Hang out the black cur tains, apd He’ll all -wear our favorite mourning clothes. Our Darling Ducks, yesterday leading the Northern Division base ball race, today have been shunted to a meager second place spot in a dying sun. * muse luwiy, oniy-rwice-victor ious-previously Washington State Cougars handed Howard Hobson his stiffest jolt since the date of income tax filings yesterday. Un der a barrage of basehits and mishaps, the fourth place Cou-. gars trampled Hobby's gang of baseballers, 14-5! That’s the sad story that shot over the wires from Pullman, Washington, last night.

State . 3 8 .272 Idaho 0 9 ,WH> Number One The upset-of-upsets marked the initial game in Oregon’s current Inland Empire junket. It was a sad way to start the victory ball rolling. Easy prey for the heralded hit and run men the varsity fielded on its own Eugene stamping grounds, the down-trodden Cou gars rose up like an underground system to bat the daylights out of the high-riding green-and gold men. The score indicates the whole story. And behind that story rings out Hie dismal follow-up of the mis erable affair. Oregon State, snit iing on the tail and trail of the Duck horsehitle association, quiet ly slipped into the driver’s reins of the Northern Division scram ble. OSC boasted of a 10-win, two loss record. That was good enough for second place before yesterday afternoon. Arid Oregon, with a 7-1 slate, was already inhaling the delightful aroma of a second con secutive championship. Rocky Trail Now the never-never trail is more rocky than ever before. More trouble lurks ahead behind every nook and cranny on the danger ous Inland Empire trail. There will be a chance for Ore gon revenge today, when the Cou gars and Ducks again take the Pullman field for the fourth and final set-to between the two clubs for the year. Oregon leads 2-1 in the series, but oh, oh, that 14-5 score hurts! For even if the surprised Ducks stage a victory parade today, they will still play second fiddle to the Corvallis Beavers in the loop standings tomorrow. Such is life. And baseball. And the war. Buy some bonds. Buy some new courage ^nd determin tion. The Spring campaign is not yet over, and as long as the all vet infteld, and John Bubalo, and the host of others that don the green-and-gold uniforms keep on driving, you can tell Aunt Mar tha that your baseball club is the finest. !M Aien Get Go Signal Throwing' a left-handed monkey wrench in the middle of yester day's intramural softball sched ule, the Weather Man whistled to himself and slowly went his way. Only a pair of horseliide affairs Hero boohed for the afternoon, but they were blue chip specials. The titanic tiffs wore cancelled and postponed. Late last night Bunny Potts, intramural baseball manager re layed the news that the all-impor tant diamond affairs would be on the docket today, hit and run ac tion mechanizing' at 4 p.m. Tilts Today Given the frown yesterday, four teams will square off in the finals of their respective leagues. In the first fray, the Kappa Sig ma crew bumps into a well-bal anced Sig Ep squad. In game number two, two of the stronger clubs in the entire softball scramble, ATO and Sig ma Nil trade punches. The latter two outfits have al ready met, the Sigma Nus capi talizing on a rare streak of wild ness on the part of Tau twirler Ken Hume. Hume Goes Again In his last start two days ago Intramural Softball Schedule Thursday, May (i 4 O’clock field 3—Kappa Sigma vs. Sig Kps f ield 2—ATO vs. Sigma Nil against the Alpha Sigma hall combine, Hume regained his misplaced form, and should be ready for the Sigma Nu lads who roared around the bases on his charity passes previously.

This will be the first dual meet of the season for the Orangemen who whipped Ore gon. 6 to 2, in the annual relays two weeks ago. The Beavers showed unexpect ed strength in the Duck relays and may give Washington a real battle. Oregon’s upset victory over the Huskies at Seattle last Saturday also raised the Orange hopes for a win. However, Hoc Rdmundson's men probably will he favorites when the time for the meet rolls around. Local fans are predicting the jest race of the day will be the ISO which will pit Gene Swanzey, Washington captain and defend ing Pacific Coast conference champion in this event, against Oregon State's Bill Shinn and Stu Norene. Shinn is a junior letter man who was outstanding as a sophomore last spring while Nn rene is a sophomore up from last year's Rook squad. These men are capable of giving Swanzey a real race. Duet Rages Chiei threat of the Beavers is Captain Don Findlay, Pacific Coast Conference broad jumping' champion. Last year Findlay won the broad jump and the high jun(A in the Washington meet and is a good bet to repeat this Saturday. He is also Swan’s best sprinter and may run the 100-yard dash (Please turn to page five) 1'iVh ami other sea foods are the ideal meat substitute and they give you needed proteins.
