Duck Diamond Crew Splits
With Washington State Nine
Bin k Bailey’s Washington State
Cougars took good advantage of
costly Oregon errors last Saturday
afternoon on Howe field to down
the Ducks 11-8 and earn an even
two game split with Don Kirsch s
favored nine. The Webfoots won
the first game on Friday by a 10-1
score.
Five Duck errors were the big
contributing factor as the visiting
COugars pushed over nine runs in
the first three innings of action
and continued to lead throughout
the ball game as the host diamond
force fought furiously to catch
up.
Two towering home runs by
George Shaw helped the Kirsch
men creep up to within shouting
distance of the Staters late in the
game but the Ducks didn’t have
quite enough push to equalize the
' arly inning scoring onslaught by
the Cougars.
Blodgett Lose*
Bill Blodgett started on the
mound for the Ducks and was
charged with the loss although he
only lasted until midway in the
second frame. Trent Huls, Farrell
Albright, Bill Gamer, and Norm
Forbes all succeeded Blodgett to
the pitching hill.
In the Friday game it was a
much different story as the Ducks
ran roughshod over their oppon
ents, 10-1. Paced by two home;
r uns by Shaw and the fine two- i
hit pitching of Norm Forbes, the
Webfoots completely outclassed!
the visiting nine.
Shaw, who connected for four
round-trippers in the series, hit
his first on in the fourth inning i
with Neil Mariett on base- and this!
gave the Ducks their third and
fourth markers of the game. His
•■econd came in the sixth when he
powered a 380-foot drive to left
field. In all for the day, Shaw
drove in six runs and scored three t
himself to be the main factor in
the decisive Oregon win.
Sehlosstein Hits
Another first game four-baser
was clubbed by first-sacker Dick
I Sehlosstein. For the series Schlos
-tein hit very well, getting four
[hits in eight times at bat.
John Keller and Neil Mariett hit
i triples during the two games for
the Ducks and Bob Wagner,
Schlosatein, Jerry Roes, amj
Porbts connected for doubles.
By virtue of their split with th*
Cougars, Oregon rests in third
place in the Northern Division,
standing*. Washington and Oregon
.State are tied for the league lead
with two wins each without a
lost.
Webfoot Netfers
Lose to Portland
Portland university scored their
second straight shutout win over
the University of Oregon tennis
team Saturday when they downed
the Ducks 7-0 on the Duck courts.
The Pilots had far too much
class for the host of Webfoots and
during the afternoon of play tfco
netters of Bob Laurence could win
only one set. Dick Gray and De n
Bonime managed to pull one set
out of the fire from the Pilots’
Jerry Doyle and Dick Walsh be
fore going down to defeat.
