' DUCK TRACKS iniiininiiniiniiniiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiuiiiimnijiifiaimmiiniiiiHiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini By ELBERT HAWKINS JlOA VU»V ■ * >** —V individuals responsible for win ning Saturday’s “dream - come - true” on Hayward field. “Just pick the whole squad,” says Tex. Heads-up Jay Graybeal saved it once defensively by intercepting a last-second pass, Vic Reginato grabbed a Bruin by one foot with his right hand once when the lad was scampering free for a touch down. But why try to name indivi vidual defensive or offensive plays where various Ducks saved the day, there were too many. Perhaps Coach Oliver should get the most praise for his “hypoder mic” substitutions of players at spot moments. Just when Oregon’s offense might seem to be slowing down, Tex would shoot in some lad to keep the spark alive. Lest any of you walked away from the Bruin contest so jittery and dazed that you still think UCLA tied Oregon—several cash customers actually did—a peek in to the rule book may help clarify matters. Case—With the score 14 to 12 for Oregon in the last second of play, Jay Graybeal intercepts a UCLA pass and falls out of the end zone with it. Ruling—"A touchback is made when the ball in possession and control of a player guarding his own goal is declared dead by the referee, any part of it being on, above, or behind the goal line, provided the impetus which sent it to or across the goal line was given by an opponent.’ Section 6, Article 1, Item 1. In the Washington State game, Bob Smith thought he was produc ing the same automatic touchback as clever jay Graybcal’s, but un luckily happened to be a yard or two in front of the goal line on his interception. The Cougars chalked up two quite harmless points by trapping Smith in the end zone. Graybeal could have presented UCLA with a touchdown in that historic last play Saturday by bat ting the pigskin into the hands of an anxious Bruin. Had there been more time fol lowing Graybcal’s self - elected touchback, Oregon would have been given the ball to put in scrimmage from “anywhere on the 20-yard line.” “Oregon’s granite line, led by all-Coast candidates End Vic Regi nato, and Center “Cat” Cadcnasso ...” That plug for two versatile Oregon linemen came from Writer Frank Finch in the Los Angeles Times, Sunday morning. Outstanding in the UCLA line, according to several accounts, was Center Johnny Ryland. Disappoint ment to many was Right End Woddie Strode, lank negro, who is rated a great pass receiver. Strode was “suckered in” sev eral times on plays which sent Ted Gebhardt around his position for lengthy gains. Kenny George Washington, passing halfback, was another highly-rated Uclan blanketed by the Oliver men.

Oregon's "Man of the Hour" rated the “comeback spirit" of the Webfoots as a very large factor in the last-quarter winf Especially was he pleased by the play of a line which tossed the bulky Bruins Favorites Win As Intramural Tennis Starts Phi Delts and Betas Appear to Have the Strongest Teams Favorites won the opening ten nis matches on the 1938 Oregon intiamural schedule as it opened Monday afternoon. The defending champions, the Phi Delts, showed good form in winning, 3-0, over the Sigma Nu team. Don Galbreath, Boise, Idaho, took a straight set victory from Russell Guiss, in the singles. Corbett an Shipley were carried to twenty games before beating McCormick and Clifford, 11-9, in tne second set. Betas Triumph The Beta Theta Pi racquet swingers, coached by Les Wcrsch kul, served notice that champion ship competition could be expected from their Patterson street quaV ters, taking a 3-to-0 nod over the squad from Zeta hall. George Corey, Beta proxy and singles man, took his sets in the most smashing style of the afternoon, winning 6-1, 6-1 over Julian Bry ant, Zeta. Although the Greek letter or ganizations took the majority of wins, the Campbell Coop pulled an upset over the Chi Psi house with a 2-1 match advantage. Results of yesterday’s matches: Phi Delta Theta 3, Sigma Nu 0; Sigma hall, forfeit to Phi Kappa Psi; A'pha Tau Omega 2, Sigma Phi Epsilon 1; Beta Theta Pi 3, Zeta hall 0; Campbell Co-op 2, Chi Psi 1, and Pi Kappa Alpha 2, Sig ma Alpha Epsilon 1. Following is schedule for today at 4 o’clock: Gamma Hall vs. Comets, Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Del ta Gpsilon, Phi Gamma Delta vs. Delta Tau Delta; 4:45: Yeomen vs. Sigma Chi, Theta Chi vs. Canard club, Alpha hall vs. Sherry Ross hull. . .

