IM Roster
Moves On
By BILL DYER
Intramural Editor
Ol Sol hid his beaming face the
last two days and as a result the
intramural softball schedule was
thrown all out of kilter with a
score of contests postponed.
The one and only consolation
is that the clubs are granted a
day of rest from a somewhat
grueling schedule. Pitchers may
rest their arms an extra day and
batters enjoy the opportunity of
sharpening up batting eyes with
a bit of slugging practice.
If and when the weather per
mits, these canceled tilts will be
made up as soon as possible in
order to finish the long drawn
out tournament, Wednesday saw
the Sigma Nu-Sherry Ross, Del
ta Upsilon-Sigma Chi, and ATO
Canard club battles given the red
light.
Bouncing back from a disas
trous first round-up set, the Sig
ma Nu powerhouse and defend
ing champs are favored to take
the crew from Sherry Ross. Del
ta Upsilon with the brilliant
chucking of Bob Wren rates the
deciding nod over Sigma Chi.
Wren has allowed only two hits
and one run in two games while
receiving fine support from the
field and at the plate. Undefeat
ed Alpha Tau Omega places over
the Canard club with the hurling
of Ken Hume sure to be a decid
ing factor. Hume has been elbow
ing the softball at a steady clip
in racking up a brace of wins.
Du and ATO are undefeated so
far in league play, while Sigma
Nil looks stronger every contest.

Thinclads Get
FinalWorkout
By GEORGE SKORXKV, Staff Writer
Colonel Bill Hayward and company have entered the final stretch
i ) their training for the coveted Oregon State relays tabbed for Sat
urday afternoon
Workouts were light Wednesday under a chilly sky. Emphasis
» as placed on form and technique. Baton passing was tried again by
the dnshmen. ,
The climax of the day's work came when lanky Selwin Wisdom
edged out Don Martin by a hair for the right of running on the two
mile relay team. Martin, who runs
with a rocking chair motion, led
Wisdom and Ray Page, third con
testant, throughout most, of the
half-mile trial.
High jumpers heard plenty, of
abuse from Colonel-Bill.in last
minute effoit to brush over style.
*l’ho squad is led by Bob Nov. laud,
the Webfoots' authority on mar
ried life, who is the only letter
man to return from last season.
Behind Newland are frosh Maur
ice Drenkle, a husky Duck with
plenty of ability, Duane Weldin,
and Bob Simpson.
Shot Men
The musclemen paced .through
a stiff workout Wednesday. 1* rom
last reports garnered through
Oregon’s track office, the M eb
foots will have Fred Foster, the
dependable letterman, Chuck El
liott, Steve Bodner, and Bob
Simpson in the shot put. Elliott
and Bodner threw one-two during
their high school careers.
Little of anything has sifted
through the airtight doors of
Oregon State’s sportdom concern
ing track strength. However Ore
gon followers express the opinion
that the Beavers are in as much
the same position featured by
Coach Hayward and his boys.
Leading1 the Orangemen will be
Don Findlay, Pacific Coast cham
pion broad jumper, who will show
his wares in the high jump and
the sprints. Assisting the versa
tile Findlay will be Len Moyer,
sprinter; Bill Waterman, 880 and
miler; and Bill Shinn, another 8S0
man. All of these men are letter
men on whom Grant Swann, State
mentor, will base all of his hopes.
The Beavers are particularly
strong, according to rumors that
pour from the Beaver domain, in
the high jump. Coach Swann will
probably field Findlay, the out
standing shin-skinner so far. Jack
Dudley, letterman in pole vault.
Bob Graf, and Gordon Alexander.
The odds are on the corn valley
boys with their edge in experience.
The program for Thursday on
Hayward field will be a final
meeting of the Oregon tracksters
with their boss Colonel Bill for
final instructions All Duck spike
sters concerned are requested to
turn out after drill.

Vou can ring the victory gong
again—the third time this year
—for courageous little Nick Beg
leries who rocked the invading
Washington State Cougar horde
back on their heels yesterday at
Howe field, 10 to 5, in their fifth
defeat of this very disastrous
campaign. The two clubs meet
again this afternoon in the sec
ond phase of the Eugene series.
