Cal came back in the second game fiasco to claim a 10-9 win in what was probably the wild est college game on the Pacific Coast this year. The Bears scored three un earned runs off Oregon starter and winner Fred Cardwell, now 4-3, in the fourth inning of the first game. Two walks and a dropped fly ball by usually re liable Phil Bushman loaded the bases with one o u t. Losing pitcher Bill Schofield launched a two-run single up the middle, then Dennis Dalton’s fielder’s choice brought home the in ning’s third run. But the Ducks, who left only one runner on base through the first five innings, put together four hits in the sixth to take the win. Webfoots rally A walk to pinch-hitter Dave Johnson and single by Earle Wicklund put men at first and third with one out. Bushman, who had four hits in the double header to raise his Pacific-8 bat ting average to .407, hit a high bouncer to the pitcher’s mound, and Schofield’s throw to first was too late to get the Duck speedster flying down the line. Then, with two out, Colby Howe drilled a two-run single to cen ter. A stolen base by pinch runner Bob Main and intention al walk to Bill Lawrence set the stage for Van Wyck's game winning double. Gary Schutz set the Bears down in order in the seventh to save the win for Cardwell. The second contest was a seorekeeper’s nightmare. There The Oregon Ducks close their current six-game home stand against the California Pacific-8 teams today with a 1:30 p.m. single game against Stanford at Howe Field. Jon Wheeler (5-2) is scheduled to be on the mound for the Ducks. Stanford, still tied for the lead in Pacific-8 play with a 13-4 mark, is paced by All-Amer ican first baseman Mark Mar quess, outfielder Jack Hodges, and third baseman-pitcher Bob Boone. Boone or Rod Poteete is the Indians’ probable pitcher to day. were four ties and five lead changes in a clash that saw 19 runs, 25 hits, six errors, 21 bases on balls, four home runs, five other extra base hits, 24 runners left on base, and in numerable costly Oregon base running errors. The Ducks picked up a first inning tally when Cal starter Greg Tellis balked, after a ground rule double by Bushman spaced between two walks had loaded the bases. Dave Tex dahl's solo homer tied the game in the second, and Cal jumped ahead in the third on a two-out error and Jim Corcoran’s triple. Ducks bounce back But Oregon staged a two-out third-inning rally to leap ahead 4-2 and drive Tellis from the mound. Singles by Van Wyck and Bob Ossey, two Cal errors, a double by Dave Dingman and a single by pinch-hitter Larry Hand provided the scoring. In the fourth, a walk to Bushman, stolen base and Gary Nall's single gave Oregon a three-run edge. Cal came back, scoring and loading the bases against relief pitcher Schutz with a single and three walks. Fred Massar re placed Schutz on the mound, immediately dealt up a grand slam homer to Wayne Burd, and the Ducks found themselves trailing 7-5. A fifth-inning single by Wick lund brought Oregon a run closer, then the Webfots jump ed ahead 8-7 in the seventh fol lowing singles by Bushman and Howe. But Van Wyck, Oregon’s fifth pitcher, ran into trouble in the ninth after blanking the Bears in the three previous innings. Burd hit a one out homer to tie the game, and shortstop Den nis Dalton, an eighth-inning re placement, got a hold of a Van Wyck pitch with two outs and drove in two runs with the sec ond homer of his life. Oregon wasn’t giving up yet. With two out irr the ninth, Rog er Schiewe walked and Howe tripled to center. But first game losing pitcher Bill Schofield came out of the bullpen to get the final out. Oregon, which outhit Cal 16 9, had at least one hit every inning but left 14 runners on base. Cal is now 30-16 overall and 11-7 in conference. The Ducks, despite the split, are assured of a winning season. They are 21-17, 7-11 in Pacific-8 play. WINGER ASUO PRES. ALPERT ASUO V.P. Getting Married?
