DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Breather? A lot of coast foot ball’s raving fandom, and sports writers are railing tomorrow’s Gnnzaga game just that. Whew, I’d like to see a really tough foot ball team then. Prink Callison and his 40 Web foots don't regard Mr. Mike Pe carovieh’s team as a breather at all. Past games against the “Zags” have been to bitterly fought to al low any such thoughts. True, Gon zaga has yet to score on an Ore gon team, but the winning margin has averaged only one or two touchdowns. No cinch about that. For Oregon, the Spokane tilt is an “off” Saturday from the regu lar conference schedule. That much can be said about it. Pure ly a king's-x” Hereafter, due to a conference ruling, there will be no mid-season “king’s-x” games for any of the eight clubs. Next fall the first seven consecutive Satur days for each team will be filled with a round-robin date. Any in tersectional games must come af ter that. * * * Line Coach Gene Shields re turned from California this week where he scouted Gonzaga's tilt against St. Mary’s, praising the Bulldogs highly for their task of holding Slip Madigan’s Gaels score less. St. Mary’s is weaker this season, we’ll grant that, but re member also Gonzaga’s scoreless tie with Washington State a week previous. One consolation, Mike Pecaro vich’s stubborn Bulldogs are evi dently not an offensive team yet. However, it takes a pretty smooth combination to score on either Washington State or St. Mary’s. The main problem for Oregon is to pierce the massive “Zag” for ward wall, which Gene says will carry a weight advantage. It was Oregon’s line work in the Stanford' game which caused plen ty of worry for mentors Callison, Shields, Reed, and Mikulak. One explanation of course is that Prink used a six-man line in an ticipation of some heavy aerial bombardment. Loss of Tony Ama to, center of inspiration in the Duck line, is another plausible reason. * * * Of course it need not be said that George Karaniatic must be stopped. Karaniatic, a potential all-American fullback candidate, is key man in the Gon/.aga offense. Dynamite George handles a triple job of passing, running, and kick ing, and when called upon uses his JtIO pounds to advantage in block ing. Two half-pints in “Scooter” llaug and “Mink” Melinkovioh, should also be a tremendous both er to would-be tacklcrs. A 60-niin ute player in the person of Tim O’Donnell, lumberjack from Idaho, who flips passes with three fin gers, fills the right half post. That’s a sample of Gonzaga's backfidd. The liue’s defensive record speaks for itself.

Last fall the Lemon-Yellow first year men won both games from the rooks by scores of 18-6, and 25-0. Linemen Bolster Team AI Husk, 229-pound tackle, who has been absent from the campus due to an illness in his family, and Gordon Olson, 180-pound all-city guard from Jefferson high of Port land, who injured his leg the first day of practice, are the returning linemen who figure to add strength to Warren's forward wall. If game plans call for aerial fire works on the part of the Duck lings, Warren can use any one of a quartet of excellent passers. Leonard Isbcrg, all-city prepster from Benson high of Portland; Duke Hankinson, all-city of Seat tle; Del Dungey, Scappoose flash, and Don Mabee of McMinnville, all are rated better than average tossers. Paced by Dow The attack of Wild Bill McKal ip’s Oregon State Rooks will cen ter around Rowdy Dow, 195-pound triple-threater from Montana. Oth er Beaver Babe stai'3 who will bear watching are Leonard Youncc, Roosevelt tackle, and Jake Her gert, Jefferson halfback. Hankinson, Dungey, and Isberg are rated a toss-up for the left halfback post. All three weigh around the 180-mark, and Dungey and Isberg are potential 60-yard ; kickers. I At right halfback, Warren will i choose between Bill Hawke, husky ! Seattle line smasher, anil Mabee. Haliski at Quarter Chet Haliski, the barrel-chested Roosevelt high gridder, is almost certain to open at quarterback, and will be relieved by Gene Schultz of La Grande. Fullback is another position that presents little difficulties to War ren. Brawny Marshall Stenstrom will take over at the start of the game with Gordie Bishop and George Andrews in reserve. ! TTrosh ... Glimps By WES JOHNSON DI KE HANK1NSON Among tlio galaxies of stars al ready present on the Erosh squad, we have another, “Duke" Hankin son, who conies from Garfield high in Seattle, Washington. “The Duke," as the boys call him, is all athlete in no small way, for lie was selected on the city all-star in both baseball and football. Despite the fact that he had offers from the two Washington schools he spurn ed them for Oregon. "It is the spirit and the democratic way in which the school is run that made me change my mind." He was counted on as one of the many triple-threat men that "Hon est" John Warren had in store. "The Duke," however, will be un able to play, for in Tuesday’s scrimmage he received an ankle injury which will put him on the shelf for the all-important affair with tlie Orange Babes tonight. Duke's fire and pep will no doubt be missed for he was something of a spark plug in the baekfield.

