Bubalo Sets
Loop Afire
Olive skinned John Bubalo is
.setting the Northern Division
baseball race cn fire with his phe
nomenal hitting. To date he has
j>ai ticipated in four, league
games, has gone plateward some
IG times, and has rapped out 1'J
base hits.
Added up, Captain Bubalo is
bolting tlie onion at a merry .750
clip, a percentage total falling al
most in the unbelievable class. In
other words, tie lias collected an
average of three safeties per
game, and that spells clouting
ability in any league.
He started off the season by
slamming seven blows out of his
initial seven trips to the dish. He
had a field day, five-for-five in
the first clash with the Oregon
Staters.
Besides guarding first base,
John is capable of performing on
the mound. In his only hurling
assignment this year to date, he
was the victim of a tenth inning
uprising by the Oregon State
IBeavers, losing, 4-3. His team
mates committed five bobbles in
that fray, however.
Sliouid lie continue to sWnt (lie
spheroid in this sensational man
ner, Bubalo will lie as cold a
finch to waltz away with the
league batting crown as a mon
Key is in the act of eating a ba
nana thrown its direction.

Kinging tile hell for their sec
ond deeisive will, the Delta Upsi
lon softhallists, led the way in
the second week of intramural
play which also saw the Sig Kps
continue their winning streak
and the Pi Haps how to a strong
Delta Tan Delta squad, 11 to SJ.
Delta Upsilon sunk the Phi
Kappa Psi crew by a 7 to 1 score
as Bob Wren turned in a fine
hurling- performance to lead his
team to the top spot of the
league. Showing plenty of stuff
and complete control at all times,
Wren let down the Phi Psi boys
with a stingy two hits and one
run. The losers pushed across
their only tally in the fourth
frame when they bunched their
only hits and sent Bergstrom
across the plate for their one and
only hid.
Can of Corn
Scoring two runs in the first,
three in the third and the last
pair in the fifth, the DUs had
things always under control.
With Don Jones leading the at
tack they jumped on Klement,
Phi Psi 'chucker for a dozen hits
and seven tallies. Wren aided his
own cause with a pair of doubles
and two runs. Christenson and
Mann also wielded big bats to
give the DU boys the triumph.
For Phi Psi, Bergstrom, who got
the only run, Lamb, the only oth
er hitter. Drew, Frisbie, and
Stone all helped spark a futile
drive.
Another Shutout
Mervin Borthick of the Sigma
Phi Epsilon team continued on his
winning way as he hurled his
fourth win in downing Omega
Gamma hall, 11 to 0. In fine form,
Borthick gave up but six hits
while whiffing eight opponents.
Meanwhile his mates were
pounding the piir for a barrage
of base hits and scoring at will
to pile up the win. So far the Sig
Eps are undefeated in league play
and they look to repeat the fine
performance of last year’s team.
Henderson was the big gun of
yesterday’s attack, blasting out
three hits, including a homer,

With the coming' of blue skies,
t ouch John Warren and his “get
into condition,” or “they beat the
navy to the blow” boys resumed
a much dampened and weather
beaten spring football practice in
earnest this week.
All decked out in their pads,
guards, and moleskins which
were issued yesterday, the thirty
odd gridders are drilling hard,
pointing to the first of several
scrimmages scheduled for them
some time in the near future. Al
though no date for the body con
tact has been definitely set, Coach
Warren promises plenty of the old
blocking and tackling scrimmages
and in the not too distant future.
Tuning
Precision timing in running
and blocking is the present goal
of the Webfoots, as time and again
they run through their vast rep
ertoire of five plays. "Honest
John” laughed as he mentioned

As yet no word has come out

continued with plans to play

exception of Stanford.

veloped in professional baseball, sit back on the sidelines today and
watch the 19-t3 pennant race shape up.
No Cinch, But Ducks Grab
Win Over Khaki Athletes
It was a far cry from the ear
lier 18 to 4 avalanche victory
over the Camp Adair soldiers, but
Oregon’s win-conscious Ducks
nevertheless managed to add an
other triumph link in their rap
idly growing chain when they
scuttled the Corvallis infantry
men, 5 to 2, there Sunday.
In their previous meeting, the
walloping Webfoots mangled the
3S3rd Infantry outfit almost be
yond recognition. Oregon’s hit
ting was good enough to pound
out 10 blows this time, but they
had just a mite more trouble
when the doughboys threw a pro
pitcher against them.
Lt. Gordon Nelson, one-time
Sacramento coast league hurler,
went three rounds, until the Ore
gons caught on to his stuff, then
went shower-ward.
Hamel Leads Attack
Pacing the Duck blow barrage
was Bill Hamel, carrot-thatched
third sacker, who clipped the on
ion three times in his four official
trips. The indomitable Johnny
Bubalo, who traded off with
Whitey Lokan as pitcher, and
Dick Burns, outfielder-infielder,
both whacked out two for four,
a commendable .500 mark for the
day's activity.
Meanwhile Lckan, starter, and
Bubalo, reliever, kept reminding
the soldier youths that they prob
ably are effective with rifle and
bayonet than with ball bat. Only
six hits were doled out to the
3S3d, all judiciously spaced.
Oregon's scoring went thusly:
Third inning—Lokan rapped
a single, Hamel was safe on an
error of his intended sacrifice.
Burns was retired on a vital sac
rifice which advanced the run
ners to scoring position. All it
took then was a biff by Bubalo l*
rack up the first two scores. *
Fifth frame — Bubalo walked.
Frank Peterson walked, and Mur
phy sacrificed them both on one
base. A passed ball, and Bubalo
had chalked up another score.
Seventh stanza — “Johnny the
Boob” again figured prominently
in this tally. First off he pasted
one of Relief Hurler Payte’s best
“Sunday” pitches for a tremen
dous triple, and then clicked off
a run when Peterson banged out
a single.
Eighth inning—Hamel’s single
in conjunction -with a passed ball
and Dick Burns’ safety, paved the
way for Oregon’s fifth count—a
finis to Oregon run manufactur
ing for the day.
Big Fourth
Both soldier runs came in tl^
fourth when Ferrett and Hoag
singled in succession and Oregon
Outfielder Bill Skade let Hoag’s
blow slip past him.
Mentor Hobson freely shifted
his squad about, using fourteen
players before the thing was over.
Monday’s proposed contest
contest with the Camp Adair
Timber Wolves, highly touted as
one of the better service clubs on
the Pacific slopes, was postponed
and given a re-billing for Friday
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
contest will be displayed on Howe
field.
