Webfoot Nine Pounds Pacific Twice WINDING UP A couple of Cleveland Indians play around in spring training. A long season lies ahead. Hayward Needs Patch Outfit for Track Squad Oregon’s encounter with the University of Portland on the Hayward cinderpath Saturday was rather squeaky. It was a brazen indication that Webloot Coach Bill Hayward will have to do a miraculous job of patch ing (providing he has the “patch”), if the Ducks are go ing to do anything exceeding average in northern division competition this year. Portland roped eight of fifteen first places, the Webfoots staving off defeat by edging into more seconds and thirds. Not until Francis Tuckwiler’s brilliant third lap in the mile relay, the meet’s nightcap, did Oregon fans settle down with a sigh of secur ity. The Pilots could have carted off the winner's wreath with a win here. Which all points to a road full of ruts for the Web foots. Sprinters Few Sprinters are a rarity. Hay ward used Bob Keen, a senior, and Sophomore Ross Gearhart Saturday, but all Keen could do was knock off a second in an 11.5 10-yard dash. Jake Leicht and Kenny Oliphant, at present engrossed in spring football, are luminous possibilities here, pro viding they can trot out to the track and rehearse a bit. Bob McKinney performed creditably. His record-breaking half mile—2:00.2—was all the more sparkling in view of sloppy weather. However, dou ble the distance and Oregon has nil. Bernie Engel hung on doggedly and lurched ahead of teammate Chuck Mallory at the finish line for third in a 4:42.0 mile . . . won by Port land. Bill Regner in the weight divi sion put the shot 44 feet 8 inches for a second, and let two Port land boys whip in ahead of him in the discus throw, his specialty. In all fairness to Regner, hold ing down an end berth in spring, football isn’t doing his discus flipping too much good. Bubalo Wields Duck Stick, Spurns Pros “Johnny Bubalo will blow a lot of publicity bubbles for Oregon this year”—certified and endorsed by you, me, and every other Joe who has seen the smooth working Webfoot ball club in pre-season practice sessions. No notoriety kid in any sense of the name, Johnny has turned down a stack of professional offers and plans to put no conclusion to his old, old ambition to earn an edu cation at Oregon. Bubalo hails from Portland via the Lincoln to-Oregon route. Hitting never below the .300 mark and fielding .995 last sea son with the Bend Elks in the state league, he stands well for ward in a line of sophomore con tenders for fielding honors. John ny began his baseball career pinch-hitting on the sand lots during his grammar school days. He later high-balled his way through all red lights to go as far as the national Junior Le gion playoffs at Oklahoma with the Post Office Pharmacy team in 1937. He spent one season with the crack Silverton club and has been in contract files of a few other semi-pro teams. “Little trouble” is the rating he gives to the Ducks’ 1941 pennant hopes. He predicts an easy time with Oregon State since Leovitch joined the Phil adelphia Athletic s—and he rates Leovitch a one-man team for an collegiate circuit. Johnny sees some sweet opposition, however, in Washington State. “I saw them play last year and they really have some slug gers in. Vera Butts, Dale Gentry, Bill Sewell, and several others,” says Johnny. "And they have a good fireball pitcher in Lymon.” Duck Hitters Batter Out, 6-3, 11-2, Wins Paced by the big bat of Charley "Zeke” Clifford, Oregon's hit crazy Duck baseball team stung Pacific university's Badg ers in a doubleheader in Forest Grove Tuesday, 6 to 3, and 11 to 2. Clifford pounded cut five hits in eight trips to the plate, bringing in six runs with his three doubles and a home run. Pete Igoe, starting the first encounter on the mound, was touched for all three of the Badg ers’ tallies. He -was relieved by Bob Rieder in the seventh inning. Oregon Hits The Webfoots didn't take long to get rolling on Pacific's hurler Lee, when Bill Hamel walked1, went to second on a passed ball, then scampered home on Johnny Bubalo's single to center. Lee tightened up and held the Ducks scoreless until the sixth frame when Jack Shimshak scored on Whitman's double to right. Then came the Webfoots “lucky seventh.” Buck Berry singled to left, went to second on Lee’s walk, and crossed the plate when Bill Carney drove a single into right field. The stage was set, the score was tied when Clifford came to the plate. The big first basenian then gave the Ducks the lead wih his booming honterun, scor ing Carney ahead of him. Ore gon scored again in the eighth. And again it was Clifford, this time with a double chasing across Hamel. In the second tilt, the hard swatting Webfoots got off to an other big start. Ten men came to the plate in the first inning, and before the side was out seven runs were scored on five hits and two errors. Begleries Hurls Pacific came back in the sec ond, finding Bob Rieder for four hits and two runs. And that was the end of the Badger scoring. Nick Begleries went in to pilch for the Ducks in tire third inning and for five straight frames stopped Pacific cold with nary a hit, nor run. He struck out seven. Oregon wasn't through scor ing though. They pounded across three runs on a single and three successive doubles by Berry, Carney, Hamel, and Clifford.
