DUCK TRACKS wnuiiiittinniuiiimiiiiiiminiiimimiiiumiiimiumiiimiuimimiuuiniiuiiiiumiii By ELBERT HAWKINS XjVCI^IIIUI^ 1/vr 8“'" * • * October 12, 1935, Is a significant date in Fordham athletic history. It was on that day the Rams lost their last home game at the Polo grounds. These rambling Rams have real ly rambled in the three years and a week since then under the tutcl afe of “Sleepy” Jim Crowley, for mer member of Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame “Four Horsemen.” They have dropped only one game in approximately 25 starts since that day. Is it no wonder that eastern sports writers, are quoting odds of 3 to 1 for a Ford ham win over Oregon? The significance is that the world won’t be much shocked if Oregon loses, but think of the rumpus it’ll stir up if Tex Oliver’s anfbitlous Webfoots should, elicit for an upset. * * * When Crowley was a “Four Horseman” at Notre Dame they called his seven mates in the line the “Seven Mules.” Fordham goes them one better and calls their line “The Seven Rocks of Gran ite.” This battering line has allowed only one touchdown in two years to pass over or through it. Last year “The Seven Rocks of Gran ite" were unscored upon, while the Fordham team itself was nicked for only 16 points. Purdue drove for one touchdown tying Fordham, 6 to 6, last week—the only time in three 1938 games the Ram goal line has been penetrated. Further reason for heavy betting on Fordham is the consistent rec ord of Coach Jim Crowley himself. In five seasons at Fordham up to this fall his teams have won 29, lost 7, and tied 5. Add to that two wins and a tie for this season. What! No Smiths? They’re just a bunch of fur riners” these Bams of Fordham, even though the only direction they know is “ahead.” Bight Guard for Fordham is “jess plain Jimmy Hayes.” The rest of the Bam lineup reads like this: Jacunskt, Kuzman, Kochel, DeFillppo, Biddick, Dennery, Kry wicki, Kaxlo, Holovak, and Prin eipe. For screwy pronunciations the name of Bight Half Stanley Lcw cayk is a winner. Call him (Lcff check). Bemember Alexander Wo jciechowlxcss, last year’s all-Amer ican center. They call him ((Woe gee-hoe-wit/.). As for Yudikaitis, we’ll let Crowley figure that out. iWhy have the frosh played only one home game in two years? “What do all students need to go to school on?” roars Frosh Coach Honest John Warren. Dough! “All right," fires back Honest John, "that's settled." Skipper Warren says his Duck lings played Washington high of Portland on Hayward field for a net of $7f>. Compare that with foui’ or five hundred dollars the frosh are apt to pick for playing the Oregon State rooks in Port land and Klamath Falls and you have a solution. # * * Oregon Iasi piayed in New York in 1931 when Mike Mikuluk and company scuttled New York uni versity • • .

Hugh McDonald, regu lar starting center, was out most of this week with injuries. Bud English, guard, Don Durden, and Bob McCallister, halfbacks, and Bob Ranum and Jim Busch, have all been on the sidelines at prac tices earlier this week, but are expected to be ready for the frosh, Saturday. McKalip, rook mentor, will prob ably'have a somewhat different team start the game Saturday than the crew that started last week in Portland. The rook.s have been practicing intensively this week on line plays, probably due to the fact that the frosh made a lot of yardage on rushing plays in the first game of the series. Gene Gray Blocks Gene Gray will be a probable starter at blocking back. Gray played a few minutes in the last game. He did quite a bit of the pass flipping before he injured his ankle and was taken out of the game. The Baby Beavers will be after their first win in several years at Klamath Falls. The two teams will have one of the best turfed fields on the coast to play on in Klamath’s newly grassed gridiron. Phi Sigs Score Two Victories Defeat SPE Squad By Toss of Coin; Co-op Defeated Winning two of the most torrid matches played thus far, Phi Sig ma Kappa went into the third round of the intramural golf tour nament. The Phi Sigs defeated Sigma Phi Epsilon, although both had six points apiece at the con clusion of the match, then went on to take Campbell co-op by a 1/ to 4/ score. The first match was decided by the flip of a coin. Both the Phi Sigs and the SPEs had six points, so Lady Luck was the deciding factor. Scores Phi Sigma Kappa Pts. W. Crow . 2 C. Fetsch . 3 K.

