' DUCK TRACKS I By FRED TAILOR 5 Co-Sports Editor t Order of the O, the lettermen’s organization, ignored the petition against Dean Hollis at its meeting yesterday with the brusque statement that “This organization will have nothing to -do with such a move.” Unofficially, the athletes' attitude seems to be that Hollis has been aboveboard in his dealings with ^eligibility questions, and that his untimely rulings on play ers just before events have not "been his fault. And the admin istration seems to back the dean solidly, because of the .manner in which he stands up .for Oregon and Northern div ision rights in the conference meetings. It is a fact that the southern schools feel that most •of the Northern institutions -are intruders in the Pacific coast conference, and, there fore, do their utmost to keep GENE GlLLiS tneir rivals in an unimportant position. Dean Jrlolhs is the leading voice of the ND, his supporters claim. The University ski club, along with the Obsidians of Eugene, are putting on a three-day Olympic festival here May 21 through 23, honoring Gretchen Fraser, the first American skier to win an Olympic event, and Gene Gillis, former Oregon gridman and member of the U. S. Olympic ski team. Gillis may return to the campus next fall, but probably won't be eligible for football because of some movie shorts he recently made, which cost him his amateur status. Also honored on the pro gram will be Jack Meissner, who recently completed the first ski trip from Mt. Hood to Crater Lake. Speaking of skiing, the University of California has a ski lodge owned and operated by the school, which is open to Cal students during the snow season. Provides good quar ters for skiers at a low cost over the weekends, and yet supports itself. Huskies Pick All-Opponents The University of Washington basketball squad' recently picked its all-opponent team. The Huskies met not only the ND teams, but also the Southern division conference champ, Cal ifornia, and Baylor University and Ohio State, in regional playoff and pre-season games. Cal's All-American guard Andy ► Wolfe got 26 out of 28 possible votes for one position. Chuck Hangar of Cal and Cliff Crandall of OSC received 25 votes for ‘positions. Jackie Robinson of Baylor and Dick Schnittker of Ohio State were the other two men on the first team. Stan Williamson, Ed Gayda of WSC, and Vince Hanson were named „on the second team. At the same time Bill “Moose” Vanden burgh was elected captain of the 1949 five. At California’s first spring football practice scrimmage ses sion Monday Lynn Waldorf had 11 full teams performing, in cluding three elevens of varsity and junior varsity experience, three scpiads of last season's freshmen, three squads of trans fers, and two of newcomers to college ball . . . Southern Cal - has at least one top-notch golfer on its links squad this year. In a recent match with Loyola, which the Trojans won 41-13, Paul Carter scored four birdies for a 69 . 1**. Three members of OSC’s undefeated wrestling team are trying out for Olympic team berths this weekend . . . Washington’s ace tennis player, 6 foot-3 inch left-hander Jim Brink, finished fourth in the ■ Australian amateur championships last summer, and won the South Australian toga. Cal Schools Have Top Tennis Teams ' These California schools really turn out the tennis teams, be cause of their year-around playing seasons, and the wonderful ■ backing they receive. The top players from the southern schools are ready to step into big-time competition upon graduation because of their high caliber of play. An allstar outfit, which included Ted Schroeder, Pancho Gonzales, and the Falkenburg brothers, both top netters, played the UCLA squad recently and won only 8-4. But Schroeder, a national singles star, and . Gonzales, a perenial contender for the title, were both beaten by the collegians. Today’s and Saturday’s baseball games with the Wash ington Huskies will show up the real power of the Oregon squad. The Huskies were recently blasted by WSC, 16 to 8, and Whitey Lokan, who will probably draw the starting mound job, held the Cougars to only four earned runs in his first appearence. With some good hitting the Ducks could put themselves in a very advantageous position for ^ the rest of the season, by winning a pair now. * ' " « Ducklings Hit Rooks By SAM KIDMAN Sixteen choice Oregon Ducklings will embark this afternoon for an invasion of the Oregon State freshman baseball empire, where they will pit