Ducklings Shade Orange Babes, 19 to 12, at Portland DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS I p at little Gonzaga university —the team Oregon faces today— they call it the “Automatie-syn Kramatie,” shift. To Webfoot fol lowers it is composed of about 99 per cent Karamatic. Mike Pecarovieh has a nice lit tle touchdown machine r.n his squad it seems, not the only' ore, but un questionably his trump card. So, building his house from the front door so to speak, Irish Mike built his Gonzaga club around this man. That is what they tell anyway. George “Automatic” Karamatic, 190 pounds of him, plays fullback on the “Zag” eleven, passes, punts, blocks, tackles, intercepts passes, and harasses opponents in general. Coaches say that Karamatic could make any team on the coast, and I’m inclined to believe every word of it. Mr. Pecarovich, the story goes, did a lot of thinking last winter. He schemed and drew diagrams for weeks, and with the coming of spring had devised a very clever little gridiron wizardry in the pre viously mentioned “Syn-Kramatic shift.” Press reports from Spo kane call it a variation of the No tre Dame shift, "except that the hops, skips and jumps have beer altered from the original enough to confuse the opposition and draw them out of position.” Now I'm not a “doubting Thom as,” nor have any prejudices against Mr. Pecarovich. “Auto matic" Karamatic and the “Syn Kramatic” shift will be hard ti stop. That part of the yarn hold; up under fire, BUT, to stop the ripping, roaring Bulldogs tomor row Oregon will have to do more than bottle up George Karamatic Yoit can bet good American monej on that.

That is a wel come call, for it brings back mem orics of what Coach Hobson's Lem on-Yellow hoopmen may do (hi winter. Fielding Yost, coaching geniu whose Michigan teams of the pas tore up the gridiron for three dec ades, made a statement recent 1 that players, not systems f< coaches, are mainly responsible fr championships. It certainly sound plausible for you need not loo far for examples.

The frosh opened the scoring in the first period when Stenstrom carried the ball deep into Rook territory on a 20-yard run from his own 26. Hankinson scored from the 1 yard line. In the second pe riod the rooks came from behind to tie the score, and then forged ahead when Tomich threw a pass to Hergert who hit the ball with his finger tips to Ferris, rook end, who scored from the 10-yard line. The Rooks lead at half time, 12-6, after Oregon had been penalized 10 yards. Tied in Third The score was tied in the third period when the frosh scored again, but the climax came in the fourth period when Hankinson took Younce’s kick on his own 45 and ran it back for a touchdown. He also kicked the extra point. The rooks’ main offense was the hard plunging of Dow and Tomich. It was the first of three games to be played between the two teams, and was the yearlings' first win of the season as their first game ended in a deadlock. Volleyball Schedule Fixing Is Delayed The intramural volleyball sched ule will not be drawn up for a week I or ten days, according to a report, received from Professor Paul t WasWfte, director of the men’s | gymnasium.

BAKERY FRESH MEATS DELICATESSEN Ellsott’s Grocery Phone 975 13th & Patterson Oregon Staters Face Husky Club at Seattle "Fumbleitis" Believed Cured as Beavers Finish Drill OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, October 8. After a hec tic week of scrimmage, during which veteran seniors saw action on second string berths before working back to starting lineup po sitions, Oregon State's aerial minded Beavers were pronounced much improved and ready for their second conference clash, of the . season ■ against University of Washington at Seattle this after noon. Head Coach Lon Stiner concen trated on the Orange attack of "Fumbleitis,” felt by the Beavers in both opening contests against Idaho and California, with satis- ( factory results. Signal drill and £ over-time work with the passing j attack constituted most of the ( practice time this week.

Ir - ST?-_=1 DALE LASSELLE Behold! A ball carrying back who really likes to block, tackle and play defensive football. Dale Lasselle, veteran right half back of Prink Callison’s Webfoots, is the lad, and his performance in the Stanford game proves very conclusively that he can carry that old pigskin. He moved the ball 84 yards down the greensward last Saturday to outgain all other Duck backs. But in spite of his ability to pack the mail into the other fellow’s territory, this black-haired, ex Grant high football product, real ly takes to this blocking game— usually a bane to most highly-rated ground gainers. And incidentally, a ball carrier who can block will solve many a coaching problem, and add a good deal more deception to the attack, so football authorities will tell you. “A good block or tackle, well executed, gives you more satisfac tion than a good run," the fiery 178-pound right halfback explain ed, and from the right halfback post, the position he usually plays, Mr. Laselle gets ample opportunity to practice the blocking art. Lasselle, a boyish-looking, but well-built triple-threater who has been Prince Gary’s "Handy Andy” of the backfield in the past three years, having played every position behind the line but quarterback, looks more like a youngster out for liis first football season than a veteran of three years of bruising battle on the gridiron. The two-year letterman from the Beta house on the millrace figures Oregon to hurdle Gonzaga this af ternoon. but soundly avers that the game will be no set-up—on the contrary, a very tough one. Jimmy Phelan's Washington Huskies will provide the "battle of the year" as far as the five-feet ten Lasselle is concerned. Like many of the other squad members. Dale has been pointing for this tussle, always one of the hardest games of the season for both teams. "Washington is always our big game. We play good ball against the Huskies, our traditional foe, and the game really is a lot of fun." "And say this open football is all right. It's more fun and a lot easier on the ball players." Whether its open football or power tomorrow against Gonzaga and its prospective all-American Automatic George" Karamatic, when Laselle gets in that bail game, it'll be body contact, and how. for such is the blocking half back's assignment.

University of Oregon's Webfoots will clash with Gonzaga's highly rated Bulldogs who are fresh from their great scoreless battle with San Francisco last Sunday in which they held Slip Madigan’s St. Mary's Gaels to an even up finish. At Los Angeles, a capacity crowd of 80,000 football fans is expected to jam the huge Mem orial coliseum to watch Howard Jones’ Southern California Trojans, rated as Jones’ best outfit in sev eral years, play Francis Schmidt’s Ohio State Buckeye’s in the only intersectional game of the day on the coast. The eyes of the whole Pacific coast conference will be trained south to Berkeley where the snarl ing Cougar of Washington State college attempts to smother the hopes which Stub Allison and his Gold Bears of California entertain of going through the round-robin schedule of the Pacific coast con ference undefeated. Hollingberry’s club, always dangerous when on the short end of the odds, will be out once again to spill a southern contender. Moving to the north, the foot ball camera will catch the Univer sity of Washington doing battle with the determined forces of Ore gon State college from Corvallis.
