DUCK TRACKS wutuiiittiitiiiiumuiuiimwiiiiimiuuiiiiiuiiiiimiimuimniuiiiiummiummmiiu By ELBERT HAWKINS No. 1 heavyweight departs . . . By order of succession, Walter Johns, 235-pound tackle from Sius law, becomes king of John War ren’s Duckling football heavies. Ron Eberall, McMinnville high prospect, who checks in at 240 pounds, personally verified his ab dication in favor of greener pas tures at Corvallis. Whether Eberall leaves by his own choice or because Honest John Warren wanted to bo vice-presi dent “man” of his squad is still a matter of conjecture. * * * Tex Oliver’s Beef-Trust cabinet, in case you were curious, weighs exactly 680 pounds. That figure is frightfully inaccurate after the Trust played handball however. Announcing Tex’s cabinet: Ralph W. Cole (Big Bill)—240 pounds. Mike Mikulak (Iron Mike)—215 pounds. John Warren (Honest John) — 225 pounds. * * * Sometime this season the Stan ford Indians are going to get hot and score some touchdowns, ac cording to Coach Tiny Thornhill. He is specific enough to name either Oregon or Southern Cali fornia as the victim. Witness: “We hope to show you an offense next Saturday, and maybe we will, or It might take another week.” Stan ford meets Oregon and CSC in succession. UCLA’s coach, Bill Spaulding, when he was in Eugene recently, said, “Give Southern California a few weeks— then watch them. Washington State is showing signs of perkging up. And “wait awhile” signs arc tackpd out on the Washington campus. Brother, this conference race is going to bo a mess before mid season. * * * Oregon has just one Portlander out for freshman football this year, but John Warren wouldn’t trade him for a couple of ordinary boys. This Duckling is Bill Brenner, cx-Grant luminary, six-feet two inches and 195 pounds of the toughest end material Oregon has seen for several moons. He's rated an expert play diag noscr, and one of the squad s “crashingcst” defensive players. Portland contributed four play ers—Leonard Isberg, Bill Ehrman, Chet Haliski, and A1 Samuelson to the 1937 frosh squad. Samuel son prepped at Winloek, Washing ton, although the Rose City is his official home town.

