    Ducks Face Idaho Nine in Moscow
Oregon Begins
Tough Road Trip
Webfoots Boast Two Wins Over
Vandal Baseball Team; Hobson
Has Four Winning Pitchers
The next seven days is going to be the toughest yet for Oregon’s
newly risen ball club and especially for its weak pitching staff. For,
starting today, the Ducks meet Idaho, Washington State, and Wash
ington in fast succession in different cities.
Coach Hobby Hobson, following his code, will play each game as
it comes rather than thinking of the others. He did this in basketball
and will do the same in the diamond sport. The first test of the now

Ends Duck Season
The golfing Ducks are putting
the finishing touches on their
game in preparation for their
match with Oregon State at Cor
vallis Saturday.
The Oregon golf team lost only
one match this season. They de
feated Idaho in Moscow, Oregon
State here, and the University of
British Columbia. In the match
with Washington State, the Ducks
were in the lead until the match
was called because of rain. The
defeat came against the Univer
sity of Washington in Seattle.
Title Play May 25
This match will be the last con
ference appearance of the Ducks
until they play in the Northwest
championship playoffs in Corval
lis May 25.
A four-man team from each
school is entered.
In the match Saturday at Cor
vallis, Oregon will be minus their
medalist champ, Benny Hughes.
He will be missed as he has tak
en medalist honors in most of the
matches this year and has also
gotten his share of the points.
Doc Near will be in the top
position with Rich Werschkul
playing No. 2 man and Chuck
Phipps in the third position. Don
Cawley, Bob Engelke and Chet
Keller will hold down the last
three positions.

secona-piace uregons win oe
against Forrest Twogood’s Vandal
nine this afternoon in Moscow,
Idaho. They play tomorrow, too.
On a road trip into the Willam
ette valley last week, Idaho lost
two slug fests to Oregon, 10 to 6,
and 16 to 8. But, Idaho has some
pretty fair hitting in its batting
lineup and back on its home field
shoul<? be tough to knock over
again.
Two Vandal Wins
Two of Idaho’s pitchers, Dick
Snyder and veteran Merle Stod
dard, have been credited with
northern division wins. Snyder is
the fast ball pitcher whose arm
apparently has no joints — it
seems loose to the point of rub
beriness. It was he who led his
mates to a win over Oregon
State. Stocky Stoddard has been
credited with one over Washing
ton State.
But, Oregon has four pitchers
in its camp who have been cred
ited with victories, Virg Haynes
has won two. What’s more, Hobby
has six of his boys who have bat
ting averages ranging from .600
down to .300. Arba Ager, reserve
infielder, tops them all. The oth
er five are regular players.
Monday and Tuesday, Wash
ington State is the opponent with
a one day’s full rest between the
Vandals and the Cougars. But
Tuesday, Hobson takes his fifteen
players and his student manager
to Seattle and a Washington
game Wednesday.
Split Likely
Sideline experts give Oregon
three of the six road games. But,
if the Webfoots should hit the
ball consistently, they may come
out of it with more victories.
The probable starting pitcher
will be Haynes for Oregbn. He
has worked very little during the
past week. Twogie will probably
use Snyder as his choice. Umpire
Spec Burke claims that Snyder
was really pitching against Ore
gon State the other day. His
curve was breaking just right.
Should Snyder toss against Ore
gon and should he be on, then the
Ducks will be in for a tough day
at bat.
Those making the trip are:
Hobson, Pete Mitchell, student
manager, Haynes, A1 Linn, Jack
Jasper, Pete Igoe, Bob Reider,
pitchers, Herb Hamer, Jack
Shimshak, Bill Calvert, Johnny
Berry, Ager, Tommy Cox, in
fielders, Bill Carney, Dick Whit
man, and Bill White, outfielders.

the Canard club, 15 to 6, 15 to 2.
Phi Sigs Win
The accuracy of Frank Hitch

OSC-Oregon Meet
Looms As Toss-up
By BOB FLAVELLE
As the all-important Oregon-Oregon State track meet this Satur
day at Corvallis approaches, a note of uncertainty prevails in the
rival campus with both coaches shaking their heads sadly when asked
their chances of victory.
Oregon hopes received a blow when Bob Deiz was declared defi
nitely out of the Beaver clash. He has been on the sidelines for several

In Seattle
Len Clark will lead five Oregon
netmen against Washington uni
versity Saturday afternoon at
Seattle, it was decided yesterday
when Len took a 6-0, 6-1 chal
lenge match from Larry Key to
definitely take over the No. 1
job on Coach Russ Cutler’s tennis
team.
Clark sprung back into the top
position Wednesday when he wal
loped Les Werschkul 6-1, 6-2, and
had more than enough steam to
stay there, as Key’s net play was
surpassed by Clark’s hard drives
and overhand smashes. Len’s
serves were even stronger than
usual as he played unbeatable
tennis for the second straight
day.
Bob Potwin is once more No. 5
man, defeating Dick Williams in a
return match yesterday. Wersch
kul will play No. 2, Key No. 3,
and Bob Horning will hold down
the fourth position. Clark and
Key will form the first doubles
tandem and Werschkul and Pot

weeks with a pulled muscle. It has
not responded to Hayward’s satis
faction and the veteran coach,
refuses to take a chance on per
manent injury.
With Oregon State also weak
in the sprints as a result of le£
injuries to Rogers and Cross, it
now appears that the team with
the most capable reserve sprint
ers will also win the meet.
Mile Feature Run
A battle royal looms in tbs
popular mile feature that will sss
Oregon’s Bob Mitchell and Rea
Kleinfeldt both out to beat Don
Vaillancourt, ace distance man of
the Orange. All three runners will
put on a second show for the faun
when they meet in the two-mile.
With the majority of first
places pretty well conceded to be
in Oregon’s favor, it is evident
that second and third place points
will be an important factor in de
ciding the meet. In the reserve
strength department, the Beav
ers seem to have a decided edge,
as indicated by the recent Ore
gon-Oregon State relays in which
the Beaver quartets completely
outclassed the Ducks to win an
easy 5 to 2 victory.
Hayward has declared today a
day of rest for the Ducks and
will hold a short meeting this
afternoon with his charges, to dis
cuss Saturday’s problems and
strategy.
