DUCK TRACKS ^^HBammunimniiimmimiim:iiimmuiiiiiiii;miiHiiuimimmi!iiDiiinnn< By ELBERT HAWKINS Colonel Bill Hayward Issues a statement which ought to thrill ev ery aspiring American hoy who wants to be a cindcrman. Colonel Bill’s edict: “Any hid who is tall, and has a stride, can make a tra< k team.” To that he adds, “I like ’em rangy.” Tying right in with the Oregon veteran’s idea is a synonymous statement from another authority in an entirely different sport. Bob by Coltrin, who passed through Eugene to scout the Washington State basebt^l series this week for the New York Yankees, says the same thing: “We like ’em rangy.” That's why he, Justin Fitzgerald, Ernie Johnson, and about every other big league scout to hit Eugene has liked Oregon's No. 1 winner, Southpaw Pitcher Bob Hardy. They all take one good look at Ollie, or maybe two, or maybe they’ll watch him for three inn ings, but the conclusion is practi cally inevitable. A big guy like Hardy, loose, with lots of wrist snap and a booming curve like Hobby’s ace slings at ’em makes the big portsider what the scouts deem "a prospect.” The Yanks particularly go after the big boys, although you wouldn't call ex Webfoot Joe Gordon, their second baseman, or Lefty “Goofy” Gomez, pitcher, truckhorses. Big Red Ruf fing, 210 pounds, Joe DiMaggio, 195 pounds, and Lou Gehrig, 205 pounds, are better examples of what Coltrin hunts for. The Yank scout doesn't stop at college ball in his meandcrings, either. He’s assigned this coast territory and even looks over high school prospects. Tex Oliver's grid squad won’t divide forces for ail intersquad on Junior Weekend as per previous arrangements. No sir, they’ve got an even better treat lined up for sports fans—a game between the Webfoots and a group uf all stars, including pro gridders, ineligible men, alums, etc. , Look at this list: Del Bjork, Butch Morse, and Jerry Donnell, pros, Nello Giovanini, Bud Robert son, John Yerby, Ted Gebhardt, Hank Nilsen, Joe Huston, and <?ene McAteer, former California tackle. In Smiling Tex’s big pre view last spring, an all star team composed of some of the boys gbove appeared against the Web foots and they made it an inter esting afternoon. Of course some Of ’em got so tired the wind could have blown them over, but it was a colorful day of football. When Oregon's varsity baseball team played Willamette here re cently, Pete Igoe walked to the plate to pinch hit for Jack Shim shak—and Pete forgot to report to either the official scorer or Um pire Stan Summers. Spec Keene, Willamette’s shrewd and baseball wise coach, stormed on the diamond and demanded that Pinch flitter Igoe be declared out. Summers called him out. Hobby Hobson was on the field by that time and he quickly convinced Umpire Summers the decision should be changed. More bedlam . . . with the unhappy umpire (caught between two fires. Igoe was allowed to bat. Who was right Keene or Hobson ? The rules: “The umpire shall as sess a fine of $25.00 against the manager or captain who fails to notify him when one play er is sub stituted for another ..." The northern division isn’t what you'd call a horse and buggy league, but il isn't a professional league eith er, so Hobby Hobson, the limp, Pete Igoe, and everybody was ap parently rigid—except Spec Keene. * * # Oregon’s grid squ.ul will pruc lire through next week and wind iy> its 33-session spring drill with the Junior Weekend exhibition . . . orchids to the Amphibians lot packing the men's pool for their entertaining Duck Splashes . . .

Whitman has collected 25 hits in 51 times at bat to lead his nearest competitei, “Whitey” Austin, by 105 percentage points. The frosh have a “murderers row,’’ consisting of Whitman, Aus tin, Lee Carrilho, and Bill Carney. All four of these lads are hitting well over .300 and constitute the main batting punch on Warren's team. Jim Goodhew, lanky first baseman from Los Angeles, has found his batting eye and is now within striking distance of the four leaders. In the eleven games this season the frosh have amassed a total of 125 hits in 385 times at bat for a team average of .325. The Duck lings have also accounted for 126 runs for an average of over 11 runs to the game. Frosh oppon ents have scored 83 runs for an av erage of over 7 runs to the game.

