&*f> Masitin Mecutauti,
I it< Ikt Bailey I'.rcni and lii- (Jrcgon State teammates just
al.oul ,,ut the skids under Oregon’s last chance for some sort of
league title this spring by dumping the Ducks, .3-1, in Tuesday’s
('licoijiiter on tin* local diamond.
I he Webfoots, who pounded out 12 hits in winning last
Saturday s contest by a wild 14-13 score, were able to glean the
. lusty total of f>ve resounding bingles off Brem, whose excellent
control proved too much for Coach Don Kirsch’s charges. The
Beavers themselves only had a total of three safeties, but com
bined one of these with a walk and an error for two runs. The
third OSC tally came on a homer by left fielder Dwane Helbig.
Just One Bad Pitch ...
I lie crowd was treated to an airtight pitching duel for a full
m\ innings, at the end of which time the teams were still
knotted at 0-0. However, Helbig shattered the tie in the seventh
"hen he picked out a slow curve tossed bv Bill Mavs and de
posited the ball on the lower field. It was the only bad pitch
• H-'iys gave up in the seven innings he worked, but it cost him
il.'- game. I he Beavers got one other hit. of the scratch variety
off Mavs.
Of the two Beaver tallies which crossed the plate in the
eighth frame, only one was earned. Catcher John Thomas
batted in both markers with a solid double off southpaw Don
Siegmund. However, Mays drew the defeat as Oregon was al
ready behind when Siegmund entered the game.
< 'felon's last gasp came in the final inning when All-Ameri
can harl Averill, benched due to an injured throwing arm, came
to hat for I’lul Settecase and -lammed his fourth round-tripper
of the XI) season over the hank in left field. It was also his
• 17th run batted in.
It was unfortunate to lose such a well-pitched game by Mays,
who had the OSC batters topping his delivery into the ground
- for easy outs. A glance at the box score will show this. Duck
, outfielders registered a total of only five putouts; on the other
hand, Mays had five assi-ts on balls hit to his position.
Things Look Tough for Oreqon
I»itm was equally effective, ami hail the \\ cbfoots popping
up futilely all afternoon. The tall right-hander chalked up six
strike-outs and walked only two batter-, while the two Oregon
hurlcr- passed a total of 10 Reavers.
Oregon is now faced with the large order of winning both
weekend contests with OSC if they are to win the ND cham
pionship. The fact that the Aggies will be ready to go with
their aces, Don White and Brem, makes things look even dark
er for the Ducks.
; Incidentally, it should be noted that, if Oregon and OSC
split their two tilts while \\ ashington sweeps its four-game
: Inland Empire invasion, the Huskies would sneak in to the
title by a one-game margin over the Beavers. However, it is
doubtful if they can win all four road contests. At any rate,
this column's earlier prediction that the XD champ would have
fbjt and possibly six losses has been proved correct.
Other Spring Squads Fail
Meanwhile, the other Oregon spring sports squads all failed
to come through in last weekend’s XI) tournaments. In the case
* of Coach Bill Ilowerman's track team w hich had been favored
to cop the XI) meet a few weeks ago but which wound up third,
some apologists are pointing to the many injuries to key Duck
cindermen as the reason.
While the loss of such stars as Bill Fell, Ted Anderson, Doug
Clement, et al, was a serious blow to the Webfoots, an Oregon
team at its strongest would still have had a difficult time beat
ing out the victorious Washington State Cougars, who won
their second straight track crown.
The track season is not yet over. The season will reach its
climax this weekend in Kugene, when the PCC meet holds the
spotlight for two days. Fortunately, Saturday’s baseball game
has been rescheduled for 12 noon to avoid a conflict with the
track meet.
On the golf front, the favored W'ebfoot linksmen, who had
not lost a single dual match all season, performed an el foldo
act and limped in behind the Washington and Idaho divoters.
Oregon’s score of 595 was seven strokes behind the 588 turned
in by the Huskies.
Tennis Team Was Consistent
The tennis team was consistent, finishing second in league
dual match competition and second in the ND tournament. As
- usual, Washington swept to the court title which it has lost
only once since league play began in the early 1930’s. Fresh
* man Bill Rose provided most of the Duck points by reaching
the semi-finals before being eliminated.
- Senior Tom Macdonald, who reached the ..semi-finals as a
sophomore and the finals last year, ended his career by losing
. out in the quarter-finals to Washington’s number 3 man, Lou
Wick, in three sets.
Phillips Leads Webfoot Batters
As Decisive Beaver Contests Near
I lie l diversity of Oregon ba
hitting by Kon Phillips, outfi
‘'port-, a healthy .421 hatting av
I he 0 ticks took a 3-1 loss frr
now must win both of their re
maining contests with the Beavers
Friday and Saturday to remain in
the battle for the ND pennant.
The Webfoots are now in second
place with eight wins and five
losses, one-half game behind the
Beavers, who have won nine and
lost five. Also in contention are
the Washinton Huskies, who have
won seven and lost five, and have
four games remaining to play.
So it will l*e an uphill battle for
Don Kirsch’s charges. Three of,
their normally powerful hitters
are now struggling with slumps,
which adds to their troubles. These j
are George Shaw, Sugura, and
Averlll.

IM Managers State
Monday Meeting
There will be a meeting of all
intramural managers on Mon
day, May 2G. The meeting will
lx* held at 4:00 DST in Room 114
of the Men's PE Building.
There are three main issues to
be taker up at the meeting. The
first concerns the eligibility of
freshmen to participate on the
intramural athletic teams of
fraternities while the freshmen
are still living in dormitories.
This year frosh were prohibfted
from playing on their house
teams, but during the season
some disputes arose as to when
the rule did and did not apply.
The second point of business
will be the question of whether
or not bowling shall be continued
as a full-fledged intramural
sport, carrying with it points
toward the grand IM Trophy.
Thirdly, there will be a dis
cussion of the proposal by track
coach Bill Bowerman that the
regulations for eligibility in in
tramural track be loosened.
IFC President Jack Hutchins
stated that if any house presi
dents have suggestions as to
how the intramural rules should
be changed, they should call him
at Beta Theta Pi before the
meeting Monday.

Correction
Tuesday’s Emerald story on the

rather than to a senior, and ex
actly $90.
