, DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS It wasn’t long ago, not long age indeed, that people in the Bay dis trict spoke about the University of Oregon's football teams witt more or less of a snicker. One ol the top-notch southern mentors ha? even been quoted as saying that Oregon plays “dumb” football down there. People merely laughed it off b> saying that our Webfoots should stay in the northwest, in theii class. For years it was purely the guiding hand of fate that evei brought a California team up here, They always dragged our poor foot ball teams into the heated south with the excuse (possibly a very good one) that attendance down there fully warranted it. We can’t deny it, the record of Oregon teams against California teams has been truly under par. The Ducks had a traditional game with St. Mary’s, which continued for seven odd seasons, all games played there, but despite some well-piayed tilts Oregon won only once and crowds weren’t so huge, so they finally discontinued it. Against Southern California it has been the same story. Oregon captured the first game back in 1915, 34 to 0, but since then in six clashes failed to score. Rela tions were finally called off in 1935, but the round-robin sched ule brought them together again. Southern California is rated as top-heavy favorite to down Oregon today. But so was Stanford. I can’t help but feel that some time soon Prink’s boys will get some breaks when they play the Tro jans. Why not today? Callison has a bunch of ambitious sophomores, mingled with veter ans, and improving by leaps and bounds. Oregon looked good in los ing to UCLA three weeks ago, then gradually gaining stride sailed into Stanford in a memor able upset, and really turned on Gonzaga. * * * Possibly they're due for a let down. Southern Cal. might too following that bruising 13 to 12 win over Ohio State last Saturday. Let-down or no let-down, the Stan ford victory—Oregon's first in his tory over the Indians—may be the beginning of a new regime against California clubs. Our pals around the shack want some predictions on today’s clas sics, so here goes. Number one is this Trojan affair. I’ll play a hunch and stay with the Ducks. More manpower and scoring punch is the reason. A good offense is the best defense anyway. California’s Golden Bears face Alonzo Stagg’s College Pacific and the Cal. Aggies in a twin bill. Cal ifornia 25, College of Pacific 0. Calfornia 83, Aggies 0. A lot of touchdowns for one day, but Cali fornia has the team. Washington and Washington State tangle at Pullman in one of those yearly classics like our •‘civil war” with Oregon State. Too much Washington, 20 to 6. UCLA over Oregon State, 18 to 7 ... St. Mary’s over Loyola, 12 to 0 . . . Oregon frosh over South ern Oregon normal, 19 to 7 . . . Santa Clara over Portland univer sity, 20 to 9 . . . Idaho over Utah, 7 to 6 . . . Enough this week. Ducklings Face Third Test of Season Today John Warren’s Unbeaten Proteges Play in Field Dedication at North Bend Tackle Creager Out of Starting Lineup; Wally White to Sub for Injured Lineman As Warren Shifts Forward Wall Staters, Bruins Dedicate Orange Sward Today Soph to Lead Uclan Attack on Husky Baiting Beavers OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 15.—UCLA’s color ful Bruins, led by their brilliant Kenny Washington, sophomore passing and running star, will clash with the new Orange turf field here Saturday afternoon. The game will start at 2 o’clock. Booked as one of the important conference clashes of the season, matching a pair of dark-horse teams, both in the middle of the pennant chase with an excellent chance of advancing toward the crown, the initial home game will be filled with color. In addition to the dedication of the field, the game will feature Dad's day, an annual celebration here. Same Beaver Lineup Coach Lon Stiner of the Beavers indicated he will start the same team which defeated the Huskies, 6 to 3, last week. Star of the line up will be Joe Gray, the freckled phantom of the backfield and sec ond to none as a passer on the coast. Elmer Kolberg, another star of the Orange backfield in his own right, probably will play the most important part in the Beaver defense against the Bruins. Coach Bill Spauling upon arriv al here late this week announced he probably would start Woodrow Strode and Nash at ends; Murdock and Wyrick, tackles; Pfeiffer and Cohen, guards; Ryland, center; Johnny Baida, quarterback; Ken ny Washington and Hal Hirschon, halfbacks, and Billy Bob Williams, fullback. Probable starters for the Orange are Don Coons and Joe Wendlick, ends; Frank Nihil and John Watts, tackles; Frank Ramsey and Pres cott Hutchins, guards; Jim Orr, center; Bill Duncan, quarter; Joe Gray and Jay Mercer, halfbacks; and Elmer Kolberg, fullback. Amphibians Draw Coed Swimmers About twenty-five girls turned out Thursday evening for the Am phibian tryouts in Gerlinger pool.

