McKee Shelled By SAEs Pi Kaps Drop IM Tilt, 5-2 Betas Blast Kirkwood, 16-0 SAE 5, Ti Kap 2. A flurry of hits and the col lapse of his defense ended the mastery of Harvey McKee over the softball leagues yesterday. The SAEs evidently hadn’t read McKee’s press notices be cause they teed off in the first inning and garnered three runs on a walk, an error, and two hits. Mike Kelly walked, Marsh Hayes was safe on the first of the many Pi Kap errors, and then Vic Townsend doubled, scoring both runners. Townsend went to third when the outfield juggled the ball and scored on Ellis Halling's double. Assault Continues The assault continued in the second as Ken Roden walked, went to third on Fu Hartzell’s single and scored on a long fly. In the third the last SAE run tallied when Hayes walked, stole Second, and scored on Halling’s second hit of the game. Fu Hartzell hurled his best game of the season as he held the Pi Kap sluggers in check until the last inning. The Pi Kaps fin ally found the range in the sev enth and drove across two runs. The game ended with the bases leaded as Pi Ka.p pinch-hitter Tommy Roblin flied out. No-Hitter for Skelly Skip Skelly pitched a no-hit no-run game as the Delts white washed the Chi Psi lodge, 4 to 0. Skelly pitched steady ball and the lodgeman couldn’t hit him solidly. The Delts scored one in the second on two hits and an infield error. Three hits in the fourth drove in two more tallies and the Delts ended their scoring in the fifth with a walk, an error, and a hit. Matt Pavalunas twirled the Betas to an easy 16 to 0 win over the undermanned Kirk wood coop. Pavalunas allowed only two hits and struck out ten. The Beta bats, paced by Quentin Sidesinger, ran wild in every inning with the aid of a very shaky Kirkwood defense s«ored almost at will. Relief hurler Johnny Mead held the Superchargers in check after they had driven Inky Boe to cover in the fourth and the Sigma Nus went on to win an ex tra inning contest, 4 to 3. The Sigma Nus were aided by the nine errors that the Supercharg ers alleged defense committed. Tommy Wright held the Sigma J^Jus to three hits but his outfield dropped too many fly balls. Six runs in the wild fourth was the winning margin as the Yeo men dumped Alpha, 6 to 3. Alpha scored in the first, third, and sixth but couldn't muster enough runs to match the winning rally. Sherry Ross dropped another sloppy ball game to the Alder club, 12 to 2. Seven runs in the second was the high point in the club scoring. Scores: Pi Kaps . 000 000 2— 2 SAE. 311 000 x— 5 McKee and Formosa; Hartzell and Hayes. Oregon’s varsity golf team has lost only one tourney in confer ence play this season. Pullman Lures Ducks Thinclads To Flash InNDGo When the Southern Pa cific train pulls out of the Eugene station today noon it will have on it 16 hope ful persons, Pullman bound. Colonel Bill Hayward, Man ager Frank Meek, and four teen Webfoot athletes will be the 16 persons with which we are concerned. Their des tination—Pullman's Rodg ers field—is to be the gath ering place of the Northwest track meet for this year. With terrific odds confronting his squad in the form of the pow erful Washington and Washing ton State teams, Coach Hayward is looking for no better than a third place. No Chance . . . Unless “We won’t have any chance against Washington and Wash ington State unless they drop dead, but we will beat every one else, including the Aggies,’’ the veteran Duck mentor de clared in a parting declara tion. Last year Oregon coasted in ahead of Oregon State, cbale ipg up a total of 31 points while the Beavers best efforts accrued tply 18. First places numbered two, in the javelin and pole vault, and were won by Boyd Brown and Rod Hansen, respec tively. Brown, incidentally, es tablished a new mark ,n the spear-throw with a toss of 113 feet, 3 feet, 7 inches above the old record. Oregon's only sure bet is X.t a Steers, the high-flying pit man. [f conditions are in any way fa vorable Steers is pretty certain to crack the old mark of 6 feet 5U inches set by Vandensiay, Washington, in 193G. Heaping I,eg should place quite high in thfl javelin as well. His best throw this year was over 387 feet. Frosh-Rook Fued Flares Here Today Third Duckling Stab May Bring First Win Baby Beaver Moundmen Too Deceptive For Warren's Nine in Two Previous Tiffs; Simonson Is Probable Yearling Twirler The Oregon Duckling baseball team will make its stab at trying to grab a win from the Oregon State rooks this afternoon when they tangle with the yearlings from Corvallis at 3:30 on Howe field. Twice beaten, 4 to 2, and 6 to 3 by Dick Johnson and Kay Kiyoka\.