.DUCK TRACKS
By DON FAIR
Co-Sports Editor
Spring sports activity for Oregon teams just about winds
up this week. J he Prosit tracksters end their schedule against
\ anpoit next 1 uesday in the last University athletic event on
the agenda.
U lans are rapidly whipping
into shape for the second an
nual high school football
poaches clinic on the campus
this Friday and Saturday.
Over 75 mentors have already
accepted invitations to attend
the two-day function, high
lighted by the intrasquad grid
game Saturday.
_ The contest will start at 2
p.m., with the first and fourth
strings squaring off against the
second and third teams. Gret
JACK NICHOLS
chen rlaser, womens’ Olympic ski champion, is the honorary
reteiee and she will flip the coin to start, the action.
-Athletic Director Leo Harris anticipates a crowd of 8000 for
the game, including students. Wives of the players and coaches
will have honorary seats in the president’s box at Hayward
field.
Three Bands to Furnish Color
- Color will be plentiful for the skirmish with bands from the
University, Eugene high school, and Springfield high school on
hand to entertain. The game is to be played under regulation
game conditions of 15 minute quarters, with officials calling
the infractions.
Jack Shaw, Associated sportscaster, will be in Eugene
for the event and is the honored guest-speaker for the ban
quet Friday night at the Eugene hotel at which the coaches
* will be present. Shaw was graduated from Grant high of
Portland, and then attended Portland University. He
' handles the play-by-play broadcasts of the California
schools during the sports’ campaigns.
' Already big plans are underway in Palo Alto for the Oregon
•Stanford football game, September 25. Marchie Schwartz’s
Indians are rated among the top four teams on the Coast,
along with the Webfoots, and Stanford is boasting material
from unbeaten JV and Frosh elevens last fall.
Stanford Rates Webfoots Highly
Jt
The Palo Alto school has plenty of respect for Jim Aiken’s
Ducks. Last year, Stanford rated Oregon as the second best
tSam they played all season. And the high-ranking Michigan
team was selected as the best grid machine which the Indians
scheduled. Tom Shaw, a sophomore from Grant of Portland,
has been battling for the starting quarterback berth on the
Stanford squad and is destined for his share of duty.
Jack Nichols, Washington’s all conference basketball
center, has been drafted by the Sheyboygan Redskins of
^ the National basketball league for the ’48-49 season. Nic
hols, because of war-time regulations, has another year of
eligibility left for the Huskies, but rumor had it that he was
going to devote his time to pre-med studies. Whether he
~ will actually play the pro game has not been announced.
Track coach John Warren announced that he will take a
9 or 10 man traveling squad to the division finals at Missoula,
Montana this weekend. The harriers are planning to leave by
car for Portland Thursday. From the Rose city, they will take
a plane to their destination. Washington State, by virtue of their
smashing win over Washington last Saturday, is given the
heavy-favorite role to take the ND crown away from the
IJuskies.
Koehmen Wind Up Schedule
. Barney Koch’s Frosh baseballers wind up their slate this
weekend with three road games. The Yearlings trek to Mc
Minnville for a single contest with the Linfield JVs Friday.
Saturday, the Koehmen move to Portland for a doubleheader
against Vanport.
Despite outside interruptions, attendance at the Oregon
'OSC night game Saturday was good. The Ducks and Beav
ers will wind up the home slate Friday night, in another
contest which will run competition to a University func
tion, Mortar Board ball. But from last week’s indication
'the baseballers are almost assured of another good erwd.
Other division finals this weekend find the golfers vieing for
the crown and a trip to the NCAA finals, in matches at the
Eugene country club. Coach Sid Milligan will Joank on repeat
title hopes on a four-man squad. However, Washington’s un
beaten fairway crew will at least enter the matches as the
choice. Tennis runoffs are on tap for Pullman, with W ashington
and Oregon State both highly-regarded. On the basis of rec
ords, the Webfoots stand little chance at the net crown.

