Kirschmen Head North Nine Faces Idaho WSC, UW on Trek The Oregon Ducks left this morning at 7 o’clock on the first leg of their baseball road trip. First stop is Moscow, Idaho, where they tangle in a two-game series with the Vandals Friday and Saturday. .A chartered bus will take the Webfoots on their inland tour of Idaho, Washington State, and Washington. Tht trip will extend from today through a week from this Saturday. 17-Man Squad Mentor Don Kirsch named a traveling squad of seventeen players, including six pitchers, two catchers, five infielders, and four outfielders. DoWayne Johnson will be included in the traveling squad if his leg is in condition. Yesterday Kirsch was jn doubt as to his condition, and said it would depend upon just how much help Johnson would give with his leg in its present shape. If Johnson remains behind, Willard Stradley, another left hander, will take his place on the list. The squad named for the road trip includes: Pitchers: Lokan, Brobst, DeBer nardi, Henwood, Walker, Johnson (or Stradley). Catchers: Burgher, Rodiger. Infielders: Battle, Kirsch, Cohen, Stratton, Kimball. Outfielders: Dibble, Wohlers, Zurcher, Kovenz. WSC, Huskies Next Week After the two contests with Ida ho, the Ducks rest a day, and then engage the Washington State Cou gars at Pullman Monday and Tues day. They travel to Seattle Wed nesday and meet the Huskies in two games Thursday and Friday. Kirsch plans to have his squad ■arrive in Eugene after the trip some time late Friday night. The squad will leave Seattle after the last game against the Huskies. Up in Portland Tuesday, Skipper Kirsch gave quite a few of his sec ond stringers a chance to perform against the Portland U. nine. How ever, Kirsch's attention was more on the performance of some of his untried hurlers. Henwood, Walker to Go The Ducks split the double head er, winning the first game 11 to 5 and dropping the might cap 7 to 3. From these two games, Kirsch was able to choose the two pitchers who will round out his travel squad. He selected Henwood and Walker to make the trip. Henwood pitched the first part of the opener, and although he was somewhat wild, he made a good showing. Bob Walker hurled the last two innings of the final con test and according to Kirsch looked very good. Pitchers on Spot What kind of a showing the Ducks make on this road trip will depend entirely upon the pitchers. If they come through, Oregon will have a good chance to return to Eu gene with a chance at the title. Kirsch was somewhat optimistic (Please turn to page seven) ————M————T R&R WASHATERIA EUGENE’S NEWEST Self-Service Laundry Tumbler Dryer 8 A. M. until 9 P. M. MONDAYS - WEDNESDAYS FRIDAYS 8 A.

"Washateria Wav" 2470 Alder Phone 5545-R Injury Forces Abbey to End Football Career Sending his first string linemen to the showers early, Coach Jim Aiken concentrated upon the lesser lights of the football team Tues day, in a lengthy, blustery work out. Drawing special attention was Earl Stelle, the quarterback up from the Frosh eleven, whom Aiken is attempting to groom into the supporting quarterback role for Friday’s scheduled intrasquad game. The head mentor thinks the youngster has a good throwing arm, but needs polish on his foot work and experience under game conditions before he will be ready for the big time. Ball Carriers Shine Several ballcarriers managed to run through the opposition with comparative ease. John McKay as usual stuttered his way into the clear, as did Bob Oas and Keith De Courcey. Tom Lyons, a newcomer to the pigskin packing fraternity, slashed deep into the secondary several times, and once cleared a path all the way. Woody Lewis looked good in the left half posi tion. Unless it rains, the intrasquad battle will be performed Friday afternoon, oh the practice grid field. Hayward field will not be used until the final game of the spring session, during the football coaches’ clinic. The gridmen will be in full uniform Friday, under pres ent plans, and although they have had less than 20 of the permissable (Please turn to page seven) I Order of O Meets There will be an Order of the O meeting at the Phi Delt house this noon. Newly-elected President Rog er Wiley requested that all mem bers be present as it is an impor tant meeting. Other new officers for Order of the O are Reedy Berg, vice-president, and Hal Zurcher., secretary-treasurer. Henthorne to Miss Meet With Huskies Saturday A winless Oregon track squad will play host to the highly-rated University of Washington cinder men on Hayward field Saturday af ternoon, with the invading Huskies already listed as heavy favorites. The meet promises to be a re peat performance of the 81-50 lac ing handed the Ducks last year in Seattle. The defending ND cham pions are strong in every event, and should have no difficulty in hand Oregon's Par-Busters Prepare for Washington By KEN JOHNSON Northern division golf suprem acy hangs in the balance Friday when Oregon’s 1947 champions play host to the Washington Hus kies at the Eugene country club. With three victories behind them, Coach Sid Milligan’s Web foot linksters are given a slight edge. But the Huskies have been rated second only to Oregon this year, and the match should be close. The Duck squad has the re quisite for all collegiate sports . . . depth in reserves. The showing of Bob Sederstrom against WSC and Idaho and the sparkling sub-par 69 shot by Bruce Fischer against OSC last Saturday are testimonials to that fact. Fischer Moves Fischer is now fifth man on the team after a victory over A1 Riebel. Dom Provost advanced to second position and A1 Crosbie and Rod Taylor will play off to de cide the third and fourth spots. Riebel and John Prince are match ed to sixth man. Some individual medal scores that have been posted this year would be good enough to place in the money on the “golden trail” of professional golf, and these have been shot in poor weather. Pro vost’s scores of 70, 72, and 67 and Stafford’s 71, 72, and 70 would be welcomed by many pros in the circuit. Bruce Fischer’s 69 against OSC wasn’t just a flash in the pan, ac cording to other .team members. They say that Fischer has been playing well consistently—well enough to beat Prince, Sederstrom, and Riebel out of team positions, and those men are potent competi tion in any match.

The trolleys were so rambunc tuous three decades ago that all Brooklynites were tabbed “Trolley Dodgers,” or, more briefly, “Dodg ers.” The 'Brooklyn baseball club in herited the nickname. But it was revealed that the trol leys are being retired. Trolley bus ses wi# take their place. ing the under-manned Oregon team its second conference loss in a row. Henthorne Out The outlook was further dark ened yesterday when Mentor John Warren disclosed that sprinter Dave Henthorne will be unable to compete Saturday. Henthorne, Northern Division ti tle holder in both the 100 and 220, suffered a leg injury several weeks ago that will keep him on the side lines until at least May 6. He will be replaced by Bob Weber, a trans fer from the 440. Warren Pessimistic Warren forecast a clean sweep for the northerners in the track events. The Ducks have been woe fully weak in the longer distances all season, and with Henthorne on the injured list, they stand little chance of outpacing the Huskies in the sprints. Most of Oregon’s points will be garnered in the field events. George Rasmussen, pole-vaulter turned high-jumper, who annexed both, events against WSC last week, is expected to duplicate his feat Sat urday. Ray Heidenrich in the dis cus, broadjumper Merc Brown, and Lou Robinson in the javelin are all better - than - average performers, and stand a strong chance of con tributing points for top spot in their respective events.
