Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor Les Steers gets his first official chance to break the world's high jump mark tonight at Seattle. The highly pub licized Oregon star left yesterday with Bill Hayward, coach of track at the University, and according to the latest word would be officially entered in the dual meet between Cali fornia and Washington as a representative of Oregon. Hayward is no little irked at the fact that most people have been led to believe that Les cleared seven feet, one-half inch in his recent indoor exhibition between halves of the OSC-Oregon basketball game. According to Ilayward, there was no allowance made tor a natural sag in the cross-bar and the standards may have been slightly incorrect. Bill prefers to say that Steers “probably ’ cleared six feet eleven inches, and let it go at that. This meet in Seatte will be held indoors and conditions are snch that it will Ite miraculous if Les comes near breaking the old atitude mark. A sandy takeoff affords the jumpers extremely poor footing and its “give" to spikes cuts off about two inches from a leaper's ceiling. Baseball Material Pleases Cornell Anse Cornell should be really enjoying himself these days as he puts the baseball aspirants through their paces. When Hobby Hobson left for Hawaii yesterday with tin* basketball team, he left Anse in charge of the sweetest bunch of diamond players that a coach could ask for. The problem is not one of how to find men to fill the positions, but how to make the best of the extraordinary material that seems to be two and three deep at every position. Pitching is not up to par on this year’s outfit, but is too early to give up completely on the twirling. Bob Rieder and Pete Igoe, veteran performers, are back for action and may develop into a pair of well-nigh invincible right-handers as the season progresses. Rookies Nick Begleries, Monk Karter man, and Carlo Apa round out the pitching staff. With the first game coming Tip next Tuesday with Pacific university, Cornell has as his first team, Billy Calvert, catcher, Chuck Clifford, first base, Jack Shimshack, second base, Bill Ilamel, shortstop, and Buck Berry, third base. All seem pretty well certain of holding their positions at least for the next three weeks. When Sophomore Donnie Kirsch returns from the island basketball trip, however, Shimshack will have to step to hang on to his berth. Outfield Positions Appear Cinched The outfield seems to be a closed corporation with Bill Carney, Captain Dick Whitman, and Johnny Bubalo standing head and shoulders above their competitors. All three are deadly hitters and smooth fielders. With luck, Oregon may find their complete outfield on the northern division all-star squad when the season is completed. It may be a little early for picking an all-star team, but from the looks of things out there on Howe field now-a-days, a man wouldn't go too far astray and wouldn’t be accused of being blindly prejudiced if he were to select almost any man in the entire starting lineup as probable north ern division nominees when the honors are given out at the end of the regular season—they look that good. Warren Threatens to Twirl Freshman Coach John Warren has a little more to worry about. There have been rumors circulating that there will be a team this year, but according to Warren, he hasn’t had anything to work with as yet. In typical optimistic fashion Honest John stated, “If I can find a pitcher, I may be able to scrape up eight other men to fill the positions in the field.” If worst comes to worst, Warren says he'll take to the mound himself. A notorious batting practice pitcher, he says his arm has that old zing in it this year and predicts a great season for himself. lie still asks, “Have you found a pitcher for me yet?” Announcem ent The University Co-op Store has completed an agreement with the Bock - of - the - Month Club under which the Co-op is authorized to give the com plete Bock Service of this fam ous Club.

