Oregon Bounces Washington Huskies, 8 to 4 -9- I-7--—I-£ Tricky Curve Solved By Duck Batters Who Paste Out 11 Base Hits Bob Creighton Hurls Oregon Victory; Gale Smith, Ford Mullen, Wimpy Quinn, and Bob Beard Lead Hitting Attack / ______ By ELBERT HAWKINS Oregon’s baseball Webfoots weren’t even slightly perturbed by the most wicked curve they have faced this season and metr rily slugged out an 8 to 4 win over the Washington Huskies on Howe field yesterday afternoon in a conference game. The teams meet again at 3 o’clock today. Hobby Hobson’s rising champs just blinked a little and pleased over 1500 Junior weekend fans by pounding out seven runs on as many hits in five full innings off Pitcher Warren i ' Sierer.-: Coach Tubby Graves yanked Righthander Sierer after that, and sent Southpaw Loquvam out to finish the game. , Get 11 Blows .Oregon collected 11 hits to give Burley Bob Creighton, who pitched the entire game, an early lead to work on. Creighton was bothered with a sore arm early this week but showed no trace of it in the early innings as he waded through the Husky batting list. Only sixteen men faced him in the first five innings, although double plays by the Gordon to Pavalunas to Smith combination came in handy on two occasions. Gets Generous Burly Bob got more generous near the end, giving the Huskies seven of their nine hits in the last four innings. Slants of Sierer and Loquvam " were evidently suitable to the Ore gon stickers, only three going hit less. Four of Hobby’s batting list belted out two hits apiece. Washington got off to a shaky start afield in the first, inning, com mitting three errors, two of them by Shortstop A1 Plummer. Two Webfoots, Jimmie Nicholson and tWimpy Quinn, got singles off Sier er, and Oregon combined these with the miscues for three runs. Gale “Busher” Smith clouted the first pitch of the third inning over the bank in left field for a home run. Smith had a big day at bat with three hits and three runs in four trips up. Beard Doubles - Bob Beard doubled down the third base line to drive in Wimpy Quinn for Oregon’s second run of the third inning. Quinn’s run made it 5 to 0 for Oregon. nr Sierer’s ' last inning on the mound, the fifth, started dis astrously when Gale Smith singled to center. Wimpy Quinn then doubled to center, and both men scored when Outfielder Stallcob let • the bal ltrickle between his legs. Washington’s first two hits and opening run came in the fourth when Second Baseman Jack Pyfer got an infield single and advanced to third on Ed Sheehan’s infield ** hit. He scored while Gordon, Pava - lunas, and Smith were making a , double killing on Plummer’s hit. Plummer, who had a bad day at shortstop, led Washington’s hit ting attack with three runs batted in. He knocked a homer off Creighton in the eighth with a fel low Husky on base. Pyfer with two singles in five trips up was the only Washington batter to touch Creigton for more than one hit. Ford Mullen, Wimpy Quinn, and Bob Beard all got two hits for Oregon. Gale. Smith collected the aforementioned three in four trips up.

Oregon Tops Cougars in RecordCount Hayward Proteges, Shoemake, Schraff Only Double Mark Holders of Meets Seven Webfoot track immortals who thundered down the Hayward cinders and excelled on the field during the past half-decade hold nine of the existing Washington State-Oregon dual meet records. Cougar athletes hold the other six. Bud Shoemake, George Scharpf, Sam McGaughey, Mason McCoy, Warren Demaris, George Varoff, and Marvin Janak are the track athletes of yesteryear who live today in the records they wrote in the book during their tenure in Webfootland. Only double record holders are Bud Shoemake and George Scharpf, two of Oregon’s greatest gallopers of all time. Shoemake ran the hundred in 9.6 seconds and the 220 in 21.3 at Pullman in 1935 and his marks in these events have yet to tumble. Scharpf ran the half-mile in 1935, setting a mark pf 1:54.8 seconds that year, and then in 1936 switched to the mile. ,He set a record in this event also, pacing the grind in 4:21.

MOTHERS We wish you a pleasant stay in Engene Eugene . owe. 927 Willamette Phone 411 Oliver to Show Talent of ; ’38 Squad in All-Star Tilt On Hayward Field Today Five Frosh Make Starting Lineup; More Old Grads Appear on Scene to Bolster All-Star Eleven as Game Time Nears By DOUGLAS PARKER Tex Oliver’s style show of gridiron material and touchdown plays will be presented for public approval this afternoon when the varsity Ducks tangle with an all-star aggregation of former Oregon football heroes. The game between the varsity and All-Stars will begin after the track meet with Washington State. Starting time will be approxi mately 4:30, depending on the length of the track meet. Goal posts will be put in as soon as the field events are finished, and the game on Hayward turf will begin as soon as the final track event is finished. There will be no admission charge. All-Star footballers are still awaiting the arrival of Bill Mor gan and Bernie Hughes. Hughes, a center, is a remote possibility, but little hope is held for the ap pearance of Bill Morgan. Hopes Are Boosted Stock in the All-Stars took a jump yesterday with the arrival of Andy Hurney on the battle line. Hurney will be used in either the guard or tackle position. He is not a likely starter because of lack of practice with the team, but will be used considerably in the game. Lining up for the Webfoots are five frosh, three reserves, two regulars, and one transfer. Coach Oliver plans to use every player in order to see how his prospects are taking shape. Duke Hankinson, shifty runner and passer from last season’s frosh squad, will be the marked man for the varsity. He will do the brunt of the ball carrying and passing. Hankinson plays safety on defense. Leonard Isberg, another frosh starter, handles blocking and run ning duties of the other half. Mar shall Stenstrom, frosh fullback, will start the game as will Hank Nilsen, letterman quarterback.
