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. Nelson, gifted with
r three-run lead had two men re
I. >d in the final inning when the
rvd men came through with their
( iiuis. Lee Flat berg, 'guarding
the initial hassock for the win
i ■ ■ was guilty of a rare miscue
i . flmry of trouble that had the
FDX hoys a little worried. A fly
t rl' to short center field tied up
t . journalists and three of them
r-.u-ided trying to capture the
spheroid.

Webfoot Thinclads Trounce
WSC for Second Dual Win
By GEORGE SKORNEY
Way back last Saturday, the little Duck of Oregon met the
growling Cougar of Washington State here on Hayward field
for purposes of a track meet. 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’

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.

Oregon's travel worn-torn
V.'Us move back into friendly
: a roundings today upon conclu
{, ui of their week-long, arduous
northern swing into Washington
a:-,! 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.

which were in exhibition games.
But with his stellar perform

meant all or nothing for Howard
Hobson, he has moved up into
the starting ranks.
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.
