i teams on Getlinger field at 4:30
p.m. today.
l-Maying "come rain or shine,"
. 17 feminine faculty members will
take on teams from Highland and
Rebec Houses, plus a WRA team

game will last three innings, bar

• each of the. student teams going
at it for one inning.

her biceps and strolled away
humming “There'll Be a Hot
Time In the Old Town Tonlte.”
Golda Wickham has been named
manager of the team. She was

Alto for PCC Title Contests

the 1953 Northern Division base
ball crown, held an intra-squad
scrimmage Tuesday afternoon dur
ing a light downpour of rain in
preparation for the Coast Confer
ence diamond playoffs against
Stanford’s Indians in Palo Alto
California.
No official scoring was done
during the session, and all of Ore
gon's top four hurlers took a turn
on the mound. Trent tfuls opened
the contest and was followed by
Bill Blodgett, Norm Forbes and
Stan Dmochowsky. The whole
squad looked pretty good consid
ering tjie long layoff they have had
from regular competition.
Off To Stanford
Thursday morning the Oregon
team leaves for Stanford by air
plane, and will open the Coast
j Payoffs with the Indians Friday
j afternoon in a single game. The
second contest of the best of three
series will be played Saturday, and
j if a third contest is necessary an-1
> other nine inning tussle is sched- j
. uled for the same afternoon.
The Ducks will enter the play- |
offs with a regular season’s rec
ord of 16 wins and 5 losses. Three
of the defeats were suffered in
conference action.

complete season show Co-Captains

Theta Chi Tennis
Team Beats Fiji
To Enter Finals
By virtue of a 2-1 victory over
Phi Gamma Delta Tuesday after
noon, Theta Chi's intramural ten
nis team earned the right to meet
Hale Kane in the net finals to be
played at 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. today.
HK Downed ATOs
Hale Kane entered the final
round by defeating Alpha Tau
Omega.
In Tuesday’s match, Roy Karr
of Fiji downed Joe Almand of
Theta Chi in three sets, 4-6, 7-5,
0-1, to take the singles and put
his team in the lead.
Theta Chi came back strong in
the doubles, however, and won
ooth matches to enter the finals
Doubles Were Deciders
In the first doubles, Jack Faust
and Dave Lenz defeated Don Stark
and Lee Rogers of Fiji, 6-4, 6-2 in
straight sets.
The second doubles proved to
be tougher for Theta Chi, and
the victors were forced to go to
three sets to gain the victory.
The winning duo, Gordon Badg
ley and Arlen Joseph, downed Fiiis
Neil Mathison and Roger Zenek
6-4, 9-11, 6-3.
the only Duck regulars to finish
the season above the .300 percent
age.
Bill Blodgett and Trent Hul3,
both used primarily in relief by
Coach Don Kirsch, lead the staff
in wins and earn run averages.
Blodgett won 4 while dropping
none, and Huls chalked up three
wins against nary a loss. Earned
run averages for the two were
0.68 and 1.93 respectively.
Leading hurlers for the Web
foots in conference play, and
the two workhorses of the staff
were Norm Forbes and Stan
Dmochowsky. Forties won five
and lost two, with four triumphs
in conference play, and “Dmoch”
collected three wins, all in league
competition, against two losses.
Forbes is expected to get the
starting nod for the first game in
Palo Alto, and Dmochowsky should
open in the Saturday contest. Web
foot pitching paced the Webfoots
to the Northern Division title, and
• •
the moundsmen will have their
hands full when they match wita
with the power laden Indian nine.
Tight defensive play has also
been a great asset to the sopho
more studded Oregon squad, and
the Ducks showed great spark
during the season in winning sev
eral contests after having trailed
in the early innings.
Bob Murphy, who collected
nine victories against a single
loss, during the Indian’s pen
nant drive, is expected to open
the series for Stanford. Phil
Page, a southpaw, will probably
get the second game starting
assignment.
Stanford possesses a power lad
en ball club paced by Jack Shep
ard, rated one of the West’s top
catchers, and Co-Captain Chuck
Essegian, who is noted for his
home run hitting. The Indians are
rated as the best hitting club of
the two.
