DUCK TRACKS ■■nninininniniiininniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiDioiiB By ELBEBT HAWKINS Latest University of Oregon baseball undergraduate to be lured into the ranks of professional base ball is Billy Brenner, former Olym pia prepper, and a star of Honest John Warren’s 1938 frosh football team. He signed with the Holly Wood Stars, Coast league elub, and is being farmed out in the Western International league with Belling ham. ,. Bill Sayles, who fireballed Ore gon to a northern division title two seasons ago, quit college af ter his sophomore year to take a fling at big time baseball. The Boston Red Sox have him farmed out at Little Rock. Gene Spiker lasted only a few weeks here and signed in the Western Internation al before even playing frosh base ball. Lefty John Linde, former Grant high pitching ace, turned profes sional just this winter, signing with the Seattle Rainicrs who farmed him to the WI. The professional baseball lure also enveloped Yankee Joe Gor don's little brother, Jack, who played shortstop for Oregon last spring. Jack is staking his pro start with Wenatchee of the West ern International. Another Web foot who went to the WI is John ny Lewis, Oregon’s all-around bas ketball player, pitcher, and in fielder of two years ago. Johnny got his college degree though and is now starting his second season in the pro game as a pitcher. Brenner pitched and played first base as a prepper but recent ly worked out with Hollywood be hind the bat. He turned to baseball because an old shoulder injury was aggravated in football last fall and physicians feared another bad bump would ruin him permanently. The Olympian had a trick knee, too, but his real reason for quit ting Tex Oliver was the shoulder trouble. . Hobby Hobson's big worry: How much of Oregon’s “million dollar infield" will be intact when next spring rolls around. Ford Mullen, the smooth fielding and always un der-estimated second sacker, and First Baseman Busher Smith, who is going through his top season, are both seniors and won't have any more playing time left here. As sophomores in 1937 they were all-conference third baseman and first baseman, respectively. Short stdp Elmer Mallory anil Wimp Quinn will both be eligible to play next spring if they’re here. At best only half Oregon's infield can return for duty. The World Champion New York Yankee infield ean’t he likened to tne "one noss shuy” because it isn't folding nil at once. Lou Gehr ig's self-imposed vacation from the first base post which ho had held consecutively since 1925 with out missing a game marks just one milestone in the process of grad ual change. Another occurred just a year ago when a former University of Ore gon boy, Joe (Flash) Gordon, stepped in at second base to fill the shoes of the aging Tony Lazzeri. Joe pinch hit a home run one day last summer and played regular from then on. His hitting average for the season was only .255 but he batted in 97 runs and clouted 25 homers, and hit .lot) in the world series. Baseball Joe of the Yanks start ed this season with a puny aver age of less than .150, but day be fore yesterday he poked out two hits and is boosting his average back up. He's playing for the world champs because of great fielding and a high runs batted in total. Manager Joe McCarthy says YVebfoot Joe’s job is safe as long us he hits around the .250 mark. * * sj< Oregon's record-smashing jave lin thrower, Boyd Brown, says lie was definitely off and just ‘‘could n’t throw it out'* in Saturday's meet at.

Frosh Pound Out 17-9 Win Over Woodburn Preppers Dragoo Gets Credit for Victory; Goodhew And Whitman Hit Homers for Ducklings By JACK LEE Scoring 10 runs in a big filth inning rally, Oregon's frosh defeated Woodburn high school, 17 to 9, yesterday on Warren's mudflats. Eleven ! errors marred the contest, which saw six pitchers in action. Lcland Dragoo, Walt Gale, and Dick Whitman held the Bulldogs to 10 hits, while Warren’s men collected 13 hits off Paul Halter, Byran Dee and Lorn Donnelly. Leading frosh hitters were Jim Goodhew, Whitey Austin, Kenny King, Leland Dragoo, and Dick Whitman. Whitman and Goodhew each iui liic: uitiui, Rcei) and Wally Lee led the Wood burn hitters each garnering three safe blows.

Kenny King had previously scored on Whitcy Austin’s sacrifice fly to left field. Oregon’s frosh added an other counter in the second. Coach Cone’s club scored one run in the third frame and added five more in the fourth. This rally gave the preppers a 6 to 5 lead which they were unable to hold after the Ducklin’s fifth inning uprising. Bill Skade started the big inning by singling through the box. After the smoke had cleared Warren’s men had scored ten runs on nine hits. Dick Whitman lifted a long home run to the right field bank in the seventh against his former teammates.

Varsity Divoteers Have Three Meets This Week By MILTON LEVY The varsity golfers are looking forward to a weekend of a lot of golf. They will play three matches in four days, some 108 holes, against the best that three northern schools have to offer. All the matches are in Eugene. Friday the Ducks meet a six-man Idaho squad for 35 holes of con ference golf.

Opening against Oregon State, Coach Hobby's boys dropped one of the two played with the Beav ers. That was okay, but then they bowed to the masterful pitching of Earl Gregory of Idaho, and this week they fell once before Wash ington State’s Cougars. And as a result, they now rest in I a tie for second place with three wins and a like number of defeats. Scores of the Cougar games were 5 to 3 for Washington State, and 7 to 6 for Oregon. Oregon State is leading tlie league with lour wins against two defeats, and Idaho and the Cou gars are tied with the Ducks. Washington's Huskies rest in the cellar with one win and three loss es. Next Monday and Tuesday, the Ducks face Washington's Huskies on Howe field. Final home game for the Hobsonmen is with Oregon State. This afternoon Coach Hobson will send his varsity clubbers against the frosh in a practice game. In the absence of Coach John Warren who is in eastern Oregon. Coach Hobson will also direct the freshmen. Hobby Watches I'rosh The game, according to Coach Hobson, will give him a chance to see tlie frosh team in action for the first time.

