At least one Willamette gridder who was having such a nice time in Honolulu when Pearl Harbor came will get to go back to that particular spot fully equipped to do a little reciprocating, and right away, too. He's Lt. Bud Reynolds of the marines, one of Spec Keenes skitterbug half backs before graduating from WU last June, and who stopped aver in the village Monday en route from Quantico to his em barkation point at San Fran tisco. And when we say Reynolds is fully equipped we mean just that. He. wears a few of those marine proficiency gadgets he earned while attending officers school, namely:- expert with bayonet, expert with rifle, marksmanship with pistol and marksmanship with automatic rifle, i. In other words he learned his lessons well and now as a line officer (same as an infan try lieutenant in the army) hopes, for a chance to fix Mr. Hashayaki but good. ' Quite naturally.

John Beckett, years ago a famous kicker on Oregon footbar teams -the same Beckett who played in the Rose Bowl with villager Hollis Huntington. j From Honolulu Reynolds doesn't know any more about where he's going than you do but is certain it'll be into action Jin some part of the Pacific theatre.

Orocoa, Wodnoodcrf Morning, March 14. 1943 Cran'pappy Crnicltshank Cops Lead 1st Round PINEHURST, March 23-GP)-Forty eight year old Bobble Cruickshank of Richmond, VaM a; grandfather and a veteran of World war I, led the field at the end of the first round in the 41st annual north and south with a card of 36-35 71, one under par. The score board of the north and south open read like a golf tournament of the twenties, with five prominent old time golfers on the top of a pUe of fourteen pros and 18 amateurs. Joe Kirkwood of Philadelphia was second with a card of 72. Johnny Farrell of Baltusrol, an open champion in the twenties, was next with 73. Then came Joe Turnesa of Rockville center, who chased Bobby Jones to the wire for the open title at Colum bus, Ohio, in the mid-twenties. The fifth man was the Connecti cut farmer. Gene Sarazen, of Brook field, who won every big championship open to pros when in his prime.

And it isn't the heat that was missing irom the Yanks' hotel last night because of the oil shortage. But when you start checking up, you discover that what you 'see very little of in this base ball camp is baseball. There's a chunk of calisthenics, a bunch of basketball and even a bit of boxing as the American league champions go through their dally chores. But, with the opening exhibition game only two weeks away, the weather and one thing and another has all but shut out the Bronx Bombers from. doing any work even closely resembling the dia mond game. You can see at a glance it's an unusual spring training camp. At the moment the Yankees' out-in-the-open stuff In a total of nine days here has consisted of exactly 2 hours and 15 min utes of work. They've had bats In their hands Just once. . 1; Hayward Calls For Clockwork EUGENE, March 23.-)-First time trials of the season were set for Saturday by Bill Hayward, University of Oregon track coach, Tuesday. .
