Newspaper Page Textk A JSA ..!v 5. By RON G EMM ELL . Flggers seldom fib, so per. hapa 'twould be best to let that 9-5 Ct, shellacking by Oregon's Ducks last Saturday rt in the archives. v it ! far beyond us to gfve that game as much of an airing Oregon's third baseman, Wtm- --- iuc peuei in mat i clash, but we'll point out a few particular. Number one par. ticalar Is. that, while Coach Keene's crew was shelled to a baseball death. It revealed noogh strength to Ug It as. potentially a better ball rlob than ragy Kerne won Id have ns believe. It has its weak spots all right, lot e.m thortj look to be weak because of lack of practice ant not be. cause they're fundamentally unbound. : Cats Outhit Ducks. The 'Cats poked ut three more blows than did the Oregons, and they stuck more of them to gether in one inning than the Docks. Twelve hits, all of them of decisive nature, came off the Willamette bats to nLe off the University's. In the fourth frame the Bearcats rapped four singles off Pitcher Creighton. while the most bits the Ducks got together la any one Inning was three in the third. The last Of those three was that smash of Q a inn's over the old grandstand for the circuit, chasing In three tallies ahead of him. Thnt was the blow that gave Hobsonj crew its Tictory. 'Cat Flinger jlob White said tne pitch got away from him, and sailed eight down the gut. . - Timing Poorl It didn t only get away from him, but it got clear away from Sweetland diamond in short order. Qninn eased his big frame behind his swing, and it - was another $1.308 worth ""of horse hide-covered agate gone to glory not to mention the ball ame. When that happened all the bags were tenanted, there were two away and the count was two strikes and one ball on Mr. 'Quinn. Which tell a story, wouldn't you say? By all laws of the Abner Doubleday game. that was a poor time to let a pitch get so far away that it was In the groove, and worse Tet when It was a fast one. Errorless Ball. Afield, the 'Cats -were also superior to the Ducks. They went errorless while Oregon was charged with two boots. Willa mette's mistakes occured from the mound and in running the bases.. The 'Cat pitchers hadn't advanced far enough to be able to cut loose with a full reper toire. Their hooks weren't "hook ing" and they didn't mix up their offerings enongv. Lark of a change of pace, especially, was evident. That, as can the faulty base- running, csiv 1 e?. corrected with1 more work and practice. Don't for a minute think that they're not getting it. Headman Keene is pouring itVe in ont landtshly liberal doses this week, in preparation for the strond two-game series with Oregon this week-end. ? Quinn a Slugger. By pointing out that White's "get away pitch was the one cowtafled by Qninn, no credit is meant to be takes away from the latter. He's a slugger, that nonchalant ex-Grant high of Portland paster. His first ; time up be slashed a drive into center field that caromed off the light pole there for two bases. His circuit clout came in his second appearance at the dish, and m m third he poured the wood to an 'Inside pitch ta hoist it far ver Ora Tec's head along the left field line for three bases. In his fourth and last time up he connected solidly to line out to Watts at second. In that game he hit. Just as effectively, an inside pitch, a "slot" ball and an outside pitch. Next to Quinn, Willamette's Lee Shinn looked far and away the beat with the woods. Iee maced the apple in every trip up, crashing out a double, two singles, lofting out once and getting a life on a boot in his last time up. Khmn's three Mows were just that. No bkop-, : ers.

"Right when I'm keeping the wires hot in an effort to locate a first-rate 130-pounder for Tom my, in walks the postman with a letter from Jackie Young, Toledo Indian, asking for a chance on the card." Young Wants Chance Young has just returned to the Siletz reservation after a sojourn in California where he met a number of good boys. As soon as he learned there was an oppor tunity for fist f lingers who use "no foolin " methods In the ring here in Salem, he penned a query to Matchmaker Jack. "This Tommy-Young bout is several shades better than a semi- pro rating," says Wilson, "far Tommy has had a lot of experi ence, having won his last 14 bat tles, and Young looked plenty good when he was first starting here several years ago."

A calk-booted battle between two lumberjacks in Oregon's vir gin forests could not have been rougher, tougher and more "scru pleless" than that staged by Hoo sier Jack Lipscomb and Noel Franklyn in the 45-minute fray.
