Oregon-OSC Relays Call Ducks Duck Tracks By BOB TLAYELLE, Co-Sports Editor ___ All the fanfare attending any league opening will hang over the Oregon northern division, opening today of the king of spring sports—baseball. Chairman Joe Gurley lias planned the ii.su.il flag raising ceremonies. Oregonian Sports Editor Bair If. Gregory will pitch the first hall—from then on it'll be a cjuestion of Nick Begleries’ ability for nine innings. Oregon Slate used up Oregon’s other two hurler.s yesterday—Pete Igoe and Bob Rieder. Mayor Elisha Large has proclaimed today “Baseball Day.” Governor Charles A, Sprague, Chancellor Frederick Hunter, and President Donald M. Erb will be on hand to take a bow when introductions are passed around, The University of Oregon band will play a few numbers. The Order of the “0” men, bedecked with traditional white caps, are to occupy their own private section and use their lips for a whisk broom on the blarney stone. Student Attendance Desired Gurley with John Montag, assistant chairman, pleaded for “students to turn out en masse to show their support to the team. The more students the better.” Under Dick “Cruiser” Ashcom’s direction prizes have been secured from the downtown merchants to be given to the players excelling or blundering in certain firsts. These are for hits, runs batted in, errors, assists, and so forth. Oregon State yesterday gave prizes at their opening day for everything from the loudest rooter and best dressed coed to the car with the most, people in it in the parade. The winning- car had some 20 fellows hanging from it. In short, Oregon will haw a gala opening day celebration o fit-' own with all the noise and peanuts so dear to the heart , of a baseball fan. Vallaincourt Will Hun From Beaver camp come all sorts of rumors of how Don Vallaincourt, star distance man. is out with leg injuries. Publicity reports claim he won’t be able to run in the annual Oregon-Oregon State relays today at Corvallis. Discount half of it and throw the other half out the window. Vallaincourt will be entered in nearly everything in the books in order to beat Oregon. Colonel Bill Ha; ward and Captain Ehlo Belier calculate to Wv> the Slaters a* mu h blowout trouble as possible. Hayward think. Oregon lias a good dial. >e of ticing DSC. It would be loo much to ask to beat them. 5 to 3, but the Ducks might ntpi “■•ee through. Much depends upon Ken Olipliant and the t:( u transfer. Jake Leieht. Heieht is still cursing the day last fall when a grid rival tromped cleats onto his foot. The result ing bone bruise has been painful. Hayward, a master at rigging up little devices, is making up a little gadget for the heel vvl icb may protect it.

Kirsch played the entire game after only one day's practice—he reteurned with the hoopmen from Hawaii Thurs day. He hit one for four—the other three were long flies to the outfield—and was credited with five putouts and two assists. Oregon runners on the bases were very fleet. The Ducks slipped four stolen bases from un der the Beavers’ stolid feet. Ore gon played errorless ball, while the Beavers bungled one hit. Oregon State tallied first. Norm Peters drove Elwin Mc Rae across the plate. Next came the Duck sluggers. Two runs came chugging across. Bubalo was responsible for both. Then came the disastrous third for the Ducks. Beavers pelted Rieder’s pitches as soon as they neared the plate. Four runs came in on three hits. Igoe replaced Rieder. Oregon collected one run in the fifth and then waited until the seventh. El liott was to meet his pitcher’s Waterloo. How those Ducks poured it to Elliott! Five Oregon hits went on record in the sev enth and four runs came across the plate. Elliott was more than relieved when the stretch period came. Tension mourned in me until innings. Oregon led, 7 to 6, as a result of the seventh inning. The large opening day crowd became nervous and restless. Igoe was pitching great ball and receiving support afield from Bubalo, Car ney, Kirsch, and others, and great support at the plate. The hitting finally won the game for him. Oregon's Bubalo drove Whitman across the plate in the ninth for the other marginal run.

Odds on Staters In Joust Today Win number seven will be the objective of Oregon’s track crew when it weighs anchor at 12 noon today, bent for Corvallis—and the Oregon State Beavers. Thirteen of these relay meetings have gone by the boards since 1928 with the Webfoots pulling out ahead on six occa sions. Oregon State claims five successes while two encounters have terminated in deadlocks. It will be an extremely pleasant but unexpected surprise if the ducks come tnrougn wiui an up set over the highly-touted Beaver thinclads. Coach Bill Hayward is keeping his fingers crossed and said he would gladly settle for a tie. Several critical questions have arisen to perplex the Duck mentor prior to the tilt. Kenny Oliphunt and Jake Leicht, who were being relied upon in the sprints, were still plagued with stiff legs, a carry-over from their football workouts. Wheth er these two will be in condi tion to compete today is a poser which can not be determined until meet time. Harvey McKee, member of the highjumping quarter, suffered a leg injury earlier in the week, and (Continued from page five) loped the Pi Kaps 4 to 1. Jack Boone and Bill Dunlap each tallied a goal to complete the ATO scoring. Jim Harris scored the line tally for the Pi Kaps. Bob Irvin, star frosh swimmer, scored the only goal of the game as the Fijis dumped the Theta Chis 1 to 0 in the closest game of the day. Orides who are planning to at tend the potluck dinner Monday night are asked to sign up with Mrs. Edith Siefert, Gerlinger hostess, before Monday noon. All Order of the “O” men will meet at the Igloo at 1:30 today before the game.

If McKee i3 held out, Captain Ehle Reber, who is doubling up in the sprints, will be drafted to fill in the high jump quota. The last bit of perturbing news to strike the Oregon camp was that Kolpli Fuhrman, ace sophomore hurdler, was not in very good shape having only two days of practice behind him. Fuhrman turned out for the first time Thursday when he returned with the basket ball squad from their Hawaiian island excursion. He had not recovered his old speed of last year. Hayward debunked the news that because Don Vaillancourt, OSC crack miler, was laid up that Oregon would have a better chance to cop the distance events. “These are our weakest events,’’ he said, “and this should make little difference.” The results of past relay meets: Year Oregon OSC 1928 . 3 6 1929 . 5 4 1930 . 2 6 1931 . 5 3 1932 . 5 3 1933 . 3 5 1934 . 4 4 1935 . 5 3 1936 . 7 3 1937 . 5 5 1938 . 7 1 1939 . 3 5 1940 . 3 6 There are more Kimball Pianos in use in Eugene than those of any other make! * Music Students — You can rent a new Kimball from us for your practice at $6 per month.
