\ TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 1940 TELLING THE WORLD. Longhorns Are All Set For Oilers By B. A. BRIDGEWATER_ Sports Editor EGUIN, Texas, March 16.— The University of Texas base- ball team led by the veteran coach, “Uncle Billy” Disch, is all set to give the Tulsa Oilers a pasting when it comes down here to Seguin Monday for the first of a two-game series. Undefeated champions of the Southwest conference last year, the Longhorns have been getting ready for a month and are well ahead of the Texas league rivals in the important matter of physical condition. Texas will pitch against Tulsa its star, Melvin Deutsch, who sub- dued all the conference opponents met last season, and also went the full nine-inning route to beat the National league Philadelphia Phil- lies, 4 to 1, in & game at Austin. Deutsch is a junior from Cald- well, Texas. When the Oilers were down here two years ago he was a star sophomore but ineligible because of grades. The Longhorns will have on third base Bobby Moers, picked on the All-American collegiate basketball team this year by N. E. A.; on first base Johnny Hill, selected for the all-American semipro baseball team after the tournament at Wichita last summer. In the Southwest confer- ence they permit athletes to play semipro baseball and still retain their amateur standing. Here is the Texas line-up for the series opening here Monday, and to be concluded with a game in Austin Tuesday: Jack Stone, 2b (Junior). Leslie Croucher, ss (Sophomore) brother of Frank (Dingle) Crouch- er of Detroit and a former Beau- mont star, ® L, Clarence Pfeil, captain, Bobby Moers, 3b (Senior), Johnny Hill, 1b (Senior). . Pete Layden, If (Junior), full- back on Longhorn football team. Joyce Rowe, rf (Junior). Fred Everett, ¢ (Senior), Mel Deutsch, p (Junior). Ned McDonald, p (Senior). Udell Moore, p (Junior), a son of veteran Wiley Moore of Okla- homa, ef (Senior), * Incidentally, gossip from the Long- horn campus has it that Dana X. Bible will have a greatly improved » footbali team there next fall, one that will give Texas a contender in the Southwest conference race for the first time in several years. Jack Crain, the sensational halfback whose long runs won several games for Texas last year and scared all other opponents, weighs 175, but the Zain of 10 pounds apparently has not reduced his speed. ene T DIDN'T Tast long, fortunate- ly, but that “norther” sweep- ing in on Seguin a few days ago brought one of the worst days Roy Johnson ever saw in a_ baseball spring camp. It sleeted a bit early in the morning and spit a little snow and this, with a howling wind out of the north and a temperature of 39 combined to produce a climate making an Oklahoma overcoat a very handy piece of equipment. “One spring the Kansas City club was training in Baton Rouge,” said Roy, “and we ran into even worse weather. We had a wind and snow flurry that kept us inside for three days. That was worse than this be- cause it lasted longer. At Catalina island one year they had a: rain- storm lasting a solid week and the Cubs couldn’t get out of their hotel.” Old-timers here recall a visit of the Continued on Next Page STAN SWATS WITH PAIR ON; GEORGE PITGHES PERFECT SAN ANTONIO, March 16—Stan- ley Schino and George Milstead, a couple of old Texas league warriors, led the Tulsa Oilers to a cleanly earned 9-to-7 victory over the St. Louis Browns of the American league this afternoon as both teams launched their spring exhibition sea- son. Schino started his 1940 comeback, auspiciously by. driving a three-run homer high and far over the left field fence in the first inning to put the Oilers off in the lead, and they never were behind. Big Stan also singled to start another Tulsa rally in the'third and finished his day by doubling’ to set up still another in the fifth. It was a great afternoon for the veteran Tulsa favorite, who had a bad year in 1939, and supplied evi- dence that maybe his batting slump of last summer was due to eye trouble caused by two abscessed molars which were extracted dur- ing the winter. Stan’s batting record for the day was three hits, three runs and three runs batted in. George Hurls Three Runless Ones. Milstead, wearing the customary red sleeves, made the Oiler victory possible by twirling the last three innings and_ shutting off the Brownies without a run. The score was tied at the end of the sixth and as the Oilers picked up their last two runs in the seventh and eighth Milstead became the winning pitcher. While big Stan.and Foxy George were the principal heroes in the Tulsa success, several of the new youngsters were very noticeable. Manager Roy Johnson used 19 play- ers, giving nearly everybody a chance to play rather than concen- trate on winning the game—which was of secondary consideration al- though very acceptable. Yet all 19 of the Oilers went through the con- test without making an error. This was a good deal more than could be said of the 22 Browns sent into action by Fred Haney. They com- mitted four bobbles, three of which figured in the Tulsa scoring. Zydowski Gets Two Blows. Next to Schino in the Tulsa of- fense was burly Ed Zydowski, the third baseman from Moline, a young- ster spotted on the Chicago sand- lots by Manager Johnson. Zydowski crashed out a single and two doubles in his three trips before giving way to Billy Capps in the fifth. He drove home two runs. Wally Carroll also had a big hand in the run mak- ing, driving in three counters with his single and double. The honor of sending the winning run over the plate went to Frank (Pat) Stasey, Tony Rego’s, little outfielder, who succeeded Schino in right after five innings. Stasey’s single in the sev- enth scored Eddie Waitku’s who had singled and reached second on a wild pitch by Nate Andrews, third Brown pitcher of the afternoon. Altogether the Oilers outhit the Browns 13 to 10, outfielded them decisively and led in everything ex- cept the control of pitchers. John Colmer, the big pitcher Tulsa bought from Los Angeles, struck out five in his three inning stretch starting the game.

