DUCK TRACKS By ELBEIIT HAWKINS Forty times Oregon and Oregon State football teams have flashed on battle-worn gridirons. Just 23 times the Webfoots returned to their dressing rooms in a happy mood. Only ten times have Oregon State teams turned the tide. That is all in the past now. Today they meet again. It isn't .just wins and losses to those teams, no, not ail tradition. To Frink Callison’s and Eon Stiner’s boys the whole season hinges upon which end zone the pigskin is planted in the most times this af ternoon. For weeks the athletes set their hearts on the contest, they care not if a few games are lost here and there, but to erown their season with success means to win the an nual “civil war” tilt. One club may have had more success during the season, may be an overwhelming favorite in betting, but to the ath letes and coaches it means only eleven men against eleven men. Today, it so happens, Oregon and Oregon State meet on Hayward field’s new $10,000 turf with about even odds. Oregon has defeated Stanford, and lost to UCLA and Southern California. Oregon State has won over Washington, tied UCLA, and lost to California. It would mean the same if neither had won a game. What does the future hold ? Will Joe Gray pass the Webfoots crazy, and big Elmer Kolberg rip our line to shreds, or will Jay Graybeal and Bob Smith team for enough touch downs to turn the trick? Some where between fifteen and twenty thousand people are going to see for themselves this afternoon. They do every year. The only reason ably safe bet you could make about it is that Oregon and Oregon State won’t fight to a scoreless deadlock. Joe Gray threw passes all over the field in Oregon State’s tremen dous upset of Washington, and they called him the coast’s best for that specialty. The ghost was sty mied by rain against UCLA last Saturday, but fooled ’em by flash ing some real hip-swinging, ball packing. He was then called an all-coast player by experts who said Joe was most of Oregon State's drive. * * * Maybe not the triple-threat Gray iN, Oregon haw a mite from the sage regions of eastern Oregon named Jerry Graybeal, who is possibly more dangerous when it comes to point-malting. Jaekrahbit Jay has scored on every team in the confer ence so far, and is one reason why some “proggies” pick the Wchfoots to win. Of course you have to fig ure one IJoi> Smith who flips left handed, and is dangerous any time he handies the hall. Oregon State's forward wall has chalked up a wee better defensive record than Gene Shield's Duck line, but to offset all advantage there, Oregon rates tops in touch downs. In huckficld reserves, the Wchfoots have a definite advan tage. But if Elmer Kulberg returns to the form he showed against Nebraska last fall, tills may be offset. IJne-play won’t settle the issue, not by far, but a lot depends upon which forward wall gets the jump and holds it. A Beaver victory will unquestionably result if Oregon's linemen are outchurged badly. Al lowing them an even break, Ore gon’s superior manpower in hack field reserves might settle it. Push ’em down Tony Amato, Duck captain, who returned to ac tion against USC, is raring for action as is Bill Rach, sopjiomore fullback from Seattle, who has been out this season with a bad leg. Add to that the big improve ment of Steve Anderson, sopho more passer, and running threat, who earned himself a starting (Please turn to page three) WELCOME CRADS...

Two bruising backs, Marshall Stenstrom and Duke Hankinson, smashed the rook line to shreds in power play after power play in the final two periods to score all three of the Duckling touchdowns. Score on 73-yard Drive Midway in the third period, Sten strom and Hankinson drove 73 yards straight down the field on straight running plays to reach pay dirt, Hankinson plunging over from the three yard line. Toward the end of the third per iod, Norm Monoway, frosh end, re covered a rook fumble on the Or ange Yearling’s 4-yard line from where Bishop pushed the pigskin over in three plays.

