DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAYVKINS Who is going to stop California'! undefeated Golden Bears? W'eel after week the nation’s footbal critics have merely said, “wait.’ But now they're beginning to ge panicky. For other Coast conference Rose Bowl contenders it’s now a seriou; matter. Only three clubs beside; the Golden Bears have a look in Stanford, Oregon State, and Wash ington State each have only oni defeat, although the latter twe have a pair of ties. California now has four wins and no defeats or ties, and needs to hurdle but three more obstacle in the round-robin to finish in th money. One of those three hope fills, the middle one, is Prink Calli son’s razzle-dazzle Webfoot sopho mores who can still make history in their five remaining games. Stub Allison’s California boys have shown undoubted superiority over the conference in their first four games. The Golden Bears boast 98 pointy for a 24.5 average -—far above the cellar Uclans who have a 10.2 average. As a defen sive club, yielding but 26 points in four games, they’re second only to Stanford, and tied with Washing ton. How does this conference record look ? California 24, Oregon State 6. California 27, Washington State 0. California 20, Southern Cal 6. California 27, UCLA 14. The fact remains that Oregon faces the Bears in Portland just a week from Saturday. And what a chance for an Oregon day. At present, Prince Gary Callison isn’t much worried about Califor nia, he’s looking five days ahead when Oregon faces Babe Holling bery’s brave Washington State Cougars, who still have a slight mathematical chance. It should be a honey. California meanwhiis plays host to Jimmy Phelan’s title defending Washington Huskies at Berkeley. What a weekend it was for prog nosticators. We all had tempera ture rises. Pat Frizzell of the News saw his average skyrocket a bit, while this timid soul attained a .738 percentage. Upsets Were ^ not so plentiful over the nation, al though scoreless ties seemed to boom into prominence. John “we can’t win” Warren, the honest one, dopes his team wrong about six Saturdays every fall, but against the Washington Babes he called ’em right. The Ducklings kicked away their mythical north west freshman title by a 26 to 0 shore at Multnomah stadium last Friday. Eye-witnesses tell us that the previously unbeaten frosh simply met a superior eleven. Imagine them trying to tear holes in a line which averaged 208 pounds. Then you can slightly comprehend what Honest John’s boys faced. The backfield, too, was well over the 190-pound mark per man. Campaigning to put Southern California’s Ambrose Schindler— the boy who brought storm clouds I to Oregon—on this year’s all * American is losing a little bit of its impetus. Yes, he did run wild against Ohio State and Oregon on successive weekends, but of late has slowed down. California held him two weeks ago, and Washing ton State completely stopped the Trojan flash Saturday in a 0 to 0 game. He can t be a 60-minute player because of incessant leg cramps. Instead of “S'chindler talk” northwest fans are concentrating on boys like Joe Gray, and a few of his caliber. Oregon has no all American candidate like big Del Bjork, last year's great tackle, but Guard Joe Huston is beginning to stir some noise. Joe, you know, catapulted his name to nation-wide recognition with a goal conversion in Oregon’s stirring 7 to 6 upset of > Stafford. Huston is worthy, as are several other Ducks, and it won t hin t to do a little advertising. ■ Heads Up! § : Step Out! | | For that proper | I Kampus Kut call fp " at the.... r ■ § '■ Kampus * r ; BARBER SHOP 1 849 E. 13th Across from'Sigma Chi Nicholson, Jay Graybeal Featured As Gridders Work on Running Game , Tony Amato Expectec To Be. Set for Game ! With WSC Cougar: By BILL NORENE Despite the fact that Bucl Bailey’s most recent masterpieci (the WSC line) has been scored or this season only by the Huskies that is if you throw out theii trouncing received in the Cal game Coach Prink Callison apparentlj has high hopes of garnering a few points for the Yellow and Greer next week in Portland with his sc far unsuccessful running attack. Stating that Oregon's offensive strength has not been used as mud as possible, Coach Callison added “Fast men like Nicholson anc Graybeal can’t always be stopped and I believe there is a fine chance of shaking them loose Saturday.’ Nicholson to Start Callison indicated yesterday that Salem Jimmy would start at left half against the Cougars with Jackrabbit Jay Graybeal being held in reserve with his running mate Bob Smith in case the Webfoot ball carriers fail to make the hoped for gains. At the other halfback post it is believed that Ted Gebhardt will start in place of the injured Dale Lasselle. Lasselle, whose knee was injured in the USC game, will prob ably be out for another week. Tony Amato, who like Lasselle, was injured in the USC game, should be ready for the Cougars Saturday. He was in suit yester day, but did not take part in the scrimmage with the frosh. In his place Callison used Cece Walden, burly reserve from last year’s club. At the other guard was Joe Huston with Bill Estes and Bill Foskett at tackles, John Yerby and Bud Robertson at ends. Vern Moore, center, and Paul ' Rowe, Bob Smith, Jay Graybeal, and Hank Nilsen in the backfield. Sent in later to participate in the I scrimmage were Don Kennedy and j Vic Reginato, ends; Merle Peters and Ellroy Jensen, tackles; Ron Husk and Nello Giovannini, guards; Denny Breaid, center; and Arleigh Bentley, Bill Roach, Frank Em mons, Denny Donovan, and Steve Anderson, backs. Mad Ducklings Scramble With Oregon Varsitg 'Honest John' Sails Yearlings Toward EONS Meeting Meeting the Oregon varsity in a scrimmage discussion last night, the Ducklings pointed their com pass toward the EONS mixup at La Grande next Friday night. Still boiling from the 26-0 smashing donated his warriors by the Washington Babes last Friday night at Portland, “Honest John” Warren fastened his frosh squad’s nose to the grindstone last night. Speed tests, blocking, tackling, and scrimmage with the varsity formed the order of the day. War ren drove the lads through the ses 1 sion without a breather. Meet EONS Next Eastern Oregon normal is the next customer on the Oregon Year lings’ machine-gun schedule. This | will be the Ducklings’ sixth tussle in as many weeks with no time out for second wind. The casualty list hhas dwindled down to normal proportions with only three men remaining in it. Chet Haliski, back, is still bruised, but he is scrimmaging with the squad. Jim Stuart, tackle, shoul der injuries, and worthy Blaisdell, guard, chest injuries, are the re maining casualties. Ringing up three wins, one tie, and one loss, the yearling eleven holds down a .750 percentage. War ren's proteges handed the Rooki a double loss, trounced the SONS tied the Wolves, and cracked up against the Babes.

