The Beavers came the closest to breaking the Bearcat series of wins, now extended too ten In four years. In the last game only to see Willamette stage a tvo-rnn rally In the ninth to win. Willamette was in trouble in the first two Innings of the first game when the wildness of Pitch er Walter Weaver gave the Bea vers two runs but Larry Nonnen kamp, junior hurler, took the mound to limit the Beavers to three hits the rest of the way in as his mates pounded three Bea ver pitchers for 16 base blows. The Beavers were limited to four hits In each of the- two games. Freshman Jack Criswell, a southpaw who was pitching his first collegiate game, went the route In the second game. . Parade Gets Going Willamette's run parade start ed; in the fourth Inning of the first game when Bill Beard tripled and Ragsdale and Nunnenkamp socked out two-baggers for two runs. Orren's double in the fifth brought in Hagedorn for another tally and the Bearcats continued the extra-base barrage in the sixth when Williamson doubled, scor ing Shinn. Four; hits in the seventh brought in two runs and four Beaver boots in the ninth, coupled with one hit, accounted for three more tallies. Three Beaver hurlers, Takami, Fenger and Houdek, tried to stop the Bearcats In the first game. Behind 4 to 3 going into the ninth in the second game, Shlnn doubled to left to open the Bear cat rally. Orren was issued a base on balls and Weisgerber flied out to center. Aden singled to center to score Shinn and tie the count and 0ren came home with the winner on Beard's long fly to left field.

Weather Hampers Orange Trackmen CORVALLIS. April 17 -JP-Oregon State's rarilty track squad conditioning slowed con siderably this week for the op ening relay meet with the Uni versity of Oregon at Eugene next Saturday afternoon, faced with the double adversity of being forced to .vacate the Orange cin der oval while turfing of Bell field continues and adverse wea ther conditions. Coach Lodell admitted strength In one event, however, and that la the high jump. He also has "hopes for a good showing in the prints and distance relays. Duane Ackerson, who scaled 6 feet 3 Inches, led the jumpers in training this week. . Other high jumpers listed for the coming competitions are Hal Hessig and Pete Beamer. A pair of sophomores are out standing among the sprint pros .. pects. They are Boh Leslie, for taer Klamath Falls prep speed ster, and Bill Hoyer, former sprinter of Benson Tech, Port land. Hultenbergs Make Good Trout Catch : Fooling the experts who aald it wasn't possible to catch fish In such weather, Carl Hultenberg and his son. Bad, came back to Salem yesterday from YalseU with a limit catch of 80 trout for two days fishing. The fish, the smallest ot which measured 11 inches, were caught In Valsets pond, some of them during a heavy hailstorm. Hultenberg reported that most of the fish were caught on salmon eggs, a few on worms and very few with flies. The Hultenbergs went Into Val seti on the speeder after running through high water by "starterr power" to get to the railhead. Roads into -YalseU are Impassa ble. ' .;: Hultenberg stated that the pond Is dropping rapidly and is clear ing an. It was high and roily wnen they arrived at Valsets Wednes kept its baseball superiority intact yesterday as it took that the Beavers have failed ojcsir Boy, what scenery! If any of you golfers failed to motor out to he Salem Golf club yester day, you missed something! For those familiar fairways had become part of the Willamette river. f 1 ' It's true, the golfing was diffi cult. Such fairways and greens as were above water, were in excel lent condition, but It was some thing of a problem to figure out nine holes. A suggested course is something like this: Play No. 10, par 4; play over to 13, par 3; play down 13th fairway to 14, par 5; play 13, par 4 : aeross-lots to 16, par 3; play 17, par 4; play 18, par 5; play 10, par 4; back to nine, par 4. There's a nine-hole course, par 36. Plenty 6porty with brand new water hazards. The only trouble is you'll meet peo ple. But the trip out there is well worth while, just for a glimpse at the part of the course you can't play. Of course by today, the water may have gone down some, but any loss in scenery will be compensated by increas ed playing area. Yesterday there were two ver itable rivers pouring across the lower portions of the course, one cutting off the first green and the ninth tee, the ! other boiling In from the woods alongside the eighth green. They quickly unite and spread out ' nearly a quarter of a mile wide, lapping at the edge of the seventh green, cover ing the :11th fairway and green completely. Water was still, we estimated, two feet over the high est point on the fourth green and covered about one-third of the 11th. It had already receded a foot. : One of the queerest things is . to discover that the seventh green is actually lower than the eighth, despi4 that downhill appearance of the eighth fair way. And the water coming out of the woods j near there ap pears to run uphill. But it ought to all run away the early part of this coming week and clear the stage for the kjek off of formal competition this 1 sea son; the qualifying round of the Active club's third annual - city tournament, which opens Satur day the 24 th and runs through Sunday, May 2. All through May things will be popping, with match rounds of this tournament and also inter-city contests sched uled for each week.

The word "punch" is used ad visedly. There have been more wars and rumors of war among1 the base ball boys this spring: than we can remember.

Sr I , The most celebrated knuckle-tossing interlude of the spring campaign was the skirmish between the St. Louis Cards and a couple of sports writers.
