DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Poor Beavers! Splash! Splash! More Beavers! Splash! Oh, oh, that one was from Willamette. Splash! Splash! Time—.lust before noon on Mon day. Scene—All over the Oregon campus (mostly the mill race). And so endeth another Univer sity of Oregon homecoming. Or maybe it hasn’t ended yet. At any rate about one hundred Stat ers are probably wondering today which is worse—to get thor oughly dunked, or to lose a ball game. It’s great to see Oregon spirit on the comeback, but mob psychol ogy can be carried too far. No one wants to see arms and legs broken. A little friendly dunking nsn't quite so bad. The SA!Es should be com mended for their afternoon danco which relieved a tense situation. Never again do we care to watch Oregon students quietly file away from a game like the Stanford af fair which was Oregon’s first win in history over the Indians. * * Prince Gary's fighting Webfoots have displayed promising football this season, and Saturday staged one of their most determined goal line stands in history for 54 min utes, before finally succumbing to a stronger Beaver team. Six times Joe Gray and his Orange mates were repulsed within striking dis tance of the goal line. Once, big Elmer Kolberg’s fourth down drive was piled up a foot away, another time Bob Smith in tercepted a pass but five yards short, a pass fell incomplete in the end zone, and a short place-kick also went haywire. The unemotional Gray Ghost merely took each desperate Oregon goal line stand as a tough break, and with his pals kept hammering away. With less than ten minutes to go he fired a touchdown pass in the flat to Bill Duncan and he dropped it. Seconds later though Mr. Gray tossed a couple of per fect heaves to the same Mr. Dun can who scored. The Oregonian’s L. H. Gregory anil other writers are ealling Joe an all-American now, and If not that he’s certainly plays of all coast caliber. The Gray Ghost takes a terrific beating in every game (just count the number of jerseys he has ripped off) and comes back for more. Red frank lin was a great player too, but he was hit, and hit plenty hard by Stanford’s Monk Moscrip, who shelved him for several weeks. We can’t overlook the inspired play of Oregon’s forward wall which critics a week before dubbed a sieve. In one series of downs when Oregon State had a first in' side Oregon’s five they piled up Kolherg twice, Gray, and Kolherg again tor a net of four yards, short by inches of a touchdown. Two of those plays were directed at Ccce Walden, who replaced the injured Captain Tony Amato. Rill Estes, llank Nllsen, Dale ],usscllc, Amato, and several oth ers who turned in beautifully de fensive performances, were bat tered or temporarily disabled. This Saturday though Callison’s boys get a much needed rest from round-robin play. They're out of the championship running now, but ready to give an club a terrific scrap. * * * Short .shots . . .

Mighty Beavers Triumph Over Fighting Sophomore Webfoots Saturday, 14 to O Six Oregon State Scoring Thrusts Stopped Within Range by Callison's Game Ducks In 54 Minutes of Play It was "poor Beavers" yesterday morning as Oregon State’s victory parade to the campus ended in the mill race. Saturday was a different story. For 54 minutes of the big game, Prince Gary Callison’s sopho more Webfoots showed their most stubborn defense of the season, but in the end fell before demon Jeo Gray and his fellow Orangemen 14 to 0. Remember Him? You are gazing at Elmer Kol berg, Oregon State's crashing full hack, who was n big factor In Sat urday’s Beaver triumph. Three Volleyball Tilts Open Slate For Donut Play Beaver Rally Is Held Cause of Opening Games Postponed; Six for Today By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC The opening day of the annual intramural volleyball .season prov ed rather a dismal affair yesterday when only three of the six sched uled A league games were actually played. The Beaver invasion was blamed for the postponement and forfeiture of the other tilts. The Phi Dells made sure they got off to a good start in their title defense by walloping the Al pha haliers in straight games, 15-3, 15-2. The barn boys have nearly all of their last year's championship team back, and had an easy time downing the dorm team. Sammies W in The Sammies opened their drive for the title by decisively defeating the Zeta hall boys, 15-2, 15-4, and with only four men at that. Phi Gamma Delta managed to rustle a few of the boys together, and defeated the Chi Psis, 15-7, 15-0. in the closest games of the af ternoon. It was reported that the majority of the lodgers were busily dumping the Oregon State boys off i their front porch into the mill race. Schedules I.isted Barring further interruptions, the schedule for today’s games will be as follows: •1:00, court 38 Beta Theta Pi (A) vs. Gamma hall (A); court 43 Phi Kappa Psi lA) vs. Yeo men (A). 4:40, court 38 Sigma Chi (A) vs. Sherry Boss hall (A>: court 13 Theta Chi tAi vs. Phi Sigma Kappa (A). 