Huskies Outslug Oregon Nine
6-4 Victory Moves Washington
Into Tie with WSC; Ducks Third
By DON FAIR
Assistant Sports Editor
Washington, by virtue of a 6-4 victory ever Oregon yester
day, moved into fir^t place in the Northern Division baseball
race, dropping the.Ducks to third slot.
The Huskies drove Webfoot ace Hal Saltzman to cover with
a four-run blast in the fifth inning, clinching the contest, which
was played in a steady drizzle. Altogether, they garnered 13
hits, while Oregon collected 7 blows for its rung against the
.southpaw elbowing of Cleary Cone.
Bead Until Third
Opening with tW?> runs in the
first inning, sparked by Sammy
'White’s single with men on second
and third, Washington held the
lead until the last of the third
when Oregon, taking advantage of
Cone's wildness, scored twice to
take a 3-2 lead.
In the fifth, the roof fell in on
the Duck nine as the Huskies
bEinged out five hits, one a homer
by Outfielder Kay Charlton with
one aboard, which gave them a 6-3
■ lead.
Oregon Threatens
Oregon threatened to break
loose in the bottom half of the
same frame, when Bob Santee,
first man up, poked a single to
center, and Kovenz reached first,
being hit by one of Cone's inside
pitches. Carlson laid down a per
fect sacrifice, advancing the run
ners to second and third.
Here the rally fizzed as Bill
Burgher, pinch-batting for Dick
Bartle, looked at a third strike,
and relief hurler Harry Walker
also fanned with the bat on his
shoulder. The final Webfoot mark
er came in the seventh when San
tee, poled out his third hit a line

Tough Session
On Grid Slate
Following Rest
Oregon gridders hit the practice
field again today, after a three-day
layoff. Saturday's scheduled intra
mural scrimmage was postponed j
and no workout was held yesterday
because Coach Jim Aiken was on a
brief California visit.
A hard scrimmage is on the agen
da for this afternoon, however, and
plenty of drive is expected from the
men as a result of th erest. The can
didates are going into their fourth
week of the spring practice session,
although two weeks of the four did
not have full slates.
The intrasquad scrimmage was
cancelled Saturday by Coach Aiken
because the men weren’t familiar
enough with the plays to make it
worthwhile. Several chances to see
the lads in action will be given at
later dates, however, when the j
coaching staff deems them ready, i

drive homer, which skittered craz

fielder Jelly Anderson.
Burns Gets Double
Again in the ninth. Oregon had
the makings of a last-ditch surge,
when, with one gone, Dick Burns
doubled, but the next two men
grounded out and flicd out to end
the game.
Walker, in his first appearance
in a league tilt, displayed plenty
of speed on the hill, giving up four
hits in four and two-thirds innings,
and cooly pitched himself out of a
couple of tight holes.
The Webfoots hits were spread
among the first three batters, Walt
Kirsch and Burns collecting two
apiece, and Santee breaking his
slump for a trio of blows. Charlton
belted two singles in addition to
his home i un for \Y asliington.
Cone Supported
Other heavy-clubbing for the
Huskies was turned in by White,
Bill Taylor. Boody Gilbertson, and
Frank Constantino with two hits
each. The Washington nine gave j
Cone excellent support with the
wet ball on the sloppy field, com
mitting no errors.
Howard Hobson's team played
erratically at times, turning in
five boots and on two occasions,
when the fielders made poor throw
ins to the wrong base.
Tomorrow afternoon, weather
permitting, the two teams will
lie al il again with Oregon prob
ably using its “stopper," John
Day, on the hill against Al Goot,
a righthander. If Goot isn’t in
shape. Bob Jorgensen or Bruce
Watson will go for the Huskies.
Game time will be 8 p.m.

April 28 (API The Wabash Little

game here today if the left in

under the fence.
