Thurston Frightens Marshfield
By LLOYD E. MILLEGAN
Register-Guard Correspondent
The winless Thurston Colti
came within a whistle and two
yards of beating the once-powerful
Marshfield Pirates Saturday
afternoon at Silke field.

ic Had the San Francisco Giants won the World
Series (and the National League club came within one
base hit of doing just that) Chuck Hiller most certainly
would have been a worthy candidate for the honor of being
selected as the "World Series Hero."
In the second series game, watching from the make
shift press box directly behind home plate at Candlestick
Park we saw Hiller score
what proved to be the win
ning run and make two sen
sational fielding plays. In
the fourth game, in New
York, he hit a grand-slam
home run to win that game
.... Ho was the series
leader with three doubles,
tied with Roger Maris with
five runs batted in, tied
with seven others with one
home run, topped the Gi
ants with four runs scored,
his seven . hits tied three
other Giants to lead in that
department, and he figured
in seven double plays while
handling 39 chances with
only one error for a .974
fielding percentage. His
.269 batting average was
very creditable, just under,
his season's average of .276.
The other three Em
eralds of 1959 contributed ,
little or nothing to the Ser
ies success of the Giants '
.... Bob Bolin pitched 2 innings in two games, striking out
two and walking none, but was found for two earned runs
.... Johnny Orsino caught in the ninth inning of the first
game, without distinction .... And Carl Boles, who was used
mostly as a pinch hitter and pinch runner late in the pennant -drive,
saw no Series action ....
But it certainly was a long baseball season the final
game coming after the start of basketball season ....
While local fans will continue to watch any success for
mer Emeralds have in the majors they'll also be watching
the progress of the Chicago White Sox who now have a full
working agreement with the Emeralds. Five White Sox play
ers were on tho Tri-City roster last season and one, first base
man Gary Johnson, was the league batting champion with a
.341 average. Outfielder Brian McCall hit a solid .303 with 11
home runs and late in the season hit a couple for the White
Sox .... Ed Nottle was one of the best relief pitchers in the
class "B" circuit with a 2.25 earncd-run average and a 10-6
win-loss record .... There were two others, Lee Feather
stone with ft 12-12 and 4.38 record, and Bob House 4-4 and
4.50. i '
-A- Three Emerald pitchers were ranked among the
top ten for the season, Ed Feldman 9-11 and 3.68, Malt
Gayeskl 14-9 and 3.88, and Dick Eslclle 14-14 .... Gayeski
had nine-inning 1-0 no-bit, no-run game against Wcnatchce
and Estcllc a seven-Inning 6 0 no hitler against Salem for the
only no-hittcr of the season .... Gayeski and Bruce Bru
bukcr of Yakima tied for strikeout honors with 209 . . . Matt
started the most games 30.
The official statistics for the season, announced by Bill
Weiss, show some other figures of note for Eugene players,
some of dubious honor like Jose Calcro hitting into the most
doublo plays and with the most errors for a first baseman
and catcher Dick Dietz the most passed balls (37 to tie the
league record) .... Wally Cockrcll had the most bases on
balls (101), but also the most errors (or an outfielder ....
Carlos Dore had the most putouts for an outfielder and
Diets the most assists for a catcher .... Calcro was ninth
and Dore tenth leading league batters with .293 and .290
averages, respectively ....
Mickey Sinnerud, the ex-Orcgon Duckling and Beaverton
High star, was the leading defensive shortstop and hit .286
'or the Yakima Bears ....
Belko Eager for Cage
Silly as it may seem, Oregon
basketball coach Steve Belko is
looking forward to the coming
basketball season which begins
in less than six weeks.
Ordinarily, when a roach has
lost the top three scorers from
a team that scored only enough
to win nine times in 26 tries,
you'd expect him to be anything
but optimistic.
This would seem particularly
true when the previous year's
freshman squad was mediocre,
which was also the case.
But, after getting a first look
at a 19 man team which began
practice Monday, Belko found
the situation isn't really as bad
as some people might think.
"We may not, on paper, scare
loo many people," lie smiles,
"hut we'll have something to do
with who does win this thing."
As last year, Oregon will be

"I like our forward situation
this year," Belko says. He lost
most of last year's scoring punch
at that position but will make
up for it with the addition of
much-needed speed.
"I like a fast ball club,"
Steve says. "We can be more
aggressive on defense. General
ly speaking, I think we'll be

