R.P. Nelson Hurls Win By “SPEC” TATER Upholding the faith of its countless supporters, the Sigma i|»elta Chi softball team scored a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Al ,.|»lha Delta Sigma crew yesterday ‘afternoon in the titanic grudge ;|nattic of the year. The journalists’ win, convinc ing as it was, came only after a tightly waged battle had kept both clubs on keen edge. Roy Paul Nelson, forgetting the ma rine corps and his grade point av er age, pitched a masterful game for the victors. For six innings due blanked the ad men, and it v,\as only in the seventh and final frame that ADS lads could regis ter on the scorebook. Early Lead The writer-athletes scored on Jim Harrison in the second inn i> g as Joe Miller opened the stan za with a clean bingle to the left gardens. Moving up on a couple of pilfered bases, “Nothing Sa cred” scooted across the plate f. rally as the ADS catcher dropped a Harrison peg on a strike. It was 1-0 for the balance of the contest, and it wasn’t un til the bottom half of the sixth that the SDX latls got around to producing’ two more runs. With men on second and third, Fred Kuhl lashed' out with an in ti.d i drive and a wild peg to first permitted two runs to spill over tt • platter.

When the smoke of battle had cleared away, the still little Duck had harnessed the now grov eling Cougar by the score of 80V2—501 ■_> for his second dual meet victory of the season. The feature events of the day, the high and low hurdles, were big upsets. Captain Pat Haley, favored as the winner was nosed out in both by Oregon runners. Ralph Kramer edged out the Cougar trackster in the 120-yard high sticks in the short sprint before the tape. Haley Loses In the low hurdles Ray Dick son, who was running second, be came tiie winner when Haley's foot caught the last hurdle and sent him spinning to the ground. Oregon’s mile ace had a bad time losing his specialty by a few steps at the finish line. His poor showing' may be account ed for by the fact that he had just been released from the in firmary two days before. For the Cougars A'l Akins and Res Liebel proved a vicious threat whenever in action. Akins, four-sport man, won both of the dashes from Browning Allen against a fierce headwind. The century was timed in : 10.2 while the 220 was marked down at :23.5. Liebel Wins Two Liebel took the mile from Wil son in the slow time of 4:37.8. In the gruelling two-mile trot, he showed a last second spurt and out-distanced his teammate Smith. Chuck “Beeck" Beckner did a big chore for the Webfoots by winning' the 440-yard dash in :50.ii, placing third in the 220, and winning the anchor lap of the mile relay. In the relay Colonel Bill start ed Stan Ray who piled up a four yard lead for Bob Simpson. Simp son continued the fiery speed giv ing the wand to Selwin Wisdom. The lanky ' Wisdom was pitted against muscular Akins. The ougar made up the difference be sides piling on three yards for Beckner to make up. Becknei’ (Please turn to page six) Oregon’s Ducks went into tie for first place Tuesday when they clouted the Washington Huskies 13 to 4 in Seattle for their fourth victor-- a row after losing two tough ones to the cellar-dwelling - gars. Whitey Lokan handled the mound duties for the Webfoots and chalked up his first victory of the season. ^ Art Murphy, left fielder and part-time hurler, led the atta$ for Oregon by scoring four of the 13 runs. Big “Jawn” Bubalo and Roy Carlson counted for two each, while Burns, Hamel, Far row, Koch, and Lokan scored one each. The Huskies’ frequent miscues and poor fielding more than helped' the Wehfoots in their lop sided victory. Pitching Weak The U of W pitchers Zech and Crockett were in hot water dur ing- the entire route. Both could manage but one strikeout apiece during the fray. Anderson took care of the backstop duties for the Seattle club. 'The barrel-chested Murphy wielded a heavy stick for How ard Hobson as did Bill Taylor, flashy first baseman for the Huskies. Each man knocked out a double among iheir hits for the day. While Washington’s pitch ing was poor, Oregon’s was en tirely different. Lokan struck out five men in his first start of the season. Up to this Whitey has been confined to a few minor relief jobs most of Sigma Delta Psi track com petition will be held today from 3 to 5 p.m. Spectators are urged to attend the affair.

Idaho, draw up an inviting < hair, and plunk themselves into i>: for a brief, but richly deserved rest. It's been tough going on that t-lrenuous six-game jaunt, but the Ducks weathered it in fair enough style to still rate very mueli in this vicious two-team race for the title. Oregon State's buoyant, surprising' Beavers now stand as the outfit to nuz zle out and are all that remain in the way of the Ducks to their fourth loop flag in five years is said Mr. Beaver. 'Twill be no picnic when these two arch-enemies cross bats Sat urday at Corvallis and Monday here. There is no love lost be tween these "buddies" and the tilings that hang in balance with this tilt (the league champion ship ) whet the games as just that much mere important. So far the series stands at one game apiece. The Ducks chas tized the buckling Orangemen in tl'.e season's opener, IS to 4. with such ferocity that Coach Ralph Coleman spent the better part of the evening after the tilt, picking up torn Beaver pelt. Sticking the ratted Beaver together with string and glue Coleman sent them out the next day in a return tilt. Cashing in on some adverse Oregon breaks and reaping a harvest on Duck errors, the OSC guys fame out on top in one of the big surprises of the year.

Ducks Win Four Of the six games on the road trip, the Webfoots W'on four. The two losses came at the hands of a rejuvenated Cougar club which outslugged the Oregon team both of the two games. One co test was lost by the stupendous score of 13 to 2. Against Idaho the Ducks re covered and took the Vandals for two wins. Traveling to Seattle they continued their winning streak by shutting out the Huskies Monday, 4 to 0. Begl'eries handled the mound, allowing six scattered hits while the Webfeot batsmen pounded Doug Ford and his fast ball for nine bingles. Begleries hurled his first road trip game with fractured jaw. This was the result of a line drive off the hat of A1 Akins in the first Cougar game. Tie for First Now that Oregon is in first place with a tie with the Beavers, they will have but two mo^T games to play. One is on Satui?> day in Corvallis with Oregon State and the second' and last is with the Beavers here in Eugene on the following Monday. Should the two game series be split the two club will go into a playoff. The winner of the two games will inherit the title. n e t O'a, ' *1M > •‘•"-V ^ s w? ror Men and Women To give, to own—nothing finer than these extra-heavy sterling silver bracelets with sturdy chains Jeweler crafted, plain, or with insignia ^ Insignia is die-struck sterling, per 1 manently attached | Give one to the man | or woman in service.
