DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS A face is an index to the mind, conceded that freshman football teams are an indication of what such and such varsity will accom plish during a future two or three year period. John “we can't win” Warren, Duckling skipper, has produced some whirlwind teams in the past few seasons, and taking their rec ords as a sample, it is easy to pre dict some pleasant Saturday after noons for Prink Callison and staff. Remember Stanford’s great year ling “vow boys” of Bobby TJray son's class? They came along and licked everything in sight during the fall of 1932, and for '33, '34, and '35 finished either in a tie or undisputed possession of first place in the Pacific coast conference. Tiny Thornhill took his Indian lads to the Rose Bowl on New Year’s day following the latter two seasons. To Oregon in 193(5 came a group of freshman lads who developed a; mythical northwest yearling cham- j pionship for themselves. On that club of Honest John's were such performers as Jay Graybeal, Paul Rowe, Steve Anderson, Ellroy Jen sen, Vic Reginato, Larry Lance, Connie Grabb, Bill Rach, Russ Tn skeep, Frank Emmons, Dennis i Donovan, Bob Blenkinsop, and oth-; ers. They're the razzle-dazzle sophomores of today. These baby Ducklings also be came "vow boys” during the peak of a campaign which saw them edged out but once. Oregon normal did it, 7 to 6, on a mud-soaked field. Graybeal, Rowe, Anderson, and company made it known that they would personally escort Ore gon to her first Rose Bowl visit in 20 years. They’re making lots of mistakes now, are those "vow boys,” who beat Oregon State’s rooks twice, the Washington Babes, and South ern Oregon normal all in one sea son. But just paint a little picture in your mind of what they will be doing in the fall of '39. Watch ’em next year too, but best of all see what they do soon against Cali fornia, Washington State, Wash ington, ad Arizona. Out of that string should come some gridiron history. Returning to item number one of this column, freshman football, there in more to be said. F.xploits of the 1986 wonders have been told, but what of this fall? Well, lads and lassies, history seems to be repeating itself. Tonight at Multnomah stadium in Portland, an unbeaten crew of Lemon-Yellow Ducklings face pos sibly their heftiest test of the sea son. They meet the University of Washington Babes (whose lino av erages a mere 208) for the north west’s mythical yearling title. The frosh already hold a pair of wins over Kill IMeKalip's Oregon (State bcavcrlings. Katlier old, but still good, is the story of how a lineman became promoted because of a hula hula dance. It saved Dick Trzuskowsky, 215-pound University of ladlio sophomore, from opening the cur rent season at a tackle berth, lie stopped around so deftly at an en tertainment stunt between halves of a basketball game last winter, flint Coach Ted Itank immediately said, "lie’s a natural back.” Dick was tried at fullback in spring practice, and stayed there.

Building, Eugene Phone 2973J Frosh Meet Husky Babes in Portland Tonight Mythical Northwest Title At Stake in Annual Clash Between Ancient Rivals John Warren's Boys Underdogs Against the Heavier Babes, Who Boast Victory Over Bellingham Normal Eleven By BOB JORDAN With the mythical northwest title the spoils of battle, "Honest John Warren's frosh squad will don armor against the Washington Babes on Multnomah field in Portland tonight. Although Chuck Mucha’s charges are slightly favored to cop the crown, the Ducklings should dis play fast, wide-open tactics with the answer in doubt till the final cannon shot. The Oregon yearlings have im proved greatly in blocking and de fensive play since the initial part of the current season. Warren’s dynamiting backs have kept apace blasting out 66 markers in four contests. Seattle Ducks Shine Frosh play will be centered around three backs from Wash ington’s camp ground: Marshall Stenstrom, Duke Hankinson, and Bill Hawke. Stenstrom and Hawke will start the fracas in the fullback and right half berths. Hankinson, leading Duckling point man, will be held in reserve. Quarterback Chet Haliski and right half Leon ard Isberg, former Portland all stars, will get the call at the other second-line posts. Rudy Macha and Frank Monkus, members of the entire baekfield transplanted from Chicago, are mainsprings in the Babe grid ma chine. Mucha, 216-pound line backer, dose sentry duty at right half, while Monkus holds out at fullback. Left Half Dean Mc Adams, triple threater from Cald well, Idaho, and Ted Dorman, ex Portland pigskin stalwart, com plete the Washington quartet. Two Portlanders Play Holding- the tackle spots on Mucha’s eleven are two other Port land aces of a year ago, Jack Coon an of Grant and 265-pound Bob McKeown of Franklin. In four previous starts this sea son, the green warriors have taken three tussles and split one, holding down a perfect percentage to date. The Ducklings trounced the rooks in two straight, 19-12 and 20-7, smashed the SONS, 21-0, and fought the Wolves to a 6-6 dead lock. In their only mixup to date, the Babes squeezed out Mellinghant normal 8-0, but Bellingham in turn took the Washington State freshmen, 12-6. This leaves both squads undisputed dictators of their respective territories. Alumnus Sponsor Under the auspices of the Ore gon alumnus chapter of Portland, the two squads, after years of war fare, meet for the first time in that city. Warren's boys tossed the Babes over the fence, 13-6, in Scat-1 tie last year. Oregon strategy calls for a mix ture of fake reverses with wide end sweeps. Occasional air travel will also be in order. Practice ended with a short drill under Hayward field's klieg lights last night. With a 30-man travel ing squad leaving for Portland at noon today. Frosh Defeat Sophs In Women's Hockey Wednesday afternoon the fresh men defeated the sophomores in women's hockey by a score of 1-0 in the first game of the season. It was a close game all the way through. The sophomores made several threats but couldn’t quite push it over because of the very scrappy defense the freshmen showed. In women's intramural volleyball 1110 ('rule's defeated Alpha XI Del ta by a sem e of 1)9-17. This game was not originally scheduled for Wednesday but was changed at the last minute.

