DUCK
TRACKS
By ELBERT HAWKINS
Fame anil fortune in the person
of a nice barnstorming tour to the
East next season may await Coach
Howard Hobson and his Lemon
Yellow basketeers. That is, it may
if all (joes well this winter.
On paper, the end of last season
found Oregon holding over mate
rial second to probably only Wash
ington State’s champions in the
northern division. With the ex
ception of Johnny Lewis, Ken Pur
dy, and Hill Courtney, who wound
up three years of eligibility, Hobby
has every man back.
Frankly, it looks like they’ll be
stronger, for a bevy of outstand
ing sophomores and transfers are
on hand to bolster the squad
strength. Monday afternoon, Coach
Hobson met his varsity warriors
for the first time, and from now
on will work them steady.
* * *
Exactly a month from now, De
cember 3 and 4, we’ll trot to the
Igloo to watch the Webfoots ca
vort in initial competition. Mult
nomah club, and the Portland uni
versity Pilots form the opposition.
Northern division action is sched
uled for a ringing start on Janu
ary 7 and 8, when Oregon plays
host to the champion Washington
Staters.
Mentor Hobson found pre-season
barnstorming none too practical
last fall, and consequently, the
Ducks probably won’t make an
other Christmas vacation trip into
California. They did it last De
cember, playing practically every
night, and found the pace killing.
Professional Chuck Taylor, the
touring hoop wizard, said that all
Oregon would need to get that
eastern trip would be a first-class
reputation. So all Hobby and his
Ducks need to do is cop tbe coast
title, or possibly finish a strong
second in the northern division
pennant chase a task which is
very possible for the boys.
Seven lettermen grace Oregon's
present hoop squad, besides other
available talent. Have Silver and
Ray Jewel (seniors), and Slim
W'intermute, Wally Johansen, Hob
by Anet, and Huddle Gale (jun
iors), comprise the list. Ford 7*tul
len and Gale Smith, the two base
hull infielders, who were reserves
last winter, are also on hand.
Boh Hardy, who transferred
from Southern Oregon Normal
with a high scoring average, and
Floyd Klliot, sophomore transfer,
from Long Iteach junior college,
are a pair of lively looking candi
dates. Then, too, there’s an out
standing array of sophomores led
by Ted Sarpolu, the Astoria all
stater, John Dick, Matt I'avalun
as, and others.
What did Oregon do last win
ter'.’ Briefly this. For one ac
complishment they bout Oregon
State four times in a row, and fin
ished in a three-wu.\ tic for first in
the northern division race. They
lost to \\ s<' in the play-off, which
didn't in the least deter from a

Triple Threater Feared
In Game Next Saturday
Coach Prink Callison Drills Team on Halting
Babe Hollingbery's Cougar Aerial Work;
Several Backfield Combinations Used
That Coach Prink Callison fears Eddie Bayne's pitchin’ arm,
was proven conclusively last night when Coach Callison had Steve
Anderson throwing passes at the varsity pass defense for the
most part of the practice session.
Eddie’s smiling face is not a new one to Duck fans, who saw
him capably substitute for all-American Ed Goddard here last year
in Oregon's homecoming game.

Spencer Carlson, Oregon alum

in Baltimore, according to a letter
he wrote Dr. Howard R. Taylor,
head of the psychology department
recently. Previously he had been
a graduate assistant at the Univer
sity of Minnesota.
head of the Cougar offensive. He
runs, passes, punts, and is the ever
dangerous safety man on defense.
His long passes are especially
feared by Callison, who spent
more than the usual amount of
time on this phase of the Cougar
offense.
In the first defensive backfield
were Jay Graybeal, safety; Ted
Gebhardt and Paul Rowe, half
backs; and Hank Nilsen and Den
ny Brcaid, backing up the line.
Switches Hacks
In the other backfield Steve An
derson replaced Graybeal, Arleigh
Bentley went in for Paul Rowe,
Bob Smith subbed for Ted Geb
hardt, while Dennis O'Brien Dono
van and Vern Moore replaced
Breaid and Nilsen.
Ronnie Husk and Joe Huston
held down the guard positions
with Bill Estes and Bill Foskett
at the tackles. The ends were on
the squad throwing passes with re
serves from other positions filling
in for the practice.
Coach Callison announced yes
i terday that neither Dale Lasselle
nor Captain Tony Amato would
start Saturday's game although
both would probably see action.

