DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Oregon against Oregon State, Jay Oraybeal against Joe Gray, call it what you might, we’re going to witness a whale of a scrap just four days from now. Scarcely a contest in the United States receives more attention than the Wchfoot-Beaver duel. Wheth er both clubs have lost every game playe, or meet with unblemished records, it means the same. Anoth er “civil war” clash. Forty-one time the ancient rivals have match ed wits. Not so long ago it was Oregon State's lied Franklin and Oregon’s Mike IVliUiilak, both all-Americans, who packed ’em in. Previous to that it was Johnny Klt/.miller and someone else. Always there are individual players who arc in the limelight. Saturday afternoo it you’ll be watching the Graybeal Gray duo facing each other from opposite safety positions. Prepare for some thrills. * * * While Prink Callison is building for one of the big afternoons of his life, moaning Honest Warren isn’t quite twiddling his thumbs. For Friday night, Honest John is going to gather his frail Ducklings to gether for a jaunt down to the Beaver institution. Of Course the Oregon yeanlings have only won two games and tied one out of three, including a win over the rooks, but is Mr. J. War ren optimistic ? Do fish play pino chle? The fro.sh mentor may, in a weak moment, admit he has a fair ball club, but never has he pre dicted a yearling victory over the Orange Babes. At least not in pub lic. Actual facts are that since the Oregon and Oregon State yearling teams started playing twice a sea son (It’s three times this year) in their “little civil war” they estab lished a pnoanny knack of dividing honors. However, Oregon's “vow ing sophomores,” mere freshmen last fall, ruined all tradition by grabbing both, and doing it handily too. One was by 18 to 6, the other, 26 to 0. Moaning Honest John has reason to worry about Friday night’s tilt, for the Ducklings bare ly defeated their rivals at Portland a week ago, 19 to 12. It should be a ball game. * * * The old fishing tale of “the big one tliat got away” must Ironically apply to Colonel Itill Hayward, veteran trainer and track coach, himself an honest to goodness fish erman.

Hobson Gives Ducks Chance To Down OSC Gray, Kolberg Are Big Guns in Beaver Offensive, Assures Scout Coach By BILL NORENE Oregon’s Webfoots have an even chance to trim Oregon State’s Beavers Saturday according to Howard Hobson, basketball and baseball coach, who scouted botii the OSC-Washington and the OSC UCLA games. The Beaver’s main strength lies in their heavy line, Ulmer Kolberg, and Joe Gray; while Oregon's strong points are her capable re serves and the more varied running attack. Ramsey Big Hoy With Jim Orr at center, 230 pound Frank Ramsey, and Pres cott Hutchins at guards, Frank Nihil and Leon Sterling at tackles and Ends Don Coons and Joe Wendlick, the Oregon State line will outweigh the Webfoot forward wall approximately 10 pounds to the man. With Elmer Kolberg backing up the line, the Stater's have practic ally a touchdown-proof line. Kol berg, who also performs on Slats Gill’s varsity hoop team, is one of the best defensive fullbacks on the coast, as well as being an excellent line plunger according to Hobby. Coach Lon Stiner has built his attack around Joe “The Ghost” Gray, whose running, both inside and outside the ends, and passing, especially his deadly accurate short passes, is of all-American caliber. Stop Gray Coach-scout Hobson added that if the Ducks can stop Gray, they will have little to fear in the way of an Oregon State offensive, ex cept for the punting of Bill Dun can, Beaver quarterback. Oregon State has used few sub stitutes in the games Hobson saw, and for this reason Coach Stiner has only a few experienced re serves. Watts, Hackenbruck, Moun tain, Sutherland, Alexander, Hol comb, and Eilers are practically all of the OSC reserves who have seen action. 17= i By WES JOHNSON TnT s i i :u .iKT Prink Callison need not shake, his head next fall for a tackle when next year's crop of sopho more's appear for their Initial taste of the varsity grind. In “Big Jim Stewart” Callison has his ideal tackle. “Big Jeem” as he is called by his fellow mates is big, rough and burly, along the “Biff" Mor gan type of a few years back. Standing around li feet and weigh ing in about 212 pounds, “Jeem” is plugging up the tackle berth on Warren's highly touted frosh grid ders. "Big Jim" gained experience at Hermiston high, down the state way, where he played four years at the tackle position on the high school team. To date he has played in every game and there is no inclination that he will lose out in the com ing fray this Friday evening when they go again against their arch rivals, the Orange Babes. “Jeem" always turns In a good game at his position. Just the kind of ball player to play his best when the going gets tough as well as rough. He just tears the opposing line to shreds. Forrest Twogood Fooled 'Em Proper When Basketball and Baseball Coach Forrest Twogood appeared al the equipment room of Sioux City high school, back in his prep school days, the coach refused to give lum a uniform because he was too small.

