Kirsch's Squad Under Lights
At 8:15 in Civic Stadium Tilt
The first night game in the history of Northern Division base
ball will get underway at 8:15 tonight, when the University of
Oregon Wcbfoots meet the Oregon State nine at the Civic
Stadium. Students will be admitted on their student body
cards.
It will be the first meeting of the season of the squads.
Oregon State is currently residing in fourth place in the con
fcrence, with a record ot three
victories against four defeats. The
Webfoots are in second place, and
the only hopes for an Oregon pen
nant lie in sweeping the four-game
series with Oregon State that con
cludes the season for both.
Starting pitcher for Oregon will
probably be DeWayne “Swede”
Johnson, the converted football
player, who boasts the best mound
record of any Webfoot hurler
Johnson has won three games, a
gainst no defeats, pitching a one
bitter for his first victory. John
son is a left-hander.
Opposing Johnson will likely be
Chuck Sauvain, another portsider,
top hurler for the beavers last
spring, and again leading his team
mates this season. Sauvain set
down the Washington Huskies in
bis latest start, 5-1, in handy fash
ion, allowing only five well-scat
tered hits.
Dick Bartle, still batting a tre
mendous .400 after a bad time with
pitchers in the Inland Empire in
vasion, will be on first base for the
Ducks, Walt Kirsch will be at sec
ond, and A1 Cohen at shortstop.
Coach Don Kirsch must decide be
tween Don Kimball and Kay Strat
ton, both of whom have seen an
equal amount of action this spring',
at third base. Bill Burgher will
catch.
John Kovenz will handle the left
field duties, Hal Zurcher is set for
center, but Don Dibble, regular
right fielder, will be out of the
lineup because of an injury he suf
| fered on the road trip The choice
| will be between Pat Wohlers and
' Norm Henwood.
All of the Oregon pitchers have
had at least a week’s rest, so
Kirsch will have plenty of material
to fall back on for this first con
test. The Ducks meet Oregon
State again Monday at Corvallis.
Oregon Hurdler Recalls
Record-Tying Prep Time
By DICK MASK
Every state prep track meet
til ings back fond memories to Jack
Doyle, Oregon’s number-one hur
dler this year. One reason is that
lie tied the state high hurdle mark
in 1946. By that time, this feat of
winning blue ribbons in the state
classic was old stuff to Jack, who
had won four out of four, previous
to his record-tying effort.
Jack had been gunning for the
record all through his prep career
and would have broken it easily had
lie not hit two hurdles which slowed
him down considerably.
“When they announced the time,
14.9, I was disappointed at first,
but afterward I was glad I tied the
tiling,” Jack said.
While Jack attended Hillsboro
high he competed in football, plac
ing on the TVY all-star team, and
also played basketball.
“Everything is different between
running hurdles in high school and
college. The low hurdles are two
yards farther apart and the highs
are three feet higher.” declared
Doyle. “I have to alternate feet
going over the lows now, where I
jumped off the same foot in high
school.”
The 19-year-old, who would be
the last to be satisfied with himself,
rates several Northern Division
hurdlers as much better than him
self. He includes WSC’s Fran Pols
foot, Washington’s Burke, Mon
‘ tana’s Dan Yovetich, and Idaho’s
Taylor. What makes it tough is
that all are just sophomores ex
cept Yovetich, defending Northern
Division champ, who is a junior.
Granted that they arc better
hurdlers than Doyle now, give the
Hillsboro sharpie time and Oregon
may have a sure winner in the |
hurdles. Winner or not, likeable
Jack will always be an excellent ex
ample of giving it the “old college
try.”

Washington State its third de
feat of the current Northern Di

Golfers Hit
Ags Today
At Corvallis
By KEN JOHNSON
Oregon’s golf, team will write
finis to Northern Division play this
afternoon when the Ducks meet
OSC at Corvallis.
The last match between the old
rivals ended in a decisive 20-7 vic
tory for Oregon on the Eugene
Country club course.
Only one defeat has marred the
Webfoots’ season record and that
was a three-pointer to Washington,
division leaders. Oregon's golf that
day was not as good as it has been
and the Duck linksters may yet
come through with the goods in the
Northern Division playoffs May 22.
Ducks Favored
Today’s match should cause the
Webfoots no trouble. They have
been playing top-notch golf all sea
son compared to OSC’s unimpres
sive record. The Beavers have sev
eral inexperienced golfers on the
squad who have blown up when the
going got tough. „
Although the other OSC boys
may be ruled out as ineffective,
Ralph Dichter, the Beaver first
man, has shown himself to be hard
to beat. Stafford had a tight match
all the way with Dichter and beat
him only by firing a string of bird
ies when the chips were down.
Playoffs Due
Following the final match, Milli
gan’s fairway experts will continue
to qualify for positions on the four
man Northern Division playoff
team. Almost sure to make that
team will be Stafford and Provost,
while the other two positions will
be fought for by A1 Riebel, Rod
Taylor, A1 Crosbie, Bruce Fischer,
Bob Sederstrom, and John Prince.
Any one of these boys is capable of
making the team, and it will be just
a matter of who happens to shoot
the best golf next week.
Prospects look good for Oregon’s
playoff chances. The Duck divot
eers have been close to par all
year and a par-shooting team is
tough to beat. Add to that the fact
that better weather means better
golf and you have the possibility
that the Webfoots will be shooting
par and sub-par golf before the
season is over.

Webfoot Freshmen Take Two
Overtime Games From Rooks
By SAM FIDMAN
Barney Koch's Oregon Frosh baseball team made it three
out of four over the Oregon State Rooks yesterday afternoon,
as they ground out two extra-inning victories, 5-4 and 1-0.
Several hundred spectators looked on at lower Howe field as
the Ducklings’ Lyle Rogers and Aggie Bud Berg exchanged
five and six hit pitching performances respectively. Both went
the route, but Brad Fullerton’d
long fly ball in the eighth inning,
scoring Peewee Welch, broke a
four-four deadlock and produced
the Duck win.
The Kochmen ran up three
scores in the second inning on no
hits, to take the lead but the
Hooks came back in the next
stanzas, with Bill Schoonover re
placing Hanns in the ninth as one
man was out and two country
cousins were roosting on the base
paths. No Rook was able to reach
second base against Schoonover,
as he held them hitless

in the fourth on singles by Rogers
and Bill Hays, scoring catcher
Ken Bennett who had walked. In
their half of the fourth, the Rooks
pumped in one run as Dale Gra

The Aggies went down in one
two-three order in the first half
of the overtime frame, but the
Ducklings produced the clincher
as Welch lined a single to left and
took second on a passed ball by
Bobo Clingman. He went to third
on first baseman Don Peterson’s
timely sacrifice, and roared home
on Fullerton’s hefty smash to deep
center field.

Frosh can be summed up by Bob
Bonebrake’s single in the fourth,
and Chuck Humble’s hard hit
double in the ninth. For the Rooks,
the entire game produced a double
in the fifth, and a one base hit in
both the seventh and eighth inn
ings.
Schoonover Doubles
In the last of the tenth, after
Hays and Catcher Eddie Artzt had
fanned, right hander Schoonover
laced a double to right field, and
scored on Welch’s solidly hit single
to deep center field. The Ducks
might have put the Rooks out of
their misery in the ninth when
Bonebrake drew a walk and went
to second on another passed ball
by Clingman. The Duckling third
sacker took too long a lead off
base, and after evading a three
