Oregon Blasts Washington, 18 to 9
Jasper Notches
First League Win
Carney Has Perfect Day at Bat With Five
Blows to Lead 21-Hit Slugging Show

It’s a good thing of everyone concerned that Tubby Graves,
coach of the University of Washington baseball team, is an
amiable, easy-going gentleman who can take reverses in stride.
For if he were not such a man, he might outdo even the robust
Buck Bailey and hie his ball team off to Hawaii or some such
place where life is easy and free from care.
He might be justified, too, after
such a nightmarish day as yester
day. Double-trouble followed trou
ble for poor Tubby and his team
in their invasion of the Willam
ette valley, and the big payoff
certainly was the 18 to 9 drub
bing Coach Hobby Hobson’s
wrecking crew gave the visitors.
Huskies Unbeaten
Tubby’s Huskies were perched
on top of the northern division
baseball standings with a record
of three wins against no defeats
when they headed into Eugene,
but the walloping Webfoots tum
bled them out of the unbeaten
class with as lusty a display of
hitting as has been seen at Howe
field in many a day. Paced by
Sluggers Bill Carney, Dick Whit
man, and John Berry, the Ducks
pounded out 21 base knocks to
make the victory easy. This total
plus the 19 hits collected in the
last Idaho contest adds up to 40
blows in two games for Coach
Hobby’s team — an average of
20 per.
The defeat wasn’t the only
harrassing event of a worry
packed day for Coach Graves and
his boys, however. In justice to
Tubby, it must be said that he
probably has taken just as severe
beatings on other occasions, but it
is doubtful that he has ever, in
his long coaching career, found
himself in as tough a spot as he
was in yesterday when he arrived
in Eugene with a ball clUb but no
suits or other baseball parapher
nalia.
Trunk Forgotten
It wasn’t Tubby’s fault, though,
for the Washington equipment
trunk had been packed and hauled
to the station. But fate and some
one’s mistake caused it to be left
at the train terminal in Seattle,
not shipped to Eugene.
What a situation! A ball club
and no spikes, no uniforms, no
bats, no balls, no nothing. Thanks
to Coach Hobson and Oregon and
Eugene athletic officials, the
situation was ironed out; all in
time for the 3 o’clock deadline,
too.
Walt Bonney, Oregon equip
ment man, dug out the white
frosh uniforms, shoes, stockings,
and even bats and balls, but un
fortunately, there w'ere not
enough yearling suits to go
around. The deficiency was made
up by the Eugene Athletics, local
semi-pro nine. The Athletics, who
had just received new white and
black outfits, gave the Huskies
the use of eight spanking-new
uniforms, and the day was saved.
All in all, Grave’s men looked
pretty spiffy in the regalia of the
Athletics, even though a huge
black Eugene stood out in relief
on the front of the shirts.

Oregon fans should have no more
good-natured jibes at Washing
ton’s epense. Fact is, the Huskies
won’t even have to use the gloves
of Oregon today.
But geting back to the game
itself, it was a slugfest from start
to finish. And the Oregon batting
eyes were sharp and effective,
proving again that sport fans and
critics can be wrong almost any
time. At the first of the year,
bleacherites tagged the Web
foots “light-hitters,” but they’re
being forced to take back those
words now.
Washington opened the scoring
with two runs in the first half

walked and Bob Larson and Dave
Dobson both singled. The Ducks
Baseball
Daze
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
If anyone tries to tell you that
Oregon’s ball club is a powder
puff hitting team and that they
can’t bat over .300—don’t you be
lieve it. Because, those Ducks in
three games have poled out a to
tal of 50 hits.
That’s counting 10 in the first
Idaho game, 19 in the second, and
21 in this Washington game. Dur
ing pre-season games the Ducks
looked plenty futile at bat.

Synonymous in their various
leagues: Oregon and the Brook
lyn Dodgers. Brooklyn is always
unpredictable while Oregon was
hardly figured to stand where it
does now after losing seven
starters.
Coach Hobby Hobson moved
Johnny Berry to third and put
Bill Calvert back in the lineup at
shortstop. Now, if Arba Agcr
were put at first, we’d have an
infield that hit well over .300.
Take Berry and Calvert who bat
above .500, Jim Shimshak and
Ager who bat above .300, and
Hobson could boast the heaviest
hitting infield in the conference.
SIGMA DELTA PSI
Standing in the Sigma Delta
Psi track meet held yesterday
at Hayward field:
Betas, 307; SPEs, 301; Phi
Delts, 274; SAEs, 254; Theta
Chi, 252; Zeta hall, 250; ATO,
249; Phi Sig Kap, 235; Phi
Kap Psi, 209; Sigma Chi, 208.
came right back in their half of
the inning with four runs of their
own on blows by Jack Shimshak,
Bill Carney, Buck Berry, and Bill
White, and a walk to Whitman.
Carney Stars
Batting star of the day was
Kiki Carney who cracked out five
singles in five trips to the plate.
Dick Whitman’s contribution was
three for four, one of them a hard
triple. The dynamic Berry, too,
did his share with three blows for
six times with the willow.
A1 Linn, big righthander, start
ed on the hill for Oregon and
gave up three runs and four hits
in the two innings he worked. He
was relieved at the start of the
third by eccentric Jack Jasper,
loose-jointed southpaw, who held
Washington in check the rest of
the way and gained credit for the
win. Jasper was touched for only
five hits but walked six men and
hit two others.
Yearling Trackmen
Downed, 71 to 51
Medford high school’s track squad thumped the Oregon frosh,
71 to 51 Friday night under the Pear-picker lights.
Each team set two new records for the powdered-brick oval, in
spite of occasional gusts of a cold north wind. Dick Finch of the
home crew skipped the 120-yard high hurdles in :15.9 seconds to
break his old mark while LeClair of the frosh put the shot 52 feet
and one inch to set a new mark for the event.
Records Fall
Two more records fell as the result of a see-saw duel between
Oregon s Bob McKinney and the
Tigers’ Johnson. Johnson won
the quarter in 50.1 seconds—un
der his own state record—with
Bob chasing him in 50.5. McKin
ney let Johnson set the pace for
the first lap, then went ahead
and finished four yards in front
to set a mark of 2:02.4 for the
half.
