Webfoot Nine Splits DoubQeheader
WSC Edges
1-0, Ducks
Win 2nd 3-1
Oregon’s touring baseball club
managed to get a doubleheader
played between showers Tuesday
with Washington State collegjp,
and the Ducks kept a hand on first
place in Northern division stand
ings by splitting with the Cougars.
The WSC nine squeezed out a 1-0
victory in the nine inning first
game, but the Ducks grabbed the
second 3-1, in the pair played on a
Lewiston, Idaho diamond.
Chuck Brayden, Cougar left
fielder, doubled with one out in the
seventh inning, advanced to third
on an infield out, and scored the
only run of the hotly-fought open
ing game on a long fly to right
center field, which Webfoot Pat
Wholers dropped. Whitey Lokan
toiled the whole distance on the
mound for Oregon and gave up
only three hits. The Eugene squad
got seven bingles off the slants of
the WSC hurler.
Bartle Hits Homer
In the second fray Oregon start
ed the scoring early, as Dick
Bartle, first man up in the second
inning,, blasted out a towering
home run to left center field. Sec
ond baseman Walt Kirsch follow
ed Bartle to the plate and drew a
walk, then scored on singles by
Don Dibble and Norm Henwood,
to give the Ducks an early 2-0
lead.
Then in the sixth Inning A1 Co
hen completed the Oregon scoring
by racing homo on a wild pitch.
WSC scored its run in their half of
the sixtli when Brayden came
home after two Cougar hits.
DeWayne Johnson, starting his
second game of the season, held
the Cougars in check until the
seventh inning, w h e n Homer
Brobst was rushed to the mound
to put out the fire. When Brobst
took over theie were two Cougars
on base and none out, but the
strong-armed lad forced the next
three Staters to go out to infield
ers, and saved the game.

Coach Aiken Keynotes
Stiff Defensive Action
By DICK CRAMER
For the first time this spring,
Jim Aiken, head grid coach, kept
the first string, as a unit, on de
fense for the entire scrimmage ses
sion yesterday afternoon. And the
big boys from the varsity showed
the rest of the squad a few tricks.
Aiken had ace passer Norm Van
Brocklin doing most of the work at
the quarterback spot, though Earl
Stelle and Joe T&m also saw a little
duty there. A drizzling rain, which
came down all afternoon, ham
pered the action, and left Aiken
praying for some good weather be
fore the term is over.
It wasn’t the rain that caused
the most trouble—it was the hard
charging varsity line that was con
sistently smashing through to
| break up plays. The reserves were
[ unable to protect the passer as well
Two Hurlers
Yet Undefeated
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5—
(UP)—Earl Jones of the Oakland
Acorns and Junior Thompson of
the San Diego Padres, tpo Pacific
Coast league pitching records with
three victories and no defeats, ac
cording to official statistics re
leased today and including games
of May 2.
Kewpie Dick-Barrett of the Seat
tle Raniers, who has won more than
200 games in his Pacific Coast
league competition; Jack rBewer of
San Francisco and Rex Cecil of
Sacramento each have won five
games.

as the varsity, and were generally
not as sharp offensively as the first
string.
The varsity usually lined up in a
6-2-2-1 defense. In the line were
Bob Anderson and Dan Garza,
end; Don Stanton and Steve Dotur,
tackles; and Ed Chrobot and Ray
Lung, guards. Backing up the line
were two centers, Bus Newcomer
and Brad Ecklund. The halfbacks
were Benny Holcomb and George
Bell with Bob Oas in the safety
spot.
Garza had a fine afternoon, stop
ping most of the plays around his
end, besides drifting around and
making other tackles. Lung was
also looking good, the chunky little
guard slicing in to get Van Brock
lin several times.
Ecklund turned in one of the best
defensive performances of the
spring, looking especially good on
pass defense. Big Brad knocked
down passes regularly with only
one or two passes being completed
in his area. The husky center was
equally effective on ground plays,
once being well blocked by two men
and still making the tackle.
In the backfield, George Bell and
Benny Holcomb both did a good
job. Bell was outstanding on pass
defense, with Holcomb coming up
fast to stop ground plays.
Offense Weak
On the offensive side, the pass
ing was ineffective and the running
was little improvement. Johnny
McKay, the choppy-stepping left
half, turned in a good performance,
getting away for several good runs.
Another left half, Woodley Lewis,
moved the ball well.
Right half Bobby Moore, up from
the Frosh, broke away several
times and is showing definite signs
of improvement.

12th and Alder on the Campus
DuckHarriersMeet
OSC Runners Next
The Oregon varsity tracksters
will invade the OSC campus Satur
day afternoon, in an attempt to
snap their current losing streak
at the Aggies’ expense.
The Ducks -have lost to Oregon
State, in a dual relay meet, Wash
ington State, and the power-laden
University of Washington, in three
cinder battles thus far in the sea
son, but are given at least an even
chance for revenge in the meet Sat
urday.
Lack of Oregon reserve depth in
nearly every event enabled the
Orange and Black harriers to annex
the traditional relay affair, but on
the basis of the individual per
formances turned in last week
against the highly favored Hus
kies, Saturday’s contest should be
rated as a toss-up.
Henthorne May Compete
The Webfoots ran through a
brief, drizzly workout yesterday,
high-lighted by the appearance of
ND sprint champion Dave Hen
thorne, who was on the injured list
and out of action last week. The
little speedster limited his efforts
to jogging and limbering-up, but
with a break in the weather, and
an opportunity to work out the
kinks, he may be able to compete,
against the Beavers.
Pickens Out
On the darker side of the ledger,
it became apparent that Don Pick
ens, number two Duck pole-vault
er and steady point-collector, will
watch the meet from the side-lines.
Pickens fell heavily on his right
arm while jumping in Saturday's
meet, dislocating his elbow, and
putting him out of action indefin
itely.
