UO-Beavers Set Finale
By DAVE JORDAN
Assistant Sports Editor
Oregon’s track team, fresh
from a somewhat traumatic ex
perience at Modesto’s California
Relays, face Oregon St.’s high
balling contingent tomorrow in
the annual Memorial Day track
meet at 1:30 on Hayward Field.
Members of the Duck squad
journeyed to the southland last
weekend, but came away with
nothing better than a third place
in any event. Many of the Web
foots received rude jolts.
MEANWHILE, at the same
meet OSU took two first places
and established a world's rec
ord.
Duck stars Mel Renfro and
Dave Steen were on the receiv
ing end of some of the aforemen
tioned jolts. Renfro failed to
place in the broad jump, in which
a world record was set and the
sixth place leap was 25-1. And
Steen, undefeated and leading the
nation in his specialty going into
the meet, failed to qualify for
the finals in the shot put.
Steen’s best effort for the night
was 59-7. The event was won by
Dave Davis of the Camp Pen
dleton Marines with a heave of
62-7 V4.
RENFRO did salvage a third
place in the high hurdles, how
ever. He was clocked in 14.2,
compared to winner Hayes Jones’
13.4.
Other disappointed Ducks were
sprinter Dave Blunt, high jump
ers Terry Llewellyn and Paul
Stuber, and javelin thrower Les
Tipton, all of whom failed to
place.
There was one encouraging note
i for the Webfoots, however. John
i Burns, school record-holder in the
javelin, returned to action after
a long layoff due to injury and
sailed the spear 244-9 for a
third.
OSU, meanwhile, got a record
shattering performance from its
two-mile relay team. A quartet
composed of Jan Underwood, Jer
ry Brady. Bob Hoffman, and Mor
gan Groth ran 7:18.9 to set a new
mark.
Also. Gary Stenlund won t h e
javelin with a toss of 251-9.
The Beavers also got a sixth
in the 220 from Lynn Eves (21.3),
and a sixth in the sprint medley
: (3:28.0).
And now. the stage is set for
this year's third and final meet
ing between Oregon and OSU. In
previous encounters, the Ducks
edged the Beavers, 80-65, in duel
competition, and 7416 to 64Va at
the Far West Championships.
In both of those meets, the
Webfoots were forced to come
f>*9m behind late in the competi
tion to pull out the win.
Keith Forman will be compet
ing Thursday however. He was
out of the Far West Champion
ships (where the Beavers most se
riously challenged Duck domi
nance) with a pulled muscle in
his foot.
BILL BOWERMAN figures his
Ducks will win again, but he
thinks it will be close. He is
predicting a five point margin
for the Lemon and Green troops.
Tomorrow’s action will mark a
few milestones. It will end Ore
gon’s 1963 dual meet schedule,
it will be the Webfoot’s last com
petition before the NCAA cham
pionships in June, and it will be
the last appearance on Hayward
Field in Oregon spangles for such
stars as Forman, Steen, and
Burns.
Webfoots Split With OSU;
Finish As ND Runners-up
By JANET O’DELL
Emerald Sports News Editor
Oregon's baseball team chalk
ed up two victories over Oregon
State last weekend, but two
weren’t enough, as the Ducks had
to settle for the No. 2 spot in
the Northern Division for the sec
ond year in a row.
The Webfoots had to win three
of their four games with OSU
in order to take the league title.
However, the Beavers shut out
their opponents in two contests
to emerge as champions with a
11-4 record compared to Oregon’s
; 10-5 mark.
H. D. Murphy’s sharp defen
sive play and consistent hitting
i led the Ducks’ efforts, as the left
fielder was a key figure in both
of the team’s wins. Murphy went
four for eight Saturday to boost
his ND average to a .417 which
appears to be the top in the
league, although complete figures
have not been released In addi
tion, he was named recipient of
the Palmer Award, which is giv
en annually to the Oregon base
ball player chosen most valuable
by a squad vote.
Half Mast
J By RAY MAST
Emerald Sports Editor
I’m almost positive there was
a misplaced person at the Ore
gon-T)SU doubleheader Friday
afternoon.
Cecil Iota, er, Cecil Ira rather,
looked like a little leaguer who
got into the wrong park. His uni
form was big enough for 6’3” Ed
Vetter. He wore number two, but
the one probably fell off. One-half
seems more appropriate. Instead
of tucking the roll of his pants
at the knee, Ira tucks his at his
waist.
His delivery is something to be
hold. During warm-ups Ira throws
two-handed so he won’t tire his
arm. In the 13 2/3 innings Ira
pitched he threw about 10 fast
balls. And fast. He hit Bob Por
ter with a pitch and Porter laugh
ed all the way to first base. John
Livingston almost decided to use
the leaded bat. He may have got
ten better results.
Cal Dean was the only Duck
hitter to really solve Ira. Dean
blasted two singles off Little Bea
ver. The first was a bloop over
first base. Dean literally threw
the bat at the pitch. The second
was a tremendous 200-foot drive
into center field that dropped be
tween the OSU fielders.
There was a cameraman trying
to get a picture of Ira as he
walked from the field. The guy
had to use a telescopic lens to
even focus on Ira.
This Ira can hit too. He uses
about a 42-inch bat—I doubt if
the Babe used one this big—and
chokes up on it about a foot. No
body cheats him of his cuts ei
ther. I don’t remember seeing him
take a pitch in two games.
I rather hated to see Ira leave
the game, even though he was
not doing the Oregon cause much
good. He pitched 13 2/3 innings
of shutout ball. Actually the
Duck hitters didn’t knock Ira out
of the game. He came out on
his own freewill. I overheard a
conversation between Ira and
Ralph Coleman just before the
seventh inning started. Ira told
Coley that he had to catch a
bus to Corvallis at 5 o’clock be
cause he had to pitch a game
later that night.
Oregon State’s pitching sensa
tion Cecil Ira threw a three-hitter
in Friday’s opener to blank the
Ducks, 3-0. Ira walked one and
struck out four, while the loser,
Robbie Snow, whiffed ten and
also gave up one free pass. Snow
went the distance and allowed
only four hits.
The Beavers wrapped up t h e
game in the opening frame, as A1
Lehrer belted a two-run homer
over the left field fence.
Oregon’s championship hopes
were renewed in the second
game, as it edged past OSU, 2-1,
in twelve innings.
The hosts scored their winning
tally in the bottom of the twelfth
after pinch hitter Eric Hardin
led off the inning with a double,
advanced to third on Ken Jen
sen’s single and came in on
hurler Wally Palmberg’s fffcnt.
Palmberg, who relieved Arba
Ager in the sixth, took the win,
while Beaver Ron Stevens was
tabbed with the loss. Stevens took
over pitching duties in the sev
enth for Ira who also started the
second game. The latter hurled a
total of 13 2/3 innings.
Murphy saved the game for
his team in the top of the twelfth
when he prevented a potential
OSU home run by leaping high
in the air at the fence to pull
down Veeder South’s blast.
Saturday, the Webfoots trav
eled to Corvallis and again met
opposition right from the first
inning on, as they were shut out,
5-0. Oregon State tallied twice in
the first to acquire the lead that
it never relinquished.
The Ducks came back with an
other late inning effort in the
nightcap, as Ed Vetter’s eleventh
inning homer with Murphy on
gave the visitors a 4-3 victory.
Thatch McLeod, who started the
first contest and got the loss,
came in as a reliever in the sec
ond game to take the win.
