By BOB RIDDLE Buck Bailey’s Cougars of Wash ington State college gave the Ore gon Webfoots their second straight drubbing Saturday when they de feated the Duck nine, 7 to 2, be hind the pitching of Coleman and Estel. The visitors started the fire works early with three runs in the first inning, as a result of a walk and three successive hits. Ike Do nin, Admiral Bill Reinhart’s choice to chuck for the Oregon team, hurled good ball from then until the sixth when the Cougars added three more on three hits and an error, Arbelbide’s double with the bases loaded being the pay-off blow of the inning. Coleman Holds Ducks Coleman, a lanky young subma rine-ball hurler, breezed along in great style until the seventh, and allowed only two hits, both infield singles during this time. In the seventh, however, Reinhart’s lads showed their real spark, and scored their only two runs of the contest. King pinch hit for Bob Chatterton and drew a walk, and was followed by Ossie Edwards, another pinch hitter, who connectetd for the cleanest hit of the day for the Webfeet, a single to left field. Pal mer and Shaneman continued the short-lived rally with singles which scored the two markers. Lineup Shifted Bill Reinhart, far from satisfield with the showing made by the Ducks afield, shifted the lineup again, moving Londahl back to his old post at second, and placing Cliff Potter on third base. The new combination looked a little better in the brief period it dis played its ability. Ken Scales, a pitcher, held down the left field berth for the last two innings of the game and looked fine. He made the best outfield play of the tilt when he received a sacrifice fly in the eighth and caught the run ner trying to make home from third with a perfect peg to the plate. Ollic Arbelbide, sophomore first sacker for the Cougars, again led the hitting parade. He made three hits in five trips to the plate. As in the first contest, he was a con stant menace to opposing pitchers, especially when he came up with team mates on the paths. McCall, play jpg his first conference ball at first base, handled 14 chances with out a bobble. Columbia Takes Game From Willamette Mine PORTLAND, Ore., May 9—(AP) •—Willamette university outhit Co lumbia university, 11 to 5, here today, but lost tlreir baseball game 0 to 10 because of six errors and some timely bits by the Irish. Russell Doesher pitched all but the last out for the Willamette Bearcats. Hicks had the Salem collegians hitting pop flies most of the time. Coach “Spec" Keene and 12 of his ball players left Portland to day, headed for Tacoma to play two northwest conference baseball games with College of Puget Sound. Six of his players drove straight through and did not play in today's game. AH-Campus Tourney Entries Lrgecl To Play Participants in the various all campus tourneys now under way must play their matches off by to morrow if they are behind the times set as limits for each round Earl Boushey, supervisor of in tramural athletics, who issued the above edict, is anxious to com plete the games. Oregon’s Pitchers Deliver; Bobby Grayson Speeds It Up - By DICK NEIBERGEK - TO date Oregon’s baseball team has been exactly the reverse of all it was expected to be. The pre-season prognostications figured the Webfoots to be strong afield and at the plate but weak on the Ike Donin pitching mound. Thus far the situation has been a , direct opposite. The fielders and hitters have failed, distressingly, but the pitchers have performed in en couraging style. The fact Oregon has lost three con secutive games cannot be blamed upon the hurlers. They worked more than satisfactorily in all three encounters. It was flimsy, tissue-paper support that frittered away the ball games. Although Ken Scales was not quite himself in the first Washington State engagemt nt, steady fielding probably would have enabled ti e Webfoots to stay in the fight. The Cougars v ere getting hold of Ken's delivery just often enough to make brilliant support impera tive. But brilliant support he did get. Virtually every ball hit to the left side of second base was a safe hit and the visitors won, 8 to 3. Through no particular fault of Ike Donin, Washington State took the second game as easy as rolling off a log. They won that one, 7 to 2. * * * I was over at Corvallis at the state high school track meet and did not see the second contest, but everyone who was there tells me Donin didn’t get the help his pitching merited. Thus the Webfoots find them selves on the brink of dropping out of the championship race, yet their pitchers, supposed to be the I weak link in the entire team, are functioning far more efficiently than any other department. It’s evidently up to the batters and fielders to take a new lease on life. Strikeouts with men on bases and errors that put opposition runners on the paths spell disaster with a capital “D.” Those who saw the last Cougar game say Slug Palmer looked pretty fair in center field and may play that position regularly hence forth. Mimnaugh also did some nice work in right. At present Mike Mikulak is traveling around between third base, first base and left field. He hasn’t gotten set tled yet, but may start hitting as soon as he does. To date he hasn’t slugged his weight in eider-down. It looks as if two of the pitchers —Ken Scales and Ossie Edwards— are going to be the pinch-hitters of the club. Thus far they’ve been as effective in the tight places as anyone else. Chappie King, the boy wonder, also may see service as a pinch-hitter. * a= * Idaho comes here Wednesday and Thursday. The Vandals are not nearly so formidable as those ferocious Cougars, for which the Webfoots should thank their lucky stars. If Oregon can come around and take a pair from Idaho, there may be some hope yet. Two vic tories would put the Webfoots back at .500, and from the halfway mark it’s not far to the head of the parade. Saw Bobby Grayson run wild at Corvallis last week. The stalwart Jefferson high school flash is faster than ever. He stepped off the 100 in :09.9 and did the 220 yard low hurdles in :25.5, both new records. Grayson is a remarkably powerful runner and busts into the hurdles like an express train. It doesn’t even throw him off stride if he knocks over a couple. With his terrific speed and drive, Bob will make a great football player for some college. He weighs al most 190 pounds now. Don Moc broke the course rec ord at the Eugene golf club the other day. There’s no grass grow ing under Don’s shoes. He's al ready started to get ready for the defense of his Western amateur ! championship this summer, and the chances arc he'll make a stiff fight fer it once more. At the same time that he’s getting the rust off his shooting irons, Don continues to be one of the leading students of the law school. He has the happy knack of being able ! to combine work and pleasure so j that neither suffers from lack of attention. Referring again to the Oregon baseball outlook, there’s no doubt that the lads have been handi capped deplorably this year by the lack of adequate practice sessions. The weather until a week ago was so fierce it was worth a man’s life even to try to get in any read practice drills. Baseball is one game you can’t indulge in skill fully without plenty of practice. Until the first game against Oregon State, the Webfoots had had only three full-length drills. Think of it! Playing conference 1 baseball after only three workouts Imagine trying to give a piano re cital after only three lessons! The situations are comparable. The weather is perking up a bit now, however, and the Oregon boys may get under way. It’s a certainty that all the rainy days of last month were the main factors in their slow start.