their base path know ledge against the Aggie Rooks. Coach Barney Koch reported that the squad will depart the campus for Corvallis via bus at 1 p. m., and the Rook encounter is slated to get under way at 3 p. m. The 16-man traveling crew is composed of: Jim Hanns, Lyle Sacs Finally Beat Seals By United Press Sacramento and jack Salveson finally tasted sweet revenge last night as the Solons defeated San Francisco, 4 to 3, for the first time in five Pacific Coast league tries. Salveson, who was knocked from the box by rambunctious Seal bat ters on opening day, hurled nine hit ball tonight, while Timmy Fine, who hurled a two-hit shutout against the Solons during the first series, was driven to the showers. The Solons picked up three runs in the first inning on five hits and a walk. A hot grounder by Rip Russell ended Fine’s short stay on the mound when it caromed off his shins. Dewey Soriano replaced him. The other Solon score came in the fifth when Joe Grace hit his second double of the game and Russell sin gled him home. San Diego Starting Hurler Jess Flores retired only one Los An geles batter tonight as the Angels pumped out a five-run outburst in the first inning to takea 5 to 0 Pacific Coast league baseball win from San Diego. The Padres outhit the victors, 9 to 6, but smooth performances by the Los Angeles infield snuffed ev ery San Diego threat. Three times the Angels came through with dou ble plays when San Diego threat ened. Winning Hurler Hal Kleine walked six Padres and struck oift four. Other games in the Pacific Coast conference were rained out. Parker Paces Net Tourney HOUSTON, Tex., April 22, (UP) -^Frankie Pprker of Los Angeles, the nation’s leading amateur and the favorite to win the men’s sin gles crown in tfc*z 14th annual River Oaks tennis tourney, led the top favorites today into the semi final round. Parker, a River Oaks titlist of 15 years ago who has been in tournament competition for 19 years, won over Bobby Curtis of Rice Institute, 6-3, 6-2. Curtis is No. 1 player at Rice. A hard-fought contest between Eddie Moylan of San Francisco and Francis X. Shields of New York was left in doubt because of darkness. Darkness Stops Young Moylan overcame a three game lead to take the frist set 8-6, while the 37-year-old star of the middle of the last decade checked Moylan’s Irish determination by winning the next set 6-4. The match will be decided tomorrow. Billy Talbert, seeded second at River Oaks, won easily over Sam Match of San Francisco, 6-1, 6-2. Earl Cochell, also of San Fran cisco, defeated Tom Mollloy of New Orleans, 6-2, 6-1. Cochell meets Talbert in the semifinals on Saturday. Rogers. Ken Bennett, Eddie Artzt, Bob Palmer, Ray Elkins. Don Pet erson, Brad Fullerton, Fred Welch, Chuck Humble, Mel Krouse, Clyde Ellison, Bob Bonebrake, Will Ur ban. Jack O’Connor, and John McGinnis. Tentative Starters Tentative starters are as follows: Hanns or Rogers, pitcher; Artzt or Bennett, catcher; Peterson, first base; Welch, second base; Mel Krouse, shortstop, Bonebrake, third base; Ellison, left field; Humble, center, and Elkins, right field. Koch noted that the Rooks have been able to get a few games under their belts, whereas the Ducklings have had nothing more than Frosh-Varsity competition; he stressed the fact that actual game experience is the difference between a good season start and a weak one. The constantly bad weather in the Eugene area has hampered the Frosh, not to men tion all other spring sports, to the point where they were fortunate to squeeze in several intrasquad tilts. The original Frosh diamond opener was slated for last Satur day, when they were to have squared off in a double header against Hillsboro and St. Helens high schools, but first St. Helens, then the Hillsboroans cancelled their engagements, and the Frosh Varsity game that was substituted fell victim to a Saturday afternoon rain siege. Try to Clobber Ags As the rains continued to drench the Oregon campus yesterday af ternoon, Coach Koch assembled his diamond dusters in their dressing room, delivered a brief lecture, and sent his batteries to the ROTC shed where the hurlers warmed up their pay-off limbs. In the realm of prognostication, Koch said that the Ducklings’ fate was uncertain, but that they would certainly “do their best” to clobber the Aggie contingent. The Oregons will return to their homestead im mediately after the game, Koch added. Two things every college man should know! • This is a hot trumpet player.
