Oregon Batters Blast Idaho
Duck
Tracks
By JOHNNY KAHANANUI
More “feelers” will snake out this afternoon, when Ore
gon matches strides with Washington on the Huskies’
cinderpath up in Seattle. Both Wehfoots and Huskies will
be guaging the others' strength. Surveying the entire
situation will be Colonel Bill Hayward of the invading
.Ducks and Hec Edmundson, Husky chief, as they map a
“battle plan” for the big Northern division roundup in
Seattle May 17.
Hof ore the first gun barks on May 17, prognosticators will
have locked heads in a huddle and smoked out the decision.
Kegardless of what they stagger up with, we'll saw the limb
off between us and the trunk and slap the crown on the
whiskers of Jack Wierhauser’s Washington State Clou gars, the
same one they galloped off with last year.
Oregon Favored X, 2, 3 in High Jump
Jn Today’s Duck-Ilusky dual, Oregon will make will make
its bid in the field events, while the Seattle lads should trample
on top in the running jousts. Les Steers. Bill Beifus, and
Jim Harris—Harris climbed over ti feet 4 inches in the Oregon
relays last.Saturday—should make it 1, 2, and 3 for the Ducks
in the high jump.
Captain Ehle Reber and Jones of Washington will prob
ably stir lip a whing-ding dual in the broadjuinp. Reber
sailed 21 feet 7 inches against Portland university earlier
in the season, while Jones drove into the sand a shade
behind Jim Jurkovitch’s 22 feet 9 inches when the Cali
fornia Bears bested the Huskies in Seattle about a month
ago.
JMU Knmey Mioulrt l.apture Wait-Mile Contest
Wobfoot Bob McKinney is pood enough for our money in
the half-mile. Colonel Bill’s sophomore flash washed out Kerin
JSLorli \s Hayward field record with a 2:00.2 effort, this on a
tdoppy day as u brisk wind whisked rain pellets across the
track.
Oregon’s Jake Keicht hiked up to the Husky house with
the "Webfoot squad to bolster up tlie sprint situation, but will
probably encounter some slushy sledding in Smith of Wash
ington. Against California Edmundson’s protege reeled off
:22.2 in the 220. Leicht reputedly has clicked off :09.7 in the
100 and a squeak over 22 in the 220,
New Backboards
Those who snatched a qttick look-see at an Army-Navy
basketball via the newsreels sometime back and saw the
boopmen popping away at a flower-shaped backboard.
Next year the transparent glass boards in the Igloo may
be hauled down in favor of the ungainly usurper, for
basketball's rules committee recently recommended that
these backboards be universally used with intentions of
their becoming official in the near future. Fourteen hours
ox harranguing were required to shove the decision
through. Along with these flower-shaped backboards comes
a molded ball to displace all laced ones.
IHuncks Invited lo Take Fourth Eastern Tour
llohh. has been given the green light, and everything ap
pears clear for the Webfoots to trot onto the Madison Square
pander floor next winter to herald the opening of basketball
in the tremendous Botham arena. The University of Oregon
athletic board's favorable decision makes it fom* years in a
row that the Webfoots show on the garden floor.
This tour assured, the Bucks have only to say the word and
they "II bob back to the Hawaiian islands in the spring of 1944
Io> a l oop series there. Coach Hobby llohson and the Webfoots
made such a hit in the islands on their sojourn there this year
tlm! Craduate Athletic Manager Theodore (Pump) Searle of
the University of Hawaii has extended them another invitation.
Six more days of spring- football practice and the Ducks
will pull off their togs for this term. Inscrutable Tex
Oliver, Webfoot mentor, only grinned when asked of the
possibilities for the coming season. However, from observa
tion and propaganda leaking out of Hayward stadium,
we glean that Oregon should have its most successful year
mice Oliver grabbed ahold of the reins in 1937.
Nothing is definite concerning the grid setup. Jake Leiclit

