Duck Cinder Tryouts Held by Colonel Bill WHh Oregon State relays slated for Saturday, Oregon’s varsity and frosh track squads staged tryouts for the meet last Saturday. No times were given. The only events that Hayward announced the times on was the comparison of the frosh and varsity sprinters. In the 110 yard dash, Zenie Butler was the leading varsity man with : 11.8, while Wally Still led the frosh with : 1 1.1. The outcome of the trials has much to do with the participants of the relays, Hayward an nounced. He stated further, “That’s all I've got to work on. I have to change them around.’’ Shelton Shows I'p Dick Shelton, a dark horse so far in the season, who decided to change from the middle distance events to the javelin, was the surprise of the day when he easi ily won the 140. He had almost given up the running events for the javelin because he felt he could do better with the willow than he had been doing in the running events. Hayward made no announce ment as to whether there would he other trials before the meet, but Hob McKinney said there would possibly be for the fresh men.

OSC Grabs Loop Opener, At Corvallis By FRED TKEADGOLD It’s no disgrace to lose ’em that way. When two chuckers, both in fine fettle, hook up in a pitching duel, the score is bound to be close and it’s usually the breaks that swing the title of victory. Well, that’s what happened when the Ducks and Beavers be latedly opened the 1942 confer ence season Saturday at Cor vallis. The breaks came Orlgon State’s way and the Orangemen capitalized on them to chalk up their first victory and put the Ducks behind the well-known eight-ball at the season’s outset. The score: 2 to 1, and was just as close as it sounds. Southpaw Glenn Elliott, the studious - looking bespectacled OSC ace, was really in top form and extremely stingy with his hits. He dished out just seven safe ties, same number that Nick Begleries allowed the Beavers, but was a trifle more exacting in the manner of spacing them so they would have the least effect. Little Nick winged them in nicely, but made a couple of mistakes which cost him the game. No. i faux pas was in putting a fat one over to Norm Peters, the left fielding behe moth, in the sixth, with a man on base. Don Strode, heavy-sticking sophomore first sacker, had start ed things by smashing to right. The fearful Mr. Peters worked Begleries into throwing one down the alley. Mr. Peters didn’t take a second look at the toss as it came winging in from Nick’s hand. He connected solidly anf only nice playing of the ball by Bill Carney as it ricocheted off the left field wall held Peters to a double. Strode meanwhile had loped across with the first score of the game. Begleries Clamps Down The small Duck righthander then applied the clamps, but the Orangemen were still with a 1 to 0 advantage. Bob Farrow, galloping Oregon shortstop, tried to give impetus to a rally in the seventh, without success. He got hold of one of Elliott’s left hooks to send the horsehide screaming to left cen ter, pulling up at third for the, longest hit of the game. Elliott soon squelched this rally, by whiffing Bill Hamel and Ted Pilip in order. A last desperate ninth-in ning “putsch” was sponsored by the Ducks and they did suc ceed in tying up matters. Bill Carned reached first on a weird infield single. It was a tap down the third base line. Heine men came in fast, got hold of the ball, but slipped on the moist turf and was unable to get his throw away. Johnny Bubalo sacrificed Car ney to second, from where the handy Mr. Farrow drove him in with a single dumped to right field. That ended the rally, as the next two batters grounded out. The obnoxious giant Peters again had a finger in the pie, go ing into the final half of the ninth. He drew a walk. wras advanced to (Please turn to page six)
