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.

This dual track and field meet
with Washington State on Hay

means more to Hayward and the

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

PLENTY close in track. The
Ducks are plenty sore about this

Yearlings’ First Start in
Two Weeks Is Scheduled
For This Friday
The University of Oregon fresh
m<an baseball team will play Salem
high school Friday afternoon at
Salem, weather permitting. It will
be the first start in two weeks for
John Warren's club. A return con
test with Holly Huntington's Vik
ings is scheduled for Eugene on

The Ducklings have played four
games against high school oppo
sition and have lost three. In an
effort to bolster the percentage
Warren will send Bill Sayles, his
ace pitcher, to the mound at Salem.
Sayles has not pitched since the
first game of the season almost a
month ago, due to a pulled leg
muscle.
Other yearling starters will be
Lee Irwin, catcher; Gale Smith,
first base; Phil Thompson, second;
Joe Gordon, shortstop; Ford' Mul
len, third base, and Jimmy Nich
olson, John Yerby, Dave Gammon
or George Jackson, outfielders.

Sigma Hall Today for
Tennis First Place
By capturing the singles and
first doubles, the ATO netmen
downed the Fiji's to capture the
upper bracket position in the semi
finals of the men’s intramural
tennis tournament. The ATO’s will
meet Sigma hall, the other finalist,
at 4:00 p. m. tomorrow for the
finals of the tournament.
The Fiji’s captured first blood
when Platt and Benton, dorm
dwellers, downed Scott and Spears
6-4, 6-1. The ATO’s came back in
the singles with Boyd defeating
Pvourke 5-7, 6-4, 6-0. Anderson and
Ballew of the Hotel then defeated
Beck and Kriesien.
The ATO victory came as a sur
prise, as the Fiji team was con
sidered much stronger. In spite of
their upset, the ATO's are rated
as second best when they meet
Sigma hall tomorrow for the
championship.

The Washington State-Oregon
baseball game was called in the
sixth inning with the score tied.
The large crowd, attracted by the
sunshine of early afternoon, quick
ly dispersed to seek shelter.
Students caught on the campus
in light summer clothing waited
for the storm to cease. Many gave
up to remove their shoes and other
surplus clothing to dash to their
homes for dinner. Threats of
water - bagging and millracings
failed to arouse fear as the
drenched students arrived at their
various houses. The College Side
was the haven for many, to await
taxies and cars of friends. Thir
teenth street was running full to
the curb.
One student was observed skat
ing in a pair of blue swimming
trunks, nonchalantly holding an
umbrella over his head. Another
lad dashed clear across the campus
in borrowed swimming trunks
leaving his clothes behind in the
dry.
Downtown Also Wet
The business district downtown
was paralyzed. McMorran and
Washburne, the r leading depart
ment store in the heart of the
city, closed its door at 5 o'clock
because of the torrent. Business
men held that it was the worst
rain a in their memory. Stanley
Stevenson, druggist, reported the
loss of several hundred dollars
worth of drugs in his stores.
Irish’s grocery store reported that
sugar and flour stored in their
1 basements was lost.
