L p to yesterday, percentage points kept Hobson's hit-and run men in first place in the Northern Division baseball race. Oregon State, sweeping a pair of games with the hapless Ida ho Vandals, moved yet closer to the league-leading Ducks. ()!\k,(iOX had a seven win-one loss record, contrasting a 10-2 bill of fare for the Beavers. The green-and-gold mittinen were slated to face an array,-riddled Washington State squad yester Tiy at Pullman. With Chuckers BeglerieS, Saltzman, Lokan ^^pd Captain John Bubalo ready for mound duty, the Webfoots will Ire ready to combat the hitting camps of the Inland Etn pire.jaunt. Spider Checks Out Ray Dickson’s marine corps induction robs Bill Hayward's spikesters of approximately eleven points in their forthcoming track and field dual meets. Although Dickson will compete against Washington State here Saturday, he will enter only one e.v;enti,_the broad jump, according to .plans he released yes terday.--He:-«hottM^capture- that event. But what of the high and low'bardfcar-aeesB-In-just those two events, Washington piled up big points last Saturday. Conceding that Dickson had a bad break in the timber topping affairs at Washington, the hurdle problem is becoiping even more acute. Should broad jumpers Skiles Hoffman and Don Shana han continue to improve, Oregon will be well represent ed in that event. The journalism department receives college papers from all over the country. We wish that some of our readers would £op down some time and compare Oregon’s Daily Emerald with some of the other collegiate journals throughout the land, y;- « Originality? One of the colleges on our exchange list is the University of California. What struck us as extremely amusing was the fact that two months or so ago, the sports department of that paper apparently took a great liking to the name of this col umn, “Duck Tracks” and consequently changed their own sports department column to the new name of “Bear Tracks,” even going so far as to run a little drawing of a bear walking away, leaving his prints behind in the soil. Originality? Oh, yes . . . Hmmm. Guess you get in a rut when you only have a school of some 7,500 kids. Nick Begleries still leads the league in the pitching de partment, as he hasn't tasted the bitter tang of defeat yet this year. Crying Towel Dean Cromwell, coach of the USC track squad has dug up ^Es annual crying towel again. This time he goes on record maintaining that his Trojans (who haven’t lost a dual meet in past ten years) will definitely lose to California when the two schools meet on the cinder path this coming Saturday. The Trojan mentor claims that his lads will capture but one first place, fftrd that California, with only five men, could capture the meet. Cromwell has been crying “Wolf!'’ since Hector was a pup. It would serve him right if his club did lose this time. Incidentally, an old high school buddy of ours, Grover Klemmer, has been shifted from his customary 440 role on the Cal squad, to the half mile spot. He has never run this event since his enrollment at the Berkeley institution, but in high school, he set a new city' record for the course. The professional baseball picture moves along at a steady clip. After taking a minor jolting from the San Diego Padres, Portland’s own Beavers opened their Vaughn St. ballpark this week entertaining the Los An geles Angels in a week’s series of good competition. The Beavers are getting the hitting and pitching, and if their •luck holds up, they’ll finish no worse than third in the loop scramble. The Yankees pitphing staff has practically come through to a man, and the hitting is better than the pre-season eggs perts figured it would be. The National League picture has been colored by the spark ling- pitching job turned in by “Rip” Sewell, ace twirler for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who has grabbed off a record of three wins, and no losses in three trips to the mound in a scant space of ten days. Hot Doggies Portland’s dawg-racing fans will be out to lose their ship yard money, now that the Multnomah Kennel establishment has received a government okay on a full 60-day greyhound cantering- schedule. ^ Everybody lias the winning system, but the gents who still make the most money are the bookies. This space will be taken over Friday night (for Saturday morning’s edition) by the Sigma Delta Chi boys who will an nex the Emerald, lock, stock, and barrel for one night. Be sure and read their journalistic efforts this Saturday morning. Ducks, Cougars Resume Action Pullman Location Sets Up ND Fracas Bubalo May Get Mound Nod As Varsity Tour Rolls On By FRED TREADGOLD They’ve played one game al ready, those fired-up Washing ton State Cougars and our loop pacing Oregon