Van Helps
Backs; Line
Pleases Jim
After running his varsity foot
ball prospects through a rugged
three hour drill Tuesday at the
practice lot, Head Coach Jim Aiken
was pleased with his hard-charging
line, but somewhat chagrined at the
greenness in the backfield.
Along with the regular spring
coaching staff, former Oregon
great, Norm Van Brocklin, worked
with rookie quarterbacks Leo Gil
net and Milan Radovich Tuesday.
At Aiken's invitation, Van show
ed the newcomers a few of the finer
points of forward passing.
Daugherty at Eml
Letterman Dick Daugherty was
switched to offensive right end for
the scrimmage, and proved to be
one of the best of the wing crop. He
turned in some near-sensational
catches during the afternoon, on
aerials thrown b^Earl Stelle and
Gilnett.
Bob Ashworth drew his coach s
praise for his work at the left half
slot, while Jerry Peckover impres
sed at fullback, and Emery Barnes
continued to play a near-great de
fensive right end game. Bob Ru
dolph, up from last year’s Frosh,
did a big job backing up the line.
Aiken, who leaves tonight foi a
conference of the American Asso
ciation of Physical Education, in
Boise, Ida., commented thnt so fai
lle hadn’t spotted “any All-Ameri
cans, but I think we’ll have a good,
steady team.”
There will be a practice either
Friday afternoon or Saturday, Aik
en said, but probably not both days.
He expects to return from Boise on
Friday.

Duck Nine Drops Linfield, 10-6;
Bowerman Thrashes Limit Rule
ZvioM. Jlelfi...
Oregon's weak-hitting nine took advantage
of five Linfield errors to defeat the Wildcats,
10-6. Tuesday on Howe Field. The win was the
second of the season over Roy Helser's men,
and the fifth victory in six starts of rthe Ducks.
Oregon was held to six by two Linfield hurl
ers, while three Webfoot chuckers
were being touched for a dozen saf
eties. The big difference, as in other
games this year, was the fine de
fensive game sthis year, was the
fine defensive job turned in by the
Oregons.
Both clubs were guilty of several
mental errors, these being nearly
equal to the number of miscues that
went into the record books.
Mel Krause and Jerry Rouw
hurled shut-out ball for' three in
nings but the Ducks got to Rouw
in the fourth inning for half of their
six blows and four big runs.
Singles by Daryle Nelson and Joe
Tom along with an error at first on
Phil Settecase’s attempted sacri
fice loaded the bags. Nelson trotted
home when Rouw issued a walk to
Salter. Tom scored as Coley
grounded out short to first. Ray
Stratton then hoisted a high fly to
deep right, with Settecase scoring
after the catch. Catcher Jack
Smith’s single sent Salter across
the plate, but the tally ended when
Smith was caught off first.
Settecase Doubles
The Webfoots added another run
in the fifth when Settecase’s double
brought Nick Schmer home from
second. Settecase’s blow actually
was a pop fly in back of shortstop
Bob Zuleger. Differences in opinion
as to who should make the play,
coupled with alert base-running,
accounted for the damage.
Krause, who will start against
Washington State on Friday or
Saturday, was relieved by Jim
Hanns at the start of the fifth after
scattering three singles during the
four innings he worked.
Linfield promptly jumped on the
former Eugene High boy for 3 runs.
The Wildcats loaded the bases with
one out and Rouw scored on an in
field out at first. Don Blakeslee’s
single brought Bob Rosenfeld and
Bob Martin home before Hanns re
tired the side.
Some more alert and fleet base
running picked up another run for
the Ducks in their half of the fifth.
Stratton steamed home from sec
ond when thirdbaseman Blakeslee
hobbled Schrner’s grounder. The
ball trickled only a short distance
from the Wildcat infielder, close
enough that few men would have
tallied from second.
Aune in Eighth
Stan Aune took over the Webfoot
mound chores in the eighth and was
greeted with a single by Rosenfeld
and a double by Joe Marsehand.
The Wildcats managed only one run
in the inning despite two more
singles, one by Dewey Halsey and
the other by Blakeslee. Centerfield
Oregon’s Webfoot cindermen will go
through time and distance trials this afternoon
as Coach Bill Bowerman readies his crew for
their initial Northern Division dual track meet
this Saturday against the Idaho Vandals in
Moscow.
Track Meet?
Eugene High on
Frosh Diamond
Oregon’s Duckling Baseball team
will tangle with Eugene High
School at 2 p.m. Thursday on the
Frosh practice diamond.
Saturday they will travel to Cor
vallis to meet the Oregon State
Rooks in the first of four scheduled
tilts.
The Frosh have a one-won and
one-lost record to date, having wal
loped Albany high, 15-4 last Friday
in their debut, only to drop a sloppy
9-3 decision to Eugene High on Sat
urday.
Eugene has one of the outstand
ing prep nines in the state, having
lost only two regulars from the
team that captured runner-up hon
ors in last years state high school
baseball tourney.
er Mouse Owens had a big arm in
holding down the damage as he
threw Rosenfield out at the plate
after a fly out. The one tally was
enough to bring Linfield within one
run of the Oregons, at 6-5.
This evidently bothered the
Ducks, for they pushed across four
runs in the bottom of the eighth.
Walks to Chuck Strader and Sette
case, along with an error on Owens'
bunt, brought in the first one, Set
tecase made it two when Coley’s
single brought him home. A passed
ball brought Owens in, and a wild
pitch did the same for Coley. That
was all for the Webfoots but the
only thing left undecided was whe
ther or not it would rain.
Lewis ami Clark Today
A double by Burr and a single by
Rosenfeld in the top of the ninth ac
counted for the final Linfield run.
The Ducks were without third
baseman Don Kimball, who is out
with a leg injury, but Schmer gave
good evidence that things are two
deep at that spot. The remainder of
the infield also looked ready to go,
as did the boys in the gardens.
The squad is at Portland today
for a final tune-up against Lewis
and Clark before hosting WSC on
Friday. The Cougars open their ND
pennant defense today at Corvallis
against OSC.

