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.
Frosh Nine Sets

team will tangle with the Oregon
State Rooks Thursday afternoon

Only one game in the annual
"little Civil War” series between

four-hit performance by Duck Curt
Barclay enabling the Frosh to
come out on top, 3-2.
Coach Marv Rasmussen an
nounced that Barclay will again
take the mound against the OSC
ers Thursday, and Jack Pyle is due
for Friday action.

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.
