the outstanding ends on the const last year, gaining great promi

Ducks Correct Mistakes
Made in Scrimmage
Oregon’s football players found
out that Junior Weekend festivi
ties were definitely over Monday
afternoon, as they went through a
length scrimmage session, trying
to correct the mistakes made in
Friday's intrasquad battle.
The first eleven, playing the of
fensive role in the workout, con
centrated on its air attack, witlr
Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin
passing chiefly to three receivers
—left end Dan Garza, and Bob
Anderson and Dick Wilkins, alter
nating at right end. George Bell,
running at right half, and Keith
Decourcey, at the same spot with
another backfield unit, were also
on the catching end of a number of
tosses.
Wilkins had the most success if
the afternoon hanging onto the
pigskin. Twice he stole the ball
from the hands of the safety man
by outjumping him, and was clear
to the goal line.
A multitude of halfbacks per
formed during the session, and

Jimmy Aiken, Woodley Lewis,
Bunny Easter, and John McKay all
reeled off sizable runs through the
secondary. And Bell and Decour
cey showed drive as well as shift
iness at right half. Aiken and Mc
Kay are especially good runners
after they break into the second
ary, where they can dart and twist
away from tacklers. Easter, in
spite of his diminutive stature,
squirmed out of tacklers’ arms re

Baseball Team Begins
Workouts for OSC Game
By BOB REED
The Oregon varsity baseballers
are headed for a tough week of
hitting, running, and fielding in
preparation for the first game of
the Oregon-OSC series scheduled
for this Saturday night.
Following only a two day rest
after returning from the road trip,
Mentor Kirsch plans to continue
lengthy and stiff workouts until
Friday. Emphasis will be placed on
ironing out some of the kinks that
developed during the trip. Noting
the very few chances the squad
had to take batting drills on the
road, Kirsch has placed the power
department first on his list for
special attention.
Team in Fair Shape
The seventeen man Duck squad
returned from their tour late Fri
day night in fair shap. Whitey Lo
kan and Dick DeBernardi devel
oped sore arms in Ptillman and
were somewhat ineffective against
Washington, and Don Dibble was
injured in the WSC series suffer
ing a pulled muscle in the leg. He
was unable to play in Seattle,
leaving the team short handed in
the outfield and somewhat weaker
at the plate for those two games.
Commenting generally, mrsci
spoke of different phases of the
trip, and pronounced that to his
satisfaction and also for the play
ers the tour was a good one. The
Ducks lost only two games, won
two from Idaho, and one each
from WSC and Washington. The
one loss to WSC was somewhat of
a hard pill to swallow. After wait
ing all season to come up with
good pitching, Lokan finally
turned in a grand performance,
only to come out on the bottom
end of a 1 to 0 score. The hitters
were definitely not up to par that
day. However, Kirsch remarked
yesterday that if all three dpart
ments will coordinate at the same
time, then the Ducks will be all
right.
Hitting Falls Off
The swatting parade fell off on
the trip, but that was to be ex
pected. Bartle led the downswing,
failing to hit the ball as hard and
as solid as during his performances
here against WSC, Idaho, and
Washington. He contributed a
■home run however, in the WSC
series that was helpful. Comment
ing on the general trend towards
a drop off of hitting throughout

the line-up, Kirsch pointed out
several players who contributed in
the clutches. For the top show in
timely hitting, Kirsch named Hal
Zurcher. Zurcher’s hitting in the
Idaho series was instrumental in
bringing the Ducks two victories.
In the umpire department,
things were not quite so gay. In
Seattle officiating was good, but
in Pullman and Moscow not so
pleasant. The Ducks were unfor
tunate in having a plate umpire
who persisted on calling a third
strike even though the ball clearly
missed the strike zone, and the
players only took half swings, not
even breaking the wrists. Kirsch
said that this happened five or six
tims, and once during a crucial
moment for the Ducks. The team
complained of this, but got abso
lutely no where. In fact, they were
more than happy to get to Seattle.
All Positions
Open on Duck
Tennis Squad
All positions on the Oregon ten
nis team are now open, Coach Her
mit Smith announced yesterday.
In preparation for the coming
OSC match, to be played on Satur
day on the local courts, Smith said
he is declaring the team open, so
as to assure a strong squad for the
Beaver meet.
Smith stated that he expects
most of the positions to be filled by
the same men now holding them,
but he said that the tournament
now in session may shuffle the line
up slightly.
Bob Corgan, out of the line-up
for the past two weeks because of
an abdominal injury, is now back
in action. Corgan will seek the
number three spot which he occu
pied before his injury pushed him
on the sidelines.

Rasmussen,

In Duck Loss
By EL.WJN PAXSON
Although outclassed in tne field,
the Oregon State harrier squad
won every track event but two
Saturday afternoon, as they hand
ed the Oregon cindermen their
fourth straight loss, 83-48. ■
Minus the services of ND sprint
champ Dave Henthorne, the Ducks
were able to salvage only the two
mile and low hurdle races in the
lop-sided contest, with Pete
Mundle and Jack Doyle, respec
t i v e 1 y, collecting the winner’s
share of points.
The Webfoots fared much better
in the field, but what the Orange
men lacked in first place tallies,
they compensated for in seconds
and thirds.
Big Lou Robinson was the only
Oregon double winngr as he an
nexed both the javelin and shot
put contests. Defending division
title-holder Ray Heidenrich, took
first in the discus to enable the
Ducks to make a clean sweep of
the weight events.
The only other Oregon victory
came in the pole-vault, where
George Rasmussen, one of the
coast’s outstanding performers,
threatened the meet record as he
cleared 13’10”, but failed in his
14-foot attempt. The mark is held
by George Variff, Oregon, with a
jump of 14’14”, established in 1939.
High-pointer for the meet was
Beaver Jerry Cole, who captured
both the 100 and 220 in addition
to placing second in the low hurd
les.
