(Special)—A pair of fine Ditching performances by Jon Wheeler and Rick Mealev weren’t enough to halt Stanford here Saturday as the Indians edged the Oregon Ducks in a Pac-8 doubleheader, 2-1, and 3-0. A day earlier in Berkeley, the California Bears ripped 18 hits as Tom McAlone blanked Oregon for a 9-0 victory. , , The Ducks, now 2 4 in conference play and 15 7 overall, move to Los Angeles, where they face UCIA in a 12 noon doubleheader today and Southern California in a single game Tuesday. Head Coach Don K.rsch has indicated that he will choose between Dave Anderson (2-0. 0.00). Fred Massar (2 0. 3.50) and Jim Van Wyck (24), 3 80) for the two starting assignments today. 1’ieci Cardwell (2-1. 2.33) will throw Tuesday. WHEELER PITCHES THREE HITTER Wheller, now 4-1, allowed Stanford only three hits in the extra inning opener, which went one inning over the scheduled seven before being de cided by a bases-loaded squeeze bunt One of the hits allowed by Wheeler was a fourth-inning homer by Jack Hodges. , . Walks—Wheeler issued eight—finally proved to he the undoing for the senior right hander. All American first baseman Mark Marquess led oil the Stanford eighth with a base on balls. Wheelei threw late to second on a sacrifice attempt b> Hodges, then wild pitched the runners up a base and intentionally walked pitcher Bob Boone, the Indians’ regular third baseman. With an 0-2 count Chuck Williams delivered a perfect bunt to the left of the pitchers mound as Marquess raced home from third. ARNOLD SCORES ON ERROR Steve Arnold scored a totally unearned run for Oregon’s only tally in the second. A fumble, wild pitch, and two throwing errors moved him around the sacks. _ . ._ Only two other times was Oregon in scoring position—after Dick Whitman's fifth inning double and Earle YVickiunas eigntn inning inpie. Boone, a senior pitching this year for the first time since high school, struck out eight and walked no one while giving up four hits. The .319 hitter now has a 5-0 record and an 0.79 ERA. The Ducks picked up six hits off 6-foot-7 Rod Peteete in the second game of the doubleheader, but fine control by the big hurler and excellent Stanford defense made the difference in the 3-0 Indian victory. Oregon’s Rick Mealey gave up only two earned runs in seven and two-thirds innings, but his per formance wasn’t good enough to stop the Indians. Singles by Russ Tweet and Poteete and a triple by catcher Bob Edie accounted for two Indian runs in the second. Those tallies were the difference until the eighth stanza when, with two out. Tweet singled through the hole to left. He moved all the way around to score when first baseman Arnold let Colby Howe’s throw' get away from him on a ground ball by Les Kaufman. Dave Anderson quelled the Stanford rally after another single. WICKLUND, JOHNSON SINGLE Oregon threatened twice. In the sixth, Wick lund and Dave Johnson rapped consecutive singles with two out, but Bob Main went down swinging. In the eighth, the Ducks had two run ners thrown out at third following a pair of Stan ford errors and a single by Mealey. Oregon made a last gasp in the ninth on a two out pinch single by Ron Molony, now hitting .778, but Poteete struck out Arnold to end the contest. Poteete, like Boone, whiffed eight and walked none, extending to 29 the number of consecutive innings the Ducks have gone without receiving a base on balls from opposing pitchers. Oregon was robbed of four base hits on a pair of fine fielding plays by Marquess plus gems by Poteete and left-fielder Hodges. In the loss to California, veteran McAlone limited the Ducks to five hits while striking out nine as his teammates pounded Oregon’s Card well and Massar for 18 safeties. The Bears didn't score against Cardwell, the ace of the Oregon staff with a 1.14 ERA going in to the game, until the fifth. Jim Corcoran singled and scored on a tre mendous double by Bob Rebuschatis. In the sixth, four consecutive two-out singles brought home two more tallies. An inning later, Don Wilcox tripled to left after Dave Hagan singled off Howe’s chest and Dave Texdahl walked. Wilcox scored on Irv Baker’s squeeze bunt. Massar yielded three more runs in the eighth. Four singles, an Oregon error and two wild pitches were the difference. Most: serious Duck threat was in the seventh, when Garry Nall scampered to third on a two-out single by Van W.vck and was thrown out trying to score after the ball escaped the grip of center fielder Texdahl.
