Slender Pete Igoe was a big man on the mound for Oregon
yesterday afternoon on Howe field and the veteran righthander
set down Willamette university by a 4 to 2 score with only
three hits. The victory made it seven wins in nine pre-season
starts for -Hobby' Hobson’s varsity baseballers.
Throwing a-lively hook and a zippy fastball, Igoe had the
Bearcats pretty consistently under his thumb and didn’t even
allow a hit until the sixth inning.
He whiffed seven Willamette bat
ters during the full nine innings
and was-so steady in finding the
plate with hooks and speed that
only one man got a base on balls.
Seven Base Hits
Oregon’s batting was none too
heavy off the offerings of Har
old “Gabby” McAbee, the Ducks
getting only seven hits—six of
them singles. Three of Hobson’s
stickers got two hits apiece. The
rest of the Webfoots just couldn’t
touch the Bearcat righthander.
Oregon will face the offerings
of Willamette’s toughest pitcher,
Bob White, at the new George
Waters Western International
league ball park in Salem this af
ternoon at 3:30. Lefty Jack Jasp
er is the probable Webfoot pitch
er. Coach Hobson plans to send
A1 Linn against Linfield in a
morning game on the McMinnville
diamond.
Only three Bearcat batters
reached first base off Igoe in the
first five innings yesterday and
they went down one, two, three
from the second to the sixth.
Centerfielder Longergan got life
as a lead-off hitter in the first
inning on an error by Tini Smith

base.
Only One Walk
Pitcher Pete walked his only
man of the game, First Sacker
Murray, at the start of the second
inning and the Willamette infield
er went around the bases on an
error and an out-to-first play.
Oregon tied the score in the
last of the second inning on a
single by Catcher Cece Walden,
a walk by Lloyd Beggs, a single
by Jack Shimshak, and an out
field fly by Whitey Austin.
Big inning for the Webfoots
was the fourth when Hobby's
gang made use of three hits and
an error to trot over three runs.
The Ducks never scored after
that, in fact they were handcuffed
by McAbee from then on, but the
three tallies were enough to clinch
the game.
The Big Fourth
The big fourth inning for Ore
gon opened with Bill “Kiki” Car
ney, outfielder, reaching second
on shortstop's two-base error.

Daze
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
Warm days, vendors threading
their way through a fair-sized
crowd selling coney islands, ice
cream, and pop, two umpires, and
eighteen ball players furnishing
entertainment marked yesterday’s
baseball gapae between Oregon
and Willamette.
For a good delivery and one of
the best fast bails we’ve seen this
year, we nominate Pete Igoe. He
still has one more year of eligibil
ity and should improve on his
stuff.
One of those viewing the game
was Fritz Kramer, Eugene high’s
coach who had Herb Hamer, Pete
Igoe, and Burke Austin under his
wing. Under Kramer, Austin was
given second all-state basketball
team mention.
“Tommy Cox made a nice stop
at third base—had to or it might
have hurt him,’’ declared one fan.
“Pepper” Cox is filling in at the
hot corner while Arba Ager nurs
es an injured leg on the bench.
Cox is the most versatile man on
the team. He can play second,
short, third, or in the field. For
all of that, maybe he can pitch
and catch, too.
Benny Goodman may be the
“King of Swing,” but considering
Dick Whitman's terrific clip of
around .650—“Bird Dog” Whit
man is Oregon’s “King of Swat.”
The pitcher-batter duel predict
ed yesterday failed to material
ize. Whitman and Willamette’s
pitcher Bob White were team
mates of Silverton’s Red Sox who
won the state title. More will be
known about the civil war after
this afternoon in Salem for the
Oregons and Bearcats test each
other again. The Ducks play Lin
field in McMinnville this mornihg

Oval Again
Varsity Trackmen
Working Towards
Annual OSC Relays
Oregon's varsity track squad
returns to Hayward field and a
cinder track today to pick up
training for the Oregon State re
lays where they left off two days
ago while the varsity oval was
taken over by the Hayward re
lays.
Coach Bill Hayward has not
allowed his men to remain com
pletely idle, however, and light
workouts have been taken on the
field back of McArthur court.
Concentrates on Speed
Today Hayward will concen
trate on speed as he sends his men
through a tough drill. Yesterday
afternoon after the high school
relays, all varsity men threw off
their officials uniforms and
donned track suits for a light
brisk workout on the cinders.
Time trials for the Oregon
State relays next Saturday will ba
run off Wednesday afternoon,
Hayward stated yesterday. Th?
meet with the Beavers promises
to be a tough battle for the
Ducks, as the Staters are reported
to have one of their strongest
teams in years.

ROTC instructor, is coach of the
team.
The Lane county rifle club,
though a newly-organized group,
is already the largest organiza
tion of its kind in Oregon, with
members drawn from all over
Lane county.
The county team is coached by
Jerry Upshaw, internationally
famed rifleman, who has fired
on several national rifle teams.
Now on a disability retirement
from the Pasadena police force
of California, Upshaw has made
his home in Eugene.
