C'MON FOLKS
Our Pelicans, the baseball
kind, begin to open up this week
end fully equipped with mate
rial, sponsors and uniforms.
Indications arc also they're
not lacking in either enthusiasm !
or ability.
Only thing problematical is,
team support that's up to you, ,
you. and you including me. i
First requisite in most base-1
ball towns lor continued high at

or a colorful one.
We don't definitely know yet
whether we have a passel of
Brooklyns, a Cincinnati squad, a
team of Phillies, or nine old
men, but we think that inas
much as team enthusiasm de-

LEB STEERS (Continued)
Dave Sanderson of the Eu
gene Daily News, still on the
Les Steers bandwagon, asks if
we have any foldin' money about
that seven-foot jump.
Today, David, we've posted to
Dick Strife, sports editor of the
Eugene Register-Guard, a five
seed piece for safekeeping until
after the National AAU meet
this summer.
With this towel we say that
"California's Les Steers, Univer
sity of Oregon trackman" we
quote Time magazine will not
leap seven feet or better in an
official attempt this season.
Do we hear the glad sound oi
leaping sports editor?
Speculation
Rising Over
Grapple Card
Speculation was rife and ris
ing up and down Main street
Saturday as to the probable
lineups come Tuesday night's
grapple show at the armory
which will feature a battle
royal,
Many of those who guess at
that sort of thing thought it
likely that Cowboy Dude Chick,
the new world's Pacific coast
Junior heavyweight wrestling
champion, would match up with
Gtu Johnson to form a scien
tific merger against the more
roisterous and rule-careless lads.
Othen thought, with equal
facility, that Gil Knudsen and
affable Ernest Piluso would '
