DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS 1 Ticket sellers took in a wee bit more than $4.00 at last week’s first game against Idaho, according to Athletic Manager Anse Cornell, which isn’t enough to even pay Umpire Spec Burke. Traveling northern division teams foot their own bills, thank goodness, so the loss wasn’t too disastrous. Yes, Spec Burke got ^his money, the football team man figed to make enough last fall to jpay him that much. The $4.00 gate against Idaho Isn't a fair test of what Oregon’s ^baseball team nets on a good day, •though. Take the Washington games of last Friday and Saturday for instance. Over 5,000 saw them, JMKM) or more watching the last fine:. $ gf The tragic $4.00 afternoon just shows what happens to baseball crowds on a rainy afternoon. For two rainy afternoons against Idaho the net “take” was under $15.00. Unfortunately when a team makes «. jaunt from Moscow (not Russia) to Eugene and Corvallis it isn’t good business to be rained out, so they play anyway. By a league ruling, games are cancelled forever if they’re rained out unless played the next day in a ooubleheader. So thunder show ers and hail storms make little (difference as long as the umpire can see the plate. Oregon managed to struggle through this spring on Howe field Without being- “officially rained out” in seven conference tilts (one more is left against Oregon State), ibut last year had to cancel two Igumes against Washington here when Jupiter Pluvius got peeved. Nig- Borleske, veteran coach at (Whitman college, has the right so'lution for keeping his athletes {interested. He just gives them! games, games and more games. , Every spring the Whitman base hall team starts playing douhle , headers, and they’ll play two or three in a row, maybe working in f,i tripleheader, something unheard l«l in these parts. It’s a mystery , where Borleske gets his pitehers— •enough to pitch and win ten games at week—hut he does. This year, for instance, Nig’s Missionaries played a tripleheader (against Forrest Twogood's Idaho Vandals and won them all, 8 to 0, jfJ to 4, U to 0. Against Washing jhvni State the Walla Walla boys Jhave nearly broken even in games ipt yed during the last few years. •hast year, as usual, Whitman heut Wiihimette for the little northwest conference title after the JKDureats had swept a series with Oregon state and bested Orgon.

Confident that his charges, if they perform up to par, can subdue the Orange challenge and bring back with them the mythical nor thern division dual meet title, Hay ward has revamped his lineup and spread his strength over a number of weak events. Switches Robinson The colonel has taken Mack Robinson, the dusky Pasadena ^vhirlwind from the 100-yard dash, leaving lithe Jim Buck, the Port land speedster, to go it alone in this event. Robinson will run a full quota of events, however, entering the 440 ,yard dash, one of the weak spots! in the Duck lineup. In addition to the 440 and the broad jump, Robinson will pair with the versatile Buck in the low hurdles. Schriver in Half Jimmy Schriver, the boy whose sparkling finish in the half-mile last Saturay against Washington State, gave him a second to Ore gon’s Kirman Storli, will stick to this event this week. Black-haired Don Barker will forsake th mile for the first time this season. He will team with Crawford Lyle 'in the two-mile while Bobby Mitchell takes care of the mile. Bob Fitchard is set to enter only one event, the broad jump, against the staters, leaving the high jump to Pole-vaulter Rod Hansen, and Recruit RKen Shipley, the Beaver transfer. i Oregon entries for Saturday: Hank Clouts One Hank Leiber . . .

That’s the record Bill Hayward coached teams have compiled in 32 years of competition with Oregon State track and field representa tives since ual-meet relations were inaugurated in 1906. But for three interruptions the Beavers and Webfoots have met on the cinders and field annually since the first meet. There wrere no meets in 1911, 1915, and 1917. Led Since 1906 Hayward’s Webfoots took the lead in 1906, winning the initial meet from the Beavers by a 76 to 46 count. Oregon’s winning streak stretched to nine before the .colonel’s men met defeat in 1918. One the tables were reversed, the Orangemen set out to even mat ters, winning the next seven meets.