5:20, court 38 Sigma Phi Epsi lon (A) vs Omega hall (A); court 13 Sigma Alpha Epsilon (A) vs. Sima Nu iA>. jCrosh ... By WES JOHNSON VIXEN SAMl'ELSON Have we another Bill Morris the declathlon champion among our midst ? One might wonder after looking over the record of "Big Boy" Sam. from VVinlock, Wash ington Besides being claimed twice on the all-conference team at the center position. Al was all conference on the basketball team at the same post. However, his feats do not end here, for two years he held the conference record in Almost i»,uuu raoio ians wai.cn ed a struggling, fighting crew of Oregon Ducks six times repulse Oregon State scoring thrusts with in the shadows of pay dirt. The Gray Ghost wasn't to be denied though, for as shadows began to fall on Hayward field, he fired one pass to Quarterback Bill Duncan to break the spell, and raced around left end for the other score himself. Thrill by Jay Jay Graybeal, the Pendleton jackrabbit, who has scored on ev ery coast conference team he faced this season, brought Oregon fans to their feet with a brilliant punt return of 69 yards in the last sec onds of play. Jay's little thrill went for nought though as a clipping penalty near midfield nullified it. Oregon's big scoring guns were silenced all afternoon, for only once did Callison's charges have posses sion of the ball in Stater territory. After an early clipping penalty which pushed Oregon back to the five yard line, the Lemon-Yellow gridders were almost constantly in the hole. Oregon State's forward wall which rushed Oregon’s passers and punters relentlessly all afternoon, broke through midway in the sec ond period to block Bentley’s punt and recover it on the Duck 31-yard line. Gray rushed it to the 16, but the first big Orange drive was finally halted when a fourth down pass from the five-yard stripe was knocked down. Knocks Afain Moment’s later the Orangemen were knocking again, and it took Bob Smiths’ interception of Alex ander's pass on the six-yard line as the half ended to stop them. After about seven minutes of the third chapter, they were on the Oregon four and a half yard line with a first down. Big Elmer Kol berg, Stater fullback, churned to the two-yard line, and on the next play reached the one. It was third down, and looked like a Beaver touchdown, but the Webfoot line piled up Gray and Kolberg on suc cessive line smashes and took pos session on their own one-foot line. Then with about ten minutes to play it was the beginning of the end. With fourth and ten on the Oregon 20, Graybeal was forced to punt. In three plays the Beavers marched from their own 40-yard marker to the Webfoot 19. Mercer and Kolberg in two more bucks made it a first down on the Oregon seven. This time the fighting Ducks belli for downs on their three-yard line. (Short I’mil Graybeal's punt carried only to the 24, and from there it took flashy Joe Gray just three passes to turn the tide. One was incom plete, but the other two were straight to Bill Duncan, and he lugged it over. The Ghost’s 13-yard touchdown run came but two min utes later. Prescott Hutchins boot ed both extra points.

Believe it or not Sam has been handicapped by a bruised ankle all season Though one might not have noticed it. it has unfortunate ly held him back. "Big Boy" is majoring m the physic i! education department, and ! hopes to follow into the ranks of j big time coaching. "The big little northwest foot j ball game this coming Friday night at Multnomah stadium in Portland will be our toughest of the season and we will be gunning for that title. ’ proudly stated Sam "it will be a great game." Rock Along With Rach Hill Itach (Rock to you), ex-Seattle prepper, fullback on the Duck varsity, saw enough action against Oregon State Saturday to estab lish himself. Good Big Man Always Comes out Victorious By GEORGE PASERO The old saying that a good big man is better than a good little man held true once again Saturday when the big Beaver from Oregon State college clipped the wings of the lighter and smaller Oregon Duck, 14-0, in Oregon’s biggest football game. There may be an exception to the rule. Yes, they say there has been times when a good little man has come out on top, but you couldn’t make P. G. Callison, coach of the Webfoots, believe it, not af ter Saturday’s game. Ducks Are Outweighed And if you analyze it, you can’t blame Mr. Callison. He" saw the two-ton Beavers push his boys, who were outweighed about 10 pounds to a man, around the field most of the afternoon, cripple about six of his players, and then add insult to injury by chalking up two touchdowns when most of the Ducks were hobbling or grim acing from some kind of an injury. No sir! You can’t blame Prink if he wants big men, the biggest he can find, for future teams. Don't Forget Joe While Callison was explaining the advantage in weight enjoyed by the Beavers, he didn’t forget the “Galloping Ghost" Joe Gray. "He’s good. We knew that be fore the game, and we know' it now. His passing and running is hard to stop.” Asked about the numerous injur ies which his boys received in their titanic defensive battle, the Ore gon headman was concerned only wdth the twisted knees of pale Lasselle, senior back, and Captain Tony Amato, chunky guard. Many Bruised “The rest of the boys are all right, just bruised,” Prink said. "We don’t know how bad Lasselle and Amato are injured yet.” The genial Oregon mentor ap peared happy at the thought of the open date which the lemon and Duck Ralliers Kidnap State Students, Auto Take one midget automobile containing two visiting Beavers, surround it with a swarm of aroused Webfoots, and what have you? Profeceding at a moderate clip down Alder street in their Aus tin yesterday afternoon, the Staters were spotted by the crowd at the SAE tennis court dance, whereupon a solid mass of Webfoots, still excited from events of the past few hours, marched out into the street, agul after halting the car by sheer weight of numbers, picked it up with its wheels still spinning and deposited it and its two extreme ly disgruntled occupants gently but firmly on the SAE back porch. green forces draw this week, the additional week of practice coming just at a time when it is most needed to give his injured gridders a chance to recover from their hurts. "We’re going to need this open weekend,” Callison grinned. LOST Child’s plaid umbrella. Phone 1670-W.

