    THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
It's hard to forget that frosh
rook game. On all sides chatter
about the thrills of Friday night's
battle of yearling gigantics buzzes,
while Saturday’s varsity games are
already relegated to dusty files.
The Duckling-Beaverling strug
gle gave the spectators what they
like—wide open football. And
they went for it and are asking for
more.
A pass for a touchdown from the
three-inch line on second down is
just about the height of the sur
prise element on the gridiron. John
Warren's Ducklings pulled the
prize of the year in that one—and
it worked perfectly.
What about these wild, pass
heaving, fighting, gigantic-pulling
freshmen of Mr. Warren’s? Will
they crash the varsity next year
and start Oregon football on the
Rose Bowl road?
'Everybody seems to think so,
and now that the season’s all over,
even Coach Honest John hints that
he had a pretty fair ball club.
It was the best Duckling team
since 1931, when Stan Kostka, Art
Clarkson, Pepper Pepelnjak, and a
host of other storied young gen
tlemen went to town in grand fash
ion with a double tHmriph over the
rotoks and a few other things.
* * *
This portsided boy from Med
ford, Bob Smith, catches the eye
of everyone from coaches to water
boys. He’s fast, heavy enough, a
good ball carrier—and what a pass
er! When Smith faded back for
one of his left-handed heaves Fri
day night, he was, to all outward
appearances, off for an end run.
And then that rifle arm shot back
and the old prolate spheroid soared
through the air, almost always
timed perfectly for a scampering
receiver to gobble up.
Little Jay Graybeal, who put on
11 pounds between the opening
turnout and the close of the sea
son, is another sure shot. Gray
beal hasn't the weight of an iron
man, but his elusive ball toting
and his passing and pass-snatching
should entrench him in a varsity.
position.
* * *
Paul Rowe was playing; his first
season of American football, but
he developed so fast in one year
that he’s almost certain to help a
lot next fall. The former rugby
player is a driver from way back.
Ron Husk is a good boy at
either quarterback or guard, and
Dennis Donovan is a quarterback
of no mean ability and agility.
Still more backs who may stand
a varsity chance are Steve Ander
son and Floyd Smith, left half
backs; Connie Grabb and R. R.
Smith, right halves and Frank Em
mons, full back. And wait a min
ute. Don’t forget Right Halfback
Bill Rach, who spent the last two
games on wood with injuries but is
a certain varsity prospect*
* * *
Ellroy Jensen, a Eugene boy, is
a tackle coaches consider capable
of varsity stardom. Russ Inskeep
at the other tackle is another pros
pect. And look at the ends. Larry
Lance and Vic Reginato, it may be
safe to suggest, are as good as
this year’s varsity wingmen right
now.
The center of the line was weak
er, and less varsity prospects are

Hayward To Be
Official Starter
Of Annual Race
Guards to Be Posted at
Points Around Route;
McGaughey Is Present
Record Holder
Bill Hayward, Oregon's famous
track coach, will be the official
starter of the annual cross country
race to be held Thursday after
noon.
Other officials are Bill Johnson,
Ed Warren, and N. .Jorgenson. Be
sides these officials, guards will be
posted at different places on the
course to check the runners as they
pass.
Sam McGaughey, running for
Omega hall, holds the record for
the course. His time of 15 minutes
and 15 secohds was set two years
ago. Harold Draper won the race
last year. His time was 16 min
utes, 16 seconds. However, the
course has been lengthened for the
race this year and this will have
some effect on the time of the run
ners.
Starts at 4
All entries are expected to re
port to Hayward field at 3:45 p.m.
Thursday in order to be checked
and have their numbers pinned on.
The race will start promptly at 4
p.m.
The course starts at the south
end of the straightaway, of the
track on Hayward field. The run
ners will follow the track around to
the west gate and turn off the
track there. After leaving the gate,
the course follows the fence south
to 18th street. On 18th street they
will go east to the alley and fol
low it south for a half block. Here
they turn east in the middle of the
block and follow the trail across
Agate and Columbia streets. The
traffic will be blocked on these two
streets in order to prevent any
congestion.
Over the Hill
After leaving- Columbia street
the runners will head over the hill
into Hendricks park. After enter
ing the park, the course goes up
the hill to the elk pens and then
through the timber to the deer
pens. Here the runners take the
road to the crest of the hill. The
course follows along the crest of
the hill to 17th street. On 17th the
runners will go down the steep hill
and straight west to the east; gate
of Hayward field.
Upon entering the east gate the
runners will follow the tra-ck
around to the west side. The finish
line will be near the gate that they
went out at the start.
One-Man Lane
At the finish the runners will be
filed through a roped-off lane wide
enough for only one man. This is
to avoid any trouble at the finish
and will allow the judges to check
each man as he comes across the
finish line.
The guards posted along the
course are to check each man as
he passes his post. If a man isn't
checked at all the guard posts, he
will be disqualified. This is to keep
some from dropping out and then
starting again later on in the
course.

