    Bowlers Claim
National Title
Local Keglers Tip Boilermakers
To Earn Mythical Championship
University of Oregon laid claim
to the mythical national intercol
legiate championship yesterday as
a result of a close telephonic vic
tory over the Purdue Boilermak
ers, kingpins of the Big Ten.
The Big Ten has long been con
sidered the hotbed of intercolleg
iate bowling and the winner of that
league has previously claimed the
mythical top place in the nation.
Oregon earned the title of North
west champion early in April when
the Ducks came out first in a
tournament of eight Washington
and Oregon schools.
Texas A and M, titlist in the
southwest, and California, recog
nized as the top bowlers in the
southwest, were invited to enter
the competition, but declined.
Close Score
Oregon's victory margin was a
scant 29 points, 3494-3465. Four
games each were rolled by the five
men teams.
Coach Lloyd Valleley's Purdue
squad turned in fhe two top in
dividual performances. John O’
Hara rolled the highest series for
the Boilermakers, 751; and Lou
Seimia had the highest single
game total, 243.
Oregon’s top scorers were Norm
Ruecker, with the highest series,
732, and Jim Ekslrom, with the
highest game, 225.
Complete Oregon scores were:
Leo Naapi, 201, 158, 181, and 175;
total, 715; Ekstrom, 145, 225, 168,
155, total, 693; George Troeh, 196,
199, 148, and 142, total, 685; Sam
Sorenson, 173, 157, 146, total, 476;
and Norm Ruecker, 152, 167, 221,
and 192, total 732.
Bruce Koppe bowled Sorenson’s
last game and knocked down 193
pins.
The loss of Don Hannu, one of
the team members who had helped
Oregon to its Northwest crown,
handicapped the Webfoot keglers.
Bellisimo Oregon Mentor
Lou Bellisimo, Student Union
recreational director, coached the,
Eugene bowlers to the mythical
title, and also guided them to their
regional crown.
The university's howling team
has gone undefeated in the last
two years against all college com
petition.
Beavers Meet Favored Ducks
On Hayward Field, Saturday
By Jim White
Emtrald Sporttwrtur
The Oregon State Beavers come
to Eugene Saturday to perform in
the Spring Sports day in a track
meet that is not tabbed to be
bright for OSC. The Aggies have
lost four meets in a row to Bill
Bowerman's Ducks and there
seems to be little evidence for a
different outcome this year.
Coach Hal Moe will bring some
of the brightest stars in the north
west along with a team that has
proven themselves one of the
weakest in the conference.
Such outstanding performers as
Meiv Brock, who holds the all
time sprint record at OSC, Ralph
Sutton, PCC javelin champion, Jim
Holmes, one of the division’s top
pole vaulters, and John Witte, an
outstanding weight prospect, will
take the field against the Ducks.
From there on the Aggies’ out
look gets darker. Don Chambers,
their ace hurdler has gone from
bad to worse this season and is
no longer a conssitent point mak
er. Except for three or four field
events, OSC has no depth and in
the distances they can field only
one top runner. The Beavers have
failed to win a distance event this
year.
Oregon and Oregon State met
earlier this year in the annual OSC
relays. No score was recorded but
Oregon captured 12 of 15 events.
Web foots Beat
Bearcat Squad
Oregon fought off a late-inning
Willamette rally, yesterday at Sal
em, to defeat the Bearcats, 10-6,
in the final non-conference game
on the Oregon schedule.
Trent Hulls started on the hill
for Oregon and gave up only one
run to the Salem team in seven in
nings. With Oregon ahead, 7-1,
Bill Blodgett came in for Huls
in the eighth, and gave up five
runs to the Willamette nine.
Oregon put the contest on ice
in the nine, however, with three
tallies in the top of the frame. Jim
Livesay, who hit four for five,
highlighted the uprising with a two
run homer.
Earl Averill got another big blow
for the Ducks, a two run triple in
the fourth.

Seattle UP) — Oregon State de
feated Washington, 9-1, in Seattle
Tuesday to win its sixth straight
Northern Division baseball game
on the road, and strengthen its

ence.

for Washington, but six Husky
errors contributed to the loss. Bob
Boub, Oregon State second base
man, was the top hitter with three
singles in four times at the plate.i
Jack Pinion of Oregon State and
John Garner of Washington both
hit doubles.
Oregon State led all the way
behind the pitching of Bailey Brem.

als of the intramural softball
