Wet Field Keeps
Webfoots Inactive
Wet grounds caused cancella
tion of Tuesday afternoon's sched
uled doubleheader with Linfield
college and thus crushed Oregon's
last hopes of getting in some final
practice before their Northern Di
vision opening game against
Washington State, Friday after
noon, April 16.
The Ducks, who were slated to
put the final touches on both their
batting and fielding in Tuesday's;
tussles, will have to hope that they
are ready when they take on the
Cougars. They have only been able
to get In four of their scheduled
ten pre-conference games.
Kirsch was disappointed that
the Webfoots were rained out of
their tussles with the Wildcats
because he had hoped to give his;
pitchers a little more experience
under actual game conditions. The i
Duck throwers are going into N.D.1
competition with very little work j
behind them.
Hills Isooked flood
Of the three main pitchers,;
Norm Forbes, Trent Hula, and
Hill Blodgett, seven innings of
hurling is the most any one of
them has done. Forbes saw seven j
innings of action against Lewis!
& Clark last week while Huts'
tossed four and Blodgett fivej
frames in the season opener
against Oregon State.
Of these three chuckera, only
Huls was very impressive in his
opening stint. He unfurled four

consecutive innings of hltless ball
at the Beavers and, although he
was wild much of the time, he
waa very effective when the plea
sure waa on.
Blodgett gave up three run#; and
five hits in his brief appearance
against OSC. He looked good at
timea but indicated that he still
needed more work before he would
be ready for N. D. play. Blodgett
waa figured to pitch a few pip
ings against Linfield for his final
warm-up.
Forbes, the pride of the Web
foot pitching :taff of 19.03, found
the going pretty rough in his 1954
debut as he was raked for seven
runs and twe lve liita aa the Ducks
fell to Lewis arid Clark 7-2 in the
first game of their twin bill last
Wednesday afternoon.
Despite his poor performance in
his first contest, Forbes will prob
ably get the starting assignment
in one of the WSC games. Either
Blodgett or Huls will start in the
other one.
Hitting Much Better
In the hitting department j
through the non-conference slate j
things looked much brighter. Of |
the Oregon regulars, six players
are hitting over .300. The team is
paced by George Shaw with a .43b
percentage compiled on seven hits!
in IS times at the plate. Shaw’s
blows include one double and one
triple.
Following the Duck center field
er in the percentage column are
Bob Wegner and Ron Phillips.
Both have averages of .333.
