Ducks Await Title Series Duck Netmen Battle Huskies For Title Today NORTHERN DIVISION STANDINGS Won Lost Pet. , Washington ............. 3 . 0 1.000 Oregon .. 3 1 .750 osc . 3 2 .600 WSC . 1 3 .250 Idaho .. 0 4 .000 By John Smith Today-in Seattle the most crucial tennis match of the Northern Di vision conference will be played as the University of Oregon Ducks, in second place, try to upset the unbeaten University of Washing ton Huskies. In the closing dual match of the year, the first tennis season in three years, Coach Washke’s rac quet men will be out there battling for first place in the standings. If the Ducks lose they will be tied with the Oregon State Beavers for second place, with thee wins and two losses each. The Beavers com pleted their season last Saturday when they met the Huskies, who defeated them without losing a match. Washke has taken to Seattle with him Jim Zeiger, Stan Ander son, Hal Philan, Bob Carey, Bill Carey, Bill Davis, and Vince Mc Bride. The positions the men will play is still anybody’s guess, for during the last two weeks of in activity two men low on the lad 'iSer have beaten men higher than they. Hal Philan, usually playing number three, has defeated both Jim Zeiger, number one, and Stan Anderson, number two. Bob Carey, the number five man, has beaten Vince McBride, the number four man. Next week on May 24 and 25 at Pullman, a singles and doubles elimination tourney will be held', with six teams competing for hon ors. These matches will determine the actual singles and doubles champions of the Northern Divi sion, but will have no bearing on the conference standings. DATELESS MEN (Continued from Pape one) dateless. Yell King Mickey Davies, though still on the waiting list, has his opinions- on the Mortar Board ball. Inside Dope “I think it’s good experience for the women. It gives them the inside on what we have to go through,” he said. Another on the waiting list is Jim McClintock, who said, "I think it’s a fine idea, but I wish the girls would get on the ball and get their dates. After all, a man likes to be flattered, too. Bob “I’m just a-waitin’ ” Mensor said, “I’m just a lowly freshman, but from what I’ve heard of them, I think they’re a good deal. Instead of the boys picking up the girls, it’s the girls that do it. Saves a lot of footwork.” Point System Ted Bush is still waiting by the phone and says, “I think it’s a good idea. It gives all the girls a chance to make points.” “No I don’t have a date yet,” said Bill Jordan, “I’ve never been to one, but it sounds like a good opportunity for the women — the shoe on the other foot, that is.” ^As the situation stands, the men are awaiting the Mortar Board ball with unsurpassed eagerness, and there seems to be plenty of avail able material. Hal Saltzman, top hurler in the Northern Division, will be on the mound for the Webfoot nine today when they tangle with Oregon State at 3 p.m. on Howe field. Saltzman has five conference wins this season without a loss and a victory today would sew up Oregon’s fourth consecutive Northern Division horsehide title. Track Team Idle Today; ND Meet in Seattle Next By A1 Pietschman After their meet with Oregon State yesterday, the Oregon track men took a well-earned vacation and have no workouts scheduled until Monday afternoon. On today’s track docket in the Northern Division are meets at Pullman, Washington, and Mos cow, Idaho. The University of Washington Huskies, coached by Uncle Hec Edmundson, travel to Pullman for the Washington "ri val” meet with Washington State. Montana’s practically unheard of, and never reported track team, moves to Moscow to battle the Scrappy Vandals. The Cougar trackmen figured they were sure wins when asked about the outcome of today’s meet while the Ducks were at Pullman last week. Undoubtedly bolstered by their win over the Oregon har riers, the Cougars figure they will not have too rough a time knock ing over the Washington crew. Ed mundson’s boys are not to be counted out so soon in the meet, however, for they have shown tal ent in some of the events that Washington State is weak in. Probably a sure point-getter for the Huskies is their supreme mid dle distance runner, Don Wold. Wold ran away from the Oregon middle distance men during the Oregon-Washington meet, and has been improving rapidly. Uncle Hec has been counting on Wold to bring in several first in the coming con ference meet. Idaho has a team of fair run ners, but their main trouble is the same as Oregon’s—lack of needed men in several events. They will probably take the Montana Griz zlies in an interesting meet—in teresting since no one has results of the Grizzlies’ meets yet this year. None of the Oregon colleges have met the Montana trackmen. They have kept to their own back yard for competition. Maybe they have a fireball squad, but with their small enrollment it is doubt ful if they can field a potentially strong team. Hordes of trackmen are needed to push