Diamond Team
To Play WSC
In ND Opener
A weather-hampered Oregon
baseball team will once again
try to open its Northern Division
season Wednesday when Wash
ington State visits the Ducks for
the first of a two-game series.
Last weekend the Webfoot
nine was rained out of a pair
of games with Oregon State
while the Cougars were getting
snowed out in a pair of games
with Washington at Pullman.
The Oregon-OSC series was post
poned while the Husky-WSC se
ries was cancelled.
Continued rains have put the
opener in the doubtful class as
the Northwest weather has given
Coach Don Kirsch's team little
mercy. If Howe field is too wet
for the Wednesday game, a dou
ble-header will be scheduled for
Thursday. If it rains then, both
will be cancelled.
Coach Buck Bailey's Cougars
will bring an impressive record
to Eugene to open the conference
season against the defending
champion Ducks. WSC has won
six of nine games this season
with two of the three losses com
ing at the hands of the Yakima
Bears of the Class A Northwest
league.
The Cougars have several vet
erans back from their fourth
place team of 1954 with Short
stop Ron Foisy and Second-base
man Gordon Hersey both back
from their record-breaking sea
son when they set an all-time
league record with 19 double
plays. Foisy leads the hitting
writh an even .500 average and
the Cougar mound corps has
plenty of depth.
Weather Hampers
IM Softball Play
Six intramural softball
games were postponed yester
day as rain took its toll for
the third straight time in
league play.
Twenty games have now felt
the effects of wet weather and
will be made up after the end
of the regular schedule next
week.
Intramural softball director
Virgil Erickson reported yes
terday that the fields were
very soft from the frequent
rains but games will go on as
scheduled today if possible.

Bowling Star
In 50th Meet
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) —
American Bowling Congress sta
tisticians got out their adding
machine Sunday and figured 74
year-old Harry Steers of Elm
hurst. 111., has knocked down 82.
672 pins in ABC tourney com
petition.
Obviously, that took some
J time. Since 1901, as a matter of
fact.
When Steers makes his annual
; appearance Monday in the ABC's
■ 52nd annual show he will be com
peting for the 50th time.
The statisticians figured the
, pins he has walloped in the na
I tional meet would fill 11 rail
road cars, stretch over 20 miles
laid end to end. and weigh al
| most 141 tons.
When the ABC tournament
was started in 1901. the 21-year
old Steers couldn’t raise the
1 money to go to Chicago from
j his Iowa home town as a com
! petitor. So he participated only
' as a paid scorekeeper.
The next year Steers was one
of 305 entrants in the Buffalo
ABC meet. There are over
31.000 this year and he carried
off a share of the doubles
championship.
He couldn't make the 1903
tourney but in 1904 Steers
started a string that has made
him the dean of American bowl
ers—48 straight ABC perform
ances.
Sheer durability isn’t Steers’
only accomplishment. Besides
‘ that doubles crown in 1902, he
won another while contributing
j a 715 series in 1918. He took
the all-events title that World
War I year with a 1959 total.

mento Solons. whom none of the
experts thought ever would leave
the league cellar but have been
riding in first place since the
campaign opened.

Briggs (2-0). were named by
Manager Tony Freitas to face
the Rainiers. Freddie Hutchin
