Only batters ‘strike’ in minors
By DONALD COULTER
Of the Emerald
The current players strike
may have postponed baseball in
major league cities but the na
tional pastime is alive and thriv
ing in Eugene
The Eugene Emeralds are
playing professional baseball —
unaltered by the strike that has
ground the major league season
to a halt
The Ems, a Class A minor
league affiliate of the Cincinnati
Reds, play against clubs from
Oregon and Washington in the
six-team Northwest League
And strike or no strike the
Ems are a success story at the
gate

Baseball fans flock
to see Eugene team
According to figures
compiled by "The Sporting
News," only 10 of 133 minor
league teams drew more fans
per game in 1980 than Eugene
— teams from cities like Denver
Salt Lake City and Nashville, all
with substantially larger
populations and stadium
capacities
This year, the statistics picked
up where 1980 left off On
opening night the Ems set an
all-time attendance record of
6.189 — almost 700 beyond
capacity
"We could have had 300 to
400 more in here that night but
the fire marshall closed us
down," says Ems business
manager Jim Brasher
Crowds such as opening
night's are an exception, but
Brasher says there is a core of
2.200 to 2.300 fans fhat come to
see the Ems every time they
play
People come out here
because it is good inexpensive
entertainment," he says "We
fill a void in the summer

between University sports sea
sons "
For the players, Class A
baseball isn't all fun and games
Overnight bus rides to Walla
Walla hours of extra batting
and fielding practice and other
rigors of minor league life take
their toll After three to four
years only a handful will climb
from the lowest rung of the min
or leagues to the high-paying
jobs in the majors
Until players reach the big
time, six-figure contracts are
just a dream According to
Brasher, salaries of Class A
players average approximately
$700 a month
Consequently, the names on
the roster change so drama
tically from year to year that tans
need a scorecard to figure out
who's on first Only four players
remain from last year's Ems
squad
Brasher says Ems manager
Greg Riddoch. in his fourth
straight season as a coach here,
bridges the gap
Riddoch provides continui
ty It's hard for people to ac
quaint themselves with new
faces on the field every year
They identify with Riddoch
Because of the heavy spring
rains in this region, the North
west League plays a short
season' of 70 games that begin
in late June and end in early
September By comparison
most minor league teams play
140 games
Ems games are played at
Civic Stadium (20th Avenue and
Oak Street) and start at 7 30

Olum sets admission deadlines
With a record enrollment
predicted for fall term Universi
ty administrators are limiting
enrollment for the first time
through an early application
deadline for incoming students
New freshmen applications
must be postmarked by Aug 15
to be considered tor fall term
admission, said University Pres
Paul Olum Wednesday Poten
tial graduate students must
meet a Sept 1 deadline No
deadline has been set tor
transfer students
Enrollment predictions tor fall
term range from 17 400 to
17.900 The University's record
tor enrollment was 17,384 in
I975 Olum said 17,500 is about
the maximum number of
students the campus could
handle without affecting
academic quality
Although funding from the
Legislature may fall far short of
what the University needs to
support the pedicted student
increase Olum said enrollment
will not be cut in the fall to ease
budget pressure
"We re not about to cut
students out at this stage of the
game
If the Legislature does under
fund the University severely,
academic programs would be
cut which would naturally limit
enrollment Olum added
The enrollment deadline also
will give University ad
ministrators more time to
prepare for the incoming
students, said admissions dir
ector Jim Buch
The leap in enrollment was
attributed to increased aware
ness of the quality of the
University and economic pres
sures on the |ob market
"I think the word has gotten
out about the academic quality
ot this institution Olum said
