Men For 10-Day Trip; Bob Creighton, Hardy, John Linde Selected as Hurlers By ELBERT HAWKINS Oregon’s varsity baseball coach, Howard Hobson, went back into the trenches yesterday afternoon and refused to proceed any farther than he did the day before in naming the squad to travel on the coming road trip. Tuesday he came out on the firing line long enough to say that eight men had their jobs tied up tighter than the Hubbell-Fette pitch ing duel. — He even got enough ammunition in his trench mortar to name the eight fortunates who have their jobs tied up. Eight Named The eight are: Ford Mullen, cat cher; Bob Creighton, Bob Hardy, and John Linde, pitchers; Gale Smith, Jack Gordon, and Wimpy Quinn, infielders, and Jimmy Nich olson, outfielder. There, howevyr, something gave out. Whether it was powder, shot, or Coach Hobson himself, will pro bably never be known. At any rate he refused to name the other members of the traveling corps, (preferring to delay the zero hour a day. The zero hour rolled around, but somewhere along the line General Hobson decided to delay the fatal announcement another day. Hobby and Marshall In the meantime he sent his in fantry through a mock battle. Bill Marshall hooked up with Hobson in what might have been a pit cher’s battle, except that Hobson was pitching against his own wrecking crew. Wimpy Quinn, Jimmy Nicholson,1 Captain Ford Mullen, and Gale, Smith, big guns in the Hobson j heavy artillery, all looked over Hobby’s “wrinkle” and solved it satisfactorily. Bill Marshall had little trouble putting the horsehide past the “•Hobson Rifles,” who included |Cece Walden, catcher; John Linde, i Jack Coleman, Tom Cox, and Lloyd j Beggs, infielders, and Ken Battle son, Bob Hardy, and Bob Beard, j outfielders, in their lineup. Ford Mullen, catcher, Matt Pavalunas, Quinn, Smith, and Gor don, infielders, and Tommy Cox, 'who played with both teams, along with Bob Creighton, and LeRoy ' Mattingly, outfielders, were the other group. Shock Troops As soon as the shock troops— Bob Smith, Jimmy Nicholson, and John Yerby — arrived, Creighton and Hardy retired behind the front lines for first aid.. Tommy i Cox stayed with a short-patching,1 .and Mattingly took Hardy’s spot THE MAN’S SHOP BYROM & KNEELAND 82 E. 10th St. Frosh Baseball Nine To Plaq Hills Creek Allegretto or Rieder Hurl Against State Leaguers Today The Duckling baseball squad led by either Moundsmen Allegret to or Rieder on the mound will travel to Swimmer’s Delight today at 5:45 to meet Hills Creek, a state league team. The usuai lineup will take the field with Hamer on first, Shim in center field for the “Hobson Rifles.” The final score is still in doubt, but a median of the estimates by both sides brings the tally to some where in the neighborhood of 12 to 1.

Only one team is sure of a berth in the playoffs. Theta Chi, first division pace-makers, are the only ones who are virtually certain of their playoff position. The Theta Chis are un defeated, and have only one game left to play, that with the cellar dwelling Sherry Ross outfit. Even should the hallmen pull the impos sible, and the second place Zeta hall team win their game over Kappa Sigma, the hill-dwellers would still be in a tie for first in their league.. Possible Winners The second division has two pos sible winners in what should be g, scorching finish. Phi Delta Theta .leads the pack with four wins and no defeats, and has a one-half game edge over the DUs, who have only three wins and are defeatless. The Phi Delts would seem to have the edge with only one game to play, but that game is against the DUs who have a pitcher named Bill Jones who has waltzed through all opposition so far, and the other DU game is with SAE, not a con tender. Omega hall leads the pack in the third division, and is the only unde feated team, but it’s too early to forecast a winner there. The Ome gans are followed by the SPEs, whose one defeat has Jaeen at the hands of the hallmen. Omega plays two games, with the Fijis, who have won one and lost one, and the winless Sammies. The SPEs play one, also with the Sammies. Anybody’s Race i Division 4 is anybody’s race. There are three undefeated teams, the Betas with two wins, and Gam ma hall and the Canard club with ; BCiAi&s / SMuzes S/vJA^iesf cuRv/e BAL-U -TAgy MAV& SBBM jaJ A aIUm6BR.
