The International Handicap
(Synopsis: Ali-Ben-Gay, now a
yearling, has become a favorite of
the maharajah, Ah-Poo-Poo, and
is being trained for racing. The
soberer side of his development is
not being left to mere chanGe how
ever, because . . . .)
(Chapter Three)
On the.weekends he was tutored
by the- maharajah’s personal sec
retary, an intellectual Chinese
named Tu-Uv-Uss, who was out
raged' at’being-assigned this meni
al task. Ali-Ben-Gay learned swift
ly and iwthin Six months was paw
ing out algebraic equations with
ease. Ah-Poo-Poo, a devout Mo
hammedan, insisted that Ali-Ben
Gay be instructed-in..the proper
methods of paying homage to Al
lah, a series of feats which this
amazing, hybrid equine soon per
formed with flawless grace.
One day Tu-Uv-Uss, brooding
over his plight (besides becoming
increasingly aware of the horse’s
superior intelligence), began curs
ing in piping Cantonese *at the
beast who had so brought about
his discomfort. Ali-Ben-Gay, not
understanding the words, but full
well comprehending the tone, low
ered his magnificent head (on
which two-foot horns stood like
sabers) and (while Tu-Uv-Uss was
facing North), struck him a wick
ed blow in the southermost sec
tion.
Tu-Uv-Uss limped screaming- in
to the maharajah, demanding
80,000 annas in damages Ah-Poo
Poo quieted him (by taking him
to see a cage full of Bengal tigers
who, he hinted, had a special taste
J^ov Chinese meat], and generously
gave him fifteen annas plus eight
hours to leave the kingdom.
Saddened and disgruntled over
this disasterous turn of events, Tu
Uv-Uss returned to China, where
he was beheaded two months later
for remarking that Chaing’s gov
ernment wasn’t as democratic as
it was cracked up to be.
Shortly thereafter the trainer,
Ack-Ack, complained to the ma
harajah that Ali-Ben-Gay’s devo
tion to the Moslem fetish was in
terfering with his conditioning. He
■would, claimed Ack-Ack, kneel and
face the east five times a day to
give thanks to Allah. What, moan
ed Ack-Ack, if he should decide
to kneel during a race ?
Jovial, genial, justice-loving Ah
Poo-Poo merely laughed, gave
Ack-Ack a political job (a ten-year
contract as postmaster at the
leper colony), and hired a new
-drainer, an Egyptian named Li-On
Doop, who trained Ali-Ben-Gay to
kneel only at the sound of a shrill
whistle.
(Chapter four, in which Ali-Ben
Gay races for the first time, will
appear in tomorrow’s Emerald).

Walt Kirsch, second baseman-outfielder for the University of Oregon’s league leading
Ducks, shown round first base after collecting the first base blow off Max Soriano, University
of Washington ace hurler. The hit ended Soriano’s bid for a no-hit, no run game in the ninth
inning. Kirsch is currently leading the Webfoots at the plate with .450 average in the six
games played this season.
Webfoots Sharpen Cleats for Rough
Six-Game Tour of Inland Empire
One more hitting and infield
workout remains for the Oregon
horsehiders before starting on the
crucial northern trip Thursday
morning.
Coach Howard Hobson ran the
entire squad through a seven-inn
ing yannigan game yesterday aft
ernoon an dhis charges whipped
the Barney Koch squad, 9 to 6.
Highlight of the game was the
line-drive hitting of Don Dibble;
the classiest of the Duck flyhawks,
who has been in a rock-bottom bat
ting slump all season. With his
father watching the tussle from
the stands, Dibble had four-for
four at the plate.
Hobson used Homer Bropst and
A1 Paulson on the hill to pick up
his win. Paulson is a newcomer to
squad and yesterday marked his
first appearance on the hill in the
practice games this season.
Koch countered with Hal Saltz
man and Lefty Bill Long. Long
was touched for the majority of*
the runs. However, the victors
picked up their margin of victory
off Big Hal, a three-game winner
in conference play.
Hobson had both teams working
on base stealing, and one of the
early tallies counted when Bob
Santee stole home off Saltzman.
* The toad squad has not yet been
picked. Final announcement of
those who will take the trip north
to play Idaho, Washington State
and Washington will be made be
fore noon today.

