U of O CO OP STORE Ducks Buckle Down for Idaho Attack ^!4e <A*o-t St<we By MARTY YVEITZNER Last year the outfield of the Philadelphia Phillies looked pretty well set. There was the fleet Nebraskan Ritchie Ashburn in centerfield, flanked by power men Bill Nicholson and Del Ennis. When the season ended, Manager Eddie Sawyer figured to have the same crew around on opening day 1950. Right now he isn’t so sure. The reason for his hesitance is a recent acquisition, Oregon’s own Dick Whitman. Whitman came to the Phils direct from Branch Rickey’s snake pit over in Brook lyn. It seems as if Dick spent 1949 getting into Mr. Rickey’s doghouse, and he who does that is soon traded or given a one way ticket to the furthest possible piece of Dodger property.

In his stay in the majors he managed (if we exclude last year) to keep close to the .300 mark. His big fault was his ability to hit only singles, while contemporaries Duke Enider, Gene Hermanski went for the fences. * The moral of the tale is that the latter are still in Dodg er livery while Whitman is now seeking to impress new owners. In 1948, while with Montreal of the International league, Dick at tracted the eye of Clark Shaugh nessy, president of that loop. At the conclusion of the season Clark remarked that Whitman was one of the few men in his league that showed major league possibilities. Last year, infrequent appear ances and injuries cut down the efficiency of the former Webfoot outfielder. He was used chiefly as a pinch-hitter and compiled a batting mark that was slightly higher than his body weight. The grandstand Dodger-worshippers turned their thumbs bottoms down on Whitman and so he is now a Phillie, via the $10,000 waiver price. In his late twenties, Whitman can be of great help to the Phils. His biggest defect is an arm of questionable ability and the lack of a distance bat. The former is (Please turn to page eight) Spudmen Fearsome... After a light practice Monday, acting-Coach Don Kirsch will send the victory-flushed Oregon Webfoots through the scrim mage mill today in preparation for this weekend’s two-game home stand against the suddenly fearsome Idaho Vandals. Head Coach John Warren, who is still at Sacred Heart Hos Kappa Sig Crew RuinsAlphaHall In Track Clash Kappa Sigma spilled Alpha Hall 47-12 in an intra-organizational track meet Monday. Two records were broken, although one was disqualified because of “jumping the gun.” Chet Noe threw the shot 41’ 3”, breaking Darhl Davis’s mark of 39’11”. The disqualified mark was set by the Kappa Sig relay team which ran the relay in 16.2. However, the official 16.7 mark still stands.

A Poor Patient His wife, Fran, described War ren as “much improved.” Still weak, and suffering from an aggra vating cough, he has been a “poor patient” because of his anxiety to rejoin the maple-wood Webfoots. In Monday’s drills at McArthur Court, Kirsch sent his regulars to the showers after a few minutes of shooting practice as a reward for their two-game sweep last week end. The reserves went through some harder work, but today’s scrum will be an all-out affair. In their toodo with the pesky Vandals, the Ducks will be fighting ' for revenge of a two-game edge that the Spudmen piled on during Oregon’s winless Inland Empire tour.
