Beavers Favored Over Ducks Duck Nine Rests After Pilot Win Oregon's league - leading nine was resting yesterday before mak ing preparations to meet the inva sion of the second - place Oregon State Beavers Saturday afternoon at Howe Field. Tuesday night at Portland the Ducks made it four out of six for the season against the Portland Pilots by backing the shutout pitching of Hal' Saltz man and Dick Leiil with a 10 hit attack on Vince Pesky which was good for a 5 to 0 victory. Bob Santee had a field day off the slants of Pesky. The hard-hit ting left fielder banged out a tri ple, a double and two singles in five trips. Spike Johnson was another thorn in Pesky’s side, collecting a two run triple and a single in five times at bat. The Pilots could not solve the deliveries of Saltzman and Lehl and were held to three hits, all off Saltzman. Only in the fourth inning did the Pilots threaten. After two singles, Saltzman struck out Dick Car lascio and forced Pesky to fly out. Saltzman went seven innings and Lehl hurled the last two and re tired three of the six Pilots that faced him on strikes. Coach Hobby Hobson made one switch in his regular lineup. Jim Norvell, who has held down the third sack most of the season, moved out to center field and Walt Lozoski came in to cover the hot corner. Oregon scored its first run in the third inning when Walt Lozo ski was safe on an error, moved over to third on Santee’s double, and scored on an infield out. Four runs counted in the sev enth on singles by Walt Kirsch and Lozoski, a triple by Johnson and a pair of Portland bobbles. The game was the first played under the lights by the Ducks this season.

UNDERDOG BOSS. Colonel Bill Hayward’s University of Oregon track team will be the underdog today at Corvallis when the Ducks and Beavers tangle in the 37th dual meet. 37th Annual Track Meet On Tap Today at Corvallis By AL PIETSCHMAN The 37th annual Oregon-Oregon State track meet gets underway today in Corvallis at 3:00 p.m. The yearly “feud” meet promises to be a spectacular event and the outcome in the air until the final race, the mile relay, is completed. Coach Doc Swan of the Beavers is pessimistic about the result of the meet and is again complaining about the liabilities or ms team—a team that knocked off a powerful Idaho cinder squad Saturday. Glancing back a couple of weeks, records show that it was the same Swan who bemoaned his green squad prior to journeying to Oregon for the Oregon-OSC relays. The “Bemoaner” saw his team win 6-2. Remembering this, Colonel Bill Hayward left an encouraging “Re member the Alamo’’ message for the boys in the track locker orom yesterday. In the past weeks Colonel Hay ward has brought his green squad a long way. Although they lost to Washington State Saturday, the Ducks are considered one of the up-and-coming teams in the North west. The only handicap the team has at the present time is its weak ness of manpower in some events. The Ducks have lost many valuable points in recent meets in the shot put, pole vault, and distance runs. Hayward has a potential point getter now in pole vaulter Frank Deinz. Deinz was recently declared eligible for competition and his presence on the team today will bring in added points. The Portland papers give a slight edge to the Ducks in this clash, but checking a recount of the events and possible winners fails to support this contention. Jake Leicht, Oregon’s top sprinter and the best in the conference to date, and Carl Maxey will be pitted against Swan’s Bob Laidlow and Don Humphrey. Jake should win both the hundred and 220 as his times are far better than either Laidlow’s or Humph rey’s. In fact, Maxey may bring home the bacon with seconds in both of these ‘Lightning’ Leight all season. On the conservative side, chalk up 12 for Oregon and 6 for State in the 100 yard dash and 220. It will be Andy Swan and Ernie Schauer’s jobs to crack in for points against the powerful Beaver quarter-milers, O. B. Hughes, Dag get and Coles. These three speed merchants have posted fast times and Hughes has hit a :49.7 quarter this season. Swan has clipped off a :50.3 with Schauer hebind him a second. Oregon 3, State 6. Dependable Walt McClure should bring in a first for the Ducks in the half mile against State’s half miler, Bob Cherry. Johnny Joach ims has been Switched to the mile for today’s run, leaving Oregon weaker in the 880 run. Figure five for Oregon and four for State. The Beaver milers and two milers should bring in more points for Swan in both the mile and two mile. Hayward has George Ham mock and Joachims in the mile and Hugh Stapleton and Paul Smith in the two. The Ducks have been weak all season in these distances. Write in six points for the Web foots and 12 for State. Thanks to the steady im provement of Wyn Wright and Dave Edwards, Hayward can smile when thinking of the hurdles. Wright should produce a first in the highs and a pos sible first in the lows. Credit Oregon with 12 and State with 6. Bill Beifuss, Tom Garrity, Bill Oregon Coeds Cop Second in U.S. Swim Meet The University of Oregon coeds paced their swimming team to sec tlid place in the major school di vision and seventh place in the ma jor-minor division in the national telegraphic swimming meet held last winter term under the spon sorship of the University of Min nesota. In the major college division which includes schools with an en rollment of 1000 students or more, Penn State was first, Oregon sec ond, Purdue third, and Michigan State fourth. In the major-minor schools com bined, Penn Hall placed first, fol lowed by Hawaii of the western region third and Oregon in sev enth place. The United States was divided into four regions: western, eastern, southern, and central. Hawaii, (PI ease T urn to Page Seven) Uclan ‘Varsity’ Wallops Reserves LOS ANGELES, May 15.—(UP) —The University of California at Los Angeles Blues—mostly first stringers—trounced the reserve Golds, 33 to 7, today in the annual spring practice football game. A 57-yard run, aided by a lateral pass, was the feature play of the day. Blue left halfback Ernie John son romped 40 yards to the Gold 17-yard line, where he stumbled and lateraled to tackle John Nikce vich, who ran the remaining 17, yards to score. Bob Waterfield, Cleveland Rams quarterback and former UCLA star, was inserted into the game briefly and threw three successive completed passes. Kydd, Lou Robinson, Dick Shelton, Ed Sanford, Frank Morris, Cliff Johnson and Frank Deinz are going to carry the load for Hay ward in the field events. Beifuss and Garrity should drag in six points in the high jump to State’s three. Robinson, Kydd and Shelton will be the javelin tossers and between them ought to earn six to the Beaver’s three. Sanford and Morris are in the discuss and might get one point to the Orange’s probable eight. Morris, Johnson and Beifuss will raise Oregon’s stock in the broad jump. They should get six and State three. Deinz is in the pole vault and ought to capture three more points. Swan’s shotputters are practically assured eight or nine points. The Beaver’s relay team has been invincible all year—give them five points for a first. Adding the “we’re guessing’* score finds State ahead with eight firsts and 71 points; Oregon listed with seven firsts and 59 points.
