Duck
Tracks
By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports
“Ha’s my favorite shortstop from now on,” exclaimed
Nick Begleries, referring- to Bill Hamel and his ninth
inning homer which saved Little Nick’s ball game and sent
a crowd of fans into a bedlam of cheering- and confusion.
llamel established himself as a probable possessor of the
shortstop job for today’s tiff with Washington State. If Hamel
Iteeps Ids hitting pace up, Tini Smith will have to hustle to
Jiold his newly-won position for the rest of the season.
Buck Bailey clowned all over the diamond in mild
fashion today as compared with his antics in previous
years. No buckets were smashed, only two bats were shat
tered, and charges across the diamond were infrequent.
The ball game played second fiddle to the great one-ring
circus though, for fans struggled for seats behind the
Washington State bench to get closer to him.
Several times lie made bull-like charges across the space
to the umpire, Spec Burke, to shout bis rage at a decision,
fcut be was still mild, perhaps his married life lias tamed him.
He was married a couple of years ago, and since then ho has
fceen guilty of no excesses of rage such as lofting a water
bucket toward the ATO house.
Bailey Scolds Sewell
Bailey was irate following the game. As lie moved
machine-like to the locker rooms with his pitcher, Bill
Sewell, he muttered, “You ., why did you
throw that inside pitch? I told you not to.” And Sewell
walked on in, wishing, perhaps, that he had intentionally
walked Hamel. Sewell pitched a good game at times, but
the tough Oregon batting power made mincemeat of his
offerings as they have of all other pitchers with the excep
tion of Clayton Shaw.
If Left Fielder Johnny Hooper, brother of the basketball
flayers and himself a hooper, hadn't moved in so far on
if. am el’s hit, the story might have been written differently.
|( v,•.(> one of the first times that he showed any hustle. That
ircrtmrk can b > attributed to nearly all the club, however. The
entire team lacks the vigor and pep of Oregon, Oregon State,
and even cellar-dwelling Idaho.
Halev to Run Saturday for WSC
Pat Haley, the best sprinter in the northwest and one
of the best quarter-milers on the coast, will provide thrills
to track lovers Saturday on Hayward field. Haley is the
big gun on the WSC cinder squad. He is a sophomore and
has done :09.5 in the 109 so far this year. His time in the
220 dash and low hurdles is among the best of the coast
also. He has done :47 plus in the 410 which is just a trifle
slower than the best time of Grover Klemmer of California.
Oregon should come in with 10 or 35 more points Saturday
than the Hacks collected against Washington. The Huskies
t»ave tlit> best times and marks so far. It all depends on what
caces llaley runs. If he enters the sprints, then Oregon’s
Frances Tuekwilor should take the 440, and vice-versa. Jake
C/eicht might come in first in the 100 and 220.
Gradually, very gradually, the Duck track team has built
itself up. It is no longer so pitifully weak as it was three
weeks ago. Bill Regner is picking up in the discus. He is
coming around 135 feet now in his throws which is short
of his 152 in his freshman year, hut it is an improvement
over the past season's marks. Football’s bodily contact
has taken its toll of his shoulder muscles.
Leiclit is improving in the sprints. Zenos Buter, Les Steers,
and now Bay Hickson are improving in the high hurdles. The
only thing Colonel Bill Hayward really lacks to an intense
degree is a good distance man. Oregon has none and shows
little chance of getting one. Bill Boss is usually good for a
iseeond in the two-mile, but not a first place.
Short Shots
{Sidelights: Bailey may open up today and throw everything
into the bleachers, if bis team lias tough luck. He looks like
Maurice Tillet, the French wrestler who is better known as
tlio ‘; Angel.’'
Calc Ferris, Oregon’s 160-pound boxer of a couple of years
ago, was back on the campus yesterday. Ferris was captain
of the Mitt and Mat club.

Co-op Nips
Alpha Gams
In a game that looked more
like a track meet, a strong
Co-op team outplayed, outran,
and outyelled the Alpha Gams,
30 to 3.
Circuit hits were plentiful as
three Co-op players, Curry, Blen
kinsop, and Carson, each con
nected for homers.
This victory puts the Co-ops
up among the undefeated teams,
and sets them up as a strong
challenger for the softball crown,
last year won by the ADPis.

in tne second game the Pi Phis
defaulted to the ADPis.
The frosh baseball team came
up with some heads-up ball
playing under the lights on the
civic stadium diamond Wednes
day night to stretch six hits
into seven runs and ding the
Eugene Athletic club, 7 to 4.
The yearling nine had to come
from behind twice in the seven
inning game. After tying it up
in the fourth at four all, the Duck
ling batters leaped on the offer
ing of “Smokey Joe” Spenser in
the sixth for two lusty blows
along with a walk to push two
runs over. To put the clincher on,
the yearlings added another in
the seventh. Bob Ballard was
safely perched on first after
striking out and reaching first on
a passed ball. Ballard then pro
ceeded around the circuit on
passed balls and scored.
Winter Relieves
The Athletic batters gathered
eight hits off Kiki Simonsen
in his five innings on the mound,
but the yearling pitcher kept the
hits well scattered to allow but
four runs. A1 Wimer took over
in the sixth and for the last two
innings showed plenty of stuff.
The lefthander allowed no hits
and retired three batters via
strikeouts.
The frosh infield, which had
been performing like a sieve
for the last several ga mes, fin
ally tightened up. Bob Farrow
covered plenty of ground at
the short stop spot, handling
six assists without a bobble.
Batting laurels for the game
went to Kenny Kling and Niggy
Mebius of the Athletics who each
■collected two hits in four trips.
