Yep, he has the actions of a. hall player. So far, Berry has been playing at shortstop, hut he may be shift ed. to third base. Last night, he ■played at the hot corner in a game with the frosh, while Billy Calvert, a good hitter, roamed Si e short patch. •cripples iiome uacK •John Berry is definitely riding' Itiigih, but he isn't the only Web -foot « ho is tough at that plate these days.

F‘ ■ Hoopmen l idcr-taiul. we're not saying that the Ducks will sweep through the rest of their games or that Berry can possibly keep up his present j>aee. We do be lieve, however, that if the pitch ing continues to hold up and the fielding tightens a bit, Hobby’s tossers will make it tough for opponents the rest of the way. Five basketball players, virtu ally Coach Forrest Twogood's regulars, on Idaho's baseball team —this attests to the versatility of athletes of the Inland Empire. The five are Otis (Suitcase) Hil ton, first base; Chuck Atkinson, second base; Whitey Price, catch er; Roy Ramey, third base; and Ron Harris, outfielder. All are pretty fair country ball players, too. What's more, all but Hilton are also members of Ted Bank’s foot ball team. Coach Twogood, in a rather despondent mood after a second defeat by Oregon, ex plained this rare sports situation this way: “We’ve got to use someone, and they do all right.” mree-sport many At present, Oregon has no three-sport man. Bill Boreher, rugged Oregonian from Saora menton jaysee, is threatening to become one. Big Bill has already won one letter in basketball. Also lie’s quite a football end and may take a whirl at the grid sport be fore his three-year varsity career is completed. He turned in a sparkling game at end for the all-stars against Tex Oliver’s 1940 varsity. Football and bas ketball aren’t the only sports in which Bill excels, however. Yes terday he tried his hand at pitch ing in baseball practice. In soft ball he is a recognized star who has pitched a no-no game this year in donut play. Speaking of Boreher and soft ball recalls that Oregon’s four athletes from down Medford way -—Calvert. Virg Haynes. Ager. and Boreher are all softball play ers of note. They played n the fast Medford league. Haynes was Borcher's catcher, while Cal vert and Ager played in the in field. Calvert's team won the Medford championship and then drafted the Borcher-Haynes bat tery for district play. Incidental ly, Boreher will tell you that Haynes is some backstop man. Go West, Young1 Man Haynes, Calvert and Ager all played softball while performing for the Medford baseball team of the southern Oregon league. Haynes' so Borcher says, pitched Medford to the championship. This fellow Haynes is an Illi nois hoy who four years ago came west to live in Oregon . . . he drove out in a battered car. and lucky for the Webfoots that he did. for he’s chalked up two wins already this year. The black haired pitcher landed in North Bend after traveling all the way from Abe Lincoln's home state, and he still calls the coast city his home, though he spent two years at Sacramento jaysee be fore coming to Oregon. No, he definitely did not go to Southern Oregon normal. Borcher, inciden tally, was Haynes teammate at Sacramento. Oregon track fans are expect ing a great race at Pullman Sat urday when Captain Kirm Storli of the Ducks renews his duel with Washington State’s amaz ing junior half-miler. Bill Dale. Fastest Webfoot While a sophomore Dale de feated Storli twice last year by less than a stride in both the coast and northwest meets. This year, Dale turned in a 1 :o,"> half at Berkeley against the San Francisco Olympic club and California. Last week, he repeat Slinging Boyd ( Red-haired Boyd Brown is about to unleash r the bamboo spear for a mighty heave out on the turf. Boyd will lie out to get the stick over the 220-foot mark this Saturday in Pull- | man. He was national AAU champion last 1 year. Hayward Takes 14 Trackmen to Pullman TENNIS NOTICE All doubles matches must be played off by Friday night. Interhouse scores must be in and written on the chart by the cage in Gerlinger by Thursday noon, or the matches will be defaulted. All-campus matches must be played off by next Tuesday. Betas, Gammas Post Fourth Straight Wins Winners Sure of Tie for 1st Place In Volley League The Betas and Gamma haliers each hung; up their fourth win of the season as “B" volleyball nears the final round of play. The Gamma hall boys assured themselves of not lower than a tie for first in their league as they downed the DUs 15 to 6, 12 to 15. and 15 to 8. The DUs missed the play of Fred Foster in the first game and gave the hali ers little competition, but came back in the second under the pep pery play of Bob Schott and ev ened the games up. Betas Win, 15 to 3, 15 to 1 The Betas had little trouble in gaining their fourth decision of the season with an overwhelming 15 to 3, 15 to 1 win over Canard club. The SAEs had a hard time in downing a determined Sigma hall team, and were extended to three games. They took the first game easily, 15 to 4. but the Sigma haliers rallied in the second game and took a 15 to 12 decision. The SAEs settled down in the third ed his 1:3a performance in a meet in the Inland empire. The Ducks' powerful captain hasn't broken two-minutes yet this year, but he’s confident of beating Washington State's pride. Storli has run the fastest 880 ever turned in by an Oregon man. and this includes George Scharpf. star of Hayward's 1935 team. Scharpf's fastest time was 1:54.3. while Storli was clocked in 1:51.9 in the national AAU meet last year. He placed third, which is mighty okay. By BOB FLAVELLE The University of Oregon's 14-man track team will board the train at 4:40 this afternoon bound for Pullman, Washington, where they meet the strong Washington State Cougar squad Saturday after noon in the second northern division dual meet of the season. Hayward was faced with a difficult problem when the time came for him to pick the travelling squad. If he took a full twenty man ■Liiiemuca avauautc would not be enough to cover ex penses of an extra day of travel. However, the second string run ners answered the question for him and voted to send the small 14-man crew, enabling them to leave Thursday and have a good night's sleep on Friday. Hayward Won’t Predict It was impossible to coax a pre-meet prediction out of the cautious Duck coach. He stated, however, that every man making the northern trip is a potential point winner, and several first places are probable. Captain Kirm Storli has point ed for this weekend meet, as it will give him the opportunity to erase the blemish of two defeats administered last year by Bill Dale, Washington State half miler. Storli says he is in good shape and determined to take this one. Oregon will be the underdog in practically every one of the track events, but is expected to score heavily in the field. Deiz Stays Home Bob Deiz, dusky sprint flash, will be left behind this week with a pulled muscle in his leg suf encounter and took the final game 15 to 12. The Delts received their fourth win as a result of a default by the Fijis.
