Baseball Coach Don Kirsch sent his reserves against Vanport JC Thursday afternoon and the I hicks were handed a 7-3 thump ing by the hustling Vikings. The loss was the first of the season for the Web foot nine. Vanport coupled three hits with two. Oregon errors in the first inning to pusn auuss iuu> runs off starting pitcher Gus Knickrehn and Oregon never got hack in the ball game during the re mainder of the showery afternoon. The Webfoots play Willamette here today in a double-header, and the Portland Pilots there tomor row. The Duck regulars entered the fray in the sixth inning but their bats were ineffective against the slants of reliefer Tom Tebo. Second baseman Gene Danzer started Knickrehm's Knightmare in the first with a double. Gearman, Vanport third sacker, bunted and went all the way to second on Knickrehm’s bad throw to first, with Danzer scoring. A walk to Sheppard and a double by Bafaro, the boy who played Prosh football here in 1948, scored Gearman. Sheppard came in after Daryle Nel son’s error on Bafaro s attempted steal. Amburn singled and then Ba faro scored on a double steal for ttie fourth and final run of the in ning. Third Frame Blank Oregon could not get‘to Vanport starter Don Brown, and Knickrehm blanked the Vikings in the second. The third inning brought Vanport’s final three runs. Shepperd singled, stole second, and scored on Bafaro's double. Ba faro came home on a sacrifice after Amburn was safe with a roller. Brown’s single sent Amburn across tue plate and that was all for Van port, but they had enough. Con Sheffer replaced Knickrehm on the hill at the start of the four th. He blanked the Vikes during his three-inning stint but was in hdt water a good portion of the time. All of the Webfoot tallies came in the fifth inning. Ed Vannet walked, jSiorv Ritchey singled, Joe Tom was hit by a pitch, and Vannet came in as Sheffer was out at first. Jerry Lake attempted to advance the runners with a sacrifice and his ef fort was good for two runs as Jol ley allowed the throw to go past him on first. That’s all.

Duck Thinclan Awaits OSC in Annual Relays By DAVE TAYLOR Oregon’s Webfoot cindermen will go through a light workout this afternoon as the final preparation for the annual Oregon Oregon State Relays on Hayward Field Saturday at 2 p.m. The Ducks will be trying to end a nine-year winning streak of their tratdition fot from the North. The last time the Webfoots captured the meet was in 1941, ire fho oricro in tho fmir-milp when they were still under the tu tulage of the late Col. Bill Hay ward. Oregon’s closest bid came last year when a baton pass in the 440-yard relay was ruled illegal and handed the meet to the Beavers by a 5-to-3 margin. This year, with 12 returning let termen and additional outstanding talent up from last year’s Frosh, the Ducks probably will rate the favored role although four more field events have been added to the annual early season classic. Ducks Favored Six Ways Oregon appears to have the ad vantage in six of the twelve events, with three more rated a tossup, while the Beavers look strong in the remaining three matches. The Ducks’ power lies in the sprints, the 440, 880, mile and two-mile and the pole vault and broad jump relays. Coach Grant “Doc” Swan’s Bea 'Team Not Ducks, But Tigers/ Aiken Savs After Workout Coach Jim Aiken, rounding out his first week of spring football practice, yesterday called his squad “a bunch of fighting Tigers.” Rapid Bill Fell came in for praise from Aiken. Fell ran through the entire de fensive team the first three times he carried the ball in yesterday’s practice. The stocky speedster, now playing in the left-half spot, has suddenly become very adept at run ning through the line on quick op ening plays. A transfer from Gray’s Harbor Junior College, Don FJdart, also drew plaudits from tlig mentor. Eldart and Delmar Clements, from Burns, have both turned in super ior line play in recent workouts, Aiken asserted. An old timer at the Aiken sys tem, Darwin Farnsworth from Ne vada, is currently putting in full time at the right halfback position. Farnsworth played ball for Aiken at the University of Nevada, and was a star there, according to the coach. Gentleman Jim described Farnsworth as a "natural twister.” Defensive Team Rounds Out On the defensive side of things, Bob Carey looked especially good at the safety slot yesterday. Carey has played at this position during recent workouts. And also at a defensive backfield position. Wayne Parsons, up from last fall’s frosh team, turned in a likable performance. Bob Anderson, a right end for the last three seasons, has been shifted to the right tackle position on the offensive squad. In the full back spot, Jerry Peckover and Tom Lyons are fighting for top notice, with Lyons apparently holding the edge, according to the way things now stand. Williams Still Catching ’Em Looking at the aerial side of things, Aiken said the passing of Quarterback Earl Stelle is in good early-season form. On the receiving end, Jake Williams, star of last fall's Frosh squad, caught every pass thrown his way yesterday. Several of the “green” players, Aiken asserted, are catching on to his passing system rapidly, and should develop into good pass-cat chers by the end of spring work outs. The possibility of a practice this afternoon depends on the rain sit uation, Aiken said. If the rains aren’t too heavy, a workout will be held. Jim said he wants to get in a full five days this week if possible. May 20 will be the finale date of the spring season, Aiken said yes terday. On that day, a Saturday, a full style intersquad game will be held, with regular officials, bands in the grandstand, and admission charges. There is also a present possibili ty of a game two weeks before that date. Aiken said this game will be held in conjunction with Junior Weekend, if it's wanted by officers of the Junior class.