Intramural Softballers Ready
For Championship Playoffs
By BOB COUGHLIN
The intramural softball season came to a close yesterday as
five teams ended the season with wins and two others fought to
a dramatic tie. Cherney-French beat the Yoemen 5-1, Phi Kap
pa Psi whitewashed Phi Gamma Delta 8-0, Chi Phi blanked
Minturn hall 6-0, Sigma Alpha Mu outscored Lambda Chi
Alpha 5-1, Merrick hall routed Westminster house 10-1. Alpha
1 au Omega and Delta L psilon deadlocked 3-3 with a place in
the playoffs at stake.
Once-beaten DU started out with a bang against ATO. Herb
jsacnomer, tmra baseman and
laed-off man for the DUs, caught
Dick Stoinoff's second pitch for
the only home run of the day. In
the next four innings two more
runs were added to the DU tally
while ATO was able to score only
once. Then in the fifth inning, Paul
Huntziger walked Don “Mouse”
Eastburn, ATO’s able short stop,
Stoinoff and center fielder Wilbur
Craig to load the bases.
Second baseman Joe Hall was
walked to score Eastburn and a
moment later Stoinoff scored on a
wild pitch The side was retired but
the damage was already done.
Neither team was able to score in
a short sixth inning and the game
will have to be played off at a
later date to decide which team
will represent the league in the
playoffs.
SAM 5, Lambda Chi 1
A scrappy bunch of Sammies
came from behind to outscore
Lambda Chi 5-1 in six hard fought
innings. Behind 1-0 in the fourth
inning pitcher Jerry Barde came
to bat with the bases loaded and
singled to score one run. The next
man up was short stop Jerry Gins
berg and he singled to score an
other run and keep the bases load
ed. Little Vic Menashe stole home
after first baseman Burt Gevurtz
flied out. Saal Lesser singled to
score Barde and Ginsberg and
that accounted for all the scoring.
Lambda Chi was led by third base
man Bill Davis, and Jerry Barde
did a lot to help win his own
cause.
Chi Psi 6, Minturn 0
The Chi Psis were treading on
dangerous ground against the tight
defense and aggresive play of Min
turn hall until the sixth inning
when they scored four runs to put
the game on ice and win 6-0. The
hallmen, led by catcher "Koko”
Santos, were able to get only two
hits off pitcher Bob Maxwell but
they defended so effectively that
seven Chi Psis were left on base.
Outstanding for Chi Psi were
Chuck Rufner, a fine fielding first
baseman, centerfielder Joe Holt
who singled three times in four
times at bat, and shortstop Chuck
Strader who teamed up with Ruf
ner to choke most of Minturn’s
scoring chances and got two sin
gles and a double in his four times
at bat.
Charney-Frenoh 5, Yeoman 1
Pitcher Dave Gibson limited the
Yeomen to two hits as Cherney
French beat out the Yeomen 5-1.
The five inning game saw the win
4-Team Beer
Pull to Match
Brain, Brawn
Bringing together for the first
time reputedly the four huskiest
groups of freshmen on the campus,
a Beer-Pull will be held at 6:15 p.m.
over the mud pit on Fiji lot. The
action will send Sigma Chi and Phi
Delt against ATO and Beta, in
what promises to be one of the
dirtiest deals on the campus this
year.
Attached to the middle of the
rope and hanging directly over the
pit will be the trophy of victory for
the winners—a keg of beer. Plans
now call for the victors to return
loaded with the spoils of victory.
The ATO - Beta combination
boasts the heftiest aggregation,
spearheaded by burly Bob Sawyer
and Barry Mountain. The same
combo has the edge in manpower
with 47 freshmen, compared to 43
for the Sigma Chi-Phi Delt roster.
The second group, however, is
said to have a definite bulge in
spirit and brainwork, and may have
too much for the bulkier opponents.
From all appearances, the contest
looms as a battle of brains vs.
brawn for beer.

We tried something different last
week, left out our advertiser's name
and the usual plug—yes, people
did ask us how come, some thought
it was a mistake, but it was inten
tional. We'll plug this time, how
ever, by saying "For the best in
jewelry, drop into Carl Greve’s,
Portland, Oregon.”
It was brought to our attention
that Darrel Robinson is suffering
from poison oak and we also have
heard that a cute Alphafie also has

The newest Ohio State SUN
DIAL came the other day and in it
was a survey that we think should
be printed. It is a survey of men on
that campus as to their five pet
hates against coeds.
1. Coeds drive cars. If they are
bad drivers, which 99.5 per cent
are, they unnerve men. If, by a
miracle, they are good drivers, they
drive too fast or too deftly, mak
ing that senior sitting beside them
feel like a dim unnecessary milque
toast. A man in this fram of mind
wouldn’t take a lunge at a girl if
she were Jane Russell drenched in
Tabu.
2. Coeds use too much perfume.
Many an eager coed forgets that in
the confines of a heated cab or on
a crowded sorority front porch her
exotic perfume can be more like an
anaesthetic than anything else. So
the average cutie always puts too
much on and generally the BMOC
at her feet is usually too overcome
literally for purposes of further en
tertainment.
3. Coeds love to talk about past
conquests. How many times has the
campus had to listen to his date re
late her wonderful time with Harry
last Friday night. By the time the
waitress comes around with that
second round of beers, the guy is
ready to hit her with the bottle. But
the average coed never learns.
4. Coeds love to pick fights. What
poor guy hasn’t ever started off an
evening in a happy frame of min<?>
only to wind it up at 1 o’clotfc
ready to tear his hair out of d'.s
pair. No, she didn’t think that joke
was funny ... he wasn’t out with
that blonde witch tonight but a nice
girl. Oh, God give him strength.
5. Coeds spend too much time in
the powder rooms. (No explanation
needed to Oregon men.)
