Tho Webfoots opened their sea son with a victory in the league relays and then followed up with a non-conference win over Fresno Stato last week. This is the only road trip of the regular season for the Ducks, who meet Stanford, Washington State and Oregon State at Hayward Field following the Husky meet. Oregon will once again be with out the servicos of Roscoe Cook in the 100, unless the co-holder of the world record improves rap idly late in the week. Jim Puckett (9-7), Jerry Stuhbleficld (9.8) and Jim Norval (9.9) will handle the Duck sprint entry unless Cook's ailing leg recovers. Oregon's strength lies In the track events, with Slg Ohlcmann scheduled to lead the Duck forces in both tho 410 and 880, Dyrol Burleson set for the milo run in a fine duel with Washington's Jack Larson, Dick Miller, who ran a 9:09.3 last week, scheduled for the two mile and Dave Edstrom, who becamo the third man in world history to score moro than 8.000 points in the decathlon, set for the hurdles. j in ine ueia events mil raquin (14-4) in the polo vault, Jerry Close in mc uoraa jump vzJ-111, stUDDie- j Hold in ine discus (liwsvt) and Murray Newton in the high Jump (6-3) all could finish ahead of Uie Washington forces. Tho Webfoots will have no par ticularly strong entry in the shot, having failed to score against Fresno in the event, and the en try in the javelin, D. C. Mills and Paul Bcrnirk, have not been close to their 1959 performances and will have a hard time matching John Douglas of Washington.

Dodgers, Phillies, Cubs, Pirates Win; Chicago Deals Giants First 19 60 loss By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS So it's early yet and it may not mean a thing, but Duke Snider and Gil Hodges, too old to do it again, and Ed Roebuck, a for gotten reliever, have the Los An geles Dodgers in first place at the moment. Snider belted a home run, his first hit of the season, and Hodges triggered a two-run ninth that gave Roebuck his first victory since 1957 in a 3-2 decision over winless St. Louis Thursday night. That hoisted the world champs into a share of the National League lead with San Francisco and the Chicago Cubs, who handed the Giants their first loss, 6-5, with a walk and wind-blowu double in Uil ninth. The Milwaukee Braves blew a three-run lead and lost 5-4 in 10 innings to the Philadelphia Phil lies, left without a manager when Eddie Sawyer called it quits earli er in the day. The Pittsburgh Pirates walloped Cincinnati 13-0 behind Vern Law's seven-hit pitch ing. A Win Via Wild Pitch A bases-loaded wild pitch by Beavers, Ducks Collide In Weekend ND Contests UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, (April 15) Oregon's youth ful Ducks, hampered through the bulk of the pre-conference season by bad weather, opened the 1960 Northern Division baseball race to day at Howe Field against the strong Oregon State Beavers. The two teams move to Corval lis for the second game of the series on Saturday and then the Webfoots return home for the se ries with Washington State, Idaho and Washington at Howe Jbield in the next two weeks. Coach Don Kirsch, who has di rected the Webfoots to four flags in the last seven ND pennant rac es, will probably start the season witn Letty jacK Loy ana tne start er on Saturday is still very much of a question mark. Kirsch will have Capt. Ron Wald behind the plate and will open with all-league Jim Hollister at first base, non-letterman Ed Davidson at second, Pete Gumina at short and either Walt Baranski or Bob Canessa at third base in his in field. Jim Bode, Dick Occhiuto and Butch Nyssen will probably be the opening day outfield, although Jack Luhrs or Ray Haroldson, nor mally a catcher, may move in. The bad weather has hampered the progress of the inexperienced Webfoot squad and Kirsch rates his team as being a week or two behind normal progress. "With as many young players as we have this season," he points out, "it's been tough to give them all a good chance in the few games we've been able to play." Top Shooters Listed Pete Serafin and Bill Brickey, with scores of 390X400, led Rose burg Rifle Club shooters at the Roseburg Rod and Gun Club, Win chester, this week. Rounding out the top 10 were: Deane Paulson 387; Vern Whitten burg 383; Paul Robinson 381; Sid Comfort 380; Mike Cavin 375; Mil dred Comfort 369; Gene Arthur 367; and Ken Cloake 366.. losing reliever Bob (Och) Duliba won it for the Dodgers. The Giants, who overcame Er nie Banks' third-inning grand slam homer with home runs by Willie Kirkland and Willie Mc Covey, were beaten when reliever Billy O'Dell walkod Bob Will in the ninth and Thomas lofted.-a two-out fly ball. The ball dropped for a double behind short and Will was home. Don Elston, second of four Cub pitchers, won it in relief of starter Seth Morehead, wh gave up a third Giant homer to Orlando Cepcda. The Phillies, directed by coach Andy Cohen while awaiting the arrival of new manager Gene Mauch from the Minneapolis Mill ers of the American Assn., chased Milwaukee starter Carl Willey with three sixth-inning runs on homers by Bobby Del Greco and winning reliever Don Cardwell. In the 10th, Del Greco walked, stole second against losing reliever Juan Pizarro and scored on Joa Koppe's single. Hank Aaron and Joo Adcock hit home runs for the Braves in a three-run first against left-hander Curt Simmons, trying for a come back with the Phillies. Al Dark put away the 2,000th hit of hij career with an infield single for the Phils. Law, Pittsburgh's top winner last year, didn't walk a man and struck out two. The Bucs, rapped Cal McLish, a Cleveland ace last season, for five extra base hits and a 5-0 lead in three innings. Bob Clemente, 3-for-3, drove in five runs and Bill Mazeroski, who homered, drove in four as Law won his fifth in a row against tha Reds at Forbes Field since 1956. In the American League, still playing exhibitions, Baltimore beat Kansas City 3-0, Cleveland defeated Boston 5-1, Detroit smacked Washington 8-3, and the New York Yankees out-slugged their Richmond farm club in the International League 15-10.