Prior to the game Oregon’s line was pronounced only so-so, but at the end even Los Angeles sports experts heralded a hard-charging Duck line. No Standouts There were no real standouts on that Duck line which battled the Bruins from goal post to goal post. Every man from Captain John Yerby, who played what might be termed probably the best game of his career, to Bud Robertson, Yerby’s flank mate, drew com ment from the Webfcot mentor. Elroy Jensen, big right tackle, performed a herculean feat, play ing the whole 60 minutes. “Iron man” Jensen was a rock of Gib raltar, but in stopping thrust after thrust he lost 15 pounds. Bill Foskett, a rugged individual in his own right, also played spec tacular ball, blocking one of the UCLA conversions after touch down. Four Guards All four guards, Mel Passolt, Ncllo Giovanini, Cece Walden, and Ernie Robertson, turned in spark ling ball in the middle of the Lemon-Green line. Larry Lance split the uprights With aij extra point try, his kick hitting high on the time clock at the end of the field. Russ Inskeep, rated a comer by Oliver, and Merle Peters, both tackles, more than held up their end, but it remained for Vic Reginato, sub-end, and Center Jim Cadenasso, to draw the plaudjts of a crowd of approxi mately 8000. In the backfiekl, as in the line, there were no real standouts. Jim Nicholson was termed by some as I he hero of the fray, Jay Graybeal must be given credit for sparking the team and for marvelous defen sive play against long passes, Bob Smith’s debut at fullback was a success, Dave Gammon got off some long kicks, Hank Nilsen and Denny Donovan opened holes for more than one play, Frank Em mons was a human locomotive with throttle wide open, Duke i Hankinson showed promise in his first varsity role. Gobh'irdt Flashes But if one person was to be singled out as outstander it would lie Ted Gebhardt, the Vallejo . triple-throater, who scored the winning touchdown and played practically the whole game. He showed remarkable endurance, and a 1 rand of consistent ball. Oliver gave the Webfoots a day of rest Monday before beginning preparations for the Stanford game two weeks hence.

Hornets Replace Comets in Donut Athletic World A new independent intra mural organization, the Hor nets, will make its debut on the campus this week taking the place of last year's Comets. 11 e Hornets, managed by George Pasero, will enter ail intramural athletics. Anyone on the campus who is r.ot affiliated with an or ganisation may join the Hor nets. Fall sports in which the I-Iomets will enter teams are cross-country, golf, tennis, an 1 volleyball. A meeting v/ill be held Tues day at 7 p.m. in the sports room of tne journalism shack. All independent men interested are urged to be present. Manager Pasero has named Don Barker, varsity two-miler, as coach of the cross-count ry team. Barker has already line.:, up a trio of last year's winners Jack Bryant, tturd-place winner last year; Galen Morey and Ward Wilson, both freshman stars of last year, will form the nucleus of the squad. Bob Horning, a teammate of Paul McBride at Grant high in Portland, will have charge of the tennis team. Mixed Recreation Program Planned Volleyball Is Only Coed Intramural Sport This Year With the emphasis on mixed recreation, a complete revision in the intramural sports program of the Women's Athletic association has been planned for this year. Formerly all sports were carried out in interhouse competition, however, only volleyball this term will be intramural. Fencing, hock ey, badminton, and riding have been formed into clubs. Fencing has not been taught on this cam pus for several years, but now stu dents wishing an opportunity to fence may participate. Managers for the different sports are Norman Angel!, fenc ing; Miidrod Snyder, hockey; and Dorothy Hutchens, volleyball, l.at- 1 or on, badminton and riding clubs will bo formed. Anyone interested may get in touch with Miss Fast burn in the women’s physical edu cation building. Those interested in fencing will meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon in the social room in Gerlinger'hall. Everyone is invited to join any club' she wishes.

At present, the Pacific conference has a new dark-horse contender. “Tex” Oliver’s Web footers, showing Eugene a new brand of football, took UCLA into camp with a thrilling 14-12 vic tory. The results of the other football contests must have been a great surprise to many a football fan. Washington, picked as a contend er for the title, proved to be a disappointment, when it was held to a 12-12 tie by the Idaho Van dals. If the Vandals could have l defeated the Huskies, it would ; have been the first time since 1900. 1 As it stood, it is the second time i they have tied Washington since 1 1907. The failure of Stanford to score on Santa Clara, and Oregon State holding USC to one goal, added to Saturday’s list of surprises. The Trojans though favored to win by a large score, met with a stub born Beaver defense. This Saturday's games might change the present standings. Cali fornia, proud of its Washington State win of 27-3, will play host to UCLA, Oregon State travels to Seattle to meet Washington, and Southern California will take on Washington State. intramural Mead Announces Slate Paul Washke, intramural sports director, announced yesterday af ternoon the scheduling of all-cam P'.s intramural singles and double in tennis, golf, handball, and pmg pong.

