Two No-hit Gaines In IM Softball Play By Doug While Two no-hit bnllgames highlight ed the intramural softball action af a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Bob Hinman's shutout victory for Cherney hall over Hunter was the atiorc impressive of the two. but on the books George Zupan of "Theta Chi did just as well in his 7 to 3 no-hitter against Philadel phia house. The other contests saw Phi Kappa Sigma come out on top of Bhi Gamma Delta 5 to 1; Sigma Ku defeat Phi Sigma Kappa 5 to 2; Chi Psi down Sigma Phi Epsi l«n 6 to 4; and Beta Theta Pi win a tight one from Kappa Sigma 4 to 2. Cherney Wallops Hunter Cherney hall had an all around **ig day of it Wednesday, pound tag out 17 runs, plus receiving the stellar efforts of Hinman and his patching chores. Eleven of those jrims came in the first stanza as tee victors sent fourteen men to the plate. Warren Porter took credit for the loss for the losers, and was replaced in the first in T*ung by Reed King. Strange would be the word for the w ay George Zupan obtained Ills *o-hitter for although he gave up eight liases on balls and let three runs come across for the opponents, no Philadelphian ever reached lease by virtue of a base •tuu. The Theta Chi's themselves only garnpred three hits while amassing their seven run total. One of the better played games of the season took place between Ptii Kappa Sigma and Phi Gamma JUeita. The former, behind the ef forts of Gene Beck and the home j.un clouting of Art Berg, sent five runs across the platter to the Sugar Plum CANDY, MAGAZINES, SANDWICHES 13th & Hilyard have YOU been to Brighter Homes Hobby Shop 858 Pearl St. Fiji's lone counter. That one run occurred in the first half of the seventh inning when Sam Skillcrn connected for a round tripper. The losing pitcher for the Fijis was Fred Mueller. Ball's Homer Tremendous Ken Bali of Beta Theta Pi hit what some of the IM oldtimers consider to he the farthest home run in Oregon softball history. Facing Tom Novikoffs Kappa Sig slants he parked a line drive up on top of the roof of the Hayward Field stands! That was just one of the four runs the Betas man aged to get in their 4 to 2 win over Kappa Sigma. A1 Mann was the winning chucker in this contest while Novikoff took the loss. Getting two runs in each of the first two innings, Sigina Xu down ed Phi Sigma Kappa 5 to 2. It was mainly through the stylish slants of Jack McBee that the Sigma N'us managed to take the contest. Dave Mikkelson took the rap for the loss. Last but not least in the softball action was the game between Chi Psi and Sigma Phi Epsilon. The Chi Psis started out like a house on fire, scoring five runs in the initial frame of play. That was too much for southpaw Ekstrom of Sig Ep. for although he pitched well from that point until the end of the game, his mates were unable to glean more than four counters from the offerings of Ted Dunbar. Chi Psi hurler. Bowling Lessons To Be Given in Slf The information in Wednesday's article on SU bowling lessons was erroneous.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON CO-OP STORE Casanova Back For Spring Drill Encased in a heavy cast, but able to move under his own power, Head Coach Hen Casanova put in his first appearance at Oregon's spring football practice Wednes day afternoon. The greying mentor returned Wednesday by train from San Jose, California, where he has been resting after an operation for re moval of a spinal disc performed April -t. Casanova l’leased Casanova rode to the practice field in a station wagon, and emerged with one cast on his back, and another on his right leg. He moved about fiom lineman to backs, and told the 60-odd grid hopefuls that he was pleased with their enthusiasm and hustle. Wednesday marked the third scheduled drill out of tile 20 al lowed by the NCAA. For the first time, some live body-contact scrimmage was on the agenda. The final thirty minutes of the hour and three quarter session was L.EN CASANOVA occupied liy running several ground plays against a regular ; defensive forward wall with line backers. The timing was naturally rough after the long winter lay-off, al though several backs ran hard. Offensively, line blocking also left something to be desired. Novikoff Looks Good Tom Novikoff, the fullback mainstay of the 1901 VVebfoots, picked up his form quickly, and looked impressive at his rushing chores. Farrel Albright, a freshman who perfoimed for Coach Bill Bower man's JV outfit last season also flashed potent running in the short but rough scrimmage. In the line, taekles Charlie Laird and Don Hedgepeth, guards Ken Sweitzer and .John Keed, plus end Hal Reeve, all looked effective. Sweitzer has been shifted from end to guard In an attempt to bolster the talent-shy middle of the line. Mr .

The Ducks have managed to win only six of the 17 previous meets, the 1951 engagement going to the Cougars, 08 2/3 to 02 1/3. Several meet marks are in jeop ardy judging by the capabilities and previous performances of some of the Webfoot thinclads. Among those records most likely to be erased by Oregon trackmen are the two-mile run mark of 9:43.0 set by WSC's Dick Paeth in 1919, the mile relay standard set by the Cougar team of Millard, Richard son, Deck and Elsehen in 1951 with a time of 3:18.2, and the javelin record of 220 feet 1/8 inch set in 1910 by Oregon’s Boyd Brown. Ducks Strong in Two-Mile Wayne Reiser’s second place finish behind the record-breaking run of Washington's Denny Myer in the two-mile jaunt puts him in the category of a potential rec ord-beater. Veteran distance man Fred Turner is also capable of knocking over the two-mile mark.
