Way to Duckling Win
By LEE FLATBERG
The bombarding huts of the freshman baseball team lashed out
hungrily in the late innings of their game with Sweet Home Tuesday
to shove over five runs and put the game in the bag by a 9 to 5 count.
While the spectators were taking that seventh inning stretch, the
frosh unlimbered their bats and punched across five runs to sew

Gerald “Tex” Oliver, in his
fourth year as varsity football
coach at Oregon, will wind up
spring practice for the YVebfoots

this spring in getting enough men

Net Squad
Off Today
For Inland
Coach Paul Washke rounds
up his varsity tennis squad
shortly after noon today for a
swing into the inland empire,
as the YVebfoots crash into the
1941 northern division net cir
cuit.
With Len Clark, northern di
vision singles titlist at the head
of the roster, the Ducks will pull
into Moscow in time for a sched
uled tiff with the Vandals Thurs
day afternoon. They desert the
Idaho campus tomorrow evening
and roll into Pullman, where they
exchange strokes with Washing
ton State's Cougars.
Van Metre Places
With Clark on the Webfoot
varsity are Kermit Smith, a
rangy lad who was ineligible for
competition last year; Frank Ba
ker, a stocky, blond youth who
hails from Olympia, Washington,
and who was king of last year’s
frosh outfit; lanky Johnny Wil
liams, a transfer from Monmouth
college; and Byron Van Metre,
who earned a trip by virtue of a
drawn-out 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 win over
Johnny Kahananui yesterday af
ternoon.
Not much is known of Ida
ho’s prowess, but the Cougars
of Washington State are reput
edly the league’s dark horses.
Team championship of the cir
cuit isn’t decided by any of these
dual encounters, but depends on
the outcome of the northern di
vision playoffs at the end of the
season. Held in Moscow’ last year,
this season the tournament will
be staged in Seattle, with the
Washington Huskies, last year's
winners, playing hosts to the re
mainder of the teams in the cir

For Husky Fiasco
All thoughts of the Oregon State fiasco were left behind as Colonel
Bill Hayward’s determined Ducks turned their attention to the dual
clash with a potent University of Washington at Seattle Saturday.
Oregon will be on an avenging party when they hit the road to the
northern metropolis, as last year the Ducks were clawed savagely
by the Huskies, 77 to 54. Each club claimed seven first, but Wash

Most work this week will be
devoted to the track events, these
weaknesses sticking out like a
sore thumb against the Staters.
Only in the mile relay did the
Ducks show any spark. All field
events proved quite gladdening
to the Oregon mentor.
Hec Edmundson's Huskies are
reputed to be a handful for any
outfit. Recent time trials held in
the Seattle camp are indicative
of this power.
Huskies Have Stars
Kjell Qvale, brilliant Husky
sprinter, marked up a time of
:09.9 in the hundred-yard dash,
but Hayward heard that he has
turned in a much faster record.
Last year Qvale clipped off the
century in :09.7, while he can
also step over the 220-yard dis
tance in short order.
One of Edmundson’s sopho
more stars, Bob Smith, was
clocked in the 220-yard dash at
:21.5, while Two-miler Ed
Brinkley completed his dis
tance in 9:55.6.
The other Husky times were
also above par, though Hayward
felt that they were probably
“padded” in the usual way. all
times being given a bit slower
than actually run.
Letterman Ray Dickson turned
out last week and is expected to
bolster considerably both the
broad jump and hurdles depart
ments. Last year Dickson ran
both the high and low sticks.