Webfoots, and they aren’t going to stand around and bicker about second-guessing breaks that might have changed the complexion of the first tilt. No, there’s more work on hand, this afteernoon in fact, at the Pullman diamond pits. It’ll be back at each other again for these two bitter rivals with the fur expected to fly at 3 o’clock and thereafter. Boasting as good a hurling crew as in the circuit, but nev ertheless subject to sporadic qualms on occasion, Oregon’s Ducks will again rely upon their highly-touted hitting prowess to light the way along the victory path. Pace-setter chieftain for the clubbing Oregonians is Johnny Bubalo, captain - infielder - pitch er, et cetera, who has socked out a very significant .500-plus av erage in the nine conference clashes to date. Bubalo has been the only Duck to consistently wave a threat before enemy pitch ers’ eyes. Some of the other boys seem to have a bit of difficulty in staying continually on the beam. With his pitching crew defin itely having their work cut out for them. Head Sachem Hobson hopes that his starting tosser can flag the old seed past the hitters often enough to last an entire nine-inning route. Today’s nomination for the green and yellow pitching chore lies in all events with either Cap tain Bubalo or Hal Saltzman, freshman righthander, as the choice. Both Bubalo and Saltzman proved their merit in conference battles this Season. Bubalo has shown a terrifie amount of stuff of late, cleverly matching cun ning' .with a puzzling knuckler. Saltzman’s main bet is a swift fast pitch, but he can fold in a curve or slow ball just to keep Mr. Opposing Batter guessing. The Cougar chuckers might be any one of several, but arter Jack Friel, coach of the WSCeis, takes a quick glance at his roster, he will probably name Bob Scalzo, Rog Olson, Jack Radke, or Ward Rockey to toe the rubber. Probable starting lineups: Oregon Ducks WSC Cougars Hamel, 3b Burns, lb Kirsch, 2b Bubalo, p Carlson, c Farrow, ss Murphy, If Caviness, rf Koch, cf Bergman, ss Akins, cf Branigan Aries, lb Dau, If Davison, rf Cranston, c Scalzo, p Husky, Beaver Netmen Clash Washington's defending north ern division champion tennis team will invade Corvallis for a match with the strong Oregon State net club Saturday. This meet may give some indication as to which team will win the di vision championships to be held at Corvallis, May 21 and 22 a3 the Beavers and Huskies appear to have the best clubs in the league this spring. Chief threat of the Huskies is Bob Odman, number one man and playing coach. He was runner-up to Merwyn Miller for the north ern division singles championship last spring. Opposing him will be either Dick Hallock or Ivan Hat field, Orange senior aces. Others in Coach Irwin Harris’ Beaver lineup probably will be Hal Bag by, Bob Downie and Barney Osip ovich. Staters Assume (Continued from page four) instead of entering the high jump. If Veteran Bob Smith is avail able, the Huskies probably will sweep the sprints as they have two other fine sprinters in Gar retsen and Rubstello. The distance races and the hurdles appear to be about a tossup with Washing ton holding the edge especially in the two-mile and low hurdles. In the field events Oregon State should win the high jump, broad jump and pole vault while Wash ington has great strength in the shot put, discus and javelin. The Beavers’ Tex Winter shows prom ise of being the best pole vaulter in the division but will face stiff competition from Bill Nail of the Huskies. Dickson May Enter (Continued from fatjc four) vaulter, will probably be out for the Ducks Saturday. He came back from the Husky duel with a bad ankle. Ray “Spider" Dickson, a jack of all trades, will be used to full advantage against the Cougars. Coach Hayward intends to place him in the pole vault besides the hurdles—low and high—and the broad jump. With three tough vaulters Colonel Bill should sweep the Staters aside considering they have but two vaulters—Person and Klemz. These two Pullman boys could only make the 12-foot mark against the weak Idaho Vandals. A duel is shaping; up between. Chuck Beckner and A1 Akins of Washington State as to who is the most versatile of the two. Akins won the 100 and 220-yard dashes, placed second in the shot put, and was a member of the winning relay team against Ida ho. “Beck” won the 440-yard dash, placed second in the 220, and won the anchor lap of the mile relay team by outstepping Gene Swanzey. Since Hayward is allowed 22 men in the coming dual meet he may possibly put in Ray Page as a third runner in the half-mile along with Selwin Wisdom and Tom Boylen. This is Hayward’s weakest event so far. NOW HE'S "A' LIEUTENANT INI THE NAV/ AND HAS BEEN DECORATED FOR. HEROISM. FOR HIS WORK ON THE CRUISER.
