Hamel Rates Finger Wave By Bobbling Ball First i>iii ii.tmr iius ran luui mill self" a finger wave from Cur rier’s beauty salon, free for noth ing. He gets this valuable prize as a reward for making the first Oregon error in the Washing ton State series. Some of the prizes offered for the opening day are siill in the hands of the dealers, only five be ing won today. Bob Farrow had a field day for the compliments t ies, winning three today. He stole the first base for Oregon in the series that awards him a shoe rack from Keith Fennell's pharmacy; made the winning Oregon run yester day. that gives him a leather binder from the campus book store, and batted in the first Webfoot run, that allows him to get his ears lowered free of cnuige ai tnanie nanoi s nar bcr shop. Because of Farrow’s hit, Dick Burns receives a tie from Hart Larsen’s for scoring- the first Oregon run of the series. There are still two prizes re maining-. Nobody won the sport shirt from DeNeffe's for belting the first homer, and no Oregon men were hit by a pitched ball to receive a hamburger and shake dinner from Taylor’s.

K\ I KI D THUADUOIJ) W hot her the old Buok has adopted a pacifist’s attitude or lias been taking lessons in self control, wo wouldn't venture to say, hut lie appeared pretty gen teel during his two-da\ sojourn in Dockland. It wasn't the same old raucous, umpire - baiting, bucket - busting Buck Bailey. Instead it was a milder, more temperate man, who confined his antics to an occa sional outburst directed at the umpire or whistling and arm waving- gyrations to his misplaced outfielders. The water bucket wasn't even threatened. Maybe Buck had seen the container—no fragile, thin-shelled bucket— but a sturdy, iron caldron! Af ter all, lie's only human. Biggest laugh that the crowd got Wednesday was when some mischievous individual hooked a cow's tail to Buck's pants. Two innings of prancing about, with the tail waggling merrily, went by before big Buck discovered the object of everybody’s mirth. Donnie Kirsch, in most every body's opinion, would get the medal for "valiant service” ren dered. if such a thing was given. That chunky little second-sacker was all over the right side of the infield, scooping up ball after bail, making the hard ones look simple. Not a bobble in the car load, either. Mid-season form was dis played by diminutive Nick ••Bug's” Begleries, who tamed (Please turn to page five) Begleries DolesOut 3 Hits In Revenge Win By LEE FLATBERG Sports Editor, the Emerald A run with two out in the ninth ruined hopes of a shut-out for Nick Begleries yesterday on Howe field, but the chunky little righthander still reaped a bit of revenge by setting the Washington State Cougars down with three hits and on the short end of a 6 to 1 vedict. Little Nick pitched himself a beautiful ball game and even went so far as to bat in a run with a sizzling single to right. Begleries pitched himself a perfect game for five and two third’s innings. With two out in the sixth 17 men had gone down in order. Then Glen Hursey made first on an error to break the streak. NORTHERN DIVISION STANDINGS W. L. Pet.

The Cougars banged out their first hit in the seventh when Dosskey laced a liner to left. They added two more in the top of the ninth, along with a walk, to push their only run across. Oregon bunched seven hits in three different innings to ring up their six runs. The Ducks got their first run in the first inning when Dick Burns walked, moved to second on an infield out, and then scam pered home on Bob Farrow's lin er over shortstop. Webfoots Get Two The Ducks put three hits and a sacrifice together in the sixth to push two more runs across. Farrow opened the festivities with his second hit, a single to center. Ted Pilip sacrificed him down to second and he scored seconds later on Begleries’ mighty blow. Bill Hamel fol lowed up with the only extra base hit of the day, a double to center, to send Begleries scurry ing over with the second run of the inning. The hungry Webfoot bats sprayed out three more hits and the same number of runs in the seventh. Bill Carney came up with a bloody infield blow to sec ond and beat it out. Don Kirsch’s first hit. a single, sent Carney to third and Kirsch went to second on the throw in. Burns walked to fill the bases. Johnny Bubaio smacked a single to center and Carney scored but Burns was caught between second and third. Kirsch was forced off third by the play and was trapped and thrown out. With two men out and men on second and third Pilip lofted a high fly to center which the fielder fubbed and two runs trickled across the plate to fin ish Oregon’s scoring. r arrow faces Hitters Farrow was the only player to hit safely more than once, bang ing' out two singles in four trips. Hursey, Cougar pitcher was touched tor seven hits and gave up three walks. He struck out four men. Begleries struck out seven men and let up two walks. Cougars Take Road to Meet * Oregon State Washington State's powerful Cougars, weakened by the loss of Bill Sewell, ace chucker who fell before ex-G-Man Atherton's axe, move over to Corvallis today for a two-game skirmish against Oregon State. With one victory, that over Oregon, 2 to 1, last week, the Orangemen lead the loop while the Cougars are in second place with one triumph and one loss. Oregon is in third with one winy* and two setbacks. Brown Recovers Word from Corvallis has it that the Beavers are back at full strength again. Vic Brown, ace sophomore center fielder, has been confined to the infirmary for almost two weeks with the mumps. Hitting better than .400 in pre-season tilts, Brown’s re turn to the lineup, is expected to boost Ralph Coleman’s offensi-/) dynamite. Glenn Elliott, veteran south paw who tamed Oregon, will probably get the starting ca'lf while with Warren Simas or Wade Patterson, another left hander, will start tomorrow's game for the Orangemen. wsc Daggett, 2b ..
