DUCK TRACKS ■nnniinniMiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiniiiiininiifiiiimniiiniiiiaM By ELBEIiT HAWKINS The northern division's baseball schedule maker may not realize it but he did University of Oregon a good turn this spring. And woe be unto the invading club which hits Eugene without a four-man pitch ing staff. All three northern clubs, Idaho, Washington State, and Washington play four games within five days against Oregon and Oregon State on their annual swing of the Wil lamette valley, and in each case they'll hit Eugene after first play ing two games against Ralph Cole man's co-champion Oregon Stat ers. The Beavers being champs are apt to find themselves facing Pitchers No. 1 and No. 2 of the op position, which will mean that Hobby Hobson and his Webfoots may have the strategic advantage of being able to hang back and bowl ’em over as they come through, using his top pitchers. Last year it was different. The Ducks were defending champs and they had to meet the touring ene my before Oregon State did. Buck Bailey and his Washington Staters came through last year figuring Oregon was the team to beat and shot the wor ks. Buck beat Oregon —left town still thinking Oregon was the team, to beat and got tripped up by Oregon State. That series ruined Oregon as it later turned out, Hobby’s baseballers losing out by a whisker to the co champions, Oregon State and Washington State, at the season's end. Forrest Twogood’s Idaho Van dals swing through the valley this week, playing Oregon State first and then in Eugene on Friday and Saturday. Which may he Oregon’s first chance to hop on an inade quate pitching staff. Twogood is bringing four pitchers—Earl Greg ory, Merle Stoddard, Harold Jen kins and Ed Kanta—and he told the Emerald last winter that only Gregory and Stoddard are Grade A chuckers. Both Gregory and Stoddard play football at Idaho, too, to earn their way. Gregory, you'll remember de feated the Ducks last year about 2 to 1 with a great twirling per formance. There’s another side to this pitching angle, Hobby Hob son’s own worry, for he’s got to play four games in five days right here. This year’s team to beat, Washington State, comes through Eugene next Monday and Tuesday, so the Oregon pitching staff will have a workout of its own against Idaho and the Cougars. Then lat er comes that northern trip on which Hobby’s nine plays six games in seven days against Washington, Washington State, and Idaho. Here's something which should have embarrassed Oregon's nation al basketball champions if it did n’t. The little three stanza poem was written by Helen Marks, daughter of Willard L. Marks, president of the state board of higher education, just after the team defeated Ohio State. It was read to them in Portland. Most girls have one dream man For whom they'd work and strive.

Last night in Eugene the five regu lars- Laddie Gale, John Dick, Slim Wintermute, Wally Johansen, and Bobby Anet with Coach Howard Hobson, were presented with bill folds from the Salem Elks lodge. William Hammond, former Uni versity student and a ranking offi cer in the lodge, made the pre sentation. Each billfold is engraved with the record of Oregon’s basket ball team for the 1939 season, namely that of capturing the na tion’s first official AAU hoop championship. Go to Portland Saturday the five basketeers will travel to Portland where they’ll be special guests of a lunch eon for the advertising managers group of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association. On the way home they'll stop in Salem where Hammond, an employee for the state auto license division, will show them the new capitol grounds. Eight members of thp squad which traveled East for the cham pionship game with Ohio State, Gale, Dick, Wintermute, Anet, Jo hansen, Ted Sarpola, Earl Sand ncss, and Bob Hardy, have been presented with wrist watches from their home towns. More honors are in store for the Webfoot basket ball champs from sources which haven’t been made public.

Howard Hobson’s now pitching. That’s what Busher Smith, Oregon’s classy first sacker piped up at the start of last night’3 rip-roaring yannigan-regular base hit comedy. And no doubt about it, it was a splendid thought, and great moral support for Hobby (I’m a pitcher now) Hobson. Only trouble was that the yannigan sluggers, a group of fiery youngsters under Manager Bob naruy, juki ianea 10 recognize their coach as a combination of Dizzy Dean, Carl Hubbell, and Red Ruffing. They Round Hobby They hit his offerings all over Howe field, and as it turned out, Coach Hobson needed his outfield ers. Just the same, the yannigans, al though aided by the pitching of Bob Creighton, Bob Hardy, and Jack Jasper, and the catching of Cece Walden, failed by about two Linfield Net Team Beaten By Oregon Coach Washke's Men Nearly Sweep McMinnville Tiff Linfiekl college's tennis squad fell for the second time to the Oregon team yesterday on the home court, 6 to 1.

