DUCK TRACKS ■mnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiitiiiiiniiniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiimMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiniiii By ELBERT HAWKINS . ..What Ihe score won’t be . . . Here’s a sample of how compar ative scores work as a basis for prognosticating. Simply trace the scores out by the round-robin method—and then bet heavily on what the score won’t be. For in stance: Oregon 28, California 0. Oregon 0, California 18. There we have the extremes, but don't stop at that. Take a more conservative one which gives Ore gon a 13 to 7 victory over the Golden Bears. After figuring ev ery possible combination, the num ber of these inereasing rapidly by the week, you draw a list of these scores and call them predictions. | To win, you bet your last dollar that the score won’t be any of that list. It’s easy money. Why Oregon 28, California 0? The Wehfoots beat UCLA, 14 to 12, UCLA walloped Idaho, 33 to 0, and Idaho by a score of 12 to 12 tied Washington, which held Cali fornia to 14 to 7. .. Oregon 0, California 18? USC beats Oregon, 31 to 7, and Cali fornia, 13 to 7, hence the 18 point margin. Oregon 13, California 7? The Bears beat Washington, 14 to 7, didn't they? And Oregon de feated Idaho, 19 to 6, the Vandals deadlocking with Washington. There you are. * * * Mike Mikulak scouted and watched both Southern California, and Oregon’s opponent of this Sat urday, Stub Allison's Golden Bears of California, and came away with the conviction that the Bears were a superior team. Then his ideas were shattered Saturday by a powerful Trojan team that pushed Cal to and fro with apparent ease. It indicates, however, that Mike respects the power of Cal’s de fending Rose Bowl champs. Possi bly the Southern California defeat took a lot out of the Golden Bears. Then, too, maybe Tex Oliver has steamed up his Wehfoots by read ing them "digs” from Bay city writers who call them everything from a “powder-puff” ball club to "a set up for the Mills College bloomer girls.” Enough to spur Oregon State’s heads-up Orangemen to a defeat of Stanford in the Corvallis Home coming game Saturday was one braip-ehild which called them “nothing but a lot of beef on the 1 oof.” Coach Howard Hobson brought back reports from Washington's 10 to 7 win over Stanford that in dicate that Oregon is going to face some very eapabte, pesky Huskies next Saturday. “Vou can’t underrate them,” lie cautioned. “They’ve got lots of sis&e and speed, and are apt to cut loose and turn in a good ball game against anybody.’ Thi‘ Washingtons are well bal anced in passing and running, ac cording lo Hobby, and are a much better ball club than their record indicates. Stanford, he reported, seemed a little less organized, and played only spotty ball. “Probablj as good a kicker as there is on the coast is .linimic Johnston,’ lie suggested, “Wash ington using kicking to fine ad vantage against Stanford." Washington clearly outplayed Stanford in the first half, but Tiny Thornhill's Indians rushed back in the second half to almost reverse the tables. The Husk) running at tack showed well in the curly min utes, while their defcusc, held the Indians to one first down for tlic whole first quarter, according to Hobby. Oregon's scouting twins, llobbx Hobson and Alike Mi kulak will (iixidc duties this weekend, one mapping Oreogn State's progress against Stanford, the other mi grating northward to Seattle for one last look at the Huskies against Southern California.

The diminutive Pendleton flash, who has sparked Oregon’s gridders every time he has entered a ball game, is still suffering from a knee ailment incurred in the Ford ham game. While his mates are carrying on against the powerful Bear, Gray ucai win ia; nimv. i Coach Tex Oliver hoping to have him ready for the Washington game in Portland next Saturday. Just before the Oregons boarded a south-bound train yesterday, Coach Oliver made two changes in his traveling party. He left Mel Passolt, guard who has an injured side, at home, and added Halfbacks Duke Hankinson and Steve Ander son. Passolt Lieft Behind Oliver’s move in leaving Passolt in Eugene cuts the list of guards to four, Nello Giovanini, Bud Nestor, Ccce Walden, and Ernie Robert son. Anderson, a boy who is equally at home at cither the left or right halfback position, will aid Bob Smith and Dave Gammon at the right halfback post if relief is' needed. Californians were still picking their ball club by at least three touchdowns as game time neared on the Berkeley campus. They pointed to comparative scores to arrive at this conclusion. Oregon lost to Southern Califor nia's mighty Trojans by a 31-to-7 score, while the Bears bowed by 13 to 7. Starters Set The same eleven gridders who opened and played most of the win ning battle against Idaho’s Van dals will probably be on tYie field when firing starts Saturday. At times in the Idaho game, this eleven clicked, and Coach Oliver has spent most of the week work ing with this squad. Hard-hitting Larry Lance, and i the light-stepping Don Mabee, both reserves at the start of the season, seem to have won the starting end berths. Bill Boskett and Elroy Jensen at the tackle posts, Nello Giovanini and Cece Walden at the guard berths, and A1 Samuelson at tire pivot position, all are set for tin-' opening kickoff. In the backfield, fiery Dennis Donovan, the Portland Irishman, has been working with the first string all week, and seems to have gained the nod over steady Hank Nilsen. Otherwise, the backfield is set with the combination of Bob Smith and led Gebliardt. entrenched in the halfback spots working with I1 ullback Frank Emmons, the j Beaverton Buster.

Gamma hall had no trouble with Delta Tail Delta, because they won two in succession, 15 to 2, and 15 to 4. Zeta was lucky in taking a close 16 to 14 win from Delta Up silon in the first encounter, but were able to relax while winning the second, 15 to 5. Sherry Ross, themselves lacking one man, trouced the Yeomen four man squad, 15 to 3, and 15 to 8.

