Important Diamond Clashes
Ducks Face Idaho
In Two Game Set
Oregon's Ducks, resting in
third place in Northern Divi
sion standings with a one won
and one lost mark, will take on
the Idaho Vandals at Howe
field Wednesday afternoon in
the first of a two game scries
which could go a long way in
foretelling just what kind of a
title contender the Webfoots
are going to have this season.
Game time Is 3 o'clock.
Don Kirsch's Oregon nine split |
a two game set with Washington
State last weekend and needs to
take both tussles from the Ida
hoanH if they are to stay close on
the heals of Oregon State and
Washington for the league lead.
Coach Clem Parberry's Vandals
got off to a very poor start this
season as they found both OSC
and Washington to be formidable
foes. But Idaho has shown some
flashes of capability which could ■
prove dangerous for the Ducks In
this pair of games.
Fitlasli Hits
Parberry has some very good i
players on hand. Third-baseman
Flip Kleffner and shortstop Larry I
Morrison have both looked very j
good in contents thus far. One of
the best hitters for the Vandals
has been Bob Falash, the basket
ball guard, who plays center field.
Falash smashed out three hits iri
five trips to the plate against the
Beavers In their game Monday
afternoon.
Second-baseman Mike Cygler
has been another top-sticker for
Parberry's crew. In the first three,
division games for the Vandals
Cygler batted right around the
.500 mark.
Weak Pitching
Pitching, has been the big weak
ness for the Idaho nine in their
losses to date. The Vandals have
always managed to produce plenty
of runs but their hurlers, once
given a lead, have been unable to
hold it.
For Oregon Kirsch was well sat-1
isficd by the hitting of his team
but was a little disappointed with
the fielding in the last Cougar
game when the Ducks committed
five errors.
In their six games to date the
VVebfoots have a more than sat
isfactory batting percentage of
.301. The Ducks have hit safely 58
times in 193 official times at bat.
Amongst their hits have been five
home runs, four triples, and six
doubles.

.Shaw Leads Ducks
Center-fielder George Shaw con
tinues to lead the Duck hitting
parade with a lofty average of
■4r>8 compiled on 11 safeties in 24
tries. Shaw has four homers, one
triple, and one double to his credit.
Next leading sticker is first
baseman Dick Schlosstein with
eight for 22 and a .364 average.
Schlosstein has clubbed one four
baser and a pair of doubles in the
extra base department.
Outfielder Ron Phillips is third
in batting among the regulars with
seven hits in 21 times at the plate
for a mark of .333. Phillips’ blows
have all been singles.
Kirsch will probably start right
hander Norm Forbes against the
Vandals in the Wednesday game
with Farrell Albright a possible
relief choice. Forbes pitched the
Duck win over Washington State
last Friday, allowing only two
hits. ,

Anderson to Miss
Cinder Competition
Track coach Bill Bowerman re
ported late Tuesday night that
Ted Anderson, star Duck sprinter,
will be out of action for at least
two weeks with a case of virus
pneumonia.
Bowerman went on to say that
it is possible that Anderson may
be out the rest of the season be
cause of his illness. Ted has had
trouble with a bad cold for the
past week and early this week it
took a turn for the worse.
Anderson's presence on the
Duck track team will be sorely
missed. Last year he finished
third in the PCC track meet and
he was expected to give the Ducks
lots of points in this year's meets.
Ducklings Rap Eugene

lead held by the Eugene high men.

ler Ron Whittaker. John Lundell,
Blake Maddox, Hoy Chase, Jim i
Pingre, Ken Bond and Torn Crab- j
tree each collected a blow off*
Whittaker.
During the first four innings the *

Jim Hansen to build a 2-0 lead, j
Oregon Bowlers
In National Meet
The University of Oregon bow- j
ling team is now awaiting results!
from the East to see how they j
came out in the National Inter
collegiate telephonic kegling tour-j
ney which was played Monday;
afternoon.'
Lou Bellisimo’s team played far
below their par in their series on
the Duck alleys and as a result
they are very much in doubt as to
whether they will retain their
claim to the national champion-:
ship which they won last year in j
a close decision over Purdue uni
versity.
The Oregon team rolled up a
I total score of 3,516, which includes
each players handicap. Bob Boyle
led the way with 781. He was fol
lowed by Don Hannu with 730.
Jim Ekstrom with 705, and Norm
Ruecker with 695. Champ Husted,
the fifth member of the team, had
such a hard time getting started
in his first two games that he was
replaced by Leo Naapi for the
third and final games. Husted
racked up 456 points in the first
two games and Naapi added 149
in the final.
Bellisimo said he thought that
the University of Washington
quintet was one of the top teams
in the country and could be a pos
sible threat for the title.
The Ducklings retaliated in the
fifth and sixth innings. Two runs
were scored in the fifth and three
in the sixth. In the sixth, Richie
Costi, Maddox and Landed led off
with singles to fill the bases. Chase
grounded out to first to score Ma.t
dox. Pingrc then singled home
Costi and Lundell to end the
scoring.
Whittaker gave up seven bases
on balls. Hansen gave up six and
Terry Maddox yielded one.

Sorry, Ted
In Tuesday’s copy of the Ore
gon Daily Kmerairi we printed a
section of our “Duck Tracks ’
column on Oregon’s 440-yard
dash man, Ted Anderson, titled:
“IVhat’s Happened to Ander
son ?”
We must say, we certainly got
an answer in very short order.
Within two hours after the Em
erald had found its way into
readers’ hands, letters began to
come in from obviously offend
ed supporters and friends of Ted.
It seems that in last Satur
day’s meet with Washington,
Anderson had a very bad cold
and was in no condition to run,
But, great competitor that he is,
he went to the field and took
part in his favorite race any
way. His illness no doubt ac
counts for his poor showing in
the race in which he failed to
place.
We offer our sincerest apolo
gies to Ted and his followers if
we have offended them by our
writing. Also, we hope that An
derson will refrain from taking
part in any more track meets ,f
he eser gets as sick as he must
s ha\e been last Saturday after
noon. Although we admire bi*
' spirit it is not good for hi»
; health.
