DUCK WOWS fill . . .
Whether coaching Washington,
State's baseball team or in the
press box seouting football games
for the Cougars, massive Buck
Bailey is worth any price of admis
sion.
Buck earned his coast’s funniest
funny man reputation in Eugene
by kicking water buckets into the
first base bleachers during base
ball games. Washington State even
budgets money every year to pay
Buck's water bucket-kicking an
tics.
But the vociferous one kept the
press amused Saturday during the
> Idaho game by thinking out loud.
For instance: “The big horse got
him—he’s a horse that guy,” said
Buck once when big Dick Trz.us
kowski, Idaho’s booming 214-pound
left tackle nailed another Oregon
ball toter.
Merle Stoddard, Vandal reserve,
dropped back to his own JO-yard
line. “What’ll he do Buck,” some
one questioned. “He may kick a
long high spiral—or he may kick
it straight up,” retorted the clown
from Pullman very seriously. To
the whole Idaho team once:
“Throw a long one if you’re going
to throw it.” He didn’t whisper
things like that, no sir, Buck
shouted apparently in a vain at
tempt to influence the quarter
back.
In one of his more sane mo
ments, Buck praised Idaho’s Har
old Roise, triple threat left half.
“Roise is a good ball player;
they’ve got a good team when he's
in there but not when he isn’t.”
Roise’s talented toe work; on
punts was enough to make him a
standout. His first boot went 54
yards and out of bounds on the
Oregon nine-yard line. Then he
hit the four in coffin corner terri
tory, and capped it with another
inside the 20 by one yard. To
prove that the first three weren't
flukes, Hal later kicked another
out on the Oregon eight.
Buck Bailey was in Eugene
scouting Idaho because Babe Hol
lingbery's Cougars of WSC play
the Vandals in Moscow this week
end. It was no secret either why
Hal Moe, Oregon State’s backfield
scout, was watching Saturday's
game.
# * #
“Your ball club was too good—
especially the backfield,” was
Coach Ted Bank’s comment soon
after Oregon had whipped Idaho
.Saturday. He added "you had good
hard running backs like UCLA.”
Counting Saturday’s I!) to (> Ore
gon Homecoming defeat, Couch
Bank’s Idaho Vandals have won
four, lost two, and tied one as a
conference king's-X team against
such opposition as Oregon State,
Washington, UCLA, North Dakota
State, Montana, and (lonz-aga.
But he was dubious about
Idaho’s last three games against
Washington State, Utah State col
lege, and the University of Utah.
Said he about the two larger
schools, “they’re two tough teams'
—we’re riddled by injuries. We
had too tough a schedule with ten
games.”

Trainers Trounce
Mopey Managers
Decisive Victory Is
Posted; Final Tally
Controversial
For another year, the Trainers
hold the touch football champion
ship of the Igloo basement. Bob
Officer's Kubbergorkies retained
their title by whipping the Man
agers Sunday morning on a frost
covered varsity practice field.
But that isn't the big argument
in the Igloo basement at present.
The big argument is the score. The
Managers, with Mouthpiece Eddie
Thomas doing the talking, contend
that it was 19 to (1 in favor of
the Trainers and this is the exact
score under any set of rules but
the John Day conference rules.
Under these rules, upheld by Bob
Officer, the mighty Trainers won
66 to 6. According to the way he
interprets the rules, and he’s the
only one who knows them, a touch
down by his team is 18 points and
a conversion two points, while a
score by the other team is only
6 points.
Proselyting Charged
Tho Managers further claim that
they won by default, because Offi
cer reached far afield to proselyte
Art Holman, an ex-track star, to
play, and play a big part he did.
Officer played a big part on de
fense himself. It was through his
side of the defense that the train
ers scored their only touchdown.
The big stars, however, for the
trainers were Bob Parke and Vino
Hod Hansen. Hansen scored two
ot the Trainer goals, and Parke
was termed a triple-F man by Offi
cer. It seams that Parke's strategy
was to fake, fumble, and fall down.
Thomas admitted after the game
that he was the star of the Man
ager squad, although it was Bob
Engleke's one-handed catch that
brought the only manager score.
Vouch Bill Hayward was the
only one of the Trainers who would
say nothing concerning the game.
He remained non-commital, let
ting Officer do the yammering.
1 iuti’h Schultz, and Johnny il
was sensational) Lindblooiu coin
plated the Trainer club.
Dutch Kohwer, a boy who is
e,»i'd by Coach Hayward as a po
tential trackman. Maury (We was
robbed) Stein, Frank (Thin Man)
Meek, and George Arbueklc stood
by for the Managers.

