■j DUCK TRACKS | By ELBERT HAWKINS l oaches Jack Friel and Slats Gill of Washington State college and Oregon State, respectively, are probably happy over results of the recent confab of coaches in Chicago. Two brakes were applied to the racehorse style of play by the Na tional Association of Basketball Coaches in their session which Coach Howard Hobson attended as |the northern division’s sole repre t tentative. The number of time-out periods was increased from four to five, and the rule makers provided for optional use of four ten-minute quarters in place of the usual 20 minute halves. ’ It’s plainly evident that race horse basketball doesn’t fit into GUI’s percentage system, and any legislation which puts a crimp in the boom-boom methods coincides With Slats’ type of ball. * Ms C t»: ‘ Washington State's Coach Friel plainly expressed his viewpoint last fall that the hoop game was getting too fast a la no tip-off, and deliberately slowed down the Cougar offense “so it wouldn’t kill the lads off.” Hobby Hobson and Washington’s exponent of galloping offense, Hec Edmundson, both shush-shushed the idea of their lads ever drop ping dead of heart trouble, and had them drive without ptiy. Coach Hobson didn’t fight the ■idea of having five time-outs per game, either. To the contrary. He wouldn't have cared if they had decided on six. It just means that the boys can have a few more chances to catch their breath, and „ then horse-race just a little faster. Forrest “Toobad” Twogood, who lifted Idaho so rapidly in the bas ketball •world, seems to be rather «>u the fence about fast and slow basketball, and rule changes which effect it. His Vandals used both systems effectively last winter. The rule group also approved ♦he use of a four-foot out-of litiunds margin behind the back boards instead of two. A move which Hobby very definitely sup po -ted. Oregon’s northern Tl i v i s i o n dhampVob Ducks ran Into just a shortened distance against Stanford in the Coast play-off, if *ny memory is correct. Brain-trasters of the basketball world also decided to bar the niak pmg of substitutions immediately after a goal has been made. This was to prevent excessive stalling. # >:*. From the camp of the school ath letic manager’s baseball team comes word that Saturday’s game against Honest John Warren and lt; -> freshmen on the ^Varren mud flats will last only one-half an inn ing! Only condition is that the managers bat first. * ei Of course the coaches can go ahead tend substitute at the first oppor tunity after the ball is in play. I “Zipper Warren will never get its out,’’ they claim. There will come a day ... if baseball scorers ever had a night imre, yesterday’s Oregon Normal game was it . . . when two coaches ri-iti in a dozen substitutes in two innings, and you have to keep their fielding and batting records -might. it’s enough to make any THE MAN’S SHOP BYROM & KNEELAND S'l E. 10th St. Duck Nine Tips Oregon Normal, 16-8 Hobson’s Team Runs Amuck in Seventh to Erase Early Deficit It was a perfect baseball day at Howe field yesterday, but Hobby Hobson’s Ducks and the Oregon Normal-ites failed to show their ap preciation and piled up nothing but hits, runs, and errors. When the smoke cleared after nine innings of very ragged base ball, Oregon was triumphant. 16 to 8, and just 31 athletes had con tributed to the fireworks. Paul Thunemann, sophomore portsider, went the route for Oregon behind rather shaky support, allowing eight singles. He struck out only one and walked but three. Close at Start For four innings it was quite a contest, 3 to 3, but A1 Cox’s Wolves started a general uprising in the fifth, batting around for five tal lies. But Hobby’s sluggers did them one better in a big seventh inning spree —12 batting against two Monmouth pitchers. Starting Hur ler Jake Miller was beaten off the hill with two out after eight runs had crossed the plate. After the Wolyes had shelled Thuneman for five hits in the first of the fifth Oregon trailed, 8 to 3, but Wrecker Wimpy Quinn strode to the plate in the last half and put the Webfoots right back into circulation. Another Homo Run Third Sacker Wimp slashed a line home run which rolled against ; the centerfield fence for the long- j est hit of the season, to drive in! Pitcher Thunemann and Jack Gor don. Quinn had to slide at home to1 make it. The Webfoots scored their eight runs in the seventh on only three hits. Shortstop Parks for the WTolves contributed mainly to the visitors’ downfall by collecting four errors. He had five for the game. i Parks wasn’t alone in the (booting | though, for Oregon Normal’s big fifth inning rally of five runs was ( aided by a collapse of Oregon’s “million-dollar infield.” Four Singles After four consecutive Wolves had singled, A1 Cody got life on a fielders' choice, but Gale Smith threw one by Quinn at third for a gift of one run, and Quinn then tossed the ball to second wliere Jack Coleman got another miscue. Oregon settled down to steady ball after the fifth and only 12 bat ters faced Thunemann in the last j four innings. Pitchers Miller and Mohler al lowed Oregon 11 hits in eight inn ings, only two going for extra bases. Quinn got his aforemen tioned homer in the fifth, and John; Yerby, rightfielder, lashed out a double in the first. Yerby’s two-ply hit drove in Ore gon’s first two runs. Ford Mullen, hitting for Jack Coleman in the seventh, came up with a timely; single past second base to drive in! two more runs, and cap the big Oregon inning. For the Ducks Jack Coleman led in hitting with two for three. Quinn got two blows in four trips i up. scoring four runs. Ellings worth, Granden, and Szedlock paced Oregon Normal’s hitting at tack with two each. ___ one sweat . . . maybe someday the scribes can coach a baseball team —the coaches score for them . . and the scribes can run in a few subs and reverse the nightmare . . . two gridders, Hon Husk and Paul Howe, both out of spring practice with leg injuries, are expected to be ready for action again in a week or two.

Plummer Lopsided Victories The Women’s Co-op scored an easy victory over Alpha Phi Tues game of the season. The surprising day afternon, 16-2, in their first speed and control of the co-op pit cher, Margaret Macdonald, was a little more than Alpha Phi could cope with. The more experienced Orides team walked over Kappa Alpha Theta 17-4 Tuesday afternoon. The Orides had a much better team with superior pitching and fielding. The Thetas tried hard, but couldn’t make their fielding click. Dilta Delta Delta defeated Su san Campbell, 17-10, Tueday after noon. Susan Campbell was handi capped jwith a lack of two players, and the' game was quite slow.
