i DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS To Idaho’s Forrest Twogood, Oregon still rates as tops in the northern division. * Of course I haven’t seen Ore gon State yet,” said the Vandal <jo,jteh yesterday, but he went on to point out that Ralph Coleman’s Beavers have had every break in the schedule to date. "All they had to do was lay for Washington State,” he added. Twogood said he had his two best pitchers ready for the series against Oregon State, today and tomorrow, and expects to take at least one game. Against Oregon State today he’s going to send Max Stoddard, righthander, whom Twogood calls Idaho’s best pitcher. Then tomor row it'll be Earl Gregory, the boy Mho let Oregon down with one run Monday afternoon. $ 5-: $ Oregon’s recent losing streak? “What the heck,” ‘said Twogood, “you lost three of them by only one run each” time." He figures the breaks will even it up, and predicted that Hobby Hobson’s de leading champions will be near the top when the-season ends. ‘As for Buck Bailey’s Washing ton. State Cougars, Idaho’s genial coach thinks they’ll sit back on their home lot now, with the tireaded road trip over, and knock teams over as they come along— Oregon State fashion. “If Washington State beat Washington today,” said Twogood, “Buck will ride his boys home with four out of six won on the road.” ••He thinks that’s plenty nice for the Cougars, Bailey having used his beat pitchers in beating Oregon, then getting tripped twice by Ore groa State. ,ffoe Sienko and A1 Branfors are the Washington State pitchers feared by Twogood. He plays ’em in a home-and-home series on Monday and Tuesday, Pullman and apart. Moscow being only nine miles Washington? Don’t worry about them, says the Idaho boss. “They aren’t a team of hitters. They hit like we do.” Twogood then pointed out that Idaho, after yesterday’s shutout b> Bob Hardy, had scored only two rims in 27 innings of play. His Vandals were blanked, 8 to O. at Seattle, Saturday, got their fvio runs in the fourth inning here , Monday, and then went nine more •scoreless innings yesterday. ‘ Oh—figure us about equal with Washington,” said Coach Twogood after weighty deliberation. He (relegates the two clubs to a cellar (battle.

The Phi Sigs went into the fifth trailing 6 to 2, and came out of it still one point behind, 6 to 5. The ATOs added another in the sixth to take a two-run lead, but the unbeaten Phi Sigs staged a Frank Merriwell finish that netted three runs off Pitcher Don Anderson, and with them spoiled the ATO's pei’fect record. The ATOs took their early lead with a four-hit barrage in the first, which, combined with one walk, brought in five runs. They added another in the second on a pair of hits, but Stan Hobson held them hitless until the sixth inning, and the three they collected didn’t do much good. There just wasn’t enough of them. First Hit in Third The Phi Sigs got their first hit off Anderson in the third when three hits, a walk, and an error pushed across a pair of tallies. They added another trio of them in the sixth on five hits and a walk, and then came the fatal sixth. Hobson opened with a hit, ad vanced on Ray Bond’s single, and scored on Russ Helterline.’s hit. Anderson steadied to fan the next lhan, but Woodie Truax came through with a single to send Bond in. At this point a certain Mr. Plummer poled a double to send Helterline scampering across the plate with the winning run.

The Betas went to the plate in the second and came back with seven hits, one walk, and six runs, which were more than sufficient to deliver the goods. The Delts didn't do very much at all about it after the first two innings. In the first they collected one run on a pair of safeties, and added another in the second on three bingles, but from there on Buell tightened up to allow only two scattered hits. The Betas got to Kenny Webber for 13 hits, six more than the Delts collected off Don Turner and Buell. Vein Moore led the Betas at the plate with three hits in as many official times at the plate.

