DUCK TRACKS / By SAM FIDMAN Emerald Sports Editor I he Fourth annual N. C. double A. baseball tournament (the College World Series) has been awarded to Omaha's new Mu nicipal Stadium, with play scheduled to begin on th'e night of June 15. Each of the eight N.C.A.A. district winners will be com peting for the College Championship of the United States—which is a long, long way from Don Kirsclvs front door because of a collection of diamond specialists known as the University of Southern California Trojans. The first of these college tournaments was held in 1947 at Kalamazoo under the auspices of Western Michigan College. That year Yale represented the four districts East of the Missis sippi River and California the four western districts. The Berke ley Bears brought home the bunting. Bulldogs Get It" Again The following year, Yale was in it again, but once more went back to New England with nothing but expenses to pay, as Southern California came through with the championship" The 1949 tournament was a four-team affair at Wichita, Kans., won by 1 exas, and this year the Association has decided that eight teams, one from each district, would make for an ideal set-up. Officials are hopeful that the tournament will pay for itself, ,, 7lth thC main sources of revenue at the Omaha ball park coming from gate receipts, radio, and television. When the Washington State College Cougars go against Montana State s trackmen this Saturday, they will be sekieng their 18th consecutive dual meet win over the Missoula contin gent. r he meet will be on the Montanans' home track. The Coug ars expect the Grizzlies to put up a “much stiffer fight" than last year when the Pullman crew won, 107 to 24. Baseball in Eugene leaves the “grapefruit” status this week end when the Webfoots square away against Buck Bailey’s WSC diamond dusters Friday and Saturday. “Bloody Buck” will be opening his bid for a fourth consecutive Northern Division crown, but he has to rely on “inexperienced sophomores” to make up the bulk of his mound staff, according to wails drifting this way from the Pullman lair. Lose Three Vet Hurlers W ard Rockey, five game winner last year, and Dick Stiles, seven game winner, along with relief hurler Arnie Torgeson, are lost through the channels of graduation. That was the collection of “arms” that carried the Cougars to their third straight title last psring. Gene Conley, sophomore basketball star who belabored the O leg on basket with field goals during the now expired hoop era, is rated as a top prospect. The 6 foot 8 inch Richland, Wash., lookie is reputed to have a wicked curve ball in his mound reper toire. ' An interesting note on the past basketball wars is the fact that the “Wooden Wonders” of UCLA broke 15 different rec ords during the season, as they disheveled all Southern Division opposition for the second straight year and copped the PCC crown for the first time in their history. 'T' Shirts or BVDs John Warren, Oregon’s basketball helmsman said that Clair Pee had shown some interest in bringing his Long Island Uni versity Blackbirds West next season. The whole affair is un official, since W arren and Bee exchanged tit-for-tat in personal correspondence channels, but Warren answered the LIU chief tan that the W ebfoots would be willing and ready should the New Yorkers decide to barnstorm up Eugene way. The Blackbirds took a pair from Oregon two seasons ago at McArthur Court both thrillers; the LIU squad took more than the usual share of verbal lambasting from the over-partial Igloo crowd—but they won both nights. Any way, the Blackbirds were the last visitors, except for Idaho, who wore “T” shirt uniforms—a sign of good dress_in contrast to the B\ D style more commonly worn on the maple court. WSC Invades Valley (Continued from page four) Cougars have won nine games and lost two. Wins have been chalked up over North Idaho College of Ed ucation, Whitman College, Univer sity of Idaho, Great Falls Selec trics, of the Pioneer League, and the Spokane Indians of the Western International league. The only losses have been to WThitman Col lege. Prior to the opening of the Nor V them Division race, Coach Buck Bailey will select his traveling moundsmen from the following: lettermen hurlers—Adrian Joris sen, Lynden; Russ Foster, Palouse; and Jerry Compton, Spokane. Sophomore hurlers—Gene Con ley, Richland; right hander; Rod Keogh, Kent, southpaw; Lee Dol quist, Vancouver, and Sonny Gallo way, Exeter, Calif., both right handers.
