Diamond Team Loses Two to OSU OREGON shortstop Ron Delplanche fires toward first base for a put out late in the first contest of the Duck-Oregon State dia mond series Friday at Howe Field. Delplanche fell to the ground after the play and the Webfoots fell to the Beavers. 3-2. By GORDON ROSENBERG Sports Writer It was simply a case of not Betting them when they were needed. In Oregon’s weekend baseball series with Oregon State, the Ducks caine out on top in every category, except games won. The Ducks out scored (10 to 9). out hit (24 to 14), and out horn ered (3 to 1) the Beavers, but still lost two of the three games. OSU downed the Webfoots. 3-2, on Howe Field Friday, and the teams split a Saturday double header at Coleman Field in Cor vallis. Oregon took the first game on OSU's home field. 5-2, but the Beavers came back to capture the finale, 4-3. "We had a lot of opportunities in all the games, but we couldn't get the big hit when we needed it." stated Oregon coach Don Kirsch. All three games were tight pitching battles with walks, sac rifices. and errors contributing largely to the scoring. Errors Hurt Ducks Unfortunately. Oregon also led by a wide margin in the error department, committing nine mis cues while OSU made only two. Emerald SPORTS Webfoots Top Cal, SJS In typical Bill Bowerman fash ion the Oregon Ducks were not awed by powerful San Jose State or potentially dangerous Califor nia Saturday, capturing two dual track and field meets and also nabbing the triangular action at Edwards Stadium on the Cal cam pus. Many Ducks came up with their individual efforts or best times this season in whipping SJS. 67 - 64. in triangular com petition. Cal garnered 50 coun ters. In double dual computations the Ducks beat SJS. 80-65. and Cal. 78-67. The Spartans, led by their amazing sprinter. Tommy Smith, dumped Cal, 81-63 For the Ducks, Neal Steinhau er and Wade Bell each won two events. Ken Moore finished with a first and second, and Bob Blum got a first and a third. Brame Surprises However, the real surprise was Herman Brame, the splindly legged broad jumper and triple jumper. Brame gained two sec ond places and provided the edge in the triangular competition that allowed the improving Ducks their narrow win. Brame got a best of 22-8t2 in the broad jump and then rested awhile before reeling oft a 47-434 in the triple jump for his all time best effort. Brame led the charge of best performances as nine of Coach Bowerman’s spikers ran. threw or jumped to best efforts under the very warm California sun. The heat did have its draw backs though, as Bowerman con ceded that the heat affected a few of his athletes. Steinhauer, even though he did not improve on his school rec ords in the shot or the disc, work ed for stadium records of 64-*-2 and 176-Vs All of his fair shot-put efforts were over the 60 foot mark. Bell won both the mile and the half-mile with times of 1:50.1 in the half and a last ditch 4:04 5 win over teammate Ken Moore in the mile. Moore ran second in 4:05.0 and Dave Wilbourn was fourth in 4:12.3. All Oregon mile times were life time best efforts. And in the 880. sophomore ace Mike Crunican from Koseburg reeled of his all time fastest with a flashy 1:51.8. Blum 440 Best Blum continued the assault with a 140 clocking in the 120 highs to tie with Paul Kerry, the NCAA champion from 1965, for the best mark on the coast and one of the best in the nation this spring.

QUESTIONNAIRES MONDAY Kirtman of Cal, followed very closely by Ducks' Marcial Hunter and Paul Elliott. Blum continued to another best elTort of 53 5 for the 440 hurdles and took third in that event. California's Paddy Mc Crary won the event in a record shattering time of 51 9. also one of the best in the nation this year. Other Duck winners included Bill Heikkila in the javelin with a toss of 212-11 Ci and Moore’s 9:00.7 two-mile time. Bob Williams turned in a clock ing of 9:05 4 for his all-time best. The meet's outstanding athlete, : Tommy Smith of San Jose, took the 100, the 200. the broadjump, and anchored the winning 440 re lay team and the second place mile relay quartet. (Continued on page 5) "Errors hurt us quite a bit. We had a few defensive lapses,” com mented Kirsch These Webfoot errors gave the Beavers live u n earn e d runs, enough to reverse the outcome of the series. Friday’s game went down to the wire with Oregon threatening to pull it out in the ninth. Oregon State took advantage of a walk and a two-base error on a dropped fly ball to put the first two batters of the second inning in scoring position. Junior outfielder Jim Skoog drove in one run with a single and another scored on a double play to give the Beavers a 20 lead. Oregon got one run back in the lifth as Dennis Baldridge singled in Wayne Smith from third base With the help of another Web foot error, OSU scoi ed what proved to be the winning run in the seventh inning. Olrirh Homers Six-foot, six-inch sophomore first baseman Carl Weide, who also was a member of Paul Va lenti’s FAC champion basketball team, reached base on an error by the Webfoot third baseman Again Skoog provided the hit ting power, doubling Weide home with a line shot to the left field fence. Oregon threatened to catch the Beavers in the ninth Sophomore third baseman Phil Olrich led olT with a 320 foot home run to right One out later, pinch hitter Steve Hunker rapped a sharp sin gle to left and the Ducks had the tying run on base. But OSU pitcher Jack Hum phrey bore down and retired the top Duck hitters, Baldridge ami Ron Delplanche, to end the game "Our hitting was spotty," added Kirseh. "Several of the hoys who should be hitting have not come around yet,” Humphrey, a junior right hander from Portland, went all the way for his fifth win against one loss. Ken Hadden, the starter, pitch ed five innings and was tagged with the loss. Jerry Gjesvold fin ished up for the Ducks "Hadden and Gjesvold pitched pretty well,” praised Kirseh. Iton, Dale Hit Shots Home runs by Delplanche and Dale Elder decided Saturday's opener in a hurry. Delplanche hit a solo shot in the first and Elder smacked a two-run blast in the third. Bunker doubled in the third and sixth to drive in one run and score another. OSU scored single runs in the fifth und sixth Sophomore out fielder Ceof l.ankow, leading Hea ver hitter at .420, drove in an un earned run in the fifth. Darryl Sumincrfleld, another hard hitting sophomore outfielder, doubled to lead otT the sixth, and junior catcher Bill Homer singled him home. Mike Nicksic, a sophomore left hander, went the distance for Ore gon, giving up two runs on six hits. He struck out six Heavers and allowed only one walk in gaining his second win against no losses. Nicksic Shines “I thought we had reasonable pitching," stated Kirsch ‘‘I was worried about Oregon State's fine hitting, but our pitching kept them pretty well in check. Nicksic pitched well." Heaver pitchers Tom Hobbs and Denny Tower walked six and struck out five. Hobbs was the [ loser. Oregon State started out on the right foot in the final game of the series l.ankow singled, Sum merfield walked, and Bonser ' slammed a 350-foot h o m e r to right. The Beavers got only one more hit in the game Summerfield sin gled in the third, but was quickly erased in a doubleplay. OSU did, however, put together two walks, a sacrifice, and a costly Oregon •error for a crucial run in the fifth. Meanwhile, Oregon tallied once in each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings to cut the score to 4-3 going into the last inning The big blows were singles by • Bunker, Smith, and Don Fooley, a double by Dick Ogan, and a triple by Baldridge. Delplanche and Rich Armstrong hit back-to-back singles to open the last inning and moved into 1 scoring position on a wild pitch. But at this point, beaver hurler Wayne Swango, who went all the 1 way for the victory, settled down , and retired the next three men in order to end the first series ; of the league season in OSU's ! favor. ‘‘Of course. I'm always disap pointed to lose a series to Oregon ! State,” summed up Kirsch, “but there's still a long way to go this ! season."