Webfoots Embark on7000-Mile Trek Today Coach Oliver Names Thirty-Four Gridders On Traveling Squad Stanford Number One Item of Business on Duck Slate; Fordham and Polo Grounds Second Stop of Busy Oregonians Thirty-four Webfoot gridders, handed presents in the form of roundtrip tickets to the land of the Empire State building and Brooklyn bridge by Coach G. A. (Tex) Oliver yesterday, will pack their grips this morning and head for New York by way of Palo Alto. Following early practice, the Duck brigade will wend its way to the railroad station through crowds gathered to give Tex and his boys a mammoth sendoff, and at noon will roll out of Eugene aboard a south-bound train. FROM FOOTBALL FRONT Coach Tex Oliver increased his traveling party to 35 follow ing practice last night, adding John Biller, a guard, to the squad. Addition of Biller gives the team six guards. All Hands in Shape Pronounced in their best shape of the season by “Smiling Tex," the Webfoot warriors will face one of their toughest opponents of the season Saturday when they tangle with Stanford’s Indians at Palo Alto. And not until this Stanford business is past history will be Webfoots turn their eyes to New York and the Fordham Rams. Accompanying the 34 players in the Webfoot entourage are Line Coach Bill Cole, Trainer Bob Offi cer, Team Manager Ed Thomas and Athletic Manager Anson B. Cornell. Bruce Hamby, publicity director, and Howard Hobson, chief scout, will also be on hand in the "Big Town.” Locked Oates Coach Oliver took his squad be hind locked gates again last night, drilling for the Stanford game, the tilt which Oliver and many Webfoot supporters believe to be the "key game" to Webfoot football fortunes this year. The squad which Oliver named to make the 7000-mile journey con sisted of six ends, six tackles, five guards, three centers, four quarter backs, four left halfbacks, three right halfbacks and three full backs. Heading the ends will be Captain John Yerby, the boy who is con sidered the most under-rated mem ber of the big "green" team. Yerby, always a good end, has found a new spirit this year, and is plenty tough. His teammates will vouch for that. Backing up Yerby at lett end are Rod Speetzen and Larry Lance, the dark-haired Cali j fornian. nil'llliiusop (ioing Oliver is also taking three right ends, namely, Vie Keginato, Len (Bud) Robertson, and Bob Blenk insop. Plenty of big, rough tackles are a requisite for any team playing a tough schedule, and Oliver is tak ing six with him. They are Bill Foskett, Elroy Jensen, Jim Stuart, Merle Peters, Russ Inskecp. and Sims Hamilton. Jensen and Fos kett played most of the UCLA game and are favored to start Saturday. At guard, the Webfoot mentor is deviating from the number of tackles and ends on his traveling party. He is taking one less, five. Cece Walden, Nello Giovanini, i Ernie Robertson, Mel Passolt, and little Bud Nestor are the guards who have won themselves a trip. Three May Star Center, the pivotal position, has three stalwarts, all three potential stars, in Jim Cadentisso, the rug ged Italian from St. Mary's, A1 Samuelson, and Erling Jacobsen. 1’he genial Oliver is making sure he has enough backs on hand when he displays the Oregonians to the i ground patrons. He is taking a total of 14 ball carriers on the trip. Lett halfbacks number four, and j include the slippery Pendleton; Jackrabbit, Jay Graybeal; Jimmie | "The Nick" Nicholson; Duke, : II a n k i n son, a fast-improving sophomore, and Steve Anderson. | | blond lettermau who has yet to I play in his first game this year.

If all the members show up that have signified their intention of trying out for the team, some 38 men will be on hand. Twenty-two boxers and 16 wrestlers have signed up. Most of last year's men are back and will form the backbone of this year's team. Merle Hans com, Gale Ferris, Smokey Whit field and Russ Inskeep were un defeated in northwest intercolle giate competition last year and are expected to do a lot of good fighting this year.

Frosh Team Strong The frosh team will be built around Dan Mahoney, Portland Big Nine league champion from Hill Military academy. A Willamette valley champion from Springfield, George Warner, is expected to bolster up the fresh man team. Art McChesnye, run ner-up in the same league, is an other frosh who will be in today's turnout. Wrestlers expected to be in to day's turnout are: Ray Foster, Ronny Long, Jack Mortality, Bur ton Dake, Elmer Hanson, Bob Douglas, Meldren Henderson, and H. E. Ireland. Ferris O'Brien and Tom Mc Relvie are two sophomores who will make the veterans hop to keep their positions on the team. 1 he University of Oregon has sent more players into professional ranks than any other Pacific coast school.

