DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS Oregon beat the San Diego Ma rines Saturday quite handily be fore 5,000 fans as per dope, yes. But out of that 24 to 7 victory, which was bruising, to say the least, came some unfortunate breaks. Of had news to Webfoot fans was announcement in Sunday’s pa pers that two of Brink’s boys were hurt seriously enough to be con fined to a Marine hospital. flimmy Nicholson, speedy Duck left half, who started the San Diego game, “incurred a broken shoulder” according to rather vague press reports. It of course, if true, would mean no more football this season for the fleet Salem boy, which won't help Oregon’s chances against) Arizona at Tucson (j'lis Saturday. Casualty number two for Ore gon was Denny Breaid, chubby pivotman, who “suffered contus ions of the head and spine.” Until more specific announcement is made concerning the two Oregon injuries, we’re going to take it all with a grain of salt and hope for the best. Hrcaid’s loss from the Arizona tilt would put added work on the shoulders of Vernon Moore, first string center, who has been aided greatly this season by “Irish Denny.” * * * Mark those injuries on the liability side of the ledger, and we’ll take up the other angle of Saturday's game. Outside of a lapse in the Oregon pass defense, which allowed 11 completions out if 19 attempts, and five in a row, the Lemon-Yellow boys had things completely under control. Three touchdowns were chalked up in the first half, and another score added in the third period before the hard fighting Marines were able to counter. A bouquet to Joe Huston, dy namic Oregon guard, who is begin ning to get the recognition he de serves. Joe is an all-coast guard now, having made the Oregon Journal’s annual coast conference eleven in selections announced Sat urday. He didn’t rate it just on the basis of six consecutive place-kick conversions either (Joe missed one Saturday), but for general all around blocking and defensive work. Tackle Bill Foskett rated third-team rating. Foskett, Huston, Vernon Moore, and Hank Nilsen, the Astoria hoy who leads the way to touchdowns at blocking quarterback, have been mentioned in numerous all-oppo nent selections. Huston and Moore rated second team choices of Babe Hollingbery's Washington State Cougars. Fandom in every nook amt cranny of (he United States is ask ing one big question. What school will be the. choice of California's coust ehainpoin Holden Bears for tin1 Idg New Year’s day Rose Bowl classier ? It looks like either Pittsburgh, Fordham, or Alabama will be the choice according to authorities. Any one of the trio might rate. Pittsburgh appears to he the popu lar choice of coast fans and Cali fornia players themselves (they want a tough game), hut the grapevine hints that officials who pick California's opponent think otherwise. Columnist Henry Me la-more a few weeks ago declared that Pittsburgh was definitely “out" as a Hose Bowl choice. In just four days, the basketball season, mixed with the final foot bal excitement, will la- upon us. Friday and Saturday nights, in fact, Coach Hobson's Wehfoots open their pre-season campaign with games against Portland Uni versity and Multnomah club.

Tlirpo TJanrlliallprc WinCampusTitles Corey Takes Singles Honors; Phi Delts Grab Doubles Three all-campus handball play ers were wearing their newly ac quired crowns this week as the annual tournament closed its fall term sessions. George Corey won the handball single,s championship by dropping his law school colleague, Norman Winslow, in two straight matches, 21-6, 21-9. Corey had little trouble with opponents throughout the tournament, and the scores of his match indicated that he was ap parently little perturbed by the fact that he was playing a cham pionship match with Winslow. Paul Jackson and Laddie Gale, Phi Dolt duct, annexed their first doubles championship by drubbing Joe Amato and Marino Innoceuti 21-4, 21-12. This year's tournament was the first completed on the greatly im proved courts in the new moil's gym, and a marked increase in the number of participants indi cated that handball is rapidly gam ing popularity on the campus. ' towards me end or tnc rrrst quar ter Jay .sifted through right tackle and eluded the rest of the San Die go team to go 46 yards for the opening touchdown. Fumble Raves Way Shortly after a Marine fumble was recovered on the home team's 14-yard line, paving the way for Jay’s second touchdown gallop, this time for 10 yards. Steve Anderson threw a 39-yard pass to Dale Lasselle which was good for the other second score. In the third quarter a Rach-led touchdown drive which was good for 59 yards was climaxed when Southpaw Bob Smith tossed a short pass to Anderson, completed in the end zone. Conversions Fail Anderson, Joe Huston, and Las selle all attempted conversions without success. Later in the third quarter the Marines also took to the air with Quarterback Johnny Callaham on the throwing end to Receivers Don Gibson and Ennis. The drive start ed on the Devil Dogs’ 37-yard line, ancf ended when Callaham com pleted a six-yard pass to Gibson. Ross Rountree converted. The Marines excelled the Ducks in both punting and passing, com pleting 11 out of 19 passes with 5 successive completions coming in their touchdown dr ive. It was thought that Denny i Breaid and Jimmy Nicholson wore seriously injured, but both were released from the Marine hospital yesterday. The Ducks will stay in San Di-1 | ego until Thursday when they will leave for Tucson where they will meet Arizona Saturday. Pass-Snatcher Joe Wendlick (above) last week closed a highly successful season at end for Oregon State. He was featured oil the end of several Joe Gray touchdown heaves.