By GEORGE PASEKO JAY GRAYBEAL Eastern Oregonians have a re markable faculty for voicing to the world in general, and elaborat ing to the heavens the hugeness of their eastern Oregon jackrab bits, and in consequence to more than slightly stress the jumping ability f said “specie” of rabbit. And when you take into consid eration the record jump of Pen dleton's number one “jackrabbit,” little Jay Graybeal, an unknown from the plains of the eastern part of the state to one of the most feared backfield aces on the coast, you almost have to believe these rabid sectional patriots from be yond the skyline. Coast football experts are unani mous in the opinion that it was this same “Jolting Jay,” more than any other single factor, that has put the needed spark into Ore gon's play. They forecast a bril liant future for this youngster in his next two years of varsity foot ball, and they applaud his daring, yet expert, signal calling, his cat like shiftiness, his speed which ri vals the "canter” of a couple of a couple of Umatilla county jack rabbits chasing a Wallowa county elk, and even his defensive play. Maybe it's because this slim 155 pound lad has always been accus tomed to plenty of elbow room and the wide, open spaces, and maybe its because straight football would be too dull for an action-loving, take-a-chance kid, but anyhow, this Jay boy takes to the new open style of football like a bunny to a spring green. “It's my strong point," he mod estly avers. "I've got cussed more than once about it, but I like it better than the straight-power system." Here's another angle to that Stanford classic last week. Boyish-looking Jay thought that the Indians had poor pass defense. That might explain why he called that dangerous pass to the flat in the last five minutes of the game when the Ducks were leading by a 7 to t! score. Graybeal. A TO pride, packs more muscle on that five-feet-nine frame than you might think, unless 'you saw him in the flesh. Shades of Mark Temple hung over the Hayward field turf last Saturday when this 20-year-old la l from the Roundup area limped out of the game in the first quarter with a deep gash in his shin, grit ted his teeth while Bill HaywaVd, Oregon's renowned trainer, stitched it up, ana then went back into the ball game, the patch on his leg showing like a true “cottontail.” “The cut took three stitches," Graybeal said. “Bill had to stitch clear to the bone; you bet that hurt." The question of Oregon's foot ball prospects came up next, and Graybeal wasn't hesitant in his CARBURETOR u.

Not by a darned sight. Reaching way down into his repertoire, dazzling Jay pulled out a daring combination of a forward lateral which really was a mas terpiece. “I’ll bet you one thing, we'll be ahead of Oregon State this year.” The Alpha Delta Pis entertained friends at a preference tea last Sunday. Team Leaves For Spokane; Cripples Back Callison Spends Time Preparing Defense For Bulldog Attack Via Air Route By BILL NORENE Oregon's varsity went through their final workout—except for a light one before embarking Friday —yesterday afternoon in prepara tion for the coming Gonzaga battle Saturday. In what will be an effort to stop the passes of George “Automatic” Karamatic, Prink Callison spent approximately a half hour running Bulldog pass plays against a sur prise defensive backfield. Backfield Switched Only one sophomore, Paul Rowe, was in the backfield which tried its hand at stopping passes from Gonzaga formations and plays. Jimmy Nicholson and Dale Lasselle were at the halfback posts, with another surprise, Arleigh Bentley, at quarterback. Arleigh, who has been out of practice with a cold, received the nod over Hank Nilsen, who, it was thought, had a mort gage on his position. Have Wind Sprints The usual wind sprints began the practice, with Coaches Callison and Shields spending time, both during and after the passing practice, on dual blocking. Chuck Bracher, who twisted a knee in practice, reported for prac tice today, as did Captain Tony Amato, but both again enjoyed comparative rests. Cliff Morris, towering tackle, reported for the first time this week. The big boy has been bothered with sinus trouble.
