DUCK TRACKS ■■■Dinni&ininiiiiiinniiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinaiini By ELBERT HAWKINS Idaho’s Vandals lioast of some thing new and guaranteed original in pre-season baseball training. It’s purely a local angle, however, and will probably never l>e used by elubs except at Moscow or points north. University of Idaho was hit by several weeks of cold winds and snow this spring, but it didn’t stop Coach Twogood. Says Twogic, “wc practiced for three days with bon fires on both ends of the bench . . . and they were big ones, too.” The Vandals got six games played in three days against Whit man college, and then they went a full month before having a chance to play four more with the Missionaries in a couple of days. All of which played hob with Idaho’s pitching staff although it chalked up six victories. Forrest Twogood is after a win in today’s game against the Web foots and he’s going to send his ace, Earl Gregory, to the hillock. He pitched Gregory against Ore gon State Wednesday in the first game of Idaho’s valley tour and says the Potlatch veteran should have won it. Gregory had an 11 to 8 lead when the Staters started running the bases and he finally left the game after 14 runs had tallied, only two of ’em earned. Said Coach Twogood, “anytime you get 14 runs for Gregory and he can't win, there’s something wrong.” Twogood termed that 23 to 14 loss at Corvallis “a nightmare, piti ful.” Furthermore, he says, r> 0 runs would have scored had not the Beaver athletic officials erect ed a board fence in the outfield in compliance with conference rules. The Vandals were bothered (as were Oregon’s Webfoots and the Orangemen, too) by a towering mound on the Corvallis diamond which reminds one of Skinner’s butte. Infielders can’t judge the speed of batted grounders which loll out over the hill at them. Interesting note about Idaho’s No. 1 pitcher, Gregory. He had never pitched a game in his life before he enrolled at Idaho, and had worked only Ihree or four var Nily games before he beat Oregon, 51 to 1, here last year. Wliieli totals a lifetime pitching' record of only a dozen or so games, according to < ’each Twogood. To Oregon’s "million dollar in field”—Twogie thinks you're a great combination. And ho says it was “one helluva play, that one of Mallory’s" when the Webfoot shortstop moved clear over behind second base to pick up one ground er. Elmer, incidentally, had a great day, engineering one double play, and hitting two doubles out of four times at bat to drive in three of Oregon’s six runs. Of Southpaw Bob Hardy, who held Idaho to only three hits yes terday, Twogood, a real baseball man himself and former big league, pitcher, had praise. “Bob pitched nice ball today . . . lie's nice and last . . . and an improved pitcher.” Said Pitcher Bob about his beauti tul mound performance, “The wind hcijied me.” *!•' »!*• :lt University of Idaho uses abso lutely no scholarship money for in ducing baseball players to play under Twogood at Moscow, but at least six of the Vandals are out of staters, and four of 'em are from miles away. Tony Knap, the foot baller who was carried off Hay ward field last fall with a spinal concussion, is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With him is Joe Spi cuzza, another gridman. Al Cohan, sophomore utility man, hails from Brooklyn, New York, and Maurice Young comes from Defiance, Penn sylvania. University of Oregon tos ser coming from the longest dis tance to play is Reserve Frank Dukowski, a Joliet, Illinois boy. All of the other Webfoot boys are from the Pacific coast. Biggest problem in Inivcrsity ol Idaho’s athletic camp is that (> foot h inch boy you'll see playing first base this afternoon, Otis llilton. The. bean-pole Vandal sophomore needs at least a 11'^ shoe lor loot hall, basketball, or baseball and causes many unhappy moments for dames ffunlliaeli, athletic eipnp ment custodian at the Idaho uisti tut ion, when he turns out.

