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) —

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

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

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.

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.

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY, Spo
kane, Wash., Oct. 11—Gonzaga's
sophomore-flooded grid eleven,
elevated by a 38 to 0 victory over
College of Puget Sound and then
let down by a 20 to 0 loss to Slip
Madigan's powerhouse St. Mary’s
Gaels, has settled down to a week
long series of intensive drills de
signed to heat them to a fighting
pitch when they tangle with
Coach Ted Bank's strong Idaho
team at Moscow Saturday, Octo
ber 15.
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.

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

pounds more than Cecil, and is a
powerful blocker and runs well on
reverses. Cecil is a ram - rod

Ducklings Tackle Heavy
Rook Eleven in Opening
Game of 'Little Civil War*
Babe Fullback Position a Puzzle as Game
Time Nears; Warren Names Starting Team
For Portland Invasion
By EHLE REBEK
This Saturday looks like a battle of heavyweights when the rooks
of Oregon State meet the Oregon Ducklings in Multnomah stadium at
Portland.
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.
For the frosh—Pat Smith and Bill
I Regner at ends; Val Culwell and
