DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Says Willamette’s Howard Maple, “The nation’s best football players come from In and around Chicago, Illinois.” Say a lot of northwest football fans, “You must be right.” For Coach Jimmy Phe lan at Washington has turned out consistent winners, and exactly seven of his boys came from Chi cago. Don’t forget too what Washing ton’s freshman team with an all Chicago hackficid did to John War ren’s Ducklings a few weeks ago in Portland. They only beat John's lads by four touchdowns for the worst Duckling defeat in several seasons. The all-Chicago haekfield led Chuck Mucha’s Babes through an undefeated season to the myth ical northwest yearling title. Of course, Chicago boys aren’t the whole Washington team this season, not by any stretch of the imagination. Fullback Al Cruver, for instance, is a Seattle boy. And Quarterback Chuck Newton is only from Illinois, while Halfback Jim my Johnson hails from Caldwell, Idaho. * * * Captain Fritz Wascowitz, half back, and Vic Markov, tackle, are a pair of first stringers who are good enough to make a difference, and they hail from Lindblom high in Chicago. Other Chicago boys are Henry Wise, Herb Wall, and Frank Peters, ends. Steve Slivinski, and the Zemeck brothers (Alex and Walt), are also from the same place. Captain Wascowitz is one of these queer stars who never find themselves until late. He played only two games of high school foot ball, and for two seasons with the Huskies was crowded out of the limelight by those glamorous touchdown twins, Jimmy Cain and Byron Haines. Once lacking in self-confidence, he’s now a cool, dangerous triple-threat, and a lead er among his teammates. Consid ered the best passer Washington has had in years, Fritz also punts for an average of well over 40 yards. Fellow Webfoots who watch Sat urday's tilt in Seattle should also eye tackle Vic Markov. He’s to Washington what Del Bjork was to Oregon last fall. Vic is also inter collegiate wrestling champion of the northwest, and has earned two track letters in the weight events besides. Oregon could use him. * * * Washington has no all-coast guards, so maybe Joe Huston, Ore gon's stellar place-kicker, and stellar lineman, will have a chance to blossom. Joe has kicked six out of six for the season, and got an all-American card of merit partly on the strength of a little hoot which defeated Stanford, 7 to (i. “Gloomy Gus” Steve Slivinski, an other Chicago boy, is Washington's best guard.

As a Lafayette, Indiana school-hoy he became interested in football as a hero-worshipper of Chelan, who then was head man at Purdue. Cuselato is back!