First Time This Year .The Oregon frosh footballers* show before home-town fans for the first time this 'year this afternoon, meeting the Oregon State rooks on Hayward field. Above are two of the boys who make Coach John Warren’s backfield click. On the left is Steve Fowler, hard-blocking fullback from Ashland, and on the right is Dominic Giovanini, brother of the: varsity’s Nello. Giovunini plays quarterback. These Golden Bears Are Tough They aren’t the same Bears who won the Pacific coast conference title in a walk last year, and then cleaned up on Alabama in the Rose Bowl, not by a long shot. They haven't a pass throwing, long kicking, and hard-blocking Sam Chapman to tide them over the rough spots. Nor have they a Jelly-Belly Meek on hand to batter down opponents, nor a Perry Schwartz, all-American end, nor a center like Bob Herwig, nor a pair of guards to match last year’s crack duo of Claude Evans and Yard Stockton. At Right End Vic Reginato . . . he’ll team with Lance in Berkeley battle. Varsity Hoopsters ! Continue Fast Pace i Eastern Invasion to Take Basketeers to New York Howard Hobson's 1931) basket tossers are definitely rounding in to shape for their eastern debut early this season at Madison Square Harden in New York, w here they play City College of New York December 17. Fast passing to strengthen ttic wrists took up most of last night’s practice as Hobson's lankly leather loopers went through their antics. Slim Wintermute, one of the tall est centers on the coast. Laddie Sale, northwest scoring ace, Bobby A net, tricky dribbler, Wally Johan sen, tricky dribbler and ball handl er are four of the 1937 northwest champions back to repeat again this year. Karl Sandncss. last year s frosh ■tar. is slowly getting into condi tion, alter suffering from a knee injury at the start of the season. Ted Sarpola, Oregon's Hank Luisetti, is also slowly getting his :\ves focused on the netted loop ind is expected to bo one of the upstanding candidates to fill the post lott vacant by the graduation jf Dave Silver. Porky Andrews, Arelue Mar sink, (Please turn to fee t tree) But make no mistake, tnc Bears of 1938 are still plenty tough. They may have lost to a strong Trojan club, 13 to 7, last week, but they previously walloped UCLA, St. Mary’s, Washington State, Washington, and Oregon State. Yes, the “Top Sarge,” as they call Headman Stub Allison down Berkeley way has a ball club de spite all the ballyhoo of gradua tion losses. Bottari on Hand In the backfield, he still has Vic Bottari, the Vallejo Venetian whom many consider all-American, and the hard-hitting Dave Anderson at fullback. Both of these boys were big factors in the success of last year's team. And he has found two new stars, Triple-threater Louie Smith and Bill Elmore, a canny quarterback, to team with Bottari and Ander son. "Top Sarge" has a line which averages only 178 pounds, but in that line are three of last year's "immortals" End Willard Dol man, and Tackles Dave DeVarona and Bill Stoll. At center is Dave Queen, a chunky sophomore. At right end is Morley Mathewson, another sopho more standout, and at the guard posts are Tommy Ray and Bill Plasch. And then, of course, Stub Alli son can call upon his veritable army of reserves. PLAY BOX BALL WIN FIFTY DOLLARS the prize for a perfect score Kvcrv fellow anil jzii'l Iuin a rliamw to \\ in !!

Roy Dyer .RH.Bill Jensen F .Bill Brenner By EHLE REBER Honest John Warren’s injury-riddled Ducklings battle their traditional foe, the Oregon State rooks, today in the final tilt of their annual three-game series on Hayward field, with the starting whistle scheduled for 2:30. Coach Warren started the season with one of the strongest and heaviest crews to play for the frosh in many seasons. In juries have necessitated frequent changes in his regular lineup, however. In the first game of the season the frosh proved their power by trampling a supposedly strong Southern Oregon Normal school team 26 to 13, in a field dedication at Grants Pass. Ducklings Beat SONS On October 29, the Duckling drifters played the University of Washington freshman team at Seattle in a 60-minute battle which the Babes won 6 to 0, after a clos ing minute rally by the frosh failed just short of pay dirt. Frosh mentor Warren will prob ably start Pat Smith and Bill Reg ncr at the end posts in today's clash. Regner, 195-pound Portland boy, played an outstanding game in the first scoreless tiff at the Rose City. Len Surles, who replaces Culwell at left tackle, will start his first game at a regular berth, with Bernie McCudden, 190 - pounder from Oregon City, at right tackle. Davis to Start Bob Davis, line backer upper, will join the line at left guard and Ray Segale, dependable Seattleite, will take up the right guard post. At center, there is a battle be tween Elliott Wilson and Les Thompson for the starting call, with a slight advantage going to Wilson, who has started several previous games this season. Wil son is one of the tallest men on the squad as well as one of the heaviest. He tips the scales at a mere 220 pounds. One of Warren's biggest prob lems all season has been to pick a starting backfield combination from a group of experienced men, all of whom are practically of the same caliber. Anderson May Open Duane Anderson, Eugene signal caller, may get the starting nod over Dominic Giovanini because of his showing in practices this week against the varsity. Donn Clickard, rough blocker from Redmond, has been making the boys sit up and take notice this week and is an other probable choice at the back field pivot position. Warren will choose his starting TOMHILL’S llllllli!illllUII!lll|lllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIllllililll!IIUUIIIIIlllllllk Try our famous llot 1 Hogs on your next g trip north.