The first meeting was mainly to organize the group and to drill on a few fundamental points of bas ketball. The exercises included duck-walking to limber up the legs, dribbling, stopping and start ing, and handling the ball.

Only three games were sched uled for play due to the use of one of the volleyball courts by the Teachers Institute, which will con tinue tomorrow. Last night’s games marked the beginning of the second round of play, with all teams in the A league now having played in at i least one encounter. Phi Delts Triumph The Phi Delts started like a | whirlwind in the first game of their match with the Campbell Co-op, with the Co-op team wind ing up on the short end of a 15 to 1 score. A hard-fought Ssecond game was also wron by the Phi Delts, with the score being 15 to 12. A well-balanced Sigma hall teani failed to find much opposi tion in the Delta Tau Delta team as they coasted to an easy 15-3, 15-4 victory. Alpha hall forfeited to the Kappa Sigs in the third game scheduled for the evening’s program. All games scheduled for tonight are in the A league. They find the Chi Psi team tangling with Zeta hall, Phi Gamma Delta playing the Comets, and Sigma Alpha Mu meeting Delta Upsilon.

Mauling Managers Drubbed in Classic By Terrible Tra iners Score, 12 to 7, as Men of Colonel Hayward Dominate; O'Brien, Donovan Referees for Vast Multitude of Customers By GEORGE PASERO While 299,899 fans raiseu a tre mendous din equal to that created in the crash of Wall Street, the Terrible Trainers scattered bits of Manager equipment all over the lower practice field Sunday in a game that echoed over the country from Maine to Coos bay, winning 12-7. While no blood was lost, rumor has it that there are still some bits of managers within a vicinity of 10 miles of “Trainer's Field.” All-Something Anyway The crowd that all but overflow ed the two benches that were brought on the field watched such “all-Americans” as Hub Cap Hub bard Kuokka; Jim “Bring ’em II vf; UJiTA VJSAK ACAtfeKlAj, , A>lP A SfOC^G SCrt&PULfe.