a mediocre team into the top rung—and Mon tana just doesn’t have hordes of men, much less hordes of trackmen. These two meets will wind up all dual conference meets for the season and the schools in the con ference will converge on Seattle next Saturday for the big Northern Division track and field meet. TJo forecasting is made now and won't be made until the results of the meets billed for today are in. ONE WORLD CLUB (Continued Worn taae one) elude husbands of families of minor children and infants who are citizens of the United States, Hewes wrote. Hewes also wrote that pick-ups are occuring from Texas to Seattle on few hours notice or no notice and urged telegraphic communica tion with congress on the matter. Later information, however, indi cates that the first sailing date of May 15 has been cancelled. No fur ther information is available, Bacon said, and therefore his group sent their wires. Weekly. Articles As a weekly feature of the Emer ald the One World Club is writing an article on matters of public con cern. The first article on the sub ject of Japanese exclusion in the United States appears in today’s Emerald. The next meeting of the One World Club is 7:30 p.m. May 22 at the YMCA building. Saltzman to Hurl Today Against Oregon State Oregon’s front running nine will have an opportunity to sew up the 1946 Northern Division baseball championship this afternoon when the Oregon State Beavers invade Howe field at 3 p.m. for the first game of the 1946 traditional series. Oregon has 10 wins and two losses and Oregon State has seven wins and five defeats. A win for Oregon in any of the iour games gives coach Hobby Hobson’s crew their fourth straight Division title. The two pitching aces of the teams will go to the hill this after noon. Hobson has nominated Prince Hal Saltzman, leading pitcher in the league with a perfect five and nothing mark for this season. Ralph Coleman is expected to counter with his ace left-hander, Chuck Sauvain. The frosh south paw has been beaten only once this season, by Washington at Corvallis as the result of some sloppy support. Preparations are being made for one of the biggest crowds of the season. Bleachers have been set up along the third base line to ac commodate the crowd which usual ly sits or stands on the third base line grass. Both pitchers are rated as part of the hitting attack of their re spective clubs. Saltzman will hit in the number five spot and Sauvain, the last time out, batted in the cleanup slot. Hobson will be able to throw the league’s leading RBI hitter, Spike Johnson, and four .300 hitters, Tony Crish, Ranny Smith, Walt Kirsch and Bob Santee. Coleman also has a quartet of hitters in the charmed circle, Harry Richards, .395, Dick Kohler .342, Dorwood Cecil .325 and Lou Wegner .300. Fans will get a chance to watch the classiest first sacker in the league when Cecil takes over the initial sack this afternoon. He has been tabbed as a real prospect if he can improve his hitting and was originally sched uled to sign with the Louisville club in the American Association this spring, but decided to take advantage of the GI Bill and came to Oregon State to continue his education. Whiting to Talk A. F. Whiting, acting assistant professor of anthropology, will be guest speaker at the Sunday forum at Westminster house. The topic will be “Personality and Culture— Oriental and Occidental.” Forum time is 6:30 and' students and fac ulty are invited. I 11 ■—» * THE BEST IN AUTOMOBILE SERVICE at WALDER’S ASSOCIATED SERVICE 11th and Hfilyard Eugene Slated As Prep Hoop Site in 1947 The annual Oregon high school basketball tournament, which has been held at Salem since 1920, will be staged at McArthur court in Eugene next season. Decision to move the tourna ment came Thursday night in Sa lem on the eve of the state high school track and field meet, after a vote of the five members of the board. The question has been up permost in the minds of high school sports fans for several months. The decision was made when the Salem chamber of commerce and Willamette university told the tfard they would be unable to provide any larger facilities than, were provided last year. The de cision was made for the 1947 tour ney only, however, and the site of the 1948 tournament will be up to the board of control. Salem, Eu gene, and Astoria—who all made bids for the 1947 tourney—are ex pected to vie again for the 1948 classic. LIZZ DeCOU (Continued from baae one) subjects. She wants to take full advantage of all courses offered at the university. Writing, interna tional work and music criticism all vie for her future. During her few leisure hours she collects recordings of symphonies and piano concertos. Athletics in the form of fencing and tennis, which Liz declares she is perpetu ally learning, find part of her time. Ever since her trip to Mexico, Liz has loved to rhumba and tango, but more conventional dancing is also popular with her. f" ' GIRLS!
