He Golf, Tennis Open to All Anyone interested in tennis or golf tournaments may sign up in the entrance to the gym before Saturday noon. Elmer Olsen of the intramural department an nounced yesterday. The original deadline for en tering the tournaments was today but so few had signed that the opportunity was extended. The tournaments will be called off unless at least ten sign for each, Olsen said. The intramural department in vites all who are interested to enter the golf singles and dou bles and the tennis singles and doubles. Any student is eligible except varsity or frosh letter men.

Nick Begleries will top the mound against Portland university. Carlo Apa and Mon roe Karterman will be in the bull pen waiting the nod. Oregon Hitting Last Tuesday the Duck nine stretched three hits into as many runs and held the Pacific squad to three hits and no runs on Howe field. The Badgers slapped three of Begleries’ pitches across the soggy diamond. It was hardly the kind of wea ther even for Ducks to play base ball, however, and the game was called off. This scant preview of the respective teams hints that the Oregon fielding can give a substantial backing for the man on the mound. These five pitchers will be feeding their specialties down the groove to Bill Calvert, Jim Rathbun, and Bud Walker, tak ing turns behind the plate. If they don’t get too much inter ference from the northern slug gers, the Duck batsmen can well be expected to put pepper on the pill. Poor practice conditions and sore pitching arms have put gum in the Duck feathers but sound hitting power and experienced fielding should comb it out today and tomorrow. The traveling squad includes: pitchers—C arlo Apa, Nick Beb pitchers—Carlo Apa, Nick Beg and Monroe Karterman; catch ers—Bill Calvert, Jim Rathbun, ana Bud Walker; infielders — Chuck Clifford, Tini Smith, Burke Austin, Jack Shimshak, Bill Hamel, and Buck Berry; outfielders—Hank Burns, John Bubalo, Bill Carney, and Cap tain Dick Whitman.

Steers Takes Crack At Record Tonight By JOHNNY RAKANANH Tonight Les Steers takes a fling at the world high jump record. He jumps in Portland during the annual Hill Military academy relays. Coach Bill Hayward, Steers, and the latter’s jumping mate, Bill Beifuss, left Eugene for Portland yesterday. Steers has already unofficially erased the (5 feet O’j, inch indoor mark held by Mel Walker and Ed Burke, and has done the same for the 6 feet 93± outdoor world mark hung up in 1936 by Cornelius Johnson and Dave Albritton. Tak ing off in the Igloo between halves of a recent conference basketball game, the prodigious Webfoot jumper did near seven feet “off the record.” Record in Seattle In Seattle last week he got up to 6 feet 73s until a bruised heel forced him to retire, that mark was good enough for a new pavil ion record. In his record try to night, Steers will be wearing an aluminum brace perfected by Hayward to protect the former’s sore feet. Other members of the Web foot track team take it easy today after abbreviated work * outs yesterday, the first decent day for rehearsals in three. Saturday, cindermen from the University of Portland trot into Eugene to apply a preconfer ence test to the Ducks. High Jump Cinched Oregon appears a cinch in the high jump, with Steers and Bei fuss on schedule to perform here Spring, Golf Lure Alphas The coming of spring has turned the fancy of the Alpha hall boys to green lawns, sand traps and water hazards, as 17 members plan to participate in the hall championship competi tion. Dusting off their drivers for the first stages of elimination to day or tomorrow, Alpha’s divot diggers plan the turf slicing fray according to strict tournament rules. The finals will probably be played off Saturday, April 19. Officials of the contest are A1 Powers, chief judge; Frank Briggs, and Bill Endicott, co chairmen. after their Portland exploits to night. The broad jump is in equal ly capable hands, Captain Ehle Rebec to look after business there. - Bill Regner will take “five” from spring football practice to hurl the discus and appears a certain winner in this event. Bob McKinney, ace frosh mid dle distance man last year, is good enough, to knife the piece of string in the 880. Bob Hend ershott should vault higher .than anyone Portland can scrape up. Kenny Oliphant will shed foot ball pads and cleats and team with Bob Keen in the sprints. I-MSwim Advances Sigma. Chi, Sigma.
