Ducks Bomb Linfield, 13-2

Bill Hayward
Despite a steady downpour, the
intrasquad track meet was run
off Saturday. Because of the
ruin, there was a small turnout,
and the truck was sloppy. Hay
ward remarked, “This is the
worst turn out I’ve1 had in 40
years."
The meet was run on the hon
or system, the field events be
ing judged by the participants,
while the running events were be
ing staged.
This was the second group of
lime trials for the Portland dual
meet Saturday. The first were
hold last Wednesday, and the fi
nals will be held tomorrow. The
frosli participated, but will not
be in the Portland dual.
All the events were in abbre
viated form, but Hayward thinks
the final time trials and the meet
will be run full distance.
Don Wilson, sophomore, was
the high scorer of the meet,
taking firsts in the three-quar
ter mile and the tjtiO. Boh Simp
son, hurdler and sprinter, was
not there, nor was Dick Shel
ton, who runs the <»<><). Homer
Thomas, ^pov* vauiter, didn’t
show lip, and the other vault
er, Owen Day, did not jump.
Hurdler Ralph Kramer was
unable to compete because of
a leg injury he acquired in
Thursday’s workout.
The squad was bolstered Mon
day by the appearance of Ray
Dickson. He lias arranged his
schedule so he can be out every
day. A lab on Tuesday and
Thursday had barred him from
track, but he has arranged it so
lie can be out every day, even
though not always with the
nquad. He is a letterman in the
broad jump and hurdles.

The Duck varsity grid squad resumed activity last night after a

In preparation for the Oregon
State relays April 18, the fresh
man track squad, under the tu
telage of Bob McKinney, went
through a strenuous workout
Monday, and was divided into
classes.
The frosh will run the same
day as the varsity, and prelim
inary tryouts are tentative for
next week, McKinney an

thoroughly organized as yet,
and a crude attempt was made
Monday.
In the sprints, which include
the 100 and 220 yard dashes,
there are Still and Lawrence who
won first and second respective

practices to go ahead faster in

only three teams to learn assign

seem to roll along smoother.
Last night's turnout opened
with a rough warmup to toughen
up muscles that had been idle
for three days. Stretching, chick
walking, rolling, and all the ex

and muscles were involved in the
warm up.

Winner Hurls 3-Hit
Ball; Kirsch Clubs
By LEE FLATBERG
Sports Editor, Daily Emerald
Oregon’s '42 baseball edition came to life in the late in*,
nings yesterday on Howe field, unleashed its war clubs, and
sent Linfield’s Wildcats staggering home on the short end
of a 13 to 2 score. The Webfoots move to Pacific tomorrow
to play the Badger nine.
It was a great day for the Duck pitching staff, long the
brunt of skeptics, as it bowed
gracefully, thumbed its nose at
the skeptics, and set the Linfield
nine down with four scattered
hits. A1 Wimer took care of the
pitching scores for eight full
frames and limited the Linfield
boys to three measly hits. Ore
gon's ever-present sluggers took
over from here, blasted out 10
hits and a “baker's dozen” worth
of runs.
Kirsch Heads Parade
Don Kirsch was the big gun
in the Oregon barrage. He laced
out three singles and a triple in
six trips to the plate. He plas
tered another far out into left
field but a fielder got his glove
on it and while Kirsch got four
bags on the swat, it went as an
error.
The game bore some sem
blance to a contest for five inn
ings. Jim Partlow, Linfield
pitcher, had the Ducks fairly
well in hand up to the fifth with
four runs while his teammates
had collected one. Wimer, serv
ing up a slow, but very tricky
southpaw slant, had the situa
tion well in hand for Oregon.
Things erupted in the bot
tom half of the sixth. Kirsch
banged his “error” home run
for number one. Dick Whitman
reached first on an error, stole
second, moved to third on John
Bubalo’s single. Then Partlow
balked and Whitman scored and
Boob moved to third; to score a
second later when Linfield’s
catcher dropped an infield fly.
Oregon kept right on in the
seventh. Bill McKevitt and Kirsch
singled in order. Linfield’s left
fielder lost Whitman’s drive in
the sun and two more runs fil
tered across. The third baseman

booted one to let Whitman score
number three of the inning.
McKevitt Walks
To put a clincher on the affair
the Ducks pushed three more
across in the eighth. McKevitt got
life on a walk, was sacrificed
down by Filip’s bunt and came
home on Kirsch’s fourth hit. Ike
Brown, in for Hamel, socked a
single to center, and Whitman"^”
walked’. A long fly out by Bubalo
brought Kirsch across and a
screaming single by Bill Carney
seconds later brought Brown in
with the final tally.
The Wildcats got their first
score in the fourth without ben
efit of a hit. An error, a past
ball, and a sacrifice added up
to a score. They added the final
one in the seventh with an er
ror and a long triple by
O'Meara.
Oregon got two in the first
on an error, a wajk, and a dou
ble by Carney. Two more came^
in the fourth on Kirsch’s single,
a walk, and a long single by
Boob.

i Susie Mermaids Ready S
1 To Swim Sherry Ross I
The Susan Campbell swimming
team were accused by the Sherry
Ross mermen of trying to “welch"
on their swimming meet this com
ing Thursday night, and Susie
girls arose to a woman behind
their mermaids to declare that
they would be there to uphold
the honor of the female sex in the
pool. The meet, therefore, will be
held Thursday evening at 5 p.m.
in the Gerlinger pool. Both girls
and fellows are invited to attend.
From Johnny Kahananui to
F. Miles (MJO) Mayfield to
even Joe (J. Spencer) Miller
the Uossnnn are ready. They’ve
been working out lately in some
of the local tanks—Saturday
night a big- time trial was held
at the Stone-Hut. Bud Salinar
do looked great. He should be
a sensation in the diving events.
Franklin uinn, former San
Francisco swim are, is all set
for the 40-yard breast stroke.
Betty Joe Daniels may be re
cruited to swim against him.
Bob Simmons will be counted
on to take points in the crawl
events for the Miller mermen.
Yes, Sherry Ross is ready (as
they ever will be).
Susie Favored
Susie Campbell has its cham
pionship team of last term intact*""
and will probably go into the
meet 2 to 1 favorites. Margaret
Lesher will definitely be on hand
to attempt to crack her own ''
COAST records in the crawl and
and backstroke. Pat Carson is
the usual tower of strength in
the relay and distance events and
will be ably abetted by Barbara
Taylor.
Captain Jeanette (don’t men
tion my name) Neilson will per
form from the LOW diving board,
and the competition between her
and Barfin' Bud Salinardo is ex
pected to make it the finest event
of the evening. All in all, the en
tire meet shapes up to be a close
affair, although the Susie aqua
tournament competition.
After the meet, to prove that
there is no hard feelings, both
squads will eat their dinner to
gether, and hold an old-fashioned
clam-bake.
