DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS ‘While fans are turning briefly away from the nation’s grid front to that super-titanic melee of base-1 hits between the, Yanks and the , Giants, we might take one parting , glance at what Oregon’s 1937 nor thern division baseball champs did on the sandlots this summer. At least half a dozen of Hobby’s gonfalon winners went right into ball here in the valley, and they ail made a representative showing. Four of them at different times during the summer were in the top five of state league hitting, crash ing the. charmed .400 group. ... Gale Smith, Duck first sacker, and Jack Gordon, shortstop, went even further by rating rist team choices on the all-state league base ball team which was selected by a popular vote of the teams. One other — Gone Spiker — who enters Oregon as a freshman, qualified as utility outfielder. * * # Smith, and Ford Mullen, smooth working third baseman, moved ov er to Toledo where they toiled in the mill and played on the Toledo Lions clubs which tied Bend for both the first and second half titles, losing out in a final play off. Both hit up in the .400 list lor early season, although drop ping somewhat near the end. Jack Gordon flashed the brand of ball that put “Brother Joe" on his way up, slugging over .500 for a brilliant season at shortstop for Reedsport. Jack led batters in quest of the Harold Cline hitting trophy for most of the season, and finished in the top four. Second sacker Jack Coleman, sophomore infielder of last spring, saw duty with Woodburn. Coleman socked the agate for a mere .480 in his first six games. The aforementioned Gene Spiker prepped at Grant high in Portland, and with Toledo was one of the Lion's toughest hitters besides be ing a handyman. Spiker made the all-league as a utility because he pitched, played first, worked in the outfield, and yes- even worked be hind the bat. Spiker cast his lot at Oregon, and should be a tremen dous help to John Warren's Duck lings next spring. Wimpy Quinn, shortstop from last year’s frosh, played with Reedsport in the state league, Re liable Shoe in the stale semi-pro tournament, and even played up in nncouver in the city league. Most of the previously mentioned Ducks saw action in the semi-pro tourna ment at Stlverton.

Get the habit Oregon and Gonzaga Sharpen Wits for Battle PrinkSends Boys Through Signal Drills Ronnie Husk Reports For Initial Practice Following Injury; Lasselle Also Out .. Ey BILL NORENE Prink Callison drove his charg es through another light workout yesterday afternoon in preparation for Saturday’s coming game with Mike Pecarovich's Gonzaga Bull dogs at Spokane. Callison spent most of the af ternoon sending a revised com bination through signals against blocking dummies in an attempt to get assignments down “cold." Dale Lasselle, best ground gain er in the Stanford game, and re leased from the infirmary late Tuesday, took part in the work out for a short period, until he was relieved by Bob Smith, ace passer of the squad. Kowc at Fullback Paul Rowe held down the full back post for most of practice session, but was relieved by Frank Emmons for a short time. Jim my Nicholson, Salem speedburner, and Hank "Old Reliable” Nilsen occupied the other two backfield spots. In the makeshift line, Coach Cal lison had Rod Speetzen and Vic Reginato at ends, Ellroy Jensen and Bill Foskett at tackles, Cece Walden and Nello Giovanini at guards, and Denny Breaid at cen ter. Ronnie Husk, diminutive guard, reported for practice for the first time after being injured in prac tice during Monday’s scrimmage. He and Tony Amato, still off the active list, both contented them selves with running laps around the practice field to get back in condition following layoffs. (Jraybenl, Bentley Best, •Tay Graybeal is still taking things easy after his shin injury received in the Stanford game. Arleigh Bentley reported for practice for the first time this week. The vacation was received when he contracted a cold during the weekend. Callison will send his squad through their final home workout this afternoon, with the team j scheduled to leave for Spokane I Friday. I west to play locally were Earl Colliding, Oregon State outfielder, j who signed for outfield work with Washington State’s Ed Goddard, I who signed f rooutfield work with Heedsport. Mel Marlowe, piteher, and Ernie Bishop, second baseman, a pair of stars from Washington State, signed for coast league ball with the Seattle Indians and the San Francisco Missions. Gene Shields, veteran line conch par excellence for Oregon, took a wee hit of a tumble yesterday play ing handball with one of his I'E boys, and bruised himself consid erable. Said Gene when he recov ered his poise, “Your grade goes down from an A to a It.” Stanford’s ace quarterback, Bill Paulman, who went out of Satur day's game with a first quarter in jury, is now possibly out of the UCLA game.

