    Duck Nine Blasts Cougars, 9 to 0
Igoe Limits WSC
To Four Bingles
Clifford Leads Webfoot Batting Attack
With Triple and Two Singles; Oregon's
Defensive Play Sparkles
By DON KIRSCH
WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, Pullman, May 14—(Special
to Emerald)—Oregon’s ball-smashing nine moved one game nearer
th'e Northern division pennant here today as Pete Igoe, veteran
Webfoot righthander, pitched 4-hit shutout ball to win 9 to 0
from the hapless Washington State Cougars.
Combining an 11-hit attack with eight Cougar misplays, the Ducks
scored first in the second inning, while Igoe held the Bailevites in
close check.
Chuck Clifford and Johnny
Bubalo led the Webfoot bombard
ment on starting Cougar hurler
Hank Bushman, and Lefty Cham
bers. Clifford slammed out three
hits in four trips to the plate,
one of them a long triple to right
centerfield. Bubalo hit a triple
far over the leftfielder's head for
Oregon's only other extra-base
blow.
Heavy Hitters
Oregon’s heavy scoring came in
the second, third, and the ninth
innings on the heavy hitting of
Carney, Bubalo, Clifford, and
Berry.
The win put the "Oregon's
Murderer's’’ row a game and a
half ahead of the second piace
Oregon State Beavers, who were
idle today.
Igoe, pitching near-perfect
ball, allowed no free passes to
first, and with the fleet footed
Webfoot outfield coming up
with great defensive play, he
was never in serious trouble.
The two teams meet again to
morrow in the second game of the
series, with Nick Begleries handl
ing the hurling duties for the
Webfoots and Bill Sewell pitching
for the Cougars.
It was the seventh straight win
for the ball hawking Ducks and
the eighth in nine starts.

Netsters Hit
Montana 6-1
Oregon’s varsity netsters re
covered sufficiently from their

Coach Paul Washke's netmen
swept through all duals except
the No. 2 doubles event, which

Clark Wins
Len Clark, Webfoot No. 1
man and Northern division

6 matches to 1, on the latter's
slick concrete courts, or better.
This varsity tussle follows up the
frosh-rook battle here, during
which the Duckling netmen will
be striving for at least a 4 to 3
repeat win during their last en-.
counter with the baby Beavers,
that one in Corvallis.
Tuesday the varsity squad
hikes over to Linfield for a
tourney, and at 7 a.m. Thurs

Seattle for the Northern divi

Conference Meet;

Pullman fans will be treated
to a choice morsel of track per
fection Saturday when the an
nual northern division meet
convenes, bringing together
stars from the Washington,
Washington State, Idaho, Ore
gon State, and Oregon cam
puses.
A glance over the entrants’
names reveals a bevy of crack
thinclad performers due for ex
hibition on the Cougar oval.
The assault on the 9.5 record
jointly held by Carson Shoemake,
Oregon, and Lee Orr, Washington
State, in the 100-yard dash is ex
pected to be seriously threatened.
Some four speed demons, all of
whom have turned in good times,
will be anxiously poised in an
effort to lower the old mark.
Haley Tops 100
Best century time is boasted by
Washington State's Pat Haley,
who clipped off a smooth 9.6 just
one-tenth second above the rec
ord. Kjell Qvale, speedy Wash
ington Norwegian, has a 9.7 to
his credit, while Oregon’s own
Jake (Flash) Leicht was clocked
at 9.8 in the Oregon State dual
meet. Bob Smith, Husky sopho
more flash, also is included in the
sprint elite by virtue of excep
tionally low times.
Les Steers, of course, will be
the “big" name of the conclave
and will have his sights on the
existing 6 foot 6 inch meet high
jump mark.
Idaho lays claim to a high
class performer in Phil Liebow
itz, veteran miler with a 4:12.2
time marked after his name.
Further medical examination of
Ray Dickson, injured sprinter
and broad jumper, revealed only
a slight bone chip and he will be
able to compete in the meet Sat
urday.
Colonel Bill Hayward will pack
his outfit of 14 athletes off to
Pullman Friday noon on the train.
Those making the trip include:
Captain Ehle Reber, Bob Mc
Kinney, Francis Tuckwiler, Boyd

Warren Hammered
By Frosh Yannigans
The Duckling ball club finally solved the mystery behind the “jmt
ball” offerings of “Honest John” Warren, and Wednesday afternoon
the Yannigans proceeded to club out eight hits and as many rune- l<?
beat Warren’s number one bunch 8 to 5 in a five-inning game.
While the subs were making merry on the slants of Warren, "W'Joti
traband” Bill Gissberg was holding the main squad to a. mere thro©
Aiiuo v>mta uiuicu miu lilt* live
runs on a few costly misplays.
Backing up Gissberg in the
Yannigan infield was a "duke's
mixture.” Warren Taylor, better
known for his actions on a bas
ketball court was on first.
Perched at the keystone combina
tion were Bob "Moe” Sheridan
and Dick Rathbun who are usual
ly taking their turns on the
mound. The one legitimate in
fielder was Hoover on third.
Six Run Rally
Warren's lads were in front 2
to 1 going into the third but
things then exploded. Two hits
and a walk filled the bases. Hoo
ver's single shoved two runs
across and an error and a hit
filled them again. John walked
one in, and then Aaron Jones

cleared away six counters had
been rung up.

The next game on the dot bet