Webfoots Eye Saturday’s Washington Clash Intramural Harriers Will Match Power in Fourth Annual Marathon Today Seventy-six Men Will Embark on Three-Mile Jog at 4 o'Clock on Hayward Field; First Event Is Won by McGaughey By LLOYD BEGGS Athletic activities on the campus today will find the spotlight focussed on the intramural harrier meet when approximately 76 run ners embark on the three-mile trek at 4 o'clock at Hayward field. Interest in this event has greatly increased since its initiation at Oregon three years ago. As the prestige of the winning organization will be stimulated somewhat, and not forgetting the presentation of Kappas, Orides Battle Today In Coed Volleyball Orides Tip Hendricks Wednesday, 31-24 In Semi Finals By KVA ERLANDSON With the championship at stake, Kappa Kappa Gamma will defend her title to Orides in women’s in tramural volleyball this afternoon. Kach side has been noted through out the tournament for excellent teamwork and fast, steady playing. The game this afternoon cli maxes the volleyball season, and promises to be a corker from every respect. Anyone wishing to exer cise his vcoal chords in the root ers’ section will be appreciated. Orides won their game with Hen dricks hall Wednesday afternoon by a score of 31-24. It was a good, steady game with commendable teamwork on both sides. The teams were very evenly matched with the losing side leading 14-12 at the hall'. Elizabeth Seely and Ruth Russell were the star players for Orides, Miss Seely piling up sev eral winning points in the second half with her excellent serving, Dorothy Guthrie and Jean Mont gomery were the outstanding play ers for Hendricks; Frances Tomlin son played a good, hard game until she sprained her ankle in the sec ond half. Lineup for Orides: Lewis, Davis, Seely, Russell, McCracken, D. Wodaege, Giddings, B. Wodaege. Hendricks: Crane, Guthrie, Mont a luraey ior me nrsi place mail, a closely contested race is expect ed. Sam Wins First The initial donut event was dom inated by Sam McGaughey, last year’s track captain and present harrier coach. The second contest saw Harold Draper capture the laurels while Don Barker enjoyed a turkey dinner last Thanksgiv ing primarily because of his per formance on the cross country course. Of this trio two are eligible to represent an organization in in tramural competition, but Draper suffered an injured leg last sum mer and it is reported that he will not participate in today’s classic. It remains to be seen whether or not Barker Is capable of success fully defending his last year's po sition against an invasion by the latest crop of harrier hopefuls. Close Race Expected There are a number of promis ing distance men being developed this year, and when the qualifica tions of such potentials as Storli, Neese, Mackin, Mitchel, Davidson and “Pierce Arrow” Pasero are taken into consideration and that Bill Hayward is to select his five man varsity team from today’s winners, it doesn't seem feasible that Barker will enjoy a very ex tensive lead when the boys come chugging into the finish. A number of entrants have had previous experience either in high school, as members of the frosh track team, or while attending an other college and the starters in general seem to be in comparative ly good physical condition although Pasero, one of the favorites is bothered with an injured leg. Craw ford Lyle will be included in the starting group, but is ineligible in donut competition. Entrants were published yesterday. gomery, Tomlinson, Dolan, Buzan, Kempston, Bellows, Fitch, Benson, Arnold, Paske. Enthusiastic Crowd Watches UO Boxers By GEOKGE PAKERO A crowd of boxing fans that neared the hundred mark showed up at the men’s gym yesterday afternoon to watch the University of Ore gon boxers trade jabs in intersquad competition and remained to applaud the show put on by six of the Mitt and Mat club’s top-notch leather pushers. Arranged to give fans and club officials a chance to see what the VVI UUKH UttUKTS COUlil (1() UIllUM fire, the matches turned out to be a preview of the Oregon five-inan team that will climb through the ropes of the Rika’ club ling Novem ber 24 to face the fire of “home town” scrappers. Five Ruin Spots The live glove tossers who earn ed spots on next week's card be cause of their showing last night are Smokey Whitfield, Shelby Golden, Gale Kerris, Frank Nicker son, and Pete Thorne. Whitfield, lithe negro middle weight who is rated as tops in his class, had his hands full in a wild, slugging match with rugged Gale Kerris to the delight of the ring aiders. Both boys dealt out con siderable punishment and absorbed a good deal more in the only three round tussle of the exhibition. *<*««■■■ ■ 1 11 IVtl Dl i MB! ■ ■ llllill llllll llllill III! . ... ■liilllWIII«lli!IBillilWIII«llillHillUI!l!nil|inil!i| II II UNIVERSITY of OREGON’S Dads’ Day It is not too early to reserve lus room now.

Although Nickerson was the aggressor most of the way and gained a clear edge through solid punching, Dudley finished strong. The second bout brought togeth er Shelby Golden, powerful and clever colored boy, and the afore mentioned "Handsome Peter" Thorne. Golden, crouching and box ing smoothly, was all around Thorne in the first round, but in the last stanza it was Thorne who was doing most of the damage. Both boys weighed in at the Im pound mark.

Frosh Will Furnish Varsity With Wealth Of Football Metarial Hankinson, Stenstrom, Mabee, Conaway Coming Up From Warren's Ducklings Are Expected Press Lettermen in 1938 By BOB JORDAN With the 1937 frosh football season having passed its climax, at tention is now paid to individual Ducklings who will be the material for future Oregon varsities. In the line “Honest John” Warren has developed a brilliant an.I powerful aggregation of gridiron stalwarts. Many of them may weil write their monickers on the future pages of Pacific coast warfare. Especially outstanding has been the backfield department in which several men have shone through out the season. Ilankinson Tallies Many Duke Hankinson, ex-Seattle all star, leads the point grabbers with 22 tallies. This toe dancing half back sidestepped his way across opponents goal lines throughout the year. Adding to his running abilities, Hankinson's twinkling toe was responsible for four of the Ducklings' seven successful con versions. In the scoring field, Don Mabee, McMinnville’s flashing right half led Duke a close chase with 18 markers. Mabee was one of the backfield dependables playing a good all-around game. Gordon, "Local Boy Makes Good” Bishop, reserve fullback, slipped into pay dirt on two journeys. Ilaliski Holds ’Em Topping the lads in the defens ive arm of the science, Quarterback Chest Haliski, all-star from the City of Roses, should prove a bul wark of defense on the super-var sity in the coming years. Aiding Haliski on the defense as well as striking out on his own to perform two jigs around oppon ents' goal posts, Marshall Sten strom, another Seattle importation, may be counted on to repeat his performances against Coast elev ens. Settling his 192-pound frame into the fullback berth at the be ginning of the schedule, Stenstrom continued to occupy it regularly. Outstanding toeman among the Duckling aggregation was Del Dungey of Scappoose. Completing the Seattle trio, Bill Hawke, brilliant n|jht half, shared their excelli'Htr-yperformance on yearling battlefields. Leonard Is bcng, Benson all-star, turned in a good record at left half. Warren used a veteran front rank complete in most mix-ups. Norm Conaway, LaGrande, and Bob Hendershott, Bend, held down the end spots. Speedy, a good blocker, and pass-snarer, Conaway was one of the best linemen on the Duckling squad. Bob Creager, Kent, Washington, and Jim Stuart, Hermiston, slapped their hulks in the tackle holes. Wallace White, Marshfield, was a powerful, 200-pound reserve. Many Guards Swamped with good guard ma terial, Warren put the togs on Worthy Blaisdell, Pasadena, Cali fornia, and Barney Hearns, Hood River. Gordon Olson, city all-star from Jefferson high, would have performed more often had he not been handicapped by injuries. Other dependable guards were Lou Mason, St. Helens; Milford Smith. Myrtle Point; and A1 Taylor, Eu gene. One hundred ninety-four pounds of A1 Samuclson, Portland, took competent care of the pivot posi tion. ia ^ ^ cj LXJ LTJ a in 1^1 UJ cj LU uj lj lu i^j lj lij LLJ liJ UU L!±i CiJ CJ C±| C1JIHJ CU CHJ Cil CHJ QU CU CHJ CU CiJ C£J DiJ Oil CHJ CU CJ CiJ CHJ Ci1 'd Are you a doubter? l!' you don’t think we are fast .

