[ DUCK TRACKS By ELBERT HAWKINS i 'Two months ago University of Oregon started a new era of foot bu'l under smiling Tex Oliver, the Pfoi Beta Kappa coach from Ari zona, where last year his Wildcats boomed into prominence by beating ta coast conference team—Oregon— to 6. Now the “first mile” is about lover for Oliver. Spring football is fiimishlng, the big “preview” of Ore gon’s potential 1938 eleven against tine All-Stars is in the past, and fans are wondering just how Tex has taken to the set-up at Oregon. How does he like it ? Just sit hack and relax. Coach Oliver likes lie there, lie is optimistic about Ore gef n’s prospects for a successful campaign next fall, and surveys the last two months as a period of ac complishment. ' | $1 sp K: Line Coach Bill Cole, the volum inous replacement for Gene Shields, also likes it here, and like Coaches Oliver, Mikulak, and Warren is ■popular with the athletes. Cole commented before the big “preview” that filling the tackle posts will probably be his greatest job, but he also said that tempo rary weakness couldn't keep an Oliver team from winning games. Fans looking for a sieve-like var sity line in the All-Star game were rather surprised to watch the Web foot forwards tighten under offen sive attack of the pros, grads, and 'ftilers-in. Until yesterday’s unforgetable S fo I defeat at the hands of Buck 15 iley’s Washington State Cou gars in Pullman it looked like his tory might he repeating itself for Hobby Hobson and his Webfoot baseball team.
