Washington State Tips Oregon, 11 to 3 Spotty Infielding Costly for Ducks Cougar Righthander Limits Webfoots to Five Hits; Rival Teams Able to Score Only One Earned Run Apiece By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald Buck Bailey’s Washington State Cougars made use of 11 solid base hits and some pretty bad infield work by Oregon to defeat the Webfoots yesterday afternoon on Howe field, 11 to 3. It was Oregon’s third conference loss in four games. Bill Ahearn, Cougar righthander, pitched a steady game, whiffing six Webfoots and allowing only five base hits, but his mates actually earned only one run of the 11 off Pitchers Pete Igoe and A1 Linn. And Oregon earned only ore of its three tallies. Massive Buck attracted the us ual flock of fans to "Baileyville,” first base bleachers, and he didn’t disappoint ’em although things went pretty well for his baseball team. High point of Clown Buck’s activity came in the sixth inning when Umpire Spec Burke called Ray Mahnkey out on a close play at third base as a result of a perfect throw from Dick Whit man in center to Third Sacker Tommy Cox. Buck’s Stampede Big Buck left his Washington State bench in a hurry and set out on the run toward Spec Burke who was standing near third base. With Bailey bearing down on him like a mad bull, the popular umpire stood his ground •—until the last minute. Finally he dodged the irate Cougar coach who stumbled and fell down out near third base rvith the Oregon fans hooting and howling. Even Umpire Burke had to laugh at Buck's thwarted charge. Hard-luck Pete Igoe started on the mound for Oregon and he pitched steady ball until the sixth inning when an error at shortstop put him in the hole. Coach Hobson had to yank the righthander ia favor of A1 Linn. Going into the seventh inning the score was only 4 to 0 against Oregon and all four tallies had been donated to Washington State in the sec ond frame. Calvert Injured Billy Calvert at shortstop took a. perfect double play ball with one man out and a runner on first and tossed it over Jack Shimshak’s head at second base and into right field. A walk, an error by Buck Berry in right, and a single through shortstop to left field netted the Cougars their four runs. The single was a very scratchy one, too, as Calvert pulled a muscle in his leg in chasing it and had to be carried off the field. Came the seventh inning and three more Washington State runs crossed the plate. Bailey’s Treat Her to Sunday Dinner near the Millraee. Sprin is the time to do somethin really “different.” She’ll like it and appreciate it. Dinner served from 12 to 8 on Sundays. tc tc The Anchorage wsc Daggett, m ... Perry, ]f. Dosskey, 1 . Butts, s .

Berry Bobbles Buck Berry, who replaced Cal vert at shortstop, had no better luck than his predecessor and committed another bobble which allowed the Cougars to trot over two more runs. Washington State added four on the hits and an error in the eighth. As for Oregon's run making, it wasn’t until the seventh inning that the Webfoots were able to even score off Pitcher Ahearn. The ione earned run off Ahearn came in that inning when Bill "Whizzer” White smacked a dou ble to left field, moved to third on Buck Berry's single to left, and scored on an out third to first. The Ducks got their final two runs with two out in the ninth. Arba Ager got life on a force play and advanced when Third Baseman Ray Mahnkey booted Jack Shimshak's ground ball. Dick Whitman came to bat then —having hit only one in four up to then—and rapped a long triple to Sewell’s glove in right field driving Ager and Shimshak across the plate. Footballers Jim Harris, Dick Horne, Frank Boyd, Den Surles, and Buck Berry are learning the fundamentals of golf from Russ Catler. * ** ■****»»•*»£ Duck Netmen Open Against WSC Today By LEX BAIXIF Today will mark the? official opening of the northern division tennis season as Oregon's varsity squares off against Washington State on the T. niversity courts at three this afternoon.