The li-foot-8 Arkansas hoy never played baseball before this year, byt Coach Twogood promises to muke a real first sucker out of him before tiie season is oyer. Oregon Baseballers Defeat Idaho Vandal Club, 6 to 0 Pitcher Bob Hardy Yields Only Three Hits Second Northern Division Battle Slated For This Afternoon at 3 o'Clock; Gregory Is Coach Twogood's Pitching Choice By ELBERT HAWKINS Using- a booming curveball and a bewildering change of pace for artillery, lanky Bob Hardy shut out Idaho’s Vandals on Howe field yesterday afternoon, 6 to 0, with a three-hit pitching performance. They play again this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Pitch Ollie had the Idaho swingers at his mercy, whiffing nine with an assortment of “stuff,” the likes of which the portly left hander’s mates claim they’d never seen him serve up.

The Webfoot south paw set Oregon State down with a four-hit, one-run hurling job last Saturday. Get Nine Hits Coach Hobby Hobson’s wrecking crew touched Idaho's southpaw pitcher, Whitey Jenkins, for nine hits and six runs during the seven innings he was on the mound. Don Metke blanked the Ducks one-two three in the eighth. Only one Vandal got past first base, and that was First Baseman Otis Hilton, who worked Hardy for a walk in the eighth inning with Idaho trailing hopelessly, 6 to 0. Catcher Cece Walden overthrew first base trying to nail Hilton and he got to second with no men out only to die there when Ollie whiffed the next two Vandals and got a third on an easy roller. Only five other Idaho clubbers even got to first base, and Hardy walked one of them. Others Get Life Third Baseman Captain Harold Atkins drew a free ticket to base in the second inning, but he was forced at second base by Joe Spi cuzza who died on base when the Webfoot hurler whiffed two Van dals who followed him. Clean-up Hitter Atkins drove a hard single through the box for Idaho’s first hit off Hardy in the fourth inning. Whitey Price, Ida ho's hustling catcher, got a single between first and second bases in the fifth but he too died there. Second Baseman Roy Ramey got Idaho’s third and final single off Hardy in the sixth inning on a towering fly into right field which the wind played tricks with. He was wiped out on the next play when Wayne West hit into a dou ble play, Elmer Mallory to Ford Mullen to Gale Smith. Lead Early The Webfoots grabbed a 2 to 0 advantage in the last half of the first inning on doubles by Short stop Elmer Mallory and Third Baseman Wimpy Quinn, a single, a walk, and an error. The score remained at 2 to 0 until the seventh inning, with Hardy and Southpaw Jenkins hooking up in a smooth mound duel. Oregon finished the game’s scoring in that frame with a big four-run splurge on hits by Jack Shimshak, Mallory. Busher Smith, and Quinn. A Vandal error con tributed. The Oregon pitcher final ly ended the big inning by hitting into a double play at shortstop, the Idaho fielder doubling Smith off second base. Wimp Quinn led Oregon’s hit ting with three of the nine hits col lected off Jenkins. He got a double off the fence in left field (which later blew down) in the first inn ing and added a pair of singles later. Elmer Mallory, the smooth working shortstop, got two doubles in four trips up and drove in three Oregon runs. Twogood plans to send his ace pitcher, Earl Gregory who beat the Ducks last year, to the mound today to end Idaho’s road trip into Oregon which has yielded three consecutive defeats at the hands of Oregon and Oregon State.

