The final score read: Washington State 10, Oregon 2. The Ducks complete their road trip tomorrow and Thursday against Washington in Seattle. The Cougar victory today gave two wins to Buck Bailey’s circus and two for Coach Hobby Hob son’s team in the series. Wash ington State batters slammed three Oregon h u r 1 e r s, Virg Haynes, A1 Linn, and Jack Jasp er, for a total of nine hits. Sewell Gets Win In the meantime, Bill Sewell, Cougar footballist, scattered 10 Northern Division Standing W L Pet. OSC ... 7 1 .875 Oregon . 6 6 .500 Washington . 3 4 .420 Idaho . 4 6 .400 WSC .. 3 6 .333 hits over the nine inning route to check the invaders. The Stat ers played errorless ball; giving good support. The victory failed to raise the Cougars from the cellar position in which they have rested. Washington State put three singles, two walks, and an error together in the first inning to score four runs. The second inn ing was a repetition of the first with four runs scored. This came on two singles, two errors, and a sacrifice. Dale Gentry slammed out a triple to bring in some of the runs. Ducks Get Two Oregon’s two runs came in the third inning on three singles and one walk issued by Sewell. Another Cougar run crossed the plate in the fourth inning on a walk to Doskey, a stolen base, an Oregon error, and a caught fly. Sewell provided another tally to further clinch his victory with a home run in the seventh. Bill Calvert, Dick Whitman, and Jack Shimshak maced two hits each to lead Oregon hitters. Dick Emerson and Bill Sewell hit twice each. One of Sewell's was the homer.

Trackmen Point For Northern Division Meet Hayward Picks 15 Entries for Seattle Event Despite its record of three losses in three conference meets, Oregon’s sturdy little band of trackmen cannot be counted out of the running when they par ticipate in the northern division championship carnival this Satur day at Seattle. Two Webfoot defending cham pions will place their crowns on the block. Boyd Brown, javelin hurler, and Ehle Reber, broad jumper, both undefeated in com petition thus far this year, are gunning for their second consecu tive championship and are fav ored to repeat. With a team strong in first place winners but feeble when it comes to second and third place geters, Oregon will not be at such a tremendous disadvantage in a meet with many entries, where first places are important, as they would be in a dual encounter where place and show honors can be so destructive to a team’s vic tory aspirations. Fifteen Man Squad Coach Bill Hayward yesterday named a 15-man team to make the Seattle trip. They are enterede in all the events and there is pro mise of Hayward juggling his runners and coming up with a fair mile relay team that will make it tough for the rest of the conference. To date the mile relay has been so weak that they have forfeited points in all but the Oregon State meet last Saturday. Rod Hansen is far above his field in the pole vault event, hav ing won in all three conference dual meets by substantial' mar gins. His understudy, Bob Hen dershott, can also be counted on for valuable points. Entry List The list of entries includes Jim Buck, 100, 220, and low hurdles; Bob Mitchell and Rea Kleinfeldt, both the mile and two mile ev ents; Captain Kirm Storli, 880 and 440; Ed Reiner, 440; Les Clever, 880; Ray Dickson, high hurdles and broad jump; Frank Emmons and Bill Regner in both the shot put and discus throws; Brown, javelin; Hansen and Hen dershott, pole vault; Reber, broad jump; Jim Harris and Harve Mc Kee, high jump. University of Kansas welcomed its first new Greek group since 1923 when Tau Kappa Epsilon founded a chapter there. Patty's a Threat Again Preparing a comeback after several months' inactivity forced by an appendectomy, Pat tyBerg, 1938 women’s golf champion, is chown here practicing at Coral Gables, Florida. Patty is a freshman at Minnesota university this year. Don Kirsch Tops Yearling Hitters By TOMMY WRIGHT Donald Kirsch, stocky second baseman for Oregon’s undefeated freshman baseball nine, continued pummeling the pellet in games of the last two weeks to boost his average to a blazing .465, and hang on to his batting leadership. Kirsch heads the Duckling hitters in practically every department, including hits with 20, 43 times at bat, and 37 total bases. He leads in two-base hits with five, triples with three and home runs with two. Through the first eight of the freshman successive victories, he hit safely in every game. He was stopped by a pair of rook pitch ers here Saturday. Tony Crish, strong armed outfielder, has amassed an average of .525, but has appeared in only four games and has but 21 official times at bat. Clifford Next Still following close on the heels of the high flying Kirsch is Charles “Zeke” Clifford, slugging first baseman, with a percentage of .429. Clifford leads the yearlings in stolen bases with four, and has batted in 18 runs. With John Bubalo, he is co-leader in runs scored, having crossed the plate 19 times. Hank Burns and Bill McKevitt are tops in sacrifices, having three apiece. This doesn’t include Batting averages: Player G Tony Crish, f . 4 Nick Begleries, p 4 Wally Lee, 2b, ss 2 L.

Alpha Teams Win In Donut Contests By LEE FLATBERG Gamma hall smashed through to its fifth win yesterday in "B" volleyball to take the league III title. Competition in the other games saw Alpha hall, Theta Chi, and Sig Ep aggregations post victories. The Gamma haliers were impressive as they swamped Sigma Nu, seemingly at will, by a score of 15 to 3, 15 to 2. The haliers loomed as a threat to the “B” championship as they worked smoothly to set up the ball, and make deadly kill shots. Alpha hall's team, led by the sparkling play of Gil Carr, downed the DUs in a ridiculously easy manner, 15 to 5, 15 to 2. The DUs, who were favorites for the league championship were no match for the smooth playing haliers. Although the Alpha hall team has dropped two games, and are out of the league playoff, they appear to be at the present the best “B” team in the volley ball leagues. First Win The Chi Psis fought desperate ly for their first win, but could n’t keep up with the fast moving * Theta Chi team. The Chi Psis took the first game, 15 to 10, and then dropped the second encoun ter, 15 to 9. The Theta Chin grabbed a 12 to 2 lead in the third game, only to see the Chi Psis bring their total to 10 counters before dropping out. The Sig Eps took a charity win as the Sherry Ross hall default ed. Today’s games (all “B”): 4:00 —Kirkwood Co-op vs. Sigma Chi, Sammies vs. Omega hall; 4:40—• Yeomen vs. Pi Kaps, ATOs vs. Zeta hall. NOTICE! Varsity and freshman track pictures for the Oregana will be taken on Hayward field to day at 3:30. See the track bulletin board.