Stretching 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 155 pounds, and 27 years old, he makes an imposing sight on tlie tennis court. He has played against most of the top notch players in the country. Bobby Riggs, Wayne Sabin, E 1 w o o d Cooke, and a host of California stars, all have found him a tough opponent. Kermit originally came from Kansas, where he field the state doubles title jointly with a local product. Then he went to Cali fornia, where he resumed court play. In the National Public Parks tournament lie went to the quar ter-finals before being eliminated. Speaking of Oregon's pride and joys, Elwood Cooke and Wayne Sabin, he said, "Cooke and Sabin have an excellent chance of being the Davis Gup tandem combina tion next year, since the Don Budge-Gene Make partnership has disbanded. However, the Oregon ians will have plenty of competi tion from the raequctfcers in sou thern California." As for the weather, he likes it much better than that of "sunny" California. He claims the weather is unpredietabe down south. Coupled with his good looks, Kermit has a Packard coupe. However girls do not interest him. No. he's not a woman hater.

Mentor Warren Drills Freshmen For Klamath Tilt Fowler and Davis Likely Changes in Frosh Lineup Portly John Warren and 28 of his fighting gridsters entrain Saturday at 12 o’clock for Klam ath Falls where they tangle in the second game of the “civil war” series with the Oregon State rooks that night on Modoc field. During the past week the Duck lings have been practicing the tim ing of their plays and working on an aerial attack which is hoped will set the rooks back on their heels. Warren has picked 22 men, so far, and will choose the remaining six this morning. Travelers Named The traveling squad as an nounced last night includes: Ends, Regner, Smith, Harris, Lidstrom; guards, Segale, Beckner, Davis; tackles, McCudden, Surles, Cul well, Bromley; centers, Thompson, Wilson; backs, Fowler, Brenner, Dyer, Jensen, Giovanini, Clickard, Van Mat ter, Caven, Anderson. The switching of Bob Daxis, 200 pounder from Forest Grove, to left guard, is the only change in the frosh lineup. Bob Beckner started at the spot last Saturday. Bill Brenner, line plower from Washington, who has been prac ticing with a fractured hand all week, will start at his regular berth in spite of the injured pass ing flipper. Dominic Giovanini, blocking back, will play on his home town field for the first time since he started in the southern Oregon conference last yaer. West Petrie Gets 216 Out of Possible 300 To Win Boxbail Title Bowling a phenominal 216 points out of a possible 300, West Petrie scored an easy win over all oppo nents to take the first ASUO box ball bowling contest, according to final tabulations compiled yester day. Jeannine Withers scored 129 points in one game to take the girls' title. This is a high score for women, the management indi cated. Although the contest is officially closed there is still time for stu dents of the University to cash in on their ASUO cards, according to word from the management. An extended time will give students with cards this week to get their two free games. Hockey Club to Plan Slate, Constitution The Hockey club will hold its first business meeting of the year in the social room in Gerlinger hall this afternoon at 4 o’clock to draw up a constitution. A game sched ule will also be made to exchange games with the Oregon State team. The group has received an invi tation to send a team to the annual tournament of the Pacific Coast section of American field hockey which will take place at Palo Alto, November 28 and 29. This will be the first time that the hockey team has partaken in any tournament outside of campus activities. The selection of a team for this event will be discussed. \1> HONOKAKY MEETS Members of Alpha Delta Sigma, advertising honorary, met yester day in Professor W. F. G.

All-Campus Golf, Tennis, Handball, Ping Pong Starts Weiner and Alden Chalk Up Triumph In Net Doubles A program of all-campus ath letics including tennis, golf, hand ball, ping pong, was officially opened this week with the first round of elimination in tennis and handball singles. The first round of ping pong, golf, and doubles in handball and tennis is scheduled to be finished by next Monday. Survivors of the first handball singles scramble are Chester Shan, P. Collins, G. Coney, Harry Lowe, and Joe Amato, 'ftyey will be paired off for further play next week. Winners Named The first round of tennis singles left the following victors: W. R. Endicott, Pete Thorne, Cal Wil son, F. Konschol, Norm Wiener, Chris Madera, and Jack McClen ent. In the first battle of the sec ond round, Endicott defeated Thorne, 6-3, -1-6, 6-3. Others will play on or before Monday. In the only tennis doubles match played yesterday Wiener and Al den defeated Clifford and McCor mick. Corey and Parke have already posted a victory over Smith and Coleman in the handball doubles. BERNIE McCUDDEN iBernie McCudden, 190-pound tackle from Oregon City is a fa vored started at the heavier spot in the line in the coming frosh rook game at Klamath Falls. The 19-year-old Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge was captain of the Pioneer team last year which cap tured the mythical state cham pionship after edging out the Lava Bears from Bend, 14-13. He was named on the “Big 9” all-star team for three years. McCudden claimed that his greatest thrill in prep school foot ball came when he blocked a punt and ran 25 yards for a touchdown against Milwaukie. Incidentafly, the Oregon City team triumphed in the tilt. The youthful SAE developed in to an excellent heavyweight wrest ler during his service in the Ore gon City team. He also tossed the discus on the track team. He often whirled the plate through the at mosphere for more than 120 feet. The Duckling recruit declared that he liked the campus very well and thought a great deal' of his teammates. McCudden picks the Webfoots to defeat Fordham’s Rams and for the frosh to triumph over the rooks by a two-goal margin.

