Ducks Nab Northern Division Titles Trenton Huls Pitches Crucial Baseball Win ' Jrr^on s Ducks sewed up tlu- Northern Division baseball championship at Howe field Sat urday afternoon when I'ren ton lluls pitched a five-hit shut out to down the Oregon State Reavers, 4-0. Ry virtue of the victory the Ducks earned themselves a berth in the NCAA Western Regional playoffs which will start at Howe field next Friday after noon. The other entries in the tourney will be Southern Califor nia. Fresno State and Seattle uni versity. Huls, who had been having tumble with his control in games of late and hadn’t finished a tus -l<- In almost a month, was invinc ible on this particular afternoon. The booming OSC bats were com pletely stopped and, except for the fifth, the Heavers were unable to get more than one blngle In any one inning. Wilson Hurls Well Dxk Wilson, the Staters’ prize sophomore pitcher who won over the Webfoots last Monday, was Ralph Coleman’s pitching choice for the all-important league decid ing game. Wilson hurled good ball, giving up only six hits, but he had the misfortune to have one bad Inning and that cost him the ball game. Wilson held the Ducks score less in every inning except the fourth. Don Klrsch’s nine ptlt together two hits, a pair of walks, and an OSC error to tally all their rnns. The big inning started for Oregon when .Jerry Itoss got to first on a walk. John Keller gained life on Wilson’s wild throw to first and both men advanced one haw while first basi iiian Jay Dean was chasing the ball. This put men on second and third with none out. Dangerous George Shaw lined out to Hob Buob at shortstop for the first out but four pitches later the bases were all loaded as Wil son gave Norm Forbes an inten tional haw on balls. Wilson's stra tegy in walking Forbes was a hope that Dick Schlosstein, the next batter, would hit an infield grounder and the Beavers could end the inning with a double play. It whs a good idea but on thin particular occasion It didn't work out na planned. Schlosstein, not in a complying mood, blooped a "Texas League'’ single to right field and Ross came in with the first run of the tilt. Williams Hits Catcher Neal Marlelt gained an RBI as next man up when he grounded out to infield bringing Keller from third. With two outs under his collar, it appeared as though Wilson had everything un der control at last. But Pete Wil liams of the Ducks had other ideas and sent a screaming single to left field to score Forbes and Schlos atcin with the final two markers of the inning. Huls had had some shaky inn ings up until then, but when he found himself with a four run lead lo work on he became very stingy. In the fifth Jim W’ithrow and Bob Buob singled with one out but Huls quickly quieted the threat by forcing Jerry Exley and Jay Dean to fly out to Forbes In right. The Klrschmen tried hard to add to their lead in th“ late innings but could never quite get another score across the plate. In the sixth Shaw opened the inning with a doublet down the left field line but he. along with Mariett, who walk ed wiLh two out, were left strand ed as Williams grounded to the pitcher. In the seventh inning Jerry Roes Clouted a long triple to right field with two outs but was out at the plate when he tried to steal home. John Kel ler's Inning opening double in the eighth went for naught as Wilson and relief pitcher Al (iuidotti put the next three men down In order. With the h'D championship hanging in the balance In the ninth, Huls struck out Doug Wray and retired Jack Stephenson on a fly. This put the Ducks w'ithin one out of the title. Pinch-hitter Norb Wellman prolonged the agony for Huls and his teammates when he poked a scratch double to right, but Rchlosstein pulled down With row's liner down the first base line to end the game. For Oregon the win marked their second straight Northern Di vision title. Last year the Ducks edged the Beavers by one-half game to take the pennant. NORTHERN OREGON . OSC . Washington wsc .

Doug Clement j came from behind to win the mile ! relay and give the Ducks a 49% to 48% victory over Washington,: after one of the most stirring1 races in ND history. Entering the final event — the mile relay — Oregon trailed the i Huskies by one point. Doug Tal-. bout, Gordon Dahkjuist, and Fred Jacobs put Oregon in the lead for the first three laps but Clement fell behind Washington's Stanford Green starting the last 440 yards. But with a great finish, Clement passed Green in the last 200 yards and Coach Bill Bowerman's track men had won Oregon's first XD crown since 1950 and its second in the last 20 years. Oregon emerged with five win ners Bill Dellinger in the rnile; Ken Reiser, upset winner over Denny Meyer in the two-mile: Captain Bob F'aucett in the high jump; newcomer Fred Jacobs, transfer from Santa Rosa JC, in the 440; and the relay team, which finished in the near record time of 3:20.9. Washington also had five win ners, but it was the Oregon depth which paid off. No records were set, but there were many outstanding perform ances. Sprinter Bob Gary of WSC post ed the excellent times of 9.6 in the 100-yard dash, and 21.0 in the ' ----— 220. Jerry Church of OSC won tiw* javelin with a toss of 216 feet 11 inches, Dellinger beat defending champ Bob Fomia of Washington in the mtle with 4:19.4, and Reu-er defeated the heavily favored Mcy. er in the two-mile with 9.24.7.