Bob Creager, Kent, Washington tackle, is out of the fray because of injuries. Wallace White will an swer the first round bell in his place. Line Is Switched The forwat-d wall is due for a shakeup with Worthy Blaisdell planking his cleats in the left guard berth, and Lou Mason serv ing as understudy. Roy Adams will probably get the call at the pivot position; A1 Samuelson, reg ular center, has a weak ankle. In the backfield all is quiet ex cept for the replacement of Mar shall Stenstrom, Seattle fullback, by Gene Schultz. Stenstrom suf fers from a bruised side. Win Last Year Jean Eberhardt’s SONS are out to gain vengeance for last year’s 26-6 trouncing by the frosh grid men. The Normal grid squad draws largely from the Coos Bay area for its material. Eleven men from the first two teams hail from that region. Pulling anchor at 8 this morning, Warren takes 29 charges with him. His tentative starting lineup has Bob Hendershott, left end; Wal lace White, left tackle; Worthy Blaisdell, left guard; Roy Adams, center; Barney Reams, right guard; Jim Stuart right tackle; Norm Conaway, right end; Chet Haliski, quarterback; Don Mabee, left half; Duke Hankinson, right half; Gene Schultz, fullback. I,-— "i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiUiiiiiiuiiiHiiiuiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuniiiiiiiiiiiii By GEORGE PASERO PAUL ROWE Paul Rowe took one look at American football and decided he’d play the game. Now when Paul Rowe decides he is going to do something he doesn’t waste any time in doing it. So the next time Mr. Rowe took a look at America's favorite fall pastime he was seeing it as a regular of Oregon's 1936 fresh man grid team. All of which is the second act of a long play entitled ‘‘The Rise of Paul Rowe.” The first act dates back at least three years. The scenes are the rugby fields of western Canada and the stage is Victoria, British Columbia. Rugby fields flit in front of a Canadian audience in phantom-like procession, and ghostly figures of athletes playing hard, fast rugby are mirrored in the center of the scene. And through all of these battles of sport, a handsome blond, modern Greek adonis seems to stand out as surely as if focused by a beam of light. The second act begins with Paul Rowe’s leaving Canada for the United States and the University of Oregon. Here, the practicedeyes of the football coaching staff see him as the ideal fullback of the Mike Mikulak type, rough, fast, and rugged. Then began his period of reform ation. In less time than it takes to do your morning housework, this blond giant was playing in the second game he ever saw. Immediately, rumblings about Oregon’s new fullback rolled the length of the coast. Stories were told of the Duck man who oppos ing scouts said might out-Mikulak Mikulal; Big Paul, now 20 years of age, has been more than bearing out predictions. He has taken hold of the game with amazing rapidity. Now he rivals any fullback on the coast and his football act is just starting. The stars say, “Watch Rowe in the next two years,” for the third act and grand finale lie in the future. But to come back to Rowe’s rug by days, the Sigma Phi Epsilon High, Wide, and Handsome Arlelgh Bentley, utility fullback and quarterback, may be punting ’em for Oregon at Los Angeles today. Callison's Ducks Face Trojans in Eighth GridTest Oregon Team Holds Lone Victory Over Southern Rivals (Continued from page one) punts paved the way for the two Ohio State touchdowns, one of which was made by air and one by land. As in the case of USO, the Web foots lost their first game, but came back to win the rest of the tussles on their slate. Although they scored 13 points in the first game against UCLA, the Ducks went down to defeat largely through the influence of Kenny Washington, 26 to 13. Goal Kick Wins Game In their next game, with the Stanford Indians, Joe Huston’s ac curate toe provided the margin of victory when the Duck3 won 7 to 6. Graybeal scored for Oregon on a pass from Bob Smith, while Jim Groves plunged through the line for the Stanford score in the fourth quarter. Last week, Prink Callison’s sophomores went touchdown crazy