DUCK
TRACKS
By ELBERT HAWKINS
A prognostication percentage of
between .600 and .700 on nation
wide football games isn’t exactly
disastrous, but if is far from being
good enough to qualify you for
syndicate features. However, since
last Saturday, I picked up a little
trick from another proggie, which
should add at least 50 points to the
old percentage.
IVlost of the boys now forget tie
games, and don’t count ’em unless
their guess was also a deadlock.
If you pick 20 winners out of 30
some Saturday, your average is
.666, but if five of those are tics,
the edd percentage zooms up to
.800. Savvy?
This week we'll pick games by
sections, from the coast, East, Mid
west, South, Rocky mountain, and
the Southwest, which should give
a fair sample. Forty-six games is
the total.

Three big contests in the Coast
conference are billed for today, all
of them figuring in the champion
ship. Number one In interest finds
California’s undefeated first-place
Golden Bears locking with the
University of California at Los
Angeles. The Bears will remain
unbeaten with a 20 to 6 victory
over UCLA.
In a "natural,” one that might
go cither way, Oregon State’s dan
gerous Beavers face Stanford' at
Palo Alto. Lon Stiner's boys have
been showing brilliant football, but
Stanford is due for a rise. Stan

Washington Babes Submerge Frosh 26-0
Mythical Northwest Title
Captured at Portland by
Final Quarter Point Spree
Monkus and Rudy Mucha, Running Mates
From Chicago Pace Winners, Intercept
Passes; Mabee and Stenstrom Star
A first quarter touchdown plus
a wild scoring spree in the final
period gave the Husky Babes of
the University of Washington a
26-0 victory over Honest John
Warren's Oregon frosh under the
lights of Multnomah stadium in
Portland last night. /
The Washington freshmen struck
a vital blow in the opening minutes
of the first period when they
marched to the frosh 6-yard line
on a sustained power drive. Backed
to their goal line, the Warren men
j tightened and held for clowns,
kicking out to the Washington 38
yard stripe immediately.
Husky Pups I let urn
Undaunted the Husky pup came
snarling back, and on six plays
planted the oval back of the Ore
gon goal line, Monkie Monkus, big
fullback, who played the leading
role in the Babe’s attack, going
over for the score with Vani, con
verting.
The count stood until early
in the final session when the Babe
ground offensive began clicking.
Monkus and Rudy Mucha, running
mates from Chicago, took turns
i tinning the ball down the field,
marching 63 yards to the Frosh
two where McAdam dove to pay
dirt, Vani again converting.
Take In Air
Trailing 14-0, the frosh opened
up with an overhead attack in an

Fordham and North Carolina
are about a toss-up. The Rams
should blossom a little brighter
than North Carolina, beating
them, 14 to 12, in a scoring melee.
Maryland and Florida are due for
a donneybrook, the former tri
umphing, 7 to 6. Mississippi will
sneak off with a 6 to 0 win over

There’ll be a couple of routs in

over Colorado State, 35 to 0.
Southwest
From the good old Southwest,
where upsets are plentiful, another
Saturday of close games is on tap.
Another good old-fashioned toss

Slugger Joe Gordon
Reaches Pinnacle of
Yankee Farm Chain
Former Wefofoot Second Baseman Is Ready
To Step Into Shoes of Tony Lazzeri; With
Present World Champs
By GEORGE PASERO
When the murderous New York Yankees trot out on the diamond in
St. Petersburg, Florida, next spring to loosen up muscles cramped by
a winter of idleness, a new figure, unfamiliar to big league fans, will
step up to the platter and whale away for the fences.
He will be Joe Gordon, the University of Oregon’s contribution to
big league baseball, and he will
make the jump to the midst of the
Yankee Murderer’s Row hailed by
ivery baseball scout from here to
the Three-Eye league and every
sports scribe from Portland to
Newark as the next Joe McCarthy
rookie sensation.
Yankee Scouts Nab Him
Gordon has been tabbed as Yank
material ever since he cavorted on
;he Duck campus, the Yankee
icouts keeping close track of his
■xploits in college, and then grab
>ing him off in 1935 and sending
lim to Oakland for seasoning.
But the story of Joe Gordon’s
ise to baseball prominence dates
lack farther than that. About six
■ears ago he was a promising kid
in the Jefferson high nine of Port
and.
At the same time on another
’ortland high school club (Frank
in by name i a big kid that handled
limself like a coming ball player
ras carving a name for himself in
Portland interscholastic baseball,
le was Ray Koch, and for the next
hree years his name was destined
o be linked with that of Gordon's.
Caine to Oregon
Both of these kids came to the
Jniversity of Oregon campus
coining offers to turn pro, and
fter a year on the frosh diamond
ggregat ion, they formed the spear
lead of an Oregon drive that

Harriers Will Have
Chance at Awards
With minor letters definitely
assured Oregon runners finishing
in the first half of the field at the
annual Hill Military Thanksgiving
cross-country run, Bill Hayward's
harriers, coached by Sam Me
Gaughey, settled down this week to
strenuous training.
Hayward's announcement of the
award of letters has injected new
life and spirit into McGaughey’s
contingent of varsity prospects
which number around the thirty
mark.
This is the first time that the
minor "O" has been given for
cross-country work.
Crawford Lyle, Oregon’s fastest
pacer last year, will form the nu
cleus of this year's squad which
will invade the Rose City the latter
part of this month.
The surprising mid-season form
of Kermin Storli, former Benson
star of Portland, has bolstered
hopes for an Oregon victory.
Other hill and dalers who have
begun to reach top conditions are
Bob Neese, long-winded two-miler,
Wayne Mackin, Bob Mitchell and
Jim Schriver.

