Ducks to Meet Pioneers
In Second Game of Season
The University of Oregon base
ball team, weather permitting, will
play their second game of the 1954
season tills afternoon, Tuesday,
when they boat the Lewis and
Clark Pioneers in a a o'clock tus
hie at Howe field.
The Webfoots, who downed Ore
gon Htate last Thursday afternoon
5-3, were rained out of two week
end games which they were sched
uled to play in Portland.
Monday afternoon the ball field
was very muddy and it appeared
rather obvious that It would take!
much sunshine Tuesday morning ^
to dry it out enough for it to be
ready for action by 3 o'clock. j
Little Is known of the strength '
of the Pioneers, whose only game
this season was a 11-0 loss to OSC. '
Against the Heavers the Portland-1
< rs showed very little strength In
either tho field or at the plate. ■
However, It wars their season open
er and the fact that they were fac
ing the ace of the Oregon State I
mound staff, Norb Wellman, may j
have had much to do with the lop
sided outcome of the fracas.
Coach Don Kirsch of the Ducks
will probably stick with the same
starting line-up that he used
against the Leavers last week and j
if he does the starters will be: Neil
Marlett, catcher; Dick Schlossteln, ]
first base; Jimmy Johnson, second
base; John Keller, shortstop; Pete]
Williams, third base; Lernie Aver-!
Ill, left field; (Jeorgo .Shaw, center
field: and Bob Wagner, right field.
On the pitching mound Kirsch
will more than likely use his prize
letterman right - hander, Norm
Forbes. Forbes was the leading
Duck hurler last year and was
scheduled to start one of last week
end's games if they hail been play
ed.
Kirsch will no doubt do some ex
tensive substituting in the Oregon
games this week which number
five in all. He has many good re
serve players on hand and he
wants to give everyone a chance to
nail down a starting berth who de
serve! the opportunity.

parks. That was the worst showing!
in ten years. The league has taken i
several steps to improve this situa
tion. Jt has lifted the ban on ac
cepting optioned players from the,
major league clubs and on working I
agreements with the big leagues.
Two other attractions have been !
brought back which should add to1
the attendance record. There will
be an all-star game this season and
the post-season play-offs are back
again.
For the first time in ever so long
all the teams will make their offi
cial 1954 debuts in daylight. But
Los Angeles and San Diego will
do a night encore at the border
