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.

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.

"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

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

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.

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."

Washington in a three-game series
