Duckling Washout
Brings Scrimmage
Oregon'* Duckling baseball
team wan cancelled out of Its
scheduled opener with Eugene
high school Monday, but they
got In a full-dress scrimmage
with the varsity that featured
several good performances.
Don Lane, Coach Bob Basich’s
ace left-hander, turned in three
standout innings of mound duty
against the Northern division
leaders. Lane, possessor of a
sharp-breaking curve and plenty
of poise, scattered four singles
and got rid of three of the
league's top stickers via strike
outs while allowing no runs.
In serious trouble only in the
third stanza. Lane cooly pulled
out of a two on-one out situa
tion by striking out Thirdbase
man Pete Williams and getting
Jerry Ross on short fly to left.
Dodge doubled in Bob Cellers and
Terry Burke in the first inning,
and his work behind the plate
was flawless for the four innings
he worked.
Burke, a speedy little second
sacker, turned in the neatest
plate performance of the day
with a beautifully-executed bunt
single in the first inning.
The Ducklings, still without
any regular competition on their
scorebook, also received a can
cellation of their scheduled Wed
nesday double-header with Mc
Chord Air Force Base. Action
is now billed with the Oregon
State Rooks on Thursday, with
Friday and Saturday games
against Clark College still plan
ned.
Net Team Plays
Reed, Medmen
Before ND Pair
Oregon’s varsity tennis team
began warming up for two com
ing conference matches today as
the Ducks played a match with
Reed college. They will take on
the Oregon Medical school Wed
nesday.
Coach Hilbert Lee's netmen
were scheduled to play Reed at
10 a.m. and will stop off at Port
land on a trip to the Inland Em
pire for a match with the Medi
cal men Wednesday. The sec
ond-place-bound Ducks will play
Idaho and Washington State Fri
day and Saturday at Moscow and
Pullman.
The Frosh tennis team will
also go into action today at 3:30
p.m. with a match with the
strong Eugene high team on the
Oregon courts. Lee intends to use
as many as possible of his well
balanced Frosh team against the
Axemen, who have a real comer
in first man Chuck Harvey, ac
cording to Lee.
The varsity’s usual five of
Ron Carlson, Bob Baker, Dick
Gray, Don Bonime and Dick
Hamilton will go on the weekend
trip after tangling with their
two non-conference opponents.
The Webfoots have won one out
of two conference matches and
figure to take both contests this
weekend.
The Ducks have already de
feated Reed and the Medical
school this season and now have
a won-lost mark of 3-4. Lee's
fast-improving Webfoots figured
as strong favorites over Reed
and also will have the edge over
the Medical men at Portland's
Irvington club.
Giant Hitter
Fakes Rule
NEW YORK (AP) — When
the Giants’ Don Mueller reached
across the plate and slapped a
single in the 16th inning against
Cincinnati Sunday, he showed
that baseball’s new rule designed
to discourage intentional passes
can be very discouraging to a
pitcher who gets careless.
It was the fourth pitch in Bob
Hooper’s effort to put Mueller
harmlessly on first. But Mueller,
who occasionally does amazing
things with a bat, reached out
and poked it into left field.
Whitey Lockman, taken by
surprise, managed to move
from second to third base on
the hit and scored the winning
run on Bill Taylor’s pinch sin
gle.
"Leo Durocher told us back in
spring training to be on the look
out for a chance like this with
the new rule, and this looked like
the spot,” Mueller explained later.
“That fellow wasn’t throw
ing the ball very wide. I had
inched up as close to the plate
as I could and as the ball came
I dropped my hands all the way
down to the end of the bat so
I could reach further.”
The records this season don’t
show any other occasion when a
batter has taken advantage of
the new rule restricting the ac
tivities of the catcher.
for that trim look
