DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAYVKINS Never beaten by more than one touchdown on their home lot, is the record accumulated by Arizona university gridders under the re gime of Coach Ted Oliver. Today, in Tucson, an underdog University of Oregon eleven will attempt the almost impossible. We’ll be satis fied, however, with even the slight est margin of victory. Bronko Xmilanich, Woldcat left half, who will be flies in Duck soup today, was a flying terror on southern gridirons last fall. lie packed the leather for a total of 552 yards during the ’36 campaign, averaging 7.1 per try. Bronko had only on bad day this season. That was against the Oklahoma Aggies when he injured some muscles in one arm and consequently gained by 21 yards. And now back to basketball, the game you’ll be hearing about for the next three months. Game num ber two on Oregon’s pre-season is slated for tonight at the Igloo against Multnomah club. Be there. The Webfoot height advantage which was so obvious in last night's Pilot game won’t be so prominent in the Winged M fracas, for some of the visitors will top six feet. Bill O’Donnell, tallest man on the Port land team, was only six feet, while the Ducks averaged at least that figure. i[: * * Coach Hobson’s proposal of a nine-team hoop set-up for the whole Pacific CoaHt conference wasn’t acted upon this year, but it still carries weight and may be used some day. For this winter, Montana will be added to the Northern division, necessitating a 20-game schedule instead of the usual 16-slate. Incidentally, the addition of Montana to the league knocks the Oregonian's L. H. Gregory's four defeat tradition cock-eyed, much to the delight of coaches. Hobby’s idea of including the whole conference in a nine-club loop would eliminate the annual play-off between the northern and southern division champions. Teams he would include are Ore gon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Idaho, Califor nia, Southern California, Stanford, and UCLA. They would play a reg ular 16-game schedule, having not much more traveling than now. We wouldn’t get to see every California team each year, because the round-robin would call for only two games between each quintet, and traveling would be rotated by the year. In other words, Oregon and Stanford, for instance, would meet in Palo Alto one winter, and then move to Eugene the follow ing season. Hobby’s idea unques tionably has merit. This is absolutely, simply, and undeniably the final prognostica tion column of flic term. Why? For one reason, there is only one more Emerald (next week), and because football games—with the exception of Bowl games on New Year’s day—are practically used up. Oregon won’t be favored over Arizona, but a similar situation, the 7 to 6 win over Stanford, shows that it can be done. Allowing Grayhcal and his mates two touch downs we’ll be loyal and pick Ore gon in a tight, 18 to 12.

How ard Jones’ Trojans, led by •‘Am bling' Amhy” Schindler, will re cover from the Notre Dame shock to win, I? to 7. Anything can happen in the Gon zaga-Loyola engagement.

Oregon plays Multnomah club tonight at 8 o’clock. Laddie Gale, lanky Oakridge flash, owner of the biggest pair of basketball hands on the coast, made good use of them, rolling in 19 points for Coach chucked in nine baskets. The in ferior Pilots were completely at sea before Gale, Dave Silver, Slim Wintermute, Bobby Anet, Wally Johansen, and a flock of Duck re serves. Thirty fouls were assessed in the fray, 17 by Portland players. Ducks Too Tall Center Bill O'Donnell and his mates started the game with a tremendous height handicap, but for nine full minutes stayed in the ball game, trailing 8 to 4 as Hob by’s Webfoots gradually got their bearings, but after that were simply outclassed. Wally Johansen and Bobby Anet, Astoria’s contribution to Oregon basketball along with Sophomore Ted Sarpola, provided the impetus which kept Oregon’s attack rolling. Wally left the game on personals late in the second half. Oregon led at half-time, 32 to 12, and with reserves Matt Pavalunas, Sarpola and company playing a goodly share of time, rolling com pletely wild in the final minutes. Silver (Jets Twelve Dave Silver, husky Duck for ward, trailed Oakridge Laddie with 12 tallies on but three field goals. Center Slim Wintermute chalked up eight points, •one more than Portland top man, Eddie Cur ran. O’Donnell garnered seven. For the opening two minutes it was thoroughly ragged with neith er outfit getting warm. Forward Gale got the first field goal after Silver had potted a free throw, flicking in a short one-hander on Johansen’s pass. Up to the nine-minute mark, Oregon had gained a mere 8 to 4 advantage on field goals by Win termute and Gale, while the Pilots carovich's Bulldogs haven't been up I" standard this fall.

