Duck Tracks By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports Keith Bannister may be tlie No. 4 pitcher on the Oregon pitching .staff. He knows how to pitch, although his control po far has been a.s .shaky as a maple leaf in a wind storm Bannister is one of those remarkable people who, determined to finish his school, marries and works to put his wife and him pelf through. Bannister had a cumulative GPA of better than honor roll grades last year besides working extensively to go to school. This year his grades are near the 3 point mark—all this in addition to working to fill two mouths with food. To top this off he decides to turn his hand to pitching. He tossed baseballs for Roseburg in Junior Legion play, Given a week or two to perfect his control and he may be pressing Pete Igoe, Nick Begleries, or Bob Rieder, the top three Duck hurlers. it's remarkable the game that Begleries played Saturday against Oregon State. True, he let four hits slip over his head in the .first inning, but for the next eight frames, he held the enemy to two blows. Consider that the game was Begleries first of the entire season. (Rain hampered workouts in early season to such an extent that Begleries never pitched a full game of ball.) He was seared in the first inning, but lie settled down after his weak start and threw ball like a veteran. Oregon State's Surprise Package Golf followers were no more surprised than the Oregon golfers Saturday when Oregon State’s divoteers walked off Corvallis country club course with the dual match locked up in their pockets, 1G to 11. Here on one hand we have the Wobfoots who set the high-flying ’Washington Huskies down in fine style last week. Visions of northern division golf pen nants came to the Ducks’ heads. Then came tlie Beaver dilemma. Dick Hanen, Shelby Golden, Bob Duden, Captain Bob Engelke, Don Cawley, and Chet Keller feel, however, that Orgeon State will fade from the race in the division play off. The race will be strictly two-team, Oregon and Wash ington, and the best four-man team will grab the flag. Golden says, ‘‘Oregon State was playing over their heads.” Spring Football—Minus Many Bpring football progresses into the finals, but without most of the key men. Bill lleguer, Curt Meeliam. Chuck Elliott, «hikf "Flash" Leicht, Ken Oliphaut and a couple of other players frisk about under Colonel Bill Hayward. Tony Crish has graduated into baseball, Tom Oxnian is out for frosh baseball. But still a remnant of the gridmen drill —crack shoulders and bump heads—in the warm spring weather with an eye peeled toward the coining season. Frank Boyd, ace left halfback, left the field Monday afternoon holding- his right wrist. He was rushed to the nearest X-ray to take a picture, but fortunately no fracture showed. Boyd turned his wrist under him as he fell—it just folded on him—and it was feared that he would be out for the remaining few days of spring’ practice. It’s okeli now and Trainer Bob Officer thinks it is merely a sprain. Eight more days of practice remain. Two Saturday scrim mages v ill finish it up with some odd week days thrown in.

Frosh Thinclads Blast Axemen, Uni High in Meet Day, Munro Star in Prep Contest By WALLY HUNTER The University of Oregon frosh track team yesterday bounded hack from their dis astrous opening day meet to lambast the Eugene Axemen and University high school’s' Golden Tide, in a triangular meet on Hayward field. The frosh, never pressed at any time, completely dominated the field and cinder layout against their prep school rivals to pile up a total of 90 points to Eugene's 441-2, and University high's 17. Ten firsts, 9 seconds, and three thirds were taken by the frosh. Owen Day Starts Only three first places escaped the greedy grasp of the Duck lings—these were in the broad jump, mile, and 220—frosh cinder men took second places in all of these events. Owen “Happy” Day, frosh hurdler, was high point man for the frosh with 12 counters. Day flashed into the tape win ner of both the high and low hurdles and was third in the broad jump. Following Day was Rod Munro, with wins in the pole vault, and second place in both broad jump and discus. Morrie Riback and Yeryl Alex ander both scored eight points. Times in the sprints were slowed considerably by a gusty breeze that whipped around the oval. Frosh Handicapped The frosh were allowed points for only two places in any one event in order to keep the college men from dominating such events as the high jump and pole vault.

Webfoot Regulars Bounce Reserves In Practice Game Oregon’s “regular" Duck baseballers aren’t kidding about this diamond game, and they didn’t waste any time hopping all over Nick Begleries, Pete Igoe, and Keith Bannister in an intersquad encounter Tuesday. No one knew what the actual score was but the first string outfit had more runs than >011 could count on your two hands, while Bob ouuvYuig jyxcn wjl v^iaoa, and Monk Karterman, were hand cuffing the “yannigans” without a run. Berry Catches Buck Berry, who was having trouble picking up the fast grounders around third base, was shifted into the backstopping and played errorless ball from then on. Johnny Bubalo was brought in to cover the “hot corner,” send ing Hank Burns out to fill the gap in right field. Webfoot bats, which had an anemic look after the two Ore gon State tilts, took a turn for the better, with Don Kirsch, Chuck Clifford, Johnny Bubalo, and Dick Whitman, leading the parade that has given the team Coeds Eye Net Finals The second round deadline for the girls’ tennis tournament has been set for 5 o’clock Fri day, announced Marilyn Christ lieb, tennis manager.

Of 704 students at Eau Claire (Wis.) State Teachers college last semester, 302 were from Eau Claire homes. the “murderers’ row” monicker, blasting out long hits. One of Whitman’s drives hit high on the fence in right field, while Kirsch rolled one over the bank in center. Kirsch and Clifford again showed some of the fielding fire that made such a great double play combination last year. Reserve keystoner, Jack Shim shak, also caught railbirds’ eyes with his wliip-like throws to first base.