Kappas Outscore Theta Teamc47-9 In Coed Volley Alpha Omicron Pis. Chi Omegas in 24 To 24 Tie By EVA ERLANDSON The Kappa Kappa Gammas over whelmingly defeated the Kappa Al pha Thetas by a score of 47 to 9 Tuesday evening in the women’s I intramural volleyball tournament. The Kappas show promise of being one of the outstanding teams in the tournament by their fine team work. They have a knack of work ing the ball to the center line, play ing it back across the court to the net players and then killing the ball. The game between Alpha Omi cron Pi and Chi Omegas turned out to be a tie, ’24-24. In the first half the Alpha Omicron Pis were in the lead showing the best teamwork and the-best individual players, but in the second half the Chi Omegas made a remarkable comeback bringing the score to a tie. Tri Delis Forfeit Due to tlie fact that all their players were unable to come, the Tri Dells forfeited their game to Susan Campbell.

Defence Is Key-note As Oregon Staters Prepare for Ducks Scout Jim Dixon Reports Oregon's Offense Is 'Rest in Years'; Stiner Plans to Drill on Pass Defense l OREGON STATE COLLEGE Corvallis, Oct. 19.- “Defense” is the word in Oregon State’s football camp this week as the Orangemen prepare for their traditional BIG game with the University of Ore igon this Saturday in Eugene. Jim Dixon, Oregon State’s chief scout, is principally responsible for the importance of “defense.” Scout Dixon returned fiom seeing Oregon against University of Southern California and declared, “Univer sity of Oregon has the finest of fense I've seen in many years, and that does not exclude the Wcbfoot offense that featured Mike Miku lak several seasons ago.” Dixon Comments Speaking of Oregon’s much-pub licized' sophomores, Dixon said, "I've heard a lot of talk about Oregon's sophomores. I could count only three sophs in the start ing lineup and that's the lineup we’ll have to beat. Those juniors and seniors are good!” Lon Stiner, Oregon State’s head coach, plans much practice this week on pass defense. He recog nizes Oregon's passing attack as one of the best on the Pacific coast. Stiner Is Mum Coach Stiner will make no state ment when asked what type of at tack he plans to use against the Wei foots. The Orangemen beat Washington by passing and they tied UCLA with power. Equal amount of time will be spent on running and passing in the Or ange camp this week, Stiner indi I cates. The Orangemen came out of the UCLA game with three injuries. Prescott Hutchins, right guard; Leon Sterling, right tackle, and Warren Gillis, left tackle, are on the hospital list. Hutchins and Sterling are regulars and ate ex pected to be ready for the Oregon game if their injuries respond prop erly to treatment. Elmer (Butch) Vickers, of Doug las. Arizona, assistant line coach at the University of Arizona, and former star end, captained the football, basketball, and baseball teams at various times during his varsity athletic career.

The more you know about any activity the more you enjoy it. Here is a chance to learn from the "Mighty Mike” himself some of the fine points on football. The freshman squad will demonstrate the plays and sti-ategy that he explains. Some of the points that he will cover are: How not to watch the man with the ball. How the line and back field coor dinate so as to make good plays. Tiie difference between the dif ferent types of blocks. How to watch the referee and his signals so as to understand what the penalties are. Under what circumstances dif ferent types of plays are used. The women’s physical education department is planning a series of such "appreciation” talks how to be an interested and intelligent spectator of football, basketball, tennis, badminton, and the dance.

