Among her other activ ities are Gamma Alpha Chi mem (Please turn to page four) Our piide and joy—and they have brought us more grief than plea sure the Portland Beavers, seem to have changed from the old cellar inhabitants we knew to a team which may make a bid for the coast title, if coast openers are any indication. Right now the Portland team is in second place, having won three games and lost one. The L. A. Angels are in first spot with a perfect three out of three tally. Perplexing thing, though, is the way the Angels have taken the lead so early in the season. As the situation now stands the Angels are short-handed, and are apepaling to their parent team, the Chicago Cubs. But those of us who have lived in Portland, or in any part of Oregon for that matter, and have bet anything we had on the "Lucky Beavers," find it hard, if not impossible, to believe that the Beavers can end up anywhere except in the cellar. Seldom are they considered as challen gers by any other Pacific coast team. We don t expect the Beavers of Portland to win any oftener than we might expect other Beavers to win. Sometimes it happens, but if it does it catches us off guard and we have to fork over the four bits. FLASH: We were right. Portland lost to Frisco Thursday 5 to 3. University Nine PacksWallop By BARBARA STEPHENS Despite the rain which seems to have been dominating the campus, two softball games were played this week by some of the top teams on the campus. And indications are that we can really expect a close battle for the winner in the girls’ intra mural softball tournaments. University house turned out with a well-knit team to beat icist year s koiroan winners by a score of 14 to 4. The outstanding player of the day was Marianne “Blinky” Blenkinsop. Pitching for the first time in any game, she | was the most influential factor in i putting her team way out in the lead. In the first inning, she pitched three of the opposing’ teams out in order as they came to bat. She was supported by an ex cellent catcher, Lorine Flower, who was ready for every ball that came over. Not only do they have Blenkin sop and Flower, but also the fast and accurate ball handlers, Shirley Kroeger at first base and June Carnes at second base. The top hit of the day was made by Gene Mary Redmond, made out to center field for Highland house. Highland also had two top catch ers in Alice Pepion and Marie Por fily. Another strong team will be the Delta Gamma’s who beat Birch lodge 10 to 4 Monday night. One of the most exciting games of the week, it was close up until the fifth inning w'hen the Dee Gees sprung ahead of their opponents. The game was practically nar rowed down to a pitching duel with tw'o top-flight pitchers opposing each other. Helen Johns pitched an excellent game for the Dee Gees while Betty Strauss pitched an equally good game for the Birch lodge team. Another good player for Birch was their first baseman, Harriet Fozier. Another catcher of outstanding quality is Dee Gee Shirley Gray. Unfavorable weather kept the tennis games down to only a couple of matches. Melissa Snyder and Barbara Putnam showed up as the best players of the week. Melissa has a fast hard serve and good place shot. Putnam defeated Leila Telfer in a very evenly matched game. Boys’ Softball Games Begin Again Monday Bad weather kept the boys from running off their games this week but next week’s games will be run as scheduled.
