baseball team wi11 open its
1951 season this afternoon,
1 Inir- <lay, when they host their
traditional rival, Oregon State,
in a .3 o’clock diamond clash at
Howe field.
1 he Ducks, defending Xor
thern Division champions, will
be out to get off to a winning
start In their opening tussle
against Ralph Coleman's powerful
Beaver nine. The game will be a
. non-counting one as fsr as N. D.
play is concerned. 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.
After this game the Ducks will
have two more frays before the end
of the week. On Friday afternoon

University and on Saturday they
take on Lewis and Clark college, j
Both games will be played in Port-i

did Garcia really care
about getting that message?
i hig is the Sad Story of a Senior who
was Serious. About a Girl. In the
straight-forward manner common to
Seniors, he decided to invite her up
for The Big Weekend.
A month ahead, he sat down and
wrote her a Nice Letter. Then he
sat hack and W aited. For three weeks,
with no answer. Finally, alarmed, he
I’honed her.
Cost him $4.25 in quarters. When
the bonging of the Coin Bo* stopped,
all he could hear at the other end of
the wire was a Series of Sniffs.
' Pigeon?” he asked, tentatively. She
wept. "What’s wrong?” he asked.
She sobbed.
’ Oh, Harold,” she wailed, "You
used to send telegrams to invite me
to Big eekends. This year, all I get
is a little old Letter. 1 ou don’t Jove ■
me any more.” And hung. up.
flsrold goes everywhere Stag now.
Says he prefers it that way. But yon
should hear him Sigh whenever he
passes a Western Union office.
As your Telegrammar will tell yon
— (the Telegrammar being a handy;
pocket-size guide to telegraph use
that you can get for free by simply
writing to Room 1727, Western
