UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1936 Oregon, Washington Vie On Track Here Today Huskies Nose Out Oregon Baseball Nine In 5-4 Fray Visitors Count Twice in Sixth To Snatch Win McFatldcn Hit 13 Times By Graves’ Sluggers: Newcombc Stars 2ND TILTJTODAY Daly Allows Five Blows as Huskies Atltl to Lead of Northern Loop The University of Washington baseball team strengthened Its northern division lead by edging out Oregon in a tight Junior Week end ball game on Howe field yes terday, 5 to d. The teams play again this afternoon following the track meet. The Huskies found Don McFad dcn for four hits and three runs in the first inning, and those tallies eventually won the game. McFad den was touched for 13 hits (hiring the nine innings, hut the veteran righthander scattered them so ef fectively that Tubby Graves’ men were lucky to get the runs they did. Jack Daly, Washington south paw, limited the Webfoots to five safe blows, but those five came in the clinches. McFadden poked out • two of them himself, a double and a single, and drove in three of Ore gon’s runs. » Newcomb*1 Starts Things Wendell Newcombe, a slight, be spectacled outfielder who poked out four singles in five trips to the plate, opened the disastrous first with number one of those hits. Willie Hewson, veteran Husky shortstop, smashed a double into right field, sending Newcombe to third, and both runners cantered home as Ed Loverich, the fighting basketeer, singled to center. Three men up and three hits the score book read, and it looked like a very bad day for McFadden. The veteran bore down, however, and got Moore on a roller to the box and Rich on a pop fly to Mark DeLaunay at second. Loverich took second on Moore’s out, and when Dick Baker singled to ecn terfield the Olympic hoop alter nate raced home. Leiendecker hoisted to Bud Goodin to end the nightmare inning. Wcbfoots Fight Back Oregon fought back in the home half' of the first and pushed over two tallies on a single hit. Ralph Amato started it by working Daly for a walk. McLean was safe on a fielder's choice, Amato taking sec ond. Goodin flied to Leiendecker and Andy Burney whiffed, hut Bob Millard drew a pass to load the sacks. McFatUien was up, and the Webfoot luiilcr stepped into one of Daly’s offerings and lammed it down the third base line for two bases, scoring Amato and McLean. Lewis flied out. hut the Ducks had cut Washington's advantage to one run, and the rest of the tilt was hip and tuck. Courtney founts on Squeeze Hobson's crew tier the count in the third on the only error of the game and a single by Millard. Hewson, at short for the Huskies, turned in the boot, and Burney reached first on it. Millard sent Burney to third with his hit. and McFadden batted in his third run with a long fly to Loverich. Bill Courtney scored on a squeeze play in the fourth and Oregon went ahead, I to 3. Courtney drew a walk as first up in the frame, and he took second on DeLaunay 'a Single. The runner advanced a base on Amato'.; sacrifice, and then M - Lean laid down a perfect hunt on a. squeeze and Courtney scored. DeLaunay tried to tally on Catcher Dawes' throw to first on the play, But a return heave by second suck er Rich, covering first nipped him at the plate, preventing what turned out to be an import mt run The Wcbfoots clung to their lead until the sixtu, but in that frame it went up in smoke as foui suc cessive singles drove in two Hus ky markers. Daly, Newcombe. Hewson. and Loverich did the hit ting. Johnny Lewis grabbed Moore's drive at short and tossed to DeLaunay for a double play to stop the scoring at a pair of runs. A pair was all Washington need ed. After the fourth. Pitcher Daly was so hot that only two Oregon men reached first base, and both died there. Amato in the seventh and McFadden in the eighth got the hits, but team nates could not bring them around. Drama t arses Planned Mr. A.