Three o’clock has been set as the
time when Umpire “Spec" Burke
will bawl, “Play Ball!”
Little Nick, the diminutive
senior righthander, toiled under
a painful handicap, having
smashed the index finger of his
pitching hand in batting prac
tice. Every throw hurt, but
“Bugs” hung on gamely and sti
fled the Cougar bats (with a few
exceptions) to eight hits.
He Hits, Too
On top of that, Nick managed
to biff out a co-uple of safeties
to give the “pooh! pooh!” to
those doubting Thomases who
avidly declared that he couldn't
hit his Stetson.
Joining in with winning hurler
Begleries on defensive brilliance
was that reliable little automati
cian, Donnie Kirsch. The power
ful stubby second baser accepted
nine fielding chances without a
flaw, but his big play came in the
seventh.
WSC Left fielder Dan, a power
ful clouter who slapped out one
of three homers during the game,
caught hold of one of Begieries’
offerings. The ball had “base hit”
scrawled over its cover and was
scorching across the soggy in
field at a mile-a-minute clip.
Kirsch backed up fast toward
first base, made a magnificent
stab at the smoking spheroid, and
nipped Runner' Dar as easily
as you please. From then on any
fielding gem would have been
merely anti-climactic.
On the offensive side, and bro
ther, don't think that the Ducks
weren’t teeing off, was red-head
ed William Hamel, third base vet.
Now Bill is always a slow
starter as last year’s records will
show, but once he sets his sights,
pitcher, you’d better throw and
then duck but quickly! The third
base chatter-box had the range
yesterday, whamming out two
for five, but what really loomed
large were the FIVE runs he bat
ted in.
Hamel's pay-off blow came m
the second round to give the
Webfoots their first taste of the
scoring' goodies that await at
the home plate. Art Murphy had
just beaten out an infield blow
to second base and Pitcher “Slug
ger" Begleries had drawn a walk.
Swinging late, but powerfully,
Hamel wrapped ahold of a fast
ball thrown by Cougar Chucker
Wally Kramer. It was a screamer
to left center, and before Center
fielder A1 Akins could hoist the
ball to his mates, three runs were
across with Hamel's Oregon
brethren pounding him on the
back.
That made it 3 to 1. Washing
ton State had broken the ice in
their portion of the second as
hard-hitting Mr. Kramer, the
twirler, maced a four bagger to
left.
In the third Shortstop Berg
man was brushed across the plat
ter when Akins swatted a double
to left.
But it was tit-for-tat with the
hounding Ducks plucking off one
of their own in the bottom half
of the third. Kirsch popped a sin
gle to right, stole second, ad
vanced to third on Carlson’s fly
to right, and scored when tied
up Kramer committed a balk.
That home run craze, which
was sweeping the place, was con
cluded in the WSC part of the
fourth when Rightfielder Davi
son pungled out a four-ply swat
with Dau perched on the first
base hassock. Score all tied up,
4-4.
Jig's lTp
However, the valiant Cougar,
battling for his first win of the
year, had played his best card—
the jig was up, and Oregon in
the last of the fourth manufac
tured three runs to clinch their
fourth win in five, conference
outings.
Hamel Again
Bob t arrow got life on an error
at third and Murphy, endeavor
ing to sacrifice, made it safely
when Pitcher Kramer bungled
things up—all hands were safe.
Then the heavy-hitting Kamel
belted one to right, scoring Far
row and Murphy. Hamel tallied
a moment later on a perfectly
executed squeeze play at home in
which Dick Burns handled the
bat.
Hobby’s boys made it 8 to 4
in the fifth when Bubalo slapped
a single to left, was sacrifice
second base-ward, and came home
home on Farrow’s blow.
A walk to Murphy, a hit by
Begleries, Kirsch, and Bubalo,
and an error congealed to fash
ion two more scores for the Ore
gon bail slaughterers in the
eighth.
A belated, and futile, WSC up
rising in the ninth netted the vis
itors one score, but gave the
Ducks some worried moments. A
triple by Aries and a single by
Davison produced the score, but
the latter died a miserable death
at first when Catcher R.oy Cran
