Emeralds Tip Ducks
In Diamond Contest
By Jerry Claussen
Emerald Co-Sportt Editor
The Eugene Emeralds raked
four Oregon pitchers for nine
hits and ten walks before 2,000
fans at Bethel ball park last
night to win a convincing 8-0
shutout victory over the Ducks.
Oregon Coach Don Kirsch used
a quartet of his front-line pitch
ers against the professional Class
B Emerald team, but none of
them were too steady. Meanwhile
the Oregon batters were having
a tough time against a pair of
Emerald hurlers who gave the
Webfoots their first blanking of
the season.
The loss to the Emeralds
gave Oregon only its fifth de
feat of the season against 16
wins and was a warm-up for
the crucial four-game series
with Oregon State this week
end. The Ducks must split with
the Beavers to win the pen- ;
nant.
Bill Blodgett opened for the
Ducks against the Emeralds and
was the only Oregon pitcher to
not permit a hit. But the burly
right-hander was plenty wild as
he gave up three free passes.
Some alert defensive play by
Duck Catcher Neil Marlett helped
out Blodgett in both of the two
innings he pitched. The rangy re
ceiver picked off Emerald Sec
ond baseman Ron Jackson when
he tried to steal third in the first
inning and then nipped Shortstop
Whitey Thomson trying to pilfer
second in the next frame.
Lefty Bill Garner came in to
pitch for Kirsch's club in the
third inning and immediately
ran into trouble. Two bases on
balls, two sacrifk-es, an error
by Garner himself and a single
by Manager Cliff Dapper
brought in two runs.
In the fourth Garner was really
blasted. After retiring the first
two men in order. Rightfielder
Manuel Romero hit a single,

The do-it-yourself craze that is now sweeping the country
has been established in fishing and hunting. Theodore (iordon,
the dean of American dry fly fishermen, was. in 1890, a do-it
yourself man. He tied his own flies.
Theodore Gordon rolled his own through necessity, but
many modern Isaac Walton's are indulging in this fascinat
ing pastime for the pleasure and enjoyment they derive
from doing something creative.
Fly tying can also save the serious fly fisherman a lot of
money. This is usually important to fly fishermen—they need
the money to buy that $80 fly rod they’ve got their eye on.
Anglers Build Rods
Another new do-it-yourself angle for anglers is rod building.
There are now hundreds of rod kits available on the market.
You can make anything from a two-ounce fly rod to a tuna rod,
and’save dollars in the process. These kits come in every stage
of completion from bamboo stalks to glass rods with nothing
to do except wrap the guides. They’re not hard to build either.
Spin fishermen will like the spinning lure kits now starting
to flood the market. All the parts for building up spoons,
spinners, devons, etc., come with the kits and all you have to
do is assemble the parts. Here’s the chance to pick up some
nice spinning lures for anly about 25 cents apiece.
If you're a real energetic fisherman, you can get a kit to
splice your fly lines, and thus put together a line that really
matches your rod. You can also tie up your own tapered
leaders.
Hunters' Needs Available
Hunters can also find projects to use up that spare time.
How about that stock that needs to be refinished? Several
companies sell refinishing kits that include everything you'll
need to do the job.
If you need a new stock, you will find everything from
rough planks to semi-finished and inletted stocks in all
grades and types of wood.
For duck hunters there's now some make-them-yourself
decoys on the market. Bodies, heads, eyes and paint are all
furnished with the kits. Just put them together and paint them
up, and you’ll be ready for those mallards next fall.
Boat Kits Plentiful
Maybe you Davey Crockets need a new blue job on your
musket. Well, there’s even a kit for that. We’ve tried them,
and they give a nice finish with almost any shade of blue you
desire.
If your weakness is boats, there are so many boat kits on
the market that you should certainly be able ot find one to
suit your taste. You’ll find everything from eight-foot prams
to 30-foot cruisers with galley and bunks.
The list could go on and on, and every week it gets larger.
If you’re interested in taking a fling at some kit project, pick
up a copy of one of the outdoor magazine and turn to the
classified ads on the last three or four pages. If you can’t find
what you want there among the thousands of advertisements,
don’t worry. There’ll be a new magazine next month.
long triple into right-center field
and Granville Gladstone hit a
long double after a pair of free
passes to bring in three more
I Emerald tallies.