Cross Fire By PAT FRIZZELL. Today is the biggest day of the year in Oregon athletics, at least in quantity. And in quality, too, for the best all-around program of sport to be crammed into 12 hours this year is on tap for students and their rqoms. Tiie Webfoots fight their old ri vals, the Washington Huskies, in track on Hayward field and in baseball on Howe field. But that isn’t all. There are varsity and frosh tennis matches with Oregon State on the campus courts and varsity and frosh golf on two courses with Beaver veteran and Rook divot-diggers. If that six-ply list of events, all with Oregon’s most bitter rivals as opposition isn't strong enough to satisfy every lad and lassie on the campus, and their elders too, nothing can please them. :;a *h ft Howard Hobson's husiiing Web foots are a game and one-half be hind Washington in the baseball race alter yesterday's Husky tri umph. Winning today means plen ty, therefore, and Hobby will roly on the sophomore southpaw, lioh .Millard, to turn back the niala j mutes. Millard has started and fin ished two ball games against con ference opponents and not a single earned run has been scored on him. Holding the Huskies, who murder the apple, in Ihe same kind of check is a tough assignment, hut it’s no impossibility. Mel Mar lowe of Washington State proved that in Washington's own baili wick at Seattle. Washington earned its win yes terday. \ team that pounds out i IS hits to an opponent’s live is de serving of a mark on the sunny side ol the ledger any day of the week. Nevertheless, it was a heart breaker for the Webfoots to lose. II Mark Ih'lmmay's slide to the plate in the fourth had been a trac tion of a second before the throw in instead of a fraction of a sec ond after, it might have gone into extra innings. OcLuumiy rounded third with v]ned to burn as Court ney scored and apparently had SI(iimn (Continued from paije one) "I'm Smith, one of tlie Smith Brothers. Whcreats the millraee?

One of these courses, enti tled technique of acting: children's drama, will be of particular inter est to teachers and those who arc planning to enter recreational j work. Rich’s throw beaten, but the Wash ington second sticker, covering first on the play, cut loose a rifle heave and Catcher Dawes tagged the Duck keystoner cleanly. “No, I don’t think this team is as good as any of the five straight pennant winners Washington had a few years back,” said Husky Coach Tubby Graves as he combed a dripping black head of hair in front of a mirror in the Igloo dress ing room after yesterday’s game. “But,” he continued, “it’s better than last year's team.” Coach Graves figures that his ball club hasn’t quite the hitting strength or the all-around baseball sense of some of the crews that copped the bunting prior to 1931 With the traditional pessimistic outlook of college mentors, Graves said he thought Washington State had the inside track to this year’s championship. He predicts a fight for second between Oregon and Washington, with Oregon State, which he calls underrated, also in the runner-up battle. Idaho, says Tubby, won’t be likely to finish higher than fourth. Graves says he will call upon cither Rudy Enquist or Lou Bud nick to do the chucking chores this afternoon. Major Letters Awarded Nine Duck Mermen Nine members of Mike Hoy man's varsity swimming team were awarded major letters by the ex ecutive council this week. Major awards are usually given only to football, basketball, baseball, and track men. Jim Heed was awarded a third letter and a varsity "O" blanket signifying three seasons of varsity competition. Heed and Forrest Kir by are the only graduating mem bers of the squad. Two-'stripe letters went to Charles Reed, Bob Chilton, Leon ard Scroggins, and Vernon Hoff man. First year awards were giv en to Jim Hurd, Bert Myers, and Harold Sexton. The Oregon swimmers were mythical coast champions, with victories over Stanford, California, San Jose State, and' Washington in dual meets and an easy win in the northern division conference mjeet here. The Webfoot mermen have not lost a dual meet for three years.

Third Start Set for Duck Cinder Crew Hayward Field Is Scene Of WU Engagement; Oregon Favored FIRST GUN AT 2 Washington Squad Bristles With Possible Olympic Candidates Two bitter rivals, the Univer sity of Oregon and tlve Univer sity of Washington, meet again today, this time on the cinder track. Out for revenge, the Ducks are considered slight favorites to win, but pre-meet performances indicate it to be any body’s victory. The meet starts'at 2 o’clock sharp, on Hayward field. A victory for the Webfoots would identify them as the out standing track team in the North west. Having defeated Washing ton State and humiliated Oregon State in the relays, the Oregon track squad has proven that it is powerful. However, the Washing ton Huskies come out of the North with a great reputation of their own. Husky Stars Plentiful The Washington squad is full of potential Olympic prospects.