Buat what 299,898 fans still want to know is what part Dennis O’Brien Donovan, the referee, play ed in the struggle. Donovan called a total of 499 penalties (and almost 400 were on the managers) in between his other duties of calling signals for the managers and scouting weaknesses for the trainers. Officer to Buck A ninety-yard pass from rubber armed Officer to “Catch Every thing” Buck brought the first Trainer score. A moment later the Rubbergorkies crossed the goal line again but Referee Donovan and Head Linesman Bentley called it back. Not to be outdone, the Mauling Managers, field-generaled by Mar lantes, called a surprise play that shook Smith loose for a touch down pass. An offside play gave the Managers the extra point and a lead at this point. A moment later Varoff entered the game for Varoff and the the fireworks began, Varoff’s invisible pass to Speedboy Lloyd being good for a touchdown which was nullified by offsides. Squeak Lloyd came back on the seventh down to tear around left end and finally plunk the ball in back of the goal posts for the win ning touchdown. Gabby Makes Excuse Gabby Leo Marlantes, far from licked, blamed it on the crowd. “They was makin’ so much noise we couldn’t head de signals.” And Referee Donovan vociferat ed thusly: “It was a clean game, cleanest I've ever officiated. I only GUEST COLUMN By JAMES WINCHESTER New York Sports Writer and Radio Commentator Editor's Note: Mr. VVinehester, who writes this feature, was a for mer sports editor of the New York World Telegraph, and at present does feature work in the East, Having covered the Olympic games he is interested in track artists, and on his present trip to the coast found time to visit the Oregon campus for an interview with Pole vaulter George Varoff. His second and final column will come tomor row. Writing a guest column while on a vacation is something like a postman taking a hike on his day off but to quote the catch line of "Cafe Mettopole"—hold on to your hat, Henry, here we go again. If you can stand it I am sure there won’t be a breakdown on this end. This being football season the sports pages are naturally filled each day with stories of outstand i ing courage and' stamina displayed by galloping halfbacks or thun dering linesmen on the nation’s gridirons. Football is a sport that requires plenty of fight and cour age and spirit. But other sports, less publicized, have the same requisites, and in a great many years of following athletic events it Remained for a University of Oregon boy to dis play, to us, the most courage, ! “guts” if you will, of any athlete ever seen in action. He wasn’t a football player. He was and is a track map. His name is George Varoff. It Mils 3 o’clock of a Saturday night, last February, deep in the cavernous depths beneath the seats of the Boston (Harden. Outside, the snow was piled deep around the building and an icy wind was howling down from the White mountains. From a worried meet official we had heard that Varoff, suffering j from a leg injury, would not be called 499 penalties.

The plentiful Golden Bears of the University of California turned the full force of their heralded might on their fourth conference opponent of the current season, and for the fourth time left the field, triumphant and confident of their power. Bruins Claw Pay-Dirt This time it was their “little brothers,” the UCLA Bruins, who felt the claws of the big bear and who joined Oregon State, Washing ton State, and Southern California in the ranks of the vanquished by a 27-14 score. Bill Spaulding's Uclans were beaten, but managed to score more points against California than all other opponents combined. (Please turn to page four) abUi to compete. I was out to in vestigate tor myself. Stretched out on a rubbing table In one of the dressing rooms I found him. He was alone but on his face was written a grimace of pain. “Are you going to jump to night?” 1 asked him. The lithe, blond kid took a long time to answer but when he did it was not to say “yes” or “no.” It was to roll from the table, pick up his pole and start for the sawdust covered pit in the midst of the circular arena above. As he started up the ramp his pole dragged and he limped with his right leg. Then and there the sembled sports writers would'not have given you a plugged nickle for the chances of George Varoff. As the meet got under way with the splinters occupying the spot light on the track, the pole vault era began their preliminary warm ing up activities.

The bar was started at 1‘i feet and Meadows, Hefton, Oye ami company went over with case. Varoff remained in his sweat clothes, still inactive. At thirteen feet he was still “sitting it out” and in the press box sports writers were dictating to tlicir telegraph operators flash es that Varoff, hampered by an in jured leg, would not compete at his specialty. As the bar was moved to thirteen-six, five would have got you twenty from the as sembled bookies, that Oye would take the blue ribbon.

Announcement of the definite date was made yesterday by Paul , Washke, intramural sports direc tor. The squads which have been turning out under the supervision j of Russ Cutler and Sam McGaug hey are reported to be the largest in the history of the run. The Bill Hayward trophy is at present held by the SAEs who will exert every effort to keep the sil verware on their mantle, by the ATOs, who have been reported as requiring all their pledges to turn out for the event, and the Yeomen, who are aided this year by Don Barker, last year’s turkey winner, are rated as favorites to take the crown and the 75 points toward the intramural championship. A win for the ATOs will give them a lead on the fall intramural calendar as they are now tied with the Phi Delts for first place with 174 points to their credit.
