IIGHCLIMBER By DICK STRITE Fraternity leaders on the University of Oregon campus kve been complaining that prospective freshmen athletes, in contacted as prospective members of their houses, are tot coming to Oregon as originally planned because they are Vetting better deals irom otner .Facinc uoast uonierence KilWiS. M lUllWUlC UIIUEt 0UM(GU 4IU1G1 bull !ode. but the frat boys claim it s so. One traternity presi dent told a member of the R-G staff who is not associated kith sports, that at least two prospects, Saunders from lorthBend and DeWittfrom Reedsport, are not coming here Itcatise they have been snubbed by Tex Oliver. Llhu could be true in the case of Saunders, but we Know the ort ii false in the case of DeWitt because we happened to be hesent in McArthur Court when Tex met the all-around athlete bom Reedsport after his basketball team had played the Ducklings k i game at the Igloo. Because of that fact, we feel that more than Italy the Saunders report is also untrue.. Now, on the eve of the start of tne 1848 football season, the undwriting is on the wall. Already the students are talking about I ompaign to get rid of Tex which would be a hollow victory in aim ol the probability that Tex will not be interested in renewing lis contract with the Webfoots next fall; win, lose or draw! In Portland for the National F.G.A., we couldn't help but come contact with numerous Oregon alums who have been perpetual jKlIyachers" in the Oregon sport front for a long, long time. Maybe the Webfoots need to clean house at the Igloo from the ristodian to the graduate manager. We feel, however, that the re f venation of the athletic pocture must start outside the confines of cArthur Court the alumni organization and the athletic board as starter, we have never found the athletic board either competent progressive. desDite their wartime intimation that they were fanning "big things" for postwar athletics. We have found precious w loyal Oregon alums. Itdoesnt require a grammar school diploma to know that in laity there is strength. There is no unity in the alumni association, sne ainietic board or the nrhltin ripnartment. Our conceDtion of a f jal alum is one who will boost his school s athletic teams regard Ira ol their record. At the end of the season, if the performance of Ike team did not stack up to expectations, then is is the time to fKommend to the "powers that be" a change in coaching personnel. ne cnange is not made, the alum should stiu be loyai or at least a iirempt to tear down the alma-mater. Despite predictions matin hv various Pacific Coast Conference jwwt during the past few weeks, we feel certain Oregon has a Nball squad capable of finishing in the first division possibly waning tne conference proum with iinv kind of breaks.

