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. Larry Casper, Olsen,
and Bert Giauelli got their official form letters Monday which
ii irmed them that Edwin X. Atherton would recommend that
they be given an extra year of eligibility in ease of transfer.
(bssberg also received another little deal Monday—this time
thong! it’s the Goodman trophy. It’s the honor given to the
on (standing freshman in his fraternity. Gissberg received it for
Ins basketball and baseball and also for his grades—a 2.9
cumulative.

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.

Rook Nine
Beats Frosh
In Final Go
The Oregon State yearling
baseball team made it four
straight when they took the
frosh 3 t-o 2 on Coleman field
Monday, but it took the rooks
ten inlngs to accomplish the
deed.
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.
The game turned out to be a
pitchers’ duel as A1 Wimer and
Bob Newland held the rooks to
three hits while Kay Kiyokawa
and Dick Johnson were settir^
the frosh down with four hits.
The frosh got their first run in
the first inning when Bob Far
row reached first on an error,
went to third on Martini’s single
and scooted home on an error by
McClusky .The rooks evened it up
in the fifth when they shoved one
over on a walk, a passed ball, and
two errors.
The frosh countered with a
tally in the first of the eighth
on doubles by Martini and Pete
Peterson but the rooks evened
it up in their part of the eighth,
again without getting a hit, on
a walk, and two errors.