By GKOlUU'l 1WSKKO il()K HUSTON Football's ever-changing' tides of fortune haven't always been as kind to Joe Huston as they were | Saturday afternoon when he played ■ what many considered the out standing game of his career ; against Stanford, and then trotted to the bench in the last few min utes amid tremendous applause. Saturday was Joe's day. In those ! two and one-half bruising hours. 1 the slim white hands of greatness lifted Joe Huston to the peak of .football glory. Appointed acting captain for the game by Coach Prince Gary Callison (Captain Amato being in jured), Huston accepted the full responsibility. His star shone on every play, and he left the field with the game won to the acclaim of nearly 10,000 people who stood up and shouted a mighty tribute that echoed and rolled out through the open end of Hayward field. And in all fairness, he deserved that passing gesture for his gifted toe \\ rote a paragraph in gridiron history that will stand as long as America marches out to view her sons do friendly battle on the grid iron greensv ml. But it hasn't always been roses for this stocky guard who tips the beam at around 19o pounds. In his own words he has been "bunged ; up a lot" iu his lootball playing, days which are in their eighth year. "I missed most of last year,” Glendale, California’s famous son related. “I tore a cartilage in my knee in the second game last fall, and it bothered me all season. So far this fall it has been all right.” California's loss is Oregon’s gain in Huston’s case just as in the case of Bill Foskett and Vein Moore, both California boys, who along with Huston and Amato, form the bulwark of the center of the Webfoot line. Haughty California, the state which prides itself for football power, and which has enticed many a native Oregon prep school star to her schools for his higher edu cation and “higher" football train ing, must have been quite a bit "burned" when these ex-Califor nians combined to give Oregon her first victory over Stanford in 37 years of competition. Huston, like most guards, stocky and heavy set, standing five-feet ten. considered Oregon’s new turf quite "heavy" but added that it should improve. And again the California angle comes in. for Mr. Huston states that the game he is looking for ward to is the Southern Cal tus sle.

A UT Warren Drives Frosh Gridders For RookTussle Crippled Ducklings To Flash Air Game Against Rivals With emphasis placed on the aerial lanes, “Honest John" War ren sends a slightly crippled Duck ling squad into action against the Rooks at Portland tomorrow night. Warren has had two men toss ing pigskins fast and furious for the past week in an effort to lick them into shape for the Frosh Rook contest. The main plan of offense is to lay down a vicious sky barrage from all angles. Three Are Bruised Three backfield aces, Duke Han kinson, Marshall Stenstrom, and Chet Haliski, have been temporar ily placed on the casualty list. How ever, their injuries are slight, and each should see action Friday night. Showing up very well in prac tice Tuesday, Ralph Blower, 165 pounds of flying shadow from Santa Ana, Cal., has become a leading possibility in the backfield. Ralph is a brother of California’s gridiron great Floyd Blower. Finished with scrimmage for the week, the Ducklings have been going through last minute signal practice and polishing up on plays. Thirty to Travel Coach Warren plans. to send a squad of 30 players to Portland Friday noon. The linemen alone should average over 190 pounds. During the week the first string has consisted of Conaway and Hendershott, ends; Stuart and Creager, tackles; Reams and Ol son, guards; Samuelson, center; Haliski, quarterback; Hawke and Isberg, halfbacks, and Stenstrom, fullback. One hundred fifteen frosh foot ballers reported at the University of Indiana. . . . The Hoosiers lost their holdover first string quarter back, Chris Katope, when he signed with the Louisville Colonels, pro fessional baseball club.

For the first time in his seven year coaching career at Gonzaga, Coach Mike Pecarovich is facing the barrier with ample reserves, an all-American fullback prospect in George “Automatic” Karamatic, and a well-seasoned crew of sturdy regulars to do heavy duty. Determined not to waste a pow erful versatile eleven via idle Sat urdays, the master minds behind the box office end of the business scheduled 10 tough games for the Bulldogs, with W.S.C., St. Mary’s, and University of Oregon billed for the first three weeks of show. The 1937 Bulldog arsenal boasts three line-crashing "Big Berthas” at fullback in the persons of Kara matic, 190; Fred Eiguren, 200, and Fred Kennedy, 215. Kennedy, a head-on line smasher, is calculated to give the opposition headaches after a few trips through the cent er of the forward wall. Eiguren, despite his weight, runs like a deer around the wings and over tackle. Led by Karamatic Karamatic, slated to play the role of key-man in the Irish back field, will assume the triple burden of running, kicking and passing. Assisted by able blockers and fast interferers the Aberdeen Slav is destined to go places and do won ders this year. Plenty of pin-wheel fireworks will sparkle in the Gonzaga back field through the jack rabbit tac tics of Henry “Scooter” Haug and Dan “Mink” Melinkovich, half-pint exponents of the speed attack. Three Fingered Flipper Right halfback is ably stop-gap- -V ped with Big Tim O'Donnell, Idaho lumberjack, who flips passes with a hand minus three fingers. Doing his second season in the varsity “heat,” O’Donnell can be counted on to pound along 60 minutes with out a breather. Dick “General” Bauregard is another right half vet who deals in speed. Eddie Ham acher and Bud Zumwalt, a couple of sophs, will also bolster that position. Three-way Fight A torrid three-way fight is in progress for the quarterback job. A1 “Sooner” Bradford, v eteran, and Jim McGuire, former fullback, seem to be on the rail with Bert Jacobson, up from the '36 frosh crew, pounding a close third. Gonzaga’s line from tackle to tackle fairly reeks with power, weight and experience; they are lined up three-deep for each spot. Outstanding lineman is Cecil Ken nedy, rawboned 240-pound brother of Fullback Fred, listens like an all-coast selection in view of the fact that he was selected on every all-opponent team chosen by Gon zaga foes last fall.
