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.