Garner retired after the
fourth uud the Ducks' mound
ace, Terry Maddox, came In for
a couple of innings. The .Med
ford sophomore got by In fine
style for a while, retiring three
straight men after a triple and
a hit hatter put the first two
men on in the fifth.
In the sixth the Emeralds got
their heavy sticks hot again and
rolled off three more runs. Two
doubles and a base on balls
brought in two runs and another
! came in on a groundout.
These were the last runs scored
in the game as the diminutive
Coos Bay sophomore. Jim Lehl.
came in to pitch the last two
innings and gave up only one hit
to the winners. In the eighth he
struck out two men while allow
ing a single and a base on balls,
but in the ninth he retired the
side in order.
Oregon got men as far as
third base only twice during
the contest. In the second inn
ing Pete Williams hit a long
fly ball to right-center field
that Gladstone dropped fur a
three-base error, lie died there,
however, as Boh W agner struck
out and Neil Marlett fouled out
to Dapper.

Moscow Jaunt Set
For Duck Golfers
By Jerry Claussen
Emorald Co-Sporlt Editor
A tight race is in store for five
Northern Division golf teams
this weekend when Oregon and
four other conference teams hold
their annual two-day tournament
at Moscow.
The defending champion Ducks
will have a much tougher time
winning this year's 36-hole med-*
al-play tournament than they
did last year. In 1954 the meet
was held on the friendly Eugene
country club course and the Web
foots wulked away with the title.
Idaho in Favorite Hide
The graduation of two top
seniors and improvement in oth
er conference teams will make
the Webfoots only one of several
contenders for the 1955 crown.
Idaho is a strong favorite after
winning this year's dual-match
title and dropping Oregon out of
first for the first time since
1948.
Scores figure to be low on the
.short but tricky Idi^to course
when the four top men from the
five teams invade Moscow Thurs
day. The teams will play 18 holes
on both Friday and Saturday
with the winner to be the team
with the lowest aggregate for
the 144 holes.
1954 First L'O Meet Win
Oregon's win in the tourney
last year was only the first by a
Duck team since 1947. Coach Sid
Milligan's first year, despite the
VVebfoots' six straight dual
match titles. Washington won
the previous three straight from
1951-53.
Although the tournament rec
ord of 566. set by the Oregon
team of 1947, won't be threat
ened, the winner will probably
score under 600. Oregon won last
year with a 606. but the division's
caliber of play has improved.
Donnelly I>-a<K OSC
Last year's individual medalist,
Bob Donnelly of Oregon State,
will be back again for this year’s
tournament. He will lead a good
Beaver four that will threaten
strong Oregon, Washington and
Idaho teams.
Donnelly will have plenty of
competition for the individual
crown at Moscow. Oregon’s Neil
Dwyer. WSC's Larry Graft, Pla
ho’s Bob Campbell and Tom
Adamson, Washington's Bob
Manlowe and Len Perry and
OSC’s Jerry Cloninger could all
crash par figures.
Milligan has had a difficult
time picking a top four out of
tin evenly-balanced Oregon squad
to go to Moscow. Two sopho
mnn'H, Barry Ott and Bob Nor
oulxt, have been tapped to rep
resent Oregon along with Cap
tain Nell Dwyer, who played In
the tournament for Oregon last
year. Bob Takano, another vet
eran of the 1954 meet, will prob
ably get the other spot.
Oregon will mix* the services
of Don Krelger and Al Mundle,
both 1954 hotshots for the Ducks,
at Moscow. Krelger was Individ
ual medalist at the 1953 tourney
and was runnerup last season
with a one-over-par 145. Mundle,
a three-year veteran was also
graduated, had a 150 In last
yeur's meet.
Beaver Netmen
Wallop Webfoots
Oregon State’s red-hot tennis
team gained a tie in Northern
Division match play Tuesday aft
ernoon at Corvallis with a con
vincing 6-1 win over Oregon's
team.
Previously Oregon had lieen aii
by itself in the runnerup spot in
ND competition behind peren
nial champion Washington. The
Beaven win elevated Coach Ir
win Harris' Beavers into a dead
lock with Coach Hilbert Lee's
Ducks, each with a 3-2 record.
Oregon's top doubles team of
Ron Carlson and Bob Baker was
the only Duck winner against
OSC. It was a big reversal from
last month’s Oregon win here
over the Beavers, 4-3.
In a battle of freshman teams,
the Oregon Brush retained its
mastery over the OSC Rooks
with a 5-2 win.
