, First-Place Webfoot Face Seven Games In Eight-Day Jaunt At 4:50 o'clock this afternoon, the north-bound train pulls out of the Eugene station, with Hobbjr Hobson and his “hittingest baseball team” aboard, off fbr a six-game invasion of Washington and Idaho. Hobson Confident Hobson was confident last night that his ball-hawking Webfoots could‘stop any counter attack planned by the Huskies, Cougars, or Vandals. Tomorrow the battling Ducks meet the Washington State Cougars in the first game of the so-called “suicide jaunt8’ into the Palouse country. It will be make or break for the Webfoots, who play six con ference, and one non-conference game in eight days, two with the Cougars, two with Idaho, two with the University of Washing ton, and one with the University ©f Portland. Webfoots in First Place Still riding high on the crest of the Northern division race, the Webfoots should win four of the six conference tilts to clinch the title. Coach Hobson sent his travel ing squad through light work outs Saturday and Monday and the entire team was in top play ing condition. Boasting a team batting average of .346 in eight games, if the pitching staff holds up the Ducks should be tough to whip. Making the trip wrill be: pitch ers, Pete Igoe, Bob Rieder, and Nick Begleries; catcher, Billy Calvert; first baseman, Chuck Clifford; second baseman, Don Kirsch; third baseman, Buck Ber ry; shortstop, Bill Hamel; out fielders, Captain Dick Whitman, Bill Carney, Johnny Bubalo, Hank Burns; and utility men, Warren “Tini” Smith, Jack Shimshak, and Tony Crish. Manager Ralph Peters wrill complete the travel ing squad. Bubalo May Pitch If the going gets rough for the hurling staff, Hobson will call on Johnny Bubalo to take his turn on the mound. If a catch ing emergency arises, Buck Ber ry can replace “iron man’’ Billy Calvert, sending Smith into the third base position. Six Records May Fall in State Meet If qualifying district marks can be relied upon at all, six state high school records may face ex tinction when Oregon prep track sters gather in their 12th annual convention at Hayward field Sat urday. Outstanding performance over the past wreek was the :09.9 turned in by Wally Still, state 100-yard dash titleholder from Milton-Freewater in the century event. This scamper tied the prep record jointly held by Bobby Grayson of Jefferson and Bob Leslie of Klamath Falls. The speedy Still has a hand in another record-threatening event —the half-mile relay.

Ryan, B.S., LL.B., Mgr. 860 Willamette, Eugene Phone 2761-M UW Neters Drop Ducks Here, 6 to 1 Washington unleashed on Ore gon Saturday probably the most potent tennis team in the north ern division, as the Huskies slashed through the Ducks 6 matches to 1, posting defeat No. 2 on the Webfoots since northern division play opened this season. Bob Odman of the Huskies gave the Ducks’ hopes of grab bing the conference title a ter rific wallop, when he clubbed Len Clark, present northern di vision singles champ, 6-4, 6-2. This is the second defeat in league play Clark has suffered, the first one coming off when he bumped up against Miller of WSC in Pullman during the Ducks’ swing through the In land Empire. Oregon’s only win occurred in the No. 1 doubles match, when Clark and Kerm Smith joined forces to beat Odmna and H. Loqvan, 6-4, 6-3. Beavers Next Next on the menu for Oregon is Oregon State. Already beaten 6 matches to 1 by the Webfoots this season, the Beavers hike up here to battle Coach Paul Wash ke’s netsters on the University courts Saturday. Tuesday follow ing the Ducks pick on Linfield. Wednesday they take it easy, and Thursday Coach Washke herds his boys together for a jaunt to Seattle and the northern division playoffs wrhich open there the next day. Summary: Singles — Odman, W, beat Clark, O, 6-4, 6-2; Eden, W, beat Smith, O, 6-1, 6-0; Lesebzre, W, beat Baker, O, 1-6, 6-4, 6-0: Lo qvan, W, beat Wiener, O, 6-1, 6-0; Holbrock, W, beat Williams, O, 6-1, 6-3. Doubles — Clark and Smith, O, beat Odman and Loqvan, W, 6-4, 6-3; Eden and Watanabe, W, beat Baker and Williams, O, 6-4, 8-6. Hi aggregation turned in the 880 grind in 1:24.5 Medford’s fleet-footed ace, Ray Johnson, another state champion, stands an excellent chance of cracking his 1940 time in the 440 of :49.5. Johnson's qualifying mark was just one-tenth of a second slower than last year’s record. A fast mile should be in order with Grace of Clatskanie cover ing th edistance in 4:29.9. The ex isting mile record is listed at 4:29 flat. Another defending champ re turns with an eye set for his own mark in Schweiger of Adrian. Holder of the low hurdles mark of :22.8, Schweiger was just six tenths of a second slower in qualifying last weekend. The final threat as the dope sters see it might come in the high jump where Anderson of Imbler high, has leaped an even six feet. KING OF 'MURDERS' ROW' Dick WTiitman, captain of the iiaru hitting Webfoot baseball team, leads his mates into Washington and Idaho for a seven-game in eight day jaunt. Whitman is top hitter of the Duck lineup. His timely hits during the first half of the season have accounted for many of Ore gon’s runs. Ducklings Lose Again To Rook Nine, 6 to 3 The Oregon State rooks made it two in a row Saturday morning on Howe field when they humbled the Oregon Ducklings 6 to 3. As in the Friday game which the rooks won, it was the stick work of little Joe Kato, rook outfielder, that spelled the biggest headaches for frosh twirlers. The diminutive outfielder got three safe blows in four trips to the plate. Kay Kiyokawa held the Oregon Yearling batters well in check for seven innings, allowing six singles and two runs. An error and a triple by Martini in the eighth drove Kiyokawa to the sidelines, and Dick Johnson finished. Sim onsen handled throwing duties for the frosh, giving up nine hits and five runs in eight innings before giving way to A1 Wimer. Kooks Score First The rooks drew first blood when they shoved two across in the opening inning". An error placed a man on first and Kato sent him home with his lofty triple to center. Kato came across on the second error of the inning. Nice playing by the rooks in the last half of the second held the frosh to but two runs on three hits, a walk, and a hit batsman. Tom Oxman singled. Martini singled and Oxman was out when he overran second. Bill Bishop poked a single through shortstop to drive Martini to second. Both runners advanced on a walk ar.d then trouped over on a costly error. Summary: R H E Frosh . 020 000 010— 3 8 4 Rooks. 201 010 002— 6 10 4 Kiyokawa, Johnson and Kato; Simonsen, Wimer, and Peterson. Freshmen (Continued from page six) his record.

Stan Ray, frosh anchor man in the relay, brought his team home the winner in that event when he closed up a sizeable rook lead to win.
