(For an active afternoon in
sports, it’s hard to beat today’s
offerings. Nearly every team in
.both varsity and frosh sports is
seeing action. Away-from-home
events include the baseball game
at Moscow, track meet at Corval
lis, and tennis match at Salem. At
(home, the Frosh baseball nine
meets the Rooks and the frosh
go it' team meets Oregon State’s
team.
In face of the warning not to
C0i*nt one’s chickens before they
batch, we venture that it looks
‘like a clean northwest sweep for
the trackmen this spring. Only
Oregon State is left to conquer,
and our fellows will be down in
Corvallis this afternoon to see to
that.
By the way, those track enthu
siasts who are-unable to be at the
meet can listen to it over the ra
dio. It will be broadcast over
KG RE beginning at 2 o’clock.
If there is a repeat on yester
day’s warm weather we may ex
pect real action from Pole-vault
ing George Varoff. So far this
year he has gone only 13 feet 6
inches; but, according to reports,
lie is a warm weather jumper,
loosening up as the sun gets hot
ter. It was a warm day last
spring when he topped 14 feet for
the firs't time in the season.
Baseball outlook is not so prom
ising. Just about a year ago the
varsity team left for its six-game
road trip north. It came back
with the northern division pen
nant, having won all six games.
This year the team must take ev
ery game on the road trip to stay
in. the running for the pennant.
Oregon spectators at a baseball
gri.i.ne defy all descriptions of how
American watchers of the horse
hide pastime are supposed to act.
According to all the best stories,
movies, and cartoons excited spec
tators jump up and down on each
‘other's feet and bash in straw
hats in tense moments of play. All
spectators, according to this des
cription. are loud and persistent
in their demands for hits, runs, or
the ousting of the umpire.
We strongly suspect that this
traditional description is applica
ble in most eases. Indeed, your
writer recalls her earliest introduc
tion to the game at the age of 6
or 7 in a tiny community in a more
remote part of Oregon. When our
community team played ball with
ne ghboring settlements on a Sun
day afternoon, the whole valley re
'sounded with the cries of enthu
siastic supporters. Men nearly
came to blows and women sup
porting- different teams didn’t
.speak for months because of what
■ they said to each other in the
^grandstand.
* Not so at Oregon. Spectators
lie e rival the traditional English
jeatm iti watching games. The only
-te ve they jump to their feet is
between innings for a bit of a
stretch, and their loudest cry is a
prolonged "oooh” when a batter
(of either team) swats one espe
cially hard.
Even at the season’s opening
gome here the near - capacity
crowd clapped equally enthusias
tically for all good plays regardless
cf which team made them,

cause of a flip of a coin. Limited

Varsity Golf
Flayers Beat
Puget Sound
Cook Is Medalist;
Play Oregon State
Match Here Today
Oregon golfers marched one step
forward toward the northwest
championship yesterday when they
trounced the College of Puget
Sound 20 to 2 on the Eugene coun
try club golf course.
Ben Hughes was medalist in the
doubles matches with a 70, and
Louis Cook was medalist in the
single matches with a 73. Coach
Captain Walt Cline was the only
Oregon man not taking his oppo
nent. He played Stoeffel, who was
two under par on the second side
to break even.
This is the second time this year
the Webfoot golfers have been vic
tors over the Loggers. The last
match with the squad was taken in
Tacoma with a 20 V* to 6 Vs> count.
Today the squad meets Oregon
State’s varsity <\\ the Country
club course. If Oregon wins the
match they will be in running for
the northwest championship.
Next Saturday a four-man squad
will play in a tournament of all
northwest teams at Moscow, Idaho.
Walt Cline, Doc Near, Will Wat
son, and either Ben Hughes or
Kirk Eldridge will probably make
the trip.

Dual Meet Records
May Be Broken at
Oregon-OSC Race
I
Seven Oregon-Oregon State dual meet records will be in dangei
today when Webfoot and Beaver trackmen clash at Corvallis.
Events in which records may tumble before the assault of riva
cindermen are the 100-yard dash, 880-yard run, 220-yard low hurdles
discus, broa jump, and mile relay.
The all-time mark for the century is 9.8 seconds, and Oregon’!
cyclone Mack Robinson has clipped two-tenths of a second off this tim<
in meets at Eugene tms season.
Half-Mile Record Threatened
If the Oregon State track is in
top condition, there is also a possi
bility of the half-mile record being
topped. Kirman Storli has run the
880 in 1:55 and Dave Lewis and
Jimmy Schriver have not been far
off the pace. The record is 1:56.2.
As for the discus, Captain Len
Holland of Oregon has been hit
ting around 147 feet all season, and
should he be able to flip it out
another three feet this afternoon
he would eclipse the mark of 150
feet 6 inches set by Oregon’s Bob
Moeller in 1930.
Both jumps will be centers of
interest with Broad-jumper Rob
inson of Oregon and High-jumper
Benny DeFresne of Oregon State
competing. Robinson broke all
existing northern division marks
Many Applications
Received for Jobs
Several hundred applications for
vacation work have been received
at the University employment of
fice this spring.
Chief demand for summer work
ers is in unskilled rather than
skilled labor. In Eugene, the can
nery offers the best opportunity
for seasonal work for residents.
Resort owners at the coast have
not yet reported their needs for the
summer but unsettled conditions
in Europe are expected to increase
coast tourist trade.

Robinson may also menace th<
low hurdle mark of 24.4, bu
Colonel Bill Hayward, Webfoo
coach, does not depend on this be
cause the hurdles will be around i
curve and not on a straightaway
as on Hayward field.
