'Question Mark* Ducks Open Season With WSC Cougars, September 24 Oregon's “question mark” Ducks will hardly have a breathing spell before they plunge into conference play against W.S.C. September 24. The contest, to be held at Pullman and the first conference game on the schedule, will be as tough an opener as anyone could desire. Although the Webfoots defeated the Cougars 10 to 6 last year, the all-time record shows only 5 wins and 8 defeats for the Ducks. Three games were tied. WSC is almost as well supplied with lettermen as Oregon, having 17 sweater-wearers returning for the season. While Cotch “Tex” Oliver includes the Cougars in the dark horse group, he considers the team strengthened over last year. First home game will come the Saturday following when the Ducks entertain UCLA and Kenny Wash ington. The Uclans finished at the bottom last year, but their only victory came at the expense of Oregon. Prepared by a two-week layoff, on the Indians, and begin a road jaunt that includes Forctham at the Ducks go to Palo Alto to take New York, and' USC in Portland. __ Idaho will provide a kings-X breather November 5 in Eugene. On successive week-ends the Ducks will meet the teams which Oliver considers the best bets for places at the top when everything is over—California at Berkeley, and Washington at Portland. Climax of the season will be the Oregon-Oregon State classic in Portland November 26. The Web foots will be out to avenge the 14-0 defeat administered last year at Eugene. Minus the services of Joe Gray, the Beavers should find plenty of trouble in the “Oliver Twist” Ducks. TRY the TRAIN TO EUGENE Go to college the fast, safe, inexpensive way.

If they were to travel continuously for the entire two months of their schedule, the gridders would average 183 miles per day, which is quite a bit of ground to cover. • * * Oregon played host to the coach ing school this summer during the vacation session. Tex Oliver taught football assisted by “Hon est John” Warren and “Big Bill” Cole. Howard Hobson lectured on basketball, and also had the team down to assist him in showing the different types of plays. Perennial Bill Hayward was there to teach the new dogs old tricks. Following his work in the school Bill went back into hiber nation on the McKenzie river to catch up on his fishing. * * * Behind John Warren’s gruff ness—I walked into the athletic offices the other day to get an in terview with the frosh mentor. John was behind the information desk, and the secretary was phon ing in the adjoining office.

In the aggregate the line, backfield, and freshman football mentors would tip the scales at just a trace over one-third of a ton—which is quite a bit of coaches. The baby of the three is Ralph W. (Big Bill) Cole, who succeeds Gene Shields as head line coach. Scaling in the neighborhood of 240 pounds, technically speaking “Big BiH”s words carry plenty of weight. i _____________________ ear he pointed into the next room where the perturbed girl was try ing to talk on the phone with John creating static in her ear. * * * Coming to Eugene, a dark horse as far as golfers were concerned, Tex Oliver walked off with top honors in a tournament conducted over the stiff Eugene Country club course. Oliver won the annual spring handicap round over a large field composed of club members. The key to Tex’s success may be gleaned from the fact that he also won the driving contest con ducted at the club course. * * * Ellsworth (Vines) Ellis, seeded number three on the varsity tennis team is touring the eastern courts, and with all the experience that he is obtaining in the big time tournaments he bids fair to boost the chances of Oregon’s racquet wielders. Maurice Van Vliet, an Oregon grad, goes up to Vancou ver, British Columbia, to teach. Paul McBride, a transfer from Portland U last year, will be eligible for varsity competition this year in tennis. McBride is one of the ranking players in the state of Oregon. « * * Here and there with the Oregon football team: Jim Cadenasso—working for an oil company . . .

The two years following he worked under Howard Jones as varsity line coach. From 1928 until last spring, Cole was director and head coach of athletics at Tustin, California, high school. A big, jovial man, Cole has the abil ity to make his men work with out discord. Tipping the beam at a mere 215 is that perennial Oregon favorite, Mike Mikulak, who remains on the Oregon coaching staff. After earn ing three letters in football and receiving All-American mention in ’31, ’32, and ’33, "Iron Mike’’ is well known to Oregon football fans. From three successful years of varsity competition Mikulak joined up with the Chicago Cardinals in professional ball. With such a bril liant record behind him, he is fully capable of filling his position as backfield coach. The oldest serving member of the present grid board, John War ren, rates as the middleweight of the staff at 225. John, mentor of the suprising Ducklings of last year, is another Oregon grad.

'Smilin' Tex’ Takes the Reins at Oregon for 1938 Judging from Tex Oliver’s past performances Oregon has a good chance for finishing in the money when Pacific Coast football winds up. Oliver starts his mentorship at Oregon after five successful years at the University of Arizona. Last year, under Oliver’s leadership, the Arizona eleven defeated the University of Oregon team by a score of 20 to 6. While coaching at Santa Ana, Cal., for two years, he ran up the PTlvifl hln nf 97 ofraierVi f trir>tnrino When Joe Huston, flashy guard - of the 1937 team, reports to the Chicago Bears professional foot ball team, he will be the 16th Ore gon gridder to advance to the money field in football. Oregon has contributed more players to the pro ranks than any other college on the Pacific coast. Some of the luminaries to “go up” were: George Christensen, Butch Morse, Detroit; Bill Morgan, John Kitzmiller, New York; Bernie Hughes, Bree Cuppoletti, Mike Mik ulak, Ross Carter, Chicago Cards; Del Bjork, Chicago Bears; Mark Temple, Alex Eagle, Brooklyn, and Jerry Donnell, Los Angeles. Oliver began his football career at West Point immediately follow ing the World war in which he served overseas. From a tenure at West Point he attended Stanford, and later gained his B.A. degree from the University of Southern California. An indication of his scholastic ability was his earning a Phi Beta Kappa key. G. A. (Tex) Oliver, is the 22nd coach in the 44 years Oregon has played competitive football. After spending his childhood and early athletic training in Texas, Oliver has acquired a soothing Texas drawl which adds to his pleasing personality making him well liked among the players.
