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.
If sill the golfers in the Univer
sity of Oregon athletic set-up were
laid end to end . . . you’d . . . you'd
have ipiite a tournament. Take

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 . . ..
Busher Smith, the colorful first
baseman, in some of his playful
moments insists Bub Harily is a
married man . . . the Emerald’s
varsity track reported, Doug Par
ker, has recently stolen some of
Bill Hayward’s thunder as a prog
nosticator (predictor) . . . Proggie
Parker came within three points
of culling the score of the Oregon
Portland university track meet
. . , a fluke said Parker's cronies,
but he sharpened a pencil and sat
down and figured out that Oregon
would beat Washington in Seattle,
73 to 38 . . . the score was 73 to
38 . . . this week the Webfoots and
Colonel Bill Hayward depart for
Pullman to compete in the north
ern division meet . . . watch "Par
ker’s Patented Predictions."
game, the final full practice before
the Husky series, Coach Hobson:
pitched for the regulars hooking
up in a hurling duel with A1 Linn
and Jack Jasper of the yannigans.
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

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.

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.

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.

Acting Coach Hank
Nilsen Sends Group
Through Workout
The Ducklings’ acting baseball
soach, Hank Nilsen put hi3 charges
through a stiff workout yesterday
in preparation for their "little civil
war’’ with the Oregon State rooks.
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.

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. John Sher
man challenged Dick Williams for
his No. 5 position on the varsity
ladder yesterday, and Williams
turned him back, 11-9 and 6-3.
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.
Discus—Olsen, Radigan.
Javelin—Rickman, Radigan.
Carlo Apa, injured sprinter, will
make the trip as trainer.
A Pedestrian Safety Service
auxiliary was recently organized
in Portland for the purpose of pro
moting safe walking habits among
those who seldom drive cars. Pe
destrian societies have heen active
in England, where the pedestrian
problem is even more acute than
here.
