Just a couple of iron men were
Larry Key and Leonard Clark,
Oregon's No. 1 and No. 2 varsity
’tennis players, Friday afternoon
•(against the group of invading
Portlanders. And I wonder how
- «iany Webfoot fans realize the
«wnount of running and stamina
which must have been involved
for the Duck duo.
Some of these birds who cry
"Sissy sport!” about tennis should
try to duplicate the performanc
es of Coach Russ Cutler’s hardy
nttmen. Key played a total of
•four complete matches during
the afternoon, or ten sets, and
Clark piled up eight in three
matches. This totals 90 games
during the afternoon for Larry
and 85 for Lefty Leonard! . . .
ail of this augmented by the us
ual warm-up rallies before each
match.
It started this way. Key. the
varsity top man, opened his big
afternoon at 1:30 by running
through a snappy exhibition with
Wayne Sabin, the hot-shot.from
the Rose City who was a member
■'•of two American Davis cup
teams, holder of several big ti
tles in the South, and formerly
ranked fifth in the country by
the National Lawn Tennis asso
ciation until that body suspend
ed him for a year. Being more
experienced than the collegian,
Sabin toyed along easily and
won, 6-0, 6-3.
roubles Duo Shines
Key and Clark then teamed to
whip the same Mr. Sabin and
Partner Wes Hartman in a dou
bles exhibition in straight sets,
«-(!, 6-2. (Look out, you northern
"division doubles teams'.) Those
tvvo matches completed the day’s
exhibition play, a crowd of ap
proximately 600 fans being at
tracted by Sabin, so the Key
Clark duo then played their reg
ular singles and doubles matches
itt a team engagement for the
varsity with the Leader Tennis
whop of Portland.
The not-so-fresh Webfoot net
men were extended to three sets
on both their singles and doubles
matches. Key went 26 more
games before whipping W. Davis.
Leader No. 1, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.
Clark used up 36 more games
in edging out a thriller from
Maccoby, 6-8, 8-6, 6-2. Larry
and Leonard then used the full
three set limit to beat B. Davis
and Maccoby, the Leader No. 1
doubles team, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.
Phew! What an afternoon! That
equals an even 15 love sets for
Key and the equivalent of over
14 for Clark.

of the Detroit Tigers who signed

former Webfoots made the grade
with Beaumont. They were
crowded off the club by an over
flow from the Tigers when that
major league team broke rela

of the American association.
Granting that Mullen and
Smith are Class A-l players ac
cording to King’s opinion they're
of a caliber just one notch below
the Coast league which is in turn
just below the majors. So don’t
count the former Webfoots out
just yet, they’re still hustling.

Tommy Cox. the peppery third
baseman, and Jack Shimshak,
smooth fielding second sacker,
turned out to be Oregon's dis
tance sluggers for the Oregon
State series last weekend. And
they are a pair of Hobson's small
est baseballers. Cox practically
dished the nickname of “Whiff
Whiff” he acquired last season by
smashing a long home run into
centerfield Friday afternoon off
Southpaw Glenn Elliott of the
Beavers, one of the conference’s
top hurlers.
“Shak” Bats .500
Infielder Shimshak, whose main
trouble in conference ball has
been in collecting: bingles, pretty
well settled the matter by sock
ing a ball over the fence ill Cor
vallis Saturday—it was a deep
fence in centerfield, too. Just to
prove he’s a hitter in conference
ball, Jack hit two singles for
three in five days. Coupled with
one hit in three trips at bat Fri
day, Shimshak has a league bat
ting average of .500 . . . four hits
in eight times at bat ... he leads
the VVebfoot sluggers. Cox is .333
. . . three for nine times up.
Oregon baseball fans are won
dering now if Jack Jasper, the
southpaw pitcher, is going to set
his heart on pitching a full nine
inning game and winning it. The
California left hander, whose arm
has attracted the eyes of various
scouts, pitched winning ball hi
Corvallis Saturday for a while
—but he went the way of Pete
Igoe who was batted from the
box by Oregon State Friday.

with the relief jobs turned in by

Webfoots Score Upset in Shuttle-Hurdles;
Schultz's Ineligibility Hampers Ducks in
Sprints; Jim Buck Shines
By BOB FLAVELLE
The University of Oregon track team dropped a 5 to 3 verdict to
Oregon State’s speedy thinclads in the 13th annual running of the
interschool relays last Saturday at Hayward field.
Biggest upset of the afternoon occured in the shuttle hurdles which
saw the highly-favored Beaver quartet lose when Woodcock stumbled
and fell while holding a three-yard lead. Before he could regain his
stride, Ray Dickson had gained a
five-yard advantage for the
Ducks. Jim Buck then poured it
on in the anchor lap to withstand
the challenge of Carlson, the
Beaver’s division hurdles cham
pion.
Beavers Take 880
The Orange pulled a mild sur
prise in the 880 relay when Jim
Rogers overcame a four-yard
deficit to win going away from
Ed Reiner, who ran for the Ducks
when “Dutch” Schultz was ruled
ineligible just before the meet.
With Schultz out, Oregon’s slim
hope of victory faded. It was fig
ured that their only chance of
winning depended upon whether
they could take firsts in both
sprint relays.
Jay Graybeal ran a great race
as anchorman for the Oregon
team in the 440 relay; one of the
three events won by the Ducks.
Graybeal was a last-minute entry
in place of Schultz.
Jim Buck showed champion
ship form in his three appear
ances on the cinders, indicating
a complete recovery of a leg in
jury which hampered him last
year after a brilliant sophomore
record. He ran second in both
sprint relays and anchored the
victorious hurdle team.
Oregon’s next meet will be next
Saturday at Hayward field when
they take on the University of
Washington tracksters. This will
be the only home dual match for
the Ducks this season.
