DUCK
TRACKS
By ELBERT HAWKINS
Jimmy Phelan's Washington
Huskies needed hut two minutes oi
dazzling football, the kind that pul
California in the Rose Bowl, to im
press upon the minds of Oregon
rooters in Seattle Saturday that
maybe they were a little too hope
ful.
In that brief spaif of time, a
nimble - footed Washington lad
named Merle. Miller, left half, took
the pigskin on his own 26-yard
line on a reverse from Captain
Fritz Waskowitz, and behind su
perb bloeking by teammates scam
pered around left end for 71 yards
to the Oregon three. Spectacular
was the run, and impressive. It
showed how Washington recently
tied California.
Pleasant memories of Saturday’s
jaunt to Seattle the brilliant de
fensive work of Ted Gebhard who
dragged down Miller after his long
run by breaking through a pair of
Husky blockers. It wasn’t Geb
hardt's only flash, for he played
brilliant defensive ball to the end.
The efficient blocking and all
around play of Hank Nilson, Web
foot blocking back, who isn't heard
about much, but is a pillar in the
fcackfield, was alsp a treat.
Vernon Moore, center, and Bill
Foskett, tackle, stood out in the
line, but they were overshadowed
by Phelan’s hard-charging for
wards who opened nice holes for
Washington backs and protected
them on passes and punts. Jay
Graybcal’s brief little trip around
the Husky left end soon after he
entered the game gave Oregon’s
home folks a thrill.
* * *
llnlmppy memories — Oregon’s
lack of that inspired play which
brings tennis from behind, the kind
of ball they say Oregon State
failed to show against the Cougars
at Corvallis. The work of Full
back AI (’rover, and Ids hackfield
chums, Uliller and Waskowlt/., not
to speak of (Quarterback Chuck
Newton who clears the way, was
nothing short of impressive. The
work of Tackle Fred Markov,
Guard Steve Slivinski, and Center
Bud Frieksen wus also too much.
Sorrowful it was to watch Ore
gon hacks drop back to pass or
punt only to he pounced upon hy
half the Washington line. The sit
uation was ditto when little Jay
Grayheal took Waskowitz’s punts
—he was usually immediately sur
rounded by the enemy. One turf
field in the Northwest more torn
up than Oregon's at the season's
end was the greensward at Seattle.
It has obviously been used too
much, for before the Oregon game
it was severely mutilated by Wash
ington’s home tilts against Iowa,
Oregon State, Stanford, Idaho, and
UCI.A. Too many games for one
turf field, especially in wet weatli
* * i|«
One little memory of Saturday's
•sunny afternoon in the Washing
ton bowl was the ovation given the
Pendleton mite, Jay Grayheal when
he was led from the field, injured
in the fourth period.
Washington rooters, O r e g o n
rooters, and interested townspeople
gave the Jackrabblt a tribute such
as no Webfoot gridder in defeat
has received for some time. Nine
Huskies played their last game,
and some were cheered off the
field. No exit was as impressive
as Graybeal's.
Something was lacking in Wash
ington’s drive, despite the I t to 0
victory. Something shown by Phe
lan's boys in their Bose Bowl con
quest last year? Possibly it was
the lack of pressure, for they cer
tainly showed championship form
in that opening drive, it was a vic
tory over Oregon, something Seat
tle customers must have, so the
anti-Plielan campaign is rapidly
fading to mere whispers.
Now is the time to buy . . .

14-0 Win for Phelan's
Huskies Over Oregon
Halfback Merle Miller Scampers 71 Yards in
Thrilling Opening Minute; Counters Soon
After to Give Huskies Boost
Washington's Huskies, defending champs in the coast conference,
scored before the game was two minutes old, again in the last quarter,
and relied on their stone wall line to hold Oregon’s Webfoots, which
they did, as the Huskies won their final game of the season, 14 to 0.
On the first scrimmage play of the game, Halfback Merle Miller
took a reverse from Captain Fritz Washkowitz and went down to the

A brief meeting was held yes
, terday evening to organize the
'group, with only fifteen out of an
expected thirty or forty prospects
present.
No further meetings will be held
until Monday evening, Coach War
ren told those present, but all
freshmen wishing to turn out
should be present then at 7 o'clock
in McArthur court. Practice will

