DUCK TRACKS iamiiiiiunmiimim!iinmumuiiui;Miitiiimuimiiiiimuiimmiiimiiimiiiiuimimi By ELBERT HAWKINS Brothers to the rescue . . . Oregon’s interested aluminums might be happy to know that Frosh Coach Honest John Warren already has designs on enough preppers to make his 1938 football team a winner. If brothers alone of former and present Webfoot athletes turn toward Eugene next fall, Honest John’s worries .will cease. Varsity Back Frank Emmons has a kid brother, Mike, who is wowing ’em for Beaverton this year. Mike, who averages over a touchdown a game, is expected to enroll at Eugene next fall. Then there’s Johnny Bjork, 200 pounds of dynamite, who is follow ing in the footsteps of all-Coast Dell at tackle. John Warren says this Astorian “will be tough for Oregon.” Cliff Anet, brother of Bobby the basketballer of Hobby Hob* son’s Oregon northern division champs, is another Astorian fig ured to cast his lot at Oregon. Cliff plays basketball and is a quarterback in football. So send your kid brothers to Oregon, alums, and give Honest John Warren a boost. * * * Espionage on the gridiron . . . The Coast will be covered like a blanket today by Oregon football scouts diagramming plays of the enemy. In the South is Mike Mikulak, Duck backfield coach. Mike will be watching Southern California against Stanford in Palo Alto. The Trojans play Oregon in Portland next Saturday. In the North is Howard Hobson, Oregon’s basketball and baseball mentor, who’ll do joint duty watching Washington and Califor nia in their widely-publicized Seat tle scrap. The co-champions of ’33 . . . Members of Prink Callison’s great 1933 Oregon eleven, which tied Stanford for the Coast con ference title, losing only one game during the season, have found their way into varied fields in the intervening years. None of the coaching staff re mains. Prink got the axe, Line Coach Gene Shields is coaching Washing ton high in Portland, and Johnny Kitzmillcr, hack Held tutor, is sell ing lumber carriers in Dallas. Here’s liow the first stringers scattered in four years. Bobby Parke, punting ace, quar terback, and co-captain elect— trainer for the Oregon frosh while finishing his course. Mike Mikulak, all-American fullback—Oregon’s present back fleid coach under Tex Oliver. Mark Temple, all-around left half—-coaching at The Dalles high. Leighton Gee, right half and cutback artist—married and liv ing at Hollister, California. Bud Pozzo, end—working for his dad with a concrete mixing concern in Los Angeles. Butch Morse, all-American end —playing pro football with the Detroit Lions. Alex Eagle, tackle — in fSan Francisco. Biff Nilsson, tackle—with Ids dad in the Nilsson I’a per company, Portland. Bree Cuppolctti, guard — with tiie Chicago Bears. Dutch Clark, guard—in Spokane. Bernie Hughes, center—Medford Chevrolet salesman. * * *1* She's smarter than Tex . . . Mrs. Oliver keeps herself young by not listening in on Tex’s foot ball teams which leave radio lis teners limp with exhaustion. She gleans the scores and post mor tem out of the Sunday papers. Tex sits on the bench and takes it. Smiling Tex and his wife don't make football a 24-hour job, rare ly discussing the problem of Ore gon's Webfoots over the Inane broth. Mrs. Tex' gels her back ground from the papers. * # * For those who think Fordhuni won't score today . . . dim Crowley’s Humbling Rums, catapulting behind their powerful line, “The Seven Hocks of Oran ite," piled up the amazing yards ol 4 lit) yards from scrimmage last Saturday against l’urdue. The Fordhams pass less than the Ore gonians, apparently- not needing to. Spark of the Hams is a modest Polish youngster, Leonard Ksh mont, who lias packed the leather 1182 yards in three games for an average of 7.33 yards per try. In punting, Oregon may have tlie edge today. The Hams, minus Joe Wolkoski, ace of 1!»37, averaged only 28 yards against little I psula which felt in a 17 to 0 rout recent ly.

In the past few years such a game, although always a hard-fought contest, would never have drawn the rating of one of the coast's out standing football melees of the year. But this year is not like any other year. Idaho has a very strong football club. So has the Universtiy of Oregon. And, consequently, I Coach Hobson Bills Nine-Tilt Eastern Series Webfoot Mentor Arranges for Grid Broadcasting By ARNIE MILSTEIN University of Oregon hoopstesr will make a tour of eight eastern cities, when they play their pre season games in December. They will visit as many states, includ ing one contest at San Francisco, Coach Howard “Hobby” Hobson revealed yesterday. He visited with newspapermen in New York and Chicago, all of whom wer e anxiously awaiting the j appearance of the Webfoots. Ar-; rangements were made for the broadcasting of the Oregon-Ford ham football game today, includ ing a broadcast by “Tex" Oliver and Ed Dooley over the NBC net work. Some forty-five thousand fans are expected to attend to day’s football contest at the Polo j grounds.

