Oregon's Webfoot golfers mov
ed to within one victory of a suc
cessful 1958 defense of their
Northern Division golf crown
last weekend with a pair of dual
match wins over Idaho and
Washington State at the Eugene
Country Club.
Sid Milligan's Ducks had to
fight for a 16ti-10l2 decision
over Idaho Friday, but bounced
back Saturday to blast Washing
ton State, 24'.j-2*o.
Oregon’s Duckling linksmen
extended their undefeated dual
match string to five straight
Friday in Vancouver, Wash. ,
with a close 9',2-Sij win over
Clark College at Royal Oaks
Country Club.
Friday's triumph over Idaho
didn't come easy for the Web
foots. The Ducks nearly swept
best-ball play with an 8-1 point
surge, but the Vandals gave the
champs a scare in individual
match play by roaring back for a
9 Vi -8 Vi advantage.
Oregon's best-ball team win
ners were Bob Prall-Wiley Hurst.
Keith Gubrud-Chuck Siver. and
Duane Ankarberg-Gary Hval.
Individual Duck winners were
Gubrud, Hval, and Bob Norquist.
WSC wasn't even in Satur
day's match, as the Webfoots
swept everything.
Larry and Keith Gubrutl, the
Ducks’ outstanding brother
duo, pared Oregon in l«est-ball
play with a seven-under-par
65. The Ducks blanked the
Cougars, 9-0, in best-ball com
petition.
Senior medalist Bob Brail
led the Ducks in individual
competition with a 72.
VVSC's only points came in in
dividual competition on a 11 a
draw and 2-1 defeat.
The VVSC victory moved the
Webfoots within one match of
their 11th ND title in the past 12
years. The Ducks meet Oregon
State at Corvallis May 16 in their
dual-match finale. Oregon has
already beaten the Beavers in an
early-season ND match.
Four of the five Duckling
golfers contributed points as
the Frosh linksmen drove to
their win over Clark Friday.
Chuck Hunter fired a 72 for
medalist honors and a three
point victory, and Denny Strick
land also added three digits with
a 3-0 decision in his match.
Wally Schulz tacked up a 2-1
win and Tom Shaw fought to a
l'-j-lVi draw.
It was the fifth straight win
for the Ducklings and their sec
ond victory over Clark.
Duckling nine gets
two Clark wins
Oregon’s baseball Ducklings
stretched their season’s record to
5-4- this weekend by winning two
and losing one against Clark
Junior College. The Frosh nab
bed the series opener on Friday
with a 13-1 victory. Coach Norv
Ritchey’s team won 5-2 and lost
5-3 in Saturday’s twin bill.
Effective six-hit pitching by
Denny Peterson and a 12-hit bat
ting attack paced the Frosh to
their easy 13-1 victory Friday. A
big seven run first inning put
the game on ice for the Duck
lings.
Webfoot gridders
name new coach
Brad Ecklund, one of Oregon's
all-time great linemen and cur
rently head football coach at
Roseburg high school, was named
assistant line coach at Oregon.
The appointment, subject to
approval by the state board of
higher education, was announced
by University Athletic Director
Leo Harris.
Ecklund, who was an All-Coast
and All-American when he play
ed center for the Webfoots in
1946-47-48, will join the coach
ing staff at the conclusion of the
present school year.
Coach Len Casanova had ear
lier named ex-Webfoot great
Phil McHugh as freshman coach.
Ecklund will join Casanova’s
other aides, Jack Roche, Johnny
McKay and Jerry Frei, when the
Ducks open their fall grid work
outs.
Ecklund coached the Gresham
Gophers to the 1956 state prep
finals.
Five hits, three errors and a
walk enabled the Frosh to score
seven tallies in the first frame.
Big blows of the rally were Jim
Hollister's triple and Ed David
son's double.
The Webfoot freshman pad
ded their lead with single runs
in the second and fifth and
two runs in the fourth and
sixth innings.
Fred Ballard's four-hit pitch
ing paced the Frosh to their fifth
win of the current campaign.
Ballard's hurling and along with
Oregon’s crucial hitting netted a
5-2 victory for the Duck year
lings.
Ron Nakata, Jim Hollister and
Chuck Jacques sparked a two- |
run Duckling first inning with
base blows. Nakata, Jack Luhrs
and Leon Hayes got hits in the
fourth inning to account for two
more Frosh scores: Ballard’s
triple and Nakata's third hit of
the day gave the Frosh their
fifth run.
Oregon lost the nightcap of
Saturday’s doubleheader by a
5-3 score even though they
outhit Clark 11-3. An early
streak of wildness by Frosh
hurler Gary Ashworth enabled
Clark to pick up an early 5-0 |
lead which they never relin
quished.
Grant Todd replaced Ashworth i
in the seventh and final frame.
The Ducklings picked up a single ,
run in the second inning and then j
added two more in the sixth.
Oregon and Clark have now
played each other six times with
both clubs taking three. The

Today’s contest should prove
much tougher especially if Wash

Tiie Huskies have only three
Jettermen to work on the mound
and Coach Dale Parker will prob
ably have to depend on untried
material for much of the ND
race.
Oregon coach Don Ktrsch will
probably stick with his usual
starting lineup which has ND
victories over Idaho twice and
Washington State twice.
Pitchers Ron Whittaker or Jim
Fitzsimmons are probably in line
for a starting effort.
