Baseball Weather Cheers Up Kirsch Yesterday’s sudden warm spring weather also brought some sun shine into Don Kirsch’s baseball coaching duties. Kirsch, in his first season as Oregon diamond mentor, bad his first real chance to give the candidates a workout and more truly evaluate the material. Explaining that the Duck horse liiders were still far from ready for their preseason opener Friday against Willamette, Kirsch never theless figured that if the weather holds out, the team can take rapid strides toward conditioning. The doubleheader against the Bearcats will be held at Water’s field in Sa lem. The games will start at 1:30 p.m., both seven innings in length. Saturday, Oregon travels to Portland for two more seven-inning contests with the Portland univer sity Pilots.

Only three of these are south paws, Will Stradley, Dewayne Johnson, and Jim Ekstrom. The right-handers include Whitey Lo ll an, Dick Wilkins, Jim Kays, Dick DeBernardi, Norm Henwood, Ho mer Brobst, Bob Charlton, George Watkins, and Bob Walker. On the catching staff, the Web foots have two lettermen back, Bill Burgher and Dick Rodiger, with Duff Kimsey to understudy them. At first, Dick Bartle, starter last year, and Don Gassoway are bat tling for the berth. Kirsch at Second Walt Kirsch, two-year letterman and captain of the team, appears to have the inside track at second, with competition being offered by Bud Smith. Another two-year vet eran, A1 Cohen, and newcomer Jack Cooley are the top shortstop candidates. Don Kimball, up from the JVs, beads the third basemen, with Chuck Strader also in line for the position. Last year’s third-sacker Johnny Kovenz has been switched to left field, and Don Dibble, var sity in ’46 and on the JVs last sea son, is trying for the same spot. Fleet-footed letterman Hal Zur cher is back in centerfield, with John Jones, two-year JV man, as rell —.-M——i—.■ . .1. insurance. The rightfield post is a battle between Pat Wohlers and A1 Smolish. Wohlers, who is strengthening a leg which he broke last season, is a letterman, and Smolish has two seasons of JV ex perience behind him. Only left-handed batters on the squad, outside of the pitchers, are Gassoway, Wohlers, Jack Heckt, and Russ Niehaus, while Smolish is a swith-hitter. Divoteer Cards 76 Although Lou Stafford cooled off to a lukewarm 74, yesterday, after Tuesday’s sensational 65, he continued to lead Oregon’s golfing aspirants through second-round qualifying action. A newcomer, John Prince, shot a first-round 76 yesterday, while letterman Dom Provost turned in a five-over-par 77 first round. The qualifying rounds are being played at the Eugene Country club and all cards must be in by April 11.
