Track Squad
Eyes Relays;
Regner Drills
The early week track work
outs have been light but the Hay
ward men have their eye on the
time trials slated for Saturday
and the Oregon State relays the
following weekend.
Shifting of the northern divi
sion schedule up a week has giv en
the Ducks an extra week of prac
tice before the Beaver meet.
Although dubbed underdogs in
the successful Portland fracas,
they swept the Pilots, taking 11 of
15 firsts. The squad will pos
sibly be stronger for the relays,
with the addition of big Bill Reg
ner in the weight department and
the return of hurdler Ralph Kra
mer who is rapidly overcoming a
leg injury encountered before the
Pilot meet.
New . Weight Man
Another addition in the weight
department is that of Bill May
ther, a freshman. He is out for
spring football at present but
will turn out regularly for track
is soon as the spring drills are
concluded.
According to the Barometer,
Beaver Bob Fischer is out to
shatter Iris coach’s record in the

Swan, set the record at 4:10.4

One of Colonel Bill Haywards’
throe returning lettermen lids
reason is Francis Tuckwiler,’
•Tuck” for short.
Last year was Tuckwilcr’s first
rear at Oregon, or chances are
lie would have earned more than
one letter under the Hayward
rule. Tuck explained that he did
not go to the Pacific Coast con
ference meet last year, but
earned 10 or 12 points in the
northern division meets for his
monogram.
Before coming to Oregon -he
ittended Pasadena junior college
for two years, competing in track
'vents both years. He did not
unass enough points for his let
er the*first year, but was sue
’essful during His last year in
hat institution.
California Track
According' to Tuckwiler, there
is more interest in track in Cali
fornia than there is in the north
ern division. One of the principal
reasons for the enthusiasm, he
explained, is because there is a
longer season in the south and
the schools can offer more schol
arships for their athletes. He
said that Pasadena JC's first meet
was early in March last year,
and they are able to start work
ing out of doors in late January
or February. The longer season
allows at least a dozen meets a
year.
Thus far in the 1942 season,
Tuckwiler has been juggled from
one event to another. He has been
running the 880, lit), and 220.
lie explained that he likes the
quarter mile event the best. He
was anchor man on the relay
team last year.
Hayward Tops
Having run under four coaches,
and observed many others, Tuck
thinks that Hayward is as good
as they come. He believes that
he has learned more from Colo
nel Bill than he could from any
other coach. Says Tuck, "I think
Bill is tops."
Tuckwiler is a native Orego
nian. He was born in Portland,
attending Hill Military acad
emy and competing in track
there. He is a journalism major,
but will be working for Uncle
Sam come next fall. He is en
listed in V-7, and will complete
his undergraduate work this
spring. Radio news editing or
sports writing is his ambition as
soon as he gets rid of the Japs.
Duck Victory
By LEE FLATBERG
Oregon’s heavy artillery rum
bled ominously in three different
innings yesterday on Howe field
to pound out seven lusty blows
which coupled with costly errors
by the Pacific nine, netted the
Ducks a half dozen runs and a (j
jto 0 shutout victory over the
Badgers.
And while Duck batters were
pounding the offerings of Port
sider Bill Lee, Pacific hurler, far
and wide, “Sandy” Sandgren and
A1 Wimer muffled the bats of
the visitors with six scattered
singles. Not to be outdone the
infield pulled out of their defen
sive slump to serve up their best
fielding of the year.
Ducks Grab Lead
The Ducks grabbed a lead in
the bottom half of the second
when Dick Whitman’s sharp drive
to left field evaded the fielder
and rolled to the bank to go as
a home run.
They heaped three more runs
on in the fourth with one hit
arid some poor playing by Pa
cific. Don Kirsch reached first
on an error by the shortstop,
then advanced to second when
Whitman was hit by' a pitched
bali. The second baseman boot
ed Bill Carney’s drive and
Kirsch scored and Carney
moved to second. Carney moved
down to second on a passed
ball and then Johnny Bubalo
cleared the bases with a long
single.
Kirsch Hits Homer
Lee gained control of matters
again till the last of the eighth
when things really happened.
Kirsch stepped up and lashed out
a long drive over the left field
bank for a home run. Whitman
flied out and Carney strolled ufflf'
picked out one he liked, and poled
it over the left-center field bank.
Farrow clouted a long double over
second but died on base.
Sandgren, who started for
the Ducks, left the mound in
the sixth for Wimer, after set
ting the Badgers down for six
innings with four hits. He had
beautiful support. In the fourth
he got in a hole with men on
first and tlRrd and none gone.
A pitchout and quick throw
erased one runner and “Sandy”
pulled out of the hole. Again in
the sixth two straight singles
with none out put him in a bad
spot but again a neat bit of
fielding saved him. It was a

'O ’Men Plan
Gala Opener
With blossoms blooming' and
the sun spraying its heat over
the campus, baseball is king'
again.
Members of Order of the ‘O,"
under Ken Oliphant, chairman,
have been planning a gala open
ing for the Oregon-Oregon State
game this Friday.
Len Surles is in charge of the
prizes that will be awarded by
the local merchants for the first
run, first hit, and so forth.
Surles is also arranging the de
tails for the initiation of the first
year lettermen and also the pro
gram. Bill Regner has charge of
the campus parade and pre-game
advertising.
