    Ducklings Journey To Corvallis For Year’s Second Grid Meeting
Duck
Tracks
By CLAIR JOHNSON
Emerald Sports Editor
i
Iguesso Picks, Greg
Quirps, You Find Out
Why Huskies Are Hot
T»IDING on the crest of a huge
wave of success because he
astounded everyone by picking ev
ery game except one last week,
Iguesso dropped an airmail note
last night after a flight to Corval
lis. The prophetic words contained
therein revealed, that the noble
quicker is again favoring the
Rodfcs to upset the Ducklings in
tonight’s clash, despite the bump
ing he took last week by predict
ing the same thing..
If the rains of the last few days
keep up, “Turf-field” Gregory will
no doubt have, quite a few nice lit
tle quirps to make as he sits in
* the pressbox Saturday watching
the Ducks and Grizzlies slide
around.
Imagine for a few minutes that
you are a reserve on Jimmy Phe
lan's University of Washington
grid team. You, with the rest of
the boys who never have much of
a chance (to star), are doing a
fine job of bench-warming as the
Huskies ride to vctory over some
opponent. But instead of leaping
to your feet with exclamations as
Haines, Bufkin, or some other
shifty back goes swinging goal
wards, you, like the others', are
watching something different.
* * *
“Watch the man you play
against,” is the axiom Phelan has
drilled into you all in practice. And
he has drilled it in an insisted on
its observance and not just sug
gested it like most coaches have.
So you watch to see your oppon
ent’s weaknesses. Does the defen
sive tackle float or crash in? Do
the guards slide into the strong
side or do they play in the hole?
Are the backs playing man to man
or zone defense on passes ? These
are the questions that float
through the minds of your fellow
players. Then when you enter the
game you put your observations
into practice.
So strongly has Smiling Jimmy
driven this observation practice
into the minds of you players this
year that it in no small measure
accounts for the success your
Husky team has had in keeping
her victory slate clean.
Finally, when you come away
from your excursion into Seattle
territory, you come with the con
clusion that hereafter as a fan
^ you will look for some of these
things so that you will better un
derstand why some days a fast
back is. a likely looking star, and
other days just a slow mug who
gets tackled before he hits the
scrimmage line.
From now on you are going to
watch the blocking, observe the
linemen in their maneuvering
around, look over the defensive
team as a whole and see where it
is weak, and then you will know
who really deserves the credit for
the sparkling runs and all-Ameri
can plays some one player appears
to make.

Oregon's Spirit of ’38 grid team
will meet the O.S.C. Rooks for the
second half of the “little civil war”
at 7:30 p. m., will be played
at Corvallis tonight. The return
match, which is scheduled to start
under the arc lights of Bell Field
Last Friday the Yearlings upset
the old dope bucket by outpointing
their rivals 10 to 7 on the home
field. In no uncertain manner the
Orange Babes are determined to
avenge this splotch on an other
wise victorious season.
Twelfth Meeting
This will be the twelfth meeting
of the two cub teams. The Duck
lings have the arithmetical advant
age in that they have been the vic
tors 7 times in these battles. It is
.significant however, that the
Rooks have always been more pot
ent in the second game of the year.
Last year the Frosh won the first
game 7 to 3 and were defeated
in the return match 6 to 0. Men
tor Irv Schultz wants to avoid
such a reversal this year.
The Greenies polished off their
signal practice in a bitterly cold
wind last night, but that same
wind gave hope that tonight’s bat
tle might be on a dry field. Since
this is the first night game for
the freshmen, they have been
drilled this week under the Hay
ward field flood lights and have
been running through scrimmage
1 with a white ball.
Engel Injured
Only one change is expected
from last Friday's line-up. Melvin
Engel, left end, received a leg in
jury in scrimmage which has kept
him out of active practice for the
last three days. He will be replaced
by Johnson, a wing man who
showed very well as a substitute
in the initial Frosh-Rook skirmish.
There is also a possibility that
Herb Olson will replace Vernon
Moore at center. Olson is Sca
poose’s second gift to the Univer
sity of Oregon. The big Swede cen
ter has been improving daily under
the watchful eye of Shultz and
Dutch Clark until now it looks as
if he might oust the aggressive
L. A. high star frim his mid-line
post.
Lasselle Starts
Dale Lasselle, diminutive fresh
man streak, will start the game at
left half. Lasselle has been the
yearlings' most consistent ground
gainer. Big Les Lewis, full back,
will be on the field at the opening
kick-off. His educated toe should
show to advantage in the try for
point or in the attempt for field
goal. Two Astoria men complete
the roster of starting backfield
men. Lee Canessa, quarter, and
Willy Williamson, right half, are
blockers who got their big chance