The Ems had some lowly team records, hitting into the

lowest team fielding percentage and ranking fourth in hitting
.... Despite a late-season drive that gave the Ems a second
half second-place tie with Salem, the Ems still were last in
the aggregate win-loss records and three full games behind
fifth-place Lcwiston.
It is hoped the White Sox will change all that .... and
now it is Lefty Dennis' tough job to convince local baseball
fans things will be better in 1963 .... Dennis, with 14 years
in the U. S. Marines and manager of a number of Marine
teams during his tour of duty, is now general manager of the

Most of the passengers didn't know it, but the pilot of

party into Houston Thursday of last week is a rather famous

at the San Francisco headquarters .... Boling, who takes a
charter trip once in a while to get necessary flying time to

We had forgotten a presentation made at the Mahlon
Sweet Airport prior to the departure of the Oregon team to
Austin, Tex., for the opening game of the season .... The
trophy was presented by Leo "Cap" Harris to Nate Ruben-'
stein for having caught the 200th salmon taken from Leo's
boat this summer .... Harris presented another trophy at
Houston, Tex., last Saturday night during halftime of the
Oregon-Rice football game to Fred Hansen of Rice who was
the co-champion in the National Collegiate Athletic Assn.
(NCAA) pole vault .... The meet was staged here last
June ....
One of the interested members of the Oregon party to
Houston was J. B. Castles, vice president of Citizens' Bank
and a native Texan .... and Clarence Vos, hard-working -Oregon
Club member, enjoyed a long-awaited visit with his
sister, two nephews and a niece, who live in Houston . . . .
Did you know that Rice University owns Yankee Stadium,
given to the school through the generosity of a loyal alumnus
(who must be Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees.)
While in Houston we noted that the newspapers there,
who carry no league bowling score news, continue to call
bowling establishments alleys instead of lanes .... The story
was about the theft of $900 from the Champion Bowling
Alley .... And a 17-ycar-old South Houston High School
junior received $3,000 for his champion steer at a livestock
and rodeo show, but not close to the record $5,360 paid in
1959 and the price of steak wasn't too steep in Houston,

We noticed two familiar names in a professional wrest
ling story Tony Borne and Jerry Kozak, Nick's younger
brother.
Bill Bowerman was reluctant to accept an Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU) invitation to accompany his world record four
mile relay team to New Zealand this winter under present
circumstances. Bowerman, as an advocate of the NCAA
spawned track federation, did not feel he should accept such
an invitation. Arthur S. Flemming, University of Oregon
president, has recommended to the AAU that athletic director
Leo Harris accompany the Webfoots.
The AAU has approved a fifth man for the squad, and
Bowerman is planning three one-mile competition runs to
select the five-man squad. At the present time there are seven
runners in contention.

"Larry Cooley could he a
good sophomore forward for us,
too," Belko adds.
Bringing up the subject of
Glenn Moore, a hroad grin
comes to Belko's face. "Yes,
we've got a center now. We'll
need a replacement for him,
though, for insurance.
If anything should happen to
Moore should he run into

would probably do an abrupt
about-face.

ELMIRA Both coaches were
in agreement Saturday after
Pleasant Hill had seared the
daylights out of Emerald
League-leader Elmira before
losing 27-24.
"We weren't prepared on de
fense for their offense," said
winning coach Don Schwartz of
Elmira.
"Tho plpmpnf nf enrnricp
kinda caught 'cm flat-footed,"
mused Pleasant Hill's Paul
Jackson.
What were they in agreement
aTout?
Pleasant Hill came up with
just about the weirdest offen
sive formation to come along in
several seasons and shocked the
Falcons for a 12-0 first quarter
lead. Known as the "Garbage
left (or right)" among the
Pleasant Hill coaching staff,
the line-up looks something like
this:
Six linemen and three backs
line up in a normal formation;
eighteen or twenty yards away
down the line of scrimmage we
find the ball and the remaining
two Billie players. Their names
are Hal Ott who centers the ball
to quarterback Mike Hill. Since
Ott is also in an end position,
he is eligible to catch passes.
And catch passes he did eight
of them for 100 yards and a pair
of touchdowns, to be exact.
Hill also completed six passes
to Bruce Bradshaw for 138 yards
and another pair of scores. All
in all, Hill completed 18 of 33
aerial' attempts for 261 yards
and all four Pleasant Hill
touchdowns.
Nevertheless, Elmira won the
game. After Ott and Bradshaw
had scored on passes of nine
and seven yards, the Falcons
got down to business.
Cliff Brock and Bob Stack-
house combined for a 29 yard
pass-run play to make it 12-6 in
