Duck Tracks By TOMMY WRIGHT At least once a year, about the time winter buds start blossoming into spring, organized baseball gets raked over the proverbial “coals” for robbing the cradle of collegiate athletics of their pride and joy “stars.” 1 his time it is Johnny Leovich, Oregon St at e eollege's 1941 All-American football prospects. And the flagrant violator of an athletic director s dream is the Philadelphia Athletics. Leo vich still has one year of football, and two more years of base ball eligibility up at Beaverburg, and when he dropped out of school last week and signed a pro-contract, OSC’s Director of Athletics, Peter Locey, “hit the ceiling” in damning the cradle snatchers. They Make Baseball a Career Not saying that Director Locey doesn't have a “beef” coming, but what of Leovich's ideas. Financially, things arc not so good with Johnny; he has always leaned towards baseball in pref erence to the gridiron; and he has fostered the idea of playing big league ball for some time. In all the controversy, these facts haven’t been taken into consideration by the institution. The same is true of Joe Gordon, Yankee second baseman, “Whimpy” Quinn, Elmer Mallory, Bill Sayles, and John Linde. All five quit Oregon to play the cash game. And more than one still eligible for collegiate competition at Ore gon are seriously considering postponing an education to make a career of playing baseball. Joe Gordon took a couple of years to make the big league grade, and the immensity of his contract surely doesn’t encour age any qualms about giving up his amateur standing. And the same goes for Bill Sayles, big right handed hurler, who gets another try with the Boston lied Sox. “Whimpy” Quinn, and Elmer Mallory, both property of the Los Angeles Angels, arc really proving themselves anything but washouts. Leovich First Beaver to Join Ranks Johnny Linde, another youngster who is following the horse hide call, will be playing for Tacoma’s Western International League Tigers this year, after a 1940 term with the Salem Senators. Howard “Hobby” Hobson, of course, was not a little peeved when his boys moved into organized baseball, but he has lost five players during his coaching career here, while Oregon State's Leovich is the first Beaver to make the shift. Baseball of the intercollegiate variety, isn't as popular as football and basketball, hence the athletic department is unable to aid players in that sport as much as the others. Then why should they go overboard when an athlete signs that all-im portant contract? Dallas Out for Swim Record Swimming: fans should find plenty of excitement Friday af ternoon in the men's pool, when-the Oregon mermen meet the Idaho Vandals. It is one event which will he the big attraction. It will be Jack Dallas, ace breaststroke, as lie goes into the pool with one thought in mind—to break the National Intercollegiate record for the dOO-yard individual medley relay. .Jack whisked through the water in a practice run yesterday, and ended the event in d :4ti.S, just .2.2 seconds over the record. And Friday afternoon with Klierm Whet more as pacer, lie will threaten if not break the time set by Jim Iiced in 1‘Jdli. Road Trip Cuts Hoop Wins Road trips have been the Waterloo for Northwest Division Pacific Coast conference basketball teams this year, with only four games being won on the invaded courts. Washington State, still leading the conference, has won three of these encounters on foreign courts. Oregon’s win over Oregon State college is the other. If this trend, con tinues through the season, the teams will probably end up something like this: • Won Lost Pet. Washington State Oregon . Idaho .

Vandals Two Up On Oregon Five Marshik, Borrevik, Borcher Groomed To Smother Hilton; Anderson Sees Action In Practice; Fuhrman, Kirsch Show Well Bv JOHNNY KAHANANUI Idaho's Vandals barge Into town, appetites whetted for a Duck din ner tomorrow night, but grinning Oregon hoopmen relaxed under steaming showers yesterday evening after C’oaeh Howard Hobson halted the longest and most thorougli workout the YVebfoots have bounded through this week. .. .No pushover outfit Forrest Twogood will herd into the Igloo for the final two games with Oregon this season, despite its boarding in the cellar of the circuit. Twice already the Vandals have humbled Oregon. “Twogies” present mach ine is a more streamlined unit than the jalopy that got banged up four times straight by the Ducks last year. However, far from gloomy are Hobby’s warriors as they grind their axes for the Vandal quintet. Against the frosh earlier this week and in intra squad scrimmage the varsity flashed play that lay dor mant in the OSC game because of the Beavers’ snails pace. Ducks Gun for Hilton Rehearsal yesterday saw Hob son grooming three big Ducks, Archie Marshik, Wally Borre vik, and Bill Borcher, for the all essential job of smothering Ida ho’s Otis “Rook” Hilton, tower ing center. Hilton has been the “Bad Humor Man” to all Van dal opponents thus far this year. Key man in Idaho’s attack and a bulky cog in its defense, he is a demon on snagging rebounds. In cidentally, the “Rook” has piled up the best point-per-game aver age in the northern division, 77 in 7 tilts. From our vantage point (in the gallery) it appears that Marshik may get the starting nod over Borrevik and Borcher. Archie “The Cockroach” scurried around in the last half of the recent OSC game with much gusto and has been making his 6-feet-7-inch physique rather efficacious in prac tice. Oregon will be much tougher than it was when the Vandals pushed the Ducks off the road on the Iatters’ inland empire in vasion. Hank Anderson’s wrenched knee benched him then, and Rolph Fuhrman had n’t broken into the starting line up. Fuhrman started grabbing glory in the Washington series, and has held up well thus far. Anderson hobbled off the bench in the waning minutes of the last two Oregon games to snatch both out of very deep holes. “The Needle" has worked out quite a lot in the past few days, and should see more than the brief spells of action he did against Washington and Oregon State. Don Kirsch, sophomore guard, is opening up in rehearsals with some deceptive floor work. His stellar performance in the recent OSC game and practice form may win for him a starting berth against Idaho tomorrow. Oregon Alum Wins Boeing Schlorship Don E. Hershiser, UO alumnus, recently won a- $5000 United Air lines scholarship to the Boeing School of Aeronautics in Tracy, California. Upon completion of a five-months training course in va rious phases of commercial avia tion, he will work for the air com pany, probably as co-pilot. Hershiser was a member of the University’s original civilian pilot training class, and took the ad vanced training in Portland last summer. He was chosen on the. ba £is of physical condition and per sonality from 15 west coast can didates who were sent to Chicago to compete. Blind flying, navigation, and ad vanced radio training will be in cluded in the five-months course. The Link trainer will be extensive ly used, and all flying will be done in heavy transport ships.

