plans to start Bob Kiecier in tne
first Pacific tangle and Pete Igoe
in the. second. 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,

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

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

Briggs, and Bill Endicott, co
chairmen.

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.