Locomotive" Frank Ktnmons, the Beaverton Buster, will get the nod at the fullback berth, and should give Palo Alto and New Vork fans something to talk about Alien he breaks through the line. Marshall Stenstrom is again in shape, and to insure capable re placements, Oliver has shifted Len Isberg to the line-bucking post. Bill Ftaeh. stubby but powerful letterman. is the only Webfoot fullback who is not making the trip. Letterman Each is still suf fering front an injured knee. They Were Favorites, But Willie Won the Prize Three of amateur golf’s elite—Ray Billows, runnerup to Johnny Goodman in the 1937 tourney at Portland; Steve Kcvatch, and Charlie Yates, British amateur champion—talked things over at the end of one of their rounds it* this year’s national tourney held at the Oakmont club in Pittsburgh. But it didn’t do any good for Willie Turnesa won in a walk. Future Lawyers to Hold 'Swing' Smoker Frank Nash, president of the Fenton hall student body, announced that Oregon’s future barristers will hold a smoker on Thursday, the thirteenth. The boys will meet then at 8 o’clock in the Elks club. The program will include many novel attractions. Besides the usual stories of a smoker, there will be swinging in the groove but only in the way of leather. The Mitt and Mat club will put on a . ..A Grant high school recruit to the Duckling ranks named Bill Regner has been going places and doing things on the frosh grid crew. The six-foot-two Beta Theta Pi pledge played at the fullback spot at the start of the 1937 season, but was soon shifted over to the end where he is now doing the honors. Regner was chosen as end on two all-city teams in the “Rose City.” He played at the halfback spot in the all-star tilt. By putting 195 pounds behind his heaves, the 18-year-old Duck ling annexed the city shot-put rec ord at 51 feet‘6 inches and the discus record at 139 feet. According to the youthful Beta, Coach Jerry Lillie of Grant high school uses a wide-open offense and encourages a razzle-dazzle type of play. Regner picks the Frosh to trim the Rooks by a score of 13-6 in the coming fracas in Portland Sat urday. When asked who would score the goals, Bill declared that Doug Caven would make one of the tallies, and Harris would cross the stripe with the other. It has been noticed that Regener has a faculty for diagnosing plays and smearing them before they are even started. The flashy end. a probable start er. has been appointed captain for the tilt. Regner also picked the Oregon Webfoots to defeat Stanford's In dians by one touchdown. Bill picked Ted Gebhardt to score the winning six points.

Since coming to the Vandal in stitution in 1935 Ted Bank has gained a 2 to 1 decision over Coach Mike Pecarovich and the Bulldog mentor is anxious to even the count when Gonzaga and Idaho renew a 28-year old series Satur day. At the start of the season every one wondered who would fill the big shoes left vacant by George (Automatic) Karamatic who is now fullbacking for the profes sional Washington Redskins. Then along came silver-haired Tony i Canadeo, last year’s frosh star, ! who has been doing a marvelous job of carrying on where George left off. Against CPS and St. Mary's Tony played standout of fensive ball and proved himself an honest - to - goodness triple - threat star. The two Hare brothers, Ray at right half and Cecil at fullback, have come along in grand style, i Both are big, tough and aggres | sive. Ray weighs 195 pounds, ten pounds more than Cecil, and is a powerful blocker and runs well on reverses. Cecil is a ram - rod plunger and murderous line bucker. A feature of recent scrimmages has been the great battle for regu lar right guard honors between Cecc Walden, one-year letterman. and Melvin Passolt, fiery holdover reserve . . . both men have been standouts in daily drill.

Both teams will average near the 200-pound mark, and both have the best material they have had in severaj years. It will be the first action of the season for the Orange Babes. Warren will have as much trouble picking ’ out a starting backfield as will Coach McKalip of the rooks. McKalip will have to choose one of three outstanding men for the fullback spot. Bob McCallisted, Astoria; Bob Ranum, Aberdeen, Washington, and Jim Busch, 200-pounder from Silverton, are the boys giving the Orange coach the most worry. Backs Cause Problem Warren will pick his backs from the group of Doug Caven, Eugene pride; Don Clickard, a threat to Bill Brenner at the fullback berth; Dominic Giovanini, probable start er at quarter; Bill Jensen from Seattle; Steve Fowler; Bill Bren ner, and Roy Dyer. The shift of Val Culwell to tackle has left Dominic Giovanini as the best prospect at quarter back. The rooks will be out for their first win since 1935, the frosh hav ing won every game between the two schools since that time. Lineups Given The probable starting lineup for the two teams are as follows: For the rooks — Lewis Hammers and Johnny Leovich at ends; Stanley Czeck and Martin Chaves at tackles; John Conrad and Bud English at guards; Hugh McDon- j aid at center; Harry Rich at quar terback; George Peters at left half; Don Durden at right half; and either Bob McCallister, Bob Ranum or Jim Busch at fullback.
