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.

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.

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.

Hall Contingent
Intramural volleyball swung in
to its second week last night with
Kappa Sigma, Sigma hall, and Phi
Delta Theta being credited with
wins.
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.

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.”

Smith, and Slasher Daveys per
form.
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

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. And say that
was the largest crowd I’ve seen
since I was in South America and
reffed the tilt between the Brazil
Nuts and the Uruguway Ugoes on
the Argentine pampas.”

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

pan was there, Meadows of U.S.C.,
and other lesser known vaulters
from New England and the East.

As the practice jumps continued
Varoff remained on the sidelines,
inactive. 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

Annual Three - Mile
Race Is Scheduled
For November 23
With a plump Thanksgiving tur
key and team trophy offered by
Bill Hayward as their objective, a
large, field of intramural cross
country runners will get under way
on their annual three-mile grind on
' Tuesday, November 23.
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. The Yeo
men have failed to make much of
a showing so far this year but the
