Ducks Outslug Pilots, 11-8
Eight-Run Opening
Gives Varsity Nod
In Hitting Fracas
By .JOE MILLER
The Oregon Yanks picked up
•where they left off last year,
downing the University of Port
land Pilots with an eight-run bar
rage in the first inning that drove
Pitcher “Cuzz” Shofkin to the
nhowers and sewed up the game
for the Ducks, 11 to 8. It was a
ragged ball game, Oregon mak
ing six miscues and the Pilots
four. But that ever-present Ore
gon hitting power supplied every
thing that was lafcked in fielding
dnd pitching.
The Webfoot^' made their
eight-run run initial frame flurry
on two hits, a tripl'd by Johnny
Bubalo arid1 a double1 'tty £>onny
Kirgch tliat droVd ill-'tbVkb tuns,
three Portland errofi,1' and ‘a long
Series of walks. Coach Mathews
finally removed Shofkin, but not
until the damage-had-been done.
Portsidfcr ’Etefno ascended the
hill and, held the Webfodts in
check the rest of the why, al
though he was continually in
trouble.
Shortstop Paul O'Toole proved
to be the main fly in the Ducks’
ointment, bashing out two doubles
find a triple in five trips to the
plate. Vince Pesky, Portland
chucker and brother of the fant
< us Johnny Pesky, was not named
to chuck as a last minute change
< ccurred in Matty Mathews plans.
Diminutive Nick Begleries
started on the mound for the
Duck nine and hurled well until
fi, fifth-inning Pilot uprising
drove him to the showers. Lanky
fireball thrower Bob Rieder fol
lowed lii m and received rough
treatment at the hands of the Pi
lots and his infield.
Duck Backs
Work on New
Offensive
Under the scrutinizing eyes of
Coaches Tex Oliver and Vaughn
Corley, the Webfoot grid squad
continued to toil last night in an
ticipation of another vigorous
{scrimmage Saturday afternoon.
The squad is in near perfect
condition ami practices are going
ahead under full steam. Tackling,
blocking, and general defensive
Unties still topped last night's
workout, though Tex is beginning
to bring- offensive plays into the
foreground more each afternoon.
Hackfield Shows
The hackfield has shown a
passing and running attack that
will not lag much behind last
tail's aggregation of ball car
riers. Bob Reynolds, a back of
last year’s flush club, is proving
to be one of the trickiest half
backs among the newcomers to
varsity. Bob Morrison, a team
mate of Reynolds, is holding iiis
own at left half. Both lack ex
perience of varsity caliber, but
have adapted themselves to the
faster style put out by Oliver and
Corley.
Practice was closed with a
short offensive drill. Today’s
drill will probably be on the light
side, in preparation for Satur
day's big all-out heavy scrim
mage.
Oregon had their hitting
clothes with them as they
cracked out 14 hits, 8 for
extra bases. Centerfielder Dick
Whitman led the Ducks with four
line bingles in six attempts while
Bob Hamel drove four runs
across the plate.
(Ed. Note. This story is not
verified due to the uncertainty of
the reports received from Port
land. ) The following is a brief
box score:
Oregon .801 000 200-11-14-6
Portland .001 051 001— 8-11-4
Batteries: Shofkin, Eterno and
Ryan; Begleries, Rieder, and Wi

Alpha Blanks Gams;
Holloman Gives 1-Hit
By “BENNY”
Alpha hall's diminutive red
headed chucker, George Hollo
man finally came into his own
yesterday pitching' spectacular
shutout ball against a previously
undefeated Gamma hall nine. Al
pha won 5 to 0 as Holloman gave
up a lone scratch single by John
Azivedo. A Wednesday fray saw
the Gammamen take an easy 9
to 3 victory over Omega hall. To
day Sherry Ross meets Omega
in a twilight game starting at
G:30 and Saturday the Sigma
warts cross bats in a doublehead
or, the morning game with Alpha
and the afternoon battle with
Sherry Ross.
George “The Fire” Holloman
had his control and speed with
him and the Alpha infield gave
him perfect support, especially
Roy Hensley, who handled 9
chances at third flawlessly. “Ben
noy, the Magnifico” hit another
home run for Alpha as they
grabbed an early lead. Bob Reu
ben and Art Davis divided the
hurling chores for Gamma, while
Slim Jim Linse down at the hot
spot corner for Gamma staved
off several threats by his light
ning throws. But the whole show
was Holloman and the tremen
dous homer of DiBenedetti and
another terrific drive down the
foul line for a triple by Franky
Sauer. It was Sauer's first hit of
the season. This triumph throws
Alpha into a first-place tie with
Sherry Ross in the interdorm
league and displaces Gamma
from the league leadership. Al
pha's catching was handled by
"Ozzy" Oswald, former Alpha
softball star who just returned
to the campus this term.

Gamma didn’t run into any
thing' like Holloman Wednesday
when they played Omega, now
cellar occupants. On the contrary,
they find the offering's of Shewn
Oils and Don Jones very much
to their liking', and they pounded
out a 9 to 3 win. Bob Reuben was
the winning' Gamma pitcher while
Jones suffered the loss. Jordan
was also on the hillock for Gam
ma doing a nice job. “Burly John”
Azivedo drove the ball all over the
ball park to slap in five runs.
Jim Linse was hot at third and
looked good. The summary is as
follows:
Gamma .300 120 3-9-14-2

Frosh ‘9’ Play
Squad Game;
Open April 10
Coach John Warren divided his
University of Oregon freshman
baseball squad into two teams
yesterday and sent the Ducklings
through a six-inning intersquad
game.
“Honest John” pitched for the
first team, laying them in easy,
while Fred Kuhl, Bill Clabaugh,
and Howard Applegate divided
mound chores for the second
team.
Before and after the game War
ren conducted a long infield and
outfield practice to get his team
in shape. The Ducklings open
their season April 10 against
Franklin high of Portland.
No official games can be played
until freshman eligibility slips
come back from conference com
missioner Edwin Atherton's of
fice.
The first string in yesterday’s
practice and the lineup that will
probably open against Franklin
was composed of Bryce Sidesing
er, who has had no previous base
ball experience but is adapting
himself well at his first base job;
John Gitzen, second base; Art
Murphy, shortstop; Bass Dyer,
third base; and Bob Aiken, Merle
Aden and Jim Prior in the out
field.
Au’ory Cromwell is slated' to do
the catching, while the pitchers
