This may not be the-time of the year to be talking football,
even though it has been lovely football weather we've been
having. Maybe that's the reason Highclirnber Dick Strite has
revealed just who's gonna be who on Coach John Warren's
University of Oregon eleven next fall that is, if between now
and then part of those who haven't donned Uncle Sam's service
moleskins.
Strite points out that the "if' clause plays a major role on
the Duck campus this year, but he
claims the following gridders will
wear the green and yellow next
fall "if ' they don't go into the
service between now and then:
"Oregon's experienced line of
last season which marched" (?)
"along with or over other Coast
conference lines, is almost as well
fortified this year as last.

JVo Peanuts No Circus
There won't be a circus at the
ball park after all that la, not
next week as previously planned
at least. The Polack Bros, show
and the Jacobs Bros, confection
ers couldn't decide Just who
should sell the peanuts to feed
the elephants; so chucked the
whole shebang until a mutual
agreement can be reached.
-Jacobs Bros, has a lease on the
confectionery rights at the park
for any and al! activities taking
place, whether it be a ball game,
swimming meet or prize fight. Ev
idently they wouldn't budge an
inch to the Cherrian-sponsored
circus, who in turn wouldn't budge
n inch to the boys in blue; so we
now have no circus. Anyway what
Would a circus be if you couldn't
feed peanuts to the elephants?
Nobody to sell peanuts no pea
nuts can't feed elephants with
no peanuts kids unhappy, ele
phants unhappy nuts no circus.

Men Lead 1st Round
Junior-Senior Meet
By HAROLD CLAASSEN
NEW YORK, June 19 -JP)- A
pair of hitch-hiking Californians
and a trio of midwestern athletes
swiped virtually all the limelight
Friday in the first of the three
sessions needed to determine the
junior and senior track and field
champions of the AAU.
The Californians, Luther
Nichols of California univer
sity, and Russ Peck of Stan
ford, tied for the junior pole
vault honors after arriving only
Thursday night. They thumbed
their way from Chicago after
Tuesday's Big Ten-Pacific coast
meet.
Charles Hlad, cotton-topped
hurdler from Michigan normal,
cracked the junior 200 meter low
hurdle mark with a time of :23.3;
Bob Beiirle of Wisconsin univer
sity added more than two yards
to the junior discus record and
Bill Watson, former all-round
star at Michigan and the national
decathlon champion in 1940, won
two crowns and placed in two
others.
Nichols and Peck both easily
cleared 13 feet 6 inches with
their borrowed poles but couldn't
scramble over at 13 feet 10 inches,
a height one inch above the mark
Jack Defield of Minnesata set in
1939.
The crowd of less than 200
spectators, however, got its big
gest thrill out of the numerous
activities of Watson, who now
flexes his muscles in the uni
form of the Detroit police A A.
He won the junior shot with
a push of 50 feet, 1 inch; took
the 50 pound junior hammer
throw with 31 feet, 11 inches;
was third to Beiehle's record
discus toss and fifth in the
broad jump.
Beierle spun the platter 163
feet,, 5 inches, to wipe out the
junior record of 157 feet,
inches hung up by Hugh S. Can
non of Brigham Young univer
sity in 1936.

he could reach first base, Pltts
bnrgh players crowded aroand
to congratulate the Utile veter
aa who spent 15 of his 17 big
league seasons with the Pirates.
First out of the dugout to shake
Waner's hand was Frankie Frisch,
Pittsburgh manager and a long
time playing rival.
.Ironically, Waner reached the
coveted goal against the team
with which he spent 15 of his 17
National league seasons.

victory, their fourth straight
of the series.
Hal Sueme, Cap catcher, open
ed the last of the ninth with a
home run off Ron Smith for the
fourth Vancouver .run. Smith
then retired the next two Caps
only to blow sky high and walk
the next three in a row, loading
the bases. Two singles followed,
Vancouver's eighth and ninth
hits of the game, and the win-'
Bdng run scurried home.
Manager Charlie Petersen came
in and talked things over with
Smith after he had passed the
first two, but decided to let him
stay in.
Bill Flaugher started en the
mound for Vancouver, bnt after
Jack Richards had hammered
a homer with one man aboard
in the fourth, and Salem had
picked up another in the fifth,
he was derricked in place of
George Babich in the sixth
when Salem again scored twice.
Babich allowed another run in
the seventh, but that was all the
Senators got. Vancouver had
drawn first scoring blood with a
single tally in the third.
The two teams bring the pres
ent series to a close with a
doubleheader today, after which
Salem goes to Portland for an
exhibition game Monday night.
The loss was Smith's fourth
against seven wins and snapped
his winning streak at six straight.

Camp Upton ran its own army re

voluntary state talent to gladden
the heart of a Shubert.
A near seU-out crowd of some
