    Beavers Dump Ducks Twice
Dorwood Cecil
Paces 10 to 6
OSC Triumph
By Art Litehman
* Co-SpmtS Editor
CORVALLIS, May 20—(Special)
—Oregon State’s second place Bea
vers remained in the thick of the
1946 Northern Division baseball
pennant race here today by turn
ing back the Oregon Ducks for the
second straight time, 10 to 6.
The Beavers now have nine wins
and five losses and the Webfoots
remain one game in front with 10
•victories and four defeats. The two
teams meet again Friday at Eu
gene in the third game of the cru
cial series.
Oregon needs one triumph to win
its fourth straight flag and the
Beavers need two more wins to
capture the title.
It was a case of too much of the
Cecil family and two critical errors
today.
First-saeker Dorwood Cecil
Masted out a homer and two
singles in four trips to the
plate, drove in four runs and
1 scored three more. Don Cecil,
his cousin, scattered nine VVeb
• foot hits and would have had
a shutout but for some sloppy
play in left field, an error and
his own wild pitch.
In addition to running wild with
bis bat, Cecil turned in a flawless
game at the initial sack. His big
"butterfly net" pulled in four wild
throws to save his mates in the
infield from being charged with
errors.
Oregon failed to get a hit until
the fourth and then singles by Lo
zoski and Tony Crish failed to pro
duce any tallies.
Oregon shifted its infield today
and Bass Dyer took over the hot
corner and Walt Lozoski moved to
shortstop. Lozoski turned in the
best game of the day for the Web
foots, handling six chances with
out a bobble.
Oregon state opened its at
tack in the second inning when
Homer ltropst played Harry
Schultz.e’s bounder, too slowly
and it went for scratch single.
Dorwood Cecil followed with a
865-foot drive over the center
field fence for two runs.
The Beavers scored six more in
the third. Don Cecil opened with a
.single and Dick Kohler was cred
ited with another infield single
when Spike Johnson couldn’t do
anything with his bunt. Don Bower
bunted and all hands were safe
v. hen Dick Rodiger’s throw pulled
Dyer off third.
Harry Richards bounced to Dyer
and two runs scored when he hit
Don Cecil in the back, with his
throw to the plate.
I.ou Wegner walked and
Dorwood Cecil singled to cen
ter for another pair of tallies.
Wegner went to third on the
hit and when Cecil attempted
to steal second he came home to
score under Johnson's throw
to Itodiger.
Dick Lehl then replaced Bropst
..d Jack Schimol greeted him with
mother run-producing single.
A walk, Dorwood Cecil's third
straight hit, Santee's juggle of the
ball in left and Carl Gustafson’s
single accounted for two more runs
in the fifth.
Box score:
The Ducks picked up a pair
in the fifth when Jim Norveli
doubled and scored when Jack
Schimel let Dorwood Cecil’s
throw after Kodiger popped to
him in short right field.
• Walt KirscTi singled and Lozoski

hit. Kirsch scored on Don Cecil’s
wild pitch.
The Ducks picked up four gift
runs in the eighth. Crislr opened
with a double, Johnson struck out

Duck Trackmen
Select Chow
For ND Meet
By A1 Pietsclnnan
Oregon’s trackmen loosened up
muscles yesterday in preparation
for the Northwest meet at Seattle
Saturday. None of the runners had
worked out since the OSC dual
meet Thursday and tried to work
the kinks out of their legs.
Colonel Bill Hayward, track
mentor, talked to his men prior to
the workout and announced the
men that would represent Oregon
at the big run in Seattle.
Determined that his men were
going to be happy on the trip,
Hayward asked each one that was
scheduled to go just what he
wanted for breakfast and received
numerous individual requests.
After the meet, and prior to head
ing back to Eugene, the team will
partake of a big steak “on Ore
gon,” Bill informed his cipder men.
Officials at Seattle have not re
ported whether there will be pre
liminaries to the finals in the meet
or not, and Hayward has had to
do some juggling of the team due
to this uncertainty.
Attired in their “fancy dan”
track meet clothes, the cinder
squad posed for Photog Warren
Teter yesterday afternoon and
were photographed for the 1947
Oregana. Several members of the
team were missing as they had
not received word of the intended
picture taking.
Complete lists of the men and
their events that will travel to
Seattle Friday will be in tomor
row’s Emerald.

Saltzman Loses -
First Game As
Errors Costly
By Tommy Wright
Co-Sports Editor
Ralph Coleman’s determined Ore
gon State college Beavers put a
crimp into Oregon’s bid to sew up
the Northern Division title here
Saturday by handing the Web
foots their third loss of the season,
4-3.
Chuck Sauvain, freshman south
paw hurler from Woodburn, held
the hard-hitting Ducks to six hits,
three of which were infield singles,
to keep the Orangemen in the run
ning for the conference crown.
Hal Saltzman, who boasted a
perfect record on the mound
Oregon with six wins and no loss
es for the season, definitely wasn’t
at his best. He gave up nine hits,
walked two, hit two batters and
threw one wild pitch in going the
route for the Webfoots, and taking
his first loss.
The Webfoots looked good for
their usual ninth inning comeback,
but the rally was halted when A1
Cohen, who had gone in as a pinch
hitter for Jim Norvel, was trapped
off third for the final out.
Oregon State led 4-2 going into
the final frame. Bass Dyer hit a
pinch-hit double along the third
base line. Lyle Pettyjohn, batting
for Ranny Smith, flied out to cen
ter. Cohen walked and both he
and Dyer advanced on Walt
Kirsch’s ground out to third.

roller which Dorwood Cecil
let go through him, and Dyer
scored on the error. Cohen
held up at third, and the stage
was set with the tying run on
third and the winning tally on
first. Lozoski started to steal
second, and Chuck Sauvain
whirled to throw to the key
stone, halted and threw to
third to catch Cohen ten feet
off the bag to end the game.
The Beavers opened the scoring
in the third inning. Don Bower
singled to center and was forced
at second by Carl Gustafson’s
grounder. Gustafson stole second
and scored on Dick Kohler’s triple
along the third-base line. Kohler,
who had a single, a double, and a
triple in five trips to the plate,
scored on Saltzman’s wild pitch.
Oregon came back in the fourth
to net one tally. Lozoski walked
and went to third when Koljlfet—
dropped Tony Crish’s flyball into
center. Lozoski romped home on
Spike Johnson’s single to center
field. Oregon tied the count in the
sixth frame, when Santee crossed
the plate after being caught be

Catcher Lou Wegner dropped the
toss to let Santee score.
