Web foots Win Opener from Vandals;
Washington State Trounces Huskies
Saltzman Tosses Three-Hitter,
Oregon Shuts Out Vandals 1-0
Oregon's Hal Saltzman, hooking up in a brilliant pitchers
duel with Francis Auer of Idaho, hurled the Webfoots to a 1-0
win over the cellar dwelling Vandals in the first game in north
ern division play for the locals.
Before a crowd of 4000. the two rival tossers turned in a
midseason performance, with the Ducks lone tally being un
earned. Otherwise the two teams might still be playing, for
both pitchers were just that hot.
Tomorrow, the Vandals and Oregon will close the home
. thpv rbish at .1 n.m. Howard Hobson of the Web
foots plans to use either John Day
or Harry Walker on the mound,
with Whitey Lokan also a possi
bility. Guy Wicks, Idaho mentor,
nominated either John Robinson or
John Dailey to do the honors.
Prince Hal hail his curve
cracking like a whip against the
Vandals, as the rival batters
just couldn’t get set against
him garnering only three hits.
Oregon’s ace righthander was
practically the whole show for
the first five innings, fanning 10
and finally ending up with a
whiff total of 14.
Auer, a gangly southpaw, was
no soft touch either, as the big
Webfoot bats were held to a scant
four blows, while he kept them
mostly on his hip with a variety
of sidearm, submarine, and oc
casionally overhand pitches. He
only fanned two but had the Ducks
popping up all the time, with
his three-speed hurling kept the
local off stride.
Lone tally for the Hobsonmen
came In the bottom half of the
third frame, when with two
gone, leadoff batter Walt Kirsch
slapped a grounder to third
which was kicked around for an
error. Hal Zurcher followed by
getting a half-swing double be
tween first and second to shal
low right, Kirsch advancing to
third.
As it was Auer might have
pitched himself out of this jam, but
when Dick Burns hit a bounding
ball about 10 feet in front of third,
and the Vandal third-sacker mess
ed up the play again, Kirsch
dashed home with the winning
tally.
Only other serious threat turned
in by Oregon was in the fourth
frame, when with one gone,
Johnny Kovenz singled, Hal Saltz
man walked and both advanced on
an overthrow. However, Auer
coolly forcing the next batters to
sky out ending any chance of scor
ing.
In the top halt of the third,
tlie Vandals got runners on first
and second with none gone, on
two infield boots, but Snlt/.man
squelched this by forcing one
hitter to pop out, and whiffed
the other two.
Again in sixth, Idaho made a
belated bid to score, when Roland
Massingill. first up. hit line-singled
to center and moved to second on
a sacrifice. Saltzman once more
turned on the steam, and after
tanning Huffman for the second
out, wild pitched Massengill to
tim'd.
Blank Viro, big Vandal back
stop, stopped the rally by bound
ing out via short. Zurcher witli
two hits in four trips paced the
Ducks, other blows being made by
Kovenz and Burns. Roland Mas
sengill also garnered two bits for
Idaho, the other one being by
Chuck Couper.
Netters Meet
Aggies Today
| With a 7-0 victory over Willa
mette University tucked under
their belts, the varsity tennis men
square off with a potent Oregon
State squad at 2:00 this afternoon
on the Webfoot courts.
The netmen had little difficulty
in subduing the Bearcats, but
Coach Paul Washke warned that
the Aggie aggregation is a far cry
from the inexperienced Salem club,
and said that chances of victory
today are about even. Last sea
son in the dual series, Oregon
traveled to OSC in the opening
matches, and returned on the short
end of a 4-3 score. In the return
engagement on their own courts,
however, the Ducks came out on
top by an identical score.
Most of the top Beaver players
that wielded their rackets against
the locals last year have returned,
and in addition, a pair of courters
with plenty of experience and abil
ity have returned to strengthen
the rival squad.
Oregon men who will probably
see action today are, Jim Zieger,
Leland Anderson, Joe Rooney, Bob
Carey, Fred Howard, Nick Reed,
George Procter, John Trommlity,
Don Wells, and Sol Lesser, newest
addition to the team.

Beavers Edge
Jayvees 16-11
The pesky O.S.C. Beavers
spoiled the opening game for the
Oregon J-V’s by pounding out 15
hits for 16 runs and a 16-11 win.
The Beavers started strong with
five runs in the first and five
more in the fifth with only one
Oregon run being scored, a
home-run by right-fielder A1
Smolish.
Trailing 10-1 at the end of the
fifth, the little Ducks finally be
gan to roll. The first two men
went down; then the roof fell
in on the Beavers. Nine runs
scampered across the plate on
seven singles, two doubles, and
an Aggie error.
That rally was the big effort
of the day for the Ducks, the
Beavers going on to win handily.
The big guns in the J-V attack
were Smolish with four for five,
including a double and home
run, and catcher Bob Schiewe
with a double and three singles
in four trips to the plate.

Cougars Win
By 10-1 Count
SEATTLE, April 18—(API —
The Bailey boys of Washington
State college, collecting ten runs
off ten hits behind the steady hurl
ing of the veteran Wally Kramer,
carved out a 10 to 1 baseball victory *
over Washington today in the open
ing game of the Northern division,
Pacific Coast conference race.
There was never a doubt of the
outcome after Buck Bailey’s Cou
gars got away to a flying start with
a three run first inning.
In the second frame they added
another pair when shortstop Chuck
Brayton homered with one man
aboard.
Max Soriano, who started on the
mound for the hometown Huskies,
was lifted in th efourth inning after
capping his lack of control with two
successive wild pitches. Bruce Wat
son replaced him but was unable to
halt the Cougars.
Bob McGuire touched him for a
triple in the sixth inning after Bill
Faller had doubled home one run
and two more tallies came home on
that long blow.
Washington tallied its lone run
in the sixth on a single by K. Chorl
ton, an error at shortstop and an
outfield fly.
The teams meet again tomorrow.
The score:
W. S. C.320 103 001—10 10 2
Wash . ..000 001 000— 1 8 3
