Whitman’s Homer Blasts WSC
If we were a foreign correspondent this column would
probably begin something like this—SOMEWHERE IN
WASHINGTON, May 16—The University of Oregon’s
Webfoots prepared to roll their heavy artillery across the
Washington state border for a lightning thrust at Forrest
Twogood’s hapless army of Vandal baseballers.
Just two wins away from the Northern division title, Hobby
Hobson's ‘ big guns” at this stage of the season are virtually
In. a3 far as the pennant is concerned.
Team Built Around Hard Hitters
Taking it for granted that Oregon can’t lose now, Hobson
br.s built a strong team around a lineup of heavy hitters and
Ouc of the weakest pitching staffs in Webfoot history.
We say it was one of the weakest pitching staffs, even
after news of Pete Igoe’s shutout game Wednesday, for
v ith the exception of the tight hurling by little Nick
Begleries, opposing teams have scored run after run off the
< rest of the staff,
Hut at the same time, Hobson came up with bis “luttingest
dub in the conference” to alleviate any lack of pitching.
jjsicks Have Averaged 10 Runs a Game
.With ten games of the .season gone, the lineup of Don Ivirseh,
Dick Whitman, C'huck Clifford, Buck Berry, Johnny Bnbalo,
Bill Carney, Bill Calvert, and Bill Iiamel, have averaged 10
fu.twj a game, which in any league is enough to win ball games.
Defensively too, the Webfoots misplays have come few and
f;-.r between, ‘;Yes, we have made mistakes, perhaps four or
five bad ones for the season,” said Hobson. "'But they have
been fewer than our opponents.”
The second place Oregon State Beavers are obliged to
play the rest of the season under pressure. They can’t lose
oe out they go, while the Ducks can lose half of their
i remaining games and still shoo in the champions,
But can the Northern division hurlers stop Oregon’s “mur
d ters’ i’)v ” for three games? That seems improbable, how
ever, for such experienced players as the Duck lineup boasts.
Idaho’> hapless Vandals offer opposition only when Dick
Snyder i> pitching, and it is doubtful even if lie can hold the
Ducks i i cheek, and Washington offers competition only when
B'crer is doing the hurl'n g. but he wa> touched by the Beavers
foi 11 bits in winning Wednesday.
R elay Team Given Chance in Division
