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. The Mac

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

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.
