The Ducks open defense of their league crown in a two game home series with Wash ington State, Apr. 16-17. • Oregon State has already play ed one game this season, that being Tuesday afternoon. They wallop 1 ed the Lewis and Clark Pioneers, 11-0, behind the one-hit pitching of strong-armed Norb Wellman. Many Veterans The Beavers will bring to Eu • gene a team composed of many veteran players from last year’s squad which finished second to only Oregon in N. D. action. Be sides Wellman for hurling duties, the Orangemen can boast such out standing lettermen as Jay Dean, first base; Chuck Fisk, second ^ base; Bob Buob, shortstop; Hay Hothatrom, third base; and Jim • Buggies, left field. k Several outstanding newcomers , will no doubt see plenty of action I for the Corvallis crew. Sophomore Jerry Kxlcy has looked especially good in practices to date and is Just about a sure starter in !h< center field position. Two more inexperienced men have been battling it out for the starting job in right field. Dick Is bell and Tony Vlastelica, OSC bas • kctball star, are Just about equal in ability and will probably both see some action for the visitors. Thomas Missing In the catching department, where big John Thomas Is missing because of graduation, Jack Ste phenson will get. the opening call. .Starting on the mound for the Beavers will probably be one of two sophomore hurlers, Dick Wil Kon or Italph Carroll. Wellman could possibly see some action, also. Kor Oregon, coach Don Kirsch will more than likely start one of his lettermen chuckers. If he chooses to do this, either Norm Forbes, Bill Blodgett, or Trenton Hulls will get the call. I'robable Starters In the other starting spots Kirsch will probably have either' Neil Marlett or Don Hedgepeth at catcher; Dick Schlosstein, first baae; Jimmy Johnson, second base; George .Shaw, shortstop; p(>te Wil liams, third base; Hon Phillips, left field; Jerry Ross, Jim Archer, or Ron Reland in center field; and i Bernie Averill, right field.
