Oregon Nine Topples College of Education On Howe Field 10-4 Webfoots Complete Pre-Season Slate With Nine Wins and Three Defeats; A1 Linn, Bob Rieder Pitch Well By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor, Oregon Emerald Oregon’s light-hitting varsity baseballers wound up their pre-season campaign on Howe field yesterday afternoon by trimming a ragged crew from the Oregon College of Educa tion, 10 to 4. The Ducks posted win No. 9 in 12 conference starts. The Webfoots were able to post a fairly substantial total of runs but didn’t do it through any terrific slugging. In fact not one Oregon hitter posted an extra base hit—the winners did their run making off to Mon mouth pitchers on nine singles and seven errors. Encouraging to Oregon fans was the mound work of A1 Linn and Bob Rieder, a pair of the team's righthanders who are apt to be doing a lot of work during the northern division season. A1 and Bob split the first six innings on the hill and allowed narry a hit or a run. Four Run Ninth The Wolves got their four runs in the first of the ninth inning when Relief Pitcher Haynes of the Webfoots eased up and al lowed four singles and four runs. The big Monmouth inning was aided by a couple of boots. Curly A1 Linn opened on the mound for Oregon and he hooked up with Righthander Walt Jaross of the visitors in a real mid-sea son mound duel. A1 left the game after three innings with two strikeouts to his credit and a 1 to 0 lead—not a Wolf had reached first base. Lanky Bob Rieder then took the hill for Coach Hobby Hobson and for two more innings he set the visitors down in order. Two of A1 Cox’s boys got on base in the sixth but both times it was on Oregon errors, and Rieder finished his three innings with no hits and no runs. He whiffed five batters. Score in Third Oregon got its first run in the third inning when Lead-off Tom my Gox got life on an error, was forced to second on a walk, and scored on Catcher Cece Walden's base hit to left field. Hun No. 2 for the Ducks came in the fifth inning when Jack Shimshak scored on First Baseman Riney’s error. Big inning for the Webfoots was the sixth when four runs crossed the plate. Strangely, the winners got only one single in that inning, two errors helping the cause. It all started with one man out when Pitcher Jaross walked Whitey Austin. He struck out Bud Walker, catcher, but also passed Arba Ager who was in it third base for Cox. The bases were filled when Jack Shimshak reached first on an error at third. Slugger Dick Whitman, who got two hits in three times up during the day, then came to bat and rapped a low single into centerfield. The Monmouth out fielder left it trickle through his legs and what’s more didn't hurry very much in chasing it. The re sult was a three-base error and four Oregon runs. Whitman went all the way around on his single to clean the bases. Score in Pairs Oregon finished its scoring for the day with two runs on two hits and two errors in the seventh and two runs on a brace of hits and one boot in the eighth. Oregon' College of Education’s half of the ninth inning was a bad one for Pitcher Haynes and his Webfoot mates—Oregon los ing its shutout. It opened with Jake Miller, rightfielder, singling to center. Riney then rapped the ball to shortstop where Earl Carrilho, re serve infielder had a perfect force play set up. He tossed the ball past second base and Miller scored, Riney stopping at second. Szedlak and O’Connel then rapped out base hits to left and right fields, respectively, giving the visitors two more runs. A bad throw to second by Bill Calvert gave OCE’s players their final Ore.

The two prep outfits are entering relay teams composed of the best runners from each school. Neither prep squad collected much in the recent Hayward relays, but the Axemen from Eugene high took four of the nine events in trials held with the frosh last Wednes day. Relays on tap include the 3 mile, 440, mile, 880, and distance medley. No field teams will be entered. Coach Ned Johns has tentative ly selected Mallory, Rucker, Bob Rudolph, and Lloyd LeClair to carry the stick in the 880 relay, with each man going 220 yards. Probable entrants in the 440, in which each runner travels 110 yards, are Ross Gearhart, Russ Soper, Dick Ralston, and Lloyd LeClair. Tabbed for spots on the mile team are quarter-milers Mallory, Rucker, Bob McKinney, and Gearhart. Johns stressed that no lineups are final as yet and kept his dis tance choices in the dark. Most likely to compete in the half are Bob McKinney, Stan Watt, and Ken Maher. Few of the milers are in shape; the trio of Wilmer Lyon, Tony Nichachos, and Ber nard Engle is in the best condi tion at present. Injury Jinx Hits Frosh Baseballers John Warren took time out from his coaching duties yester day to look over his battered frosh baseball team. What he saw surely wasn’t pleasing to the eye of any coach, for six of his small starting squad were out of action with injuries, low grades or sick ness. Glenn McKibben, husky catch er, joined the injured list, when a foul tip broke the little finger of his right hand in Monday’s game with Eugene high. A1 Sorenson, first string receiv er, fast on the mend from a brok en finger, was sent to the infirm ary with a stomach disorder.
