ACADEMIC ADVENTURE
Huge John Warren and Happy
Hobby Hobson, mainsprings in
the U of O grid, cage and dia
mond departments, stopped by
last week on the prowl for Web
foot student material you'll
note, Mr. Atherton, we said stu
dent material.
Tho gentlemen were accom
panied by or accompanying, de
pending on who is looking at it,
a trio of student leaders interest
ed 'in student material. Which
made it unanimosuly academic,
unouestionnbly.
Among the academic questions
which came up were, unfailingly,
how about Webfoot FB and BB
teams of autumn and winter?
Huge John was of the opinion
that there would be one in his
department but he says Uncle
Sam still has all the high cards,
which leaves Huge John with
practically nothing but pros
pects. Nothing is certain, he
offered. We did not ask him
about re-scheduling Texas.
' Mr. Warren was hesitant
about releasing information rel
ative even distantly to his
autumnal plans in the sectors of
defense and attack. Fearful, he
said, that the information might
leak into the bands of those
who would know more exactly
what to do with it.
Additionally Huge John was
piqued concerning the Klamath
county talent which annually
fails to find its way to Eugene
and asked an accounting. We,
who spent a sufficient time but
no more at Northwestern, could
not furnish it but did point out
that In Vic Keginato and Nello
Giovaninnl the webfoots pos
sessed two Klamath first string
ers of recent memory. While at
the same time, those Oregon
Staters had none.
Mr. Warren conceded the point
and went on to reflect over the
appointment of Frank Ramsey,
the fourth Oregon Stater in a
row, as chief pilot at KUHS
Mr. Happy Hobson was less
Jaundiced. He said the Tall
Firs, whose stature has been
trimmed scarcely less than con
siderably in the past two seasons,
will have quite a fair ball club
and Wally Borrovik as well.
Borrovik, a runt-sized fellow of
6 feet and 7 inches is expected
to provide the nucleus of the
1942-43 squad. And there's Bob
Wewland, once of Medford. And
Bob Erlandson, once of Klamath
Falls and more recently once of
the Duck Frosh squad.
Greying Mr. Hobson figured
that Erlandson might possibly
land a place among the first five
or close thereto.
The Ducks, he bared, will not
make a trip to Madison Square
garden, or even to McCredie
springs if it's not necessary on
account of it's almost impossible
to secure train reservations at a
given time for a given number
of people.
Neither Mr. Huge Warren nor
Mr. Happy Hobson were able
to point with certainty to acad
emic successes in the near vicin
ity although there were a couple
of Henley lads with visible po
tentialities as Psychology majors.
One was 6 feet, 4 inches tall.

Football Coach Amos Alonzo
Stagg believes the war will have
but little effect on the game,
and when it's over there will be
an expansion in gridiron inter

much, especially at the larger

of Chicago teams through the
Spanish-American , and World
wars. ,.
'The big schools have so much
material in normal times that
they never utilize all of it. There
is still plenty of it available for
good football teams."
And after the war, Stagg said
in an interview, interest in foot
ball should pick up because so
many service men will have play.

first time.
"There will always be a
strong inclination for outdoor
life and sports, and I have an
idea that if the war lasts a long
time, sports admission prices will
go down, which will not be a
bad thing." ; ; ..,...
Stagg's 53rd football campaign
this year will be tougher than
usual, for he will tr;in his Paci
fic squad without the help of an
assistant. Ralph Francis, the sec

a lieutenant in the army.

The last-place Portland Beav
ers are , not playing the way
their Pacific Coast leage base
ball record indicates they should
and the result is embarrassing
the top Los Angeles club.
Last night the Beavers just
missed sweeping a doublehcader
from the Angels, who won the
seven-inning opener. 5-4. in the
final inning, but dropped a free
hitting second-game 6-4.
In the nightcap Portland
amassed 14 safeties to 11 hits
collected by the Angels'.
Ad Liska dueled Ken Raffens
berger and Roy Davis, Angel
hurlers, in the first game, as the
Beavers played one of their i
rare error-less games. The An
gels collected nine hits and the
Beavers seven. Portland won on
the previous night
Sacramento, the second-place
club, climbed to within two and
one-half games of the Angels by
thumping Oakland for the sec
ond consecutive night, o-J.
The Solons trailed, 2-3, going
into the seventh when they
scored five runs after the usually
steady Jack Salveson blew up
to yield four bases on balls and
three hits. John Yelovic gave
up two additional mis m ine
ninth for a total of 10 safeties
collected by Sacramento.
The third-place Seattle Haul
iers dropped a 'ten-inning first
game of a doubleheader to San
Francisco, 6-4, but Carl Fischer
hurled the Rainiers to a 1-0 win
with his two-hit performance in
the seven-inning after piece.
Veteran Rainier hurler, Hal
Tuipin, was the victim of a 12'
hit assault in the opener, but
his teammates pounded Tom
Seats and Larry Jansen for 13
safeties.
At Hollywood, Bill Thomas
yielded ten hits but defeated his
former employers, the San Diego
Padres, 4-3. It was Thomas
sixth straight win since joining
Hollywood. He had lost nine
straight while on the Padre club
earlier this season.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13 (JP)
Three ten-round fights are on

the one that deserves the top
billing, you're a lot better than
most fight fans.
They'll run off In this order
Cleo Shans, Los Angeles light

York; Fritzie Zivic, Pittsburgh,
former welterweight champion,
vs. Garvey Young, a marine who
fight out of Boston, and Bobby
Ruffin, New York lightweight,
vs. Bob Montgomery, Phila
delphia.
The main reason for that ar
rangement is that Mike Jacobs.
who hasn't liked all-star cards
since his ill-fated tournament of
champions, had to step in to
save his matchmaking and pub
licity departments from madness.
Each of the six boxers had a
representative who was trying
to get his boy most of the pub
licity and for a while it looked
as if there might be more battling
around 49th street and Broad
way than in the garden ring.
Vancouver Gains
Notch in Tight
Western Loop Race
By The Associated Press
Vancouver gained another
notch in the tight battle for
leadership of the Western Inter
national Baseball league as Man
ager Don Osborn pitched his
team to a 4-3 victory over the
Spokane Indians last night but
it took the Caps 11 innings to
down the usually weak cellar
team.
Osborn's usually good pitch
ing was lacking, however, as he
allowed the Indians 10 hits while
his matps were collecting 14 for
the necessary winning runs.
At Tacoma the Salem Senators
knocked over the Tigers, 6-4,
for their second straight game
as Del Holmes gave up seven
hits, and nine walks and his
mates bobbled eight times In
the field.

MORAGA, Cnlif., Aug. 13 (IP)
Graduate manngers of the Pa
clfic Coast conference intend
that each of the conference's 10
members shall participate active
ly in the army-navy physical
fitness programs, and are ready
to help any other far western
college, university or high school
do the same.
inetr willingness in this re
spect was expressed yesterday In
a resolution adopted unanimous
ly after a visit to the St. Mary's
college campus here, western
center of the navy's pre-flight
training activities.
The Managers' association,
headed by Alfred R. Masters of
Stanford university, formed a
three-man committee to assem
ble data on the development of
physical fitness programs at the
separate conference schools and
additionally to serve as a me
dium of exchanging information
between other schools and the
armed forces on matters of train
ing procedure.
Besides the general supervis
ory work to be undertaken by
the committee, each graduate
manager volunteered individual
ly to help promote the program
in his own school.
