This man Tex Oliver, the keen strategian from Arizona who picked University of Oregon foot ball out of the. doldrums, is near ing the first anniversary of the big preview of the “Oliver Twist" which his Webfoots staged last spring for .Junior Weekend fol lowers. And this time he’s profiting by experience. Last spring it was the Oregon team (which had been condition ing all spring) against a crew of all-stars and pick-ups who hadn’t been caring much about how far they could run without calling quits. The all-stars, Butch Morse and company, made things pretty interesting for about a quarter against Tex's boys who were in the pink of condition, but after that it was a problem to find stretcher bearers to carry ’em off the field. The pace was too killing. For Saturday's second Oliver preview there'll be an all-star team on hand to scrimmage the varsity, but that's just where Tex’s fore sight enters the picture. He’s only going to use the all-stars as long as they can hold out and will send Webfoots against Webfoots for the rest of the time. Then, too, the Oregon coach is planning a foot ball clinic to occupy part of the program. At Arizona they proved popular. Various footballers will pit their wares against each other in competition such as punting, passing, and running, and the coaches will discuss various types of football play. Burley Bob Creighton's descrip tion of his screaming line drives which di^ six-foot ditches through the outfield are good for plenty of snickers in the Oregon baseball camp, but Matt (Fat) Pavalunas came along with a quip of his own the other day which almost floored the big righthander. Matt has a baseball playing bro ther who has done pretty well as a pitcher up in Washington. Of course Burly Bob had to ask all about BJother Frank's delivery, etc. What made Creighton turn three shades of green was Matt’s proud declaration that his pitching brother throws a "hone dry spit ter.” Iturly Bob’s meek reply to that one was that “Frank’s bone dry spitter wouldn't go far in this league.” Pitcher Creighton has pounded the ball for a lusty two for 12 in the conference this year but he still proudly talks of last year when he got only one hit in about 27 times at bat. Bob got that, a solid hit, on about the first pitched ball on his first trip to the plate.

NEWT Oregon Tossers Travel North Today Fifteen Men Chosen by Coach Hobson; Team Meets Washington, Idaho, and Washington State in Seven Days By GEORGE PASERO Fifteen Oregon tossers don their traveling jackets at 4:45 this afternoon and head for Seattle, the first stop on their crucial six-game swing around the northern outposts of the conference baseball front. Five pitchers, four outfielders, four infielders, two catchers, and Student Manager Bill Foster were included in the traveling party, named by Coach Howard Hobson yesterday. On Friday and Saturday, the Duck baseballers clash with the Wash- 1 ington Huskies. Saturday night, ^ they shove off again, this time for the heart of the Inland Empire where they meet Idaho’s Vandals' Monday and Tuesday and Wash ington State’s Cougars Wednesday and Thursday. Crucial Journey And by the time they bow out of Pullman, on the road back home, they and Oregon fans will have a pretty good idea just how good are the Ducks’ chances of giving Coach Hobson his second northern division title of the year. At present Coach Hobby’s base bailers are tied with Oregon State and Idaho, each with five wins and three setbacks. Burly Bob Creighton and Bob Hardy, mainstays of the mound corps, are expected to work the two Washington games in Seattle. These two hurlcrs both blanked the Huskies in Eugene, Creighton posting a 3-0 score, and Hardy winning, 18 to 0. l.inn and Jasper The other chuckers making the trip are A1 Linn, who hurled three shutout innings against the Hus kies in helping Hardy win, Pete Igoe, and Jack Jasper. All are ex pected to see plenty of service in the heavy schedule. Cece Walden, first-string re ceiver, and Jim Ftathbun, sopho more hustler, will handle the back stop duties. Tommy Cox, Whizzer White, Jim Nicholson, Jack Shimshak, and Hob Hardy (when he isn’t pitch ing) will patrol the outfield. Only infielders named were the four regulars- Wimpy Quinn, third base; Ford Mullen, second base; Elmer Mallory, shortstop; and Busher Smith, first base. Cox ami Shimshak Should any of the infielders need relief over the grueling grind, how ever, Coach Hobson can call upon Tommy Cox or Jack Shimshak to come in from the outfield. Both were infielders in their frosh days. At Seattle, Coach Tubby Graves of the Huskies is expected to throw his two aces, Warren Sierer and Chet Johnson. Johnson lost to Creighton in a pitching duel, and Sierer, a righthander with a jug handle curve, beat Oregon State once this year. In yesterday’s regular-yannigan boy's boys are awful liars . . ..

The yannigans won 2 to 0, Tommy Cox and Jack Shimshak working a double steal to score the winning run. The yannigans picked up their final score in the last inning when Catcher Maury Kelly smashed out a hit, went to third, and scored on a perfect squeeze bunt by Cox. Football Due For Weekend Sports Fans Tex Oliver to Show Grid 'Clinic' and Preview Game Thirty-two minutes of fast foot ball is promised Junior Weekend fans this Saturday on Hayward field in an abbreviated game be-1 tween Ted Gebhardt’s all-stars and Oliver’s 1939 varsity edition. Eight minute quarters will be played. Game time is 2 o’clock. A football “clinic,” similar to | those shown at large schools like j Notre Dame, will be another fea ture of the afternoon of the fall sport. The fastest man in each position will be determined, as will the fastest man on the entire var sity squad. Some Punting uBinunsuauon ox puLing wm ue given by some of Uie coach's lead ing kickers. Coach Oliver will also explain various systems and dif ferent strategies of play. Still another feature of the day will by an intersquad scrimmage between Oliver's first string and Corley's and Mikulak's third and fourth team members. Newcom ers Johnny Berry, Frank Spratt, and Hoy Dyer will make their ap pearance in Oliver's baekfield. Another new combination will see former frosh Bill Regner and transfer Jim Harris at the two ends of the Oliver team. Hay Se gale, considered the best frosh lineman last fall, will be at one guard berth. Mikulak will rely on veteran backs Bill Hawke and Dave Anderson to lead the many newcomers on their team. The all-stais have been working out regularly this week under the direction of Gebhardt and Hank j Nilsen. The best known foot-ease is freer use of the gray matter be tween the chin and the top-knot.

