invaders Tripped For Second Time By FRED BECKWITH The Oregon Victory Express arrived on schedule yester day afternoon. The Ducks’ brilliant locomotive, old "43, pass ed in and out of the Howe Field junction, not losing a minute in the vital business at hand, which was the central idea of de feating the Washington State baseball club. Chief Engineer Hal Saltzman aided by Brakemen Bob Far row and John Bubalo, sidetracked the flying Cougar Express, me tinai count neing t>-^, m ravor of the Howard Hobson Company men. The win deadlocks the Ducks with the second place Beavers from Oregon State, both clubs having' won live games, while dropping' one. Things perked up as early as the first inning of the affair. Car rot-headed Bill Hamel drew a pass hut was forced by Dick Burns at second. Don Kirsch, the keystone kid, fanned, and up to the plate strode mighty, always danger- , ous, John Bubalo. “Boob” Smacks Homer On the mound for the visitors was bespectacled Ward Hockey, freshman hurler from Olympia. Hockey on a two-and-two count, shot an outside fast ball at "The Boob.” John smacked his lips and brought the yellow lumber off his shoulder with a resounding' whack. Seconds later, the WSC left fielder and center garden man were giving a fruitless chase to the pill which landed in the deep expanse of left field. By the time .1 ieftfielder Dan had retrieved the pellet, Burns and Bubalo had scampered across the rubber and the Ducks had a two run lead. Freshman Saltzman gifted wills a pair of runs look the hill for file second frame, and ran into a storm of enemy baseliits, four of them, fo lie exact. Aries and Kramer singled, llau foul ed out, and Catcher Cranston lined a safety into left. Aries scored on the blow, and the Cougars trailed by a run.

The statistics arc of an even-Stephen nature. Both freshman twirlers permitted tight blows, Saltzman scattering his allotment more evenly over the nine-inning route. Kotli hurlers walked three men. and fanned six. Teams Error There were four bobbles in the game, two apiece tor the nines. “Swede" Carlson missed a pop up early in the contest, and Far row was guilty of a wild heave to first later on in the fray. See < nd Sticker Davison was guilty of both the Cougar miscues. ’Ilitv two prettiest plays ot the afternoon were executed in the following manner: Bergman got hold of an outside pitch and smashed out a line drive, ap parently ticketed for the outer gardens.

At the slightest opportunity, the per son in the upper bracket on the eliminations chart should call her opponent and make a date for the match. This Saturday marks the termination of the second week of tournament play in which all matches of the first group should have been played. The second group should have been completed, but the rain has halted any advance in this part of the tournament play. “Singles matches' from the first group should be played,” stated Phyllis Root in a meeting concerning the WAA sports to ua v Following is a list of girls that should play their matches before Saturday, weather permitting'.

This group of cx-major leaguers includes, from left to right, Sam Chapman, Bob Feller, Fredi.r Hutchinson and Are Parker. Girls softball is in full swing'. Last Tuesday afternoon the Alpha (lamina Deltas were left behind for the second time this season when Hilyard scored a victory of 35-3 in two innings. No special credit is given to the Hilyard ten who were not playing an especially good game. It was a lack of efficient defensive play on the part of the Gamma Sports Staff: Fred Treadgold, Fred Beckwith, Co-Sports Editors Roilie Gabel Don Lonie Bill Dyer George Skorney Phyllis Lloyd Deltas that gave them the game. Perhaps we might put some blame on the muddy field. Tommy, pitcher for the Hilyard team, al most slid into home just pitching the ball. Bonnie Umphlette, Gam ma Delta lass, swung' with all her might at a swift pitch and ended up sitting in the mud at home plate. And that's the way it was. Even the umpire, Miss Martin, walked away spattered with mud. Gamma Phis were supposed to have a game Tuesday, too, but they failed to come, so Highland was handed an easy victory. “Why have some of the teams defaulted? Is it the damp field? The other teams have come out and enjoyed playing. They say its been fun. Not only does it show poor spirit on the part of the or ganization, but it is a lack of con sideration for the opposing team to fail to show up for a scheduled game,” said" Josie Keginato, soft hall managers Alpha Chi Omegas battled with the Hendricks Hall club Wednes day night. Both teams were fair ly evenjv matched. The place on the mound was changed frequent ly.

It was a constant fight for runs, but the Hall girls inched ahead in the first inning and knocked down a score of 7-0. After four more innings, the score was 13-0. Hendricks Hall. It was even muddier, a couple of inches on top of Tuesday’s coat ing, and the Alpha Chi O seemed to pick the muddy spots and their luck mired deeper. Barbara Car ter, catcher, did a neat job, along with other members of the team which includes such notables as Nelda Kohrback, Jean Briggs, and A NEW RACKET... . . .

Hendricks' manager, Evelyn Marshall, has coached the team to fine plays. They must have been practicing on the slippery dia mond for they seemed more adept at keeping off the muddy ground. It rained off and on during- the game but the softball players continued bravely. The house managers are urge^ to check the games they are scheduled to play. It is up to them to have their softball tens on the field at 4:30 o'clock on the sche duled day.
