Coach Steve Belko's Ore gon team, lacking height and reserve strength, has only a 1-5 PCC record after a fairly good pre-season mark. That the Ducks will be "up" is an understatement, but they have no one to cope with 6-8 Gary Goble and 6-9 Karl Anderson under the backboards.

The 24-year-old outfielder took another look at the sal ary figure the club offered Wow!' It seemed almost too good to be true. Landis quickly got hold of a pen and signed the contract which called for an estimated $5,000 raise. Then he wrote a letter to Vice President Charles Comiskey. Whit Sox Proud In the letter, he said the raise was so "substantial" that he simply couldn't express his Brother, they just don't write letters like that any more. And the White Sox were proud of this one that they told the press about it.
