Delplanche's Single Edges L&C
By LYNN MUCKBN
Sports Writer
Justice will always be served.
For lOVi innings nothing went
right for Ron Delplanche in
Thursday’s game with Lewis and
Clark at Howe Field.
He grounded out twice in the
early innings, in addition to
committing an error, and twice,
in the fifth and eighth stanzas,
was robbed of sure extra-base
hits by sensational catches.
His only base hit was on a
fielding miscue by the Pioneer
pitcher on a poorly-bunted ball, a
play which should have been
scored as an error.
The Duck star was due when
he came up in the last of the
eleventh with the bases loaded,
and he responded with a clean
single to right field that push
ed in Jim Moore from third base
for the winning run in the 3-2
ball game.
Long Rap
Delplanche's winning rap. iron
ically, traveled about 40 feet in
the air. Two of his previous outs
were hit to the 270 foot sign in
centerfield before they were pull
ed down on a pair of running
grabs by Lewis and Clark out
fielder Ed ChefT.
The Webfoots opened the scor
ing in the second inning on Rich
Armstrong’s single, a stolen base,
and an error by the Pioneer sec
ond baseman.
They increased the margin in
the fifth when Denny Baldridge
singled to left after two more
Lewis and Clark miscues. driv
ing in Monroe with the Ducks'
second run.
The Pioneers finally got to
Oregon hurler Mike Nicksic in
the eighth panel as singles by
Brad Shaw and pitcher Bill Zel
enka, combined with three cost
ly Duck errors, pushed a pair
of unearned runs across the plate.
Threat Quelled
The Webfoots threatened ngain
in the tenth, as a pair of bunt
singles by Baldridge, and I)el
planche, and an infield out by
Steve Bunker put men on second
and third with two outs. But
Scott Cress’s 370 foot drive was
pulled down by the speedy Cheff
in center field to kill the rally.
Moore opened the bottom of the
eleventh with a single to left, ad
vanced to second on a walk to
pinch hit Dick Ogan. and set the
stage for Delplanche's game win
Form Charts Predict Win
For Trackmen on Saturday
By DAVE BARONTI
Sports Writer
There’s a consensus agreement
in Seattle and Eugene alike that
something's going to be changed
in Washingtonland after this Sat
urday.
Namely, the University of
Washington's undefeated track
and-field team.
Like Oregon, the Huskies have
been in action twice so far this
season. But the competition the
Huskies have faced has been any
thing but spectacular.
And that’s principally the rea
son Washington turned back
Idaho 98-47 last Saturday and
won a five-way meet the Satur
day before with 89Mi points to 60
for second place Central Wash
ington State.
But if season bests mean any
thing, the invading Ducks, de
fending NCAA co-champions, will
trounce the Huskies something
like 89-44 in Saturday's PAC
opener for both schools.
Not counting the two mile,
which Oregon has not yet run
this spring, the Ducks figure to
win ten events to six for the
Huskies.
And that’s giving Washington
the benefit of the “toss up” con
tests. If Oregon should surprise
and win a few of these events—
and that is not unlikely—they
could turn the meet into a rout,
piling up 90 or 100 points.
Some of the in doubt contests:
• Long Jump — the Ducks,
with a best of 22-5, are not strong
here—but neither is Washington
where Doug Westlake has a best
of 23-V4 and Jerry Williams’, 23-1.
One point in Oregon’s favor is
that Oregon’s jumpers are just
getting into condition and are, in
Coach Bill Bowerman’s words, of
unknown quality.”
• Discus—Oregon’s Neil Stein
hauer split with Husky A1 Pem
berton during their two meetings
last year, and the competition

this year is no less close. Stein
hauer has a best of 171-234 this
spring. Pemberton, 171-4.
• +40 Intermediate Hurdles—
Williams of Washington has the
best mark (54.5) but Oregon
sophomore Bob Blum, if he runs,
has run a 54 9 and appears to
have almost unlimited potential.
• Triple Jump—School record
holder Werner Sonnenschein is
still not in shape—but his jump
ing over 49 feet last year was a
surprise to everybody including
himself. Williams’ mark of 45-10
certainly isn’t that far out.

Kirsch was happy about the

commented Kirsch. "He wasn't
real fast, but he got the job j

“It was good to see Hon Del