Oregon State's Gray Ghost Joe Gray, slight Beaver triple tlirciit, is cnlled the Gray Ghost, and truly deserves it, for he is expected to worry Callison’s Ducks plenty this afternoon. Gruy is demonstrating above just how it is done. Illllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lllilllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllinilll!>lll By GEORGE IWSERO JIM MX NICHOLSON Here's one young man who pre dicts that the sik-ways are being greased for the mighty and plenti ful Bear from California. He is James Nicholson, diminutive speed boy left halfback of P. G. "Wode house” Callison's d e t e r m i n e d Ducks. If you take it from the stocky little ball carrier, who stands only about five feet eight inches in height, Stub Allison's Golden Bear is due for a tail-spin ere long. Sat urday is the day he picks for the terrible catastrophe. An the Trojan Warhouse, snort ing as of old and piloted by that rambling, ambling all-American jockey, Am by Schindler, is tin force that will do it. "1 haven't seen the Bears this year, but they have practically tin same club which we faced last year and we ran the ball up and down the field. I realize the papers are giving California all the edge, and that the Bears have wonderful reserves. But personally, T think Southern California might do it . . it's a long shot though," the blonde junior optimistically de clared. In answer to the question of just how tough Howard Jones' team is. the 21-year-old Phi Delt called the Trojans the toughest team on the ; Welcome ; Grads I ORLGANA ■ CONFECTIONERY coast for Oregon to play. “They play hard and block hard.’’ Beside being a crackerjack ball carrier, the 170-pound "antelope” is quite a baseball plyaer, patrolling the outer gardens for Hobby Hob son's varsity nine. Jimmy studied the Oregon State situation which will be unfolded Saturday on the Hayward green, and then gave vent to his opinions thusly, "We have a good chance of beating OSC, but don't underrate the Beavers. They're tougher than most fans think, and they’ve been coming fast since their defeat by Cal,” Incidentally, Nicholson was the boy who was stopped all of an inch or so short of the goal line in the Oregon State game after plowing through the whole Beaver team at Corvallis last year.

Web foots Organize Mitt and Mat Group For Ambitious Pugs Meeting Results in Organization for Boxers And Wrestlers; Plans Are Made for Teams To Represent Oregon By PETE IGOE Twenty-three men met with Anse Cornell, graduate manager, and ; Dr. R. W. Leighton, dean of the school of physical education, Tuesday ; night, and organized the University of Oregon Mitt and Mat club. The ! Mitt and Mat club will represent the Webfoots as an organization which will sponsor boxing and wrestling. Much interest has been shown - recently by several boys who de- [ sired to make boxing and wrestling I minor sports. They took their case J to Dr. Leighton, who immediately j took the matter before the athletic board. Not in Budget The meeting was called Tuesday for the purpose of letting Anse Cornell talk the matter over with all the boys interested and to make some sort of an adjustment. Mr. Cornel! stated that at the present time the budget adopted by the athletic board could not possibly meet the expense of new sports. He said, however, that the University was impressed by the interest shown, and would cooperate to the fullest extent. After the situation was ex plained, and the University's stand on the matter made clear, the boys felt that some closely knit organi crowded winter term schedule and will be slated to replace intra mural touch football which was ruled out by the intramural execu tive board this year. rhi Belts Last Lear The A league championship will gain for the winning team a total of HO points toward the intra mural crown and the B league title carries with it a total of 75 points. The Phi Dolts profited extremely well last year by coming out on top in both departments of the game. The opening day’s schedule con sists of all A league games, the B teams will start Wednesday. Mon day’s schedule is as follows: 4:00—Court 38 - Phi Delta Theta (A) vs. Alpha hall (At. Court 43 Kappa Sigma (A) vs. Delta Tau Delta (A). 4:40—Court 38 -Sigma Hall (A) vs. Campbell Coop (A). Court 43 Sigma Alpha Mu (A) vs. Zeta hall (A). 5:20—Court 38—Chi Psi (A) vs. Phi Gamma Delta (At. Court 43 Comets (A) vs. Delta Upsilon (A). zation was needed to hold them to gether. Therefore the Mitt and Mat club was founded. James Di mit, one.of the originators of the idea was elected president. Smoky Whitfield was named boxing man ager and Willie Williams was made wrestling manager. Meet Outside The Webfoot Mitt and Matters plan to schedule matches with Ore gon State, the Multnomah club of Portland, Linfield perhaps, and several athletic clubs sprinkled throughout the state. Several outstanding boxers and wrestlers will perform on the Web foot team. The heavyweight box ers that lead the list are Jim Krei ger and Russ Inskeep. Kreiger has fought 18 fights as a Seattle ama teur and only lost one. Inskeep was two years champion of the Big Nine league in Portland. Whitfield Experienced In the 165-pound class “Smoky” Whitfield is the mainstay. “Smoky” has had perhaps more experience than any other boxer on the squad. He was also a finalist in a Chicago amateur tournament. Gale Ferris and Jack Fruit are other leaders in this division. Fruit was an out standing fighter for the Multno mah club of Portland. Willie Williams, wrestling man ager, also has much promising ma terial. Williams himself is a heavy weight and has been an outstand ing wrestler at the Multnomah club. Mike Patapoff. at 180, was a finalist in the state amateur tour nament. In the lighter division, Clarence Francis dominates the pack. For two years he has been champion at Oregon, and for three years in the Big Nine league. A turnout of about 55 is ex pected. With this impressive ar ray of talent Oregon should take a back seat to none of the schools of the Northwest in boxing and wrestling.

