Main St., 2nd Floor PHONE: 3-5301 Ducks Have 6 Games in California Daris. Calif (U.R) The University of Oregon opened its 1957 baseball season yes terday with a 3-1 win over the Cal Aggies but it may prove a costly one. University of Oregon, Eugene Oregon's baseball club is open ing its 1957 season this week with a six-game sweep through northern California. Coach Don Kirsch's Webfoots, hampered by a long stretch of bad weather in early workouts, were expected to find tough go ing against the California nines. The Ducks were idle last week because of winter term final ex ams. Their pre-conference sweep against the Cal Agiges, Univer sity of California, San Jose State and Stanford university is being done during spring vacation. The rugged competition should be helpful to the Ducks in getting set for the Northern division race as Coach Kirsch experiments with a number of combinations in an attempt to rebuild his infield. The loss of John Keller at shortstop and Dick Schlosstein at first base hai punched a big hole in the Ore gon inner defense and any Web foot pennant hopes are based on the success of a rapid rebuilding job. Ron Dodge, a talented catcher, is being given a shot at the first base job with Jim Rice, a sopho more. The exceptional strength behind the plate with veteran Tom Bowen and rookies Ellis Olsen and Len Read, in addition to Dodge, has given the Duck skipper a chance to shift his forces. A basketball letterman, Wimp Hastings, appears to have the edge at second base and the tal ented sophomore at that spot last spring, Jim Pifher, has been moved to shortstop. Ken Bond, a regular last year, is again at third base, but faces stiff com petition. Maddox Back Iff the outfield the Ducks are apparently in good shape with all-league Terry Maddox back in left field and Jim Pingree re turning in right field. Larry Hughes, a hard hitting sopho more, may have the inside track in center as the replacement for Jerry Ross, but must beat out lettermen George Simpson and Jerry Urness. Oregon's pitching staff will also be made up of veterans, al though they have suffered in the early workouts from the lack of good outside practice conditions. Don Lane, all-conference last year as a sophomore, and Ron Lehl will be the left handers on the staff and veterans Stan Dmo- chowsky, Ron Whittaker, Denny Olsen, and Don Delbon plus sophomore Jon Englund and Rollie Heath will all make the trip to battle it out for the top five or six positions. In addition to the above play ers, the travel squad includes Tim Berg and Roy Nishioka as spare infielders and Leroy Phelps as an extra outfielder The squad will return here next week end for the remaining games on the pre-conference schedule then will go after its fourth pennant in the last five years when the Northern divi sion season opens in mid-April with a home and home series with Oregon State. HOCKEY Montreal U.R) Right Wing Gordie Howe, equally at home scoring or setting up his Detroit teammates, headed for his fifth National Hockey league scoring title today with only three games left to play. In games played through Sun day, statistics showed Howe with 84 points on 42 goals and 42 as sists. This gave him a two-point lead over linemate Ted Lindsay a'nd a three-point bulge over center Jean Beliveau of the Montreal Canadiens, last year's top scorer. New York U.R) Fred Glov er of the Cleveland Barons to day held a five-point lead in the race for the American Hockey league scoring title. Glover, held to a single point for the second straight week, had a total of 93 points and, with only three games remaining, seems a safe bet to win his first AHL scoring title. Willie Mar shall of Hershey remained the only serious threat to Glover with 88 points. ' k from HFC? Over two million Americans like" you borrow from HFC' each year.

