' DUCK TRACKS
By JOHNNY KAHANANUI
Often when l am faced with a problem, 1 go in search of
Alexander Kroveny. I sually he is able to suggest some kind
of solution. V on see, Kroveny is a very erudite character. At
the age of two he picked up a copy of Aristotle’s "Ethics."
opened it to page xxvi. and made a face. Before he was three he
understood the instruction booklets covering his mother’s
washing machine so that he could disassemble and assemble
the contraption. One day he managed to get his heacFcaught
in the wringer.
In fact, Kroveny is that rare four-in-one package —
scholar, athlete, activity man, and social tornado.
Tuesday 1 had a problem. So 1 hunted for Krovenv. 1
-'found him sitting in a local pub. trying to pry Open a botue of
beer with his 1 ’hi Beta Kappa key. He succeeded remarkable
well in scratching the key and bending it all out of shape. But
he failed miserably at opening the bottle.
Kroveny Bites Bottle
Finally in disgust he bit the bottle off at the neck. Kroveny
had very strong teeth.
"Hello Kroveny," I greeted him.
"LTgmph," he choked, beer leaking from his nostrils.
“Kroveny, I have a problem." I said.
“What, again?” Kroveny exploded.
He fiddled with his beat-up Phi Beta Kappa key and
casually tossed it out the window. He took a deep draught,
swished the liquid around in his mouth, looked for a spi
toon. Unable to find one, he twitched his shoulders and
swallowed.
Kroveny ...
“Well?" he interrupted. Kroveny was a master of the Soc
ratic method.
"I have to write Duck Tracks," 1 moaned.
"How utterly horrible." Kroveny thought aloud. And he
ordered another beer.
“Duck Tracks/" .1 reminded.him.
Football Clinic
•^fc'What about the football coaching clinic?" Kroveny asked.
I succeeded in looking blank.
"Well. Jim Aiken is conducting one Thursday and Friday."
Kroveny had answered his own question. According to Kro
venv offensive play, line and backfield. will be described and
demonstrated Thursday afternoon, with Dick Miller G-2ing
antics of the line, Frank Zazula maneuvers in the backfield.
Thursday evening at 6:30 coaches here for the clinic will sup.
buffet style, at the Eugene hotel.
Friday morning defensive play will be examined. That
afternoon the Webfoots will stage their third and final
intrasquad game of spring training. Kroveny disclosed
that 250 invitations had been sent out.
Kroveny turned out for football this spring. On the first
dav Aiken rasped, "To win football games you gotta be rough
and tough up front, quick and nifty in back." Which was OK
with Kroveny. But some of the lads took Aiken much too ser
iously, Kroveny thought. At any rate, someone sprained Kro
venv’s neck (he thinks it was Brad Ecklund). So he quit.
About Golf
“What about golf?" Kroveny inquired, before yelling for a
refill.
“Uh ?’’
“The team’s leaving tomorrow' for Moscow', Idaho . . .
Northern Division tournament, you know."
^ Kroveny thought that Lou Stafford was the only “sure
bet” to make the trip. The others—Glenn Spivey, Dom
Provost, Jim Dunahoo, Rod Taylor, and Bob Sederstrom
_are battling like mad for the remaining three berths. The
four-man team that hikes to Moscow probably will jour
ney to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for the nationals June 23-28.
Kroveny claims he got all of this straight from Anse Cor
nell’s desk.
“What about George Kikes?” I asked.
“I don't know," Kroveny answered. “I hear after three lean
Vears he finally got a bid to Mortar Board. Now he doesn't
know what to do. _ ^
"Well thanks," 1 told Kroveny. “Gotta rush this into print.
"1 gotta go mvselt.” Kroveny answered. "1 have a contract
to paint the lawn in front of the Alpha Gam house."
Kroveny wobbled out of the pub, lugging a pail of water
and a huge Fuller brush.

Delts Edge Campbell Club
In Quarter-Final Softball Play
By ELYVIN PAXSON
A timely triple by Bob Kehrli,
plus some superb relief hurling by
Ed Sanford, enabled the Delta Tau
Delta softball team to advance into
semi-final action yesterday and
edge out a scrappy Campbell club
learn, 6-5.
The winning tally came in the
bottom half of the sixth inning after
Zeb Smith coaxed a walk from the
club twirler. Kehrli stepped to the
plate, fouled off the first two pitch
es, and then sent a screaming drive
squarely between the center and
right fielders that allowed Smith to
score standing up.
Another highlight of the hard
fought encounter was Ed Sanford’s
flinging, as he whiffed ten Campbell
batters in the four innings he was
on the mound. He allowed only two
hits, both pop flies behind second
base.
Campbell club jumped into a one
run lead in the second stanza, blit
the Delts countered in their half of
the same frame, pushing across a
pair of markers on safeties by Kehr
li and Paul Pierson. The lead again
changed hands in the third. The
Clubbers piled up three runs, as Lee
Krause homered with a man aboard
and the Delt left-fielder misjudged
a line drive fbr a four-base error.
In the fourth, Sanford stepped
onto the rubber, and from then on
the club crew could only squeeze
across a single tally on a free ticket
to first, two passed balls, and a fly
to center field. Meanwhile, the Delts
closed the scoring gap, picking up a
lone counter in the fourth, and twto
in the next frame, aided by bingles
