If you're wondering how to kill the time until June when
final exam? commence again, here are a few suggestions.
Varmint hunting seems to he at a standstill with the grey
diggers and rockehucks not putting in too consistent an ap
pearance in this areft yet, but you can still shoot the cob webs
out of the old leadslinger. •
If you're a scattergun fan why not try skeet or trap?
These clay pigeon games are a favorite pastime with many
shotgun enthusiasts during the time when they’re not shoot
ing holes around pheasants and ducks.
Trap consists of a series of shots from each of five different
stations. A round is made up of 25 shots or five from each sta
tion. The clay pigeon is released anywhere from 10 Jo 26 yards
in front of the shooter, depending upon his ability. The shot
alwav? is at a rising, going-away bird, similar to the cackling
rise of the cock pheasant.
Eugene Trap Range Nearby
There is a trap range at the Kugene Gun club, on west 11th
street, that is public. The gun club holds organized shoots
every Sunday, and anyone can enter.
Skeet is a little closer to actual game shooting. The skeet
shooter makes the round of eight different stations, which
are located in a semi-circle around the two skeet houses.
The birds are released high and crossing from the “high
house." and skimmed along low from the so-called “low
house." The two houses are facing each other, and the birds
are released at a slight angle away from the oppo-ite house.
Skeet call.- for fast gun handling and a quick two shots. An
open bored gun is best and number eight shot seems to he most
popular. The trap gun is usually a long barreled full choke
gun. and number seven and one-half shot is the favorite for
this more deliberate game.
'Skish' Popular for Anglers
The fisherman doesn’t need to stow his rod just because the
spring salmon afe not running too well yet. For him there is
a very popular game called “Skish.”
Skish is played by casting at 30 inch rings placed at dis
tances unknown to the caster. The fly caster casts distances
from 30 to 50 feet and the bait caster chucks at rings placed
from 40 to 80 feet from his casting postition.
The chief factor for Skish’s popularity is that it is played
with regulation fishing tackle. There’s no specialized tackle for
the skisher. Accuracy is what counts, and practice is a must.
Organized Clubs Few
We have been informed that Coos Bay is the closest town
that has a casting club, so that sort of puts the bit to organ
ized skish. But that shouldn’t stop the enthusiastic fisherman.
People may stare when they see you casting on the lawn at
a garbage can, or some other target, but it surely is good
practice. In the few days we’ve spent casting on our lawn,
we’ve had many people stop and express a desire to learn to
cast.
If you want to spend time fishing opening day. instead of
climbing trees to retrieve your lures, you’ve got to practice
and get your reflexes in shape. Here’s where a little casting in
your spare time will do wonders. As the national Skish organ
ization says, “If you can’t go fishing, try Skishing.”

Ducks Trip Portland;
Post 3-0, 6-5 Wins
By Buzz Nelson
Emerald Assistant Sports Editor
Oregon rallied for two runs in
the seventh and last Inning
Tuesday afternoon to edge the
Portland Pilots 6-5 in the second
game and sweep a doubleheader
at Vaughn street ball park in
Portland.
The Ducks took the first game
3-0 as Bill Blodgett blanked the
Pilots on three singles.
Coach Don Kirsch’« club opens
the home season this afternoon
when they face Lewis and Clark
college on Howe field. Game time
is 3 p.m. ,
Maddox vs. Hyde
Terry Maddox, sophomora from
Medford is the likely starting
hurler for today's clash. Ray
Hyde, who whipped Oregon last
year, will probably toss for the
Pioneers.
Portland had seized a 5-4
lead in the sixth inning of the
second game when Ted Nor
bert, son of the old Portland
Beaver favorite of the same
name, pinch hit a three-run
hoiuer.
But Maddox led off the Duck
seventh with a sharp single to
left. Pete Williams dropped an
other single Into left, and then
Maddox scored when Portland
Pitcher Joe Erceg threw wild to
first on Jim Johnson's sacrifice.
Erceg got the next two men
out, but Williams came In to
score when the try for a force
play at second on Jim Ptngree s
infield grounder failed to catch
the runner coming down from
first.
Williams Relieves
Williams pitched the last of
the seventh and retired Portland
one-two-three for the ball game.
In the first contest, Blodgett
worked in and out of trouble
but had plenty of stuff when
ever the Pilots threatened.
Oregon jumped to n 1-0 had
in the first as George Shaw hit *
a fly 335 feet into the left field
bleachers for a home run.
The margin fent to 2-0 in the
second as Williams singled with'
one down, stole second, moved \
to third as Jerry Ross went out
and tallied on Neal Marlett's
single.
The final score came in the.
seventh as Ross walked, and then
stole second, thu d, and home:
for the run.
Two Forfeits Mar
IM Softball Play
A pair of forfeits, two run- ,
aways and two tight games high
lighted intramural softball ac
tion Tuesday in the second day
of competition.
Joyle Dahl pitched a no-hittet*
and struck out 10 of 12 men to
face him as Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon downed Lambda Chi Alpha,
14-0.
Dahl »ar-Perfect
Dahl struck out the side in the
first and third innings and al
lowed the ball to be hit only
twice. The fast-balling sopho
more’s perfect performance was
marred only by a groundout in
the second inning and a fly-out
to right field in the fourth.
Meanwhile the SAE hittfrs
teed off on the Lambda Chi Al
pha chucker for six runs in the
second inning and five more in
the third to go with one in the
first and two'in the fourth.
Alphahoiic Rally Fails
Barrister Inn survived a last
inning hitting rally by Alpha
hall to win its first start of the
season, 5-2.
Dick McDaniel was the big fac
tor in the Barrister win as he
held Alpha to three hits and two
runs, all coming in the last two
innings.
Gordon Sakamoto’s triple in
the second inning broke open a
scoreless game as he led Barris-^
ter to a 3-0 lead that lasted until
the fourth. After Barrister scor
ed two more. Alpha pushed over
a run to make it 5-1 after four.
In the last half of the fifth,
two walks and a 'Single scored
another run for the Alphaholics,
who loaded the banes again be
fore McDaniel retired the last
batter on a ground ball to third.
Hinman Throws One-Hitter
Phi Kappa Sigma trounced
Kappa Sigma's softballers, 7-1,
on the strength of a one-hit
pitching performance by Bob
HInman.
Hinman also led the Phi Kap's
at bat with a home run. Jack
Murray allowed only foifr hits
for the Kappa Sigs, but the Phi
Kap's bunched their bingos to
win, going away.
French Aced by Fresh
Jerry Martin's two-run single j
in the bottom of the third pulled
the Straub Frosh out of a one
run deficit into the winners' seat
against French hall.
Ed Forbes singled and scored
on a hit by George Twidwell to
put the French nine in the lead
in the top of the first. The Straub
Frosh left three stranded in their
half, but came back in the sec
ond to tally on a walked-in run,
with two out and the bases load
ed.
Lee Bumford homered for
French in the third, but Martin’s
timely single pulled the game out
of the fire for the Frosh. French
scored three runs on three hits:
in the fourth and held the Frosh
scoreless, but the score was re
averted to the bottom of the third,
as the action was past six o’clock.
Nestor and Sederstrom took
easy wins with-forfeit victories
over Cherney and Gamma when
the latter teams failed to show
for their games.
