SAMs Spotlight I-M Softball
With Star-Studded Action
By JOE MILLER
The Sammies are the sensation of the IM softball league- They
have played !5 innings in two games, had no runs scored on them,
scored 20 runs themsulves, given up five hits in that time, made only
cue error in the field, and looked like a championship ciul> in general.
Their pitcher, Leu Unpick, has established himself as one of the top
chuckers in competition, while their entire team is well-rounded.
me jjus, aeiencung cnamps.
are also right up there. They
dumped a hustling' Fiji team and
heat the toughest opposition in
their league, the Theta Chis, 6 to
A. In Paul Wren they have with
out a doubt the fastest pitcher
in the league, and if he can con
trol his wildness they will be
mighty tough to take. Their field
ing is spotty, but they have pow
er hitters like George Dugan and
Ed Niklas to make up for possi
ble errors in the field. Bob Dry
den at third base is coming' fast.
All in all, they have a powerhouse
aggregation.
Another club that shows ter
rific potentialities is the “bogey
man" of the easaba league, the
Awful Awfuls. In Elmer Olson
they have a hurler that per
forms amazing tricks with the
grapefruit. He gave the Phi
INIs one hit, and two days lat
er he buried a no-no against
Gamma hall. In the meantime
Ills mates were backing' him up
with It runs in the Psi game
and 10 in the Gamma game.
Their hatting power lies in the
strong arms of Gerry lluestis,
Johnny Carr, and Arne Jensen.
The Sig Eps are a hell-bent
for-leather team. Their main
threat is the pitching, hitting,
and running of "Porkehops” An
drews. His basketball mate, Arch
ie “Horse" Marshilc, is a long-ball
loiter and helped the SPE bat
ting order with potency-plus.
They have a fast, hustling infield
that shows a lot of coordination.
And their base-running tactics,
sparked by Andrews, are to al
ways go for tiie extra sack. They,
along with these others, should
be the toughest in the loop.

Dampens
Ball Game*
Thwarted yesterday by “Old
Man Weather” in their attempt
to start the drive rolling; for an
other Northern division baseball
crown, Oregon’s baseball team
moves over to Corvallis this aft
ernoon where they will tangle
with the Beaver on Coleman
field at 2:30.
The two ancient rivals were
slated to battle it out amid all
the festive dressings of an opener
on Howe field yesterday but the
aforementioned gentleman stuck w
his clammy hand into the affairs
and the game was called off.
Injuries Hit Beavers
Over Beavertown way Coach
“Coley” Coleman has been moan
ing of injuries and claims he
won’t be able to field a complete
team. Vic Brown and Bill Mc
Cluskey are two of the lads he
claims won't be able to trot onto
the field when the ump yells
“play ball.”
Up Igloo way “Hobby” Hobson
brushes the “bear stories” aside
and cautions that the Beavers
will be at full strength for the
belated opener.
Eight starters for the Duck
crew seem fairly certain. Ted Pil
lip will take care of the receiv
ing duties behind the plate, John
ny Bubalo will draw the first
sack, Kirsch will take over sec
ond, Bob Farrow will handle
shortstopping duties, and Bill Ha
mel will cover the hot corner.
On the Mound
Hobby1 has not announced the
man to take over the mound du
ty but it will probably be either
Nick Begleries, Bob Rieder, or
Bubalo. In the outfield will be
Bill Carney, Dick Whitman, ai^,
Dick Burns.
Glenn Elliott, southpaw hurler,
though clouted around roughly
by the Ducks last year, will prob
ably start on the mound for the
Orangemen. Coleman has War
ren Simas or Wade Patterson in
reserve in case the Ducks may
swat Elliott's slants.
Disregarding the “bear stories”
the Beaver starting lineup should
be Strode at first, McRae at sec
ond, McCluskey at shortstop,
Heineman at third, Peters in left
field, Pederson in center, and
Weaver in right.
A survey at Stephens college.
Columbia, Mo., showed 47 per*1
cent of the 1,750 girls wanted
courses in motor mechanics.