Ducks Travel
To Rose City
For Next Tilt
Babe Hollingbery's
Cougars to Furnish
Oregon's Webfoots
With Opposition
Oregon’s recently grounded
Ducks travel to Portland to do
battle with Babe Hollingberry's
WSC Cougar’s next Saturday for
their first Rose City appearance
since they held the Washington
Rose Bowl team to a one touch
down victory last November.
Since last November, Prink Cal
lison has acquired two sophomore
transfers, Ted Gebhardt, halfback,
and Rod Speetzen, end, in addition
to a multitude of pass-crazy sopho
mores.
Colorful Ducks Now
It is these sophomores, led by
Bob Smith, Jay Graybeal, Paul
, Rowe, and Steve Anderson, who
have made Oregon’s coast confer
ence representative one of the most
colorful in the business.
The Smith to Graybeal combina
tion is expected to be Oregon's
most potent weapon when the time
comes for the Duck's attempts to
score on the tough defensive line
that Buck Bailey has turned out.
Except for a game with Califor
nia’s most recent edition of their
wonder teams, the Cougar line has
been crossed only once all season.
That was by the malemutes from
Seattle in their game at Pullman
which ended up in a 7 to 7 tie.
Washington Leads Bruins
UCLA with the brilliant Kenny
Washington showing the way scor
ed 26 points on the Ducks' medi
ocre defense, but Washington's
flashy runs and accurate passes
were more than nullified by the
accurate toe of Joe Sienko, star

Sunday's Skirmish
To Be Bloody Battle
Participants Put Out
Usual Long-Winded
Statements
Woe be unto anyone who crosses
the dividing line between the train
ing and equipment rooms of the
Igloo without first making known
his identity and mission.
Years ago a couple of guys
named Mason and Dixon ran a line
across the United States to sep
arate two dissenting sections, and
now a cuple of guys named Bob
Officer and Leo Marlantes have
called that strip in the center of
the athletic department in the
basement of the Igloo the “forbid
den land.”
And all of this is because Bill
Hayward's Trainers and Prink Cal
lison’s Managers have severed dip
lomatic relations and are now in
the throes of a "bloody” civil war.
The warring factions will have it
out Sunday morning when they
clash in a touch football game at
10:15 on the practice field back of
the Igloo, and until that time all
strangers wishing to remain in ex
uberant health keep away from the
Igloo.
A pre-game statement from Leo
Marlantes, cocky captain quarter
back of the Mauling Managers
seems to indicate that the score
will be about 100-0 for Frink’s pro
teges.
Plenty Touchy
“Our plays are so tricky they
even fool us. We’ve only got five,
but every time we pull one it’s
good for a touchdown. Why, I
don’t think we’ll even try for the
extra point.”
Bob Officer, leader of the “Rub
bergorkies, remains silent about
his team’s prospects. “I ain’t say
in’,” says he.
Lineups from the front: Miser
able managers: Jim “Slasher” Da
vey, half; R. L. Stephenson, poet
and end; Larry “How” Straight,

Potential Stars
Fall in Campus
TennisTourney
Eddie Hearn Drops
Bob Street, Kupfer^
Also Loses
The elimination of last year's
singles champion and the Portland
city champion featured the first
round of the all-campus tennis
tournament which was finished
early this week.
Wally Kupfer, last year’s winter
term singles champion was elimin
ated for the tournament by Harold
Faunt in a hard fought match.
Kupfer teamed with Ronnie Husk
last year to take part of the glory
in the doubles championship.
Street Loses
Bob Street, city champion of the
Rose city was unexpectedly drop
ped by Eddie Hearn, singles cham
pion two years ago, and veteran of
three all-campus tournaments.
Other potential champions
who survived the first round play ^
were Les Werschkul, fall term
singles champ last year, and Karl
Mann and Pete Klonoff, tourna
ment veterans. Bob Horning who
blows a mean trumpet in Babe Bin
ford’s is also adept to equally
swinging a ping pong paddle, and
will probably give some of the title
contenders a good race.
Quarter-finals Soon
Second round matches were list
ed to have been completed by last
Wednesday and all participants are •
requested to contact their oppo
nents and play off the matches as
soon as possible.
Quarter-final matches should be
completed by November 3.
The semi-finals have been reach
ed in the doubles competition with
two favored teams still in the run
ning. Dick Phillipi and Ken Ship
ley of the Phi Delts are slated to
oppose C. Smith and L. Eaton,
ATO duct, and B. Campbell and
Coats tangle with Wally Kupfer
and Eddie Hearn, the SAE base
ment team.
It is requested by the intramural
board that all participants regis
ter their scores on the intramural
bulletin board in the men’s gym.
