An interesting rumor floats arouna the Igloo. It’s been
floating for some time now, but it just now occurred to us
that you might be interested in hearing it. It is, to wit, that
Manny Vezie filed an application for the head football coach
ing job here at the University of Oregon.
We Smell Something
It s just a rumor, I repeat, but it’s interesting, and worth
^ little speculation. If there is any truth in it, we feel griped
to think that no mention was made of it in publicity releases.
There s a smell somewhere.
We’re not trying to open this coaching discussion again.
It took Oregon a week and two athletic meetings to get War
ren and we’re perfectly happy with the choice.
But if Yezie did file an application, and our info comes
from a reliable source, we don’t like it. He was a popular guy
with the players. He’s a darn good coach, too. If you care for
any proof on that you might run your memory back to the
fooball season and a couple of gents called Russ Nowling and
Tony Ci'ish. They were both products of Vezie’s coaching, and
mighty good looking products, too. We’ll leave you with that
though and creep on to another peeve.
And Hoyman, Too
Take Mike Hoyman, and nine-tenth of the colleges in the
country would like to take him as a swimming coach, and
consider his position here.
This will probably burn you just like it did us when we
heard it. Mike worked here as a swimming coach for a good
many years and turned out some pretty fair teams. Know
what he got for his coaching labors? Not one slim dime.
Oh, he got some return for his labors, though. Yes, he got
credit for teaching a three-hour P.E. class. Any university can
afford to hire winning coaching for that kind of money.
Getting Back to Baseball
The column isn’t feeling so sharp this afternoon, so you'll
have to excuse the blasts. We spent the afternoon down on that
mud puddle they call a ball field watching the Ducks paddle
-^past the floundering Idaho Vandals in what was billed as a
ball game.
There were a few things we liked. First, that Oregon
won; second, that the game was over at 5:25 so we could go
home and take a hot bath; and third, a few of the plays
which might be interesting to you.
There was that triple of Kirseh’s in the first inning. Little
Donny Boy blasted a screaming drive far out into the pond
that is center field. He went swirling around first, took about
four steps for second and slipped and fell on his right ear.
Last Ball in the Shrubbery
The center fielder in the meantime was searching diligently
in some shrubbery in center field trying to find the ball, so
Edrscli picks himself up and gets well on liis way to third be
fore the very puzzled Vandal can find the ball.
Then there was Carney’s catch in the fifth. The Vandals
had filled the bases with one away and Dale Clark clouts a
long drive far out into Carney’s district. It had home run
scribbled all over it but Carney backed up to the edge of the
rock pile that lies behind left field on that very fine ball
field, and pulls the drive in over his shoulder.
Some guy on he Idaho bench pipes up, “What is that guy?
A stunt man from a circus?”
Nice Guy, Guy Wicks
We also liked Guy Wicks, Idaho coach, because lie's got
more pep than any man we've seen for some time. The Idaho
boys can also take, a licking without crying. Some of the fans
were razzing the hoys and asking how the potatoes were this
year. A smart reply came back thusly: “We've quit raising
potatoes; it’s sugar beets, now. Sugar shortage.”
Genial Mr. Wicks does not like to have a man strike out
with a bat on his shoulder and could be heard saying such
very emphaticall yseveral times. Which reminds us, after
seeing the job of umpiring done yesterday, wouldn't it be
nice if Spec Burke could drop around today and ump the
game?
And before you start booing the Idaho boys today, remem
ber, they played a double header with Washington Saturday,
Oregon yesterday and today and then move on for Oregon
State Friday and Saturday. Pity ’em.

Battle to Tie
By BILL STRATTON'
Tor the fourth consecutive yeas'
Grant Swan’s Oregon State e.itr
ilermen defeated Colonel Bill Hay
ward's Ducks in the annual re
lays, 5 to 3, giving the Beavers
eight wins to Oregon’s -severs.
There was a 4 to 4 tie in 1934.
The Ducklings split with the
Itooks, 3 to 2, both sacrificing
the three-mile relay.
One reason for the Webfoot
defeat was the shortage of r.:en.
The Ducks had to forfeit the two
mile and four-mile relays because
of lack of distance runners* and
Bob Newland competed against
four Aggies in the high jump.
The only threat to any meet
record was in the high jump. The
four Beaver jumpers totaled 33
feet 7 inches and the meet rec
ord was just one inch higher. They
explained that if they had known
the record while they were com
peting, they would have pushed
Mundie (he extra inch.
While Oregon was short of men
in the distance and high jump
events, the Beavers suffered in
the shot put. Oregon State had
only one man to compete against
he four-man team of Elliot, Shep
ard, Foster, and Regner.
The, Oregons had little trouble
in the shuttle hurdles, and gave
the afternoon a thrilling cli max.
in the mile relay. In this event,
the Webfoot team took art early
lead that made it impossible for
Oregon State’s captain, Tommy
Blair, to pull out of the slump
from the anchor position. This
was perhaps Oregon's most cred
itable performance of the illay.
