Webfoots Level Huskies3-2 Lefthander Day Pitches Third Loop Win; Series Stands Even A costly balk by Husky hurler A1 Goot, in the seventh inn ing with Oregon Dick Burns on third, enabled the Webfoots to edge Washington 3-2 yesterday, giving Howard Hobson's team a split in the two-game northern division series. It was the Duck’s reliable left-hander John Day who turned in the mound victory, his third in as many starts, which put Oregon into second slot in the league standings, a game behind the Washington State Cougars. Both hurlers, after shaky starts, settled down, the game being tied 2-all after the fourth frame. The winning run scored by the locals was unearned, as 'the pitchers al lowed only five hits in the last four and one-half innings. Lacking his usual control at the outset, Day got into a jam in the first inning after he retired the first two batters. Jelly Anderson got a single, and both Sammy White and Boody Gilburtson walked to load the bases. Day then cut his high, hard one loose and fanned Kay Chorlton to retire the side. The Huskies were determined, however, to break into the scoring column in the next fiame. coo raie, nrsi up, walked, and Oregon shortstop At Cohen booted Frank Constantino’s double-play ball to put runners on first and sec ond. Goot laid down a sacrifice ad vancing the men to scoring position. When Bill Taylor popped in front of the plate to Roy Carlson for the second out, it looked like Day might squeeze out of the hole. Dos Churouhas was inten tionally passed, hut the strategy h a ckfi r e d when Anderson smashed his second straight sin gle to left field, putting in the two Washington runs. Dangerous Sammy White was walked for the second intentional base on balls of the inning, but Gil burtson flied to Tony Crish in right field to snuff the rally, leaving the bags clogged. Oregon came back in the bottom half of the stanza with a loner, making the score 2-1. After two were gone, Carlson hit the long, high double just inside the left field foul line, and Bartle promptly bat ted him across with a screaming single a foot past Goot's out stretched glove. In the fourth, the Duck bats n ally came to life, Crish knocking a one-baser past second. John Ko vonz followed with another hot sin-‘ gle just out of reach of the Wash ington first sacker, Crish moving to third. Carlson kept the surge alive with a one-base blow just inside first base, Crish scoring to tie the count 2-2, and Kovcn/, moving to third with none out. Itartle grounded out via third base, CaVli son moving to second, Wohlers, hatting for Cohen, was intention ally passed, and Day whiffed, and Walt Kirsch bounced out to end llic inning. As in the final Washington State contest, it was the seventh inning which spelled victory for the Web foots. With one down, Dick Burns hit a hot bouncer off Boot's glove, and when the Washington pitcher tossed wildly to first, Burns went to second on the two-base error. Midi Santee received a political walk, C'risli forcing him at sec ond and Burns moving to third. Boot went into his stretch, watching Crish take his lead off, thinking that the Duck Outfielder was going down, Goot wheeled to tlirow to first but nobody was covering. Bather than throw the ball away, he held on to it, balk ing in the decisive tally. Washington made a belated rally in 'the eighth, with White, the first hitter, singling sharply to right field ,and promptly stealing second. Gilburtson skied out to Crish, and after Bartle took Charleton’s towering foul in short right, White moved on to third. Day bore down and whiffed pinchhitter Jim Chorl ton on three straight pitches to re tire the Huskies. Carlson paced the Webfoots at the plate with two hits, one a dou ble, while Anderson with three sin gles and Goot with two, accounted for five of the six Washington hits, the loss was the first of the season for the lanky Washington hurler in three starts.

The Fijis should have little trouble slipping by the last place Yeomen but the Chi Psi sluggers may find the going a bit rougher when they square off against the ever-dangerous Campbell club.