The San Fran cisco kid who was ruled out of the U.S.G.A. in 1940, fired an amazing 29, six under par, on the outgoing nine with six birdies and three pars and came home with a 34 for a record-breaking 63. Needless to mention, the 63 and his sub-par 71 of Monday com bined for a 134 and medalist hon ors in this 28th national P.G.A. championship golf tournament. The agrgegate also shattered the tourney qualifying mark set in 1929 at Los Angeles bv Fred Mor rison and tied in 1938 at Shawnee, Pa., by Frank Moore. Both had 136 s. Neither man. however, won hte title. The 63 tied the course record established last year by rsen Hogan when he captured the Portland Open. Harrison in Second Ferrier beat out Dutch Harri son, leader at the halfway mark, by two strokes when the Arkans as slugger finished late with a 70 to go with hi: initial 65 for a 136. Hoga.n, who fired 69 Tuesday and a 68 Monday, was third with 137. Chick Harbert, one of the first day hotshots with a 68, added a 70 for 13-: and fourth place. George Fazio of Los Angeles, who had the second best score Tues day with a 67, took fifth place in the medalist competition with an even 140. There were seven oth ers who had 141, five with 142 and ten with 14327 with aggre gate sub-par scores. The 64 players who qualified for Wednesday's "sudden death" 18-hole daily double matches were required to score close to par 148. There were seven of them with that score, just filling the required bracketing. It was the first time in the memory of Fred Corcoran, PGA tournament man' ager, that there has been no necessity for a playoff to fill the 64 berths in match play. McSpaden Shoots 67 All of the "name" golfers made the grade. Jug McSpaden, who was on the b orderline Monday with a 75, roared over the final route with a 67, tying Fazio for the second best score of the. day, to easily qualify. Jimmy Hines needed the 66 he' fired Monday, coming in with an 80 to make the test by two strokes. Medal scores mean nothing now, Match play will pay the dividends for the $3500 top prize offered in Bob Hudson s popular tourney, Each one of the qualifiers will collect $100 fro mthe $25,000 purse posted by Portlands Mr. Golf, ' Wendell Wood, Eugene Country Club pro who faltered with an 82 Monday, after a "fireman-save my-child" call Sunday from the PGA moguls to fill the field, play ed a beautifully sound game Tuesday with a sub-par 71. There was nothing sensational about Wood's game, but he could have been a tourney surprise had five putts that missed by hairlines dropped for birdies. His only bird came on the 375-yard sixth where his tee shot found the rough. With the ball on a sharp slope and more than lO yards from the green, his seven iron dropped 12 feet from the pin and he holed out for a three the same hole he birdied on the first round Monday. Wood "hit the green.' on 17 oi the 18 holes with the required number of strokes. His only fail ure came on the'- 'ghth when his iron hooked and landed in the lefthand sandtrap. He blasted within ten feet of the hole and caned a difficult curving putt for par three. Nelson Gets Deuce Al Nelson, another member of the Wood threesome, made the most sensational play of the tour ney's second day. One hundred yards from the spectator-ringed ninth rreen he took'a seven iron and gobbled his second shot for an eagle duce. Nelson, from Ponte Verdra, Florida, shot a 35 3974 as against Wood's 34-3571. His 73 for the first 18 holes gained him one of the match-lay berths. The other member o'. the three some, Henry Garletts of Yakima, faltered with an 85, coupled with an 81 for the first day's test. Toney Penna of Cincinnati came close to Al Nelson in the matter of. oddities. He shot into the creek on the tenth and it cost him a stroke to get out, but ne holed out his spoon shot for a birdie four. Sixteen players will come out of Wednesday's opening day of match play, and then they will tour 36 holes daily, the semi finals to be played Saturday and the finals Sunday. ' Defending Champion Byron Nelson, showing no 111 effects from an ailing back, eliminated Frank Rodia, San Diego, 8 and 7, in the first contest of match play today. Nelson was six up at the turn, winning six holes and tieing on three. He then won the 10th and finished the match on the 11th. Plavine in championahlp form, Nelson toured the out-going nine in four-under-par 31. HOOSIERS EXPAND BLOOMINGTON, Ind.

Brooklyn Lead Cut to V2 Game By JACK HAND (Associated Press Sports Writer) Brooklyn stands in dire need of a fiery pep talk from cheer-leader Leo Durocher today with its Na tional League lead shriveled to a half game after absorbing a 10-0 pasting from the rejuvenated Pittsburgh Pirates. Stories that the last-place Plr ates were putting on a closing surge to save their jobs under the new owners had been accepted with a grain of salt. But since Frank McKinney, Bing Crosby and associates bought the Pitts burgh franchise, the Bucs have hustled to seven wins in 10 games. With seven more games against the Cards and four more with tile Dodgers, Pittsburgh could very well prove the decisive factor in the championship battle. Nick Strincevich, who lost his first ceven starts in 1946, shut the door in the Brooks' faces, allowing only four hits. The Pirates climb ed all over Vic Lombard! and three successors. The Cardinals lit into Johnny Niggling for a 4-1 verdict over the Boston Braves. , The Chicago Cubs gained ground on both Brooklyn and St. Louis by whipping the Phillies twice, 5-2 and 10-2, but lost Sec, ond Baseman Don Johnson with a fractured left hand. New Yof'k advanced to within a half game of the slumping fifth' place Cincinnati Reds with a 4-3 decision engineered by Dave Kos lo with home run help from Walker Cooper and Goody Rosen nullifying a workmanlike effort by Harry Gumbert. Boston's pennant-bound Red Sox divided-a pair with the lowly St. Louis Browns but stretched their lead to 14',2 games over New York with only 35 to go. Jim Bagby grabbed his fifth win in the opener, 5-1, and Ellis Kinder of the Brownies fashioned his first major league success in the 5-4 finale with relief help from Tom Ferrick. Teddy Wil liams bashed his 33rd homer. Both Cleveland's Bobby Feller and Detroit's Hal Newhouser fail ed in their attempts to hit the 22 win mark. Feller bowing to Wash ington, 5-4 and Newhouser losing to Philadelphia 2-0. Randy Gumpert's eight-game win streak was snapped by Chi cago as Ed Lopat turned back New York, 9-2, before a Yankee Stadium crowd of 33,989. Joe Di- Maggio collected his 20th homer in the seventh frame. OIUSTINA u. Kins lb, .Cooper 3b, J. Dunn 2b, B. Koch c, Blfhop cf. Robertson If.