Regular $5.50 Meal I ickets Only .50 OFFER GOOD UNTIL NOVEMBER FIRST The ANCHORAGE Ca,e Fordham Eleven Favored As Game Time Nears; Ducks See 'Big Town’ Tabbed by New York sports writers as the outstanding gridiron contest of the coming weekend, the Oregon-Fordham clash at the Polo Grounds Saturday continued as the favored subject for specula tion among eastern football followers yesterday as game time drew near. Writers in the “Big Town” are booming the game as a test of the merits of an eastern power against a strong Pacific coast team. Oregon’s victories over Wash ington State and UCLA have been factors in the Webfoots rise to favor in the city of tall skyscrap ers. But for all that, dyed-in-the wool sport fans still remember the last trip of an Oregon eleven to New York. That year was 1931, and the Ducks, led by Iron Mike Mikulak, now Oregon backfield coach, turned on the New York Univer sity Violets, coached by Chick Meehan, and beat them, 14-7. Both Have Trouble Both Oregon and Fordham suf fered disappointments last week end, Oregon losing to Stanford 27 to 16, and the Rams managing to gain only a 6-6 tie with Purdue’s Boilermakers. Fordham's tie with Purdue was considered, in some quarters, as tan indication that Coach Jimmy Cowley has a com ing ball club out on Rose Hill. Fordham, although failing to outscore Purdue, clearly had a de cided playing edge, just as did Ore gon over Stanford. The Rams, without the aid of a passing attack, piled up 328 yards of net gains by rushing plays to Purdue’s 109, made 16 first downs to the Boilermaker’s 11, and yet gained only a tie. Oregon, in turn, outgained Stanford's Indians by rushing, 238 yards to 75, yet lost because of a lack of pass defense. Ducks Are Busy Coach Tex Oliver and his boys were busy all of their second day (Thursday) in New York. Oliver worked his men hard of Fordham formations yesterday, and then took them out for a luncehon at Jack Dempsey's restaurant and a visit to the Empire State building. The Webfoots are expected to limber up today at the exclusive Westchester Country club where they are staying, and then will rest until game time tomorrow. With the Webfoots at the scene of action, and reports of the prow ess of a fellow named Jay Grabeal grapevining over New York, fans Donut Harriers T oil Under Hayward Intramural cross-country har riers, training for the long trek on November 18, are being told that by reporting for their workouts after 3 o’clock on Monday, Wed nesday, or Friday they may re ceive free instruction and training from Colonel Bill Hayward, vet eran Duck track coach, according to donut directors. All the entrants must have posted nine workouts before the meet. A list of entrants who have been declared ineligible by the health service has also been posted near the basket room in the PE plant. were anticipating a great individ ual duel between the Oregon flash and Len Eshmont, a Fordham sophomore. Graybeal wasn’t the only Web foot to receive attention in New York, however. Scouts who saw the Oregon eleven on the West Coast and who have brought to Fordham scouting data, have warned New Yorkers of two loco motive-style fullbacks in Frank Emmons and Marshall Stenstrom; ambling halfbacks in Jimmy Nich olson and Duke Hankinson; and sturdy linemen in John Yerby, Jim Cadenasso, Bill Foskett, and Nello Giovanini. | The New ■ PALACE § Willamette at Seventh S I ICE * CREAM | 20c quart { Why Pay More? | ■ V “LAM THE RAMS, OREGON” AFTER THE DANCE . . . treat your girl friend to— ® A Foot Long Hot Dog ® Cube Steak Sandwich • A Fountain Dainty . . . our special weekend features.
