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.

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

Softball Contests
Set for Thursday
Moved to Today
Because of the intramural track
meet to be held Thursday, May 5,
all intramural softball* games
scheduled for that day will be
moved up to Tuesday, May 3, (to
day) it was announced by intra
mural officials.
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.

Arrangements have been made
with Coach Tex Oliver and Equip
ment Room Tycoon Walt Bonney
to secure shoulder and hip pads

dummy scrimmage will be held in
order that timing of plays may be
perfected.
Latest recruits to the All-Star

Duck Net men Blast
Cougars; Score, 70
By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC
Oregon’s fast-improving varsity tennis team lengthened its victory
list to five consecutive wins last Saturday afternoon, when it swept
the invading Washington State team off the courts with a 7 to 0
whitewashing.
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

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

singles competition, Captain Larry
Crane breezed through John Egan,
Cougar ace, 6-3, 6-1.
