Four Grants
To Be Given
Four new scholarships, to be
awarded on the basis of out
standing performance In the
fields of scholarship, athletics
and citizenship, were announced
Wednesday by Karl Onthank,
chairman of the University of
Oregon scholarship committee.
President O. Meredith Wilson,
who approved the new grants,
said, ”1 am pleased that the Uni
versity of Oregon can offer
scholarships of this type, for I
feel there is a definite need to
make aid available to young men
of varied abilities in their search
ror a high education."
Dean Onthank said the new
scholarships would be named for
four former Oregon lettermen
who had become successful In
business and civic life since their
graduation. The four men includ
ed John Higgin and Clarence
Bishop of Portland, John Kitz
njlller of Dallas, and Ralph Hill
of Henley.
Both Biahop and Higgins were
among the earliest of the Duck
lettermen and both took part In
both football and track with the
former wrrmmg letter* ,f, tatgV
96-99 and 1900 and the latter
Winning awards in 1895-96-97.
Kitzmillcr and Hill were foot
ball and track stars of a quarter
of a century ago with Kitzmiller
winning football letters in 1928
29-30 and Hill earning track
awards In 1929-30-31 before
winding up his career in the 1932
Olympic Games at Los Angeles.
The new scholarships are pat
terned after three now in effect,
the Dick Smith. Dean Wnlker
and Town club. They are cur
rently held by Tom Crabtree, a
football quarterback from Coos
Bay; Phil McHugh, a basketball
and football player from Port
land, and Doug Clement, a middle
distance runner from Vancouver,
British Columbia.
Bite for Baturday's encounters
with the same starting time.
Ducks On Top
Oregon is currently perched on
top the loop standings with an 8-1
mark while the Beavers are rest
ing in second with 6-2, having lost
their last two games to Washing
ton. Thus the Ducks need only a
split In the weekend series to cop
the championship. Oregon would
be 10-3 while Ralph Coleman's
OSC club would finish at 8.4. But
if the Beavers should win three,
the pennant would go to them.
The four games In two days
could prove a real strain on the
pitching staff of both teams. Ore
gon State's hitters were going wild
until stopped by the Huskies'!
Monte Geiger and Bill Reams and
Oregon's batting attack has been
potent, despite Tuesday's 8-0 loss
to the Eugene Emeralds. If the
hitters break out again this week
end, the rival coaches may be lit
sore straits for pitching.
Pitchers to Work
The front line of Oregon pitch
ing is composed of Terrv Maddox,
Bill Blodgett, Bill Garner, John
Lundell and Pete Williams, and
ail will likely see action before the
four game series is over.
Oregon State will depend most
heavily on AI Guidotti, Lowell
Pearce. Joe Kpperle, Lynn Mohler
and Dick Wilson. Behind them are
Syl Johnson, Jr., Marlin DeHaas,
Johnny Frederick and Frank
Wuent.
The Beavers have shown real
power at bat all season, with All
American first baseman Jay Dean
leading the way. They have rolled
up such scores as 21-3 over Port
Koppermen Flay
Brewery Boys
SEATTLE (APi — Portland
scored three runs in the sixth
inning to sew up a Pacific Coast
league baseball game Wednesday
night, defeating Seattle. 5-2.
The win gave Portland an even
split in the two games played
thus far in this week's series. It
left Beattie in second place in
league standings but two and a
half games behind first place San
Diego.

handed the Oregon Frosh easy'
victories in their last two out-1
ings. An 11-3 win over Albany
high school’s Bulldogs on Tues
day and a 16-3 rout of the Lin
field junior varsity yesterday
gave the Ducklings a 6-2 season’s
record.

the Bulldog field, saw the first
Frosh injuries of the year as

beaned in his first trip to the
plate, causing a concussion, and

With the Northern Division
dual match season now closed,
conference tennis teams can look
ahead to the five-team tourna
ment at Pullman Friday and Sat
urday.
Washington's all-winning team
captured all four of its matches
without the loss of a point, and
will be heavily favored to nab
the team title decided on an in
dividual place method.
The defeat of Oregon by Ir
win Harris’ OSC netmen 6-1
Tuesday threw the final stand
ings into a second-place tie be
tween the Beavers and the Ducks.
Each team claimed identical 3-2
records.
The Ducks also lost to the
Huskies while OSC lost an earl
ier match to Hilbert Lee's Ore
gon squad by a 4-3 count.
Favorites in individual roles
for the ND tourney will be Bill
Quillian and Doyle Perkins of
Washington. Quillian has won
the singles title for three straight
years, and has had a share in the
doubles crown for the same pe
riod. He and Perkins teamed
for the win last year.
Other potential winners in
clude Ron Carlson and Bob Ba
ker of Oregon and Norm Merrill
of Oregon State.
pital yesterday described Wa
naka’s condition as "improving.”
The Ducklings found no dif
ficulty in getting to Albany
pitching, as the first eight men
up in the first inning all scored.
Singles by Jerry Urness, Pifher,
Jerry Waldrop and Jim White;
a triple by Ron Creps, and a
home nan off the bat of Catcher
Ronnie Dodge, plus a hit batter
and an error, gave the Frosh
enough to coast on.
Frosh pitchers Don Lane, John
McCall and Paul Beck limited the
Bulldogs to three singles.
Oregon broke loose for ten
big counters in a third-inning
barrage at McMinnville. Waldrop
opened the inning with a long
triple, and when his turn at bat
came around again he clouted
a home run with two men on.
Creps, Dodge, Dale Dickey and
Wimp Hastings contributed sin
gles to the melee, while a hit
batter, a v/alk, and an error did
nothing to help the Linfield
cause. The Ducklings stacked
up a total of 16 hits, and Frosh
pitchers scattered seven.

The Frosh are scheduled to
scrimmage Eugene high on the
