Cohen Tops in Averages, RBI;
Mills, Krause Spark Moundsmen
PACE-SETTER—That’s A1 Cohen, Oregon’s crack shortstop, who
thus far is leading his mates in batting and mns-batted-in. He’ll be
out to get his share of hits against Washington this weekend.
Now settled at the top of the
Northern Division standing's with
four victories in as many starts,
I Oregon's Ducks next point for visit
I ing Washington, and they’ll have
their batting eyes peeled to give the
Huskies a fine welcoming.
AKT McLAliNEY’S boys will
rate as underdogs, particularly af
ter the way Oregon swept through
and past Washington State.
However, the Huskies just finish
ed a two-game series with Idaho,
and they won both tilts.
As for the Ducks and their peel
ed batting eyes, the team is hittnig
a healthy .310, which, as they say,
is good in any league.
AT THE TOP, with a phenom
enal .556 average, is shortstop A1
Cohen. The black-haired All-ND
Webfoot captain slashed Cougar
pitching into fine ribbons, amassing
six hits in eight trips.
In addition, he is far ahead in
runs-batted-in with 13.
Johnny Kovenz, with .429, is sec
ond in batting, and also in RBI,
with four.
SID MILLS and Mel Krause,
each with two victories, lead the
pitchers. Mills has a 2.57 earned
run-average.
Only in fielding do the Ducks
look shoddy.
Their average as a team is .934,
which, though bad enough, is still
quite a bit ahead of their opponents,
who are fielding an errory .886.

Oregon Rated Underdog
In WSC Meet Saturday
Although hampered by rain
during the early part-of the
week, Coach Bill Bowerman’s
thinclads ran through their reg
ular midweek clockings yester
day afternoon as they prepar
ed for dual meet with the
Washington State Cougars this
Saturday in Pullman.
THE DUCKS will he rated as def
inite underdogs on this Inland em
pire invasion for the Cougars are
loaded with experienced lettermen,
particularly in the distance match
es, the Webfoots’ most vulnerable
spot.
Coach Bowerman’s invaders al
most always have to concede these
points to every opponent in the
Northern Division.
Oregon’s pole vault team, George
Rasmussen, Don Pickens, and
Lloyd Hickok, look like the Ducks'
main pillar of strength and could
sweep the event in every meet.
ANOTHER POTENT place in
the Lemon-and-Green lineup is the
century with Dave Henthorne, A1
Bullier, and Bob Weber blazing the
way most ably.
A big question facing Coach Bow
erman will be whether Lou Robin
sttn, the Ducks’ leading shot putter
and PCC javelin king, will be able
to compete in the Palouse meet.
Robinson injured a hip muscle in
spring football practice during the
Monday afternoon workout.
EARL STELLE, Bowerman’s
number two stick man, and Bus
Newcomer will have difficulty fill
ing up the gap if Robinson is un
able to compete.
In last week’s dual meets, the
Cougars annihilated Montana State
107 to 24 while the Webfoots turn
ed in an impressive 76 y2 to 54 y2
triumph over the Idaho Vandals.
Frosh Netmen
Defeated 4-2
In their initial match of the sea
son, the Oregon frosh tennis team
suffered a 4-2 setback at the hands
of Corvallis high school yesterday
afternoon.
Crippled by the loss of Oregon
champ Tom' MacDonald and the in
eligibility of two other players, the
Ducklings were able to cop only
two singles con'teststs.
