Take a good look at Oregon's
varsity infield today as it cavorts
on Howe field diamond against
Portland university, for Coach
Hobby Hobson rates it in the ranks
of this school's all-time greats. We
mean the combination of Wimpy
Quinn, third; Elmer Mallory, short;
Ford Mullen, second, and Busher
Smith, first.
How good is it? Well, Hobby
calls it “one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, infields this school
ever had.” Oregon has turned out
its Joe Gordon and Ray Kochs too,
but the Webfoot coach ranks his
Quinn, Mallory, Mullen, Smith
quartet on the basis of its all
around balance and power as a
unit.
Here's why they rate:
Gale Smith ... all conference
first baseman as a sophomore . . .
now playing his third year of var
sity ball, is one of the team’s lead
ing hitters—besides being a top
notch fielder.
Ford' Mullen, second sackcr . . .
the coaches’ ball player, all-con
ference at third as a sophomore,
rated by baseball men as even bet
ter at the keystone position ... a
batter, too.
Wimpy Quinn, junior, third base
man . . . owner of the rifle-like
arm . . . Wimp hit homers, etc.
with monotonous regularity last
spring . . . rated a major league
prospect . . . nuff said.
Elmer Mallory, sophomore short
stop . . . he’s a rookie on the
squad, but plays like a senior . . .
• one of Hobby’s smoothest boys,
■ mechanically, Elmer has proven
I himself in semi-pro ball.
And there you have it. If there’s
: a better infield iri the northern di
vision, let’s hear about it.
“Other coaches think they have
- problems, but they don’t know
I* what I have,” voices Colonel Bill
Hayward, who has coached 35 pre
vious Oregon track teams. Thirty
five seasons should be enough to
! make any coach numb to the mere
consequence of having good or bad
„ material, but the grizzled Oregon
2 veteran is worrying as though his
whole coaching career depended
I on it.
True, his track budget lias been
pruned to less than a third of its
former self, but even that deartli
- of funds isn't bothering Colonel
2, Bill too much, he just takes that
- for granted. His problem central
izes right on this campus. If Bill
• Hayward had every capable track
man in school, known or unknown,
in suit right now he believes the
Oregon cinder squad would worry
any of ’em in the Northwest.
Bill bemoans the weakness of
_ weight men on his squad. There
are enough on the football squad
right now to fix him up in grand
style, but it’s one or the other, and
track suffers. The veteran trainer
of athletes can’t induce unknowns
on the campus to turn out because
• there’s no place to start finding
them, yet lie's sure ttie school lias
hidden talent. Ken Shipley wasn't
“discovered” until late last season
when he showed the railbirds some
record high jumping in Sigma Del
ta Psi. He was induced to turn out
and won points for Bill after that.
Colonel Bill isn't throwing in the
towel at that, because lie’s still got

It will be up to Jack Jasper, the Sunshine Kid himself, to lift

Eugene High Meets
Team Saturday in
Return Battle
Fresh from their initial victory,
the Duckling baseball nine held an
intensive workout yesterday, spe
cial stress being made on fielding
by John Warren, Although the
Ducklings found their hitting eyes
against Eugene garnering 10 hits,
their fielding was ragged through
out the contest.
The Lincoln high game original
ly scheduled for Friday has been
changed to a later date. Eugene
high will meet the frosh in a re
turn contest Saturday afternoon.
Particularly pleasing in the Eu
gene game was the work of the
outer garden. Bill Carney, Dick
Whitman, and Nick Zannos are
dangerous with the stick at all
times, Carney has been having
Double in “hitting ’em where they
ain't.” Although he has been con
necting solidly with the ball it
has always been into the hands of
an opposing fielder.
Leland' Dragoo proved his met
tle under fire, stopping the Axe
men cold. The chunky hurler held
Eugene to one hit in three innings.
Walt Gale, Walla Walla lad,
pitched good ball, but erratic sup
port let in five runs.
Nick Zannos and Bob Adrian
have been dividing the backstop
duties this season. Zannos plays in
the outfield when he is not catch
ing, displaying equal ability in both
positions.
The diminutive keystone com
bination of “Whitey” Austin and
Aurelhian Carrilho has been func
tioning smoothly thus far. Both of
these lads have fast and accurate
pegs and play well together. Both
players are well up in the top rung
of frosh hitters.
Improvement in fielding is the
big task ahead of the frosh. In two
games opposing teams have scored
J2 runs against them. Six runs
were scored on errors. The infield
had a stiff workout yesterday and
showed considerable improvement.