In those final five weeks, they take on WSC, University of Cali fornia, University of Washington, San Diego Marines, and University of Arizona. The first two games are in Portland, the next in Seat tle, the Marines will be played in San Diego, with the last game of the season coming off in Arizona. Have Good Rest Coach Callison has not scheduled any tough practice for this week, prefering rather to let his charges rest from their grueling campaign. Only two serious casualties were listed following the annual Civil War battle which occurred here last Saturday. Both Dale Lasselle and Captain Tony Amato have their knees in casts. The casts are due to come off in a day or two, and until then not much will be known about the extent of the in iuries. However, it is safe to say that both ball players will be under the care of Colonel Bill Hayward, Ore gon trainer, for the better part of the week. Arleigh Bentley was kicked in the mouth during the fray, but the injury is not as serious as either of the other two. No practice was held yesterday. liiimiiimiiismininmmimui Apparently, there is nothing in the football world this side of the Rocky mountains that a California 'boy playing football for a northern college (meaning the Oregon and Washington colleges) would rather do than beat one of the so-called “hot-shot” teams from his own state, California. Ted Gebhardt, the California boy playing lots of halfback for the University of Oregon, is no differ ent than the scores of other “sun nyville” boys who come to the northwest for their football career. The smiling 180-pound triple threater admits that he would be happy, indeed, if Oregon knocked over a couple of the Cal schools this year. That, along with a couple others, is the reason Mr. Gebhardt came to Oregon. “I thought I would study more up here, and I wanted the change, so when I got the chance to come up, I came,” said Ted in explaining why he entered Oregon instead of a California school. What’s more, the Beta boy thinks his reasons for playing for the Webfoots are not too far dis tant from those of the other Cali fornians on various Northwest teams. Coming back to the California angle, Gebhardt’s explanation of his hope of beating the southern schools might explain a little bit why he ran so hard in the Southern California game after receiving a flat pass from Steve Anderson. He dashed about 78 yards to score on ,that play. By the way, the 20-year-gld half back, was a teammate of Vic Bot tari. California's ace ball carrier at Vallejo high school.

Marshall Stenstrom and Chet Haliski are the only frosh on the casualty list. Stenstrom 'suffers from a bruised calf, and Haliski has an injured kidney. Although Haliski is on the doubtful list, Stenstrom is sure to set his cleats on the gridiron Friday. Sending his charges through speed tests, blocking and tackling practice, and ending with a tough scrimmage, Warren set his boys a stiff pace last night. W'ith three wins and a 6-6 tie to their credit the Oregon yearlings are hanging on tight to a perfect percentage. If they can surmount the Washington hurdle, the mythi cal northwest title is practically in their lap. However, the Babes have one of the toughest teams in their history. It will take everything the Duck lings can pull out of the sock to end on top of the tally sheet. Chi Psi Footballers Win'BeerBust'Fraij Edge Out 6-0 Victory Over Rivals From Phi Psi District A hard-hitting Chi Psi eleven, packing plenty of punch, upset the Phi Psis Sunday morning, 6-0, in the annual game between the two rival fraternities. The lone score came in the middle of the second quarter when Haines, left tackle for the lodgers, recovered a Phi Psi fumble on the Phi Psi 8-yard stripe. On the next play Ken MiHef, left half, carried the ball over for the score on a cut-back play over tackle behind smooth blocking. Skirving’s try for point fell short. The Phi Psis put up a good game throughout, keeping the two hundred spectators on their toes. Chi Psi made two first downs as compared with the Phi Psis’ one. Both teams fumbled several times and numerous passes were intercepted. The most spectacular run of the game came late in the last quarter with the Phi Psis in possession of the ball on their own 2-yard line. Jones passed to Hamer, who evaded three tack lers, running 50 yards before be ing brought down by Miller, Chi Psi safety. of fullbacks, he can call on Geb hardt to do a little pinch-hitting without trusting the position to a stranger for Gebhardt played full : back in junior college. At any rate, there is a battle in the offing two weeks from Satur day when California and Oregon, and incidentally. Bottari and Geb hardt, meet on the Multnomah sta dium field in Portland.