The husky 194-pounder also [ stated that in the four years that he prepped at the capital city, his teammates lost three tilts. Last year, the Olympians made a con quest of all the teams they faced. The youthful 17-year-old filled in the blocking back position in every tilt during his grid career at O. H. S. “Gee, compared with Washing-: ton schools, Oregon is lots better j and it makes me feel more at home. The rest of the kids on the team are surely a swell bunch,’ said the Duckling recruit. Mr. Brenner, a Beta Theta Pi pledge, gave his major on the Webfoot campus to be physical ed. The young Beta also seems to be favorably inclined toward the darker edition of the opposite sex. j Hockey Club Elects Officers at Meeting Eileen Donaldson, Mildred Snyder to Head Group With the election of Eileen Don aldson for president, Maxine Hor ton for secretary, and Mildred Sny der as manager of intramural te;ims, the hockey club swung into action yesterday at Gerlinger hall, hall.

They were happy to find such friendly people, Mr. Johns said. Mr. Johns comes to the University of Oregon from a position with Palo Alto high school in Palo Alto, California. He will instruct the Hobson Pleased With Return of Nine Lettermen Duck Hoopsters to Barnstorm While in Eastern Cities With nine lettermen returning, the Oregon university hoopsters are preparing for an even more successful season than last year. Coach Hobson has publicly stat ed that his team will be just as strong, if not stronger, than the quintet that last wore the Lemon and Green. The return of Bobby Anet, Laddie Gale, Ford Mullin, Ted Sarpola, Matt Pavalunas, Wal ly Johansen, and Slim Wintermute, should give the opponents, to say nothing of the scorekeeper, plenty of trouble. “Big" Dave Silver and Ray Jewell, the only two boys missing from last year, will leave a great gap for the newcomers to fill. More prominent among these ad ditions, which were last year’s forsh team, are George Andrews, Earl Sandness, Archie Marshik, and Evert McNeeley. New York City will have the opportunity of seeing the Web foots in action in December. No definite date has been set.. Madi son Square garden has only the leading teams of the country ap pearing on its court. Three Oregon players of last season were named on the north ern division and Pacific coast all star teams. Laddie Gale and Wally Johansen were picked for both of the honorary teams, while Slim Wintermute was voted the north west’s outstanding center. Oregon has not lost a basketball series to any northern opponent in the last two years, and scored 1652 points to their opponents’ 1226 in the 1937-8 season. They hit the gi <nd this year in November when practice begins. Radio Production Course Offered by Speech Division New this year in the speech de partment is a class in radio pro gram production. It is offered to experienced speech students inter ested in radio by Donald Hargis, instructor of speech. The course includes: use of voice, news programs, plays, adver tising, music and general subjects pertaining to radio work. In the spring the class will write a pro gram of its own and produce it over a local station. Mr. Donald Hargis is the instructor. One of the rooms in Friendly hall is now being equipped with a microphone and will be used as a practice radio room. course in neunn cuuuauou as wen as coach frosh and varsity swim ming for the coming year. In 1932 Mr. Johns was graduat ed from Stanford university. Then, in 1933 he returned to obtain his M. A. degree. He achieved Pacific coast recognition as an outstand ing pole vaulter. Record Holder While a member of the Stan ford freshman track team, Ned Johns broke several state records in freshman meets. His best track year, he said, was his senior year. That year he won the pole vault event in several meets. Mr. Johns and Bill Miller, who represented the United States in the 1932 Olympic games, were teammates. Mr. John's leaves an outstanding record behind him at Palo Alto high school. There are three pos sibilities for frosh swimming this >ear in Ted Holmes, Bill Potter, and Cutler Webster who are all from Palo Alto. According to Mr. Johns, varsity prospects are good lor the coming season, and with the winning complex developed by Mike Hoyman, his predecessor, Oregon will have strong chances. Mr. and Mrs. Johns have the greatest swimmer of all. Their six-months-old daughter, Nancy, is practically ready for competi tion now.