King’s-X Win Over Idaho
Boosts Rejuvenated Team
Back on Victory Trail
| Oregon's Webfoots returned to the winning track Saturday after
noon with a smashing display of blocking that nearly swept Idaho
off Hayward field and gave them a 19 to 6 victory over the valiant
Vandals from the Inland Empire. It was Oregon's third victory in
; six games for the season.
! Webfoot fans who had seen a travel-weary and battered Webfoot
| crushed by Southern California the week before marveled at the
, rejuvenation shown hy coach lex
Oliver’s team. Xml those who had
; never climbed off the Oregon band
wagon despite three successive de
feats, cheered at the Oliver magic.
Some eight thousand fans were
in tlie stands, and a goodly portion
I of these were Oregon grads, ath
letic stars of former years, back to
watch the Webfoots roll in the
feature event of Homecoming
weekend.
And the big Duck team did roll,
after a late start which saw the
Vandals off to a second quarter
touchdown.
A few minutes? later, the Web
foots were again fighting with
their backs against the wall, after
Roise's kick rolled out of bounds
on the Oregon eight.
Off to the Races
And right there, the big Oregon
team began to click. On the very
first play Bob Smith cut off tackle,
and with his mates opening a hole
in ttie Idaho line and mowing down
potential Idaho tacklers like a
binder in a wheatfield, he broke
into the open to run 92 yards for a
touchdown.
Jimmy Nicholson jumped off the
Oregon bench following- this turn
of fortune, and quickly kicked the
extra point.
The half ended, with the score
still < to t> for Oregon, but when
the third period opened, the Ducks I
were on the move again. Oregon!
scored twice in quick thrusts. But'
Doth scores were called back and i
Oivgon penalized.
Oebhardt stepped through a big.
hole at guard on a fake reverse
and ran 34 yards for the Duck's i
second tally. Nicholson missed the
conversion, the first one he had
missed all season.
>uk inns (,,> lards
1 be final Oregon score came in
tl\o last period and was set up by
Jimmy Nicholson's brilliant bo
yard run. Jimmy let one of Roise's
kicks go through his arms on Ore
gon's 31, promptly picked it up
and cut to the right, galloping all
the way down to the Idaho one
yard line as Webfoot blockers
cleared every Vandal out of Jim
my's path except lend Kmory How
ard. it was Howard who knocked
Nick out of bounds on the one.
Ted Gebhardt plunged over from
the one-yard line, but Nicholson
again missed the kick.
A sad feature of the ga..:e was
an injury to Tony Knap, brilliant
Idaho end who had to be carried
off the field with a spinal con
cussion.
Impressive on the Oregon club
was every member of the Oregon
line, headed by a pair of spectacular
ends, Larry Dance and Don Mabee.
Lance was a rock defense, and
Mabee ran over 100 yards on end
around plays. The new backfield
combination of Frank Emmons,
fullback; Nilsen, quarterback, and
Ted Gebhardt and Bob Smith,
halfbacks, was both effective and
colorful.
ELLIOT WILSON
A rangy, 225-pound center, who
made the all-Nebraska high school
team for three years, has won a
berth at the pivot position in the
frosh clashes.
The big six-foot four-inch cen
ter gained the all-star spot for
two seasons at the center position
and one year at tackle. The 'boy
from Alliance in the corn state
was recruited to the Sigma Nu
house.
His teammates tied once for the
western Nebraska championship,
(me year they tied for the mythi
cal state championship.
Last year they were undefeated
and tied but once during their
schedule.
Wilson played center and for
ward on the basketball team. His
school team romped through with
the westJrn Nebraska district rec
ord and went to the state play-off
two times in Wilson's prep career.
He also tossed the discus and
javelin through the ozone on Al
liance’s track crew.
The Duckling recruit claimed
that his most exciting moment
came in a tilt with Bridgeport, Ne
braska, when he intercepted a
pass anil galloped 77 yards for a
touchdown. Incidentally. Alliance
won the game by a score of 10-0.
Wilson declared that he likes
Oregon 100 per cent better than
the dust bowl.
! Ducklings Drill
|For Final Chance
At State Rooks
Injuries Take Toll
On Warren's Line;
Shift Probable
By EHLE REBER
With their third and final game
of the season set for Friday after
noon on Hayward field, John War
ren’s fighting Duckling football I
team started their last week of
intense drill before the Rook in
vasion.
Warren sent his boys through
offensive drills last night in round
ing up a smooth running attack for
Friday’s encounter.
The frosh have suffered losses
this season to the University of
Washington freshpen, played in
Seattle, 6 to 0, and one game to
the Oregon State Rooks, played at
Klamath Falls, 7 to 6. The first I
skirmish with the Rooks was
fought to a scoreless deadlock at1
Portland. The Duckling eleven
trounced Southern Oregon Normal
school earlier in the season at
Grants Pass, 26 to 13.