The Lumbermen have served notice to one and all that they are nobodys pushovor from here on in, and to back up their beliefs they point with pride to their 17-3 triumph over the first' half champion Snellstrom Braves last Friday night. Game time will be 8:30 p.m. Ed Brauner's Reds need a win tonight to stay in as undisputed Cascade leaders, as a loss would throw them back into a first place tie with the Hills Creek Billies. Both teams field several heavy. hitters, the Lumbermen boasting the two top swatters in the circuit, Lou Kotnik and Eddie Adams. The Reds have the reliable Barney Koch as their leading hitter, with Johnny Dunn and Dick Bishop also hitting at a heavy clip, Moye is planning to call on Bud Fortier to do the mound chores for the Lumbermen, and Brauner will probably start Bill Ellis, the talented southpaw from Lebanon.

Idle Seals Boost Lead As Oaks Lose to Stars (UNITED PRESS) The San Francisco Seals found out today they don't even have to take the field to lengthen their lead in the Pacific Coast League. Thanks to the Hollywood Stars, the idle Seals added a half game to their first place edge Tuesday night when Jimmy Dykes' crew downed the second-place Oakland Acorns 2 to 1 at Oakland. The Oaks' defeat boosted Francis J. (Lefty) O'Doul's men 5 Mi games in front of the pack as the Seals prepared to open a series with Los Angeles, which also was idle Tuesday night. In other games, the sagging San Diego Padres dropped a 3 to 1 decision to seventh-place Seat tle while the Sacramento Solons edged Portland 2 to 1 in the seven-inning first game of a double bill, then battled to a six-all tie in the 11-inning nightcap called at midnight by the curfew law. Frankie Dasso, Hollywood's lightning-fast pitcher, held the Oaklanders to six scattered hits and struck out seven in a mound duel with Floyd Speer. The Stars scored the winning run on Frank Kelleher's forceout after Cully Rlkard singled, a hit by Glenn Stewart and Al Unser'a long fly ball. The Sacramento-Portland second-game marathon might have gone on all night, although both managers swept their benches clean. The Bevos used 20 players while the Salons threw 15 Into the came. Billy Conroy, Sacramento catcher, Buffered a severe gash on the head when he was hit by the tip of George Vico's bat. The Solons won the opener be hind Gerald Staley's effective seven-hit hurling. The story at San Diego was seven-hit pitching by Seattle's Don Pulford and John Yelovic and a 10-hit attack against Lefty Tom Seats.

Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wil son of the Western Conference said at Chicago that Yost "left a stamp on Inter-collegiate athletics which will be felt forever." He added: Yost was what you'd call a great enthusiast over football. He became utterly oblivious of other matters when hew as discussing the game. "America, as well as the West ern Conference, has lost one of Its great men in the passing of Field ing Yost. He was a pioneer in his field, with the strength and vision of pioneers." L. W.

' The Eugene city champs looked like they might stay in the ball game in the first tew innings. They led off with a run In the first but Corvallis tied it up in the first of second. The Rubes added two in the second only to have Corvallis come back with a rash of home runs in the third to score five runs and take a lead which was never relinquished. George Sprick hit a homer for the visitors with the bases loaded and Dick Miller followed immedi ately with another with the bags empty for the big third inning. The Rubes got another run in the third but Sprick took over the mound duties from Bob Berringer In the fourth and the Furniture men were blanked the rest of the way.
