Duck Nine Hits Road for Badger Tilt
Webfoots Bludgeon
Frosh Team, 14 to 3
By TOMMY WRIGHT
The bad weather man took a turn for the better yesterday, so
acting coach Anse Cornell will pack his varsity baseball team in
autos and cart them off to Forest Grove for a doubleheader with
Pacific university today.
Showing plenty of the slugging powers they expect to turn loose
against the Badgers, the Ducks’ “murderers’ row” pounded a pai- of
Gridders
Wallow
The first spring preview of
the 1941 model of Oregon grid
power was staged on the slip
pery turf of the upper field
behind McArthur court last
Saturday afternoon before a
huddled group of rain-drenched
spectators gleaned from the
afternoon’s track meet.
The first two varsity teams
clad in green and blue jerseys,
respectively, steam-rollered back
and forth through the mire over
a powerless but game third team,
almost camouflaged beneath a
coating of mud on white jerseys.
Good Show
Blessed with a wealth of ma
terial, Vaughn Corley’s exhibition
of line power Saturday, and
Coach Oliver’s combination of
backfield speed-burners welded
into a quick-striking Oliver-twist
machine gave evidence that much
is to be expected from the Duck
eleven in the fall campaign.
Though still ragged after
only seven days of practice, and
with no position as yet certain
because of the sharp competi
tion, three potential weakness
es made themselves apparent
in the first scrimmage. Full
back, right halfback, tackles
are weak. With the loss of
Butch Nelson, only letterman
fullback expected back, the
Olivermen are dependent on
smoothing out the play of Jim
my Newquist and Tom Oxman,
both members of last year’s
freshman squad. Two other
heavy contenders for the
smasher’s job are big Bill Dun
lap from Pasadena, California,
and Bob Taylor, reserve from
the 1941 varsity squad.
The right half post is particu
larly lacking in reserve strength
behind Curt Mecham, regular
from last year. Dick Ashcom and
Ed Moshofsky, letterman tackles,
both form the ramparts of the
Green forward wall, but are left
without any proved reserve
strength.
Fast Backs
The scrimmage, which netted
four scores against the Whites,
was marked with brilliant run
ning by Mecham, Tom Ro'olin,
and Jake Leicht. Ray Segale,
first-string left guard, Duke Iver
son, green quarterback, and Dick
Ashcom, right tackle, came
through with smashing blocks all
over the field.
Replacing Right-end Bill
Regner, who was competing in
the Portland track meet, was
Bert Gianelli, from the frosh
ranks. The left wing job was
handled by Hymie Harris, let
terman from the ’39 varsity
club. Other players in Green
were Segale and Val Culwell,
guards; Elliott Wilson, center;
Ashcom and Moshofsky,
tackles. Alternating at left half
were Roblin and Leicht, and
Newquist and Dunlap at full
back. Mecham, right half; and
Iverson, quarterback.
frosh hurlers, Monday for 13 hits
and 14 runs, while Pete Igoe, Bob
Rieder, and Monk Karterman
were stopping the Ducklings with
five hits and three runs.
All-American semi-pro play
er Dick Whitman, led the var
sity squad at the plate with a
home run, a triple, and a pair
of singles in four trips to the
plate. Also teeing off on some
long hits were, Bill Hamel,
Chuck Clifford, and John Bu
balo.
Wenatchee Game
Cornell added another pre-sea
son encounter to his rain de
pleted schedule with the an
nouncement of a game with the
Wenatchee Chiefs of the Western
International league to be played
here Monday, April 14.
The Webfoots will leave at 9
a.m. today for Forest Grove.
Making the trip are: catchers,
Bud Walker and Billy Calver;
pitchers, Pete Igoe, Nick Beg
leries, and Bob Rieder; infield
ers, Chuck Clifford, Jack Shim
shak, Bill Hamel, Buck Berry,
Tini Smith, and Whitey Aus
t i n , and outfielders, Hank
Burns, Bill Carney, Dick Whit
man, and John Bubalo.
Igoe will start the first game
of the doubleheader, with Beg
leries throwing them in for the
nightcap.
Jitters Help
Tip Frosh 9
The bombarding bats of the
Oregon varsity drove the Duck
lings to cover Monday after
noon when the senior team
hung up a 14 to 3 win in a sev
en-inning contest.
The varsity banged out a total
of 13 hits, coupled with seven
errors on the part of the nervous
fresh to ring up their total.
Standing the blunt of the var
sity attack was A1 Wimer who,
with but little support from his
jittery backers, gave the total 14
runs to the varsity, only six of
which were earned.
Igoe Bothersome
The yearlings found the slants
of Pete Igoe very bewildering and
were able to collect only one hit
in his three-inning stay on the
mound, a fluke behind the mound.
The frosh grabbed their first
run in the fourth off Bob Rie
der when a wild throw by Buck
Berry and a walk set the stage
for George Sertic’s single which
drove in the run. The frosh add
ed two more in the seventh
when they bunched three hits
to drive in the two tallies.
John Warren tried various
combinations, giving both Ed
Crane and Bob Farrow tries at
the hot corner. Besides Wimer
on the mound Warren also gave
Tom Oxman a whirl at things.
On the Blue team were Jim
Shephard and Tony Crish, ends;
Chuck Elliott and Merritt Kuffer
man, tackles, Morris Jackson and
Bodner, guards, and Hersch Pat
ton and George Van Pelt alter
nating at center. Roy Ell, smash
ing line-backer, Inky Boe, Buzz
Baker, and Tom Oxman formed
the Blue backfield quartet.

UO Trackmen Slosh
Through Portland U
/
By JOHNNY RAHANANUI
University of Portland's eindermen ran off with eight firsts to
seven for University of Oregon trackmen; however, the Ducks,
capitalizing on a herd of seconds and thirds, wrapped up the dual
meet here on Hayward field Saturday, 60 to 70.
Rain trickled down spasmodically and was whipped across the field
by mild winds. The track was on the ooshy side. Conditions were any
rning out iavoraDie i o r do ui
teams, but the competition was
there.
Best performance of the after
noon was Sophomore Bob Mc
Kinney’s 2:00.2 880-yard gallop,
which eclipsed Kirm Storli’s dual
meet mark of 2:01.5 posted in
1938.
Groping Hurdler
Funniest show of the day was
the one-man stumbling exhibition
staged by Goehler of Portland in
the 120-yard high hurdles. The
“off the beam" Pilot kicked over
every hurdle enroute from the
starting line to the tape except
the last one. This he cleared by
scrambling up after falling flat
on his face over the next-to-the
last barrier, staggering back for
a short distance, then lunging
forward and over the standard.
There was some talk of disquali
fying him for leaving the last
hurdle up. Later it was reported
that the reason he lurched drunk
enly down the track was that he
had lost his specs.
Busiest man during the en
counter, Oregon's Coach Bill
Hayward. In brown trousers
and rain jacket, that hat of his
pulled over his forehead, lie ap
peared all over the field at the
same time.
High-point man. indomitable