Chet Haliski, driving fullback from Roosevelt high in Portland, took over the role of A1 Cruver. Jimmy Phelan’s line cruncher. Chet Makes Gains The role was a disastrous one for the first few minutes of the scrim mage with Chet tearing off huge gains through the line. However, as soon as the varsity had seen the plays once, they started stopping them "cold.” Leonard Isberg, another former Portland boy, also did some of the frosh ball carrying, getting past the line of scrimmage for several nice gains. Frank Emmons, who made his initial game appearance Saturday, held down the fullback position. Jimmy Nicholson, Ted Gebhardt, and Hank Nilsen rounded out the backfield. Estes Still Injured At ends Coach Callison had Bud Robertson and Vic Reginato. With Bill Estes on the injured list, Ellroy Jensen took over his spot, while Bill Foskett took care of the other tackle position. Estes is the only Duck on the in jured list at this time. His knee injury, received in the California game, still prevents him from par ticipating in workouts. Ronnie Husk and Nello Giovanini were the guards, and Vernon Moore the center, during the scrimmage. Later Arleigh Bentley, Rod Speetzen, Chuck Bracher, and Don Kennedy were put into the varsity lineup. x Hoopsters Hold First Scrimmage With Reserves Regulars Outscore Subs in Ten Minute Fast Session Coach Howard Hobson yesterday sent the varsity basketball team through a fast, short scrimmage session, the first of the year. A ten-minute game between the regulars: Silver, Anet, Gale, Win termute, and Johansen, and a pick ed team of reserves, ended in a 29 to 17 victory for the regulars. Show Spirit Although generally outclassed, the “subs" showed much spirit and fight, and are expected to give the regulars stiff competition for places on the first team this year. Most of the players asked for more scrimmage, claiming not to | * A Man’s Heart Is I t in His Stomach” ! ! More truth than fiction is that old adage. To keep a man interested keep him well fed.

The winners in last night's play were Phi Sigma Kappa, Theta Chi, Sigma Nu, Gam ma hall. Phi Kappa Psi, and Alpha Tau Omega. Paced by their twin killers, Hen derson and Hitchcock, the Phi Sigs trounced Sherry Ross hall by a 15-3, 15-5 count to chalk up their third straight win.

Theta Chis Triumph A persistent band of Theta Chis played steady ball to defeat the Canard club by an identical score of 15-6 in two straight games. Bob Souza and Sam Kroschel led a rampaging team of Phi Psis to a decisive victory over the Pi Kaps. The Phi Psis started out strong, and became better as they went along to bowl their opponents over by a 15-2, 15-0 score. The Sigma Nu sextet scored a victory in the closest match of the night when they copped two straight from Omega hall. Sigma Nu took the first game handily, winning 15-7, but had to come from behind after trailing 10-2, to win the second encounter. aius win Ciasny Alpha Tau Omega took the mea sure of the SAEs in the other game on the evening's program, winning ■15-5 in the first game, and 15-6 in the second.