Varsity
Sketches
By MORRIE HENDERSON
l’AT FURY
“As Irish as Paddy’s pig and as
steady as the proverbial rock of
Gibraltar.”
That is a perfect description of
giant Pat Fury, understudy to
Captain Del Bjork on this year’s
grid machine. Pat can always be
depended to turn in a good game
no matter what the conditions are.
He isn’t a flashy player trying to
look good, but he is always in
there at tackle breaking up his
share of plays and making more
than his share of tackles. Fury, an
Idaho boy, came to Oregon follow
ing his brother, who starred as a
center and a guard for four years
finishing up in 1934.
When asked what was the best
team in the coast conference now
that Oregon has met everyone but
Oregon State, Fury answered,
“Well, it is pretty hard to choose
the best team, as teams play bet
ter on some Saturdays than on oth
ers, but I think that the Cougars I
up at Washington State have the
best line and the University of
Washington has the best backfield.
Whether they were on the defense
or offense, Washington State’s line
charged all the time—and they
charged low' and hard. The Tro
jans have a mighty fine line too.
The Husky backfield of Logg. Cain,
Haines, and Nowogroski is just
about the best combination a coach
can get. They are all both fast and
big.
“After watching the Santa Clara
St. Mary's game Sunday,” Fury
went on, “I don't think there is any
doubt that those teams play just a:.;
good ball as the coast conference.
They might not play as tough
schedules as we do but that doesn't
hurt the type of playing. The
Broncos’ offense in the first half
was a W'onder to watch, and then
they sat back in the second half
and guarded their 19-point lead.
Oregon Will Enter
Seven in Hill Race
Final Tryouts for Varsity
Cross Country Squad Are
Slated for Thursday
A seven-man cross country team
to represent the University of Ore
gon in the sixth annual Hill Mili
tary race at Portland on Novem
ber 24 will be selected Thursday
following a final tryout over the
VVebfoot three-mile course.
The varsity tryout will be held
in conjunction with the intramural
meet.
Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon’s
veteran track mentor, isn’t at all
certain of his prospects at present
but plans to definitely select the
team after watching the runners
over his pet layout, which runs
from the campus over the hills
south and north of Eugene.
Leadng runners vying for team
berths include Captain Sam Mc
Saughey, one of the coast’s lead
ing distance runners; Eldon Fix,
Lhick Hardisty, John Davidson, all
vith some varsity track experience,
and Harold Draper, Ken Leather
man, Bill Lauderback, Crawford
Lyle and Stan Car lson, all up from
freshman ranks.

Warren’s Ducklings Reel
Off Sensational Runs
In Taking Last Four
Engagements
The past football season has been
one of many gigantics for Coach

fact, they have had all of the
ihrills furnished by big time var
sity elevens in their clashes.
Sweep Series
Main achievement of Coach War
ren's men was concpiering the Ore
gon State rook team in two
straight this year by scores of 18
to 6 and 25 to 0. It was the first
time that feat had been accom
plished since 1931.
The team turned in its most im
pressive record in several years,
winning four consecutive games af
ter dropping a close one to Oregon
Normal, 7 to 6 in the season’s
opener.
Long Runs
Long runs by speedy frosh backs
were numerous during the season,
several being good for over 70
cards, and one netting 75. George
lessee, Rainier flash, contributed
the season's longest dash, returni
ng a kick-off 95 yards through
the whole rook team, at Corvallis
l month ago.
Jay Graybeal, the little speed
burning left half from Pendleton,
lias a flock of lengthy runs to his
credit. H i s touchdown sprints
range from 35 yards to 80, and he
has figured in several pass plays
that went for scores.
Smith Scores
Bob Smith, rangy right half,
tugged an intercepted pass 65
yards to a touchdown in the 26 to
8 trimming handed Southern Ore
gon Normal early in the season.
Surprise play of the season came
in last Saturday’s 25-to-0 win over
the Beaver Babes. It came with
the frosh in possession of the ball
less than a yard from scoring ter
ritory, and three tries left to push
it over. The play not only fooled
most of Oregon Dads’ day custom
ers, but caught the Orange rooks
completely flat-footed.
Using utterly unorthodox foot
ball, the Ducklings called forth a

Saturday.
Colonel Bill Hayward said last
night that Bentley’s knee injury
would keep him on the bench at
Corvallis. The former Glendale
junior college player suffered his
knee mishap in the California game
and until yesterday hope had been
held that he might play Saturday.
Skinner in Shape
Ken Skinner, who reinjured an
old shoulder ailment in the Bear
struggle, will be in shape for the
Beavers, Hayward said.
With Bentley out, fullback duties
will be in the hands of Jean Bap
tiste Lacau, 205-pound sophomore.
Prink Callison sent the Webfoot3
through a vigorous workout last
night. Little scrimmage is on this
week's practice slate, but plenty of
hard drill on pass offense and de
fense is on the menu.
Kennedy Sure
The Duck coach hasn't deter
mined his starting lineup as yet.
Certain to open in the backfield
is Quarterback Don Kennedy. Bob
Braddock is almost a cinch at right
half, although Dale Lasselle or
Dave Gammon may break in. La
cau has the probable nod at full
back.
Jimmy Nicholson, who gained
most of Oregon's yardage at
Berkeley, is in line for the opening
assignment at the important ball
packing spot, left half. »
The Webfoots are underdogs for
the annual state classic, and the
players are planning an upset. Oh
Oregon’s conference record are five
defeats, one lonely tie, and nary a
victory. Saturday will be the first
and last chance for a win for the
desperate Ducks.
