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.

versity of California at l.os An

ference football pla> today in a

Ducks Trample Hapless Pilot Quintet, 68-24
Laddie Gale Leads Heavy
Onslaught Over Portland
Neophytes in First Game
Oakridge Star Gets 19 Points; Dave Silver
With 12, Bobby Anet, Wally Johansen, and
Wintermute; Reserves All Figure
By ELBERT HAWKINS
A ragged but relentless Webfoot scoring machine gaining
momentum as it went, piled over a hapless Portland university
quintet in the season’s hoop opener at the Igloo last night, 68
to 24. 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.

Hobson’s colorful Ducks. He
had missed numerous close shots.
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’

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.
First Portland points—McGinnis
