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.

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

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.
