Huskies Top Tennis Team; JV Wins OSC Golfers Pull Upset at Corvallis By MARTIN MEADOWS The University of Washing ton’s unbeaten tennis tea m handed the Oregon Ducks their fourth straight defeat at Seattle Saturday by a 6-1 score. The defending champion Huskies snared four of the five singles contests and swept the doubles in posting their third conference vic tory. The only Webfoot able to notch a triumph was Tom MacDonald, Oregon’s threat for the northern division singles championship. Mac Donald hooked up in a three-set struggle with Hugh Preston and came out on top by scores of 7-5, 2-6, 6-4. Duck Eosers The remaining Ducks, Bob Men sor, Cameron Thom, Bill Williams, and George Boyd, were swamped in straight sets, as were the doub les teams of MacDonald-Mensot and Williams-Thom. The match was the final one of the season for Oregon, which wound up with a 4-5 mark. The last action of the year foi Coach Robeson Bailey’s netters will take place at Pullman this week end when they engage in the northern division playoffs. Dan Cudahy, who missed the last two matches due to a sore arm, will probably be able to make the trip. JV Tops K Falls Oregon’s junior varsity tennis squad concluded its season with an abbreviated 4-0 win over a crippled Klamath Falls high school team here Saturday. The Pelicans, playing without the services of their first and third men, were unable to win any of the four singles matches played. The Duck winners were Jerry Earde, Merv England, Herb Chin, and Jerry Berreman. It was the fourth decision in five starts for the Webfoots. The doubles contests were can celled by agreement. Willamette Juniors Defeat Frosh ;l-0; Vanquish EHS 6-5 in Saturday Play Boxing Facts Offered By Coaches This is a continuation of a storj printed in Saturday’s paper undei the byline of Clyde Fahlman. The story dealt with information on in tramural boxing as explained bj coaches from other universities. A1 York at the University of Vir ginia writes: “We follow the NCAA boxing guide for all our rules. The only departure is that we box one (1) minute rounds instead of twe (2) minutes. With any kind o! training a boy can last through c one minute rounds, but it takes lots of sweat to last 3 two minute rounds. We feel you hurt your pro gram if the last round of your bouts end in TKO’s or the boys are sc tired they can hardly lift theii hands.” One of the best boxing coaches in the country—DeWitt A. Portal at San Jose State—sent a 70 page booklet on the pugilist sport at the California college. In a closing comment he wrote: "... best wishes for boxing at the Unievrsity at Ore gon.” These are only a few extracts se lected ah random, but they show how other schools have worked out a program for boxing. Intramural Derby With Herby; Softball Playoff to Start Wed. Track, Bowling, Boxing, Popular By C. HEKBY FAHLMAN luir von chillin' that didn’t send representatives to the 1M meeting yesterday afternoon, here is the scoop. First item on the agenda was the selection of teams for the 1 M softball championship playoffs. They start on Wednesday; ail 0 >ening round games are billed for 4 o'clock and will go the full seven 1 inings. On the north field Theta Chi will meet Beta Theta Pi. On the south field Lambda Chi Alpha meets Phi Gamma Delta. It will be t le winner of league two (Chi Psi or Kappa Sigma) vs. Phi Delta Theta on the upper field. Campbell Club draws a bye in first round competition. it will be championship day Sat urday on the golf links as Theta Chi and Sigma Nu battle for the IM golf crown. Stan .Bay and Alpha have ad vanced into the quarter finals In IM tennis. Results are not known for the ATO-Merrick and Phi Delt Summie matches. Now for the major news (as far a:i this reporter is concerned). The history angle: Up to 1940 fjur sports a term were featured fi intramurals. Touch football, s reedball. and “A'' and “B'' volley ball were played fall term; "A" a id “B” basketball, handball, and wrestling were featured wintei term; and track, golf, softball, and tennis were played spring term. However, in 1910 the inter-fra ternity council passed a resolution, asking the intramural managers oi all living organizations to cut down the IM program to three sports a term. The resolution was voted up on by the IM managers at that time, ami it was decided that three sports a term was enough—and j that is the way it stands today. But now, three additional sports have come into the lime-light: bowling, boxing, and track. With the opening of the Student Union building next fall there is a I strong possibility that the bowling alleys could be used for IM bowl ing. However, players and teams would have to pay their own alley I fees. Herb IM ill, student representative has proposed an IM boxing pro gram for next year. If this plan was carried through, it would prob ably lead to iutercoliegiate boxing liven tnougn DUCKtmg min er Don Allen threw a three-hit ter at them, its wasn’t good enough, and the Willamette Junior Varsity shutout the Ore gon Frosh Baseball team, 1-0, yesterday afternoon on the var sity diamond. Allen, an Everett Junior College transfer making his first appear ance for the Lemon and Green, pitched the full nine inning route and struck out 13 J.V.’s in the pro cess. Allen’s only flaw was a streak of wildness in the second inning. He allowed Willamette second baseman Skimas to single. Skimas movari to second on an error and eventually walked across the plate with the winning run following two consecutive walks by Allen. The damage was done and that one run meant the ball game. Lund Looks Good Willamette’s starting mounds ' man, Bert Lund allowed nary a bingle and only faced 17 men in the five innings he pitched. He was re lieved by White in the sixth and he gave up only two blows in the re maining four innings, one being a beat-out bunt by Lee Alvord in the seventh and the other was third baseline single by Jim Barnes in the eighth canto. A change in the regular Duck ling lineup occurred when Ed Sea bloom replaced Herb Cook in cen ter field. The Frosh edged out the Eugene High school nine last Saturday, 6-5, behind the four-hit combined effort of yearlings Pyle and Brown. The victory avenged a previous defeat at the hands of the prepmen, 9-3, earler in the season.

