A 22-man baseball traveling squad leaves the Oregon campus
at 9 a. m. Salem-bound where the nine opens its season today
against Willamette university in a doubleheader beginning at
1:30 p. m. Both games will be abbreviated seven-inning affairs
and will be played at Water’s Field.

first game as Whitey Lokan for the first three innings, Bob
Thomson two innings, and Jim Ekstrom two innings. Hinders
for the-second contest will be Bob Charlton, starter, Homer
Brobst, and Will Stradlev.
The squad was cut from 25 to 22 Thursday afternoon when
pitchers DeWayne Johnson and
Dick Wilkins, and catcher Duff
Kimsey were declared tempo* arily
ineligible.
Going into the initial contests,
Coach Don Kirsch pronounced his
team as defensively good, but the
batting strength is untested. “The
big question mark of the team,
which is for the most part inex
however, is the pitching staff
perienced,” Kirsch explained.
Veterans Start

starting lineup for the Webfoots
this afternoon is: Bill Burgher,
first base; Walt Kirsch, second
base; A1 Cohen shortstop; Don
Kimball, third base; and Johnny
Kovenz, Hal Zurcher, and Pat
Wohlers in the outfield.
No infield reserve were taken on
the trip, which continues to Port
land Friday night where the Ore
gon team meets Portland univer
sity in another twin bill at Colum
bia Park, Saturday at 1:30 p. m.
Other pitchers on the traveling
squad are Norm Henwood, Jim
Kays, and Dick DeBernardi.
The reserve catcher is Dick Rod
iger, while other outfielders slated
for duty are Don Dibble, Johnny
Jones, A1 Smolish, and Russ Nie
haus.
The Willamete diamond squad is
also of untested quality, as the two
games today will be the first of
the season for the Bearcats.
Following the Saturday games,
the Oregon team will return home
to meet the Salem Senators of
the Western International league
in single games, Monday and Tues
