Duck-Beaver Tilt Set Saturday At 2 Baseball fans hang onto your hats! For this Saturday on Howe field the old Oregon-Oregon State feud is brewing. A lot more is at stake than just the usual “grudges” which per meates tha air when Duck-Beaver clans get to “inixin’ it up.” For upon Saturday’s game, and one at Corvallis Monday, rests Oregon’s Jiopes of maintaining their slim one-game lead long enough to grab off tlr t prize cherry—the northern division crown. Washington, with an impressive Inte-season record adding pres tige, has drawn up to within one game of the pace-setting Ducks. The Huskies must get past the Idaho Vandal and Washington fttate Cougar hurdles, each twice, »n order to jump into a tie1 with the W'ebfoots, providing the lat^’ ter can bowl over DSC : both times.

He probably will start his work-horse righthander diminu tive Nick Begleries --in Satur day’s tilt in hopes of coll&ring the Beavers, who had the bottom drop out of their championship dream boat last week when they lost five out of six tiffs. There is hardly any question to whom cagey old Ralph Cole man, OSC generalissimo, will call on to oppose Begleries. Glenn Elliott, senior left-hand star \\!io beat the Ducks once and then received a lacing his next appearance, will undoubt edly get the nod. Portsider Elliott took the first tilt from Oregon at Corvallis in the season’s opener, 2 to 1, in a elrse chucking duel with Beg leries. Then Elliott had his first defeat tacked on by the Ducks a few weeks later when he relieved Gene Williams in the tenth, only to have Captain Bill Caffrey poke out a home run to give our boys •a 6 to 5 triumph. It will be the farewell home shewing for four of the Ducks, Who depart with gradddWon in June. Those singing fhWf swan fiong are Captain Carney, Center fielder Dick Whitman, Pitcher Boh Rieder, and Catcher Ted Pi lip. Remaining Duck limhlp will t»e John Btihnlo, first hiise; Don Kirsch, second base; Bob Ear row, shortstop; Bill Hamel, third base; and l)U“k Burns, right field.

Webfoot Trackmen« Eye ND Competition Oregon’s varsity trackmen head for Seattle and the northern di vision meet Friday, leaving behind them the memories of a more successful season than was expected. This year’s squad was rated the worst in Oregon track history, but they improved steadily to produce the biggest upset of the year when they waxed Oregon State, 81 to 50, Saturday on Hayward field. The ND competition will be the supreme test.

This is his first year as tennis coach. Cutler graduated from UCLA in 1930 with BA degree and came to Oregon to get his master’s de gree in science in 1934. He needs only his written thesis to obtain his Pli.D. it is expected to be a fiery feud. Ray Weston of Oregon State will also be in line for individual hon ors. It is the opinion cf the team, that if they keep up their present pace, they will win the flag, but it is going to be a hard fought match all the way.

Frosh Have Successful Track Year Although the frosh track squad has had only three meets this year, winning one, tying anothej, and losing the most important— the Oregon State dual meet last Saturday, 65 to 56 in a nip and tuck battle—the squad has pro duced some future varsity ma terial. Undoubtedly the most out standing man on the yearling squad is Wally Still, former Mac hi star. He is essentially a sprin ter, but has recently taken up the javelin. He was mainly responsible for the tie with the Rooks in the relays, gathered 10 % points in the triangular meet against Eugene and University High schools that the frosh walked away with, and was the princi pal threat against the Rooks in the dual meet, again collect ing 16 % points. Bill Davis He is not the only promising yearling, however. Always press ing Still in the sprints is Bill Da vis, former Grants Pass triple threat. He is also entered in the broad jump and can compete with anyone on the varsity at present. Another promising broad jumper and high jumper is When they travel Friday, only those most apt to collect points will make the trip. The traveling' squad for the Cougar tussle waii^' small, but this one tops it all, only 11 competitors, coach, mana ger, and trainer. Complete Squad The complete squad includes: Zenas Butler, Chuck Elliot, War ren Finke, Ralph Kramer, Bob Kewland, Stan Ray, Bill Regner, Homer Thomas, Francis Tuckwi ler, Don Wilson, Bob Simpson, Manager Bcb McKinney, Coach Bill Hayward, and Trainer Bob Officer. Before their first meet with Portland university, Colonel Bill expressed little hope for the Ducks, but they swept 11 of 15 firsts to wax the Pilots, ^ 89 to 42. Negro sprinting and hurdling star, Zenas Butler, was the star of the meet, tak ing four first places. Lose Relays Their next meet was against Oregon State in the annual re lays at Corvallis. An under manned squad lost, 5 to 3, losing the two-mile and four-mile re lays by forfeit. They also lost the 440-yard relay and the high jump. Bob Newland was the only Ore gon man entered in the high jump event. His heights added together would have beat the Beavers,’ however. The DucksW won the shot put, shuttle hurdle, and mile relays. When the Ducks met Wash ington, they took their worst beating of the year. The Huskies thundered over the Webfoots, 85 to 46, sweeping 11 of 15 firsts. Washington was rated high, and the walloping was not a surprise. The Ducks traveled to Pullman for their next fracas, and the 14 man squad did better than Colo nel Bill and most Duck fans ex pected. The score stood 46 to 44 for the Cougars before the fiels< events were tabulated, hut they’ spelled victory for the Cougars. The final score was 71 to 60. It was an uneventful meet, partial ly because of the weather, but a dual between Washington State’s Pat Haley and Duck Zenas But ler provided thrills for those present in the high and lew hur dles. Hayward Pleads Colonel Bill pleaded to his boys and told them that he didn't care if they lost every other meet of the year, but he did want them to beat the Aggies in the annual dual meet. They did, walloping the Beavers, 81 to 50. Oregon’s great sophomore, Don Wilson, $ cracked the only varsity record of the day, running the mile in 4:19.2. Butler led the scoring, however, collecting 13 points. lanky Bill Morris. Since he has learned the roll system, he has become one of the best on the frosh squad. He is about cn the level with Davis in the broad jump—around 21 feet. In Field Events Also outstanding in the field events is Ken Jackson in the high jump. He threatens six feet and may do it next year. He has been entered in the sprints because of sheer necessity on two occasions this year. In the middle distances, Tom Boylen, Herb Lawrence, and 1 Selwin Wisdom are the most likely to make the varsity next year. Boylen is outstanding in the half-mile event, while the others are standbys in the 440.