The Pi Beta Phis celebrated
Thanksgiving Monday night by
having a dinner with turkey and
all uie trimmings. Their house will
be closed over the holidays.
Gebhardt fought off two would-bc
blockers to down him after running
71 yards.
Miller went off right tackle twr
plays later to score. A1 Cruver’f
successful conversion was nullified
when an offside was called on the
Huskies.
Cruver Does It
In the last quarter it was Cruver
who did the work in bringing the
ball into scoring position. Wash
ington received the ball on their
own 47 after an exchange of punts.
Two plays later Cruver went over
right tackle for 24 yards placing
the ball on the 24-yard line.
Washkowitz bumped his head at
center, and then lateraled to Cru
ver on the next play for a. gain to
the Oregon five. A1 packed the ball
for three yards on two plays, and
then Miller went through left
guard for the other Husky score.
Webfoots Get Chance
Oregon's best chance to tally
came at the end of the second
period. Graybeal went around left
end for 22 yards, Dale Lasselle lost
13, and Jay flipped a pass to John
Yerby for 24 yards. Graybeal
passed successfully again, this time
to Bob Smith for a first down on
the Washington 37. Here the at
tack failed as the Husky defense
tightened.
The only department of the game
in which the Webfoots excelled was
in punting, with Gebhardt and Vic
Reginato averaging 40 yards.
Coach Prink Callison gave his
men their usual Monday rest, while
scheduling the season’s last home
practices for Tuesday and Wednes
day with the team leaving for San
Diego Wednesday.
The squad came through the
game with only minor injuries. All
should be in shape for the San
Diego Marines game which is
scheduled for Saturday.

Merle Peters hasn't played much

But in spite of his potential pos
sibilities, the Portland boy who
rated all-city tackle while playing
for Krie Waldorf at Jefferson high,
has essayed a role similar to that
of the baseball pitcher who is con
tinuously \yarming up to relieve
his faltering teammate who is
having more than a little trouble
out there on the slab.
It's been the lot of this 20-year
old gent, to watch the game from
the sidelines, and when his team
matsmates begin to show a sign
of wear and tear, warm up and
prepare the rescue.
Mr. Peters adds a little light to
the reason why Stub Allison wasn't
a bit hesitant to playing on the
Multnomah stadium field. He
stands by the tanbark and sand
grid of the stadium as one of the
fastest fields he has played on
"When it s dry it's really a fast
field, but when it's muddy well,
that's different." Peters said.
But to come back to Peters and
his "bull-pen" duty, it rarely hap
pens that a good "relief ehuck

doing "one-inning" stretches . . .
and Merle Peters has one year of
competition left after 1P37.

Issued by Hobby
First Games Will Be
Here on Weekend
Of Dad's Day
Howard Hobson, coach of the
Oregon varsity basketball squad,
yesterday announced the complete
schedule of pre-season games.
Games this year will be played
in Kugene, Portland, Astoria, and
Salem, with the first competition
here on the weekend of “Dad's
Day," December 3 and 4.
Drill on Free Throws
Coach Hobson yesterday sent
the team through a stiff practice
session in preparation for these
games. One of the noticeable
faults of last year's team, that of
missing free throws, was given
much drill, and several members
of the team showed marked ability
to sink the "gift tosses ”

from the feature card announced
last week.
Have Changes
When the first curtain goes up
this afternoon, the original cast 1
will still take part but in different
roles. Director Walt Wood brought
the changes about in order to more
evenly match the wrestlers.
Williams and Ryan both weigh
around the 200-mark, but “What

who romped through intramural
competition with the greatest of

Saturday must have thought
that the Seattle school was be

The reason was cigars with

But no! Passing around the

News! Gammon
Still Plays For
Prink, Says AF
Headman Prink Callison will
probably be surprised to learn
that there is a lad named Gam

backfield against this year.
According to an account of
the Oregon-California game pub
lished in the New York Herald
Tribune, Gammon was credited
with carrying the ball past mid
field for the Ducks.
Part of the account follows:
Neither team could gain and
the wet ball was booted fre

YVebfoots into Bear territory
when he swept five yards past
midfield. Oregon failed to gain
and punted out of bounds on

Stub Allison's California Bears were advised today that they had
been unanimously selected to represent the West in the New Year s
day contest at Pasadena.
The official announcement came as a climax to the Bears unde
feated season which ended with Saturday's 13 to 0 victory over Stan
ford. California’s record includes victories over UCLA, Stanford,
USC, Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington State, and one tie, a
scoreless stalemate with Washington.
who the Bears would choose as
their opponent in the Rose Bowl
game, with Pittsburgh, Fordham,
Alabama, and Dartmouth among
those mentioned for the honor.
Team Wants Pitt
Some light was shed on the sit
uation yesterday when Captain
Bob Herwig announced that the
team members had selected Pitts
burgh as the team they would like
to meet.
Stanford gave the Bears little
more competition than the rest of
the conference in Saturday’s game,
with Bottari, Chapman, and com
pany clinching the game with a
two touchdown splurge in the first
half. Some 89,000 fans witnessed
the contest.
Orangemen Beaten
A fighting, courageous band of
Washington State Cougars knocked
the bottom out of Oregon State's
hopes of winding up in second
place when they outplayed and
outfought the Beavers to win by
a 7 to 0 count. The Orangemen i
were able to tally but one first I
down in the whole contest, and
that one came in the closing min
utes of the game when a pass net
ted 12 yards. Carl Littlefield gave
one of the year’s best performanc
es as he led his team to the mud
dy victory.
Jimmy Phelan’s Washington
Huskies, off to a flying start when
Merle Miller raced 71 yards on the
first play of the game, maintained
the pace of their last two games
to defeat the Oregon Webtfoots by
a 14 to 0 score. This advanced the
Huskies to third place in the stand
ings. back of the second place Stan
ford Indians.
