Kirsch Pitches
For All-Stars
Many people who attended last
Saturday's baseball game between
the Oregon Ducks and an Alumni
All-Star team made up of ex-Ore
gon players were quite surprised
to see Webfoot coach, Don Kirsch,
playing ball for the All-Stars.
Kirsch started on the pitching
mound for the veterans and lasted
four innings before he was re
lieved. Kirsch also made himself
known at the plate by pounding
out one hit and on another occas
ion laying down a perfect bunt.
Although many people have for
gotten it, Kirsch was an all-Nor
thern Division player in his college
days at Oregon as second base
man.
VVilwn of OSC all have a single
victory and no defeats. Oregon
State's Norb Wellman ha* won
the greatest number of games
with u record of three victories In
four start* arid Norm Forbes of
the Webfoots has picked up two
decision* in three tries.
Hull has the best earned run
average among the regulars at
1.89, Wellman lead* in strikeouts
with 25 and Forbes and Wes Stock
have been the most generous with
bases on balls, giving up 16 each.
Clement Calls Meet
Order of the “O" president,
Doug Clement, announced Tue«
day afternoon that there would
la* an important meeting of that
organization Wednesday noon at
the Itefa Theta 1*1 fraternity.
Clement went on to say that
all members should be present if
possible because plans for .Jun
ior Weekend were going to be
discussed and some important
decisions made.
Duck Diomondmen Oppose
Idaho Vandals in ND Series
i nr wrejjon Ouck* play the
fir-t ^iinc of their Inland Kni
pire invasion Wednesday after
noon when they take on the
Idaho Vandals in the first of
two games slated for Moscow,
Idaho.
I he Ducks, who need to win
at least one game to stay on the I
heels of Oregon State #and j
could definitely use two victories;,
will be favored to take the Van
dals but are expecting some rug- j
ged competition from the Idaho
ans. The Webfoots defeated the
nine of Clem Parberry twice, 7-2
and 4-1, in a series at Eugene a'
lew weeks back, but since then
the Vandals have shown some;
great improvement.
Only last Friday afternoon the
Idaho crew pulled a big surprise
when they handed OSC their first
division loss, 4-0. Ken Hallett, who
; pitched the shutout for the Van-1
dais in this game, iB expected to
open on the mound in the first (
Duck encounter.
In addition to Hallett, Parberry]
will probably open with Jerry
Quane, catcher; Bob Haines, first
hfiM-; Mike Cygler, second base;
Larry Morrison, shortstop; Flip

Kleffner, third base; peg Frazier,
left field; Bob Falash, center field,
and Frank Teverbaugh, right field.
For Oregon Coach Don Kirsch
will more than likely start either
right-hander Norm Forbes or
southpaw Trenton Huls in the first
game. Both boys saw action in the
first Idaho series and looked very
sharp. Forbes won the first Van
dal game at Eugene with a seven
hitter and Huls seconded him in
the second encounter with a six-hit
job, Huls was especially effective,
striking out 15 Idaho batters.
Other Oregon starters are like
ly to be: Neal Marlett, catcher;
Dick Schlosstein. first base; Jim
Johnson, second base; John Keller,
shortstop; Pete Williams, third
ba.se; Jerry Ross, left field;
George Shaw, center field; and
Bob Wagner, right field.
Oregon is quite eager to do rye it
in their six game trek through.
Idaho and Washington and frr >o
the looks of things right now tt
appears that they are going (©
nave to do pretty well on the trip
if they are to say in the runni.jg
for the league championship. Oic
gon State, which is making >\-\
northern tour at the present time,
has to date won two and lost one.
This gives them a two and or.e
ha!f game lead over second pla< o
Oregon and puts the pressure eri
the Ducks to win if they are to
stay in the running.
The Beavers and Webfoots don't,
play their first game against ea< h
other until May 15. By that time
both teams will have complet'd
their games with all other ND
foes.