Yeomen, SAE Win Playoff Gaines In Donut Finals Independents and Dells To Battle for Chance at ’32 Soft Ball Title Sigma Alpha Epsilon anti the Yeomen soft ball nines produced victories yesterday in the first of the playoff games for the intra mural championship. The SAE swatters, by eking out a victory over Sigma Alpha Mu, 4 to 3, earned a place in the finals, while the independents, who mistreated Sigma hall to win by a score of 10 to 1, will play the Delta this afternoon at 4 o’clock, for the right to battle in the title game. The S A E-SAM fray was a tight pitchers’ struggle, with Don Eva of the victors and Les Goldschmidt showing the sluggers of both squads how not to hit. The mas sacre of Sigma hall by the Yeo men was a case of too much Sol Schneider, independent pitcher, who fanned eight derm hitters. Webfeet To Open Two-Game Series With Idaho Tomorroiv 1 Reinhart Slates Changes in Starting Line-up Before Vandal Clash University of Oregon will open a two-ganie baseball series with Idaho at Reinhart diamond Wed Thursday starting at 4 o’clock. Despite Ore gon's double de feat by Washing ton last week-end, Bill Reinhart, Wcbfoot coach, believes the Ducks are im proving daily and Tex Mininnugn will continue to do so with the coming of hot weather. Oregon's pitching, considering the few opportunities the mounds men have had to work outdoors, is really better than expected and as soon as the club starts hitting as it did last year, the Webfoots will be a threat to any team in the conference in Reinhart’s opinion. Several changes may be made in the lineup. There is a possibility that “Lefty" McCall, who played first base against the Cougars, may give way to Mike Mikulak, hard-hitting outfielder. Lee Ches ter, last year's first sacker, sprained his ankle early in the year and he hasn't been able to get around yet. Later Lee may get his old job back, unless Mikulak ousts him. Tex May Play Second A change also may be made at second. Three years ago Tex Mim naugh handled the keystone sack but the last year and this he has r been playing in right field. As Gip Chatterton, sophomore, has a brok en finger on his throwing hand, Reinhart is seriously considering moving Mimnaugh to second and sending Cliff Horner to right field. Cliff was a substitute for two sea sons, but stands an excellent op portunity of breaking in as a reg ular this year. Kermit Stevens is a fixture at short and Captain Londahl at third. Johnny will be more valuable as a third sacker as his throwing im proves. He is a good fielder. Ste vens, when right, is the best short stop in the northwest, not even ex cepting McLarney, the Cougar gob. Scales Looks Good Ken Scales did so well in left field Saturday, after he replaced Mikulak, who gave way for a pinch hitter, that he may find himself as a regular when not pitching. Ken is Oregon's mainstay on the mound, but because of his fine hit ting and excellent fielding and throwing, he is too valuable to sit on the bench when not on the mound. Slug Palmer seems to have won a place in center field. Slug needs work and he'll get it this week. The YVebfoot pitching staff seems as strong as the others in the conference. Scales is good and Ike Donin looked promising against the Cougars. Edwards may come through, and if he does, he will be a valuable asset to the club. Johnny Anderson, who won fame as a swimmer, seems to be an ex cellent relief hurler. Rain Hampers Idaho As for the Vandals, they also have been troubled by bad weather and should get going by the Ore gon series. Although the Vandals Donut Golfing Crown Goes To Sigma Chi Smith, Weimar Star for Victorious Team Sigma Phi Epsilon Downed In Play ■ Off for Championship Sigma Chi won the intramural golf championship Sunday on the Eugene Country club course by overcoming Sigma Phi Epsilon, 6la to 21£, in the title match. Only three of the originally slated four contests were played, as the vic tors had enough margin as a re sult of #he trio of frays. In the battle between the No. 1 man of each aggregation, Duane Frisbie of the SPE roster took two out of thr$e points from his foe, Ken Swan. "Ross Smith, the Sigma Chi No. 2 bag toter, trounced A1 Schmidt, three points to none. Harry Weimar cinched the crown for the conquerors when he garnered two and a half tallies from the SPE fairway artist, Bob Anderson. The fourth fracas between Bill Goodwin, the Sigma Chi mashie swinger, and Fred Davis of the Sigma Phi Epsilon combination was called off. are but a few miles from Pullman, Washington State’s home, they have no field house in which to practice, and as a result must de pend entirely on outdoor workouts. The Cougars have made excellent use of their field house this spring and when they came here they seemed in mid-season form. DO YOU INHALE? I < opr . 1932.