Jack," who came here with high
recommendations, will be making
his debut before home fans. A1
Linn and Pete Igoe will back him
up.
Either Cece Walden or Dwight
Moore will catch, Coach Hobson
said yesterday.
Split Four Tilts
The Ducks have split four games
with Pacific thus far this spring,
and today tee off on the first of
three games in three days. Friday
the Webfoots take to the road,
meeting Oregon Normal at Mon
mouth, and Saturday they go to
Portland to play a return game
with the Pilots.
Last year the Ducks and Pilots
divided a two-game series, Oregon
winning at Howe field when Bob
Creighton lofted a long home run
in the ninth inning, and the Pilots
triumphing at Portland.
Coach Hobson, in his first week
at the helm of the diamond stars,
has his infield well settled, but his
outfield is still a problem.
Great Infield
The Bush Smith, Ford Mullen,
Elmer Mallory, and Wimp Quinn
unit is being compared with the
great infield of Oregon's champ
ionship seasons of 1934 and ’35—
the combination that had Harry
McCall at first, Hay Koch at sec
ond, Joe Gordon at short, and
Johnny Lewis at third.
The outfield is a puzzle, how
ever. Coach Hobson said yesterday
that Jimmy Nicholson and Tommy
Cox, two fleet lettermen fly
chasers, have the edge at present,
but indicated that he has a host
of “rookies” battling for spots.
Cox and Nicholson will probably
open in left and center field, re
spectively. Coach Hobson will
choose his right fielder from a
list which includes John Yerby,
letterman; Herby Hamer, hard
hitting first baseman; Jack Shim
shak, scampering second sacker
who hit hard in the second Pacific
game; Whizzer White, Jack Yoshi
tomi, Frank Lukowski, Lloyd
Beggs, Bill Feasley, Matt Fava
lunas, Tini Smith, and Red Mc
Neeley.
To Face O’Donnell
Father James Lane, Pilot men
tor, said Tuesday that he would
send Wild Hill O’Donnell, basket
ball star, to the mound in today’s
encounter. It was O'Donnell who
hooked up with Creighton in the
Eugene deal last spring. In re
serve will be Lou Garfield, veteran
who nicked the Ducks last year;
Bill Nicholson, and Jim Carlin.
Carlin is the hurler who tri
umphed over Oregon’s speedball
king of two years ago, Hill (Chict
Sayles in a game played in rain
and mud two ears ago at Portland.
Shortly afterwards, Carlin's arm
went dead, just when scouts were
flocking to watch him work. He
laid out last year, and has hopes
of coming back this spring.
Standing out in pre-conference
so far for the Ducks has been the
work of Bob Creighton, who has
registered Oregon's only two wins.
Creighton will probably take the
mound against the Pilots Saturday.
Oregon's hitting has been weak
in the past four games, the runs
coming faster than the hits. Con
sistent whacking by Big Bush
Smith, Jack Shimshak. and Tini
Smith, and the long-distance hit
ting of Wimpy Quinn featured the
four games with Pacific, and the
Duck elouters fully expect to "turn
on the power" against the Pilots.

Enters Semi-Finals
By PA'tJL McCARTY
Phi Kappa P.si, Yeomen, Kappa Sigma, and the winner of a meet
not yet held, enter the semifinals today in intramural swimming.
In the three intramural swimming meets yesterday. Phi Kappa

Gamma Delta, 36 to 13; and Yeomen won from Sigma Epsilon, 22 to 12.
Only four of the six swimming events in the SPE-Yeoman meet
were run off, as Sigma Phi Ep

vidual medley and 120-yard free

Darkhorse Winner?
Since none of the living organ

bracket of the intramural league
are among the leaders of intra
mural swimming, a "dark horse"
team, winner of this term’s soon
to-be-decided championship, will
jump to the front along with Al

Hansen to Pole Vault
In Seattle Meet
Duck Athlete Makes
Trip Unattached;
Team Stays Home
Rodney Hansen, letterman pole
vauiter, will he Oregon's only rep
resentative at the indoor meet to
be held at Seattle Friday. The
dark haired athlete will not be
sent on school money but will pay
his own expenses.
According to Bill Hayward, no
finances were budgeted for the
University of Washington indoor,
meet which will be held in the pa
villion in Seattle.
Hansen was vaulting 011 a par!
yesterday with George Varoff,
number one man in the pole vault
event. Both missed at 14 feet.
Hayward still has no men in the
weight event and this deficiency
is partly due to the fact that Uni
versity students are not aware of
the track team, and hence many
prospects are lost through ignor
ance.
"Just the other day," he said, "a
young fellow came out and prac
ticed a few jumps. I asked him if
he was out for track and he said
no said he didn’t even know there
was a track team. What was he
jumping at? Six feet! And a
freshman, too!

Through hard hitting and fire
ball pitching, Zeta's softball team
stands first in the interdorm
league. Runner’s-up for last year’s
championship, they now promise
to be the team to beat.
Interdorm league games started
a week ago Tuesday with Omega
defeating Sherry Ross by a score
of 6 to 5, and Zeta taking a for
fiet from Sigma hall. The batter
ies in the first game were Deiz
and McCarthy for Sherry Ross,
and Dunckel and Olmstead for
Omega.
Gamma hall slugged her way to
victory last Thursday by flooring
Alpha hall by a score of 21 to 4.
While this game was going on
there was another battle going on
between the sluggers of Omega
and Sigma hall. Omega finally
won out by a score of 17 to 7. The
batteries for the games were Nich
olas and Loeffler for Gamma, Ny
len and Endicott for Alpha, Grant
and Levy for Sigma, and Olmstead
and Dunckel for Omega.
Saturday proved to be no April
fool’s day for Zeta hall when they
defeated Gamma hall in a pitch
ers’ duel by a score of 2 to 1. The
other game played was a batters’
paradise for Sherry Ross when
they blasted out Alpha hall by a
score of 21 to 2.
Alpha won their first game
Tuesday by trouncing Sigma hall.
Both teams made many errors, but
Alpha proved to be the stronger
team.
The first shutout of the season
came to Pitcher Amato of the Zeta
hall when he successfully stopped
Omega hall from crossing home
plate. The heavy hitting of liis
teammates gave Zeta an 11 to 0
victory. Batteries were Amato and
Dalrymple for Zeta, and Dunckel
and Olmstead for Omega.
Thursday games — Sherry Ross
vs. Gamma hall, and Alpha hall vs.
Omega hall.

The religion of the thoughtful

Results are more important than

this by pointing out that the first

This religion is certified by
ethical consequences rather than
abstract thinking. Dr. Ballard said.
It is not contrary to reason even

This conception means that one

devotion to God is measured, said
Dr. Ballard, by the degree to which

The religion of Jesus makes
