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

The win deadlocks the Ducks
with the second place Beavers

Things perked up as early as
the first inning of the affair. Car

strode mighty, always danger- ,

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

pellet, Burns and Bubalo had
scampered across the rubber and
the Ducks had a two run lead.

Aries scored on the blow, and
the Cougars trailed by a run.

Girls softball is in full swing'. Last Tuesday afternoon the Alpha

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.

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

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

aine Wilson for the Alpha Chi O
and Beverly Goetz traded off with
Lee Madden, both of Hen Hall.
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.

It was even muddier, a couple
of inches on top of Tuesday’s coat

to pick the muddy spots and their
luck mired deeper. Barbara Car

with other members of the team
which includes such notables as

Hendricks' manager, Evelyn

fine plays. They must have been
practicing on the slippery dia

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
