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.