COLLEGE FLOWER SHOP Across lrom Sigma Chi Bill Hayward To Use 13 in Division Meet Webfoot Cinder Squad Is Without Weight Entries Colonel Bill Hayward has an nounced his traveling squad to the northern division conference meet at Pullman as George Varoff and Rod Hansen, pole vaulters; Boyd Brown, javelin; Jim Buck and Bob Dietz, sprinters; Bob Mitchell and Don Barker, distance men; Jim Schriver, Frank Van Vliet, in the | 440; Ehle Reber, broad jumper; Lloyd Dod and Harry Weston, hurdlers; and Kirman Storli, 880 man. Storli and Varoff are defending champions in their events, while Brown is the outstanding javelin thrower in the northwest. Leave Friday Hayward and his 13 men will leave Friday afternoon, accom panied by Manager Young and, Trainer Bob Officer. The team will be lacking in weight entries. Frank Emmons, outstanding weight man, has re turned to football practice for the forthcoming all-star game as has A1 Samuelson, discus thrower who might have been a point winner in that event. Emmons, whom Hayward believes capable of tak ing a first place at Pullman in the shot put, threw the weight 45 feet earlier in the week. This year’s conference meet will be a one-day affair, a change from the usual two-day athletic pro gram. Since all the heats will be crammed into one day, those Web foot trackmen who are entered in two and three events will be sorely handicapped. Prom Sets (Continued from page one) 10:30 will be the ceremonies for the queen, and in the same series will be the presentation of junior cup awards, it was announced. Late permission was all settled for Friday night, General Chair man Hal Jahn reporting that everything had been arranged for one o’clock leave. Dress for the affair was pre scribed by the co-chairmen, mak ing formal dresses in order for women, plus corsages, and white coats or tuxedos for men. The dance is listed as a spring formal. Practice in previous years has had it that a few men wore tuxedos, more of them wore white coats, and the rest wore what they wanted. Tickets are on sale now. Prices ara a dollar a couple, or 75 cents with junior class card. In order to take advantage of the 25-cent reduction for junior class cards juniors will have to get their tick ets at the Igloo by Friday noon.

There is a possibility that John Warren will not be in Corvallis for the game, and if he is not back, Nilsen will lead the frosh in their Corvallis fray. Nilsen was not entirely satisfied with the team’s performance yes terday. He intimated that a de cided improvement was necessary if the rooks were to be defeated. Bill Musselmann, Walt Gale, and Leland Dragoo are rapidly whip ping their arms into shape for their big contest with the rooks. Nilsen has not stated his choice for starting pitchers, but "no-hit, no-run" Musselmann is expected to start. Will those Ducklings never stop hitting ? Last week against Wood burn and Milwaukie, Warren’s slugging crew rapped out 28 hits and accounted for 33 runs. The team now has a batting average of .329. Dick Whitman, Bill Car ney, Whitey Austin, Lee Carrilho, and Jim Goodhew still remain at the top of the Duckling hit parade.

Husky Net Squad Here Saturday Match Set for 10 O'Clock; Tourney's Team Powerful By JIMMIE LEONARD "They’re a world-beating team,” said Oregon Tennis Coach Paul R. Washke yesterday in speaking of, the University of Washington’s team. That means that the Web foots will have their hands full Saturday morning at 10 o'clock when they tangle with the Huskies on the University courts. Oregon’s “Big Six”—Les Wersch kul (captain), Leonard Clark, Dick Phillippi, Rex Applegate, Dick Williams, and Norm Wiener —will be “loaded to the gunn’ls” for the Huskies, in spite of the ru mors of the high caliber of Coach Jack Torney’s men.

Leonard Clark, portsided No. 2 man, is challenging Captain Les Werschkul for his top position this afternoon. i orney v\ rires Coach Washke received a letter from Jack Torney, the Washing ton coach, yesterday, in which the Husky mentor said he had “a lad by the name of Page who had never played the game before, but was anxious to learn.” Mr. Wasli ke said, “Incidentally, that boy, Page, was the northwest singles champ last year.” Another Husky swatter by the name of Raves croft teamed with Page last year, and the two won the northwest doubles championship. There was a little excitement in frosh tennis circles this week, as Don Galbreaith, No. 2 man, won from Jack McCliment, who had led the Duckling parade for some time. High hurdles—Dickson, Luther. Low hurdles—Dickson, Scoggin, Brown. Relay—Toole, Olson, Lee, Steele. Pole vault—Dickson. High jump — Adams, McKee, Lang. Broad jump — Dickson, Schultz, Adams. Shotput—Olsen, Radigan.
