Oregon Clashes With WSC on Howe Field Buck Bailey Draws Limelight as Clubs Renew Old Rivalry Bob Hardy or Bob Creighton Will Pitch for Ducks; Threatened Shakeup By Hobby Leaves Several Starting Spots Open By BILL NORENE It won’t be a three-ring circus this afternoon on Howe field at 3:30, but it will be Buck Bailey, baseball coach at Washington State college, putting on his annual show as the Cougars clash with Oregon’s Ducks in the third game for the defending titlists. Bailey, undoubtedly the best drawing card in northern division baseball, never fails to put on a show for the fans. Particularly is he at his best if his team pulls a boner or is going down to defeat. Bailey s encounters with Um pire Spec Burke should be amus ing. Burke is something of a show man himself, and with Bailey to lead the way, it should be a riot. Tough Season Bailey will have a tougher time winning games this year than last year when he had returning vet erans at every spot. Gone now are Ernie Bishop, George Nethercutt, ,Eddie Goddard, Maxie Schoenhienz, and Byram, all sluggers of the first wrater, while Mel Marlowe and Tom Kinnaman, two ace hurlers of the WSC staff, have also graduated. Only three returning lettermen grace the Cougar lineup this year. Sam Eastman, catcher from Port land, Captain Corky Carlson, first baseman, and Joe Sienko, pitcher, are the three veterans. As a supporting cast for the mound crew in this year’s produc tion, Coach Bailey has A1 Branfors, Fred Brown, Cordill Clark, Louis McCollum, and Earl Ross. Bran fors is expected to start the game that Sienko doesn’t, while Ross is the lone southpaw on the staff. In the infield are Dick Emerson, Portland prep all-star at second, Dick Hess, shortstop, and Ray Mahnkey, Lou Hall, or Carl Patz wald at third.

Bernie Hughes, now in Medford, has shown intentions of returning to the Oregon campus for the all star game, according to Amato. Other possibilities are Bill Mor gan and Ray “Butch” Morse. Amato has received word from Morse that he will be down for the game and will try and induce Morgan to accompany him. Hughes and' Morse both made all-coast berths. Hughes was a center and Morse an end. Morgan was an all-American tackle in the days of “Doc” Spears’ strong teams. All three men have played With Athletics HI mm Dario Lodigiani . . . one of Con nie Mack’s Philadelphia infields, a second baseman. professional football, and Morgan, made the pro all-American team for several years before retiring. Van Vliet Back Maurie Van Vliet, lightweight halfback of two and three years ago, has returned to the Oregon campus, and is working out with the all-stars. Van Vliet has been coaching at the University of Brit ish Columbia since graduation, and is now working for a master’s de gree. Van Vliet, a trackman as well as a gridman, is expected to add speed to the backfield. Loss of Pete Barbur, ex-UCLA tackle, will weaken the line to some extent. Barbur quit school recently. Backfield prospects include Jer ry Donnel, Romey de Pittard, Don Kennedy, Arleigh Bentley, Connie Grabb, Dale Lasselle, and Steve Fowler. Grabb was a regular on the frosh team a year ago last fall. Fowler is a prospect for John Warren’s frosh team next (Please turn to page seven) i MAVGer \ A SrtAVgAMP ] 91 AS IM -Twe I MAicnes y", AApei*! J't OP (936 WAtK&fc CUP . ^ f^AM. wmica yjtu Meet ike.

He has been known to call the final score of track meets within a fraction of a point, but as far as Saturday’s Washing ton-Oregon duel meet is concerned, he is flipping a coin, and the coin has two heads. Hayward has handled sophomores for years, and he knows how inconsistent an inexperienced competitor can be, so he has picked two Cutler Explains Decathlon Type Of Point Splitting New System Divides Results of Events Ten Directions A 10-point declathlon type scor ing system will govern the Sigma Delta Psi, intramural meet which will be held May 5 this year, ac cording to Russ Cutler, physical education instructor. The new style will encourage mass compe tion, and will keep houses with a few stars from running away with the honors. The new style divides the re sults of each event into ten divi- j sions, and the contestants will be scored on that basis. Those in the highest bracket will get 10 points, the next will get nine, etc. Example Given For example, the highest level in the broad jump is 20 feet. A man who jumps 20 feet 6 inches will get the same score as a man who jumps 24 feet, or ten points. A man who jumps 18 feet 6 inch es will fall in the next level, and will get nine points. Contestants must achieve the following marks to garner ten points in these events: .100-yard dash ...10.3 seconds Broad jump .20 feet High jump .5 feet 5 inches Shot put .40 feet 6 inches 120-yd. low hurdles....,14.5 sec. Javelin ....P.168 feet Mile run........5 min., 2 seconds Baseball throw.310 feet Football punt.60 yards Rope climb.v.l.5'seconds Another If If a contestant should achieve! a mark between two point levels, he will be scored with the level he is closest to. A contestant may enter as many events as he wishes to, but cannot hope- for more than 100 points. However, the competitors will have reason to “bear down,” for their results will be sent in for the na tional championship of Sigma Del ta Psi. Last year, Oregon took both the individual and the team championships, and there is no reason that they should not re peat. A gold medal is awarded to the national champs, and silver md bronze ones to the second and :hird place men. The meet will be held at 3:30 on rhursday, May 5, on Hayward :ield. Lists of the contestants and scores by which the coming- track clash might end. If his sophomore aces turn in a top-notch performance Saturday, the snarling Husky will hit the trail north considerably cowed and with his tail drooping between his legs. Oregon’s track tutor has it all doped out that Oregon can win by a 68 to 63 score if the sophs get hot. How to Lose And then again if the second year men fail to come through, and the Huskies hit top form, the Web foots will lose by an 84 to 47 count, according to Hayward’s figures. Colonel Bill gives Oregon the edge in five events—the pole vault, broad jump, discus, and the two sprints. To more than counter-balance this array, Washington is taking the role of the favorite in six events—the javelin, shot put, mile relay, high hurdles, high jump, and 440-yard dash. This leaves four races up in the air. The 880-yard dash, the mile and two mile runs, and the low hurdles are in the hands of the gods. No matter what the final out come is, however, the Husky-Duck cinder clash will be one of the out standing meets of the 1938 season, Hayward predicts. Hopes Soar Although weakened by the loss of Jack Davidson, senior distance man, the Lemon and Green track and field stock soared in the first two workouts of the week. Responsible for the rise is the improvement of two Webfoot field men, Rod Hansen and Boyd Brown. Hansen, who was a frosh basket ball player in 1935, but dropped out of school for two years because of bad eyesight, has apparently found himself in his specialty, the pole vault. Monday night he cleared 13 jfeet and established himself as a capable running mate for Oregon’s own George Varoff. Brown threw the spear 188 feet against Portland university, Satur day, and has bettered this in prac tice. their events must be in the office by Monday, May 2. A house must enter three men in three events each to enter, and freshmen and varsity track men may enter with the permission of their coach. In tramural competition in other events will count as six workouts, and workouts must be jpx^tfd op the board at Hayward field. THE MAN’S SHOP BYROM & KNEELAND 82 E. 10th St.