Gamma 8, Phi Psis 3 Gamma hall took a three-run lead in the first inning, and breezed away from Phi Kappa Psi in an intramural game yesterday. The score was 8 to 3. The hallmen kept their slate clean when they found Landgren' for three runs in the first, and added another in the second. In the fourth they scored three more on as many hits, and added another in the fifth just for luck. The Phi Psis collectde one on a pair of hits in the second, and got their other two on four hits in the fourth. By the victory the hallmen kept their slate clean in intramural competition. Comets fi, Alpha Hall 3 A home run by Bunny Butler with the bases loaded gave the Comets their margin of victory as they came from behind to win over Alpha hall yesterday, 6 to 3. But ler’s four-ply swat came in the second, and was the result of a Frosh Gridders May See Action In All-Star Tilt Stenstrom, Stuart, Hankinson Leading Yearling Stars By DOUG PARKER Frosh football talent shows signs of breaking into the lineup in this Saturday's All-Star foot ball game, according to Coach Tex Oliver. Among the outstanding pros pects listed for action are Duke Hankinson, Marshall Stenstrom, Jim Stuart, Chet Haliski, Leon ard Isberg, Norm Connoway, and Bob Hendersott. Hankinson is a possible starter at left half. The low-built fresh man from Seattle has shown Oli ver both versatility in passing and in running. Hankinson has romped around end in practice drill with as much ease as a champion sprin ter. He also packs enough weight and drive to smack the line. More over, Hankinson is one of Oliver’s most dependable passers. Stenstrom Shows Marshall Stenstrom has been filling in the fullback position ca pably since Paul Rowe and Frank Emmons have been forced out of practice because of leg injuries. Stenstrom, though handicapped by a bruised shin bone, is a likely starter in the big game this week end. Chet Haliski, regular frosh quarterback, has been transferred to the fullback position temporar , ily to relieve Stenstrom.

The victory by Washington State up north left Washington with three losses in the first four home games, and dropped Wash ington into the cellar. Hobby Hobson’s Ducks jumped into fourth place, now reposing a frac tion of a game above the Huskies. Washington State’s 6 to 3 win closed a successful road invasion for Buck Bailey’s Cougars, the Pullman lads winning four out of six games. Their two losses were to the league leading Oregon Staters.

He held the Comets in check the rest of the game except for a home run by Ed Wheelock in the fourth, but the damage was done. Fleck opened the inning by fly ing out, and Norene fanned to make it two down, but Wheelock was safe on an error, and Wines went up in the air to walk the next three men and force Wheelock across. It was at this point that he made the mistake of grooving one to Butler, and thereby hung a ball game. Wines pitched beautiful ball, with the exception of the two home runs, but was very wild. He al lowed only four hits, but walked five men, and made the mistake of grouping the five walks in the first two innings.

Sprint Battle Looms\ For Duck- WSC Mix The sprint battle of the year, featuring- two of the foremost dash men of the United States in the persons of Mack Robinson and Lee Orr, is expected to materialize on Hayward field cinders Saturday when the track and field forces of Oregon and Washington State battle for track supremacy. Robinson, Oregon’s colored cyclone, and Washington State's Orr, are known throughout the country, both having worn the red, white, and blue shield or the United States in the 1936 Olympic games at Berlin. Run in Olympics Both ran the 200 meters in the Olympics, meeting for the first time in their track careers at Ber lin. Robinson finished a driving second to the great Jesse Owens in this event, while Orr crossed the line in fifth place. Since then Orr has turned in times of 9.7 seconds for the 100 yard dash, and 20.8 seconds for the furlong. In addition, he has clipped off the 440 in the near rec ord but unofficial time of 46.7 seconds. He has also taken a whirl at the low hurdles, and has tossed the javelin past the 175-foot mark. m Others Figure Robinson has been improving with each race and Webfoot fol lowers are willing to back him against the dashing Orr. Last Saturday he clipped off the cen tury in 9.6 seconds, and covered the furlong in 21.2 seconds. He also won the hurdles handily, chalking up a time of 23.5 seconds, and was almost unchallenged in the broad jump. The race will not be just be tween these two runners. Three other boys—Curtis Ledford and Mel Pettichord of the Cougars and Jim Buck of Oregon—may slip in for a win in either event. Ledford, especially, will be the boy to watch. Last Saturday while Orr and Pettichord were running in the Drake relays at De Moines, Iowa, the Washington Stater copped both sprints in a dual meet with Idaho which the Cougars lost- by a 70 2-3 to 60 1-3 score. He sprinted the 100 in 9.7 seconds and then topped this out burst of speed with 20.7 perform ance in the 220-yard dash. Pettichord inclines more to mid dle-distance racing, having toured (Please turn to page seven)