Thence to Eugene, to inaugurate the conference season with Wash ington State on January 2. Stanford and Ubl Draw Spotlight In Coast Plag Washington State,' Oregon State Meet In Portland The Saturday Coast conference spotlight will focus on the meeting of Stanford and Southern Califor nia today, when they battle to hold the initial position in the stand ings. They are 'wo of the three leaders, California also holding that spot. This will be the second thriller in a row for the Palo Alto Indians, after their inspiring win over Oregon last week. One of the two teams is bound to drop out, a tic being thi' only way to make the race more interesting and com plicated. California ; also risking its leadership against the Wash ington Huskies at Seattle. Toir prising Staters The surprising Oregon Slato team, is favored over the Washing ton State outfit, ft will be the Cougars' fifth conference encoun ter, and they have yet to break the ice. The Beavers are being watched with keen interest, after their spectacular play and wiu against Washington last week. is scheduled as the main attrac tion of the Oregon homecoming celebration, November 5, is a nat ural. Little did officials of both schools, when they arranged for the game, realize the tremendous importance this game would as sume. Idaho is a “king’s-x” mem ber of the Coast conference. She was dropped to such a rating along with Montana because the Coast moguls did not consider her tough enough to rate with other mem bers of the Coast grid circles. Ore gon billed this game more or less to fill out the Ducks’ schedule. Complexion Changes But in the space of a few weeks, the whole complexion of the con test changed. And now with the game only two weeks away, it begins to look as if Pacific coast grid honors, or at least a sizable dish of honors, might hinge on the outcome of this game. Idaho to date has not lost a game. The Vandals have beaten Oregon State, 13 to 0; Gonzaga university, 26 to 12, North Dakota State, 27 to 0, and tied Washing ton, 12 to 12. Today they play UCLA in Los Angeles, and if they get over this one, their bid for coast recogni tion will be in to stay. To add a little more fire to the Idaho conflagration, President Hugh C. Willett of the conference, declared last week that Idaho is eligible to represent the Coast at the Rose Bowl, even though the Vandals are only a “king’s-x” member of the conference. Oregon, too, is still definitely in the race for Coast grid glory de spite their 27 to 16 beating at the hands of Stanford’s Indians. How ever, the Ducks must get over Southern California at Portland the week Before the Idaho game. Idaho's 1938 squad is a seasoned grid troupe. It boasts 19 letter men, headed by such players as big Dick Trzuskowsky, 211 - pound tackle, and George Chrape, a rough fullback. At ends arc Tony Knap, one of three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, play ers on the starting lineup; Ray Smith, and Emory Howard. Assisting Bib Dick Trzuskowsky at tackle arc Ray Kaczmarek, an other Milwaukee boy, and Dick Therrell. Guards are Walter Musial, still another big Milwaukee gridder, Jack Donovan, and Tony Kamelc vicz. Holding down the center berth is Lyle Smith, spectaeles-wearing basketball player, who hails from Moscow, Idaho. Coach Ted Banks of the Vandals has two sets of backs which, ac cording to reports, are nearly equal in ability. On the first string is Earl Gregcjry, the tall baseball pitcher who beat Oregon, 2 to 1, last spring at Eugene; Harold Roise, a flashy triple-threater; Ed gar Wilson, liard-blockiug right halfback, and Chrape.