Washington State's squad will play the Ducks Saturday. After resting from the two matches the Oregon six will again step on the Eugene country club course, this time to meet a squad from the University of British Columbia from Vancouver. These three matches will give the varsity plenty of time to get in shape for the two matches that they have the following weekend. Team Members Challenge The members of the Duck team have spent the last two weeks in challenge rounds and only three men remain in their original posi tions. Bill Watson, captain and coach, is now in the top position for the j Ducks. Watson defeated Lewis, > former No. 1 man, two and one after Davis had defeated Shelby j Golden two and one. This is Wat-! son’s first crack at the top berth and he will have a good chance to get used to it when the week end’s golfing begins. Davis is play-1 ing in the No. 2 position and Shel- j by Golden has fallen from the first berth to the third. Doc Near is playing in his orig inal position, that of No. 4. Benny Hughes defeated Cliff Smith two 1 and one to get back fifth position. Rich Werschkul has risen from the ranks to defeat Cliff Smith five and four to take the anchor position. Smith and Werschkul are going to play today to see who gets the No. 6 position for the three matches. Hal Duden is No. 7. Chet Keller No. 9, and Larry Quinlin No. 10. — ■ uaseman, ieaus uif regulars warn an average of .109. He has clouted nine hits in 22 times at the plate. Coach Hobson, still bothered by a perplexing outfield problem, worked his club long and hard yesterday, trying out four men in light field. Jack Shimshak, Herby Hamer, Tini Smith, Lloyd Beggs, all were given a turn in the right pasture. In addition, Bob Hardy, pitcher, is slated for duty in right field when not on the pitching mound. The Duck mentor also concen trated his efforts on the catching department. He gave all three catchers -Cece Walden, Jim (Boy, I’m Husky 1 Rathbun, and Maury Kelly a long session of throwing practice.

Men Of'42 By KEN CHRISTIANSON FRANCIS SCHULTZ A blond, personable sprinter who won individual high point honors in the state track meet in 1938, and second honors in the 1937 meet, is tagged as one of the most prom ising of cindermen tracking about on Hayward field for the freshman team. He is Dutch (Francis) Schultz, who gathered 14>/2 points last year in the state cinder event and brought much honor to Forest Grove high school. Schultz, to gain the points, took first place in the 100-yard dash, first in the 220-yard dash, second in the broad jump, and held the an chorman position on the fifth place relay team. In 1937, he took second in the 100, third in the 220, and third in the broad jump for the second highest honors. First honors in 1937 were held by Eob Diez, Ore gon colored ace. Best times turned in by Schultz last year were :09.8 for the 100 yard dash, made in the district meet, and a mark of :21.8 in the 220-yard dash, made in the state tournament. In his junior year in high school, Dutch leaped 23 feet two inches in the broad jump. He cleared the high jump bar at five feet eight during his prep school days. At Forest Grove, Schultz played Frosh-Rook Relays Billed For Friday Stovel's Duckling Outfit Composed of Ex-Prep Stars With the best Duckling track team in years, Coach George Sto vel plans to reverse last year's three-two decision in favor of the Oregon State rooks. Last year Oregon took only the [ 440 and the 880-yard relays. The 440 was run in the comparatively good time of 44.4, and the 880 re lay was clocked in 1:35.1. Oregon State took the three mile in 14:32. Oregon holds the best mark of 13:40. The Orange team won the mile relay in 3:35.5. The deciding race of the day last year was the medley relay, run by the Beaverlings in 7:53, shattering their old mark of 7:56. Stovel has amassed a number of former prep state luminaries who will be out for victory this Friday on Hayward field. Ex-State Meeters Highlighting the selection is Dutch Schultz, high point man in the state meet last year with 14% points, who is a promising sprinter. Ray Dickson, Bend hurdler and sprinter, was second high man in the state meet. Dickson is capable i of a win in the broad jump and : points in the pole vault, besides ! the hurdles and dash events. Ray Kleinfeldt, Bend miler, has won his favorite event three times in the last three state track meets. Wes Steele, sprinter and quarter miler of Jefferson high of Port land, is another sure point winner. Carlo Apa, Dave Scoggin, Boyd Lee, A1 Toole, Martin Luther, Bill Ross, Sam Cox, Ed Storli, Ed Reiner, Bob Olsen, and Bill Johns complete the list of hopeful sprint ers, middle distance men, and mil ers. The probable lineups are for Ore gon State: three-mile—Sawtell, Gil pen, Woodin, Vinton; 440 — Ber man, Smith, Dorrh, Hon or Et- : tinger; mile—Blain, Herrall, Long, \ Peret; 880—Berman, Smith, Et- ' tinger, Hon or Herrall; medley — I Ruth, Blair, Smith, Gilpen or Vin- ! ton. Oregon's probable lineup is: three-mile—Ross, Cox, Storli, Rein er or Kleinfeldt; 440 — Dickson, Steele, Scoggin, Schultz, or Apa; mile—Lee, Steele, Toole, Luther; 880 Dickson, Steele, Scroggin, Schultz or Apa; medley—Olsen, Cox, Ross, Johns or Reiner. end on the football team with Bob Davis, fraternity brother, who was guard on the freshman football team. Schultz has been given the an chorman position on the 440 and the 880-yard sprint relays for Fri day against the Oregon State freshmen.