All of which is a long story and quite a football "yarn."

Trainers Battle Prink Callison's 'Mauling' Managers in Terrific Grudge Contest By GEORGE' PASERO The sporting eyes of the nation will be focused on Eugene between the hours of 10 and 12 Sunday morning. Football fans from the far-flung slopes of the Atlantic seaboard to the shadows of San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge will push from their mind all the cares, and strife of the hurly-burly world, and gather eagerly around the fire place, all ears cocked intently in the direction of the loudspeakers from which will gush eloquence and descriptive artistry originating' from the throats of thousands of CBS and NBC announcers due to arrive on the Oregon campus some time this week to portray to the waiting world a vivid word picture of the battle to be staged back of the ancient St. Mihiel salient (Igloo to you) Sunday morning. (Take a breath.) The Week’s Classic Forgotten will be the classics of the weekend headed by the Minne sota-Notre Dame and the Stan ford-Oregon State tussles. The only war that will count (Sino Japanese conflict and Spanish civil war excepted) will be that titanic, colossal, gigantic, stupendous, in comparable clash between Bill Hayward’s “Haywire” trainers and Prink Callison’s "Mauling” man agers. Ever since the beginning of the pigskin season the feud between the two personnel departments has I been brewing. Lavish press dis-; I patches originating from the “dis tillery” (rubbing table to some) j .and the “cow stables" (better known as equipment room) have ! swept the nation, arousing the faithful to a fever pitch. The feeling grew until it ex ceeded all proportion, with the cul mination coming in a challengei fcom the "rubbing monkeys" to I settle it all on the battlefield be hind tiie “Eskimo hut." The trainers' literary epistle ran , like this: "Bill Hayward's trainers! challenge Callison’s "miserable" ! managers to a football game to the bitter end. October 31 at 10 a.m." , This "bombshell" set things off. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. The managers tacked up an ac specialize in Stea ks Chops 25c & 30c Sea Foods Sandwiches Salads Noodles Chili Spaghetti j ceptance to the challenge which was elegant in its satire and lilting style. “Callison’s ‘mauling’ managers accept the challenge of Hayward's ‘haywire’ trainers.” And below this ‘‘Hemingway” message was scribbled these lines: "Callison’s men predict a whole sale slaughter of managers by 10:15. Rumor has it that there won't be any managers fit to rub down an athlete until 1940.” Mathews Praises 'Grand Old Man' PORTLAND, Oct. 28. (Special) Matty Mathews, University of Portland coach, joins in the ap plause for Alonzo Stagg, ‘‘grand old man,” who tutors College of Pacific Tigers. Mathews watched the Tigers lose to California recently, and opined that the Stagg team is one of the best-coached outfits he has seen all year. Slippery Ball Annoys Backs Despite Resin Nicholson, Gebhardt, Emmons Take Care Of Mail Delivery During Practice Despite liberal applications of Bill Hayward’s “stickum,” Ore gon’s backs continued merrily on their fumbling way as Coach Prink Callison spent the afternoon brush ing up on Oregon’s ground attack. Figuring that in all probability the rest of Oregon’s games would be played in the rain, hampering the passing attack, Coach Callison took advantage of the downpour which drenched the campus yester day to give his backs some actual experience handling a wet ball. Nicholson to Fore Jimmy Nicholson, advanced fol lowing his fine showing in the OSC game Saturday, Frank Emmons, and Ted Gebhardt did most of the ball carrying for the first string, while Bill Rach and Steve Ander son did the ball lugging for the reserves. The first string line was practic ally the same as the one used yes terday, being composed of Robert son and Yerby, ends; Foskett and Estes, tackles; Huston and Giovan nini, guards; and Vernon Moore, center. Backfield Listed In the backfield Callison had in addition to Nicholson, Emmons, and Gebhardt, Hank Nilsen at quarterback. Emmons of course was at full with Ted and Nich at the halfback posts. In the reserve line at ends were Don Kennedy, the grapenuts kid, and Vic Reginato with Merle Pet ers and Ellroy Jensen at tackles, and Ron Husk and Melvin Passolt at guards. Denny Braeid held down the center position during the workout. With Steve Anderson and Bill Rach in the backfield were Denny Donovan, at quarterback, and Jim Cadanesso filling in at halfback. Cce Walden went in for Giovan nini on the varsity later in the practice, and then Nello replaced Passolt on the reserve forward wall. §PI iiiHiiimiiHMiiimiiiimiiiiHiiimi FREEMAN’S KAKMELKORN m ■ H SPECIAL This ad and 20c will buy a 25c bag of I KARMELKORN ( ■ at FREEMANS ELKORNi s ■ SHOP 1 ■ 18- 8th Av.
