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.

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

game was it . . . when two coaches

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.

Sigma Kappa defeated Kappa
Alpha Theta, 21 to 9, in coed soft*
ball Wednesday afternoon. The
playing was very inexperienced and
ragged by both teams, and many
errors were made. The Thetas
gained a little in the last inning,
however, and managed to hold Sig

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.
This afternoon Alpha Phi will
play Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega
will play Women’s Co-op, and Pi
Beta Phi will play Susan Campbell,
