Goot stumbled in the fifth inn

and dealt up a hit to Catcher Bill

Walt Kirsch's single, which got
by Left Fielder Jelley Anderson,

The Washington Counters had

Koch Returns to Action;
Pounds Out Home Run
JV Coach Barney Koch came out
of retirement yesterday to take
the hill for the first time this sea
son and turn in a 9-7 victory for the
Yanigans over the JV Ramblers.
Koch, in addition to hurling
superb ball, helped his own cause
by hammering out four hits in as
many trips to the plate. One was a
home run with three men on base
in the first inning.
A1 Smolish opposed Koch on the
mound for the regulars.
The regulars grabbed a quick
lead in the top half of the first by
driving across two runs but were
quickly overhauled by the Yani
gans in the bottom half of the same
inning.
After the game, Koch pounded
the offerings of Duke Elder to
far corners of the park to prove
he could still hit portside pitch
ing.
Elder had approached Koch say
ing that he felt he could retire the
JV coach on three swings, without
allowing a hit.
Koch obviously won his bet.

Webfoots Gun for Revenge
Trackmen Want Final
Win for "Colonel Bill"
By AE PIETSCHMAN
With one win and two losses to
their credit, Colnoel Bill Hayward's
track and field men prepared yes
terday for their last home stand
. . the big test witli Oregon State
Saturady on Hayward field.
Die Beaxers xxill journey to
Eugene for the annual meet be
txvcen the txvo rival schools this
year. After an impressive pre
season start, the Orange team has
slid doxvnhill, but Coach Grant
Swan xxill he out to again to de
feat Hayxxard’s erexv.
Colonel Bill hasn't won from the
psky Staters since 1943 and is plan
ning plenty of trouble for Swan.
The two coaches are friendly ene
m.i's, and both respect the other's
ability to produce top track men
an. I unexpectedly to come up with
h \ -inning team.
Both Coaches Sang Blues
Last year both Hayward' and
Sx .in bemoaned the fact that they
di .n't have good teams. Swan was
talking with his tongue in his
chock; Hayward stating the truth.
In tile Duck-Bevo clash the Bea
ve;s romped home victors on the
strength of showing of their shot,
putters and discus tossers.
Hated slight favorites in the
northern division meet, tlieSxxan
coaehed cinder team eked out a
x letory and brought the track and
field crown home to Corxallis.
Hayward surprised everyone. His
underrated team, defeated in all
conference dual meets, pulled the,
“COLONEL BILL’ HAYWARD
biggest upset of the day, losing out
to the Beavers by just 9 10 of a
point.
Colonel Bill remembers those
losses in conference meets last year.
He remembers the pasting the
Ducks have taken for two years in
the Oregon-OSC relays. This year
the Webfoots faltered when they
were doped to win.
In a special meeting of all the
trackmen Monday afternoon Hay
ward stressed that the Staters
could lie beaten. He admitted
that they were strong and that
the meet would be close, but
claimed that if every man turned
in his best performance Oregon
could win.
The message took hold. Yester
day the cindermen were running
without any words from Hayward,
They hit the track early and re
mained late.
Still Tries Javelin
Sprinters were oaek in their fold.
♦ ♦ ♦
Jake Leicht ripped fof a couple of
speedy dashes. Dave Henthorne got
the starter’s gun trom John War
ren for practice starts. Carl Maxey
was moving down the track at a
fast clip. Wally Still churned his
legs for more speed and even
picked up the javelin for a couple
of practice tosses.
High jumpers were bounding
over the bar. Bill Beifuss got his
leaps in early and jogged around
the track a couple of times. Wyn
Wright practiced bn the jump
and also worked on speed for his
hurdle events.
Record-breaking George Rasmus
sen soared into the air with team
mate Don Pickens in pole vaulting
tries. Rasmussen continued to look
outstanding, and Pickens showed
improved form.
Shot Put Weak
The boys were hustling in every
event. They were training for a
meet that meant a lot. Oregon fell to :
State in football, basketball, and
once in track. The meet Saturday!
is the big question mark.
Weak spot for the Ducks now, j
according to Hayward is the shot
put. Chuck Elliot was cut from the
squad last week and this leaves a
big hole to be filled.
