Oregon Takes On Huskies;
Duckling Trackmen Travel
Duck Nine Favored
In Crucial Series
Oregon's much-traveled base
ball team, with seven straight
Northern Division wins under
its belt, moved into Seattle Wed
nesday for the last hurdle of its
annual “suicide swing.” The
Ducks play Washington today
and Friday.
Oregon is very much in the
driver's seat in the NO race
with the recent double tri
umphs over Washington State
and Idaho. Oregon State was
also undefeated (3-0) going
into Wednesday's game with
WSC, but the Beavers still
have most of their six games
in seven days to go.
With six straight defeats,
Washington is definitely out of
the race. But the Huskies would
like nothing better than to play
a spoiler s role and beat both
Oregon and Oregon State when
they invade Graves field in Se
attle.
Earlier in the season Oregon
bounced Washington in a pair
at Eugene by score of 18-12
and 8-5. Since then the Web
foots have continued their lus
ty hitting, despite frequent
pitching failures.
Coach Bill Marx of Washing
ton. sorely disappointed over his
mound staff, will probably send
pitchers Ed Lajala and Don Hill
against Oregon. Instead of Hill
he may start either Monte Gei
ger or Bill Reams.
Don Kirsch of Oregon will
likely counter with Bill Blod
gett or Bill Garner today and
come back with Terry Maddox
on Friday.
After seven ND games. Norm
Forbes, defending ND bat cham
pion. is leading the Duck hit
ters with 556. But Jim Johnson
leads those with 20 or more at
bats. Johnson, sticking .452, is
followed by George Shaw with
.320 and Jerry Ross with .300.
Maddox is hitting .429 for seven
at bats. Dick Schlosstein leads
in runs-batted-ia with nine.

Final Drills
A young but enthusiastic Ore
gon football squad will climax
four weeks of spring practice
Saturday morning when the
Ducks stage a full-length scrim
mage on Hayward field.
The game scrimmage, sched
uled for 10:30 a.m., will be run
under regular game conditions
with the exception of no kickoffs
nor point-after-touchdown at
tempts.
A11 spectators are invited
to attend this preview of the
1935 Oregon team as part of
Spring Sports day attractions
of junior weekend. The other
major sports event of the day
is the track meet between Ore
gon and Oregon State, slated
for 1:30 p.m. on Hayward field.
For the scrimmage the 60-man
squad will be split up evenly
with the first and fourth teams
to face the second and third
elevens. The first team, minus a
few veterans due to injuries, is
the likely starting lineup -next
fall.
Coach Len Casanova has
termed this spring’s practice one
of the most enthusiastic he has
ever seen and the big number of
freshmen and sophomores have
learned much during the 20-day
spring session. The Ducks have
been benefiting greatly from the
good weather of the past two
weeks after opening their work
outs under wet skies.
Oregon’s first team next fall
will feel the loss of several top
flight veterans, but the big
gest hole will be at quarter
back, where George Shaw has
filled in for four years. For
mer Halfback Tom Crabtree is
being groomed to fill the all
coaster’s shoes and Hill open
there Saturday.
Another problem spot has been
at fullback, where three letter
men will be missing next fall.
But Jack Morris, the speedy air
force veteran from Medford, has
looked good and will carry a big
load there.
The rest of the backfield will
probably find Sophomores Jim
Shanley and LeRoy Phelps going
for the first team. Both Dick
James, the only backfield starter
who will return in 1955, and
Chuck Osborn will miss the
scrimmage due to injuries.
Oregon State has not finished
any higher than fourth in North
ern Division track since 1946.
That year they won the con
ference meet.
Freshmen Tangle
With OSC Rooks
Led by speedmerchant Jack
Morris, the Oregon Frosh track
sauad travels to Oregon State
Saturday to take on the Rook
cindermen. Morris has registered
times of :9.8 in the 100-yard dash
and :23.2 in the 220-yard low
hurdles, both among the top
times in the country
The Kooks are pared by 6' 8"
basketball center Wayne Moss,
who consistently gets points in
the high jump, shot put und
discus.
In the last meeting between
the teams, Bob McCollum's
Ducklings came out on top of a
three-way meet, with the Rooks
| second and Portland Track and
Field club trailing. In that meet.
Moss went 6' 4” in the high jump
and tossed the weight 43' to
win both events, while taking
fourth in the discus.
The Kooks are weakest In
distances, but they have
strength in the dashes und
field exents.
Freshman contests are also
tentatively billed this weekend
for Hilbert Lee's tennis squad :
and John McKay's golfers.
Strikeout Record
Gets Challenges
NEW YORK l APi Bob Fel
ler’s major league strikeout rec
ord. unchallenged for eight years,
faces its stiffest test this sea
son in the strong arms of Cleve
land teammate Herb Score and
Bob Turley of the New York
Yankees.
Score, the lefthanded rookie
who set an American association
strikeout record of 330 in 1954,
is ahead of Feller's 1946 pace,
when he fanned 343 American
league batters in 372innings.
Turley is just a bit behind Fel- .
ler's rate.
In his first five starts in 1946.
Feller fanned 48 batters in 43
innings. Score, in five games
covering 41 innings, has struck
out 50. Turley has whiffed 46 in
45 innings.
Feller fanned 10 or more bat
ters 12 times in his record
breaking season when he won 26
games and dropped 15. Six times
he went the route and fanned
only five batters and in another
nine-inning effort he struck out
six.
Score had 16 strikeouts against
Boston May 1—a higher total
than Feller compiled in any one
game in ’46. Bob's high was 14.
