Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor ■ The University of Oregon baseball team will play the type of ball that fans love to see if Acting-Coach Ansa Cornell’s latest strategy is used throughout the coming season. With an array of sluggers on his team that would cause any collegiate baseball pitcher in the country to tremble, Anse is planning to use a system of play that will have his men taking a toe hold at the plate and slugging the ball in the hopes of piling up the runs in several big innings rather than squeezing for single runs. Anse says that he will send the team out for a lot of runs for fi. ' first six innings and if that strategy fails, will then Mettle down to playing conservative ball to squeeze out singly tallies. As he puts it: “It will be a combination of the type of ball played by the slugging New York Yankees and the cagey N.cw York Giants.” Cornell Has Faith in Pitchers As for the pitching, Cornell is quite optimistic and believes that in little Nick Begleries, he has a twirler that will be able to quell the bats of other teams in the northern division:. Beg Icries is not a smokeball pitcher, although he does have quite n bit of speed for a little man, but relies mainly on a slow tantalizing burve ball that is very difficult for batters to hit solidly. Begleries is the only pitcher that is in good enough shape to go nine innings at a 3tretch, and is therefore Cornell's choice to start the game this afternoon against Pacific university at Forest Grove. But Cornell intends to give every moundsman a chance to work in these preseason games. He say3 that if he doesn’t have a nine-inning per former he will use as many pitchers as is necessary for short stretches in a game and then use them all over again the next day, Jbanky Bob Rieder is due to start the game at Portland against the Pilots on Saturday. Rieder seems to have every thing but confidence in himself. He has all that is necessary to make a fine twirler—control, curves, and speed, but is too easily convinced that he isn’t good enough to set the opponents down. As soon as he acquires self-confidence, Reider should be the Webfoot’s top chtteker. Bums Faces Discouraging Task Hard-hitting Hank Burns occupies a discouraging position on the Oregon roster. Good enough to make any team in the northern division, Hank faces the tough luck of having to beat out a trio of the' greatest fielders that have ever been collected on a single Duck team . . . Johnny Bubalo, Captain Dick Whit man, and Bill Carney. We asked Anse what he was going to do with Burns, and he said, “Use him in the game Saturday.” . , . When asked whose position Hank would take over, Cornell looked sort of sheepishly toward a distant point in llowe field where his three ace fly-chasers were lazily tossing the ball around and confessed that he didn’t know how to make room for Burns. The only way to cuke room for Emms, barring- the in jury of one of the regular outfielders, would be to move Uubalo in to thirl base, shove Johnny Berry into the catcher’s toggery and take Billy Calvert out of the lineup •—that was one of Cornell's brainstorms. “The trouble with that idea is the fact that Calvert is almost as good a hitter as Berry and is probably a smarter receiver than Berry would make,” sighed the harassed coach. “Guess I’ll leave the lineup as it is until Hobby gets back and let him do what he wants with it.” As you probably have guessed, t 'ornell is not bothered by a shortage of material. If there wore two or three outstanding |*itehers like* Bob llardy or Bob Creighton, who tossed for Ore gon a eouph* of years back, the Webfoot nine would be one of the gr\i‘e>t college team-, ever assembled.
