closed their pre-season schedule
against Willamette here Saturday
afternoon with "base-hits to burn"
humiliating Willamette 20-4.
The Webfoots pounded out a
19-hit attack, which featured four
home runs. Meanwhile, Sopho
more Don Siegmund scattered six
hits effectively in easing through
for the win. Siegmund also helped
his cause with two hits, including
a three-run home run in the fifth
frame.
Other Oregon home runs were
secured by Darly Nelson in the
third with one on, Nick Schmer
in the third with two on, and Pete
Williams in the seventh with the

SCHMER WAS the big gun in
the Oregon bat parade, with four
hits in five trips and five RBI's.
Nelson had a triple in addition to
his home run, and four RBI's.
Siegmund also wound up with
four RBI's.
Four Willamette pitchers felt
the brunt of the attack, with Mike
Glenn the starting hurler, lasting
tnrougn live innings of the on
slaught. Oregon picked up two runs in
the second, and six more in the
third to salt the game away. The
Ducks added at least one run in
the remaining six inning.
SIEGMUND WAS in complete
control of the game, though he
gave up seven walks. He struck
out three. Willamette picked up
three of its hits in the fifth when
it scored three runs. The final
Willamette marker was tallied in
the ninth when leftfielder Gene
Jones connected for the circuit,
All of the Webfoot regulars
made a notch m the hit column.
The victory closes Oregon's nre

A quartet of swift-footed and strong-hearted Oregon Web
foots shattered a pair of mile-relay records before 2000
screaming spectators at Hayward Field Saturday afternoon
to give Coach Bill Bowerman's thinclads a stirring 69-61V4
dual track meet victory over wasnington s nusKies. oacn
Hec Edmundson's Seattle squad was figured as the "team to
beat", in Northern Division competition this season and
with the aid of three Oregon freshmen and Decathlon Cham
pion George Widenfelt, the Huskies nearly turned tne tncK.
Winning the first five events and rolling up a nearly 24-point ad
vantage, it looked like the Webfoots would sail through without a
threat. With the count 48V4 to 23 after eight events, Bowerman
was making plans to run his shock troops in the final relay event.
Washington swept the discus, as was expected, but the Huskies
also came up with nine points in the low hurdles which wasn't
expected. That closed the gap to only four points. Then Widenfelt,
competing in his fourth event of the aftenfoon, nosed out Jack Smith
and Tommy Edwards of Oregon in the broad jump, leaving the re
lay the deciding event.
The Oregon margin, steadily dwindling, was down to three points, af
Oregon's Bill Fell and Bob Hut
chison of Washington took their
marks for the first leg of the re
lay. Fell, who had previously won
the 100 and 220-yard dashes, man
aged to pound his way on even
terms with the Husky, who had
given Oregon's ace sprinter a sur
prising test in both the century
and furlong.

Lawlor was named as manager of
the Reno Silver Sox, who will
play as an independent semi-pro
baseball team for the season.
Lawlor, athletic director and
head coach at the University of
Nevada, formerly played in the
Pacific Coast League.
The Silver Sox competed for the
past two seasons in the Far West
League, which abandoned .opera
tions mis season, rne xteno ream
plans a 40-game schedule of con
tests against semi-pro nines, most
of them to be played here.
Eugene has been offered two spots in a proposed State
Learue schedule and a berth In the "expensive" Southwest Ore-
srnn Learue but apparently there are no "takers.' ... ine aoutn
west Oregon spot, comparable to the old uascaae league in ine
matter of caliber of play and "salary, was made possiDie wnen
Reedsport dropped out. ...
It doesn't seem likely that sponsors would be willing to finance
one or more clubs of Cascade League calber (costing from $1500 to
$3500 annually for ona club), but
the State League could b oper
ated for considerably les It
would require something like
$2000 each to start operation and
if the players were willing to play
for a "share of the net gate" on
a share basis (jobs would hava
to be provided for college boys),
the operation would cost the
sponsor or sponsors virtually
nothing. . . . There are several
other attractions good attend
ance here, little travel (Mt. Angel
the longest jaunt), and tha home
team taking its own gate receipts
with the traveling team paying its
own expenses. ...
Numerous local semi-pro play
ers have expressed their willing-
sz T,.rin. om van bkockhn
Coqullle and other cities But Mar ' Here Aga,n
there have been no offers to sponsor the local teams. . . . One pro
posal was to have "merchant" and "lumber" teams in the State j
League. Another is to have ona team from Eugene and another from
Springfield both playing home games at Bethel Park. ...
The Southwest Oregon League is awaiting Eugene's answer. The
State League expects the local baseballers to be represented at al
final organization meeting at Albany Monday night, April 21.
An effort will be made to interest baseball men in this area In a
last-ditch try to keep soma type of baseball in Eugene other than
high school, Junior Legion, and bush ball.
fc Somewhat ancient history and timely only In view of the
openlnr of spring football at Oregon are a few statistics from the
late National Football League season, . . . Woodley Lewis, Oregon
Los Angeles who was one of the top Interception leaders in 1950
(12 for a 22.9-yard average), had only 3 for an 11.3-yard average
for the Rams last season. . . . Dan Garza, Oregon-New York (Dallas)
Yankees, was on tha receiving end of 31 passes for a 15.2-yard aver
age and 4 touchdowns. . . .
About the only statistics publicized at tha close of the season was
Norm Van Brocklln's passing record, which was just under Bob
Waterfield's championship mark. . . . Ken Carpenter, OSC-Cleveland

East In the Shrlners first benefit
basketball game for crippled
children's hospitals Saturday
night.
The relay, that bettered tha
meet and Oregon school record,
was one of the most breath-taking
events staged on Hayward Field in
years and years and the cash
customers went home forgetting
Martin's final mile run, Hutchins'
great victory over Ken Morgan of
Washington in the 880, and Dennis
Meyer's record-breaking two-mlla
run.
Field Ryan, Washington sopho
more held the lead In the mile for
three laps, but both Martin and
Fred Turner passed up the Husky
on the final lap and Martin won
going away by 15 yards.
MORGAN HELD the lead In
the first lap of the 880, with Team
mate Vandenhoof second, Hutch
ins third. Like in the relay, Hutch
ins gradually closed the gap and
made his big bid on the last turn
and came into the stretch on even
terms, passing Morgan in the last
60 yards to win by three strides.
Wayne Reiser, running his first
two-mile event, kept on the heels
of Meyer until the final lap In a
race that was a two-man affair
after the first half mile. But the
Eugene freshman faded badly and
was beaten by 75 yards. Meyer's
mark of 9:26.8 beat by 7.2 seconds
a 22-year-old meet record set by
Oregon's Clarence Hill in 1930.
Reiser's time was a creditable
