DUCK TRACKS
By ELBERT HAWKINS, Co-Sports Editor
Oregon Daily Emerald
Unbeaten in four years of col
legiate tennis play! Unbeaten in
34 consecutive team net matches!
■•That's the imposing record a
crew or seven
barnstorming
San Jose State
college net m e n
held when they
stopped in Eu
gene yesterday
afternoon for a
mix with Ore
g o n ’ s unbeaten
varsity. One of
unbeaten teams
Elbert ..had to fall and it
Hawkins was the San Jose
boys by a 7 to 2 score, quite a
feather in the cap of Coach Rus3
■Cutler of the Webfoots.
Not many Oregonians realize it
W ibably but San Jose state's stu
dent body is actually larger than
Oregon’s. The Spartans are about
4,000 strong — divided approxi
mately equal between men and
women. Their student body dou
bled since 1930, according to
■Coach Ed Blesh who had charge
of the San Jose netters during
their full four years of unbeaten
jjlay . . . they competed in the
Northern California inter colle
giate conference up until this
spring when it was disbanded.
Feature of yesterday's match
es was the duel between rival No.
1 men of the Webfoot and Spartan
teams. Ed Harper of San Jose
lias lost few matches during his
Career . . . Harold Wagner of San
Wt ancisco state being the only
an to conquer him this year
. . . but lie had a sore arm yes
terday and couldn't quite whip
lies Wesrschkul, Webfoot top
man. Harper won the first set,
6-3, and had it point set in the
sc • md at 40-15 on his serve with
a. set score of about 5-3 favoring
him and couldn’t win it. The ten
acious Werschkul came back and
finally won that set and the
match by a 9-7 score.
Only Four Managers
Coach Tubby Graves of Wash
ington had a good alibi prepared
for Hobby Hobson when lie
brought his Husky nine into Eu
gene yesterday sans uniforms,
gloves, bats, and everything else
♦rovessary to play baseball. The
train steamed out of Seattle and
ftrft all the Washington baseball
equipment on the station plat
form! Said Tubby, “I only had
four managers and a passenger
ngeut to watch ’em at the sta
tion."
The Huskies failed to look the
part of the northern division’s
top club yesterday in losing, by
the 18 to 9 football score, but the
defeat was actually only their
.second of the season. . . . Graves
J*id the Washington's in first
place before yesterday with three
wins and no losses and he piloted
them through a short pre-season
alate with only one loss in five
games, . . . Only club to beat
iWashingt n this year before Ore
gon did it was Tacoma of the
,"Western International league. . . .
■Graves is limping' around now
white i fractured knee cap mends
. . . he suffered the injury weeks
«ago during- practice when the
ball bounced off some cement . . .
who -ays baseball is safe for a
■coach.
Spec s Threadbare Suit
Spee Burke, the umpire, is soon
going to Ihx in the market for a
new uniform . . . he got an e\
imnsive suit 11 years ago, paying
$60 for it, but the pants are gone
tsnJ he even uses safety pins to
hold the coat together. Says
*4|>ee, "I’m superstitious about
tits is ei>at.”
The veteran former Coast
league arbiter is finishing a two
.weeks vacation from the opera
tors’ license division of the state
and he has spent it at his first
love—umpiring baseball games
. . . besides the pay is reasonably
good . . . Spec umpired the Ore
gon State-Idaho game in Corval
lis last week when Dick Snyder.
Vandal curveball artist set the
Beavers down with five hits and
beat ’em, 3 to 1. “This Snyder
pitched one heck of a beautiful
game out there,” related Umpire
Burke, “he really looked good
... he pitched smart ball . . . that
boy was on top of the world.”
Snyder you’ll remember, got in
against Oregon and looked im
pressive but got less than no sup
port at all from his mates. They
either stared at the ball and let
it fall between hem or booted it
out of bounds.
Don Kirsch and Stew Fredricks,
frosh second baseman and pitch
er, respectively, hitch-hiked down
the valley Sunday hoping to see
a baseball game . . . after having
a game called on them at Albany
and then finding that the Salem
Senators were rained out in their
Western International game, the
Ducklings gave up the ship and
came home . . . Russ Cutler, the
tennis coach, claims Larry Key
and Leonard Clark of his “big
three” are “the best doubles team
in the northern division.”
Oregon Netmen
Whip San Jose
Team, 7 to 2
By LEX BALLIF
A San Jose State tennis team
that had remained undefeated for
four years was just another vic
tim to Oregon’s northern division
title-contenders here yesterday as
Coach Russ Cutler’s Webfoots de
feated the visitors, 7-2.
Les Werschkul, playing inspired
ball at his newly acquired No. 1
position, defeated San Jose’s Har
per, in three torrid, hard-played
sets, 3-6, 6-3, 9-7. Both men
played an extremely hard driving
game, tying the score five times
in the final set before Werschkul
took the 16th game, after it had
been tied up at 40-all.
Although not pressed to three
sets, (Len Clark and Larry Key,
Oregon No. 2 and 3 men, played
hard, heads up ball to defeat
Divon, 6-4, 6-2, and Ehle, 6-3, 7-5.
Other singles matches saw
Horning defeat Engling, San Jose,
4-6, 6-1, 6-4, and Potwin defeat
Kifer, 6-4, 5-7, 9-7 to chalk up a
total of five singles matches won
for Oregon, while Quentin won
the Californians’ sole singles con
test, defeating McCliment, 6-2,
6-1.