Call for PhilipIMorris 4ft Scorecast Now on Varsity vs. OSC Frosh vs. OSC Haliski Hurt As Ducklings Eye Rook Tilt Warren's Ace Back, One of Nine Frosh Gridders Injured as Game Time Nears By BOB JORDAN With ace fullback Chet Haliski suffering from serious back injur ies, the Ducklings' hopes of sound ing another victory call in the sec ond battle of the "little civil war" at Corvallis Friday night was dealt a severe setback. Haliski was kicked during Mon day's scrimmage session. He has a very badly bruised' back and, possibly, a split rib. According to Trainer "Squeak” Lloyd, they are 80-20 against Chet showing up against the Rooks. Nine Are Hurt Taking plenty of pounding, nine yearlings are on the casualty list. A1 Kraitz has a shoulder separara tion also suffered in scrimmage Monday. The following are recov ering from past injuries: Bob Wit ty, sprained wrist; A1 Krieger, sprained wrist; George Andrews, sprained toe; Norm Conaway, pulled leg muscle; Bill Hawke, neck injuries; Marshall Stenstrom, bruised side; Gordon Olson, bad knee; Milford Smith, pulled arm muscle. All these should be in fighting form by the week’s end. "Honest John” Warren sent his charges through a scrimmage meeting again last night. He pushed them hard on passing, tackling, and basic fundamentals. Warren Comments In characteristic form concern ing the Ducklings’ 21-0 defeat of the SONS last Saturday, Warren stated, "They showed complete lack of knowledge concerning the fundamentals of the game, and their tackling was terrible.” With their sole aim to crush the frosh in revenge for their earlier setdown, the Oregon State year ling squad has been going through intensive drill this week. Particu lar emphasis has been placed on blocking, with Jake Hergert and Dick Mehlhop the shining lights. The Rooks have yet to grind out a win this season losing to the Ducklings, 19-12 and battling Ore gon Normal to a 7-7 standstill. The frosh are on top of the heap with a 21-0 shutout over the SONS, and a 6-6 push with Oregon Normal, in addition to their Oregon State con quest. Dented Troy Ted Gebhardt, Oregon backfield reserve, countered in second Duck touchdown against Southern Cali 1 ornia by dashing 71 yards on a short pass.

Al though the Webfoots emerged from this conflict the loser they can account for all their time spent at the coliseum Saturday afternoon, By GEORGE PASERO CECIL WALDEN When Cecil Walden reads this column, he will scan it with the practiced eye of a newspaper tech nicion. He won’t be looking for the col orful phrases that describe his per sonality and football ability. Rather he will be looking through it for journalistic errors, for correct style and correct wording. His viewpoint will be that of the i newspaper man, rather than of the football hero, for Mr. Cecil Walden of La Grande, Oregon, and Prince Gary Callison’s Webfoot gridiron aggregation is a journalism major, and what’s more, a junior. Walden is the third of Prink’s stock guards. Standing about five feet ten inches, and weighing around the 200-pound mark, he [ closely resembles both Tony Amato and Joe Huston, Oregon’s two sen ior guards in build. The big lineman is another east ; ern Oregon boy, hailing from La Grande high sahool where he play ed three years of football and East ern Oregon Normal school where he was a regular for a year. From EONS Walden transferred to the Duck campus to pursue a journal istic career, and tafre a whack at big time football. And eastern Oregonians are gaining quite a reputation for mak ing good on the gridiron at Ore gon. Whether or not boys from east of the Cascades develop such a remarkable faculty for football from chasing jackrabbits, even the staunchest eastern Oregonians re fuse to divulge. To the hardest question asked yesterday, Cecil Walden hesitated only a little in answering. “It’s hard to say what linemen I've faced this season were the best. Certainly Zagar and Ander sen of Stanford were two of the toughest, and Radovich of South ern Cal was good,’’ the boy with the silkish voice commented. “And say, I think Stanford had the strongest line we’ve faced all year, stronger than USC's.” DON’T FORGET The "King of Jazz" will be here Friday for the Homecoming Dance.

Ducks Get Spotlight The spotlight may be turned on Jay Graybeal, the Pendleton feath er-weight, and Ted Gebhardt for tallying more points against the Trojans than any Callison aggre gation has thus far. They will have an opportunity to continue opera tions next weekend when Hayward field becomes the scene of the an nual “civil war” between the Ducks and the OSC Beavers. It remains to be seen whether or not Washington, one of the pre season Rose b.Qvyl fayorites, can recuperate sufficiently to over come the rapidly improving Card inals of Stanford. Cougars to Travel Pullman fans were subject to an unveiling last week when the Cou gars rolled back their blanket of mediocrity and displayed some brilliant football in holding the fav ored Huskies to a 7-7 deadlock. The WSC squad journeys to Los Ange les for an engagement with the UCLA Bruins Saturday, and it is expected that the dark clouds of Bill Spaulding’s outfit, Washington and Strode, will give them some thing to worry about. The Uclans were held, 7-7, in the battle at Corvallis this week, by the battling Beavers, who revealed themselves as a definite threat in retarding Oregon’s charices ' of chalking up another mark in the win column. The stater’s hopes rest primarily upon the broad shoulders of fullback Elmer Kolberg, and Joe Gray, passer deluxe of the Orange backfield.
