, That left field fence on Howe
fie'd we clamored for last spring is
■snore than just a dream now. Ath
let.c Manager Anse Cornell says
St may be a reality before the sea
por. ends.
Oh so many two-baggers trickled
totter that bank last season for
home runs. Home runs in the score
hook we should say. Power hitting
• should be rewarded, but if its just
a low liner it’ll just bounce against
the boards for a double.
In last season’s final game here
against Oregon State about six
halls went for home runs, and only
one was hit well enough to clear
the ordinary fence.
Anse Cornell this week said that

If our dream comes true it'll be
a six-foot board fence running
close and parallel to the bank,
joianig with the south or right
field fence at right angles.
This would make a long center
fle d. Coach Hobson said the fence
would be better from a baseball
standpoint several yards in from
the bank. Otherwise, the boys
would really have to rap one to
clear the wall.
Only objection is that the scen
ery might not be so good with
fer.ee and bank several yards apart.
The sightliness must be considered.
Put the fence where they may,
well .still heartily endrose it.
IVY here they place it will rather
regulate the amount of home runs,
J)-at least they won’t get as
commonplace as Coast 1 e a g u e
two-baggers. What’s a home run
when it isn’t a home run?

The husky California hurler gets
credit for the win, too, for he
relieved Bob Hardy after four inn
ings with the score tied at 3-all,
and finished—winning his own
game. He was touched for only
two singles and a lone run in the
last five innings.
Well Played
For an opening game it was
beautifully played. Oregon's
smooth - working infield of Smith,
Coleman, Gordon, and Mullen had
only one error, and the Pilots
up with but two.
The Ducks opened with a three
run flurry in the first inning on
two hits off right-hander Bill
O’Donnell, but from then to the
end touched him for only three
safe blows. Two of them were
triples by Hardy and Masa Kato,
center fielder, and number three
was the aforementioned homer by
Creighton.
Father Lane’s Pilots had their
big inning in the fourth when a
double and a single off Hardy |>
were converted into a brace of
runs. 1
Second baseman Jack Coleman
led off in Oregon’s big first inning
on a walk, took second when Mc
Ginnis booted Ford Mullen’s
grounder, and scored' on a single '<
into left field by Wimpy Quinn.
Quinn Steals Four
Mullen advanced from first to
third on the play, and scored on a
wild pitch by hurler O’Donnell and
Quinn had meanwhile taken third
on the pild pitch, and he stole
home to slide under the throw.
The ex-Grant high star stole three
other bases.
Portland reached Creighton for
two successive one-base hits in
the eighth, and converted them

For Top Spot in Net
By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC
With two tentative team positions already made and others to he
decided within the next few days, the varsity tennis team gradually
rounded into shape yesterday with nearly all of the elimination tourna
ment matches completed.
The number one position on the team will probably be decided
today when Les Werschkul, outstanding sophomore prospect this year,
Clark Wins Top Spot
On Frosh Net Spuad
Other Players Also
Given Ratings b y
Coach Washke
Leonard Clark, top ranking jun
ior tennis ace in the city of Port
land, gained a tentative top posi
tion on the frosh tennis squad
yesterday when he routed his
Rose City colleague, Dick Philipi,
6-0, 6-2, in the final match of the
frosh eliminations.
The diminutive southpaw used
everything in the book in outpoint
ing his taller opponent, and was
complete master of the situation
throughout the match. Phillipi
had difficulty in controlling his
shots, and was unable to cope with
the placements offered by Clark.
Bob Engelke gained the number
three position on the squad by
winning a tough match from Dale
Helikson, 6-4, 7-5, and Lee Ren
nolds won fourth spot with his
victory over Chuck Carpenter
Monday. Tentative ratings given
,out by Coach Washke yesterday
were: one, Leonard Clark; two,
Dick Phillipi; three, Robert En
gelke; four, Lee Rennolds; five,
Estley Schick; six, Dale Helikson;
; seven, Bill Lonigan.
into one run on some freakish
fielding. Moosie Graser, who led
with a hit to just out of Mullen's
reach back of third, reached third
on blooper to center by “Rabbit”
Layton, left fielder.
When Eob Beard fired the ball
to second to nip Layfon on a steal,
the ball trickled under him as he
slide. While Jack Gordon was
frantically hunting it, Moosey
scored. That was the only time
Creighton was in trouble.
Fielding gem of the afternoon
was turned in by brother Wally
Graser at shortstop in the second j
inning when he robbed Coleman of
a hit. Running deep, with his back
to the ball, Graser made a bare
handed stabbing catch of Cole
man’s looping fly.
Coach Hobson is expected to use
pitchers LeRoy Mattingly and j
John Linde against the Pilots in1
Portland today.
BROWSING BOOKS ADDED

last year’s squad, in the finals
match of the tournament.
Werschkul turned in the surprise
win of the oumament when he up
set Bill Zimmerman, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2,
in their semi-final match Tuesday
afternoon. The blond sophomore
showed greatly improved form over
his season on the frosh team, and
is expected to give Crane a tough,
battle for top honors.
Crane Beats Williams
Crane stopped Dick Williams in.
their semi-final match, 8-6, 6-1 to*
gain a place in the fnial bracket,
Williams started strongly in his
first set with Crane, but the more
experienced veteran rallied and
coasted to an easy win in the sec
ond set.
Ellsworth Ellis gained a tenta
tive fourth position on the squad
when he eliminated Jack Crawford
in straight sets, 6-0, 6-3. Crawford
was tentatively placed in the num
ber seven berth by Coach Paul
Washke.
Final positions will probably be
decided over the weekend in order
that the team will be prepared to
meet Oregon Normal school in the
first match of the season next
Tuesday. The match will be played
on the University courts.
Washke’s racqueteers will have
their first taste of out-of-state
competition on Saturday, May 9,
when they met the Gonzaga Bull
dogs here.
Eaton Upset
Jack Crawford gained a surprise
win over Charlie Eaton, third man
of last year’s squad, 6-1, 6-1 Tues
day afternoon. The loss was the
second of the tournamnet for Ea
ton, who loses his chance to play
number three again this season.
In the consolation bracket Karl
Mann, top man on last year’s frosh
team, gained a right to play Rex
Applegate in the finals of the first
round losers’ side, by defeating his
ex-teammate, Don Good, 6-2, 6-3.
Applegate won a default over Bob
Vaughn to gain his berth in the
finals.