made his letter as a sophomore

45 foot mark.
Pole vaulters are Charles Brig

mate Robinson squeezed over 10

Other field event leaders are

from Spokane; Lyle Clark, Tom

Change in Lineup Expected
In Tomorrow’s Grid Tussle
Several changes in starting lineups are expected for to
morrow night’s second intra-squad football contest on Hayward
field, Head Coach Tex Oliver indicated at the completion of
yesterday’s workout. Official lineups, however, will not be re
leased until sometime this afternoon.
Sideline experts, despite the lack of official word, have it
ligured that Thursday night’s
action will follow pretty much the
same form as has been displayed
during the past week at the daily
workouts. This would'pit the first
eleven against the third and the
second team against the fourth. If
this proves true, it may be that
the second and third teams will
form one squad while the first and
fourth teams wear the opposite'
color.
The first eleven will prob
ably have three changes in the
lineup from that which started
the first intra-squad tilt. Big
Duke Iverson, ace blocking
back from the 1941 eleven, is
ticketed to start at the quar
terback post replacing Bill
Abbey, 1945 letterman, who
has been dropped to the second
team. The Big Duke is rapidly
regaining shape and his
presence in the backfield this
year will give the Webfoot
eleven one of the finest block
ing backs and line backers on
the coast. *
Another change in the number
one lineup will be at left end, a
spot ordinarily filled by Tony
(Crash) Crish. -Crish will be out
of town this weekend, as he is
traveling with the Oregon base
ball squad on their six game road
trip through Washington and
Idaho. Holding down the wing spot
in Crish’s place will probably be
six foot three Pug Mayer, a three
sporty letter winner at the Univer
sity of Idaho, Southern Branch
prior to his transfer to Oregon.
A third change is expected
at right guard with Ted Me
lnnd„ 215 pounder from Bend,
expected to get the nod. Line
Coach Vaughn Corley is three
deep at the guard spots with
men of nearly equal calibre,
and it appears they may all
have an opportunity to display
their talents playing with the
number one eleven.
On the sidelines Thursday night
will be three backfield aces who
are on the track squad and will
not be playing is the grid contest.
Jake Leicht, Oregon’s contender
for All-American honors last fall,
is Colonel Bill Hayward’s ace
sprinter. Walt Donovan, starting
fullback in 1945, is another speed
ster at the 220 and 440 distances.
The third trackster is halfback
Roy Erickson, letterman in 1942
and later outstanding on the San
Diego Navy eleven, who is a
hurdler.
Don Shaffer, promising
quarterback transfer from
Long Beach City college, is
another backfield prospect
who will not see action.
Shaffer had his hand broken
in the first tilt, and as a re
sult will not be in uniform to
morrow night.
Back in the second squad line
up, however, will probably be
Howard Frary, 215 pound tackle,
who suffered a broken finger in
the first contest. Frary is a tans
fer from Colorado State and is
labeled one of the best tackle pros
pects on the 1946 grid squad.
Games Off Lawns,
Director Requests
In an effort to stop careless
damaging of campus lawns, D. L.
Lewis, superintendent of the phy
sical plant, requested Tuesday that
students refrain from playing foot
ball, baseball, and other games on
the lawns of the campus.
“If a spirit of co-operation by
the student body can be brought
to bear upon this problem, it will
enable the physical plant work

ers to keep these lawns up,” Lewis
said.
General upkeep of the lawns is
a year-round task, and much time,
effort, water, and expense is in
curred in maintaining them. The
campus and grounds budget for
one year amounts to $17,000. This
figure includes materials, and
wages for maintenance work only.
‘‘It is our duty to keep them in
as good repair as possible,” he
said, “but with limited help, funds,
and time, we feel that student co
operation will ease the task a
great deal.”
