Ducks Subdue Vandals Again, 16-8 Four Home Runs Feature Slugfest Virg Haynes Pitches 6-Hit Ball to Earn Second Conference Victory; Berry Leads Batters With Five Hits By GEORGE PASERO Co-Sports Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald Oregon’s usually mild-mannered batters were anything but mild at Howe field yesterday as they shelled the offerings of Merle Stod dard, veteran Vandal twirler, to virtually every corner of the diamond and posted a 16 to 8 win over Idaho—their second straight. Buck Berry, husky shortstop, Catcher Cece Walden, and Outfielder Bill (Kiki) Carney all powered home runs to pace the Webfoots in their furious, 19-hit blitzkrieg attack which started in the first inning and didn t let up until black haired Virgil Haynes, Oregon's winning pitcher, retired the last Vandal batter. Haynes, Sacramento j a y s e e transfer from Medford, went the route for Oregon to gain his sec ond triumph of the current nor thern division season. He allowed only six hits and struck out nine. What’s more, only three of Ida ho’s eight runs were earned. Berry Hits Five Individual batting honors for the day easily went to Berry, Coach Howard Hobson’s recruit from the football ranks. The chunky shortstop had a tough time of it in the field, committing four errors of Oregon’s eight, but more than made up for this at the plate with five hits in five times up. Besides his home run, he smacked a double and three line singles and batted in six runs.

Dick Whitman collected two dou bles and a single in five times with the willow; Bill Carney hit a home run and two singles; and Tommy Cox poled a long triple. Jack Shimshak, Herbie Hamer, and Whiz White all lined out two safe blows. Idaho Scores Coach Forrest Twogood’s Van dals started the scoring in the opening half of the first inning when Haynes walked Left-fielder Ray Roundy and Catcher Whitey Price followed with a long home run to left field—the ball disap pearing over the left field “preci pice.” The third Idaho run of the first frame came as a direct result of successive errors by Berry and Jack Shimshak, second baseman, and Ramey's grounder to Pitcher Haynes. Not a bit disheartened by the Vandal splurge, the Ducks came l ight back with four runs of their own in the second half of the initial inning. Tommy Cox drew life on a base on balls to start the parade. “Pepper” moved to sec ond on Shimshak’s single and then scored on Berry’s smash to cente rfield. Walden Hits Homer This set the stage for Cece Walden’s home run to left field. Shimshak was poised on third and Berry on first, eager to set their spikes in motion, when Walden stepped up, swinging his big bat. Both merely trotted home, how ever, for Walden nearly batted the ball out of sight.

Small Squad Goes to WSC Coach Bill Hayward plans to depend on a 14-man track team when his squad meets the strong Washington State cinder-churn ers at Pullman next Saturday af ternoon. Definite selection of the trav eling squad' will be made this af ternoon at the close of their fi nal workout on Hayward field. The team will leave the campus sometime tomorrow. Oregon’s sole chance of winning the meet will depend upon the number of first places they are able to garner, being obviously weak in manpower and potential second and third place winners. Best chances of victory lie in the field events. Boyd Brown, in the javelin throw, Rod Hansen in the pole vault, and Ehle Reber in the broadjump, will be heavy pre meet favorites. Kirm Storli will renew his feud with Bill Dale, Cougar’s great half-miler, and will enter a slight underdog in the betting as a re sult of two defeats administered to the Duck captain by Dale in the Pacific coast and northern division championships last sea son. Off to Good Start Frankie Hawkins, playing his second year as third baseman for the Portland Beavers, seems to have reformed from his “bad boy” antics of former years. Seven Webfoots Bat Over .300 Average By JEAN SPEAROW Buck Berry, chunky gridiron, sparkplug, steps out of the football ranks and into a baseball-colored spotlight to lead the Oregon list of batters with a .600 batting average. Close on the heels of the stocky Californian is Billy Calvert who hands the little ball a beating to the tune of .538. In the game against Idaho yesterday Berry proved that turning out for baseball in the last week of practice was no handicap, and he demonstrated his point by slamming out five hits in five times at bat, one home run, one double, and three singles. Last .Thursday's game with Washington State turned out to be anything but the circus that was advertised, at least for Billy Calver, who pulled a leg muscle and has been out of the competition since then. Carney Hits Homer Jack Shimshak holds undisputed third place with .348, leaving Bill Carney and Arba Ager to battle it out for fourth and fifth with .333 each. Carney wears the halo for the time being for his home run in yesterday’s game while Ager looked on from the sidelines with an injured knee. Dick “Bird Dog” Whitman and Bill “Whizzer” White, another rival twosome, hold batting averages of .308, and complete the list of Oregon boys who are hitting over .300. Whitman mildly distinguished himself with two doubles and a single for five times at bat, while White was content with two singles to show for his five trips to the plate.

Beating Alpha, 7-5 By LEN BALLIF Those intramural softball games are getting closer and closer, as ATO defeated Sigma Nil, 5 to 3, DU eked out a win over Alpha Hall, 7 to 5, and the Fighting Finns took an overtime decision from the Sluggers, 3 to 2, yesterday. Sigma Nu boosted their lead to 3-0 in the fifth frame when Avery Qoniger’s single scored John Raffetto, but the ATO gang then went to work and scored five runs in the last two innings to tuck the game away. Sigma Nu’s pitcher, Dan Eng land, got a little too wild in the sixth frame, as the alert ATO gang scored three runs on one hit, that a single by Jack Boone. I^oone stole second, third and home to start the ball rolling, Len Isberg, and Doug Hay walked, then Eldon Wyman hit one, and two ATO runs crossed the plate. Borcher Wins Again It was Big Bill Borcher against little Ollie Stendal in the DU-Alpha conflict, and Borcher worried a lot before he came home with a 7 to 5 victory. The first DU man to face Pitcher Stendal obligingly cracked a home run, but the hall men came back fighting and the score was tied up 4-all at the end of the third inning. However, the DUs obtained the pecessary tal lies. Borcher struck out 13, not comparable to his no-hit per formance last .week, but good (Please turn to page seven) Men's PE Majors To See UO Movies Fizzeds, men’s PE club, will feature moving pictures of the Long Island-Oregon basketball game and the Fordham-Oregon football game at their meeting this evening at 7:30 in room 101 of the PE building.
