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. Postponed games
will be made up sometime during
the week.
Next week's schedule: Monday,
April 17, Campbell Co-op vs. Ham
ilton Leaders (field 1); Steiwer
Boomers vs. Boyds (field 2).

Co-op vs. Boyds (field 2); Hamil

Good Business:

Students find that it is “good business'*
to maintain bank accounts . . . and that
this is a good place to do it.