Hollywood Has Veterans, Strong Pitching for 1957 (Following is the first in a series of stones on Pacific Coast league teams in spring training.) By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer Anaheim, Calif. U.R) A strong pitching staff on a team well seasoned with veterans leads rookie Manager Clyde King to predict that the Holly wood Stars should "at least" do as well as they did last season when the T w i n k s finished fourth. Still becoming acquainted with his players, King was cau tious in discussing individuals but as a former ace relief hurler for the Brooklyn Dodgers he said he likes what he has seen of his pitchers headed by the veteran Ben Wade, who was King's teammate at Brooklyn. "If our pitchers come up to their performances of last sea son, that should be our strong est department," King said as he gazed on his team at La Palma Park here. Hurlers Show Promise "Three of our pitchers who are working with Pittsburgh but belong to us should be right in there with Wade. Bennie Dan- Buddy Shoot Ends in Tie Trapshooters of Medford Gun club will begin action next Sun day in the Oregon Journal Tele graphic shoot. They will shoot against Jeffer son - Pine Grove, McMinnville Elks, Klamath Falls and Wasco. Everett Gibson and Larry Horn tied Ray Coleman and Hugh McGinty last Sunday with 92 out of 100 scores in the buddy shoot at the local club. The money was split four ways. McGinty defeated Harry Tonn 23 to 22 in the shoot-off in the Ed Pease handicap. Each busted 48 of 50 birds in the regular event. In the Spokesman-Review Tel egraphic Skeet shoot Martin Clogston broke 25, Pert Peck 24 and Floyd Young 23. There were 20 shooters Sun day. They broke 2175 targets. MINNESOTA NAMES Lexington, Ky. U.R) The University of Minnesota has been named to compete in the fifth annual University of Ken- t u c k y Invitational basketball tournament here on Dec. 20-21. Minnesota joins North Carolina and host Kentucky in the field with one more team to be named. Black marble is mined northeastern Arkansas. in There is no finer whiskey in the world i than American whiskey. . . I J 1857 &Si19S7 J I , ? 100 YEARS OP LEADERSHIP ,. " w-, N. I ' I it f 021 Seagrams yss rim t ,J, iels and Don Kildoo both had big seasons with Lincoln and New Orleans while Fred Waters showed 'great promise; so much so that Pittsburgh is giving him a good looking over. But Curtis Raydon, who split the season between Hollywood and New Orealns, is counted on for a starter's berth and King really becomes enthusiastic over his relief men, veteran George O'Donnell and Leslie Phillips, up from New Orleans where he compiled an 11-4 record without starting a single game and had an earned run average of 3.13 to lead the league there. The big stick was expected to be wielded by first baseman R. C. Stevens who last year hit 27 homers despite missing 43 games because of a broken hand and suffered from a lack of hitting behind him. With Stevens anchoring the infield, the Stars will have the flashy Dick Smith back at short stop and Jim Baumer at second with Leonardo Rodriquez ex pected to be at third although King says he can use more depth in the infield. Expects Some Help The temperamental Carlos Bcrnier, although he failed to report at the opening of spring practice, was expected to be back with his base-stealing tac tics. Bernier hit .283 last year and his flashing fielding was a strong factor in Hollywood's fin ish. Joe Duhem also is back as are Felipe Montemayor and Paul Pettit, the former pitching "bon us baby" of the Pittsburgh club who alternates at first, where little Anthony Bartirome also is available. "Bobby Bragan has assured us of help and with the majors hav ing to set up their rosters by opening day, we should get the help early. I know which men I'd like on the Pirate roster but I can't name them. But just a few key men, chiefly outfielders and an infielder, should do it," King said. He's well satisfied with his catchers which include the vet eran Bill Hall, Nick Koback and Pete Naton. Portland Slates Carmen Basilio Portland (U.R) Carmen Ba silio, world welterweight cham pion, will fight a 10-rounder here in mid-April, Promoter Tommy Moyer said Monday. Moyer said that Basilio's man agers wanted him to box a mid dleweight. No opponent has yet been selected, he said.

Sandy Saddler gave up the 126-pound title recently when he retired because of an eye injury. Although Berrios is rated No. 3 among contenders, one notch above Costa, betting was at "even money" for their national ly televised and broadcast fight over NBC. The winner is slated to meet Hogan (Kid) Bassey of Nigeria, No. 2; with the finalist fighting Cherif Hamia of France, No. 1, for the title.
