Prospects of a Webfoot victory
• fit Pullman today are very
gloomy. but the University cin
clermen are out to "do or die"
for the school. Fourteen of Coach
Bill Hayward’s boys nervously
and anxiously boarded the north
bound train yesterday to be on
i hand for their second conference
meet.
In spite of the unfavorable
predictions, however, Oregon has
a few irons in the fire, and will
undoubtedly walk off with some
of the events. Hod Hansen, who
, lias been laid up by injuries but
who is now back in form, has been
• -clearing the 13-foot bar in pole
vaulting very easily at practices,
and should be able to beat any of
ihe Cougar men. Captain Kirman
Storli is always dependable, and
, stands a good chance of chalking
up a victory for Oregon. Boyd
, Brown, in the javelin throw, and
Khle Reber in the broadjump, are
both heavy pre-meet favorites.
Selections soon
All eyes will be fixed upon tha
results of today’s meet and upon
the progress of the various track
men until selections are made
, for the Northwest conference to
be held in Seattle, May 17, and
the Coast meet of May 24 at Los
Angeles. You may sure that ev
ery man on the track squad will
tie fighting for the chance of go
ing, and the cream of the crop
will be sent to defend Oregon's
green and yellow.
Coed Sports
What’s been happening in the
long unheard-of coed intramural
softball games? Well, ail contests
have been going off on schedule,
and the race is well past the half
way mark. It looks as if it will
be a bitter fight to the finish,
■with the Co-op, Chides, ADPi, and
Kappa teams taking the spot
light.
Second-baseman Maurine Her
, niann. ADPi, is perhaps the most
, outstanding player in this sea
. son’s contest. She has done a
great job on the team, and with
r her covering this hot position,
the ADPis stand a good chance
i of walking off with the title.
Speaking of good players, Al
r pha Gam’s Elaine Gray com
.. -mands attention. Playing infield,
, f:he has been outstanding in cov
. ering the pitcher’s box on all the
. fast plays.
Rusty Tomlinson. Co-op's sen
. ior red-headed PE major, is a
, good man on any team, and in
any sport, and although not up
to par, she has played a good
; game, and has done much to put
, fire into the team.

Umpires Noted
“Throw out the umpire ! ’’
“Whad’ ya mean—a ball ? Are
you blind!” This is about the only
recognition the umpire in a base
ball game receives from the
crowds. One would think they
would become horribly discour
aged, and refuse to volunteer
their services. But each year old
and new girls turn out to give
the coed intramural softball man
agers a hand.
Mildred McCarthy, who can be
seen almost every afternoon at
the Gerlinger field umpiring a
game, said that it was a difficult
thing to have to make decisions
when one naturally knows a num
ber of the players on both s . s.
“The only way to command the
respect of the girls,” she advised,
“is to go into the game as if you
really mean business. If the um
pire sticks by her decisions, the
teams will soon realize that she
knows what she is doing, and will
abide by her rulings. Above all,
the umpire must never hesitate
in making a decision, for if she
does, she’s sunk."
This business of umpiring is
really a thankless job. Few peo
ple even know who the many um
pires are. Among the many girls
who have been acting as officials
this season, special recognition
should go to Mildred McCarthy,
Kathleen Brady, and Margaret
Young, all of whom have done
more than their share to make
the coed intramural softball con
test fgir and square.
Frosh Nine
Bills Toledo
By HARTLEY
War has been declared!
The frosh will play the Toledo
high school team today at
2 p.m. Toledo will be the scene
of battle.
Eleven men will take the trip,
which will be by the way of the
Newport crab festival. Those to
fill the pitcher’s box are: Stew
Fredricks, Nick Begleries, and
Monroe Karterman. The catchers
for the game will be Howie Rob
ertson and Bill McKevitt.
The infield will be Chuck Clif
ford, first base; Don Kirsch, sec
ond base; John Bubalo, third
base; and Bob Yancey, shortstop.
Outfielders are: left field, War
ren Taylor; center field, Hank
Burns, and Tony Crish, right

Mrs. James Ferris, above, is the state women’s golf champion of
California. She now looms as a possible threat for contestants in the
national golf tournaments.

Defy Rain
Despite the unexpected ram
that has dampened the tennis
courts considerably of late, the
girls’ tournaments are being suc
cessfully carried off. The second
round was completed last night
with very few defaults.
This year, a new idea is being
carried out in the all-campus sin
gles, as each girl gets two chanc
es for a loss before being elim
inated. The girls who are unde
feated so far in these matches
are Marilyn Christlieb, Robin Nel
son, Phyllis Sanders, and Norma
Scarpelli. In the interhouse sin
gles, Pat Larkin, Helen Moore,
Nancy Lewis, Margaret Holford,
Virginia Yost, Florence Schyler,
Maxine Klinge, and Ellen Ann
Evans are yet to be beaten.
It is interesting to note that
many of these players are from
California, and perhaps one of
them will become champion and
upset the last two years’ record
of an Oregonian winner.
The next matches must be
played off by Tuesday night at 7,
and the arrangements must be
made by the girl who is on top of

All intramural softball

Play will be resumed next

sure who or when they play
should consult the schedule by the
cage in Gerlinger immediately.
Werschkul
Grabs Lead
Les Werschkul will hold down
the No. 1 spot on Oregon’s net
team for the first time this year
against the Orangemen in Cor
vallis this morning.
Werschkul, in this sudden rise,
duplicates his performance of
last year in which he started out
slow, and rose to the coveted No.
1 position.
In taking over the top notch,
Werschkul becomes the third net
ter to play his position. Larry
Key played number one against
Linfield, Willamette, and Leader
Tennis Shop. Leonard Clark took
the top rating in the following
two matches with Washington
State and Idaho.

Monday
Oregon’s battling baseball nine
meets the Washington huskies
Monday at Howe field. The two
game series, which was scheduled
for Friday and Saturday, was
moved up to Monday and Tues
day as a result of occasional
showers and the consequently
muddy field.
The Huskies are so far unbeat
en in northern division play, hav
ing chalked up a double-header
victory over Idaho and a single
win over Washington State.
The Webfoots have a good
chance of climbing to at least
second position if they win both
games from the invading team.
At present, the University team
is in the third position.
Dick Izzard, Coach Tubby
Graves’ ace hurler, will probably
be in the starting position for
Washington, but as yet Coach
Hobby Hobson has given out no
definite information as to the
Oregon battery. Possible starters
are either Virg Haynes or A1
Linn.
Kappa Sigs
Take Title
Competition in “B” volleyball
was slack yesterday as three
teams took games by default. The
Kappa Sigs received their fourth
win and the league 4 title as the
result of a default by the Yeomen.
Phi Psis Win
Phi Psis took a match from
the Campbell Co-op in a very
slow game in which the play
featured exactly nothing. It was
a straight game victory, 15 to 6,
15 to 7.
The Pi Kaps won dn default
from the Omega hall, as did the
Zeta hall boys from the Phi Sigs.
Close Games Slated
Play in the “A” league really
began in earnest Tuesday of next
week as the Phi Delts take on
the DUs, and the ATOs battle the
Theta Chis. Each of the teams
has won four games in competi
tion to date without being defeat
ed. It seems likely that the two
winners will possibly meet in the
“A” volleyball finals.
All Monday’s games have been
set for Tuesday.
Tuesday’s games (all “A”):
4:00: Kappa Sigma vs. Kirk
wood Co-op, ATO vs. Theta Chi.
4:40: Phi Delts vs. DUs, Sig
ma Chi vs. Omega hall.
Generals Grant, Sherman, and
Sheridan were all considered
mediocre when students at West
