Commerce high school of San Francisco.
Rain Drives Netmen
Off Courts;OSC Next
Rain poured down on the University courts yesterday, even before
Oregon’s varsity netmen could shed campus clothes and trot out to
swat a few balls over the net in a practice round. Downed 6 matches
to 1 last Saturday by the Washington Huskies, Coach Paul Washke’s
Ducks have Oregon State on their list for a battle next Saturday.
Oregon is roosting even in the won and lost columns both in team
and individual matches. The
Ducks split on. their thrust
through the inland empire,
squeezing out a 4 to 3 victory
over Idaho’s Vandals and losing
by an identical score to Washing
ton State. The Webfoots then
waxed Oregon State 6 to 1, and
were drubbed here over the week
end by WTashington.
Clark Falters
A disappointment to Oregon
net fans is Len Clark, Xo. 1
singles man. Clark flashed
brililant tennis last year to
sweep through all opposition in
dual jousts, climaxing this ex
hibition by slashing to the Pa
cific coast nothem division
singles title in the Seattle play
offs. The Xo. 1 YVebfoot netster
appears to have slipped a bit
this year, winning but two of
the four singles matches he’s
played.
In doubles, however, it's a dif
ferent story. Clark and Kerm
Smith are undefeated to date in
conference play.
Other Xetters
Remainder of the Webfoot per
sonnel include Frank Baker,
Norm Wiener, and Johnny Wil
liams. Baker, last year’s No. 1
frosh racquet wielder, graduated
into the No. 3 spot on the varsity
squad. Baker has improved over
last year and should bat it out
writh Smith for the No. 1 spot
when Clark leaves at the end of
this season via graduation.
Williams, transfer from Mult
nomah college, has consistently
seen action in No. 4. Wiener, who
sacrificed the northern division
trek when law school studies be
came heavy, climbed up at mid
season to hold the No. 3 spot.

Cougar Lair Today
Seven Games
Tomorrow the Webfoots’ "mur
derer’s row" plays the Cougars
again. Friday they move across
the Idaho border for games with
the Vandals Friday and Saturday.
Sunday the team travels back to
Seattle for a two-game scries
there. On Wednesday of next
week on the return trip they
stop over in Portland for a one
game stand against the Univer
sity of Portland Pilots.
Hank Bushman, right-handed
Indian curveballer, will prob
ably get the starting assign
ment for the Cougars against
the hit-crazy Ducks. Bushman
was very effective against Ore
gon here for five innings as a
relief hurler but weakened un
der a tenth-inning rally to drop
the game, 5 to 4.
Pete Igoe will probably pitch
for Oregon in Thursday's game.
The return of First-Baseman
Chuck Clifford to the Duck lineup
once again places the hard-driv
ing Hobson proteges in full force.
State Meet
Billed Here
By WALLY HUNTER
While the University of Ore
gon officials arc busier than a
two-fingered typist making
preparations for them, a galaxy
of prep high school stars are
biding their time waiting for
the 15th annual Oregon state
high school track and field
championships. Over 200 ath
letes will enter.
Fritz Kramer, Eugene high
school coach, who is holding
drawings for heats and lanes will
be held here Friday, as soon as
all district entry lists are in.
Chief difficulties of the Oregon
officials is the straightening out
of entry lists of three districts.
Ties for places in these districts
puts a crimp in plans. These
events will have to be run off
again because only two men in
each event can be entered in the
state.

Duck Bats
DefyWSC
By TOMMY WRIGHT
Sometime this morning
Oregon’s Webfoot diamond
eers arrive in Pullman,
Washington, and this after
noon they take the field
against Wild Buck Bailey’s
gas house Cougar nine.
Nick Begleries, diminu
tive right-hander, will prob
ably be Coach Hobby Hob
son's choice to hurl against
the hard luck Cougars, and
if the “Busher” can check
WSC the Ducks will be well
on the way to their third
conference championship in
five years.
After today's game, the Ducks
face five conference and one non
conference games in seven days.
An even split on the road trip
should prove the necessary mar
gin to put the Lemon and Green
team in possession of the 1941
pennant.

Frosh Clip
Salem Hi
A1 Wimer mixed up some
mystifying southpaw slants
Monday to hurl four-hit ball
and set the Salem ball club
down, 9 to 1. Still smarting
from a double setback from the
Oregon State rooks in which
their bats had been stifled, the
Jfrosh boomed out against the
capital city boys with an even
dozen hits.
Bob Farrow, Bill Bishop, and
Wimer led the hitting barrage
put up by the frosh, each collect
ing two hits. Ballard clouted out
a long triple. Every hitter for
the frosh that trouped up to the
plate came out with at least one
hit recorded in the score book.
At field the frosh also came
up with some sparkling ball
playing as they went through
the full nine innings without
booting any.
The frosh will have another
fling at the Oregon State year
ling club next Friday when the
: two meet for their third game on
Howe field.
