Oregon Hitters Pound Out 14-1 Opening Victory By John Whitty Four home runs combined with the almost flawless hurling of Ore gon pitcher Don Siegmund to give the University of Oregon base ball nine a 14-1 victory over the hapless Cougars of Washington State in the Duck's ND opener Friday at Eugene. The big Eugene left-hander limited the men of Buck Bailey to a mere six hits, scattered over five innings, and gave up no earn ed runs to the visitors. Ducks Hlt Well The only run scored by WSC came in the first half of the eighth inning, when Bill Mayberry singled. Boucher reached first base on Settecase s error, and Mayberry scored a moment later as Bud Boytz grounded into what would have been the third out. Four round-trippers added ex citement to the one-sided contest, as Ron Bottler and Siegmund each clouted homers, and Earl Averill, the Ducks' All-American slugger, smashed two tremendous four baggers. Oregon picked up two runs in the second half of the first frame on a walk, a single, and Ron Bott- J ler’s double. teams. As the score mounted in Oregon’s favor, Bailey's remarks became less and less humorous. f Please turn to page eight) Widow’s peak!

After the second win of the season Coach Sid Mulligan feels that the Oregon squad is a very strong contender for the Northern Division cham pionship. Oregon built up a lead of 8-1 In the morning's best ball action and from there had to hang tight in order to maintain the winning margin. At the finish the two teams split a match play with 9 points apiece.

The 17-year-old freshman from Boise, Ida . w suited up in the tenth Inning of the thirteen-stanza marathon when Coach Don Kirsch flashed an SOS for a pinch runner, the third of the inning. Perfect Drag Hunt He was the nineteenth Duck to put in an appearance, but he full- - ed to accomplish his mission in the tenth or in the twelfth. Left hander Hod Keough, the Cougar's third chucker, bore down and fanned Phil Settecasc and Pitcher Stan Aune with the potential win ning run on third in the tenth. Johnson whiffed to open the twelfth frame. But In the hoi«4^ half of the thirteenth, Norval ltlt-V chey bloped a single into center field and advanced to third on George Shaw's drive drive to left which was misjudged by Terry Sparks. Shaw raeed to second on the throw-ln. Second baseman Daryle Nelson ! who had been horse-collared in six trips, was deliberately passed to clog the sacks. With the infield drawn up on the grass, Johnson dragged a 15-foot hunt along the first base line. First sacker Bob Boucher picked up the ball on the run and fired to catcher Ron Koepcr, but Ritchey slid in ahead of the throw. Aune, the fourth of four Oregon pitchers, was in hot water in t^c top half of the panel. With one down Koeper rammed a line single to center for lys fourth safety in six times at bat. Koeper was push ed to second when short stop Jack Hardman rapped to third base; Karl Averill made a gloved-hand stab of the ball and nipped Hard man by a stride. c Lucky Ducks Keough, the pitcher, lofted a high pop-up to the left of the mound. Nobody called for it, but Settecase, the first baseman, made a beluted pass at it. The ball kick ed off his glove. He recovered in time to toss to catcher Ron Bott ler, who tagged out the stocky Koeper. The Ducks were lucky; they could have lost and they almost did. It took a miraculous, four run rally in the ninth to carry the contest into overtime. Joe Sugura led off with a sinking liner to left center. Bottler walked and Averill rapped a one-baser to left to chase across .Sugura. Settecase was safe on a fielder’s choice and Averill, too, when Hardman hobbled Glen Kran/,’ throw at second base. Dat ’Ole Debbll Bailey Ritchey, a reserve outfielder, was called upon to bat in place of pitcher Bill Mays.
