Trackmen Face Pioneers,
Seattle Pacific at Portland
By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Co-Sports Editor
Strengthened by the return of
senior star Doug Clement and f
hopeful for good weather, Ore
gon's track and field team warms
up for Northern Division compe
tition this weekend in a three
way meet with Lewis & Clark
and Seattle Pacific at Portland.
Coach Bill Bowerman will take
a full squad of 25 Webfoot cin
dermen for the rehearsal before
the first ND meet with Idaho
April 16. Saturday's meet will
start at 1:30 p.m. in L-C's Gris-j
wold stadium.
The Ducks are hopeful that the
stretch of sunny days will con
tinue for the meet after buck
ing strong winds and intermit
tent rains at the Willamette re- j
lays last week. Better weather is
expected to give Bowerman a
good indication of what perform
ances he can expect from the |
team in conference meets.
LC Track Good
Another factor favoring good
performances is the track in
Ducklings to Meet
Cleveland High '9'
In Saturday Game
The Oregon Ducklings square [
off against the Cleveland high
school Indians tomorrow as they
get a belated start on their ‘55
baseball season. A soggy Howe
field forced postponement of the
opening doubleheader last Sat
urday. and if the weather holds ‘
out gametime will be 1:30 on the
Oregon field.
The twin bill, with different i
teams starting each game for
the Frosh. should give Coach Bob
Basich a thorough look at his
material. His main headache so
far has been in his moundstaff,
where only Ron Whittaker. Don
Lane and Don Delbon can be
counted on as sure-fire starters.,
The basketball fans who
watched the Cleveland Cinderella
hoopers in the State tourney,
there will be some familiar faces
on the Indian nine. Dick Jolley,
Harvey Jones and Jay Bashor.
among others, did regular duty
for the Cleveland diamond squad
last year.
Basich will announce final
squad cuts early next week.
Burke Leads
Masters Field
AUGUSTA. Ga. (Al — Two
golfers who have known plenty of
frustration in their playing ca-1
reers showed the way through;
the first round of the 19th Mas
ters tournament on a day which
was frustrating to most of the
favorites.
At the end of the first day’s
play on the menacing 6,950
yard Augusta National Course
the leader was Jackie Burke,
the grown-up “hoy” wonder,
with 34-33—67. Julius Boros
and Mike Souehak tied for
second with 71’s.
Meanwhile defending champion
Sam Snead had one of those hor-!
rendous eights that have dogged!
his playing career and wound up
five strokes behind with an even
par 72.
And Ben Hogan, the favorite
this year even though he lost
the 1954 playoff to Snead, was
one stroke farther back after
a round in which he couldn’t
buy a needed birdie putt.
Among the Pacific Northwest
contingent, Bruce Cudd, Port
land, Ore., amateur, shot a 37
38—75, and Stan Leonard, Van
couver, B.C., pro,a 37-40—77.
Griswold stadium. Along with
Oregon’s own Hayward field.
L-C‘s track is rated as the best
in the state. It was here that
several records were set last sea
son as the Ducks won a four
way meet with OSC, L-O and
Portland university trailing.
Although the Ducks should
have little trouble with the un
dermanned Seattle Pacific and
L-C teams, the competition in
several events is expected to be
close. Oregon should capture
firsts in the distance runs but
Northwest Conference Champion
Lewis and Clark and Seattle Pa
cific. NAIA distrtrt titllflt last
year, will make it tough with
some top aces.
Bailey in Mile
In the running events Bower
man is experimenting with a new
lineup this week by entering Jim
Bailey. Australian 880 ace. in
the mile and Bill Dellinger, na
tional champion miler for the
Ducks last year, in the two-mile
run.
Ken Reiser, veteran two-miler.
will run the 880 this week along
with Doug Clement, ace middle
distance man who missed last
week’s meet due to a pulled leg
muscle. In the 440. letterman
Gordon Dahlquist will be backed
up by speedsters Arden Christen
sen and Bill Sorsby.
Sprint Battle Seen
Biggest competition for the
Duck entrants likely will come
in the sprints, hurdles and the
jumps. Feature race of the day
should come in the 100-yard dash
where Oregon’s Bruce Spring
bet t. veteran of the Pan-Amer
ican games and share-holder in
the stadium record of 9.8, will
go against L-C Captain Caley
Cook and Seattle Pacific’s ace
sprinter. Walt Hill. All have best
times of 9.8 or better.
Cook, captain of the Pioneers
for a third straight year, will also
be the man to beat in the 220
yd. low hurdles. The ex-Jefferson
ace holds the school, conference
and stadium record of 24.3. Sors
by will go against Cook in the
lows.
Cook Pioneer Threat
Cook and Bob Chiolo, another
three-year letterman, will give
L*-C its best chance for a first
in the broad jump. Both have
topped 23 feet but Duck sopho- j
more Martin Pedigo leaped al
most 24 feet last week and will
push the Pioneer aces. Chiodo
has also gone over the six-foot
mark ixt the high jump.

Spark IM Action
Delta Tau Delta put on a six
run rally in the third inning of
their game with Alpha Tau Ome
ga, but they lost a 12-7 decision
to the ATO’s in a feature game
of Thursday's intramural soft
ball action. Jerry Hamilton was
the winning pitcher, allowing
three hits. Don McClain’s homer
in the sixth aided the winners.
Eagles Get Shutout
Legal Eagle pitcher Bob Alt
man held Hale Kane scoreless in
another game, while his heavy
hitting teammates were provid
ing more than enough runs, as
the Eagles took a 10-0 decision.
Five runs on five hits in the sec
ond frame iced the game. The
losers could only find Altman's
slants for two hits while the win
ners had eight.
Sparked by two home runs by
George Weber, Pi Kappa Alpha
overcame Tau Kappa Epsilon in
a high-scoring contest, 14-9. Af
ter two stanzas, the two teams
were tied at 9-9, with Jerry Mad
den, Teke pitcher, tripling home
two runs. But Weber’s homer
was the telling blow and the
PiKA’s coasted to the win on a
five-run inning.
A four-run outburst in the
fourth inning gave the Dorm
Counselors a 6-2 win over Phila
delphia House in the two teams'
opening game. Cameron Thom
tossed two-hit ball for the win
ners and his batterymate, Joe
Page, pounded out a single and
a triple in two at bats. The Phil
lies showed a good defense,
though, with two relay plays
from right fielder Craig Philips
cutting off two runs at the plate.
In the batter's delight of the
afternoon. Theta Chi walloped
Delta Upsilon by a 17-7 count.
Dick James was the winning
pitcher as the winners tallied nine
runs in a big second-inning rally.
Dean Highlander was top man at
the plate with three for three,
including a double.
Williams Win Game
A home run by Bob Williams
with a man on base overcame a
Chi Psi lead in the sixth inning
to give Campbell Club a hard
earned 6-5 win. The Chi Psi’s
tallied single runs in the third,
fourth and fifth to balance an
earlier four-run scoring spree by
Campbell Club.
