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.

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. The ('tides were

majors to fill out their team.
Alpha Gamma Delta defeated
Alpha Phi by a score of 3S-26.

Bill Hayward's 'Haywire'. 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

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.

Nicholson, Gebhardt,

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.
