uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii: By FRED TREADGOLD It was billed as a baseball game. But for the 100-odd in trigued spectators who toddled up to Howe field yesterday, it was more of a hitting practice for Oregon and a parade of the squad roster rolled into one. The score was 18 to 4 with the Ducks pummelling Camp Adair’s 383rd Infantry unit all over the apple orchard as they By 1511.1. DYER 15ig scores, lithe scores, tight games, wild sanies. Ions games and short were the tiling' in yes terday’s softball action as the tourney went into its second round with 12 teams seeing ac tion. Results: Theta Chi 10, Canard club 5 in a wild hitting' contest; Sigma Chi G, Beta Theta Pi 7 in a close game; Kirkwood Co-op 6. Omega Gamma hall 7, another tight battle; Pi Kappa Alpha 3. and SAE 24, nuff sed: Kappa Sigma 11, Delta Tan Delta S, in a long overtime till; and ATO G to Sherry Ross’ 1 as Hume al lowed only 2 hits. Davis was Mr. Big as Theta Chi walloped the Canard club. He allowed the clubbers only five hits and five runs while his mates were clubbing the Canard hllrl er for 16 counters. In a big fifth inning, the Theta Chi tosseis crossed the plate six times while the fourth frame saw them score four runs. Bunny Potts wielded a big' stick as he clouted a homer and scored three important runs. Hodgins, Martin, Childs and Kel ly all got 2 for 1 to lead the vic tors to their first victory. For Canard, Bristol, Nelson, and Savelich played stellar but fu tile ball. Sigma Clu Lose The Sigma Chi-Beta tilt was a close one with the Betas finally winning out by one run. The third inning was Sigma Chi's Wa terloo as the Betas jumped on the opposing hinder for five runs and the winning margin. In the fourth, the Betas continued the si oring pushing over two more. Sidesinger, Miller and Beard were instrumental in the Betas’ win while Bradshaw of Sigma Chi clouted 3 for 3 to lead his team’s attack. Not until the final frame was tlic winner of the Omega Gamma hall. Kirkwood co-op contest de cided. Omega Gamma went into the fourth inning tied at five all. Then with a brace of hits they shoved over two runs that meant the game. Kirkwood came back to score one tally but their bid fell short by one run. Linse of the Omega Gamma squad and Jones of Kirkwood were locked in a tight duel and it' was broken up only in the final frame. For the hall boys, George, Capps, and Roberts each knocked out 2 for 3 while Bruntou. Ordway and Jones countered runs for the Co-op group.

Roblin was the Pi Kap’s start ing ehueker but was blasted out early in the contest. Jim Evers of SAE hurled steady ball as he allowed a half a dozen bingles and only three runs.

Although some of the matches have already been played off, those remaining must be finished by this Saturday, the 3 Till. The person in the top brack et is responsible for making the appointment and since the tele phone numbers are on the sched ule chart, it is hoped that every participant will make an effort to contact her opponent before the deadline. This is a short season and rig id rules will be in effect in order to carry out the tournament plans successfully. Those failing to play matches will be eliminat ed completely from the tourna ment.

It also gave Hobby a chance to field his entire roster at some time or another, seven teen athletes seeing- duty as the Oregon batters slugged three Soldier chuckers into submission —and 17 hits. It was a seorekeeper’s night mare and a coach’s pa.raaise as the powerful green and yellow stickers connected again and but again in a tilt that lost its close ness in the third round when the Ducks boomed over five scores to start out their glorious spree. Three Hitters Biggest of the big' Duck buff ers were Eob Caviness, Art Mur phy, and Don Kirsch. Caviness batted in three runs with fero cious liners to right, while smooth-fielding, strong - armed Murphy slapped out three - for - three. Kirscli, replacing John Gitzen, reserve second sacker in the fifth frame, hammered out a couple of blows in typical Kirsch fashion. Hal Saltzman, the big frosh righthander from Lincoln prep in Portland, was Hobby’s start ing choice and the huge fellow did okeh for himself. During his five inning stint he gave up just one blow and whiffed no less than six hapless Soldier boys. Then Suds Sutherland, taller and more angular than Saltzman, took over, performing quite cred itably for two rounds, though the khaki-kids did push over two scores on one run. Kuhl Heaves Fred Kuhl, a young righthander from last year's frost outfit, re placed Sutherland in the eighth and dished up one safety. One un earned run came in an an error by Fieserve Leftfielder Bill Shade. Other than that Kuhl kept things well in hand. « Nick (Bugs) Begleries, Ore gon’s top flinger, toiled the last frame just to keep in practice, but was pretty wild—though speedy. His own error, an infield out and a single collaborated to produce the final Camp Adair score. The Ducks registered five in (he third on successive walks to Koch and Burns, hits by Mur phy and Carlson and an error by Barnacle, 383rd’s second saeker. One unearned tally came in the fourth when Koch walked again, leached second when Third Base man Hoag hobbled things and then came across on a muff by Catcher Ferrett. Completely overshadowing this tiny one run stuff was another of those big “booms” in the fifth when safeties by Murphy, Kirsch, Caviness, Pinch-hitter Santee, Koch, and Hamel's two-ply swat, plus Farrow's fielder's choice, contributed four more to Oregon's cause. A single score in the sixth, four more in the seventh, with Shade’s triple to right being the pay-off blow. SERGEANT HANK . . . . . . Greenberg;, former clouting star for the Detroit Tigers, \vi "* was worth $40,000 before goin into the army, now is teachln baseball, not playing' it. The scoreboard groaned, and the soldier’s t-hird chucker moan ed in the eighth when the vicious Oregonians whammed out four base hits for three more runs. But the game had run its course, for which the Corvallis military men were glad, and the ruthless Ducks laid aside their pulverizing artillery for a few hours. Today they run up against the not-so-f earful Camp Adair plat oon again, this time at Corvallis. Maybe the Soldiers will be tough er in their own environment. Box score: Camp Adair— Barnacle, 2b ...