The next day the Ore gonians move to Pullman for an engagement with Washington State. Last weekend the Cougars lost to Idaho, 4 to 3. Norm Wiener, varsity reserve, made the trip to McMinnville in the place of Captain Les Werscli kul. The Webfoot captain was forced to remain at home because of a pulled muscle in his side.

Today at I o'clock in the YWCA bungalow Peggy Robbins and Mar ian DeKoning will each review a book of their choice at the meeting ot the Book Review club. This meeting is not limited to members '’t the club but is open to the pub ic. runs of beating Hobson, his bat tery mate, Jim Rathbun, and the regulars. At the end of the 7th inning, the score was knotted at 9-all, after the regulars had overcome a 7 to 2 yannigan lead. But in the final frame, the regulars blasted Jack Jasper, last yannigan hurler, to win. Whiffs Pair Coach Hobson, who tells his boys he has plntey of “stuff” on the ball, struck out more than one yannigan, two all told. But if you ask any yannigan player, he will swear the umpire was in Hobby’s pay. Backing up Coach Hobson in the field were Bush Smith at first base, Ford Mullen at second, Elmer Mallory at short, and Wimpy Quinn and Tini Smith at third. Out fileders who chased balls hither and yon for Coach Hobson’s nine were Jim Nicholson, Whizzer White, and Jack S h i m s h a k. Jim Rathbun caught for Hobson. The yannigan lineup was com posed of Bob Smith, first base; Jack Yoshitomi, second base; Tini Smith, shortstop; Herby Hamer, third base; and Tommy Cox, Maury Kelly, Cece Walden, and Kaschko, outfielders. Walden and Kelly di vided catching duties. iwo roomauers Two recruits from the football rnaqs turned out last night, They were Bob Smith, letterman and star halfback, and Joe Manatowa, fireball pitcher from Nebraska. Both will help, according to Hob son, if they can stay out for base ball. Smith was a regular outfield er at the close of last season. Last night’s regulation game was ordered by Coach Hobson in order to give his entire squad a full nine innings of hitting and fielding. Only two more days remain for Coach Hobson to prepare his boys for the invasion of Idaho's Vandals Friday and Saturday, and for the appearance on Howe field Monday and Tuesday of the Washington State college Cougars. UO Athletes II Hold Records Local Sigma Delta Psi Group Out to Defen dHonors Oregon’s Sigma Delta Psi team of 1938 swept to seven national records, yet failed to cop the na tional championship. Lack of indi vidual competition in enough events was Oregon’s weakness. A clean sweep was registered in three events as Tom Starbuck paced his teammates, Pierce Mal lory and Jim Smith, in a record breaking time of 57.2 seconds for the 100-yard swim. Dave Gammon kicked the pigskin for a national lecord of 07 yards, followed by his mates, Steve Anderson and Ted Gebhardt who placed second and third, respectively. Oregon's dusky man. Alack Robinson, led by Bob Kitehard and Ehle Reber gained one, two, three in the broad jump. National records held by Oregon are as follows: 100-yard dash Robinson.

