[ DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS i 'Two months ago University of Oregon started a new era of foot bu'l under smiling Tex Oliver, the Pfoi Beta Kappa coach from Ari zona, where last year his Wildcats boomed into prominence by beating ta coast conference team—Oregon— to 6. Now the “first mile” is about lover for Oliver. Spring football is fiimishlng, the big “preview” of Ore gon’s potential 1938 eleven against tine All-Stars is in the past, and fans are wondering just how Tex has taken to the set-up at Oregon. How does he like it ? Just sit hack and relax. Coach Oliver likes lie there, lie is optimistic about Ore gef n’s prospects for a successful campaign next fall, and surveys the last two months as a period of ac complishment. ' | $1 sp K: Line Coach Bill Cole, the volum inous replacement for Gene Shields, also likes it here, and like Coaches Oliver, Mikulak, and Warren is ■popular with the athletes. Cole commented before the big “preview” that filling the tackle posts will probably be his greatest job, but he also said that tempo rary weakness couldn't keep an Oliver team from winning games. Fans looking for a sieve-like var sity line in the All-Star game were rather surprised to watch the Web foot forwards tighten under offen sive attack of the pros, grads, and 'ftilers-in. Until yesterday’s unforgetable S fo I defeat at the hands of Buck 15 iley’s Washington State Cou gars in Pullman it looked like his tory might he repeating itself for Hobby Hobson and his Webfoot baseball team. (Last year it was six wins in seven days and a championship. Monday the do-or-die Weebfoots caught fire again with a 14-hit «iptree, but their war clubs went •Jl1.id again yesterday. Hobby’s hoys can’t lose any more. Losing one of the six road trip /games can’t put Hobby’s scrapping •Ducks completely out of it, al though the odds of another cham Vpionship are slim. ‘The whole race hinges upon Mialpli Coleman’s Oregon State IDavers who take the road for the biding series of six games Oregon finishing. »lf “Coley’s" team makes a sweep it'll l*e their pennant iiecause Ore gvui couldn’t touch them by win uung tin* last two “civil war” /games. However two road losses l*y the Orange, a logical five out oft six by Oregon on the present read trip, and two Oregon wins «ner Oregon State at the season’s «MiJ would cause a first-place tie. there’s still hopes for Hobby Hobson and his never-die Oregon baseliallers. $ Sjt Presses will begin to hum, paper boys will be shouting "YVuxtra!” icd the world's sport pages will >n be agog.

Women's Co-op Gamers Victory In Coed Soitball Hendricks Hall Team Loses Close Game By 2 to 1 Score By EVA ERLANDSON The Women’s co-op defeated Hendricks hall, 2-1, in the tightest game in coed softball played this year. It was a pitchers’ game throughout, with the speedy Hen dricks pitcher, Rusty Tomlinson, against the steady co-op pitcher, Margaret Macdonald. In the first half of the first inn ing Alice Kirkpatrick hit a home run for Hendricks but the losers were unable to bring up the score the rest of the game. Virginia Enokson, Women’s co-op, did a nice job of fielding, catching a long fly to the outfield for the third out, with two on base for Hen dricks.