in the first Hook game.
Mainstays of the Lemon-Yellow
line are Tony Amato and Leif Jac
obsen. Amato two stone right
guard, was last year’s captain at
Washington high. Eric Waldorf,
Jefferson high coach, called Jaco
bsen ‘the best tackle Jeff ever
had.” Leif has been shifted to end
on the Duckling eleven. He will
probably captain the Spirit of ’38
today. Ken Skinner and Chick
Bracher, aggressive tackles, and
Ray Nelson, guard, complete the
frosh forward wall.
Elmer to Star
‘‘Where’s Elmer?” was the shrill
query of Oregon fans last week.
Today Rook full back, Elmer Kol
berg, will punt, run, and pass be
fore his home stands on Bell field.
Halfbacks Jackson and Gray, who
tolled off so much yardage against
the frosh before, will again make
their off tackle dashes in today’s
battle.
Frank Ramsey, behometh center
will be in the Rook line, too, and
he can be expected to batter away
at the opposing linemen in his ac
customed style. Hal Moe, Rook
mentor, has made two major
changes in his first string line. The
work of Dayton Jones and Bob
McCaulay has been so good in this
week’s scrimmange that the two
husky Beaverinos have won the
wing positions for the opening
kick-off.
FOOTBALL GAME POSTPONED

Webfoot Squad
Is Ready to Meet
Montana Grizzly
Ducks Ease Up Practice;
Heavy Oregon Team
Is Favorite
Taking things easy In prepara
tion for tomorrow's clash with the
cellar-position Montana Grizzlies,
Prink Callison abandoned his us
ually hard workouts last night in
favor of a light signal drill.
He took the squad down under
the lights, however, for a while
and had the reserves run through
a few of Bunny Oakes’ pet forma
tions so the Webfoots will be all
set to smear the visiting backs
Saturday.
Although minus the services of
Bob Stansberry, sensational grid
man on the 1933 team, the under
dog team has some backfield men
slated to go places against the
Duck linemen. They include, Hile
man, Vesel, and Story with the
latter an experienced bail toter
expected to go places.
According to reports from the
Grizzly camp the visitors will be
outweighed over 10 pounds to the
man.

pel terrible night-shirt, being old,
and full of moth-holes, and barely
knee-length to boot. It is decor
ated with pink and baby-blue
stripes, running vertically, and is
constructed of flannel.
This garment they force over
Tongue’s writhing frame. Then
they attempt to put him in a large
laundry basket. Tongue wrecks
the basket. The brothers then go
into the back yard and return with
a plank of suitable length. Tongue
is lashed securely to the plank and,
amid derisive cries, is borne in tri
umph down to the Gamma Phi den.
The brothers deposit him on the
porch and ring the bell, scurring
off into the bushes.
There is a brief pause, then sev
eral babes give a gander out of
the front door. They view Tongue.
They give a squawk. Finally they
tow the body inside. There is a
note on his chest addressed to
“Miriam.” The sisters are much
amused by the note, but after
some time Tommy is able to per
suade them to untie his bonds.
He is a delicate shell-pink all
over by the time this operation is
concluded, for the night-shirt is
very short.
At last he is free, but there is
still the delicate problem of how
to get home. He refuses profanely
to walk through the streets of Eu
gene clad only in a short night
shirt. And how about his bare
feet? The sisters rally ’round and
drag out all the bedroom slippers
in the joint. By a miracle a pair
is found that fit. Another sister
donates a raincoat, and with a very
short farewell, Tongue slinks out
into the night. A hundred candle
power blush lights his way as he
plods, a ruined and embittered
man, back to the elegant garments
that so short a time ago sheltered
him from the amused gaze of an
unkindly world.

