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.

Baseman Don Kirsch, and Short
stop Bill Hamel. 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.

Colonel Bill was reluctant about
letting him jump. 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.”
