Oregon Nine Loses to Idaho Vandals, 2 to 1 Fourth Consecutive Loss Handed Ducks By Pitcher Gregory By ELBERT HAWKINS Another tearful ninth inning, a few errors, and the pitching of a tall lad from Potlatch, Idaho, Earl Gregory, yesterday combined to shove Oregon’s defending champions just a notch deeper in the northern division cellar. * Pitcher Gregory kept Oregon batters in the hole from start to finish, yielding but five hits, and enabled the Idaho Vandals to sneak off Howe field with a 2 to 1 victory. They play again today at 3 o’clock. It wasn’t all a snap for Forrest Twogood’s outfit though, for Hob by Hobson’s slumping Webfoots put on a belated ninth inning rally that ended only with the tying run on third—a run which might have scored moments earlier. Plenty of Rain Not even .April showers on the second of May could stop the game, which was delayed for a half hour in the fourth inning. The game was started by mutual agreement on a muddy diamond, and finished that way. Errors, bugaboo of the other three losses in Oregon’s losing streak, again cost Oregon and Pit cher Bob Creighton yesterday’s game. The Vandals get their two runs in the fourth inning on three hits and an error, the last run being unearned. Creighton retired after four inn ings with a sore arm in favor of Southpaw John Linde, who allowed just two singles in the last five innings. Ducks Try Hard Oregon’s sad ninth inning rally started when Wimpy Quinn doubled off Left Fielder Spieuzza’s glove with one man out. It was Quinn’s first hit off Gregory. Spi cuzza dove for the ball but couldn’t hold it. Jack Gordon hit a Texas leaguer into right field, but Quinn in rounding third saw the relay throw to Gregory hit in the diamond, and made a dive for third base again. Gregory then flicked the ball to second base where Gordon -was caught sliding. That made it two away, "and Relief Pitcher John Linde flied to left to end the game. vauurns r iciu v»cll Idaho’s infield gave Gregory | beautiful support throughout, cut ting off several balls hit by Web foots which were apparently head-, ed for hits. Wayne West,'second,1 and Bill Kramer, first, turned in j thfe game’s only double play. Oregon failed to touch Gergory, for a hit until the sixth inning when Ford Mullen, lead-off, tapped j one over Kramer’s head into right. Bob Hardy, hitting for Beard in the seventh, doubled with Jack Gordon on second to drive in Ore-i gon’s only run of the game. Gor- j doh, who led Duck hitters for the ! game with two in four trips up, j had previously singled to center. Idaho’s big inning, the fourth, j opened quietly when West rolled i out via shortstop, but Spicuzza! then singled to right. He scored! when Catcher Price lined a triple j to left field. Ken Battleson kicked the ball in retrieving it, and Price scampered home for Idaho’s second and final run. 1 In a student poll, University of Pittsbur gh undergraduates en dorsed Anthony Eden’s foreign policy for England.

The new date will be in conflict with the second Oregon - Idaho baseball game to be held today, but it was found impossible to move it to any other date. There are no open dates during the soft ball schedule, and final examina tions follow close on the heels of the play-offs for the intramural softball championships. All four games that were to be played Thursday will be changed, and will be held today on the field they were originally set for. Duck Grid Ali-Stars To Practice Today The Webfoot All-Stars will hold an important practice session on Stoddard flats this afternoon, and all ex-varsity and alumni members of the squad are asked to be ready to start practicing at 4:30 o’clock sharp. Arrangements have been made with Coach Tex Oliver and Equip ment Room Tycoon Walt Bonney to secure shoulder and hip pads for today’s practice, and some time will be spent on tackling and block ing dummys. Following this a hard dummy scrimmage will be held in order that timing of plays may be perfected. Latest recruits to the All-Star squad are reported to be Johnny Kitzmiller, one of Oregon’s great est backfield stars and for three years backfield coach here, and Orville “Red” Bailey, star end in 1930-31-32. end of the first nine and won four holes in the second nine to defeat Hunter one up.

Fajvored by ideal weather conditions, and a stimulating 6 to 1 win over Idaho Friday afternoon, the Duck racqueteers ran through the Cougar singles men without losing a set, despite the fact that Warren's Frosh Drillfor Opening] OSC Rook Game ° 8 o ’ Ducklings Win Over Silverton Team in Game Saturday With the first of the Oregon frosh-OSC rook games set for next Saturday, “Honest” John Warren yesterday drove his freshman base ball squad through a hitting prac tice to have them in readiness for the contest. Despite the rain and mud, War led the Ducklings down on the mud flats and ordered a batting drill. By the time the practice was over, the balls were so soaked the water could almost be squeezed out of them. Igoe Does Well Warren appeared well satisfied with the hurling of Pete Igoe, freshman fireball righthander, who allowed Silverton high school only five hits in winning Saturday’s contest, 6 to 1. The hitting could stand a great improvement, the Duckling coach intimated. Leading the Duckling hitters in the contest Saturday was Herbert Hamer who poled out a homer, his second of the year and his second in as many games. Warren failed to name his start (Please tarn to page seven) they were lacking the services of Ellfeworth Ellis, No. 3 man. Ellis suffered a bad knee injury during the Idaho match, but recovered enough to play doubles with Les Werschkul Saturday. Crane Wins Easily Leading off for the Ducks in singles competition, Captain Larry Crane breezed through John Egan, Cougar ace, 6-3, 6-1. In the No. 2 singles match, Les Werschkul, top ranking sophomore, played a somewhat reckless but ef fective game in defeating Don Bor ton, 6-3, 7-5. °° Replacing Ellsworth Ellis in the No. 3 position, veteran Bill Zim merman easily won a 6-2, 6-3 vic tory over Lloyd Jorgenson of WSC. Mann Moves Up Karl Mann, moved up from his No. 5 position to No. 4, posted a straight sets win over Phil Olson, WSC, 6-4, 6-2. Jack Crawford, utility man on the Webfoot squad, beat the Cou gar’s No. 5 man, Bob Rasanen, 6-0, 7-5. In doubles, the Webfoot veteran combination of Larry Crane and' Bill Zimmerman scored an easy . 6-1, 6-3 victory over the Cougar No. 1 duo of Egan and Bor ton. Go Three Sets Les Werschkul and Ellsworth Ellis, Duck No. 2 doubles team, played the hardest fought match of the day against Jorgenson and •• Olson of WSC, winning, 6-0, 5-7, 6-3.
