Chi Psi Trims Kappa Sigs, Sig Eps Beat Sherry Ross By CLYDE lAHLMAN It was tie-breaking day Tuesday in intramural softball action as eight teams advanced respective win-loss columns. All but one game featured the breaking of scores knotted earlier iu. the season. Most important game on the slate was the Chi Psi-Kappa Sigma play-off for the championship of League Two. Chi Psi snared the honors with a smashing 11- Ivictory. In other games on the day's schedule, Sigma Phi Epsilon top pled Sherry Ross 6-2, Westminster t pped Gamma 2-1, and Stan Ray won over SAE by forfeit. t’hi 1’sis Ramble Chi Psi opened the scoring pa rade in the first inning as two runs crossed the plate on three walks and pitcher Jim Hayden's double. To errors, a wild pitch, a double by Chuck Rufner, and a triple by Pret Holt produced three more runs for the Hilyard street crew in the second inning. Kappa Sigma retaliated with one run i nthe bottom half of the inning on a walk, an error, and an out field fly. The Psis sewed up the ball agrne in the top half of the fourth as two errors, singles by Rufner, Hayden, and John Chaney, and a triple by Tom Wrightson produced six runs. Hill Deatherage and Frank Coth rell tied up in a true pitcher’s battle for two and one half innings, but the fireworks exploded in the bot tom half o fthe inning when West minster rallied on an error and singles by Ben Yyons and Morris Weakley. This explosion broke a 1-1 tie game played earlier i nthe season. For six consecutive innings in an early season ball game the Sig Eps and Merrick Hall had fought to a 2-all tie. Yesterday, however the seventh inning was a slight devia tion from the rend as four Sig Ep runners crossed the plate on an er ror, two walks, and a single by Rex Young.

Broadway Webfoots Tackle Pacific Badgers On Forest Grove Field Tonight I Track Squad Trains for ND Meet Saturday; 18 Man Limit Imposed Track Coach Bill Bowerman will run his charges through a light “tune-up” today in preparation for the northern division track meet on Saturday in Seattle. Time trials and general loosen ing up will be the general order of today’s workout. There is an 18 man limit on schools attending the ND meet. Lineup Listed Bowerman has announced the tentative list for the Seattle hike. It reads as follows: In the sprints, Bill Fell, Dave Henthorne, Mitch Cleary, A1 Bullier, and Jack Countryman: in the half-mile, Walt McClure; mile, Art Back lund; two mile, Pete Mundle; hurdles, Jack Doyle, Dennis Sulli van, Jack Smith.... weights, Bob Anderson, Chuck Missfeldt; and jumps, Woodley Lewis, Lloyd Hickok, Don Pickens, Mary Ras mussen, Manager Jack Garnet will also make the trip. For 18th man on the squad Bow erman will choose between Jack Hutchins and Dave Kolden. Hutch ins, outstanding sophomore in the 880 and mile events, has been troubled all season by a sore leg, and hasn’t come along as well as Bowerman had hoped. Tuesday’s workout was light. Bob Anderson dampened rumors about an injured rib with tosses of over 150 feet in the discus. Best toss was 156 feet. Javelin hurler Chuck Missfeldt also looked exceptionally good in Tuesday’s workout. George Varoff, Oregon pole vaulter of 1938, held the world record in this event. Five Days Left For Grid Work; Game Saturday Five days of practice remain to fill out Football Coach Jim Aiken’s 30-day spring practice stint, and the fifth day this week will see the annual spring intrasquad game. The coaching staff for this game will be: For the Green team, Buster Mc Clure and Jim Berwick. For the White team, Dick Wilkins and John McKay. Game time Saturday is 2 p.m. Aiken promised that fans will see a type of play which is more wide open than has been featured at Ore gon in previous seasons. This will be especially true next fall when he has his full team, Jim added. Several Stars Out Fans won’t get to see next fall’s team this Saturday by a long shot. Missing will be Bob Anderson, Chet Daniels, Dick Patrick, Bill Fell, Chuck Missfeldt, and a few others. These men are out because of vari ous reasons, which range from in juries to track duties. No hard scrimmages will be held for the remainder of the week, Aiken said. Left End Jake Williams will be ready to play, after having recover ed from a leg injury. Aiken hinted that, with Williams in the line-up, fans may get to see his compara tively new end-around play. This play has not been used to any great extent in previous Aiken seasons, but with a tricky runner like Williams on the end spot, it is figured to be well used next fall. Hanns to Start Beneath Lights It’s baseball under the lights to night for Don Kirsch’s Ducks when they meet Pacific's Badgers at Forest Grove. The contest is a tuneup for the final series of the season this weekend against the Oregon State Beavers. Kirsch plans to start Jim Planns on the mound in the Webfoots’ sec ond #encounter of the season with the Badgers. Oregon copped the first one at llugene behind the hurling of Lyle Rogers and Stan Aune. Hanns will be going into action after taki'.g some rude treatment from the usually weak Oregon State College bats this past Friday at Corvallis. The big right hander will have a makeshift lineup be hind him at Forest Grove, for sev eral of the Duck regulars will be busy with tests. Infield Changed One of the changes could be at shortstop, where outfielder Ray Stratton may start in place of Ray Coley. At third, Nick Schmer is slated to take over the duties of Don Kimball. The rest of the in field will have Phil Settecase on first, slugging Daryle Nelson at second, and Jack Smith behind the plate. Mouse Owens, Johnny Jones, and Joe Tom will divide the out field pastures between them. The Oregons will be hoping to strengthen their power at the plate before facing Ralph Coleman’s Orange nine on Howe Field Friday. As for the past weekend, it sim ply was a case of the hit-starved CSC batters finding themselves in that first game, according to Kirsch. The Beaver bats returned to a whisper on Saturday, however, and the 6-3 triumph for the Aggies should have been reduced to 3-1 as far as earned runs are concerned.