The win sent, the Vandals a game and a half ahead of Oregon State, and two games up on Oregon. The Ducks have a pair of con tests remaining with Oregon State. Idaho has one with Washington on the schedule, and a double bill with Washington State. Only a double win for the Webfoots can keep them from finishing in the league basement. Gridders Ready For Spring Tilt Oregon’s varsity gridders pum melled their way through a three hour scrimmage Monday afternoon on the practice lot, as Head Coach Jim Aiken began pointing for the annual big spring game this Sat urday. The squad will practice every day this week, with the probable ex ception of Wednesday. Friday will be devoted to the an nual coaches’ clinic, during which time the Webfoot gridders will be used to demonstrate plays. That should prove to be a comparatively light afternoon for the Ducks, since pads will not be worn. This last week of spring drill will afford the coaching staff a final look-see at the green ma chine until fall practice. A general summary of Aiken’s findings to date show that the cur rent varsity will be a scrappier out fit than last year’s crew, especially since there is a heavy injection of young blood. The 1949 team was strong in the backfield, and spasmodic up front, but chances are that the ’50 edition will be reversed. The line, both of fensive and defensive, but especial ly defensive, is ferocious—and ef fective. By PHIL, JOHNSON A surprising five under par score of 67 by Oregon State's No. 6 man, Dick Zeigler, ruined an undefeated season for Coach Sid Milligan's University of Oregon golfers Saturday at the Eugene Country Club. The Beavers won 14-13. The Ducks completed the dual meet season with a record of six wins and one loss. Oregon will en ter the Northern Division meet at Corvallis next Friday and Satur day, May 19-20. The Oregon State-Oregon upset clash was featured with unusual performances by the No. 6- men of both teams. Zeigler and Oregon’s Jim Donahue recorded scores of 67 and 71, respectively, to tie for low honors with Teammates Dick Yost of OSC (67) and Ron Clark of Ore gon (71). Ziegler fashioned a 3-0 win over Donahue while Yost out scored Clark 3-0. Oregon Wins A Few Dom Provost of the Ducks card ed a par 72 to deadlock Beaver Bill Macomber 1% to 1 (4- Oregon’s John Prince shut out Bill Paul of OSC 3-0, A1 Riebel dropped Keith Osborn of the Beavers 2-1, and Dave Frey of Oregon routed Lee Lindquist 2(4 to %. Clark Gets Tie Oregon’s lone triumph in the best-ball play was recorded by Prince and Donahue, who defeated Zeigler and Lindquist 2-1. Clark and Riebel tied Yost and Macomber of OSC 1(4 to 1(4, and Paul and Os born manufactured a 2(4 to (4 tri umph over Oregon’s Provost and Frey. Oregon’s undefeated Frosh golf ers won their second victory of the season Saturday by defeating the Oregon State Rooks at Eugene. The Frosh will battle the Lincoln High School Cardinals next Saturday. However, Aiken’s biggest prob lem will come in building a back field out of the right combination of men.

Preston Holt got a single and drove in brother John from third to tie up the game at two all. Then Jensen walked two men in an attempt to facilitate a double play. With the bases loaded and no men out in the last of the fifth John Elorriaga tripled and scored Preston Holt and assured the Chi Psis another chance at the league championship.