Three Men Form Nucleus 01 Duck Boxing Squad Whitfield, Ferris, Wood Are Leading Punch Veterans Around the slashing gloves of Robert (Smokey) Whitfield, Gale Kerris, and John Wood will be formed the nucleus of a top-notch Oregon boxing team, were the hopes expressed by Jim Dimit, Webfoot captain of the Mitt and Mat club. ‘f < if; Whitfield, who tossed the leath er at 159 pounds, Ferris, who fights at 165, and Wood, who fights at 148 pounds, will carry the laurels in the coming bouts. They will be backed up by Russell In skeep, gridiron tackle, and James Bailey, heavyweights; Don Tow ers, 148-pounder, Francis Nicker son, a scrappy 139-pounder, and Merle Hanscomb, 155 pounds. James Bailey, last year’s frosh boxer, will furnish a running mate tor towering Russ Inskeep, who will compete this year. Whitfield, Ferris, and Nickerson were the only varsity men who re ceived letters in the minor sport last year. Two Transfers These men will be flanked by Mark Kondo, 126-pound one-year man from Idaho, John Davis, 160 pound scrapper with part of a year of fighting from University, of California. These are the only two transfers on the team at pres ent. Other varsity hopefuls include such names as Stan Norris, Edwin Harding, Pete Thorne, Frank Blachly, Jack Fruit, Wayne Towne, and Wills Hughes. George Nickachos, Harvey Mc Kee, and Bob Calkins are rated as coming frosh prospects. George Warner, Art McChesney,1 Bob McChesney, and Warren Phil lips were members of the 1937-38 Willamette Valley championship team from Springfield high school and are regarded as standouts. Freshmen Named Other freshmen are Karl Zim merman. Martin Sehedler, J. Man ley, J. Winslow, B. Morrison, and John McCarthy. Mrs. Oliver Reveals Life as Coach's Wife By BUCK BUCHWACH Speaking with a charming southern drawl, Mrs. Tex Oliver, wife of Oregon’s new coach, smiled as she spoke. “To be a coach’s wife,’’ she laughingly admitted, “one must learn to live alone and like it!’’ However, she readily assented to the fact that there were several advantages, such as being in close contact with young people all the time, and meeting scores of interesting people One of the persons she specifically mentioned was Jay Oraybeal, Oregon’s flashy gridster, and incidentally the pride and joy oi ! her husband. ] Jay is a pertect gentleman, she said. “He is always smiling, i .and is always good-natured. When ever anything goes wrong, lie laughs it off and tries again.” Mrs. Oliver was brought up in Texas, which no doubt accounts for the accent. She received her high school training in Galveston, but went to Stanford for her col lege education. It was in Cali fornia that she met Tex, who was coaching a junior high school squad. No doubt it was she who offered him encouragement in his phenominal climb from that job to a coaching position in the Pacific Coast conference. Too Nerve-Wracking As for football games, tftey are very exciting, but too nerve-wrack ing for her. She watches them whenever they are played at home, E 1 m e r Williams, intramural wrestling champion and varsity man, w'ill bear the brunt of the heavyweight attack in matches. Dale Peterson, Hal Spence, Clar ence Francis will line up beside him at their respective weights. Bud Hansen, who held several am ateur championships, is a comer. Ronald Lory, Oregon State transfer, Glenn H. Carroll, Harold L. Kaschko, Bill Lauderback, and A1 Conger are promising running mates. Besides a match between the boxing and wrestling teams of Ida ho, the Oregon Webfoots plan to battle their traditional foes, Ore gon State in home-and-home matches. The Multnomah club is first on the list for next term. Several matches have been sched uled for the frosh boxers with the local Elks club.

One thing Mrs. Oliver does noi like about Tex's system is his method of coaching by telephone from the press box. “I’d rather he sat on the bench during the game so that I could see him from the stands!” she said. Referring to the recent Stan ford game, she thought that Ore gon’s mistakes, rather than Stan ford’s outstanding play, was re sponsible for the Webfoot’s loss “Oregon really won the game, bui Stanford made the most points,’ was her way of stating it. By the way, she was rooting for Oregon even though Stanford is her alms mater! Although the majority of sport writers have picked Fordham tc defeat Oregon decisively today Mrs. Oliver is not so sure. “There’s always a chance!” she said. ir^ Warren’s Determined Eleven Seeks First Win Over Oregon State Rivals By EHLE REBER One of the most determined freshman football squads to ever romp the gridiron will leave today noon for Klamath Falis, where at 8 o’clock tonight they will tangle with their old rivals, the Oregon State rooks. The first of the three-game “little civil war” series was a scoreless tie with neither team able to score. The frosh out gained the rooks both in ground plays and passes, but lacked the punch when in scoring terri | tory. Honest John Warren, portly Duckling mentor, was somewhat dubious over the results of last week’s game and consequently has worked his squad strenuously for this week’s tilt. Most of the week was taken up with play timing, with scrimmages against the var sity boys that were left home from the New York trip. Work on. Passing Warren worked on a passing at tack the last few nights and should set the rooks back on their heels with long howitzers. The frosh have been hampered very little with injuries this sea ; son.