Frosh Nine Travels to Milwaukie Warren's Sluggers After Eighth Win of Current Season By JACK LEE Honest John Warren and hit; slugging frosh batsmen will en gage the Milwaukie Maroon's on the latter’s diamond this afternoon. The frosh have won seven of their last nine contests, and will be pointing for victory No. 8 today. Warren lias not announced hip traveling squad which will leave i for Milwaukie at 9 o’clock. Leland Dragoo is expected to open on the mound for the frosh. with Walt Gale slated for relief duty. In his last start Dragoo set down Grant high, 10 to 4. Austin to Catch Whitey Austin will again take over the catching duties. Austin by virtue of his three hits against the army is batting in the charmed .400 circle. The infield will be composed of Jim Goodhew, Hill Skade, Lee Car rilho, and Kenny King. Goodhew found his batting eye against the army connecting' solidly for two sharp blows. Although King and Skade are not high up in the list of batters, these two lads have fielded flawlessly in the last two games. Outfield Set The regular outfield of Adrian. Carney, and Whitman will open against the Maroons. Carney and Whitman have both been eyed by major league scouts and are haul ing the Duckling lut parade along with Lee Carrilho and Whitey Aus tin. Since switching to the outfield from catcher. Adrian's hitting has! improved considerably. Phenomenal hitting power has been the feature of the Duckling nine thus far this season. Austin, Whitman, Carney, and Carrilho form the murderers row. with each man hitting over .100. These four lads form the bulwark of the frosh hitting. In nine games Duckling batsmen have amassed r total of 101) hits. Librarian to Talk Miss Ethel Sawyer of the library browsing room discussed “Stu dents, Kooks, and the Browsing Room” and "Why Students Don’t Read More Hooks?" on the Uni versity program last night at 7:tilt over KOAC. Homer H. Hanna, instructor in speech, interviewed Miss Sawyer. Water Poloists To Meet SAEs Two All-Star Teams Chosen for Duck Splashes, May 2-3 Two all-star opponents water polo teams to meet the champion SAEs in the forthcoming Duck Splashes May 2 and 3 have been chosen by Roland Dickie, intra mural student head, and Paul Mc Carty, Emerald sports writer. A pair of Betas, Jim Reed and Nick Dallas, and the Phi Delt scor ing sensation, Ted Holmes, aref forwards on the first team. Guards are Jack Dallas, Beta, and Sherm Wetmore, Beta. Bob McAuliffe, Kappa Sig, anil Rod Lewman, Phi Delt, are back and goalie, respec tively. Forwards on the second team are Johnny Boone, ATO, and Jim Greene, Zeta hall. Jim Carney, Sig ma Nu, and Jack Blanchard, Phi Delt, are guards, while Bill Fugit, ATO, and Wentworth Bowman, Beta, are the back and goalie. These teams are not official in tramural teams, Dickie and Mc Carty assure those that did not get chosen, but are merely two teams that were picked to furn ish opposition for the SAE champs. Duck Team Has Chance To Win Meet Injuries Hinder Rivals on Eve of Seattle Affair By DOUG PARKER An 18-man Oregon cinder squad meets the University of Washing ton at Seattle this afternoon, and, unless the pre-meet dope bucket is overturned, both teams should end up with nearly similar scores. According to Seattle reports the Ducks are favored to win; and ac cording to Eugene reports the Hus kies are favorites. Coach Bill Hay ward of Orgeon is pessimistic about his chances and Coach Hec Edmundson claims his squad will be severely crippled with injuries. Washington’s track aggrega tion took severe drubbings from the University of California and Stanford earlier in the season, while Oregon was nosed out by Oergon State recently in a relay carnival. Jim Buck Out Loss of Jim Buck, ace Webfoot sprinter, will weaken the Oregon squad considerably in the sprints and the mile relay. Edmundson has announced that Captain Jack Flagg, quarter-miler and 220 man; Ken Wright, pole vaulter; Bob Taylor, sprinter; Tom Barrett, high jumper; and Jimmy McGoldrick, hurdler, may be on the sidelines because of injuries. Dean Mc Adams and Dick Northcraft, jave lin tossers, are on the ineligible list and will be lost to Edmund son indefinitely. Oregon's Boyd Brown is assured a first place in the pole vault and is almost certain to officially crack the northern division javelin rec ord of 220 feet, 7% inches, held by Oregon’s Bob Parke on Hayward field four years ago. An extra long heave by Brown might easily shatter the unofficial American record of approximately 234 feet, set by Bob Peoples of USC last month. To Win Polo Vault First and second place points in the pole vault should be sceure for Oregon since Bill Hayward's George Varoff and Rod Hansen have had no equal in the confer ence so far. Edmundson’s athletes have as yet not cleared the 13 foot mark. Another first should be garnered for the Duck squad by Half-miler Kirman Storli. Iron-man Storli may pull through for a first in the 440, too, although Washington’s Montgomery was regarded last spring as one of the best 440-yard men on the coast. Don Barker, loose-limbed Duck two-miler, is expected to finish first in the long distance grind, trailed closely by his teammate Bob Mitchell.

