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.
Summary:
Varsity—
880—Won by Wilson; Skilli

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
