IDUCK TRACKS By Tom King Emerald Sports Editor Let s wing around the sports circuit and take 'em as they come: Biggest teasers circulating around the Oregon pinelands these days are the names of two gentlemen tabbed to replace the recently departed Dick Miller and Frank Zazula as football as sistants, and the answer in part will not be long in coming ... In fact, appointment of the backfield coach will be announced the . very early part of May. Coach Jim Aiken plans to hike back to Ohio at that time to participate in a football clinic directed by Paul Brown, who handles the destinies of the Cleveland Browns when he isn’t beating a path to the back door of • some collegian who has eligibility left, contract in hand. At the present hour, the field has been shaved, whittled and otherwise pruned down to five candidates, and Aiken will take it upon himself to cross-examine all - of them when he goes back to Cleveland. - Just who they are and what are their exact backgrounds remains I hush-hush, but we happen to Iliaiifefcla&aSaglfc££»■****■» know that the list is sprinkled BOB SANDERS (overflowing, in fact) with high schoolers and small college - masterminds. All told, there were and are a plethora of applicants for the - backfield post, about 25 of whom were given serious considera tion . . . And a month from now the sifting process will have pin ned the decision down to one man . . . Come West, young man, etc., etc. - Disclosure of Line Coach to Be Delayed Plugging the line coach vacancy must be treated as a colt of another color ... It will not definitely be decided for quite a spell, and then some .. .Buster McClure came to these parts to give the start' a lift during spring drills, but don’t be surprised if he winds up with a permanent job at McArthur court. The Boston Yanks, who financed McClure’s footballing last year, have been reprocessed and are now situated in New York . . . They got a new nickname—Bulldogs—in the exchange, but they also lost a tackle, because McClure has much pretty much decided to throw his cleats in the locker and call it quits as an " active player. Incidentally, folks who figured that the husky, black-haired * Nevadan was just a tackle figured wrongly . . . While with the Yanks, under Clipper Smith, McClure was agile enough spend a - few quarters of his time at end and, as a appetizer, he was fast enough to do some defensive halfbacking, too. "Honest John" Hits New Cage Rules ^ “Honest John” Warren, who sat in on that recent basketball powwow that made over in some respects the rules governing stalling and flagrant fouling, has this to report . . . The voting coaches were splintered into two factions, one that favored the regulation that was subsequently passed (taking the ball out of bounds at mid-court after one free throw), and another which clamored for having a jump ball in the free throw circle after one " charity toss had been attempted .., Warren wound up on the los ing side. He observed that by putting a heavy penalty on fouling .. (which encourages stalling), and by applying the five second rule on players in possession of the ball (which puts the brakes _ on stalling to some degree), the voting body really buttered its bread on both sides .. . The result: one rule offsets the other; to tal : no gain. Bill Fell, free-wheeling halfback from Compton J. C. who has announced his intentions of enrolling here, is one of the nation’s ' fastest runners ... As a track star in high school, he spun the 100 in 9.6s. It's a Bird, It's a Plane, etc., etc. Some grandstand critics chortled that he was even flashier than the very flashy Hugh McElhenry when the two of them were co-terrorists on the terrifying Tartar team last fall . . . Said critics probably just happened to be feeling good at the time. Jack Gibilisco, ticketed to accompany Fell to Oregon from ' Compton, is something of a football player in his own right . . . „ He managed a second-string berth on the All-Southern Cali, fornia J. C. squad last season . . . With Fell, Gibilisco, and Art Sheppard, crack A. A. U. basketballer, Oregon seems to have collared some pretty classy material for future delivery . . . There’s more on the way, too. It may stump you at first, but there are only four regulars who will compose the core of next fall’s eleven . . . Three of em are "backs, Bob Sanders, George Bell, and \\ oodley Lewis . . . Lone line holdover is tiny Ed Chrobot . . . Steve Dotur and Norm \ an . Brocklin were the two whose expected return didn't take shape. Heavy Batting Sprees Bulge Intramural Softball Scores Imposing scores highlighted intramural softball play at the PE diamonds yesterday. Phi Sigma Kappa trampled Pi Kappa Phi, 18-1. Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated the Fizzeds, 14-4, Sigma Alpha Mu took an easy 10-2 win from Fench hall. Phi Delta Theta downed Minturn hall, 10-6. Lambda Chi Alpha surprised the Sigma Nu’s, 3-5, and Omega hall forfeited to Kappa Sigma. The Phi Sig-Pi Phi meet was only a three inning affair. The victors racKea up eignt runs Delore the Pi Phi’s got to bat. The under dogs’ only answer to the violent as sault was a single tally in their half of the first inning. They failed to score again, while the Phi Sig’s counted 10 more runs in the re maining two innings. SIGMA NU tallied the first run in their tussle with Lambda Chi. Lambda Chi knotted the score in the fourth frame, and added an other run to it in the fifth. In the last inning, Bill Davis drove out a decisive triple which brought in the final three Lambda Chi runs. Sigma Nu’s chances looked good in the closing minutes of play. They loaded the bases, but their scoring chance died when John McBee was forced out at second for the final out. The Sig Ep’s impressive win over the Fizzeds started with a slow ac cumulation of runs in the early in nings, finally breaking into a rous ing eight run attack in the fourth canto. THE DECISIVE assault was helped along by Sig Ep Left Field er Don Biggers, who .racked up a three-run round tripper. The Sammies wasted no time in walking over French hall. Held scoreless in the first inning, the Sammies tallied on five hits in the second inning and three on in the third. French hall countered weakly with a single tally in the third, and then rallied again in the closing minutes of play for a final run. The Sammie victory was due in part to their chucker, Ed Artzt, who was touched for only two hits. PHI DELTS fought hard for their win over Minturn hall. It was close all the way, and but for the victors’ last inning assault, Min turn might have won. The Phi Delts brought in five runs in their last time at the plate. Intramural officials today an nounced formation of a new league. It includes Stan Bay hall, West minster house, 13th street, Vete rans housing, and Hunter hall. First league game will be today. Stan Ray will meet Westminster at 3:50 at North field, and 13th Street will cross bats with Veterans housing on the same diamond at 4:55. PI KAPPA PHI and Minturn Hall will vie today in a playoff of a tie game which resulted last Mon day. The rematch is slated for the else on the south field. French Hall and Phi Sigma Kap pa will also play off a game today, with the action scheduled for 4:55,' also on the South felid. The French-Phi Sig affair had been interrupted with the Phi Sigs at bat, one out, two On and one and one third innings remaining to play. A TO Raqueteers Blast Cherneymen It was a straight sweep for a swift stroking Alpha Tau Omega tennis team yesterday afternoon as they blasted out a 3-0 decision over Cherney Hall. ATO captured the two doubles matches decisively, and picked up a forfeit win in the singles when the Cherney singles man failed to put in an appearance. Frosh Courtmen Prep for Rooks THE FIRST FROSH tennis team since pre-war years has been rapid ly rounding into shape during the past two weeks, and will begin its ladder tournament next week. Only a half-dozen players have been turning out, but, according to Coach Saal Lesser, more men are expected to report next week. Tom MacDonald of Grant High, Port land, is a standout and will be the mainstay of the Ducklings. Lesser stated he was state champion last year. When you want .
