and regain some of the pres
tige lost in last week’s defeats.
The Bearcats claimed the state col
lege baseball championship last
year after taking a 17-inning deci
sion from Oregon to win the odd
game of the three game series.
Five Men Lost
Although he lost five of his ball
players to professional baseball and
one of his hurling mainstays did
not turn out for baseball, Keene
has succeeded in digging up some
good ball players in addition to
holdovers and now has a fair ball
club.
Walt Weaver, chief chucker of
Keene’s mound corps for the last j
two seasons, has returned and is
the nucleus of this year’s mound j
staff which includes Tom Hager,
Francis Gatchell, Bill Anton, and
Bob White, transfer from Eastern j
Oregon normal.
Johnny Oravec, former little all- |
American football player, and Buz
zy Hagedorn alternate in trying to
fill Dwight Aden’s shoes. Aden is
the outfielder who signed with the
Boston Red Sox.
Robertson, Moe Catch
Cathenvood and Southard, sec
ond and fourth hitters on the club,
hold down the other two outfield
posts.
The infield is taken care of by
Kolb on third, Shinn at shortstop, ;
Watts on second, and Pierce on:
first. Robertson and Moe have j
been doing most of the catching to#
date.
Bob Hardy was named by Coach
Hobson yesterday to handle Ore
gon’s mound duties with John
Linde, another southpaw, ready for
relief. Ford Mullen will continue
at his new post behind the plate.
The infield will be the same
quartet of old reliables that have
handled the inner defenses most of
the time since the start of the sea- j
son. Slugger Wimpy Quinn. Jack
Gordon, Jack Coleman, and Gale
Smith are the big four, from third'
base to first.
Outfielders Alike
According to Coach Hobson
there is little difference in any of
the five outfielders, and he declined
to. name any starters although he
said that all of the five, Ken Bat
tleson, John Linde, Bob Beard,
Masa Kato, and Matt Pavalunas,
are cretain to see action.
A cheering note in the Duck
camp was the addition of Cece
Walden, catcher, and Bob Smith
and Jimmy Nicholson, outfielders,
to the ranks of the baseballers. The
boys have been out for football,
■but were released by Coach Oliver
after a short football workout yes

Phi Delts Will Battle
SAEs for Donut Title
Delts Bounced, 6 to 0;
Theta Chis Beaten;
Holmes Stars
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Al
pha Epsilon clash today at 4 in
the championship match of intra
mural water polo. The Phi Delts
trampled Delta Tau Delta, 6-0, in
yesterday’s battle, while SAE
downed a game Theta Chi outfit,
3-0.
In the first match yesterday af
ternoon, the SAEs scored two
goals in the first half and one in
the last. Scoring honors were1
even with. Ralph Rafferty, Jim j
Marnie, and Jim Smith each scor- [
ing a goal. Jack Levy, varsity dis- !
tance man, played a strong de-i
fensive game for the winners.
Theta Chi put up a stubborn!
defense against the SAE team but
failed to get its offense clicking.
Vern Hanscam, Theta Chi goalie,
was instrumental in keeping the
score down by staving off repeat
ed SAE goal threats.
Ed Holmes, high scoring Phi
Delt forward, had little difficulty
in solving the Delt defense as the
Phi Delts white-washed Delta'
Tau Delta. Holmes garnered five
goals. Jack Blanchard and Joe
“Qeenie” Devers played a consist
ent game for the winners, while
Harry Regnart was the outstand
ing churner for the losing Delt
team.

Bob Reider Checks

Mates Collect on
Demo's Errors
By LYLE NELSON
Bob Reider, lanky Duckling
hurler, silenced the big bats of the
famed Jefferson hitters and
pitched the freshman baseball
team to a 8 to 3 victory yesterday
on Howe field.
The yearling hurler was in trou
ble several times during the game,
but managed to pull out before the
Jefferson team could gather many
runs.
In the first inning the lads from
Portland led off with two runs
combining two walks, an error,
and one hit. From then on Reider
settled down and allowed but one
other run, that in the sixth on hits
by Ward Walker and Dave Brad
ley. He appeared to become more
effective the longer he was on the
mound.
No Long Hits
The game was marked by the
absence of extra base hits. Al
though a total of 12 hits was rung
up, all were singles. Only one
player, Ward Walker, Jefferson
shortstop, got more than one hit.
Carl Kellenberger of the Demo
crats “robbed” several Duckling
sluggers of sure hits with his
catches in left field. On one
catch he ran about 100 yards af
ter a high foul and caught it run
ning at full speed. He was given
a nice hand from the crowd for
this catch.
The yearling nine trailed until
the sixth inning when they put on
a five-run splurge to give Reider a
comfortable lead. In the big inn
ing Quentin Earl, first up was hit
by a pitched ball, Rathbun then
sacrificed and Reider was also hit.
Smith was safe on Walker’s er
ror, Earl scoring. Jack Shimshak
then hit to the third baseman, who
threw to home. Butenscheon
dropped the throw and all men
were safe. Bill White then connect
ed for the only frosh hit of the
inning to drive in Smith and Shim
shak.
