.Tack Benefiel, graduate manager,
had company yesterday. About three
o’clock in the afternoon when Ore
gon s cnecKor on
tho student body
coffers was busy
in lii.s office, in . ,
walked a Mr. (lene j
Murphey and 14 ■
stalwart Columbia
University base
ball players all
ready for a game.
It all caught our
Mr. Benefit! un
awares. In fact., :
it almost staggered ;
tho Mr ‘Rnnp.f Ifll. """
who iff rePu.ted to chick Gannon
get everything ho
■wants at a Pacific coast conference
meeting. Here lie was in ..a sad pre
dicament—a baseball team already
in Eugene to jday a contest that had
had no publicity.
Por the last two days Bcnefiel had,
been negotiating by telegraph with
the Columbia University officials.
An endeavor to re-schedule the two
postponed games with Columbia
caused a mix-up. Anyway, the Ore
gon varsity met the Cliffdwellcrs
before a small crowd yesterday Ii
afternoon. |s
Many Home Runs Featured :s
It is a sliamo that the audience
was so small. Nothing is more in- ^
teresting to the average baseball
fan than home runs and plenty of n
hits. Home runs were the feature v
of Oregon’s 15 to 7 win over Go- *
lumbia. Seven of them only added '
more interest to the contest which 1
saw 29 safe bingles fly to all parts 1
of Reinhart diamond. 1 *
W. James (Chick) Gannon took up (a
the pitching burden for the Web- 1
foots at the beginning of Mr. Bene- ,
fiel’s surprise party. He allowed a
14 safe hits but kept them well '
scattered and the visiting Catholic 1
nine could make them count for only \‘
seven runs. Mr. Gannon's right!
flipper was slightly sore at the start f
of the contest and by the ninth it -
evidently caused him some pain. *
After holding the Portland team
I scoreless from the fourth inning,
four safe hits gave them three
counters in the ninth. At the jdate -
Mr. Gannon’s performance probably <
excelled that of the mound. In four
trips to the rubber, he made them ;
count for a quartet of runs. The
first two times up he flrew walks 1
but garnered safe blows on the next -
two,
Columbia Scores First
When everything seemed to bo
going good for Mr. Gannon or the
two Columlijp hinders, Messrs. Kay
Herman and Mike Henry, a homo
run would clear the bags. Home
runs put Mr. Herman on the blink
and Ilenry replaced him in the third.
Columbia drew blood in the first
inning when Ilecnan drove out a
four-base hit. The Webfoots, not to
be outdone, scored three in their
half 'of the first canto. Ridings
singled .and then Edwards and Epps
each poled out home runs. A walk,
