Duck Nine Plays Willamette Today Bearcats Offer Stiff Competition Sophomore-Studded Oregon Lineup Has Six Wins to Its Credit; Duel Looms Between Ex-Teammates By KEN CHRISTIANSON Oregon's baseball house, that was built like Topsy grew this sea son, will receive its first really stiff test this afternoon at the hands of Willamette. W illumette is the team which always comes up with a near first place finish in its own league and is tough yi pre-season play. Coach Hobby Hobson will know after today’s game on Howe field and to morrow’s at Salem whether the team he has assembled through Frosh Book Three Games In Portland Warren's Club Meets Jefferson, Grant, Lincoln Wracked by injuries, sore arms, ineligibilties and whatnot, John Warren’s freshman baseball team moves into Portland this morning for a trio of games in two days with Grant, Jefferson, and Lin coln high schools. The frosh meet Jefferson this afternoon. Tomorrow morning they face Lincoln and then go against Grant in an afternoon encounter. Ineligibility cut a wide swath in Warren’s hopes, with Waily Lee, flashy Nipponese infielder, Neal Nichols, trigger-arm short stop, and Maurie Burgess all on the low side of the grgdeline. AI Sorensen, first string catch er. is still out. Al broke the mid dle finger on his right hand in the season’s opener against Grant last Friday. Stew Starts John Tuttle, with a very sore arm, will have to plug up the shortstop gap. • Starting on the mound in to day's game will be Stew Fred ricks, temperamental fireball (Please turn to page seven) Orides, Co-op Girls Win Softball Tilts Some kind of a record was set on Gerlinger field yesterday as the Orides waxed the Sigma Kappas, 50 to 5, in a “Killer-Dil ler” softball game. Smith, Urquiri, and M. Ander son led the independent team in the slugging department as the Orides dominated the five inning game. Orides (50) (5) Sigma Kappas Smith .C. Sarlat Urquiri .P.

Anderson....SS C’o-op 10, Thetas 9 A close score of 10 to 9 gave the University Co-op their first victory over the Thetas yester day in a coed intramural softball game. The Co-ops made ten runs out sophomores and transfer infiltra tion is worthy of first division finish or not. Game time is 3:00. Willamette, in games thus far, has split two game series with Oregon State, the club some critics pick to win the northern division pennant. After this af ternoon Hobby will know better whether his baseball aggregation is suffering from “growing pains” or whether it is nearly ready for the season’s opener with the Beavers next Friday. Six and Two The Webfoots in their pre season record have won six and lost two tilts. One of their losses has been at the hands of Pacific and the other was dealt by Port land university’s nine. A batting-pitching duel looms today. It seems that this Bob White who pitches for the Wil lamette Bearcats played semi pro ball for Silverton in the state league with Oregon’s Dick Whit man. White claims he will allow Wrhitman no more than a foul, while Dick declares he will batter his ex-teammate off the mound. Igoe May Pitch Hobson will probably start Pete Igoe or Virg Haynes opposing Willamette’s probable choice of White. Cece Walden or Maury Kelly will probably play behind the plate. The regular outfield of Whitey Austin, Whitman, and Bill Car ney will tour the pasture. The infield is not so definite with first base disputed by Herb Hamer and Lloyd Beggs. Jack Shimshak or Bill Calvert will hold down sec ond base. Tini Smith, who is hit ting, will probably play short stop. With Arba Ager sitting on the bench with an injured leg. Tommy Cox, sometimes called “Pepper,” will take care of third base. of 15 hits while the Thetas scored nine runs from 12 hits. The only home run hit during- this game was made by Theta’s Nancy Lat ourette. Co-op (10) (9) Thetas Lee .C Sanders Tomlinson .P. Kerr Smedley .IB. Latourette Alderson .3B. Swearingen Adams .LF.

Betas, Phi Sigs, Zetas, Chi Psis, Gain Net Wins ATOs, Theta Chis, SAEs, Alpha Cop Wednesday Tilts By LEE FLATBEKG The second round of "A” vol leyball continued yesterday with the Chi Psis, Zeta hall, Betas, and Phi Sigs posting straight game wins. The Betas had little difficulty in downing the Gamma hall boys, 15 to 1, 15 to 5. The Betas gar nered their second win easily as they took early leads and played smooth ball. After coming from behind on a 6 to 11 score, the Chi Psi team defeated' the Sigma hall aggre gation, 15 to 11, 15 to 2. Flu Psis Lose In the most interesting game of the afternoon the Phi Sigs downed a 'determined Phi Psi team, 15 to 12, 15 to 4. The score in the first game see-sawed back and forth with the Phi Sigs fi nally winning out. The second game was much closer than the 15 to 4 score would indicate. The Phi Psis put up a good fight but finally gave way under the dead ly kill shots of Frank Hitchcock. The Zeta hall made their sec ond appearance in the win column with a. straight game win over the Fijis, 15 to 5, 15 to 8. The Fi jis gave little opposition to the Zeta hall boys, as they seemed to score at will. Wednesday’s Winners In Wednesday’s “A” league play, the ATOs, the SAEs, the Theta Chis, and Alpha hall were triumphant. The Yeomen lost to Alpha Tau Omega in two games, 15 to 0 and 15 to 3. Sigma Alpha Epsilon trimmed the Super-Chargers, 15 to 13 and 15 to 3. Theta Chi beat the Sigma Nus, 15-6, 3-15, 16-14, and Alpha hall trimmed the Dells, 15-10, 10-15, 11-8. 2 vau/flne ENLARGEMENT}/)' <^8 PRIN15 LJ all developed and printed from your 8 exposure roll.
