Oregon Meets Huskies Today Kirschmen Risk ND Title Hope In Seattle Series Oregon’s itenerant Ducks, pres ently feeling pretty chesty over the ■fact that they are nestled in first place in the Northern Division standings, initiate the last series of "their extensive road swing this af ternoon when they cross bats with .Washington in Seattle. For Don Kirsch and his boys, the, series, which winds up tomorrow, affords a last chance to strike back at a team that earlier in the year humiliated them before a partisan Eugene crowd. The score in that game was 19-4. In an effort to square matters, Kirsch figures to send Mel Krause against the Huskies, hoping that the speedy hight-hander will have better luck than in his last three outings. It was Krause in fact, when Washington so heavily pum jmelled down here, and ever since the usually masterful Melvin has not been too masterful. He’s been ehelled from the mound in all his recent outings, but chances are that things will break his way today and that his luck will turn. Anyhow, this is what the Ducks are banking oa . Despite the fact that they rank third in a four team league at the moment, Art McLarney's Huskies .are a formidable, though green out fit. IN BILL ANDRING they have the loop’s leading swatter at .542. Bob Tate, crack second baseman, is bounding along at a .400 clip, with K. Chorlton’s few strides arrears at .£71. Already assured of at least an even break on their Northward journey, the Ducks have captured three victories in their last four starts. A split with Washington is all that is actually needed to set them i«l> for the stretch drive which mat ches them with Oregon State in lour games. Last night’s defeat of Oregon State by Washington State hacked the Webfoots’ lead to a shaky one lialf game. Frosh Netters Split Matches With Corvallis Oregon's Freshman tennis squad gained an even break with the vis iting' Corvallis High School netters yesterday on the local courts. The Frosh split the four singles match es as well as the two doubles con tests. Duckling singles winners were John Kerns, who trounced Jim Rod riguez by a 6-2, 6-1 count, and Mar tin Meadows, who battled from be hold to gain a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory. For the Spartans, Pete Schuline •downed Joe Vielbig, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, and Spike Gallico edged Gerald Berreman by a 4-6, 6-1, 3-6 count. Berreman and Meadows chalked up the doubles triumph for the Frosh, handing Schuline and Garry Babcock a 6 2, 6-3 defeat. Rodri guez and Gallico evened matters as they dropped Vielbig and Kerns, 6 -3 and 6-4. DiMaggio's Father Dies SAN FRANCISCO, May 3— (\Pl—Joseph DiMaggio, 69, fath e of Joe, Dominic, and Vince Di Maggio of major league baseball fame, died at a hospital here early Tuesday, Cougars Nip OSC, 10-9 To Gain on Idle Ducks; Set For Game Today PULLMAN, Wash., May 4— (AP)—Shortstop Eddie Coleman's home run in the eighth inning gave Washington State College a 10 to 9 Northern Division baseball vic tory today over the Oregon State Cindermen Prepare For Washington Track Coach Bill Bowerman sent his Webfoot cindermen through their weekly time and distance tests as he prepared them for Sat urday’s dual meet with the Uni versity of Washington Huskies at Seattle. Both track outfits have beaten the Idaho Vandals in previous meets this year, but have also re ceived a setback apiece for a .500 percentage in Northern Division! standings. The Huskies were upset in their opener with Oregon State in Corvallis, while the Ducks were soundly trounced by Washington State on their last outing. “The two teams are so evenly matched,” coach Bowerman said, "that the meet will probably go right down to mile relay before it is decided.” On the Seattle invasion, the Webfoots will be dependent upon the performances of George Ras mussen, Don Pickens, and Lloyd Hickok, the Bib Three of Northern Division pole vaulters, and Sprint ers Davey Henthorne and A1 Bul lier.

For the Best in FISH and SEAFOODS Phone 2309 NEWMAN'S FISH MARKET 58 YEARS IN EUGENE IF IT SWIMS WE HAVE IT 39 East Broadway -Sports Sketch Sports Glory Trail Leads To Smell of Training Room By Sam Fidman Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of two features on the Var sity training room. This article deals with the equipment; the next will handle the personalities involv ed in its operation. When one sport closes its lockers for the last time during a season, the seniors on the squad iron out a few lumps in their throats and real ize that their college days are ov er. Statisticians compile the results, and publicity-minded organizations present awards for athletic achieve ments above and beyond the crowd ed realm of mediocrity. In the training room, void of the satisfaction of personal publicity, it is not so much the individual sport as it is the individual athlete that counts. Each kink, sprain, bruise, • and scratch is taken care of as thor oughly and methodicallly as funds and equipment permit, and each athlete is nursed through every ache and pain just at though he is the man that is going to score the winning touchdown, or drive in tne run that wins the ball game—and sometimes he is. THE TRAINING ROOM itself, a bewildering but organized maze of bottles, tape, gauze, lamps, rub down tables and odd-looking mach ines, is divided into two sections. Heavy with the smell of analge sic balm, the olde rsiecotn shrdlut sic balm, the older section is used for massages and rub-downs, whirl pool baths and serves as the office. The newer part, which was carved out of an adjacent corridor, con tains a battalion of lamps, leather covered benches and a massive sweat-box. Presently considered standard equipment, the training room fea tures three whirlpool (hydrother apy) tanks used in the treatment of limbs gone haywire. The seething water, slightly hot er than luke warm, relaxes and massages the arm or leg simultane ously.
