Tracksters Face Pilots, 'Cats Today
By AL PIETSCHMAN
A handful of stalwarts will carry
Oregon’s hopes in today’s tri
angular meet with Portland and
Willamette universities. Sched
uled for Hayward field at 1:30 the
meet will probably be closer than
the annual three-way battle has
been in several meetings.
A possible upset by rejuvenat
ed Pilot and Bearcat squads is not
, impossible, and the margin of vic
tory for the Ducks rests with I
several of Colonel Bill Hayward’s
top men who are still able to com
pete.
Hayward returned to the campus
yesterday after a day at his home
on the McKenzie where he mapped
his weekend strategy.
Oregon will look pretty sad in
some of the events. Only one and
two men scheduled for several
events—events in which Oregon
has had plenty of power. The loss of
several top trackmen via injuries
has left a big gap for the Colonel
to fill and so far, the spots are still
empty.
Sprinters on Sidelines
Dave Henthorne, Chuck Beckner,
Jake Leicht and Wally Still are not
scheduled to compete. Henthorne
and Leicht have been outstanding
in all their performances this year
while Beckner and Still have been
sidelined all year with injuries.
The field events are also hit
by loss of men. Merce Brown, po
tent high jumper and broad
jumper, still has his sprained an
kle taped tightly and probably
Huskies Invade Howe Field Monday;
Jayvees Slaughter Junior BeVos, 20-1
Norm Henwood Stars on Mound and Plate
As Ducklings Win in "Comedy of Errors"
« By GEORGE SKORNEY
Barney Koch’s hustling Oregon JV baseball team, backed
by the pitching arm and bat of Norm Henwood who twice
blasted out home runs with the bases loaded, won a “comedy
of errors” ball game 20-1 from the Oregon State junior varsity
on Howe field yesterday afternoon. It was the second game for
the jayvees this season and their first win. A week ago the
Beavers downed the Ducks 16-11. But yesterday it was a
different team on the field that
clubbed out 15 hits behind Hen
wood’s three-hit pitching.
Don Dibble, Duck second base
men, greeted Knapp with a deep
single into left field which Ore
-gon State’s Kerr bobbled, letting
Dibble come in with the first run.
Leftfielder Wally Scales then
singled to right and advanced to
second when A1 Smolish beat-out
an infield hit. Both men then
pulled a double steal.
Henwood Ians 10
First baseman Dick DeBernardi
scored Scales from third as
Smolish was forced at second.
Henwood fanned the first
three Beavers up in the second
inning to extend his strikeout
total to five. In the seven inn
ings he pitched, ten incn fanned.
Oregon added one more run in
the second inning when Warren
Rickey was safe on an error, stole
second, and went to third on an
overthrow by the catcher. He
scored on Catcher Dick Rodiger’s
deep fly into left field.
Bevo Tally in 5tii
In Oregon’s half of the third,
Smolish got on on an error by
Trait and stole second. Kimball
walked, and each man moved up a
base on a passed ball. Rickey
walked, and with fne bases loaded
Rodiger was safe at first on an
error, Smollish scoring.
In the fourth inning with the
bases loaded, two outs, and after
the Ducks had scored three
runs, Henwood knocked out his
first homer on a long fly ball
into left field. That made the
score 11-0 for the Ducks.
The fifth inning saw the same
situation as Henwood chalked up
his second homer with two outs
and the bases loaded.
In the fifth inning the Beavers
got their lone run when Piche,
centerfielder, knocked out a
double, went to third.on a pass
ball by Rodiger, and scored on on
overthrow by Kimball at first.

