Wehioots-Beavers to Renew
'Civil War' Diamond Series
This afternoon at 3 p. m., Oregon’s hot-and-cold baseball
nine meets Oregon State in the opening game of their annual
Civil War series at Corvallis.
Currently the Webfoots are in third slot with a .500 record
in 12 games, while the Beavers are only a game behind with
five wins and seven setbacks. Although neither team is as yet
, mathematically eliminated from the northern division race,
TONY CRISH . . . one of Howard
Hobson’s base bailers who is playing
his last season of ball for the Uni
versity of Oregon this season. Crisli
may get the starting nod in right
field when the Ducks battle with the
Beavers in Corvallis, today.

OCE Team 14-4
University of Oregon’s junior

lambasted Oregon College of Edu
cation 14-4. * The Duckling nine
pushed 14 runs across on as many
bits. The shaky! OCE lads hit safe
ly five times but booted away 12
fielding chancesi Sid Mills was the
winning pitcher.
The two teams play again today

; uieir cnances ot winning are al
most too slim to consider either
| team as a contender.
In comparative series with other
j oop teams, Oregon split with
| Washington State, while the Ag
j gies salvaged only one win out of
the four-game series. The Ducks
! took three-of-four from Idaho,
| with the Beavers gaining a split,
i but the procedure was reversed
! with Washington, Oregon winning
I only one game, while Oregon State
j captured two from the Huskies,
j Potentially the Beavers are a
; harder-hitting team as past
scores indicate, but the pitching
for the Corvallis team has been
spotty. Ironically, Oregon’s
hurling has been the strong suit,
■ while the batting has fallen off.
Howard Hobson is expected to
Day as his starter for this after
chose either Hal -Saltzman or John
noon’s contest, while the Staters
will probably retaliate with Chuck
Suavain. The Beaver catching
staff received added strength with
the return of Frankie Roelandt to
active duty. The other capable
Aggie receiver is Lou Wegner.
Bud' Fortier of the State nine
has been one of the top hitters in
the division all season, while Har
j ry Richards, converted from short
to first, has been another main
| stay.
Oregon, still looking for some
batting strength with men on
the base, will use the tentative
lineup of Hoy Carlson, catcher;
Dick Bartle, first; Walt Kirsch,
second; A1 Cohen, short; Johnny
Kovenz, third, and Boh Santee,
Dick Burns, and either Hal Zur
cher or Tony Crish, outfielders.
The second game of the Civil
War will come off next Monday
afternoon here at Howe field, when
the Webfoots return to their home
stamping-grounds for the first
time in over three weeks.
It ANNIE SMITH . . . One nf last year's heavy hitters who travels to
Corvallis today with the Duck baseball nine to onen the annual “Civil
War” series with Oregon State.

high jump tomorrow, where he
will attempt to better the state
record of 6 feet 3 inches.
Washington will have entrants
in the mile, the discus, the 100
yard dash and the 220.
The rest of the field was spread
eagled with 31 schools placing one
or more men.

to George Fullerton, the Ashland
miler who will attempt to better
his own record of 4 ;24 minutes;
