- DUCK TRACKS
By BERNIE HAMMERBECK

Howe field fans had their first opportunity of the season to
see Hobby Hobson’s Oregon nine in action yesterday, and few
if any went away disappointed. The Ducks did not prove them
selves the best in the division,
Jnit the certainly showed plen
ty of promise.
, The Grizzlies of Montana
might not be what one would
call the toughest opposition in
the world. They had made a
long journey by chartered bus
and were obviously outclassed
by the Hobsonmen. A line of
credit, however, is certainly
due the Grizzlies. 1947 is their
first season of baseball in
twenty years, and the mere
DICK RODIGER
iact tnat they are willing* to field a team against a topnotch
college club puts them on the top of the courage list.
As to just what phase of the Webfoot game showed the
most leason for joy, it is hard to say. One obvious asset of
the current club is the depth of the talent. Hobson used two
complete sets of outfielders, doubled up on the right side of
the infield, and tried still a third third-baseman in the outfield.
A parade of five pitchers faced the Grizzlies, and all showed
promise.
Bob Santee Packs a Big S tick
1 here was little to choose among the lads roaming- the
outer pastures. Leading the list was the potent stick of Bob
Santee. Oregon’s leading hitter last year, he set the pace with
three triples, a double, and a single in seven tries ... a fair
piece of work in any league. Hobson has every reason to be
happy that Bob did not transfer to USC as he had planned
early last summer.
Don’t overlook the possibility that Santee may see action
as shortstop instead of the outer garden. Bob saw some duty
^ there last year and could easily take over again, as was
shown in the nightcap yesterday.
Though there was a variety of faces in the outfield yester
day, several outstanding prospects did not see action, among
them being Charley Mickelson and Homer Parks. Both Mick
elson and Parks were regulars on the Hills Creek nine that
won the Cascade league title last summer.
The showing of Dick Bartle at first base was also im
pressive. A smooth fielding first baseman is a recpiisite of any
goo dball club, and Bartle showed plenty of class in the field.
The Ducks ran into trouble more than once last year when
infield throws went through first base. Bartle is tall at 6 feet
2 inches and moves around well. He’s a fair sticker and shows
plenty of sjreed on the bases.
The Esquire Kid a Real Lefthander
Swede Carlson behind the plate looked great. Several of
the railbirds were afraid the big letterman from the 1943 squad
would not be in shape, but the Swede quickly took care of all
such talk in yesterday’s contest. Backing him up is letterman
Dick Rodiger, who boasts none too lusty a batting average
but makes up for it in the RBI column.
Lefthander John Day came through in grand fashion as
he whiffed seven in his four innings of action. Big John
may work in well with Hal Saltzman as the 1-2 mound com
bination.
Few of the fans present appreciated the work of Fred
Kuhl, as he relieved Saltzman in the first tilt. Fred is a
knuckle-bailer of considerable talent, and the frantic swing
ing of the Grizzlies was not due altogether to their own im
potent bats.
Patsy Wohlers, the Esquire kid and a real lefthander, gave
some of the boys a near case of fits when he played a fly ball
a shade too deep, then suddenly stuck out his glove to make
the catch. Joked Coach Hobson “It probably took a bad hop.”
Peerless Pietschman Had a Rough Day
The Emerald’s ace track prognosticator, A1 Pietschman,
had a bit of trouble in doping the OSC relays, but please,
sports fans, don’t lost: hope on the crystalballer yet. Last year
he hit one meet on the nose and picked the northern division
meet to within fractions of points.
Early season conditions have made it very difficult to get
an accurate line on Oregon’s potentialities, and running in
the cold, slush, and rain as at Corvallis just about defies even
the best of form charts. Also causing the Emerald’s pride
plenty of trouble is the lack of accurate information on the
other teams in the division.
... The University of Washington has set Northwestern
sports fans back on their heels again. This time the Husky
officials have announced that the yare building a $250,000
clubhouse for the crew team.

INTRAMURAL RESULTS
Phi Delta Theta 18, Sigma Hall 4
Chi Psi 16, Yeomen 2
Theta Chi 9, Stan Ray hali 3
Sigma Nu 5, Awful Awfuls 4
By ELWIN PAXSON
A grand total of 61 runs crossed
the plate in intramural softball ac
tion yesterday, in four contests
highlighted by extra base clouts
and fire-ball hurling.
The hard-hitting Phi Delts blast
ed Sigma hall, 18 to 4, the Chi Psis
rolled up 16 markers to the Yeo
men’s 2, and a spirited Theta Chi
nine blasted Stan Ray hall, 9 to 3.
The only closely-contested match
saw the Sigma Nus come from be
hind in the last inning to edge the
Awfuls, 5 to 4.
A no-hitter was chalked up by
Phi Delt twirlers, Charley Mickle
son and Dan Fry, but wildness ac
counted for the Sigma scores. Their

thigh and ankle. Even though he
has limbered up since his initial
soreness Maxey probably won’t be
used against Idaho.
Quarter-milers and distance
men got the nod from Hayward
to take hard workouts and the
coach announced changes in events
for many of the men. Instead of
keeping his runners to the events
they were specializing in for the
relays, Hayward notified them
that they would run new races.
Johnny Joachims, half-miler in
the relay runs, will switch to the
mile and join John Mundle, and
Curt Butterfield. Joachims is an
old hand at the mile run and
should make a good teammate for
Mundle who showed plenty of
speed in the long race against Ore
gon State Tuesday.
Dave Henthorne, and Hal White
will probably stick to their quar
termile- while quarter-miler Jerry
Hunter moves up to the half mile
with Stu Norene, and Bill Purcell.
Half-miler George Watkins makes
the biggest switch—from the 880
to the two mile run!
Other runners switching to the
two-mile to face the Vandals are
Bob Dreisner, A1 Pietschman and
Dwight Zulauf.
Although none of the men
cleared over six feet, the high
jump squad should pick up most
of the points in their events
against the Vandals with Merc
Brown, Bill Beifuss, George Ras
mussen and Wyn Wright jumping
for Oregon.

teammates gave them excellent
support by pounding the hall boys
for countless hits, and these, com
bined with several errors, enabled
the Phis to rack up 18 tallies, nine
of them in a big second inning
spree. Bill Philips was a big gun in
the winner’s barrage with three
doubles in as many trips to the
plate.
Versatile Chuck Rufner, John
Kroder, and Ned Mansfield, all
connected for circuit blows as the
Chi Psis overcame a two run Yeo
men lead in the second, going on
to pile up 16 runs before the hour
time limit expired. Pitcher Fred
Cothrell held the millrace squad
scoreless for two innings, but in
the bottom half of the third they
exploded for nine runs and piled
up an additional seven in the re
maining innings.
The Sigma Nus capitalized on
Lou Hut’s wildness to eke out their
narrow win over the Awfuls. The
little wind-miller walked in the first
Sigma Nu run, and free bases plus
an error in the final stanza enabled
the 11th streeters to rack up their
initial victory of the season. The
Awfuls bunched five hits in the first
to pile up an early three-run mar
gin.
Theta Chi, behind Tommy
Wright’s windmill offerings,
showed plenty of hustle and con
nected for plenty of bingles to de
feat Stan Kay by six runs. Roy
Baughman banged out a home
run in the first to pace the Theta
Chi hitters. A six-run splurge in
the fourth gave the hill-toppers
their lop-sided win.