Intramural Harrier
Meet Moved Ahead;
Will Be Held Nov. 18
Switch Is Negotiated to Allow Duck Runners
Sufficient Time to Rest for Invasion of
Portland in Annual Hill Meet
The intramural cross country contest previously scheduled for
November 23 is to be held Thursday afternoon November 18 at 4
'o'clock in order that the varsity harriers chosen from this group will
have sufficient time to recuperate for their invasion of Portland where
they are to run the day before Thanksgiving, according to Russ Cutler
who is in charge of the donut contest.
Although the alteration of the schedule will decrease the time for

Seven Beavers
Crippled From
Stanford Battle
Oregon State to Meet
Willamette Eleven
This Saturday
OREGON STATE COLEGE,
Corvallis, Nov. 3.—Seven regulars
were on the hospital list when Ore
gon State's football squad started
preparation this week for its an
nual tussle with Willamette, to be
played here on Bell field, Saturday
afternoon.
Most important casualty is Joe
Gray, generally considered No. 1
halfback on the Pacific coast. Gray
suffered a "pulled muscle” in his
right leg after he had played only
a short time in last Saturday's
Stanford game. He will be out of
play for at least two weeks.
Cripples Listed
Other cripples are Frank Nihil
and Leon Sterling, tackles; Joe
Wendlick and Don Coons, ends;
Prescott Hutchins, right guard,
and Elmer Kolberg, fullback.
Sterling has a knee injury and
the others have shoulder injuries.
No practice was held Monday
and when work resumed the next
day Coach Stiner was visibly puz
ded over just where he would start
Dunked Beaver
Seeks Missing
Clothes, Watch
Final reverbrations of the
Beaver invasion of the Univer
sity campus were sounding yes
terday as Lee Arrington Wells,
Jr,, a dunked Delta Tail Delta
from Corvallis, petitioned Dean
Karl for the return of a 17-jewel
Waltham wrist watch, a blue
sweater (with a Delt pin in the
topmost button holei and black
wool jacket. The articles were
discarded at the Anchorage as
the owner was plunged into the
race on the now historic Monday
of October -5.
A fraternity brother of the un
fortunate OSO man sought re
union with a rectangular gold
Hamilton watch, with gold wrist
band.
The dean of men assured the
mourning Beaver that every ef
fort is being made to collect and
return scattered personal effects
of the invaders.
wun m2 regulations wnicn require
all men to work out nine times,
three of which must be on the
course.
Efficient System
Under the somewhat complicat
ed but efficient scoring system
which is to be used, the organiza
tion having the largest number of
entrants will have the greatest op
portunity of garnering house
points.
The team placing first man will
be awarded 75 entrance points
while all remaining teams who
have three men finish under 21
minutes will be given 30 points.
The house points w'hich pertain
only to determining the number of
points toward the cup will be
awarded consecutively.
Winners Helps Plenty
For example the first place win
ner is to be given 70 points, which
is equal to the total number of en
trants, the second man to finish
will be awarded 69 points, the third
68 and so on down to the last man.
In addition there will be 45
points to be divided among the
teams proportionately in accord
ance with their winners.
The formula for finding the
number of points which are to go
toward the intramural cup is: the
number of entrance points 175 to
the team placing the first man, 30
to any other team) plus; the total
number of house points divided by
the greatest number of house
points acquired by any one team;
times 45 (the points to be divided).
the task of moulding' a first-string
lineup for the Willamette game.
Should lie Even
Willamette again has one of the I
strongest small-school teams on
the Pacific coast. The Bearcats al
ways give Oregon State a whale
of a battle and with so many Or
ange regulars on the sidelines this
year's game should be a very even
affair.
Present alternates for Oregon
State's injured men are John Haek
enbruck and Warren Gillis, tackles;
Vernon Wedin and Dick Suther
land. ends; John Watts, right
guard; Ben Ell. fullback, and John
Alexander, left halfback.

For EON Fray
Pessimistic Mentor
Girds Men Through
Third Successive
Arc Light Work
Battling on into darkness for the
third successive night, and continu
ing under the Hayward field lights,
“Honest John" Warren’s Ducklings
wound up their warmup for the
EONS argument with a long local
scrimmage yesterday.
The frosh grid mentor continued
to drive the boys on blocking and
tackling. They have shown im
provement along these lines, but
still lack plenty of polish.
With last night marking the
third straight night of scrimmage
in the past week, the Ducklings
are raising so much sweat it looks
like the second Johnstown flood
on the practice field.
EONS Squad Tough
| Eastern Oregon Normal has the
strongest backfield combination in
their history with a tough forward
aggregation to complete the pic
ture. The EONS have an unblem
ished record for the 1937 grid sea
son with only one split decision,
a 19-19 deadlock with Lewiston
Normal, which makes them no
cinch in any dopesters language.
John “Don't Call Me Sunny”
Warren refuses to hand down an
advance decision, but terms it an
other close fracas with the laurel
going to the eleven that cops the
breaks.
Ducklings Favored
Oregon’s yearlings, out to avenge
last week's trouncing at the paws
of the Babes and preserve their
otherwise unmarred record, are the
gridmen to put your ironmen on
according to the black-derbied
gentlemen.
The probable starting backfield
for the frosh will include two for
mer Portland all-stars, Leonard
Isberg, Benson, at left half, and
Chet Haliski, Roosevelt, at quar
ter. Don Mabee, McMinnville, will
answer the summons at right half,
while Marshall Stenstrom from the
Seattle trio will plank his cleats in
the fullback berth.
In the front rank, the battle
scarred veterans will probably per
form their regular duties. This
lineup will be Bob Hendershott,
left end; Bob Creager, left tackle;
Worthy Blaisdell, left guard; A1
Saniuelson, center; Barney Reams,
right guard; Jim Stuart, right
tackle; Norm Conaway, right end.
Dean Jewell Speaks
To Montana Group
Dean J. R Jewell of the Univer
sity school of education last week
spoke at the Montana State Teach
ers' association, while making con
tacts with graduate students in
education there.
The University of Montana, said
Dean Jewell, offers only a master’s
degree in education. For this rea
son Montana people regard the
University of Oregon as a regional
institution, and every year there
has been at least one graduate stu
dent from Montana studying at
Oregon.

