DUCK TRACKS| By Tom King Emerald Sports Editor It s time to hitch onto a spinning sports top and again go wheeling around the Pacific slopes and elsewhere. One of the first turning points of the current baseball season will stare Don Kirsch's Ducks in the face almost before they are going to be able to gather their collective breaths . . . That will come next week when Washington State’s veteran outfit, de fending Northern Division champions, puts in an appearance I here Monday and Tuesday . . . Before the end of the month the Ducks will have faced the Buck Bailey and his Cougars four times, and after that they won’t be disturbed with them again. Word from the Southland is that Jeff Cravath, gridiron chief at El Troy, may ink Monk Sim ons as an assistant . . . Monk is presently engaged in a similar capacity at Tulane ... His fath er used to be something of an institution on the Green Wave campus down ol’ Bayou way. JEFF CRAVATH isia\ain, wno nas never ducked an argument yet, shocked some old timers around his tradition steeped school the other dav when he went on record as predicting that a big 200 lb. sopho more would become one of the greatest ends in Troy’s rather il lustrious history . .. This was startling enough, but even moreso was the fact that this new “find” has never played end before in life . . . He centered in high school and carried out the same roll last year on the Frosh squad . . . The name is A1 Baldock, and you might put it down in your future book. Beavers Land 'Player of Year' From California Although little or no publicity attended his arrival, when Bud TV oodward enrolled at Oregon State and showed up for spring practice, the Beavers were really getting a jewel.. . Bud is a full back. and a good one ... As a senior in high school he was named “Player of the Year” in Southern California (CIF), and he has been tabbed as the boy who hits a line in the best Standlee tradi tion . . . Supposedly one of the finest fb’s the southland has pro duced in several spins of the sun dial, Woodward transferred to OSC from Long Beach City College. A hefty 51 ft. push of the shot is good for only about fifth or sixth place in some southland track meets ... After the boys get a mite further along in their spring football practicing, Coach Jim Aiken plans to have them go at it on Saturdays ... Expected in clement weather has something to do with this . . . Dutch Feh ring, ex-UCLA line coach who, it was rumored, might wind up at Oregon, signed recently with Marchy Schwartz at Stanford . . . And Dutch’s ol’ boss, Bert LaBrucherie, is now working for a car dealer. Iron Mike Dimitro, with whom Bert had a tiff last fall, turned up for spring practice, but insiders say that, despite what you hear and read, he won't be eligible. The Water, Siftin', and Helmet Story Aiken’s penchant for not having a water-bucket on the field is only one of many simi lar restrictions that are used by coaches across the nation . . . Paul Brown of Cleveland doesn’t permit any of his men to sit down once they hit the practice field ... It doesn’t matter whether they are just standing to the side watch ing, or whether they’re mere ly out for an afternoon sun tan — they still gotta stand . . . Red Sanders has a simi lar provision at UCLA con cerning helmets . . . Players must wear them all the time. .. At Washington State, Phil Sarboe has ’em running a mile in seven minutes with full gear after the first day. Only Cliff Crandall and Alex Peterson will be absent from the crack Beaver cage squad that went to the NC AA Regional Finals when next season comes around . • They’ll be moving into a new two-million dollar pavilion ... Elliott, OSC’s new backfield coach, never had been in Ore gon before . . . He’s quite a baseball player, too. Put Clamp on Wooden and His Worrysome Words Some fellow-coaches have tried to put the skids under John Wooden’s cat-calling- tactics that helped him and his Bruin team to a SD basketball title this past season . . . Wooden's saucy, penetrating voice, which echoed protests almost incessantlv, came in for some sharp criticism . . . Too, they ridiculed his prac tice of having his players wave their arms when an opponent was shooting at; the free throw line . . . Comm. Vie Schmidt has taken the matter under his wing and in the future 'tis said, these annoying little habits will be pretty much curtailed. George Yardley, the Stanford fly-by-night whom thev were comparing to Hank Luisetti, wound up in the same graveyard which has buried so many other over-publicized cagemen . . . He failed to make the All-SD five, and teammate Dave Davidson was voted by the squad as the most valuable player. Two Halls, Vets and Stan Ray, Win 1UUAV VS Sl HKUliLE 3:50 North Field: Kappa Sigma vs Fizzeds South Field: Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Sigma Nu Upper Field: Phi Delta vs. French Hall 4:55 North Field: Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Phi Sigma Kappa South Field: Chi Psi vs. Merrick Upper Field: Phi Gamma Delta vs. Sigma Chi. Yesterday was a short after noon insofar as Intramural soft ball competition was concern ed, only two games being play ed. Hunter Hall squared off against Vets Housing in a rath er wild contest, and came out a 14-2 loser. In the other contest, Stan Ray hall squeezed by the 13th Street Athletic club, 7-6. SUPERIOR pitching and more power at the plate proved the pay off in the Vets hall win. It was a pretty loosely played affair, one which was marred by frequent dis putes with the umpire. At one time the ump threatened to eject a play er and call a forfeit. The colorful, T-shirted boys of the I3th St. AC went down to de feat despite the fine performance turned in by Chuck Rufner. The free-swinging outfielder cut off one man at second and stopped at third another who might have scored with a couple of bee-line throws from the outfield. HE ALSO chipped in with the lone four-master of the afternoon. Stan Ray won in the final inning when Bob Sike drilled in McMilan from third. Varsity Netmen Prep For Match With Pioneers Lewis and Clark College will pro vide the opposition for the Oregon varsity tennis squad tomorrow af ternoon on the Emerald street courts. The Ducks are fresh from a sur prising 4-3 victory over the strong Eugene Tennis Club Saturday, hav ing captured four of the five singles matches but dropping both double tests. Coach Clyde Knox of the Pio neers will present a potent aggre gation, spearheaded by Bill Preble, his number one man. The Pioneers already have several warmup con tests under their belts. Although the eliminations have continued all week, Coach Saal Les ser as yet is certain only of his top three men, who are Bob Carey, Dave Van Zandt, and himself, It's a STRIKE!