PULLMAN, April 25 (AP) —
Rallying to win both doubles match
es, the Washington State college
tennis team today nosed out Ore
gon State 4 to 3 in a northern divi
sion meet.
1946 Racquet Champs
On Duck Courts Today
A formidable array of net tal
ent will square off with the Duck
tennis men at 1:30 this afternoon,
when the Washington team opens
its 1947 title defense on the Uni
versity courts.
Leland Anderson defeated Jim
Zieger two straight sets yester
day to step into the number one
slot on the Oregon squad. An
derson, a one-year letterman,
will face Jim Brink, a nationally
rated swatter now wielding his
racket for the potent Huskies.
Speedy Sol Lesser climbed a step
higher on the tennis ladder in the
intrasquad matches Thursday by
downing Fred Howard, 6-2, 13-11.
Lesser is now in the No. 5 spot.
The defending champion Huskies
are rated the team to beat again
this season, but the Webfoot# have
hopes of avenging last year's de
feat.
The Ducks have strengthened
their doubles combination the
past week, and Zim Zieger, act
ing coach, predicts a red-hot con
test against the Seattle court
men.
Yesterday the tennis team and
the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity
joined forces and erected a tempo
rary bleachers on each side of the
court to accommodate the expected
record crowd.
Other intrasquad action:
Zolezzi, defeated Proctor 6-2, 2-6,
6-4; Tromlitz defeated Wells, 6-2,
6-4; Ford and Gerber tied 7-all in
the third set; Crockatt defeated
Light. 7-5, 10-8; Bonime defeated
Wyssong, 6-4, 6-4; and Herb Cllin
defeated Bill Perrin, 6-4, 6-3.

Huskies blew a six-run lead at Cor
vallis yesterday as they dropped a
10-8 decision to the Oregon State
Beaver nine.
The Huskies led 6-0 in the fourth
inning when the Beavers broke
loose. Max Soriano started on the
hill for the Seattle nine but could
not silence the Orangemen, and
three Husky hurlers saw action
during the afternoon.
Bud Fortier started on the
mound for the Beavers but was re
lieved by Pete Kruger.
The defeat dropped the Huskies
into a third-place tie with the Cor
vallis nine in the northern division
standings.
Wyoming has fewer ranches and
farms today than it had ten years
ago.
Day ot Rest brings
Ducks No. 1 Spot
Oregon's baseball Ducks, fresh
from a 6 to 4 victory over the pesky
men of Bailey’s Circus had the day
off yesterday. And while enjoying
the day off, moved into first place
in the infant Northern Division
pennant race as the Oregon State
Beavers knocked the Washington
Huskies out of first place and into
a tie for third.
The action at Corvallis, regard
less of what happens to the north
today, extended the lease on the
top rung until the Huskies arrive
at Howe field on Monday for the
opening of the final Oregon home
series before the road trip.
Coach Howard Hobson was mum
today on what would be the lineup
when Art McLarney brings his first
Washington team to Howe field. It
was a slightly juggled ball club
which dumped the Cougars and
only game time Monday will reveal
how the board of strategy figures
which combination will face the
Huskies. On the basis Of the re
sults from Corvallis yesterday,
it should be Max Soriano on the
hill for the Washington nine. The
ace right-hander went to the
showers early and might get the
call again in the first tussle here.
Oregon’s starting chucker, as in
the other two opening games, prob
ably will be Hal Saltzman. Roy
Carlson and Bill Burgher are ready
..for the work back of the plate.
won’t be on the field. Brown nas ^
cleared six feet on the high jump
and can do twenty-two feet in the
broad jump.
Oregon’s chance for winning the
afternoon affair lies in the half mile,
the hurdles, pole vault, high jump,
and javelin. Veterans are still avail
able for these events, and visitors
will have a hard time getting points
in these events.
Paced by dependable Sty Nor
ene, Oregon has a good chance of
sweeping the half mile. Bill Pur
cell and Jerry Hunter complete
the trio.
Wyn Wright and Jack Doyle
will carry Oregon’s hopes in the
hurdle events. Wright should be
a cinch for two firsts, and Doyle
might get the second spots.
George Rasmussen and Don
Pickens can both clear 12 feet 6 1
inches in the pole vault and a first
and second in this event seem
assured.
The high jump will be another
Bill Beifuss, Wright, andf probably
strong event for the Ducks with
Rasmussen leading the way.
Maxey Lone Sprinter
Lou Robinson, Jim Porter, and
Keith DeCourcey should take
three places in the javelin. Robin
son has flipped the spear 200 feet
and should havd no competition
today.
John Joachims, Pete Mundle,
and George W’atkins will prob
ably pick up some points in the
mile and two-mile.
Minus his hearty crew of sprint
ers, Colonel Bill Hayward will
send only Carl Maxey to the post.
Maxey will probably take firsts
without too much effort, although
Andy Swan of Portland may press
him if he runs.

A1 Pietschman
