UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1936 Cloudburst Stops 1-1 Pitchers’ Battle Between LO-WSC Cougars Knot Score in Fifth Frame to Save Game; Contest Today Depends on Sun An untimely thunderstorm ru ined a beautiful pitching duel be tween Don McFadden of Oregon and Bob Kinnaman of Washington State here yesterday afternoon and sent the Webfoots and Cougars to the showers in the first half of the sixth inning with the score an un satisfactory 1-to-l tie. McFadden was going great guns and' Oregon was clinging to a l-to-0 lead as the last of the fifth began, and the Duck players, with an eye cast toward the black clouds above, had only to get the Cougars out in that one frame to seal the ball game, five innings constituting a regulation contest. The rain began, however, and Buck Bailey’s hustling Pullmanites pushed over a run to knot the count. As the sixth opened the rain poured down in cloudburst propor tions and the ball was so slippery that McFadden was unable to con trol it, walked Rightfielder Bishop on four pitched balls. With re newed fury the elements struck and, amid thunder and lightning, players, coaches, and fans set sail for McArthur court and shelter. “It'll rain ’till the Fourth of July,’’ bellowed ponderous Buck Bailey in disgust. “We could go out there in a boat.” And Buck's statements reflected opinion on both sides, for one of the scrappiest ball games seen here in some time, had been oblit erated. If the sun comes out and shines until game time today it may he possible for the teams to play the scheduled game for Thursday. Yes terday’s fray was staged on the practice diamond below Howe field. McFadden had allowed the Cou gars just four hits and the Web foots had gleaned only three off Kinnaman when the downpour be gan. Only a single error, that an excusable drop of a hard throw at third base by Bud Goodin, marred' an otherwise flawleess exhibition. Oregon’s run came in the sec ond, and before and after that can to not one of Howard Hobson's batsmen reached first base. Kin naman struck out seven in the five innings and whiffed Goodin, Lewis, and DeLaunay in succession in the fourth. Handy Andy Hurney, who won a game for the Ducks with a home run at Corvallis last week, started the fireworks again yesterday. As first up in the second he swung slow on a fast ball and it curved over the infield between first and second, hit near the foul line, and kept rolling. Before Bishop could retrieve the pellet, Hurney was on third. Handy Andy waited impatiently at the hot corner while Kinnaman whiffed Goodin and John Lewis in succession, but little Mark De Launay strode to the plate and pasted a sharp single into center field to score Hurney. Catcher John Thomas followed with a Texas leaguer over second base, and McFadden drew a pass, filling the sacks. With more runs on tap, Bill Courtney fouled out to Max Schoening at third. The run that enabled the Cou gars to scratch through without the scars of defeat cams in the fifth, when rain had already begun to pelt the diamond. Schoening, batting star of the day with two blows up. socked a single into left to start proceedings. Frank Hoop er, the basketball howitzer expert, laid a perfect bunt down the first base line and Schoening took sec ond as Courtney tagged Hooper. Corky Carlson beat out a hit to short on a close play, sending Schoening to third. With runners on first and third. Kinnaman drove a bounder toward Mark DeLaunay at second. DeLau nay made a beautiful stop and tossed to Lewis in the nick of time for a forceout of Carlson, but Schoening scored on the play. Bishop also hit into a DeLaunay to-Lewis force play, retiring the side. DeLaunay's fielding around the keystone sack v. a feature of the s PORT CHA By Dan E. Clark, II T ANKLE-DEEP in water this scribe sits at his typewriter, casting damp glances at the on coming flood. The hallway of the journalism shack is knee-deep in water and there are rumors that the state AAU swimming meet Friday will be transferred to the journalism shack. More water from the hall. It’s six inches deep now . . . Hayward is said to have asked Mike Hoyman to have Jims Reed and Hurd come back from the meet Friday, in which they are doped to take not a few top hon ors, in time to compete in the track Oregon-WSC fiasco Satur day. Hurd should be able to take his usual first in the 100 over the drowned bodies of Shoemake and Lloyd. Knee deep in the flood . . . This dual track and field meet with Washington State on Hay ward field Saturday is the most important one in the Northwest for the Ducks this year. It really means more to Hayward and the boys than the Pacific coast meet at Los Angeles in a way, because they're out for BLOOD! For the past two years WSC has just skinned by Oregon by a fraction of a point, and that’s PLENTY close in track. The Ducks are plenty sore about this and Saturday’s meet will see some of the best contests ever staged on Hayward field. It’s up to m’waist, 'n it’s cooolkl . . . When a track meet is as close a contest as the meets between Oregon and WSC have always been, and as Saturday’s certainly promises to be, it’s one of the most thrilling affairs in the sports world. Up to the chin . . . The way the women scream when the sprinters tear down that stretch would make anyone's back tingle and the meet Saturday should be the most closely con tested one of the year.

His headlong dash to the left and miracle stop and throw to first of Bishop's hard drive in the third was a play seldom seen in college ball.