Against the Duck's 23 wins, the Orangemen have been able to post only 10 marks on the debit side of the pay-off ledger. The remaining seven times the Ducks have met the Beavers have resulted in ties, five of them scoreless. Last Year>#18 to 0 Last year at Corvallis, the Gray Ghost, Joe Gray, unlimbered his respected right arm and passed the Orange-jerseyed boys to a sparkling 18-0 decision over Prink Callison's men led by Del Bjork. That Orange triumph broke a string of Oregon victories which dated back to 1932 when the lemon and green clad warriors of Ore gon bounced the boys from the "farm” in Callison's debut as head man of the Webfoot forces. Caliison Magic Works The Caliison magic worked a spell over Lon Stiner's Orange cre ations for the next three years, the Ducks winning. 13-3, in Portland in 1933 when Mighty Mike Miku lak, Leighton Gee, Mark Temple, Bob Parke, Bree Cuppoletti, Ber nie Hughes, Butch Morse, and the rest of the co-champions of the conference smashed the Ironmen in a dazzling display of power, 9-6 in 1934, and 13-0 in 1935. Today's clash is called an even money by sports experts, for al though the Beavers have Joe Gray again and a strong forward wall, the Ducks have Jay Graybeal and a scoring attack that- hasn't been squelched this year. The two schools began football relations way back in 1894, with OSC (then OACl taking the init ial grid tilt, 18-0. Oregon holds almost a two-to one edge in total scoring in the 40-year period, totaling 370 points while the best the Staters could do was to chalk up 208 markers. Prink's Boys Meet Staters On Home Lot Amato and Kolberg Will Captain Rival Teams; Immense Crowd Expected (Continued from page one) Jimmy Nicholson, the Salem speedboy, has also done his share of the Webfoot ball carrying. An other of Callison’s quarterbacks is Denny Donovan, one of the best pass catchers on the squad. Denny has seen action in only a few of the games because of an early sea son knee injury. Beavers Back Gray On the other hand, Oregon state’s ball carrying policies ax* built almost entirely around one man, Joe "The Gray Ghost Gray. The 186 pounder is a hard runner, both inside and outside the tackles. In addition to this his short passes are uncannily accurate, and his long passes are almost as good. In addition to Gray, the Beavers have Elmer Kolberg at fullback. Elmer is one of the best defensive backs in the business, and a plenty good line buster. Stater Dine Heavy When it comes to the line, Ore gon State definitely has the advan tage. The starting Beaver forward wall is expected to outweigh the Webfoots 10 pounds to the man. Except for the California game, which the Bears won 24 to 6, only 17 points have been scored on this line. Idaho, a nonconference team defeated the Orangemen 7 to 6. UCLA was tied 7 to 7, while Wash ington’s Huskies were defeated in the last quarter 6 to 3. At ends Coach Stiner indicated that he would start Don Coons and Joe Wendlick. Frank Nihil and Leon Sterling will start at the tackles; Prescott Hutchins and Frank Ramsey, who will be the biggest man on the field at 227 at the guard posts, and Jim Orr. Duncan Punts for OSC In the backfield will be Bill Dun can, quarterback, who handles the punting assignment for the Beav ers; Joe Gray and Jay Mercer, the target for many of Gray’s passes, at halfbacks; and of course Elmer ' Kolberg at fullback. Against the ponderous Beaver forward wall Coach Callison is ex pected to start “radically the same line which has opened for the Ducks in their previous games. Bud Robertson, fully recovered from his Stanford game injury, and John Yerby will start at ends; Big Bill Foskett and Bill Estes are slat ed to start at the tackles, and Captain Tony Amato and Joe Hus ton will be holding down the guard I positions at the kickoff. At center, Vernon Moore has been given the ; nod by Coach Callison. Nilsen Starts at Quarter In the backfield Callison has selected Hank Nilsen to start at the all important quarterback post i with Dale Lasselle and Steve An ! derson at halfbacks, and Paul Rowe at fullback. This leaves “Jackrabbit Jay" and his running mate, Bob Smith, in ; reserve in case Coach Callison de cides that the boys need a hypo in which case the touchdown twins can be rushed into the game.