Dallas Out for Medley Record Oregon Mermen Splash Against Vandals Friday Jack Dallas, ace breast stroke of the Oregon varsity swimming team, came within two seconds of breaking the National Intercol legiate 300-yard individual med ley record after only a week's training for the event, in time trials held yesterday afternoon in the men’s pool. The National Intercollegiate rec ord for this event is now resting in the hands of a former Oregon mer man, Jim Reed, who set the record of 3:44.6 in April, 1936 in Gerlin ger pool. Dallas after only a week's training swam the event in the fast time 3:46.8. The 300-yard in dividual medley consists of swim ming 100-yards breaststroke, 100 WEBFOOT Archie “The Cockroach” Mar shik, whom Hobby is grooming to halt Idaho's Hilton in tomorrow night's Vandal clash. yards backstroke, and the remain ing 100-yards in free-style. Jack will attempt to break the existing record in the Idaho meet Friday afternoon in the men’s pool. Sherm Wetmore backstroke champion of the Ducks, will pace Dallas in his record-breaking at tempt. Duck Matmen Face Idaho Vandals Next The University of Oregon Duck, not a bit discouraged over his two defeats by the Oregon State wrestling team, is this week working diligently in prep aration for an invasion of the. ..Idaho Vandal, at 2:30, Friday.

Both ADPis Grab Donut Win Speeding down the floor came ADPis to score another win by deefating Alpha Phi, 24 to 12, in Gerlinger's indoor gym yesterday. At the end of the first cpiarter the ADPis, due to the excellent team work of Mildred McCarthy, Ruth Hartley, and Janet Ross, were leading, 11-2. A one-armed push shot by Ross was the brilliant play of the game. Showing possibilities of a good forward player was Jean Sales of Alpha Phi, also Shirley Sullivan scored eight points for the Phi team. Alpha Gammas defaulted to the Kappas.

Brady Henderson Speaks Against Military Aid For Warring Lands I A program of strengthening do I mocracy at home, promoting it.; growth abroad, and ceasing to give military aid to belligerents is rec ommended for this country by the “Youth Committee Against War," Lawrence Henderson, delegate to the committee’s national confer ence, told members of the Fellow ship of Reconciliation at the Y hut Sunday. "Democracy is not a frail insti tution which must be abandoned whenever a crisis comes along, j he declared. The committee feels that armament economics weak'n rather than strengthen democracy. One New Alpha Gam Bet ty Phillips of Pot Hand has recently pledged Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, according to a Pan- j hellemc announcement. The University of California tension division has inaugurated a courss in taler, liion production - acting. Don Holst and Hal Kasrhko have tossed off their biggest opponent yet this year, the measles, and have reported for regular work outs. Hal Schluter, he of the in jured ribs, has also been working out and will be ready for the Van dals. Only two sour notes have been struck this week in an other wise, cheery refrain issuing from Duck coaches. Masao Hayashi, who was rapidly developing into a smooth 145-pounder, was re leased from the VVebfoots’ wres tling team with a weak heart. The other casualty is diminutive Joe Wong, 121-pounder, who has failed to show up for workouts, and has thus been marked off the Duck roster. “No, I'm not discouraged,” said Coach Lloyd Koehler. “I’m past that point.” Koehler said that the Oregon boys are in for some tough sled ding when they run into the Ida ho men.

Newland was prostrate with a cold which had kept him on the sidelines earlier in the season, and Gissberg was shipped off to the infirmary with a Charley horse. With but two days remaining before the second battle of the “Civil War" with the rooks, it is doubtful whether the pair will play. Warren is burdened with rustling up a new back court pair to use. in the frosh-rook game. New Comho Found Warren seems to have this combination in Ken Simonsen and Warren Christensen, a pair of towering six-foot res. Simon sen has seen plenty of action at guard this season and it is noth ing new to him. However, it is something new for Christensen who has been showing his talents at: forward. Working together for the first, time as a pair yesterday, the new combination looked good. In a scrimmage session, working with Lloyd Jackson at center and Bob Wren, Bob Sheridan, and Rog Dick alternating at the forward slots, Simonsen and Christensen cvlicked 'fairly well. Both boys will add height to the '.yearling team. Simonsen measures an inch above the six foot mark find Christensen is six feet thiee.

Backers and fans of the Sigma Chi “A” league quintet, which so far this season has remained un defeated, are celebrating the 33 to 12 victory over Kirkwood co-op in Wednesday's hoop events. Led by James Shepard, forward, who scored 12 points, Sigma Chi played at a terrific pace which, although they fought valiantly, Kirkwood was unable to match. SAEs Win Although they were behind, 12 to (5, at the half, and 17 to 15 at the end of the third quarter, Sigma Alpha Epsilon staged a startling comeback in the last quarter of their “A” league game to defeat Pi Kappa Alpha, 28 to 24. The score with only 68 sec onds left to play was tied at 24 when “Doc” Walker of Sigma Alpha Epsilon tossed the shot which put them two points in the lead.
