Huskies Down Webfoot Nine, 6 to 3 I -es Steers steps into fast company—plenty fast—next Sat in lay. May 24 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. No longer will lie be matching his jumping form against lesser competition which strives—ami usually fails to clear G feet 3 inches. In the first annual Los Angeles relays, Steers will find iiis old jumping foe, Jolmny Wilson, with whom he cleared G feet 9% last year. In addition there are Gil LaCava who cleared 6 feet 6 it;, high school, H. J. Boydston who soared over 6 feet 9 this spring- for Oklahoma A. and M., and Bill Stewart wuo wiggled over € feet 10% inches this spring for the Southern California Athletic association. L u ll of tlie.se four will be out there to give Steers a rough time in clearing the high jump bar. The fact that Steers holds the world record at G feet 10 25-32 inches is enough to make anyone of these envious. With all the competetion—its the best in. the nation—Steers should have the incentive to get up around seven feet. Bidder Surprised 7:0nos Butler, colored transfer hurdler from Long Beach jayuee, did well Monday in gathering points for Oregon. As BuMer put it, “I had the old zing in my legs..I really felt like runnin’ for the first time this year.” Butler was leading Pat Haley at the eighth hurdle in tin* lows, then when Steers shouted, ‘ Loosen up, Butler,” Ilaley moved on past Butler. “Those boys are really goin’ to have to run those hurdles down in Berkeley to beat me,” emphasized Butler after reading the results of the meets Saturday down south. Butler has gone over the highs in less than 15 seconds when he was capering- down in jaysee circles. Leichl Pulls Muscle flake Leielit ran into a mite of tough luck in the northern tlivj >ion meet. In tin* 100-yard sprint, Leielit got off to a slaw* start, then just as he was pulling up with Messrs. Pat Haley, Kjvtl. Qvale, and Bob Smith at the 70-yard mark, things began to happen, The cold weather was too much. Leielit pulled up WirI. either a torn or pulled muscle. Naturally, this threw him pid of the 220 also. With Leicht out of the springs, Oregon saw some five 0 six sure points slip by the boards—enough to nose out Idaho for third place. Still and all the surprise of the tv.eet was Butler. Boyd and Olsen Punt 1 rank Loyd and Larry Olsen are the top punters on Oregon's grid squad this spring from pratdiees last night. Loyd and 0(-'ll (Olsen’s ineligible unfortunately sent out high, tower ing punts time and again which went out of bounds along the five and ten-yard line. Each time from the time the ball left the center’s hands until it left the punter’s foot the time elapsing in Boyd's and Olsen’s case was from 2 seconds to 2.2. Once in a while o ne of the duo would get off a thumping boot in less than 2 seconds. Gissberg Given Award Ihll Gissberg, Inky Log Lob Sheridan.

Oregon . 9 4 .692 Washington. 8 4 .666 Oregon State. 8 6 .576 Idaho. 2 7 .222 Washington State ..2 S .200 University of Washington’s comeback Husky baseball team remained undefeated on their home field, as they hijacked the Oregon slugging Webfoots 6 to 3 for the second straight time in Seattle yesterday. Oregon lost Monday, 5 to 4. The win placed the upswinging Huskies within half a game of the league leading Webfoots, and sent the Hobson proteges home ward with two wins and three losses on a disastrous invasion of Washington and Idaho. The Ducks scored first in the third inning, scooting a pair of nans across, but the Huskies came back in their half of the third to tie the score. The Seattle ites picked up three more in the fourth and one in the sixth, while Oregon could account for only one more run, which came in the eighth. Jorgenson, pitching for Wash ington, allowed nine hits, but three errors by the Webfoot de fensive did no help to Oregon’s championship hopes. Nick Begleries started on the mound for the Ducks but was re lieved by Rieder too late to save the ball game. Husky hitters col lected 12 hits off Oregon’s pitch ing duo to keep their home record clear for the season. The loss threw a crimp into Oregon’s hopes for the Northern division pennant, and brought the Washington nine within easy leach of at least a first place tie for the top honors.

Things were even up at the end of the ninth and the frosh failed to ring up any counters in their half of the tenth. Then with one away in the last half Brown walked, stole s f :ond, went to third on a passed ball and scored on an error.