Six A Volleyball
Teams Advance
In Intramural
Betas, SAEs, Phi PsL
SPEs, Sigma Chis,
Theta Chis Win
Six teams chalked up victories
in volleyball last night as the A
league finished its schedule for the
week. B league teams will occupy
the spotlight starting tomorrow
night.
The SAEs and the Beta Theta
Pi sextet looked the most impres
sive in last night’s encounters. The
Beta outfit showed class and team
work to spare as they cleaned a
sadly outclassed team of Pi Kaps
by a 15-4, 15-2 score. SAE found
the Omega hall team much to
their liking meanwhile, and ran
up a 15-1, 15-3 score. Sigma Chi
showed little less class in running
up a 15-4, 15-6 score over the Can
ard club.
Theta Chis Bounce Back
Theta Chi, rebounding from their
trouncing last week at the hands
of the Phi Sigs, dropped the first
game of their series with Sherry
hall 15-8, before cinching the match
by a 15-9, 15-10 score.
Phi Psi continued their winning
ways by taking a two out of three
game match from Gamma hall.
Loose playing by the Gamma team
contributed to the defeat. The j
scores were 15-7, 8-15, and 15-111
for the Phi Psis.
SPEs Win
The SPEs chalked up their sec- I
ond victory in as many games as
they won the closest game of the
day from a hard fighting band of
j ATOs. The teams split the first j
two games by a 15-11 score, with
the SPEs winning out in the third
game, 15 to 13.
B league games scheduled for
tomorrow night are: Gamma hall
vs. Chi Psi, and Phi Gamma Delta
vs. Omega hall at 4 o’clock; SPE
vs. Sigma Alpha Mu, and Sherry
Ross hall vs. Delta Tau Delta at
4:40; Comets vs. Phi Psi, and Beta
Theta Pi vs. Sigma Chi at 5:20.
Hobson Stresses
Fundamentals In
Casaba Session
Quartet of Hoopsters
Clinch Temporary
Berths on Squad
Emphasizing the importance of
fundamentals in basketball, Coach
Howard Hobson again yesterday
devoted most of the varsity bas
ketball practice to dribbling, stop
ping and .starting, and passing and
guarding.
Several prospects have shown
enough ability in practices to be
given, at least temporarily, a place
on the squad. These players are
John Die, Ted Sarpola, Bob Hardy,
and Matt Pavalunas. These four
players, and the keight lettermen
and reserves of last year make up
all but three positions on the reg
ular squad.
However, Coach Hobson told the
players that no position on the
team was absolutely certain, and
if prospects show up better, they
will naturally be given preference.
Among the likely looking play
ers who are expected to fill the
other three positions and to give
those already on the squad a good
run are Jake Fisher, Stan Short,
Jimmy Jones, “Wimpy” Quinn.
Floyd Elliot. Paul Jackson, and
Burton Boroughs.
Paddle artists entered in the all
;ampus ping pong tournament
swung into the third round this
week with a few advancing into
the quarter finals by virtue of
some timely defaults.
Three of last year’s champions
have survived early round play in
the table tennis tourney which in
cluded some upsets and mistakes.
Kupfer Triumphs
Upon learning that he had been
defeated in the second round by
default, Wally Kupfer, winter term
singles champ, contacted Harold
P’aunt and proceeded to adminis
ter a 21-10, 21-18 drubbing to the
gentleman. The major upset of
the tourney came when Eddie
Hearn defeated Bob Street.
Pete Klonoff and Dick Sanville
entered the quarter finals, Klonoff
defeating Karl Mann and Sanville
advancing via the gift route when
Glen Eaton defaulted.
Winners in the second round
were ChuckErwin. Bob Horning,
W. Ruscman, Eddie Hearn, Wally
Kupfer, Bill Rasmussen, Roland
Rodman, John Dwyer, Bill McKen
na, Cliff Smith, and Les Weschkul.
Malcom Waltman and Ed Stanton
have yet to complete their match.