Forty Hopefuls Answer John's FroshHoopCall Hoopmen Practice for First Time in Igloo Yesterday With 40 hopeful freshmen re porting for practice last night in ' McArthur court, prospects for an other successful year of Duckling basketball were at high tide. Coach Warren announced a dual purpose for the first practice, to get the squad organized and to drill on the fundamentals of bas ketball. Practices in duck walkin g, dribbling and running were given, and before the evening was half over, Coach Warren had the play ers gasping for breath. It was a very tired and disillusioned group of frosh that clowly made their way to the showers after the game. No practice is scheduled for to night to give the players a rest, however the "war" will continue Wednesday night at 7 o’clock, Coach Warren announced. Students are requested to aid any would-be frosh basketball players this week in the event that he is unable to climb the stairs to his classes.

GLASSW ARE Marines Lan d; Duck Air Raid Has 'em at Sea By VINCENT GATES The Marines landed Saturday, but Oregon soon put them to sea. The Leathernecks are sup-% posed to be sailors on land and soldiers on sea, but their anti aircraft defense was vulnerable. When they saw so many foot balls flying at them through the air they ducked. In China they would have stopped them. Right in the neck. Compulsory military training took a sudden drop. According to the radio broadcast the San Diego right tackle has played for , the Marines 22 years. He is expected to earn his nu merals this season. No one will know whether they mean years of experience or his age. The Marines did not find Duck as tasty a dish as turkey. The Duck was all right, but the stuffing was bad. Arizona next. The winner might get the cactus bowl. Just so the Oregonians don't suffer from terrain fever. * From the ups and downs of the football season.

Sweethearts Enter Finals Phi Delts, DUs and Phi Psis to Tangle Thursday; B Battles Slated Today By CHUCK VAN SCOYOC A league teams representing the Sigma Chis and SPEs captured league IV and V championships last night to assure themselves of a place in the tournament for the intramural crown which was scheduled to open Thursday after noon. The Sigma Chis emerged with the league IV title after a hotly contested battle with the Phi Sigs, finally downing the Scribes, 15-7, 15-13, while the Sig Eps coasted to a one-sided victory over a hap less Sigma Nu team, 15-3, 15-2, to win the league V crown. Uneven Number Due to the fact that this year there is an uneven number of leagues in the tournament, the win ners of each league will assemble today at the PE gym to determine which will draw the by for Thurs day's playoffs. Last year’s champs, the Phi Delts, who waded through all oppo sition to win the league I champ ionship, were generally conceded to repeat again this year, although the DUs and Phi Psis and yester day’s winners are expected to make the series a tight affair. One-Sided Contests Other final A league games play ed yesterday proved to be one sided and dull with little interest shown by either winners or losers. Sherry Koss wound up their sea son by defeating the luckless Can ard clubbers, 15-6, 15-1. Gamma hall drubbed the Pi Kaps, 15-2, 15-1. The ATOS defeated Omega hall, 15-7, 15-5 and the Betas wound up the afternoon’s activities by taking a gift-game from the Yeomen.

Rose covered the course in 23:03, just nine seconds over the record, while his teammate, Git chel, trailed him by only six sec onds. Idaho took the coveted first place team honors by finishing men in fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth places. The Vandals were followed closely by the Washing ton Huskies, and OSC placed im mediately behind the Ducks. Mon tana had only two runners entered, and as a result it was impossible for them to garner a team posi tion, which requires five finishers. The team composed of Storli, Lyel, Mackin, Davidson, and Bell were handled by trainer Lloyd and acting mentor Sam McGaughey. Preceding the event the partici pants were subjected to a heavy shower but it had cleared off by race time and according to Storli the course was in good condition for the contest. y——■■—■<—■— — ANNOUNCEMENT — POPE’S SUPER CREAM STORE OPENING Next door to Mayflower Featuring— -JO Flavors of lee Cream •Jumbo Frosted Malt, 10c Giant Creamy Milk Shakes, 10c -o •Special prices given Clubs and Parties —..—_,___„_jj eisiaiaMSjaiaisMiiijeifflafaiMSjaiaMSEJSFj Today’s Emerald IS made possible by the following advertisers Consequently they deserve your support!
