Rain Stymies Oregon Nine By DON FAIR With their opening game com ing up next Friday at Salem against Willamette University in a doubleheader, rain is still hold ing the Duck baseball nine in check. Yesterday Coach Howard Hob son spent most of the session by explaining his plans for the com ing season. The squad now num bering some 90-odd candidates will be reduced to 50, with half of these playing under JV mentor Barney Koch. Hobson bad originally planned a Regular-Yannigan game, yes terday, with the former team composed of fettermen, to get a general idea of the material on band. As rain called a halt to this, Hobson plans to give, the diamonders a brief fielding and batting workout on the up per field if it drains. Otherwise the squad will move to the lower field and spend most of the time in fundamental drills and shagging flies. Also with the huge size of the squad, Hobson stated that he may divide the candidates into groups with one for outfielders, infielders, and batterymen. No matter what the weather turns out to be today, Hobson is going to spend a long session with the hurlers and catchers in the shed, in order to ready his squad for the Willamette tilts. On April 5, the Duck nine treks to Portland, playing the Pilots in a doubleheader. Port land will return the twin bill on April n here at Eugene.

Starting Nod With only five days remaining until the date set by Coach Jim Aiken for the opening of spring football practice, locker room hands are busy issuing equip ment to the waiting gridders. All players who plan on reporting for the first turnout are expected to have drawn their equipment before hand, according to Assistant Coach Dick Miller. Every man who wants to play football next year is expected to be on the field by 3:30 Monday after noon, said Miller, for the first of the scheduled 30-day workout period. The record turnout expected is due in part to Coach Aiken’s recent announcement that all positions on the 19-17 grid team are wide open. A considerable amount of new ma terial is expected to be seen this spring in light of the enthusiastic way Aiken has been received on his speaking tour of the state. At present he is away, but is expected to return to the campus Thursday.
