Webfoots Bow to Orange Again, 10-7 Beavers Batter Oregon’s Jasper Schwab, Leovich, Shimshak Hit Home Runs; Clayton Shaw Holds Ducks Down; Staters Feature Two Double Plays Oregon State increased its lead to two games in the northern division baseball play Saturday by walloping Oregon for the second time in as many days, 10 to 7, at Corvallis. Friday on Howe field the Beavers opened the season with a 10 to 3 win over the Webfoots. Right-hander Clayton Shaw, recently returned from Honolulu with the Oregon State basketball team, scattered nine hits during the full nine innings to hold the Ducks i;t check. Meanwhile the Beavers bunched eight hits in three big innings off Left-Hander Jack Jasper. Reider Relieves Bob Reider replaced Jasper, pitching two and one-third inn ings. Most of the story of Ore gon State’s run superiority may be told in five extra-base hits poled out by the Beavers. Arland Schwab and Johnny Leovich, the catcher who was continually in Oregon pitchers’ hair Friday, slammed out a home run apiece. Nearly every inning Shaw put himself in a hole and gladly used the support of two double plays and timely outs to get himself out of hot water. Shimshak Homes Jack Shimshak, second base man, who had much trouble at the plate laced a home run over the center fielder’s head which sent the Oregons into a short run-spree. The Webfoots fol lowed with a three-run rally in the seventh frame to send the in vaders ahead of the Beavers, 7 to 6. In the next inning Oregon State began to win the runs back with singles and Leovich’s home run. It was then that Reider replaced Jasper and retired the Staters in one-two-three order. Leovich and Schwab took bat ting honors for Oregon State with three and two hits in four at tempts, respectively. Shimshak and Bill Carney were the big guns of the Oregon offensive with three for five and two for four, respectively. Frosh Beat Varsity Last night the varsity played a practice game with the frosh. Bob Rehberg went the seven inning route for the frosh and aided in the yearling 2 to 1 win over the big brothers. Virg Hayne and Pete Igoe worked on the mound for the varsity. Don Kirsch, frosh second baseman hit a home run.

Baseball Daze L J By BILL PHELPS Aftermath of Oregon’s 10 to 7 beating at Corn Valley Saturday: Opening day pitchers didn’t have a good time at all. At Eu gene, Spec Burke slammed Mayor Large’s opening pitch for a hefty single, and at Corvallis, Mayor Hand walloped Secretary of State Earl Snell out of the box the same way. . . . The crowd really wasn’t any larger than Oregon’s — the stands overflowed by they weren’t very big stands. . . Easiest place in the league to get a homer is over that four-foot picket fence . . . and Bell field is the hardest place to bunt, too. It’s got a terrific slope each way from the pitcher’s box. Nomination for the best loved man to visit OSC. . . . Hobby Hob son . . . and when Hobby went out to argue with Spec about a decis ion at the plate, how they loved it. Beavers walked off with all the prizes, which is only fair, since Ducks did here. They gave the prize for the most spectacular play to Leovich for his homer . . . but it really was a back handed running catch by Dick Whitman, which was highway robbery. OSC fans behind the Oregon bench pelted the lads with pea nuts . . . isn't monkeys the craz iest people? And “Choo-choo” Tsoutsouvas gave a prize to the best dressed Beaverette—making sure he gave it in person — she was wearing a dress like every body else. Bob Rieder looks like Hobby’s best pitcher. More highway robbery was a terrific swat by Cece Walden which headed over the left field fence, then was blown back in to be caught by Bonney . . . and the reason Bill Carney got two hits was on account of he was mad about a one-day pin affair... The parade was beautiful, only OSC’s pep band is worse than ours, which is pretty bad . . . the parade was all cars and two teams in them. . . . The loud speaker system plays records be fore the game—why doesn’t ours ? BULLETIN! Lloyd Beggs, Oregon first baseman, broke a bone in his ankle last night following a practice session. He was at tempting slides and suffered the injury. He was taken to the Sacred Heart hospital for treatment. Rooks Smother Frosh in Relay Races Saturday Jesse Truax Leads OSC in 440,880; Lockhart Star The rooks from Beaverland stretched their legs Saturday and left Oregon’s frosh trackmen in the dust, winning all five events * in the annual relay meet. Jesse Truax and Kennon Lock hart used their birdlegs to anchor successfully twice. Truax broke the tape in the 440 and 880 re lays while Lockhart strode home in the three-mile and came back to finish first on the medley. For the frosh, Bob Rudolph came nearest to being a double winner—he pulled his team even in the 440 and ran the first quar ter-mile of his life to make up a dozen yards in the mile relay. No record times were made. Summary: Medley—Won by Rooks (Ham mer, Oxenrider, Gelbrich, Lock hart); time, 8:49.5. 440-yard — Won by Rooks (Findley, Olsen, Oxenrider, Tru ax). lime, :45.5. 880-yard — Won by Rooks (Findlay, Olsen, Oxenrider, Tru ax). Time, 1:36. Mile—Won by Rooks (Water man, Lisbeth, Duba, Daggett). Time, 3:40.8. Three-mile — Won by Rooks (Gelbrich, Waterman, Saunders, Lockhart). Time, 14:18. Duck Golf Teams Swamp Oregon State The Oregon varsity and frosh golfers declared Saturday a field day and won two decisive vic tories from their Oregon State rivals. The Duck varsity won from Oregon State, 21 to 6 and the frosh from the rooks, 20 y2 to 6^2. In the varsity’s match the Ore gon team dropped only two points in the afternoon singles.
