Ducks Clobber Pilots As Ross Runs Rampant By Buzz Nelson Emerald Astittant Sports Editor Leftfieldfr Jerry Ross smacked two home runs and made a cir cus outfield catch to pace Ore gon to a 9-0 win over Portland university on Howe field Tues day. Webfoot Coach Don Kirsch used three pitchers—John Lun dell. Bill Garner and Pete Wil liams—each for a three inning stint, and they combined effec tively for a seven-hit shutout. Ross's first homer came in the first with the bases loaded and two out. John Keller opened the inning with a hit through the box. and Jim Johnson, who like Ross hit three-for-four, moved him up with a bunt single. A Grand Slam George Shaw and Dick Schlos stein went out. but Williams drew a walk. Ross then slammed a long drive over the bank in left field for a grand slam. The game rocked along at 4-0 until the seventh when Oregon added a run on Ken Bond's sing le, a hit by Keller, and Johnson’s sacrifice fly. The Ducks tallied four times in the eighth for the final 9-0 score. Williams led off with an infield single and Ross then parked another homer over the loft-center bank. Norm Forbes flied out. but Marlett singled to center. Bond and Keller both got life on errors, Marlett scor ing. RBI for Johnson Johnson then singled to cen ter to score Keller, who had moved to second on a steal. Shaw walked, but Schlosstein flied out to end the inning. Ross and Johnson each smack ed out three hits, and Ross had six runs batted in to total 14 for the season, high for the Ore gon team. In the Portland ninth he made a brilliant catch of Len Farrell's long fly to left. Ross caught the ball at the top of the bank and rolled down it parjt way but held on to the horsehide. The Oregon pitching was good, with Garner turning in the best three inning stint. The junior lefthander set nine batters down WILDLIFE/). oLineA By Phil White Emerald Sports Writer Shall we allow the continuation of the abuse to Oregon's natural resources, abuse that will eventually produce an area of dust, desolation and death? This i- a question that should be given some thought by every student. The history of the United States as a whole has been a story of uncontrolled ex ploitation of natural resources with little thought as to what would be left for future use. Governor Patterson has declared this week as Oregon conservation week. This is not a week designed to get every one in the state out planting trees in the burned-over areas or planting cover for wildlife. Rather, this is a week designed to awaken the residents of the state and let them realize that conservation is everybody’s business. When natural resources disappear, animal, and consequent ly human, life vanishes from the scene shortly afterwards. For that reason, conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Oregon Wildlife Abundant Conservation week is designed to bring to the attention of all Oregonians the need for wise use of our abundant natural resources. Oregon is rich in wildlife, minerals, forests and water, but only through constant interest and work by every one can it remain that way. Our survival is dependent on wise use. All you need to do is to live the conservation pledge. “I give my pledge as an Oregonian to save and faithfully to de fend from waste the natural resources of my state ... its soil and minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife.” While we're on this subject of conservation, let’s see how it applies to the trout season which just opened. Oregon fisher men are a fortunate lot, for Oregon, unlike many other states, still has miles of unpolluted streams and clear mountain lakes. Also, because of the nature of the state, the variety of fish of fered the angler here is as wide as in any state of the Union. Law-Breakers Wreck Fishing Whether this fishing continues, depends largely upon the Isaac.Waltons themselves. Past acts of vandalism and disre spect for the rights of others have closed segments of Oregon’s fishing waters to the general public. Disregard for the regula tions as set up by the Game Commission also jeopardizes fu ture fishing. Since fishing is one of our resources which can be con tinued indefinitely if properly managed, why should we spoil our future generations chances to enjoy the sport by a few selfish acts. Yes, trout season for this year is here. When you’re out fishing, take time to meditate and remember future fishing depends on your conduct. You hold the key to future fishing. Respect for regulations and the rights of others will unlock the door for years to come. in ordfcr. None of the pitchers issued a walk.

Cockell Thinks Rocky Looks 'Easy to Hit' SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) Challenger Don Cockell floored a sparring partner Tuesday and , later, looking at films of Rocky Marciano’s first fight with Joe Walcott, remarked that the champion “looks easy to hit.” Cockell tangles with Marciano for the heavyweight crown on May 1G in an outdoor bout in San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium. “I’m sure I can outpoint Rocky and win the title,” the pudgey Britisher declared. “I might knock him out, at least cut him up, and win.” Earlier Cockell decked spar mate Grant Butcher with a left hook to the jaw. It was the first knockdown Cockell has regis tered in 212 rounds of sparring in preparation for the title bout. Sports Stall Desk Editor: Chuck Mitchel more.
