making him the highest scoring all-around man Oregon has ever
had.

CORVALLIS — Who says
women's softball can't be interest
ing?
The Oregon women’s softball
squad, in perhaps its most satisfy
ing win, came back from a Tues
day home defeat to sweep a dou
ble header from Oregon State, 7-3
and 3-2, in a three-game series to
determine a qualifier for the
AlAW-sanctioned Women's Col
lege World Series May 13-16 in
Omaha, Neb.
The Ducks, 5-1 losers to OSU in
Eugene, spaced three singles by
Debi Segura, Allyson Smith and
Shawna Baxter between walks to
score six runs in the fourth for the
big inning in the first game.
Then, with the series tied 1-1,
Oregon reserve pitcher Connie
Anderson whacked a double with
bases loaded and two out to score
three runs in the third inning of the
second contest. The Beavers got
two runs in the fourth, but couldn't
quite make up the deficit.
Shawna Baxter, who was on the
mound for Oregon in all three
games, didn’t let the earlier loss
bother her as she pitched 14
straight innings against OSU.

"It was a total team effort,” she
continued. “It wasn't just one per
son for sure."
Oregon, now with undisputably
one of the best women's pro
grams in the Northwest, has had
six squads qualify for national
competition this year — cross
country, gymnastics, field hockey,
volleyball, swimming and now
softball.
Softball coach Becky Sisley,
however, was very happy with her
team's play in the second game
"That was really a tight game —
even back and forth," said Sisley.
“People were really on their toes
They didn't let the errors in the first
six) because they knew it didn't
matter."
Anderson's timely double,
though, drew the most praise.
"Connie had a really nice, long
hit," said the Oregon coach. "It
certainly came at the right time.
She played heads-up — everyone
played heads-up.”
The Ducks' JV team didn’t have
as much luck at OSU, however, as
it lost its first game of the season
3-9 to the Beaver JV's.

Judge nixes Shelton suit
PORTLAND (AP) — Judge Gus
J. Solomon of the U S. District
court dismissed Tuesday the $2
million suit filed by former Oregon
State University basketball player
Lonnie Shelton against the Spirits
of St. Louis of the American Bas
ketball Association
The suit was dismissed partly
on grounds Shelton is not a citizen
of Oregon Portland lawyers rep
resenting Shelton said the suit
would be filed in St. Louis, where
Shelton signed a $1.2 million con
tract with the Spirits in June 1975.
The suit says Shelton was “in
duced to sign by fraud and misrep
reservationIt asks that the con
tract be declared void as well as
that damages be awarded.
John King, a St Louis lawyer
who represents the Spirits, said
the suit might be out of place in St
Louis, too, since the Spirits have
closed their office there and are
trying to relocate in a city where
they might get better attendance
at games
Shelton, who became ineligible
to play college basketball after the
dispute over his professional con
tract, has applied for the National
Basketball Association hardship
draft, since his class has not
graduated from OSU.