against Gonzaga scoring eight times, although two of the scores were called back. It is largely as a result of this game that Steve An derson will probably start the game this afternoon. In the back field with Steve will be Hank Nil sen, Dale Lasselle, and Arleigh Bentley, according to the lineup Coach Callison was using before he [left here for the southland. une Against Indians In the line were John Yerby, Don Kennedy, Bill Foskett, Cliff Morris alternating at the other tackle with Bill Estes, Joe Huston, Captain Tony Amato, and Vernon Moore al ternating with Denny Breaid at center. Now that Bud Robertson has re turned to form following his Stan ford game injury, he will probably start at end instead of Don Ken nedy. The largest score ever rolled up by a University of Arizona foot ball team was its 110-0 victory over the New Mexico Military in stitute in 1921. member still thinks a lot of the game. “Rugby helps football players quite a bit. It aids timing, devel ops speed and footwork and gives you practice in ball handling. How ever, I don’t think it will ever achieve the popularity down here it holds in Canada. The nearest approach would be a combination of the two games.” The six-foot-one Paul Rowe thinks Oregon has a chance to up set the apple cart and conquer the Legions of Troy today so . . .

Limited Budget Prevents Boxing, WrestlingTeams Meeting Is Called lor Next Tuesday to Discuss Chances By PETE IGOE There is very little possibility of boxing and wrestling becoming a minor sport at the University this year, according to Dr. R. W. Leigh ton, dean of the school of physical education. Dr. Leighton stated that the present budget of the physical education department would not meet the expenses of any new sports. Several students of the Univer ' sity have evinced considerable in terest in boxing and wrestling as a sport, and Dr. Leighton immedi ately took the matter up with both the physical education board and the faculty. Meet Tuesday A meeting has been called for Tuesday by all the boys Interested at which the matter will be talked over and explained by Anse Cor nell, graduate manager. It is probable that both sports will be attempted as recreational sports if enough interest is aroused. Much difficulty has been met in attempting to obtain a coach, and Three Games Slated For Conference Play COAST CONFERENCE STANDINGS California Oregon . Stanford . Oregon State Washington UCLA . use.

All six participating teams have suffered a single defeat so far this season, and another loss will defi nitely eliminate the loser of each of tire three games. Trojan Fray Important Probably the most outstanding of the three games is the Oregon Southern California game, which will be played at the luemorial coliseum in Los Angeles. USC will at the present time nobody has been mentioned. Coast conference eligibility rules are very strict concerning boxing and wrestling. Anyone who has boxed in Golden Gloves or AAU tournaments be comes ineligible. enter the game as a slight favorite, despite Oregon's convincing display of power in their 40 to 6 victory over Gonzaga. All indications point to the clos est battle the two teams have wag ed in years, with Oregon’s "Sappy Sophs” liable to do most anything to wrest a victory from the war riors of Howard Jones. Cougars, Huskies Meet Washington and Washington State will get together up at Pull man Saturday in a contest which Huskies are expected to grab off without too much trouble. Injuries from the California game and Washington's reaction after their surprise defeat at the hands of Oregon State make the Cougar’s chances appear very slim, on paper at least. However, Washington State is always a tough club to beat on their home field, and is liable to pull another upset out of the bag. Bill Spaulding’s Bruins of UCLA will invade Corvallis on the same day for a crack at Lon Stiner’s Oregon State Beavers. Both teams will be fighting hard for this vic tory with the battle cry of the Beavers being, “Stop Kenny Wash ington.” The battle will mark the dedication of Oregon State's new turf field, and Oregon State back ers are hoping for an initiation victory.
