By LEE FLATBERG "HeMo. Nice to be back again, isn’t it? I suppose you all find things about the same. John may be just a little heavier and nicely tanned and Jane may look just a little cuter, but—well, ever thing is about the same. The trees over by Villard are ns beautiful as ever. The turf on Hayward field appears in good shape, too (1 got as far as the track before a burly ath letic manager threw me out) which reminds me that this is a sport column so I'll give with a few facts. Baseball Isn't Over Yet With everyone asking, “What do you think our chances are cgainst Stanford?” and various other football questions, mo.d of us are prone to forget that baseball season sin’t over with yet. And if you don’t believe me, just ask a Brooklynite and he’ll straighten you out. Let’s just take a quick glance back over the summer and see how Oregon's own did in the All American game. If you want to start at the top you can have doe “Flash” Gordon, and mister, who wouldn’t like to have him. The Yankees are in as far as the series is concerned and that will mean plenty of folding money for Joe no matter who wins. Joe’s had a good year. A late count reveals 24 home runs anci a batting percentage of around .280. As for 1 f elding, well, American league sluggers, and special ly the port side hitters, are still cursing the day that Gordon turned up to show New York what he could do, He robs more hitters of their hits and there is nothing a ball player loves more than his hits. From last year’s crop, who won the Pacific Northwest base ball crown, we find that several have had good seasons with clubs here iai the state.

John ny Bubalo, sophomore star who filled in about everywhere on last year’s squad, played for Bend this summer and had one of the best years of his career. Bill Hamel, shortstop from the 1941 edition of Oregon base ball. played for Eugene and turned in what one sports writer termed a spectacular season. What About Football? ►So you’d like to know how Coach Tex Oliver’s football team stacks up with the other teams on the coast? Well, brother, so would I. Hayward field these days is about as hard to get into as the United States mint. Tex has a scant two, maybe three days to put the finishing touches on the squad before they travel south to mix with Stanford and that confounded “T,” and he wants privacy in which to do it. A favorite sports columnist of mine in talking of the team said, “They’re a nice bunch of boys,” and in the next breath went on to say, “and they’ve got more guts and fighting spirit than any other Oregon team I’ve ever seen in all my days of bumming around Hayward field.” If we only had Hymie Harris, Roy Ell, and Jake Leicht back again (I’m dreaming again) and could get a few decent breaks, the Webfoots could give the Palo Alto Redskins a busy afternoon next Saturday. Right now Coach Oliver is stressing an offense and letting the defensive plans wait till the last. One might think that he plans on keeping Oregon right up there with Stanford in the scoring column. However it goes, here’s some advice—keep your money in your pocket and be sure to switch your radio on Saturday after noon about two bells. A Fine Coaching Staff You’ll have to do a lot of searching with a fine tooth comb to find a coaching staff on the coast that will beat what Ore gon has now. Taking care of the ends is Mannie Yezie, a pretty good end in his own right and a coach who will get the limit out of any player. Tutoring the tackles, guards and centers is Vaughn Corley, who has turned out some pretty tough linesmen in his coaching day. (I still remember a fellow named Jim Stuart, who played some pretty fair ball.) Han dling the backfield is Mike Mikulak (pardon the insubordance Lieutenant) who is on leave from Fort Lewis. More of those rumors, seems I never get around, say Mike is doing a won derful job and those high scoring sprees in the two scrim mages might verify that in part. l’ut that staff under the veteran hand of a head coach like Oliver and you’ve got something. Oregon Faces ~ Tough Schedule Coach “Tex” Oliver chewed off a big mouthful for his 1941 football edition when the pres ent schedule was drawn up. As if six conference games weren’t enough, the Webfoots have a King’s-X game with Francis Schmidt's modernized Vandals and two-non-