UO Badminton Meet Billed British Columbia Team to Be Here On May 5 Campus badminton will receive a boost when a four-man team from the University of British Co lumbia comes here to play a match with a team representing the Uni versity of Oregon, May 5. As badminton is a comparative ly new sport on the Oregon cam pus, the match with the strong Canadian team will be more of an exhibition than a match this year. Badminton has been a recognized sport on the British Columbia campus for several years. The Canadians will play match es with the University of Washing ton, Oregon State College, Reed college, and the Oswego Country club, on their trip. No definite lineup of Oregon players has been decided upon. All those interested in trying out for the team should report to Gerlin ger gym Thursday, 7:30. Cinder Team Tunes Up for Husky Meet Colonel Bill Directs Attention to Buck, Diez—Sprinters Coach Bill Hayward gave the Webfoot track machine a prepara tory tune-up for the forthcoming University of Washington meet yesterday. The Ducks will journey northward this weekend for the Seattle dual contest. Majority of Colonel Bill's atten tion went to his dash men, Jim Buck and Bob Diez, who will have their hands full when they run against Huskies Art Taylor, Dwight Kipp, and Jack Flagg. Kipp recently ran the 220 in 22.3, while Taylor is a bctter-than-10 seconds man. Weight events will again trouble Hayward's cindermen. Chuck Bechtol, husky Washington shot putter, heaved the shot 47 feet, 11 inches last year. Both Leon Bjork land and Chuck Bell have been throwing the discus over 130 feet in competition this year. Hayward is expecting more of Ehle Rebel- and Bob Mitchell this year. Reber, a sophomore, has been slowly developing and is expected to hit his peak by the coast con ference meet in May. Mitchell was one of Hayward's sophomore stars during the 1938 season, and, with a year’s varsity experience behind him, is expect ed to be one of the conference's top milers. Hayward has nothing but praise for his pole vaulting twins. George Varoff and Rod Hansen. A year ago he was predicting Varoff would go over the 15-foot ceiling. Now he has hopes that not only one. but two pole vaulters from the University of Oregon will clear the 15-foot mark. \ ou Will Enjoy— SUNDAES SODAS MILKSHAKES as we make them Lemon-o Corner 13th and Alder League IV Sig Eps .

Yeomen 8, Fijis 7. With the score tied at five-all it was up to Willie Williams tc knock in the run that put the Yeomen ahead where they stayed for the rest of the game. Willie made three hits and figured in scoring or sending in five of the eight runs. The heavy set one alsc stole three bases on a running splurge in the fourth. The fatal fifth, for the Fijis at least, saw three runs marked up by the independents on one lone hit. Four errors were made by the over-anxious fraternity men.

Final score, 25 to 4. Don Cawley led the 16 - hit assault on Richardson and Jim Ray with two booming home runs. Mar shall Stenstrom and Oliver Hughes each collected a four-bagger and two other hits. Sigma hall was ‘having a hard time getting five hits off the offerings of Bob Engel ke, and their nine errors cost them as many runs as the 16 hits. After a scoreless first, the hall got one and Kappa two. Then the fun began. Sigma hall’s three made in the third were their last but not [ for the Kappa Sigs. They pushed across 12 on a barrage of home runs and an equal number of er rors. Eleven more came in in the final fourth.

By ARNIE MILLSTEIN There’s a certain freshman who carries the pitching assignment for the Campbell Co-op softball team, who in his last game struck out 14 opponents. The boy, Elmer Ol son, not only tied that mark yes terday, but also went on to fan an additional man for a total ot fifteen. Olson started out by fanning nine Fizzeds in the first three inn ings, one in each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth, then wound up the ball game by whiffing the last three men in the seventh. Fizzed Merle Peters spoiled a no-hit game for Olson by pushing out a single for the only hit of the game for the losers. The Campbell Co-op gathered four runs on eight hits which was enough to down the Fizzeds and their one run on the same number of hits. The PE majors hopped on Olson before he settled down and scored their run after two men walked, one of whom scored on a wild pitch. At this point Olson settled down and struck the next three men out not allowing a bingie un til the fifth. The Campbell ten bashed out four hits off Burt Bor oughs before they managed to score two runs in the fifth and sixth. The Fizzeds fielded poorly and were chalked up with six er rors while the Co-op boys backed their pitcher and allowed only one error. Summary: R H E Fizzeds .100 000 0—1 1 6 Campbells .000 022 *—4 8 1 Boroughs and Short; Olson and Burke. Sigma Chi 8, Alpha 5 Led by “Bunny Butler” at the hitting end and by Dick Peters at the chucking end, the Sigma Chi softball outfit downed Alpha hall to the tune of 8-5. Butler sent three doubles sailing over the infield and played a sparkling game at third while Peters held the dorm boys to four hits. Alpha hall took advantage of Pe ters’ wildness at intervals togeth er with some poor fielding and sent four runs scurrying across the plate. Leading the hitting at tack for the conquered was Jules Graff with two for three. The “Sweethearts” led off with two runs while Alpha hall could only retaliate with one. It was smooth sailing until the third when two more were pushed over by the Frosh Track Squad Eyes Rook Meet Rivals Engage in Annual Mix on May 5; Stovel Tutors By KEN CHRISTIANSON Spring term's hard work will come into harvest May 5 in the "little civil war” between the Ore gon and Oregon State freshman track squads.