R6uw, Wickham (7), and Burr;
Krause, Hanns (5), Aune (8), and
Smith, Ritchey (8).
The Ducks, fresh from a lopsided
victory in the Oregon-Oregon
State relays, will be fighting bitter
ly for positions on the traveling
squad which Bowerman will take
into the Inland Empire.
Sifting the elite talent from his
prize crew will be no easy problem
for the Oregon mentor,since North
ern Division rules limit a team’s
traveling squad to 22 men.
“I have 29 men on the team this
year who are possible point winners
in the Northern Division champion
ship,” Bowerman said, “let alone
an ordinary dual meet.”
Number of men permitted to en
ter the Northern Division meet
from any one school is eighteen.
“Only Financial Keasbns”
“These team limitations exist
strictly for financial reasons,” the
Webfoot coach asserted. “They’re
the idea of the business side of the
ND athletic departments to cut the
expenses of sending their teams to
an opposing campus. These rules
governing team limts add nothing
to the competitive spirit of the
sport.”

OCE Net
Team at 3
Oregon’s varsity tennis squad
will be after its second straight
victory when it clashes with the in
vading netmen of Oregon College
of Education in matches slated for
the local courts at 3 p.m. today.
With all candidates now eligible
to play, the Webfoot line-up will be
quite different from the one which
blanked the Eugene Tennis Club,
9-0, last week.
The number one slot will be held
by Tom MacDonald, former Oregon
high school champion from Port
land’s Grant High.
Cameron Thom, a California Jun
ior College transfer, will hold down
the number two berth for the
Ducks.
Two Lettermen Back
Bob Mensor and Bill Williams,
the only returning lettermen on the
team, will occupy the third and
fourth positions, respectively.
The number five spot goes to
Dan Cudahy, a converted track
man who advanced up the tourna
ment ladder rapidly during the
week, and George Boyd will round
out the singles group in sixth.
The doubles combinations will
pair MacDonald and Cudahy in the
top Duck duo. Thom-Williams and
Boyd-Mensor will form the other
teams.
The Webfoots are favored to
trip OCE in what should be a
warm-up tussle for their Friday en
counter with Portland University.
PhiDeltsl3, Sigma Nu2;
Other IM Tilts Fiery
Six fiery contests were featured
