The Black Tornado engages South Eugene tonight and Saturday night at Eugene. It will be a series matching oft time pre-season rivals.

Others on the traveling squad are Darryl Stockton, Dennis Salyers, Mike Barnes, Dick Deffley, Bill Houston, Larry Vowell, Howard Reid, Clint Partsafas and Jack Lowery. Roelandt commented that Tornado practices have gone better this week than they did last week. There's been a lot of hard work, he reported. Quite a bit of defense has been included in the d r i 1 1 s. Some new wrinkles have been added to the offense. There has been some con centration on ball handling and the club has drilled against pressing defense. Con ditioning has continued to get attention. Daffley, Barnes Spark The coach reported that Deffley has shown good in practices and said that Barnes is starting to show offensive spark. Roelandt brought out that the loss of Rich Benner, who fractured his wrist last week end, has been felt. "It really hurt when we lost Benner," the mentor stated.

More over, Terry Baker will be back at guard to quarterback the Beavers after quarter backing the Oregon State football team to a 9-2 record 2nd Base Honor Goes To Boiling Cincinnati -UPU- Quick now, who was the best fielding sec ond baseman in the National league this year? If you answered Ken Hubbs of the Chicago Cubs, you're wrong. According to the offi cial National league fielding averages, this is. The top defensive second baseman in the circuit was Frank Boiling of the Milwau kee Braves with a .989 per centage. Hubbs, who set two major league fielding records by handling 418 consecutive chances and going through 78 straight games without an er ror, wound up third among the second basemen with a .983 figure. Bill Mazeroski of Pittsburgh was second with .985. Boiling was one of three Milwaukee players who led the league in fielding at his individual position.

Jose Pagan of San Francis co paced the shortstops with a .973 average, while Don Hoak, whom Pittsburgh re cently traded to Philadelphia, led the third basemen with .969. The finest fielding outfield er in the league on the basis of percentage was Tony Gon zales of the Phillies, who han dled 276 chances without mak ing an error for a 1.000 figure.

Oregon Stale coach Slats Gill put his team through a 30-minute scrimmage Thurs day and a team of substi tutes beat the regulars 29-28. However, Gill said he was more concerned about the floor play than the score. One of the most interesting questions in advance of the tournament is how well Baker will do in his first appearance. He has had only six days to practice but Gill said he will be in the starting lineup to night, along with Mel Counts, Jim Jarvis, Frank Peters and Steve Pauly. The coast's other power house teams also have unusu ally stern tests this weekend. Cards Host Pair Unbeaten Stanford hosts Texas and Wyoming.
