Bobby Coltrin, New York Yan
kee scout, was in town yesterday
for a brief peek at Coach Hobby
Hobson’s varsity baseball players
before they entrainbd for the In
land Empire,
Several Webfoots, including
Wimpy Quinn and Bob Hardy
were mentioned as “possibilities.”
Hardy, Oregon No. 1 southpaw
pitcher, was singled out especially
by Coltrin, who says the Yanks
like their boys big and rangy.
Eeffty “Goofy” Gomez, present
Yankee hurling prize, is an ex
ception.
Oregon’s lanky portsider isn’t
only Coltrin’s choice as a profes
sional baseball prospect. Two oth
er scouts, Justin Fitzgerald, De
troit Tigers, and Ernie Johnson,
Boston Keil Sox, both said he
might be a comer with more sea
soning.
Fitzgerald, who played in the
Yank outfield about two decades
ago, stopped here last spring on
liia way to scout the new Western
International league and said Har
dy had a “natural” curve.
Scout Coltrin, w'ho covers the
coast area like a blanket, doesn’t
confine his scouting merely to col
lege talent, he squints at out
standing preppers, too.
With Bruce Hamby, University
sports publicity putter-outer, he
drove out yesterday to look over
Pleasant Hill’s Red Mauney, who
.■almost makes a habit of pitching
no hitters in his own class. Coltrin
, figures Mauney “not ready.”
j The Yankee scout himself was
a fair country ball player, working
\a i.i h the Portland Beavers for a
retch from about 1905 to 1911.
it’ll be a make or break for
Mibby Hobson and his Webt'oot
baseball team who open a six
games in seven days road trip to
day in Moscow against the Idaho
. Vandals.
, Oregon plays Washington State
Monday and Tuesday, and
Winds up the trip on Wednesday
aunal Thursday against Washing
ton.
Coach Hobson is taking only
four pitchers—Hob Creighton, Boh
Hardy, John Linde, and LeRoy
Mattingly. He doesn’t know just
when each will work on the mound
though, but will ponder the pitch
ing order on the train ride north,
vscd against Idaho they’ll .each
gW to work again next week, oth
aiul Linde against the Vandals
who admit they can’t hit south
paw pitching.
Coach Hobson hates to work a
pitcher oftener than five days, so
vi 'n’t;, use the same man twice
xievxt week. All four may work in
'Thursday's finals against Wash
ington, according to Hobson.

more than 27 points against Ore

Theta Chis Win Loop Title; DUs Have Single
Game Left; Kappa Sigs Down Zeta Hall;
Sigma Chis Tie With Pi Kaps
By BILL HELPS
It looks ^ready like it will be Wally McKenzie of Theta Chi against
Bill Jones of Delta Upsilon in the intramural softball finals.
Bill Jones entered the hall of fame along with McKenzie as he
pitched the DUs to a 13 to 0 victory over Phi Delta Theta yesterday.
The win knocked the barnmen out of first place in the division loop,
and kept the DU record spotless.
In winning the game, Jones fanned 10 and allowed only two men
to get on base, one on an error in
the third and the other on a walk
in the fifth.
The DUs put two hits, two walks
and an error together for three
runs in the first, and added another
in the second. Guy Benson held the
DUs scoreless for the next
two innings, but they belted him
off the mound in a wild fifth inn
ing.
Bill Jones opened with a double,
and Bill Zimmerman walked. Jim
Timmins hit to fill the bases, and
Willard Mclnturff came through
with a triple. John Weber scored
Mclnturf with a hit, but Connie
Grabb grounded out for the first
out. A1 Shaw grounded down the
third base line, Weber was out
trying to score.
Dave Silven walked, as did
Dwight Nott. At this point, Jack
Blanchard replaced Benson as hur
1 ler for the Phi Delts. He promptly
walked Bob Morris to send in a
run, and did the same for Bill
Jones, up for the second time that
inning. Zimmerman singled to
score Nott and Morris, and Tim
mins came through to send Jones
in with a single. Mclnturff ended
the inning, grounding out.
At the plate, the DUs were led
by Timmis, who got two for two,
and Weber, who hit three for four.
Jones and Silven each got two hits
in three trips.
Summary: R H E
DU . 13 . 9 1
Phi Delts . 0 0 2
Jones and Grabb: Benson, Blan
chard and Stafford.
Sigma Chis 7, Pi Kaps 7
Sigma Chi went on a seven-run
splurge in the last inning yester
day to come from behind and tie
the game that Pi Kappa Alpha had
virtually in the bag yesterday.
The Pi Kaps reached Pat Dolan
for a pair of runs in the first, and
added another pair in the second to
go into a four-run lead. Meanwhile
Jim Webb was allowing the Sweet
hearts only one hit. while fanning
seven in three innings.
In the fourth, the Pi Kaps scored
three more counters to put the
game on ice—almost. The Sweet
hearts didn’t seem to realize the
fact, and coupled three hits with
four Pi Kap errors to tie the game
all up, and there it stayed. There
wasn’t time to break the tie.
The game leaves the Pi Kaps and
Sweethearts tied for fourth place
in the division race's final stand
ings.

Varsity Golfers
Use Reserves in
Kings-X Match
Oregon’s golfing reserves will
help the crack varsity golf squad
today in a return match with Col
lege of Puget Sound on the Eugene
Country club course, as Coach-Cap
tain Walt Cline conserves the full
power of his Webfoot crew for a
stiff fight against Oregon State
tomorrow.
Victors once this year in Tacoma
over the Loggers 20y2 to 6 V2, the
Webfoots will take a chance on re
peating that win today with the
aid of the reserves, then throw
their whole golfing strength
against the Beavers here tomorrow.
Oregon has more at stake in the
Bes'iver match, with a defeat at
Corvallis by the Beavers last year
to settle. Next Saturday the Web
foots wind up their match play sea
son with a return trip to Corvallis
against Oregon State.
The Tacoma Loggers bring only
five men today, so a total of 22^
points will be the stakes in the 36
hole round, instead of the usual
27 points.
CPS lineups have not been an
nounced, but their team probably
will be composed of five of the fol
lowing: Stoeffel, Stewn, Johnson,
Fisher, Schwetz, and Rarhsey.
Playing for Oregon in the morn
ing best-ball foursomes will be Doc
Near and Kirk Eldridge; Ben
Hughes and Shelby Golden; and
Bob Speer. Singles matches will

Bob Speer, Lou Cook, and Rich
Werschkul.
