75-man squad has been divided in
to two teams, the Whites and the
Greens, with the first and third
elevens combining for the former,
and the second and fourth strings
making the Greens.
Aiken predicted a high scoring
contest, with a slight edge given
to the whites on basis of their
greater experience. A determining
factor may be the quarterback

Two Frosh Hit Homers
As Linfield Falls, 21-7
By SAM FIDMAN
Uncorking a 16-hit batting at
tack, Oregon’s F r o sh baseball
squad overwhelmed the Linfield
Junior Varsity yesterday at Mc
Minnville by a score of 21 to 7.
The hitting barrage featured
home runs off the bats of Catcher
Eddie Artzt and First Baseman
Don Peterson. Peterson’s blow
came in the seventh inning with
Brad Fullerton on base, while
Artzt poled his four-bagger in the
fifth with no one aboard.
Bob Palmer hurled eight and one
third innings for the Ducklings,
and was relived in the last stanza
by Joe Elkins. The Linfielders
shelled the Frosh offerings for 13
safeties, but only in the ninth inn
ing could they muster up a real
threat. At this point, with one a
way, Elkins came in to put out
the fire, which had flared up with
four runs.
This was the second Duckling
triumph over Linfield this season,
the first being a 10 to 2 on lower
Howe field.
Linfield’s starting pitcher, who
happened to be named Miracle,
couldn’t produce one in his six inn
ings of toil, as Barney Koch’s ter
rors devastated him for 16 of their
21 runs., Included in Linfield’s
hitting attack was one four-mast
er, which made a total of three
hit during the afternoon.
Koch’s charges, who now have a
season’s record of six wins against
only three defeats, headed for
Portland immediately after the
Linfield slaughter was over. They
are slated to meet Vanport college
in a double header this afternoon
on the Vanport lot.

Golfers Ready for ND Finals
By KEN JOHNSON |
Spectators will be treated today
to a Northern Division golf tour
nament that promises to be the
best of all time. The teams tee off
at 8:30 this morning on the Eu
gene Country club course to decide
the champion of northern teams
and to pick the squad which will
travel to the National Collegiate
Athletic association playoffs.
All competing teams practiced
on the newly lengthened course yes
terday to get the feel of their clubs
after the journey here. Washing
ton, Washington State, Oregon
State, Idaho, and Montana will
fight it out with the favored Ore
gon squad for top honors.
OSC Rated
Oregon State, previously under
rated, won a match with Washing
ton State Thursday which, coupled
with another season victory of Ore
gon, labels them as a team to
watch.
The highly-touted Washington
divoteers are rated about even to
Oregon but the Webfoots are given
a slight edge because of experi
ence on the home course. Washing
ton features such golfers as dimin
utive Ed Draper and Jim Mallory,
both long-hitting, smooth-stroking
boys. Draper was medalist in the
Washington-Oregon match earlier
in the season and has not been de
feated in Northern Division golf
this year.
Oregon will claim such stars as
