Oregon finally got its Northern Division baseball season
started Tuesday, edging Idaho 2-0. and with any break in the
weather will continue it this weekend against the L niversity
of Washington. So far the Ducks have had five home rainouts.
two of which (against Oregon State) can be made up. But a
pair against WSC and a single game with Idaho are cancelled
permanently.
These rainouts call for a new interpretation of the ND
baseball picture. The favorites role has now shifted to
Washington State. The Cougars have had all four Willam
ette valley games—traditionally a stumbling block for in- j
vading teams—washed out. Coach Buck Bailey’s crew has
played two games, beating tough Washington twice, and
has had the other pair with the Huskies cancelled by rain.
Cougars Fourth in 1954
This leaves Washington State with eight games to play, six
at home—against Oregon. OSC. Idaho—and two at Moscow
against the Vandals. The Cougars finished fourth last year
with a 7-9 mark. But Bailey’s club won four straight pennants
from 1947-1950.
In 1950 they won the PCC title and finished second in the
NCAA, the highest a’coast team has finished since 1948 when
Southern Cal came in first. Washington State also ranks
second to Oregon in composite standings. In 22 years of
ND play (not counting 1955) Cougar teams have won 198
and lost 140 for a percentage of .586.
Oregon is first with 207-130 for .614. Oregon State follows
in third with 178-157 for. .531. Washington has 177-159 for
.527. and Idaho trails with 77-246 for .238. Oregon has won the
most ND pennants—10. WSC has won six, OSC five. Wash
ington four, and Idaho none. While Idaho has never won a
championship, WSC and Oregon have never finished last.
Ducks Hold Lifetime Edges
A breakdown of Oregon’s standing reveals the Ducks
have a 49-34 record agaist OSC, 45-39 against Washington,
46-38 versus WSC, and 67-17 against Idaho. Oregon de
feated OSC four games to none in both 1934 and 1937, Wash
ington 4-0 in 1939, 1943, 1946, and 1953. WSC in 1941 and
1952, and Idaho in 1930, 1931, 1937, 1942, 1943, 1948, 1949,
1951, and 1954. The Ducks have only been shut out twice,
both times by Washington, in 1932 and 1951.
No team has ever gone through the season undefeated. The
best marks are those posted by Oregon in 1937 and WSC in
1950—12 wins, 2 losses. In 1930 and 1951 Idaho lost 14 games
without a win.
Maddox Tops Staff
On the basis of his four-hit shutout win nrer Idaho, pre
ceded by a one-hitter against Willamette, sophomore Terry
Maddox figures as the top pitcher on Coach Don Kirsch's
staff. Maddox, a solidly built righthander (5’ 11”, 1X7 pounds)
lias pitched in four games, winning two and losing none. In 26
innings he has allowed 17 hits, two earned runs, walked six
and fanned 18. His earned run average is a brilliant 0.70. Op
posing batters have hit for a .155 average against him. Maddox
has good speed, excellent control, and a wicked sidearm pitch
which is very effective but which he uses sparingly.
Oregon’s mound staff now has a composite ERA of 3.37,
which is quite good. Duck pitchers have allowed the opposi
tion 43 runs while the Webfoot batting attack has produced
64. As further evidence of the pitchers’ effectiveness, they
have recorded 53 strikeouts while walking 33. Duck batters
have drawn 41 free passes and fanned 44 times.

With an assist from the weath
er. Oregon and Washington's
baseball teams will tangle some
where in the vicinity of Howe
field at 3 p.m. today. Hain and
baseball haven't mixed this
spring, but the game will be
played if at all possible, prob
ably on the makeshift diamond
that was used for Tuesday's con
test with Idaho.
The same teams will play again
Saturday at 2 p.m. A complete
rainout today will necessitate a
Sat ui-day twin bill, to start at
1:30 p.m.
Washington got off to a fast
start in the Northern Division
race but has cooled off to 4-2.
Oregon's record stands at 1-0,
with most of the conference
schedule being rained out.
Garner to Start
Oregon Coach Don Kirsch has
indicated that he will start left
hander Bill Garner in the Friday
contest. Saturday's pitcher will
be either Bill Blodgett or Terry
Maddox. Washington Coach Bill
Marx will call on his two motind
aces. Bill Reams and Monte
Geiger.
The Duck infield will include
firstbaseman Dick Schlosstein,
hitting .314. secondsacker Jim
Johnson .333. thirdbaseman Pete
Duck Golf Team
To Face Staters
A long undefeated string of
matches for Oregon's varsity
golf team will be at stake Sat- i
urday when the Duck divoters
host strong Oregon State in a j
conference match.
Coach Sid Milligan's defend
ing Northern Division champs j
and the Beavers will clash on
the Eugene country club layout
in a 36-hole match beginning at
9 a.m. Each school will play six
men in best-ball competition in'
the morning and another 18 holes
of individual match play in the
afternoon.
A probable day full of show
ers will likely hover over Eu
gene to plague the two teams
but the rain is not likely to
hamper performances to much
extent. Two weeks ago the
Ducks defeated Washington in
their opener in the rain with
team scores being very cred
itable for early-season play.
Oregon has not been defeated
in a conference meet since 1950
and have been dual-match titlists
six straight years under Milli
gan. Last season Oregon won the
medal-play tournament for the
first time since 1947 with Ore
gon State finishing second.
Milligan will use a lineup
composed of three veterans
along with several promising
sophomores against the Bea
vers. Captain Neil Dwyer, Bob
Takano, Bobby N'orquist, Don
Bick, Barry Ott and Justin
Smith will all see action Sat
urday.
Coach Jim Barrett of the OSC
team will probably go with his
highly-rated four of Bob Don
nelly, Jerry Cloninger, Hay Lind
auist and Larry Trogen plus
Neils Reimers and Allen Wood in
the fifth and sixth spots.
