'43 Gan
Ten major league bail clubs,
unmindful of la1e wintry blasts,
went through their preliminary
ruling season warm-ups Monday.
One day inter, but with a plenti
ful e of thoughts as to liow he
»:• going to retain the champion
bunting won last year, Coach
Howard Hohson issued a call for
.till aspiring baseballers to meet
lira the locker room of the Igloo
this afternoon at 3.
At this meeting Hobson will
meet the prospective club mem
lien, issue equipment, and make
plans for starting actual work
as socn as possible.
Large Turnout Expected
Hobson is looking forward to
o. large turnout because of the
ruling allowing freshmen to com
pel. ■ in varsity sports, and be
cause “all positions are open.''
A nucleus of six letternien
from last year’s championship
tdui» will he on hand around
which Hobby will mould his ’43
contender.
Captain John Bubalo, pitcher,
fust-base man, and outfielder;
Mick Begleries, pitcher; Don
■ICirsch, second base; Bob Farrow,
'short stop; Bill Hamel, third
tn. ; and Dick Burns, first base
and outfield make up the return
ing' lettermen.
Frosh Men Vp
Hp from the frosli of last year
are Roy Carlson, catcher, Art
Murphay, who handled short
.■•■topping duties for the yearlings,
Whitey Lolcan, number one
uioundsmen for the frosh, and
.Dick Brown.
Other reserves from last year
includes Hill McKevitt and Pete
lVterson, both catchers, Tom
Oxman, infielders, and Bill

Cut From
Sport Docket
The athletic hoard lowered the
it. v1' oil tenuis and soil in a recent
meeting and the two sports will
1 stricken from the docket ot
athletic events in which the I ni
sersity of Oregon will participate
this year.
Tilt' move was ma.de. according
t i the committee, because of the
difficulty involved in obtaining
sufficient equipment, and the re
strictions placed on transporta
tion.
The hoard pointed out that
because of these restrictions
some sports would have to he
chopped, and that tennis and
golf were the most likely vic
tims because they ‘‘don’t fit
into (lie physical fitness pro
gram.”
The two sports will continue on
the campus under the guise of in
t’annual activities.
A five-ring sport circus with a
grand finale is the promise of the
intramural program this term.
There will be five separate
sports in which the houses and
organizations can give vent to
their physical efforts.
Swimming Starts Monday
Heading the list, to start prob
ably next Monday, is swimming.
.This event, won by the Betas in
a close bath ttib contest over the
Fijis last year, is scheduled to
cover two weeks of play.
Following swimming will be
softball. The Sigma Nu, who
have always had a sticky fin
ger in the hag of intramural
crowns, took this title last year
from the Sig Eps. Competition
height and heft rather well from
the mound.
Open Against OSC
The season opener for the
Ducks will come against the Bea
vers in Corvallis on April 9.
However, a series of pre-season
games are tentatively drawn up.
including a probable game on
March 29.
The Northern Division sched
ule this year finds the Ducks
opening against the Beavers on
Bell field, and then making a
six-game stay on their own
field before heading on the
dreaded Empire trip.

Oregon State at Corvallis- -

in softball will be much like
that of last year.
Tennis and golf will be added to
the slate for those less hardy in
dividuals.
Obstacle Race
Something new is being added
in the way of an obstacle time
race. The full particulars for this
event have not been figured out
as yet. Some arrangements will
be planned where score can be
kept on the basis of time. It is
probable that the competition
will be between teams with the
average time of a team as the de
termining factor.
The grand finale will be the
Sigma Delta Psi meet, to be
held May 9.
Intramural Director Wilson
urges those who are interested
in the Sigma Delta Psi meet to
start their training as soon as
possible. He said it was possible
that time would be set aside each
day for those interested to work
out. Some PE instructor would be
in charge of the workout and
they would be supervised.
Entry Blanks
Entry blanks for swimming'
are being sent cut of the intra
mural offices this week. Any in
dependent team may secure one
by calling at the intramural of
fices in the PE building.
P Penant?
Huskies Playoff-bound'
" With the Trojans, i.e., Rock, Omalev, and Seminoff and Co., out
of the way and the Coast title in their bulging hind pockets, the crown
seeking Washington Huskies pack their basketball wares and head
East for the national playoff of the NCAA.
Their first stop will be Kansas City where the four finalists
of the Western section will fight for the western crown and the
right to meet the Eastern foe in the finale.
The Kansas City get-together is slated for March 28, 27, and a
couple of the foes will be Texas and those fearful Wyoming Cowboys.
Madison Square
Should the Huskies weather this storm of baskets they head for
the big show in Madison Square Garden where they will play the win
ner of the East's elimination tournament. The date for this big show
is March 29 which means the bunting hunting Huskies will have to
take their rest In concentrated tablets.
Should ihe Washingtonians win this one, as the Ducks did^
in 1939, they are the National Collegiate A A champs. There r* J
mains one big hurdle in their way to claiming renown as the
“best.”
This is the Metropolitan Sports Writers’ Invitation. The Huskies
would play the winners of the Madison Square Invitational and the
winner would be the best in the country in amateur basketball.
It’s a long and tedious trip to be packed into a short three weeks.

Hayward Starts Priming Legmen;
OSC Relays First Run for Ducks
With the generous permission
of Ol' Sol, the Duck thinclads will
start going- through the early sea
son warmups on the cinder paths
of Hayward field this week.
Cagey Bill Hayward, veteran
of ry good many track seasons, has
a turnout of 26 men out of which
to weld some sort of a point-get
ting machine.
Don Wiison
Heading the parade of track
performers is Don Wilson, junior
miler. As a sophomore last year
Wilson churned the cinders very
impressively in the four-lap event
and is considered a good bet for
lots of points in his specialty this
year.
Another vet who looms as a
mainstay is Bob Newland. The
long, lanky blond kicked com
fortably over the six foot mark
in the high jump last year and
is grooming for higher places
this year.
Bob McKinny who was out with
an operation last year and rele
gated to an assistant coach's
place, is back in good shape and
considered a shoo-in for a few
firsts in the half.
The '43 legmen will have a bit
of power also in the sprints with
Skiles Hoffman, a whirlwind on
spikes, Ralph Kramer, who also
does a bit of low flying over the
hurdler, and Ski Skillicorn.
The field events will proba
bly be the weak sister of the
team. Fred Foster, who chuck
ed the shot put last year, is on
hand. There is little else in the
way of talent in the tossing de
partment however.
Warren Finke has not as yet
turned out and could be used
very well in both the shot put and
with the javelin and discus.
Freshmen ?
Colonel Bill has his eyes peeled
on the freshman and has hope of
turning up a few nuggets in the
leg game likeable to Williamson,
Dick, and Wiley.
The thinelads will open their
season against Oregon State in
the annual relays. The run is
scheduled for Corvallis, April
17. The boys will trot against
the always-powerful Huskies in
Seattle on the following Satur
day, April 2-i.
The following Saturday, May
1, they play host to WSC and
their new coach, •'Babe" Holling
bery, here in Eugene. A dual
meet with Oregon State will be
run here May S.
The' final track show of the year
will be the championship races
in Seattle.
University of Minnesota will
ask the state legislature for an
increase of $357,000 in its an
nual maintenance appropriatij'*