Two minutes later the Lemon-Yel low offense started to roll. Anet Counters Bobby Anet poked in a short | field goal on Gale's assist, which was followed immediately by Dave Silver’s rebound shot. Gangling Wintermute capped that with a lay-in on a beautiful out-of-bounds pass from Wally Johansen, and the Ducks were rolling, 21 to 6. Within the next few seconds three shots swished the net. Bob by Anet, dribbling under the bas ket, flipped a backhand pass to Laddie Gale who converted it into one of the evening’s gems. Johan sen then stole the ball at mid floor and dribbled in, unmolested, for another bucket. Forward Cur ran countered for Portland on an unguardable one-hander from the side to make it 25 to 8. For five minutes in the second half, the Purple and White held Howard Hobson’s Ducks in check, while they were outscored only eight to five as the score reached 40 to 17. But once against the Oregon lads got warm, and in the remaining time scored almost at will. Baseballers Play A couple of Pilot baseball stars, Jim Carlin and Wally C.raser got into the fray before it ended’. Car lin was the righthand hurler who was beaten only 2 to 0 here last spring as Big Bill Sayles hurled a shutout. Husky Tom Leinweber, , tackle on this year’s Portland elev- , on, also saw action. At the halfway mark, Ford Mul len, in for Bobby Anet, got hot anti potted two successive swish shuts from the left and right cor ncrs to give Oregon a 54 to 20, advantage. Ted Sarpola, smooth working reserve forward, followed Mullen’s two buckets with a neat one-hand shot near the key-hole on a pass from Ray Jewel. In Ihe last 00 seconds Oregon's attack, running hog-wild, rolled in four baskets. First Sarpola con nected on a lay-in, then Gale added a short one and a howitzer, and Mullen converted on Pavalunas’ The 1937 A. P. All-American Position Player and College Wl. End ...Charles Alex.

Ducks Will Battle Winged'M'Five In Igloo Tonight Two Ex Oregon Men On Invaders' Club This Season After a hard-fought game with the Portland Pilots last night, the Oregon varsity basketball crew will attempt to take the invading Multnomah club team into camp tonight when they meet on the floor of the Igloo at 8. The “Winged M" men boast of a very powerful squad this year, greatly spiced with a good many ex-college stars. A Homecoming To at least two of the Multno mah roster, the game will be a homecoming. Bill Courtney, dash ing guard of the 1937 edition of “Hobsonites,” and Bob Braddock, all coast football star are both Oregon graduates now playing with the Portland club. Art Merryman, Merle Taylor, Carl Lenchitsky, Cliff Folen and Jay Hollingsworth, all of Oregon State fame will probably sec ac tion for the “Winged M." Although slightly favored, the varsity team will be forced to show their best to beat the Portland hoop splitters. wrestling team, but Hank Lever’s Linfield Wildcats have a wrestling squad only. ri.—u • ■ HITS and Misses iiiUimiiiitiniitiininiiiiimiiiiimiiiiimmuiniiiuiKninuHiaiiiiiiiiiiraiiiiinmil'jiiii By GEORGE PA9ERO "Boy, that's the best big team I’Ve ever seen.” So said Coach Eddie Fitzpatrick, ■vhose Portland Pilots last night :ook a rather fancy lacing from :he elongated University of Ore gon quintet, 68-24, in the season’s loop opener on McArthur court. And Mr. Ed Fitzpatrick was soundly backed by his Pilot court nei» who took a beating, but lost none of their spirit and friendli ness. This from "Wild Bill” O'Donnell, :he lad who stood back around the center court and sent long howit zer shots soaring toward the bas ket, swishing three through the hemp. “They sure had the height, but they’ve got a good club.” Eddie Curran, slim forward, just relaxed on a bench and slowly mar veled, “If they were only clumsy, but they weren’t.” From Captain Paul McGinnis came the opinion the Webfoots should take the northwest crown this year, and Jim Carlin, fireball baseball pitcher, who last year beat the Webfoots one game, flexed his right arm and said, “It’s a little bit easier chuckin’ to ’em.” After watching the Portland boys pull off sweaty uniforms, and getting the general impression that Laddie Gale was quite a ball-play er, the Hit and Misser hiked off to see Coach Hobbie Hobson and his Ducks. Despite the large score, Hobby was none too enthusiastic. “Height won for us tonight. We showed the usual pre-season raggedness.” Barrel-chested Dave Silver, who :almly plunked 12 points last night, thought that a little raggedness in the first game of the season was a good sign. “It shows that we’re not coming along too fast. We should improve right along and be going smoothly by the regular sea son. Another reason why the game was a little bit ragged was be cause the smaller Portland boys were fighting desperately and in guarding so closely were fouling quite frequently.” Colorful quips — Announcer Don Kennedy calling Wally Johansen and Bob Anet the “Gold Dust Twins.” —Bobby Anet telling the scribe that he couldn't say much to night. Flashlight shot—Wally-Jo drib bling down the floor all alone, lifting himself into the air and just as he tipped the ball in the rim, getting a free burst of flashlight rays from the photog rapher. First point of 1937 season—Silver on a gift shot. First field goal—Gale's one hander on a quick flip from Jo hansen. First foul on Oregon—On Slim Wintermute for hacking.

Have Seven Wins The Blue Bridage has played nine games this season, losing two, to Texas Tech and Centenary, and listing seven wins with such teams as Loyola (of Los Angeles), Okla homa A. and M., and Kansas, early season tier of Nebraska. The biggest Wildcat threat is Bronko Smilanich, 180-pound half back from Minnesota, who sparked the Arizonans to their Kansas vic tory. Coach Tex Oliver, a USC grad uate, will probably start Walt Niel sen, 200-pound fullback; George Jackson, halfback, and Roy Wig ley, ace blocker of the squad. One of the best features of the Tex Oliver attack, which includes the best parts of Pop Warner’s, Howard Jones’, Knute Rockne’s, and Andy Smith’s attacks, is the “Oliver Twist’’ shift. !
