field events, including the pole
vault, high jump, weights, jave
lin, and broad jump will be staged
Saturday and in the final trials
Wednesday.
All the events were run short
today, hut Hayward announced
that he would probably run the
regular distances in the trials
Saturday.
The 75-yard dash, which has
taken the place of the 100, was
won by Ralph Kramer. Tuck
wilor, second; Butler, third;
Simpson, fourth; Alexander, fifth;
Day, sixth.
tO Sprints
There was no 220. The 300-yard
race, replacing the -110, was won
by l-'.d Reiner, titan Ray was sec
ond.
The 000, an abbreviated form
of the half mile, was won by
Don Wilson. Boylon (fresh
man), second; Shelton, third;
Weills, fourth.
The three-quarter mile, in
place of the mile event, was won
by Wilfred Ross who usually runs
tae two mile. Bruce Maxey was

Simpson, fourth. There wore five
hurdles, with 10 yard's between
them and a 15-ya,-d start and fin
ish.
Old Sol played the Webfoots a
favor Wednesday and the track
was fast and dry. Bob McKinney
was the official staiter. He was
graced with two managers yes
terday, but there still is a need
for more.

election; a statesman of the next
generation.
Track Managers
Needed
There is sliil a need for
more track managers. Anyone
interested should contact eith
er Coach Hayward or Bob Mc
Kinney within the next few
days.
Some of llio frosli track aspir
ants rail in the time trials with
the varsity Wednesday, blit most
of them worked out on the lower
end of the trai l;, under the tutel
age of Bob McKinney.
Because of the abundance of
sprinters on the varsity, as well
us the frosli squad, the year
lings were forced to run a sep
arate heat. The 75-yard event was
won by Wally Still. Herb L:\w
rence was second, Willis Elliot
third, Leroy Weinstein fourth.
The entire frosh squad, with
the exception of tlie field men,
were massed at the lower end of
Hayward field yesterday and run
through the mill by Bob McKin
ney.
None of the runners were seg
regated, and they all ran short
sprints.

Mrs. Paul Friday, district presi
dent of Kappa Alpha Theta, has
been a guest at the Theta house
since Monday. She will leave Fri
day morning.
double header with Willamette at
Salem, Saturday, stays intact.
Duck Hitting Strong
An abundance of hitting power
is possessed by the Webfoots,
Hobson declared this week. His
pitching he describes as “fair,”
and comments favorably on the
fielding defense.
The lineup which Hobson
will employ against the Pilots
today probably will have Bill
Carney in left field, Dick Whit
man in center, and Hank Burns
in right. Infield should stack
up with John Bubalo at first,
Don Kirsch at second, Bob Far
row at shortstop, and Bill Ha
mel at third.
The opening backstop assign
ment will rest between Ted Pilip,
Portland U transfer, and Bill Mc
Kevitt, junior from last year’s
team.
No Pitcher Named
No pitcher has been named by
Hobson who has the following
on hand: Bob Rieder, Nick
Begleries, Bill Thompson, A1 Wi
mer, Nelson Sandgren, Marty
Conlin, and Earle Russell.
Pilots Cop One
Revenge will be in order when
the Ducks meet with the Pilots. A
year ago Portland slipped over
a fast one when they captured
the second contest 11 to 9 after
dropping the first tilt to Oregon
6 to 5.
Reports have it that the Pi
lots are built around seven
veterans while the remaining
men are comparatively untried.
These lettermen are Vince Pes
ky, pitcher; Bob Carney, catch
er; Jack Drath, first base;
Carl Ewing, shortstop; Stewart
Munsey, third base; Jack Fried
hoff and Wilfred Gallagher,
outfielders.
Coach R. L. (Matty) Mathews
also has Bernie Harrington, A1
Decker, Bob Deagel, Sanford
Shapkin, and Harry Foltz as
chuckers.

Another fielding and batting
practice occupied the attention
of the University of Oregon
freshman baseballers yesterday.
The Ducklings open their season
Friday, April 10, against Frank
lin high of Portland. The game
will be played at Eugene.
Frosh coach “Honest John”
Warren knocked the ball around
to his infielders and outfielders
in a lengthy drill, and declared
that his team looked good de
fensively.
According to Warren the
freshmen lack batting punch, and
he plans to occupy his attention in
improving the hitting of his
players.