Busher Smith Picks Baseball for Career By BUCK BUCHWACH Thought I’d better interview Busher Smith before he went up to the big leagues. There’s no doubt that Busher is a great prospect, for he's been about tops in the conference at first base for two years now, and is practically a cinch for all-conference honors. Gale (only the registrar and his folks call him that) started playing first base in his freshman year and has been at the initial sack since. He thinks that this will be his greatest year. "I don't think that college pitch ing is so tough ” stated Busher when asked why he had such a high hitting average. His batting percentage backs him up, for his average to date is around .440, which in sand-lot language “ain't hay.’’ Wants to Go Up As for playing professional base ball, that is Gale’s ambition. “I’d even be a bat boy, or maybe a pen cil sharpener for the Yankee score keeper, just to be in the big leagues,” he exclaimed. However he’d much rather take aging Lou Gehrig’s place in the world cham pion Yankee lineup. “Every boy on our team has a professional future,” thinks Bush er. He declares that the present infield is the best he’s ever seen. (Not conceited either, he says!) He $ncks Ford Mullen, captain, as one of the best all-around play ers on the squad. Ford just doesn’t get enough credit,” he emphatic ally asserted. “I thought so when I first came here, and I still believe it.” From Grant High Busher came here from Grant high of Portland, having started to play baseball in his junior year there. The well-built first baseman has brown, curly hair, and hazel eyes that are continuously twinkling at everyone in a good-natured way. If personality means anything as an aid in getting to the big leagues, Busher is sure to be {here in a year or two. A good-natured smile spread all over his face when the subject of Stovel Puts Baby Ducks Through Track Paces With a weather eye to the freshman relays with Oregon State May 5, George Stovel, yearling track mentor, is sending his run ners through light workouts, day. Baton-passing has also been stressed. Five events are to be run, namely—440-yard relay, 880-yard relay, mile relay, three-mile relay, and medley relay. Ray Dickson, Wes Steele, Dave Scroggin, Carlo Apa, or Dutch Schultz will team in the 440 and 880-yard relays. Boyd Lee, Wes Steele, A1 Toole, and Martin Luther are slated to carry the baton in the mile relay. Ed Storli, Ed Reiner, Sam Cox, Bill Ross, or Ray Kleinfeldt will try for a tape-break in the three mile. In the medley relay, Bob Olsen, Sam Cox, Bill Ross, Bill Johns, and Ed Reiner are battling for places. for valuable second or third-place points. Here are the Duck track hopes, simple and sweet: Brown and Hyde in the javelin to take six points; Varoff and Hansen to take eight points in the pole vault; Storli and Schriver to take a total of 12 points in the 880 and 440; Reber to take between three and five points in the broad jump; Dodd and Wes ton to take 10 points in the hurdles: Emmons and Samuelson to take seven points in the shot and discus; Hansen and Shipley to take four points in the high jump; Diez to take eight points in the sprints; and then Oregon’s relay team to come through for a final five points. Score, 73-58, Oregon. Music Drama (Continued from page one) ribbon of moonlight over the pur ple moor . . . And the highwayman came riding up to the old inn door." To words such as these Deems Taylor, New York critic and radio commentator, has written superb ly expressive music. Though he be-1 gan as a journalist, it was as a! musician that Deems Taylor gained money and fame. Marian Hagg will accompany the I group at the piano. There will be the new collegian sport, eating goldfish, was mentioned. A Great Racket “It's a great racket to get pub licity,’’ he smilingly suggested. Busher named Schwab, Oregon State second baseman, as the out standing opponent he has seen this season. As for the outstanding teams in the big leagues, Cincin nati is his choice in the National, and, wonder of wonders, he does not pick the New York Yanks to win the American league pennant. Instead he named Cleveland to cop the gonfalon. His parting thrust, he explained, was for the benefit of Bob Hardy. “Women and baseball don’t mix,” Busher laughingly declared.
