Huskies Nip Ducks, 2-1,
With Ninth Inning Rally
Ford ‘Cuffs’ Oregon
With Seven Blows
By LEE FLATBERG
A Washington uprising- in the ninth inning yesterday on
the “Mud Flats,” spiced with an argument, garnered two big
runs for the Huskies and gave Tubby Graves and Co. a 2 to 1
win over the Ducks. The two teams will battle it out again
this afternoon at 3.
The Huskies came to bat in the top of the ninth trailing
i to u. tJociay tiuoertson, nrst up,
blasted a double to right field.
Hal Logan followed suit with a
looping single to center to send
Boddy to third.
Then the squeeze was on. Bod
dy was off with the pitch and
Dave Gordan laid a bunt down
third base line. Begleries fielded
the ball but his throw to Ted Pil
ip was high and glanced off his
glove and Boddy was safe. Logan
went to third on the play and
came steaming into the plate but
was shooed back by Spec Burke.
The Washington hoys were
off the bench immediately, led
by the colorful Graves. Words
were flung a,round. Burke stood
pat on his decision that the
runner was entitled to only one
base on the play and the Hus
kies went back to their bench.
But the Huskies weren't
through. Bob Bird banged out a
long fly to center and Logan
scored the winning run when Fil
ip missed him on the play at
home.
l)u< ks Threaten
The Ducks threatened in the
last of the ninth when pinch hit
ter Pete Peterson singled, moved
to second on Bill Hamel’s hunt,
and then scooted to third on an
infield out. Dick Whitman and
Don Kirsch grounded out to end
the threat.
Oregon picked up its lone run
in the seventh. With two down.
Hamel heat uut an infield hit
and moved to second when
Whitman walked. Then Kirsch
stepped up and calmly parked
a long single out into right
eenter to score Hamel on a
very close play at the plate.
As usual, the game had to be
played on the very gooey sur
faces of the “Mud Flats." Mud
and all, both teams came up with
some beautiful ball, with only one
error being made.
t'arney, the Uobber
Bill Carney robbed the Huskies
of two hits on long towering
drives to his pasture. He pulled
down Bird's long drive on the
dead run in the second, and then
did himself even prouder in the
fifth on a long- poke to center
field by Frank Constantino. Sput
tering Constantino coming back
to the bench muttered, "What
does a man have to do to get a
hit ?”
Oregon touched Doug' Kuril's
slants for seven hits but some
might\ nice fielding' held the
Ducks in tow. liitl) blasted out
a triple in the second but was
nipped at the plate when he
tried to score on an infield out.
The Ducks threatened again in
the eighth when liuh reached
third again, but a diving one
handed eateli by first baseman
Bill (iissherg cheeked the rally.
Null Beg'leries was touched for
nine hits but kept them scattered
till the fateful ninth. The Huskies
got two hits in the seventh and
had a man scooting in from third,
but a beautiful throw in from
center by Whitman cut off the
run.

Ducks Meet
Huskies at 3
Smarting under the sting of a
close 2 to 1 count, Oregon’s
Ducks, undaunted and deter
mined, try again today when they
cross bats with Washington's
league leaders on Howe field at
3 o'clock. Yesterday’s game was
not decided until the last of the
ninth and was a nip and tuck
embroglio all the way.
For Huskies
Tubby Graves will nominate
his starting chucker from among
the trio of Laurie Heath, brother
of Cleveland's slugging Jeff
Heath; Dick Hazel, ace curver;..
..and Bob Cummins, squat fast
baller.
Hoping to curb the boister
ous Washington bats, Hobby
Hobson uill probably choose
from between John Bubalo,
knuckle-bailer, and Nels o n
Sandgren from McMinnville.
Sandgren so far this season has
allowed no runs in eight inn
ings of relief work.
Completing the batteries will
be Frank Constantino and Ted
Pilip, of Washington and Oregon,
respectively.