f'Osli outfit, is proving a rather devastating blocker from his

Ducks Roll Up
16-5 Victory
By TOMMY WRIGHT
Bill Carney (he paid me to put his name first) slapped out
a double for Oregon’s twenty-second hit, and scooted Tony
Crish home from third base for the sixteenth and last run,
as the Webfoots trounced, trampled, and walked on, Idaho’s
hapless Vandals, 16 to 5, on Howe field yesterday.
Pete Igoe, hurling for the Webfoots, wavered only in the
seventh inning1, when the Vandals scared three times. He
allowed only seven well-scattered
hits, and struck out ten.
Oregon’s power hitting Web
foots tangle again today at 3
o’clock on Howe field with the
Idaho 'Vandals.
Nick Begleries is slated to
pitch for the Ducks, with either
Jenkins or Snyder doing the
tossing for Twogood’s crew.
Carney had a field day at the
plate, blasting out four hits in
five trips up, driving in four
runs. Captain Dick Whitman and
Johnny Bubalo each collected
three hits in five trips. In fact
every one of the Webfoots got
one or more hits with the excep
tion of Pete Igoe, the lone Duck
to go hitless. Billy Calvert and
Tony Crisb drove out triples.
Vandals Wilt
Caccia, leadoff man for Ida
ho, greeted Igoe in the opening
of the first with a sharp single
through Hamel, but the Idaho
ans couldn’t punch across a run
until the third.
Don Kirsch started things off
B'ith a bang for the Webfoots
With a line single to left, and nine
men came to the plate before Dal
Bechtol, starting Vandal pitcher,
could get the side out. Whitman,
up behind Kirsch, slapped a
single through shortstop sending
Kirsch to second. Clifford hit a
long fly ball to center. Then Ber
ry connected for a double down
the third base line sending both
baserunners across to tally. Berry
took third on the pitcher’s balk
and scored seconds later when
Bubalo banged out a one-base
hit to center. Carney walked, put
ting Bubalo on second. They ad
vanced on Calvert’s ground ball
to short and scampered home on
Hamel’s single to center.
In the second frame Kirsch
again led off, reaching second on
Caccia’s two-base error. He took
third on the second balk by
Bechtol, and tallied on Berry's
long fly to left.
Idulio Tallies
Idaho scored their first run
in the third after Caoeia had
singled and Clifford booted the
second of his collegiate career.
The Ducks picked up another
score in the third inning, when
Calvert hit a triple and Hamel
connected for a single to right.
Idaho came back with another
score in the fourth on a pair of
singles and a base on balls, "out
the Ducks countered with one
lone run the same inning on an
error, a passed ball, and Carney’s
double along the third base line,
after Lloyd had taken the mound
for Idaho.
Ducks Bang Away
The VVebfoots kept up the at
tack on Lloyd, picking up one
run in the sixth, two in the
seventh, and five in the eighth,
lgoc faltered in the seventh
allowing two walks, hitting a
hatter, and one double by Reed.
Three runs were scored in that
frame, but that was all for the
Vandals, for Igoe retired the
next seven men in order.
Big Otis “Rook” Hilton took
the mound for Idaho in the eighth
and added still more spice to the
encounter with his clown conduct
and crewball anticts.

Freshmen
Tracksters
Eye Salem
While most of the Oregon
campus is basking in the sun,
acquiring a golden glow, the
University of Oregon frosh
track team is slaving in the
sun in hopes of acquiring a
golden glow on times, and dis
tances in track events.
The frosh have a date with the
Salem high school Vikings for
Tuesday on Hayward field, and
plenty of stiff competition is ex
pected from the Salem preppers,
Salem usually has one of the fin
est prep teams in the state.
Coach Ned Johns said that
plans are now going ahead for
his frosh cinder men to take a
trip between now and May 10—•
the date for a second set-to with
the Oregon State Rooks.
Several men have turned in
very creditable performances
for the frosh during workouts.
One of the strongest events of
the frosh funneis is the high
jump where both Bob Newland
and Phil Jackson are clearing
6 feet. In the discus they have
long-throwing freshman, Bill
Deller, who heaved the spear
140 feet in the Eugene, Univer
sity higli meet.
Top point getter was "Happy”
Day. hurdler, who took firsts in
both high and low hurdles, and a
third in the broad-jump. Veryl
Alexander, sprinter, and Stan
Ray, 440 man have both turned
in good times in their events con
sidering weather conditions. Pole
vaulter Rod Munro has been get
ting good height in his event as
has Morrie Riback in the discus.
880-man Sawyer is looking good
in his grind.