Bernie Drees, a hard-working veteran who has been around tenpin’s top-flight for several years, provided the major changes here today as Kansas City aces fired in individual events of the Southwest tournament. None of the leaders were changed but for misfortune in the third game of each series Drees, who won the in 1935, could have taken over in the doubles and singles. S. W. all-events championship here In the two- man event Bernie and Johnny Hannis totaled 1,292 to take over fourth place. Then in the singles Drees shot 685 for sixth place, the only shake-up among the first 10. Six hundred series were plentiful, 13 of them being turned in during the afternoon, but none of them large enough to ‘dis- turb the top ranks. In the doubles Johnny Sachen and silver-thatehed Earl Shepperd took over fifth position with 1,286 and Bill Kuster and Dewey Bertoncin copped ninth with 1,256. Misses Cut Down Drees-Hannis Bud Tierney, who says: he is hav- ing his worst season since he was 16 years old—and he’s now up in the 20’s—paired with Daws Comins and they shot 1,248, well up in the money but not among the first 10.

Johnny started with a wide- open split then missed a couple of spares for 181. Bernie started with five strikes in a row, then left the 10 pin a couple of times and muffed it each team for errors. Those five opens—a difference of 50 pins— would have put them far in front. Bernie had a big chance in the singles after a start of 227 and 257. But he lost his strike ball and got only spares in the first four frames of the final game, had a wide-open split in the fifth. If he was to take the lead Drees needed to pile in strikes the rest of the way. He got a big portion of them until his ball went high in the tenth and left the four pin. When it stood his chances of overhauling Meryl Middaugh, who is leading with 708, were gone. Kuster Shoots 707 Series. Cut-up Bill Kuster was piling up strikes, both to the right and left of the head pin, in the doubles and shot the highest series of the day with 107 on singles of 215, 268 and 224. But his partner, Bertoncin, was get- ting into one bit of trouble after another with the ball he had dif- ficulty controlling and got no higher than 549.

M’KNIGHT « FORT WORTH, Texas, March 16 (®)—Scissor-legged Don Boydston, a boney Oklahoma A. & M. sopho- more from Sand Springs, drifted shockingly close to a world high- jump record in an unheralded per- formance of the Southwestern Expo- sition track and field meet here to- day. . Top team honors in the university division of a meet that attracted 1,210 athletes went to University of Texas, but Boydston slipped in the big thrill with a lean of six feet, 8% inches, The bar was hoisted to six 6 feet, 10 inches to give the skinny Sooner a chance at smashing the 6 feet, 9%4-inch mark held jointly by Dave Albritton and Melvin Walk- er, both formerly of Ohio State university. On the third try, with only a short jog of about 10 feet, Boydston barely tipped the bar and it tumbled into the pit after trembling on the standards. Stout winds wrecked many chances at track records and made the fea- ture 100-meter special event, won by.big Lonnie Hill, University of Texas sophomore, seem like a slow- motion event in 10.9 seconds. Hill drove hard in the closing yards to edge out by inches Welby Williams, little North Texas State Teachers college sophomore sensation. Deep in fifth position, still obvi- ously off his old sprinting form, was Freddie Wolcott of Rice institute, primarily one of the world’s greatest hurdlers but also Southwest confer- ence dash champion. One of the day’s big upsets oc- curred in the publicized football shuttle relay, little Texas Arts and Industries of Kingsville, Texas, beating out favored big brethern of the Southwest conference with @ sparkling 44.4 seconds perform- ance in the 400-yard shuttle race with footballs. North Texas Teachers finished second, East Texas Teachers, third and University of Texas, powered on the last lap by Cowboy Jack Crain, saved the Southwest confer- ence from a shutout by finishing fourth. Fourteen records tumbled in the various divisions, but only three, Boydston’s high jump; Boyce Gate- wood’s streaking 23.8 second per- formance in the 220-yard low hur- dies over a straightaway course, and North Texas Teachers college mile relay run of 3:21.4 were new all- meet marks—all divisions consid- ered! Final winners of the divisions: University—Texas. College— North Texas State Teachers. Junior college—Schreiner institute. Prep and freshmen—North Texas State Teachers. High school — Central, Oklahoma City; Highland Park, Dal- las, and Waurika, Okla., tied for second. Bespectacled Blaine Rideout made a runaway of the college mile, fin- ishing 100 yards in front of his field in the leisurely time of 4:17.6, three seconds slower than the mark he established last year. Beecher Huff, Brady high school’s fine hurdler, smashed a--220-yard low hurdle mark set up by’ Boyce Gatewood back in 1936 while an Electra schoolboy, with his 25- second performance today.

C. A. A. basketball elimi- nations by nudging the Oklahoma Aggies, 45 to 43, here tonight, but took an overtime session and some fancy long distance firing to do it. At the end of the regular playing period in ‘the slam-bang thriller, which kept most of the 5,000 fans on their feet, the score was knotted at 40 to 40 and the teams went into*, a five-minute extra period after a minute’s rest, é Ralph Miller, Kansas forward whose long shots kept the Jays in front most of the way, put his team in in the lead with a free throw soon after the overtime period started. Howerd Engleman, Kansas guard, added another one-pointer, but Jess Renick, the Aggies, sparkling guard, dunked his only field goal of the night to tie it up .again. Harp’s Only Goal Does It. Then Dick Harp of Kansas bagged his only bucket of the contest, a long looper that swished the net with little more than a minute remaining and put the Jayhawks ahead to stay. Renick added a free throw, but so did Engleman, and that was the size of the scoring as the 10 tired play- ers fought frantically for possession of the ball with neither side scoring from the flor in the final minute. -— se BURBANK, BYNG, NUYAKA CAPTURE COURT GROWNS Tourney Results GIRLS Bing 29, Caney 24.