Umrersittj ^CO=OP5 Hawaii-Bound Duck Five Given Roaring Send-off Hobby Speeds West From N. Y. to loin Team in 'Frisco Cars jammed with students i streamed down Willamette street at noon yesterday, horns blaring. Eugeneans munching lunch in shops along the main drag turned from their soup and crackers and gawked at the noisy caravan pro ceeding toward the S. P. depot. People lining the street beamed. University of Oregon students were giving nine Webfoot hoop men, Mrs. Howard Hobson, senior manager Leonard Ruecker, and two Eugene couples a wild sendoff on the first leg of their trip to Hawaii. Coach Hobby Hobson missed the spree, but was on a strearujiner speeding westward from New York to meet his team and wife in San Francisco. At noon today the Ore gon contingent eases out through the Golden Gate and next Thurs day morning will round Diamond j Head and nose into Honolulu har bor. Fuhrman Is Romeo Rolph Fuhrman, unassuming sophomore forward1, earned the monicker “Romeo" as four viva cious coeds jostled their way through the crowd to plant hearty kisses and globs of lipstick on his blushing cheek. Next Friday the Ducks play their first game of the island series, ] this against a Coca Cola quintet. Some of the Hawaii teams op posing Oregon will definitely be “spiked" with Hank Luisetti, San Francisco Olympic club wizard. The former Stanford ace set a new scoring mark of 28 points in one game during the recent national AAU hoop tourney before his team was waxed by the Twentieth Cen tury outfit in the finals of compe tition. Wednesday, April 11, following a farewell reception the day before, the Oregon group will sail for the mainland and then head north back to Eugene. Steers Enters Seattle Meet Les Steers, phenomenal Ore gon high jumper, will have an opportunity to officially hoist the vvorlil indoor and outdoor standards in that event. Jump ing indoors up in Seattle tonight, Steers will be a special Oregon entry in a dual meet between California and the University of Washington. Twice in indoor exhibition leaps, Steers has soared over 6 feet 11 inches, unofficially eclipsing the world outdoor mark of C feet 9% inches held jointly by Cornelius Johnson and Dave Albritton. Steers and Hayward left for Se attle yesterday. While Steers and Hayward are on their Seattle sojourn, the re mainder of the Webfoot track team will be grinding for their coming series of campaigns around the northern division. X-ray photographs of starving insect larvae have given Univer sity of California scientists a com plete record of the process of star vation. Graduating Seniors Given Grid Jerseys By Webfoot Coach In recognition of Oregon's 20 to 0 victory over Oregon State, the jerseys worn by the nine seniors on lust fall's football squad were presented to the outgoing men yesterday afternoon by Coach Tex Oliver at the first spring meeting of the football squad. In awarding the jerseys Coach Oliver instituted a custom to he observed for the duration of his coaching career at Oregon. The jersey Hard Hitting Ducks Ready For Badgers It was the Yannigans and the Regulars galloping through the first practice baseba'l game on a brand, spanking new season Wed nesday, and the railbirds picked up their first glimpses of the 1941 edition of "Ducks on the Dia mond.” With the first pre-season game of the year only a half week away, Acting Coach Anse Cornell didn’t pull any punches in sending the foaseballers through the intersquad game. The Webfoots meet Pacific university on Howe field Tuesday, April 1. Cornell was all smiles as he watched the Regulars rap out hit after hit off pitchers Bob Rieder and Nick Begleries, with Rieder taking most of the hard swatting attack. The Regulars didn’t take long to pick up last year’s batting eyes, punching out an unbelievable live triples, a double and a single in the initial inning, and from there they went on to win, 13 to 4. With Dick Whitman, Bill Hamel, Johnny Eubalo, Buck Berry, Bill Carney, Chuck Clifford, Biliv Cal vert making up a “murderers row” comparable to the Yankees of by gone days, the Ducks should offer an opposing pitcher no end of head aches. The first of Oregon’s seven pre season tilts but a few 'days away, Cornell will continue to drive the team through hard drills and brisk workouts. The complete schedule: April 1—Pacific at Eugene.

Baseball Prospective Heckles Warren “Calling one frosli right-handed pitcher.” Coach .John Warren walled out a plea Thursday afternoon for one right-handed pitcher In fair con dition and with a good part of his afternoons off to holster his sadly undermanned mound staff. As matters stand “Honest John” has but one reliable lad to take his turn at the pitching chore, a certain Al Wlmer who serves up a tricky southpaw slant. The backstop position is fairly well taken over with Bill Peterson, Marvin Oswald, and Duan Camp bell trying for the spot. Infield Performers A step ahead of the squad at covering ground in the infield are: Bill Gissberg at first. Bill Bishop at second, Kik Simonsen at short, and Ed Crane at third. Gissberg has lots of competition at. the ini tial sack from Dick Burns. At the keystone sack Tom Oxinan is mak ing a determined bid for playing honors. Other candidates for infield posts are: Jim Vitti, Bud Hoover, Lloyd Jackson and William Hoyt. To cover the outfield pastures Warren can have his choice of Bill Krause, George Sertic, Aaron Get Your MIXERS at TED’S 958 Oak St. Jones, Harry Martin, and Bob Sheridan. The definite weakness in the turnout lies in the pitching staff. At the present Warren ha3 oniy Wimer and Norris Ambrose, a right-hander from Drain. The freshman coach has been trying to turn Sheridan into a chucker.