Capital St. I Duck Varsity Kicks Frosh Nine, 16 to 3 Yearlings Nick Linn For Only Six Blows; Herby Hamer Hits With Yankee Scout Bobby Col trin looking on, Oregon's varsity and' frosh tossers, all under the ■ eye of Headman Howard Hobson, staged on intersquad baseball me lee at Howe field yesterday, the varsity clubbers winning it by a 16-to-3 score. And if the tilt did nothing else, it served to give the Webfoot men tor a line on some of his present and future prospects. The game was abbreviated to six innings. A1 Linn, rookie right hander from San Mateo jaysee, hurled for the varsity all the way and gave up but six scattered hits as he checked the potent frosh bats. Musselman Hurls Bill Musselman, ace frosh chuck er, was nicked for four runs in the first inning and two in the sec ond, and finally gave way in fa vor of Jack Jasper who finished for the frosh. Jasper, a varsity hurler, was hit hard in the final frame by the varsity stickers. Whitey Austin, peppery catcher, and Adrian, right fielder, each col lected two hits for the frosh. Lead ing varsity hitters with two blows each were Bush Smith, first base man; Ford Mullen, second sacker; Herb Hamer, right fielder, and Jim Nicholson, center fielder. Smith had two doubles, Hamer one triple, and Jasper a three bagger. Tini Smith hit a home run. Hamer Hits Jn an effort to increase the hit ting power of the varsity nine, Coach Hobson started Herb Hamer in right field, and the curly-liaired sophomore spanked out a triple and single. The Webfoot mentor also substituted freely, using Lloyd Kaschko, Tom Cox, Jack Yoshitomi, Tini Smith, Jack Shim shak, Maury Kelly, and Pete Igoe before the game was over. Jim Duck Golfers Start First Of Three Matches in Four Days; Meet Idaho Today By MILTON LEVY The University of Oregon varsity golfers strike out this morning for the first of some 108 holes of golf that they are going to play ! over the weekend and on next Monday. The Ducks meet a strong Idaho sextet in a 36-hole match today at the Eugene country club. Captain Bill Watson has arranged the team so that every man will get to p;ay, and the first six will not have to tramp the entire iwcive rounus. iweive rounds or golf is not so much in four days, but when you are playing three crack college teams, it turns the marathon into something more than a bunion derby. Cougars Slated The Ducks will play Washing ton State here Saturday and will meet Bellingham Normal Monday. A wire received from the Univer sity of British Columbia today cancelled the match that was to be played here Monday, but an other wire from Bellingham ask ing that Normal be permitted to take the place of the B.C. school followed soon after. Watson will meet Hudson Nei man in today’s singles to see which of the two No. 1 men can outplay the other. Fred Davis will play in the Ducks’ seoond position and will meet Harry Snead. Shelby Golden will be in third berth and will play Charles Crowther. Near Is No. 4 Doc Near will take care of the Ducks’ fourth position and will play Idaho’s Herman Rossi. The absence of Benny Hughes advanc es Dick Werschkul to the fifth po sition. Werschkul meets William McPhail. Cliff Smith will play in the Ducks' anchor position in the singles, against Idaho’s Louis Cra mer. The Webfoot squad will be switched around in the doubles to Rathbun, varsity catcher, saw duty for the frosh.

Watson and Near will play in the first team, Hughes and Chet Keller in the second, and Larry Quinlin and Cliff Smith in the third. This will be Watson's first crack at the top position, as he has re cently defeated Davis and Golden to come up from the third berth where he played during the two matches this season. In both matches Watson took three points in the singles, so it is believed that he will not have too much diffi culty in holding down the top posi tion.