Teachers, Lights, Names
Loved By Duck Squad
By NED K1MPSON
Well, folks, since we left you
last Tuesday with a State Teach
ers convention on your hands,
there have been many complaints
from some of the members of the
traveling squad that their names
were not even mentioned in this
column. Foremost of these ob
jectors—whether conscientious or
conscience - stricken we aren’t
quite sure—was Manager Paul
Golden. Paul wanted it known
that he and Joe Renner, prexy
player-manager, didn’t have any
thing to do with any teachers. Well,
maybe we’re wrong, but that guy
who was yelling out the window
of a room on the fourth floor cer
tainly did look like Paul!
Extra! Extra! Lopez, the great
Spanish tenor, finally sings "Lost
Chord”! Last night when all the
boys were gathered around the
training table inhaling steak and
potatoes, R»v Lopez finally yielded
to the pleas of his fellow team
mates and rendered his favorite
composition next time you see
Ray, girls, ask him to sing it for
you!
* * *
The best joke of the week was
played on Coach Prink Calhson
Wednesday night. The scene is
Hayward field-r-time, about six
o’clock. The action finds a mix
ture of the varsity and second
string battling a tough bunch of
frosh gridmen in a final scrim
mage before the Montana tilt. For
atmosphere the wind is blowing so
loud that the quarterback’s sig
nals can’t even be heard.
Suddenly the lights go out, leav
ing the field in pitch darkness, and
the scrimmage hardly under way—
that is, Prink didn't think so. Well,
Prink finally decided that the
lights weren’t going to come on
again, so he ordered the varsity
squad to take a couple of sprints
up and down the field and then
sent them to the showers. The
joke lies in the fact that the lights
came on again before the squad
left the field but that some
thoughtful person had pulled the
switch leaving the field in dark
ness just the same. It is rumored
that there is a $10 reward for the
person who pulled the switches,
offered by members of both squads.
* * #
Some of the more potent nick
names of members of the squad—
I “Popcye” Frye, “Snaokey Joe Jav
elin Arm Bulldog” Parke, “Jug
ears” .MeC’redie, “Tcaehie” Morse,
“Bart” or "Ixiwpass” or “Daniel
Bonne” —also called “Ten
or” — “Kainbow Slim” Ilallen,
“Shovelnose” .darter-—can’t use
’em all or we> wouldn’t have any
thing to write nextt time.

One of the strongest aggrega

on the maple court yesterday af
ternoon in the name of the inde
pendent Yeomen to outshine the
Sigma Nu quintet ii\ every branch
of play, while wrapping a 22 to 6
victory up for delivery.
Bucknani Leader
Earl Bucknam threw out his
beanpol-ish arms to catch nearly
every Sigma Nu pass, and drib
bled down the floor in and out of
traps set. for him. Rarely bother
ing to touch the rim with the ball,
he whipped the sphere through the
hemp for a total of 10 tallies. Char
ley Grimes also covered the defen^
sive territory with tent-like effect
and followed in scoring. Not one
foul was charged to the victors.
Willy Fornes, Jack Enders, and
Kay Hockett each contributed to
the vanquished sum with a goal
each.
Easy Competition
The Omega haliers proved little
competition for the Theta Chi five,
who easily rolled up a 17 to 6 win.
Paul Kaseberg and Hank Roberts
led the attack that had the Ome
ga men on their heels from the
first toot of Eddie Vail’s whistle.
The antics of Whitey Roberts
and Shorty Smith, an Omega
guard of the half-pint variety, pro
vided laugh for the fans in one of
the roughest tilts on tab.
Not enough of the Abba Dabbas
showed up, so the Phi Sigs took
the last scheduled melee by for
feit.