«i, rook pitchers, the frosh will have to uncork some hitting today of a better caliber than they have thus far shown. The pair of rook hurlers have limited the frosh to 14 sai ties and only one of these blows has been for extra bases. The big guns on the rook squad that is favored to make it number three, are Joe Kato who had broken up both games already, and Somekawa. Pitcher Unnamed John Warren refrained from naming his starting pitcher but it will probably be Kiki Simon sen. To handle the slants of Sim onsen will be Pete Peterson, Slated for the infield are Dick Burns at first, Bill Bishop at second, Bob Farrow at short, and Ed Crane at third. In the outfield it will be Bob Ballard, Tom Oxman, and George Sertic. For Bud Forrester’s clan it will probably be Dick Johnson on the mound with Yama completing the battery. The final tussle of the four game series will be played in Cor vallis on Coleman field Saturday. Chi Psi.uuo uuu— u Delts . 010 21x—- 4 Hickey and Fenton; Skelly and Bockes.

Mr. Button has been an employ er of Mari Medill, member of the class. UO Netsters Eye Orange Oregon’s varsity netsters smashed Montana 6 matches to 1 here Wednesday in an im promptu duel, and yesterday flocked out to the University courts to rehearse for Satur day’s Oregon State battle here in Eugene, for Tuesday's Din fieid tourney there, and for the pending Northern division roundup coming off in Seattle 3Iay 23. Len Clark and. Kerm Smith kept their No. 1 doubles slate spotless after Wednesday’s joust, serving warning to other league doubles combines when they hop onto the courts in Seattle for the Northern division playoffs, the payoff in this year’s tennis cam paign. Clark Looks Better Clark’s singles outlook took a twist for the better, as the No. 1 Oregon net man smashed Bade wit/., top Grizzly player, with amazing ease. Clark’s playing earlier this season gave Duck net fans a 6tart and set the former's Northern division singles crown to tottering on his brow. Frank Baker, No. 3 Webfoot, shows a lot of promise. Built close to the ground and all in one piece, he skirts around the courts for every shot his opponent whiffs over the net. Baker has a pretty good service, and will be a world beater when his shots start nick ing the side and backcourt lines with regularity. Smith, in No. 2, has improved considerably this season, espe cially at the net. Long and drawn out, he appears ready to trip himself whenever be whirls about. However, he manages to hang together and usually can out-anticipate his opponent. Prepsters Check in For State Track Tiff Eight prep track districts from Oregon hung out storm warnings last night as bally hoo experts from all over the state blew high the publicity bubble of Medford’s Black Tor nado, defending state prep track and field champions. Right bahind the men from Medford say those who build castles in the air for the prep pers, will be Milton-Freewater, and they in turn will be dogged by Bend, ancT possibly Beaverton. The main basis for picking the Medford and Mac-Hi teams to finish first and second in the two day fiesta are the individual per formances of the star perform ers, Wally Still for Mac-Hi, and Ray Johnson for Medford. 440-Star Ready Prep track circles have been in a dither for the past weeks while rehashing and retelling of the performances of this pair. Johnson, who runs the slickest quarter mile in t?re state, to date, is expected to pinch a second or so off Ms nun record time. He also anchors his relay team and is expected to give St Hi a bagful of trouble in the 220. Still ail year has been further charring the cinder's he runs on, with the clock leading around 9.9 for the 100, and 22. for 1 he 220. As times go in high school aides those times aren’t exactly loafing. Four titles will have their win ners out to woo them again when the starting guns begin to boom on Hayward field. Stu Schweit zer of Adrian will again draw the champion’s lane for the tow hurdles. Ted Hoover of Toledo, champ javelin flinger, also ic turns. The aforementioned Still and Johnson will be alter their own 100, and 440 titles.
