SpaldinG MORE GOOD GOLFERS PLAY SPALDING THAN ANY OTHER BALL OSC Rooks Defeat Duckling Nine, 7-5 The Oregon Fro.ch bah*:ball team rallied for three runs in the bot tom of the ninth inning last Fri day but their effort wasn't quite enough to pull the Ducklings back in the ball game and Ray Coley’s nine went down to a 7-5 defeat at the hands of the Oregon State Rooks. Syl Johnson of the Rooks seemed to have everything under control going into the ninth with a 7-1 lead but the Frosh wouldn't give up that easy. Doubles by Terry Maddox and Sam Notos and a single by Jack McClenahan plus a couple of costly Rook errors paved the way for the last inning Oregon rally. The spree was stopped by relief pitcher Red Pearce who struck out Jim Davis with two on to end the ball game. Terry Maddox, although touched for 14 hits by the Rooks, pitched pretty good ball for the Ducklings. Many of the OSC hits were of the scratch variety. Maddox struck out five visiting batters. For the Ducklings the loss was their first in five starts. The next action for Ray Coley’s nine comes next Thursday after noon when they host the McChord Air Force base on the Fro h dia mond in a 3 o’clock tussle.