This weekend will be the last op
portunity for the Ducklings to !
even the “little civil war” series,
which the Rooks now lead with one
win.
Loses Three Men
Warren has lost the services of
three of his regulars for the tilt, i
Ed Moshofsky, big tackle from
Beaverton, is out for the rest of
the season with an injured knee.
Walt Lidstrom, talented end from :
Bend, is also out with a bad knee j
injury suffered in practice last |
week. Val Culwell, former regular
left tackle, has been out for sev
eral weeks with a stomach ailment
and will not see action this week
end.
Lcn Surles, hefty teammate of
Lidstrom’s while at Bend, has
taken over the tackle job and is
showing up well for the starting
nod.
Bernie McCudden is holding
down right tackle with Bob (Red)
Davis and Ray Segale taking the
guard posts. Elliott Wilson, lanky
center, still holds the all-important
center position.
Ends Show Well
On each end of John Warren's
forward wall is Hymie Harris, 185
pounder from Seattle, and Bill
Regner of Portland. Both have
been showing up well in practice
and will probably start at the ends.
Warren has intimated that he
may shift Steve Fowler, Ashland
athlete, from blocking back to full
back. which, if he did, would put
shifty Duane Anderson, ex-Eugene
high quarterback, at the signal
calling spot. It will probably be
between Dominic Giovanini and
Duane Anderson for the starting
nod at quarterback.
Roy Dyer and Doug Caven will
fight it out this week in practice
for the starting honors at left half, I
with Bill Jensen or Laverne Van1
Harter being at the right wing'
back. I
Paul Rowe Stars
On Canadian Grid
Paul Rowe, former Oregon star
line plunging fullback, starred in
Saturday’s game between the Cal
gary “Broncs” and the Winnipeg!
“Blue Bombers" for the Western!
Interprovincial football union '
championship, with spectacular j
open field running and line plung- |
ing. "
Rowe plays for the Broncs, and
in spite of their 12 to 7 loss, turned
in the outstanding performance of
the day.
A run of 23 yards to the Bomb
er's 12-yard line by Rowe, put them
in scoring territory where on the
next play he scored standing up.
He also place kicked the extra
point.
Two field goals late in the third
quarter gave the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers the margin of victory.
Rowe, who played in the back
field for Oregon last year, and:
was one of the outstanding Web
foot backs, was injured at the first
of the season, being forced out of
several of the Broncs’ first games.
The second game of the total
point series will be played at Win
nipeg next week. The team having
the most total points at the end
of the series wins the champion
ship.

Rose Bowl, took undisputed pos
session of first place in the Coast
conference standings Saturday.
The mighty Trojans bowled over
the California Bears and by doing
so became the cnly unbeaten, un
tied team of the conference. Just
S5.000 fans watched the Howard
Jones crew battle California in the
Los Angeles coliseum.
The convincing fashion in which
the Bears were put to rout, makes
the USC team a possible contend
ed for the New Year’s day classic.
The Trojans have two remaining
games to play with Washington
and UCLA.
Uclans in Third
Thus Southern Cal occupies the
initial slot, and by their 13-to-7
win, dropped Cal down to second.
The Uclans moved up to third when
they battered Washington State
into submission with a 21-to-0 vic
tory. Fourth placed is equally
shared by Oregon and Oregon
State. The Beavers had a day of
rest while the Webfoots took the
non-conference Idaho Vandals into
camp, 19-6.
Washington’s Huskies ~ finally
broke into the win column, when
they met and conquered the Stan
ford Indians, 10 to 7. Tftis loss
dropped Stanford out of fourth
into fifth, with the Huskies on its
heels in the sixth position. Holding
down the tail end, the Washington
State Cougars have gone through
the season thus far Without a sin
gle win.
The Huskies will try to make
this a really successful season bj

Beaten by Alums
Saturday, November 5, on the
Gerlinger field, the undergraduate
girls’ hockey team was defeated
2-1 by the superior graduate team.
Although it was the alums’ first
game this season they showed
much more skill and ability, and i
played a fast scrappy game. .The
undergraduates, however, didn’t
give up easily and showed plenty
of spirit.
The scores were evenly dis- .
tributed throughout the game with
the grads taking the lead in the
first quarter when Naomi Mosh-~^
berger, 1930, made a goal. Good,
fast, superior playing brought the
second goal, again made by Miss
Moshberger. E d y t h e Sprague
scored the undergrads’ only point.
( The graduates taking part in the
game were Lucile Murphy, 1932;
