DUCK TRACKS ■niiniiimimmimimiuiiiimiiminiiinmiuimminiimiMmmiiimimuiiHiininm By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Da fly Emerald A 60-mlnute afternoon of coast conference football is some chore for anybody’s lineman, but Tex Oliver has a pair of varsity Web foots who don’t lack much of play ing every second of Oregon’s three game rush against Southern Cal., Stanford, and California. The joint ironmen of Oregon’s unbeaten football squad arc Guard Ernie Robertson and Tackle Jim Stuart. Those boys lost only seven minutes out of a possible 180 and that was all against the Trojans when Oliver matched Howard Jones strategy by sending in a bevy of reserves at the same time. So Robertson and Stuart have two consecutive 60-minute after noons behind them. Says Ernie about it: "You get plenty tired.” But think of the unfortunate fel low Webfoots who work on the second team behind Robertson and Stuart. Art "Big City” Winetrout, the 208-pound left tackle substi tute, and Ray Segale, 195-pound left guard, get most of their thrills esthetically—from the bench. * * * Publicity Man Bruce Hamby has figures to prove Oregon will walk on the field against (ion/.aga Sat urday outweighed definitely and conclusively. Coach Puggy Hun ton’s Zags hold an approximately five-pound edge in the backfield, hitting about 190. In the line it’s a virtual tie at 199 pounds al though Oregon has about an eight ounce per edge per man if you want to be technical. And there's another field where the Bulldogs will hold an edge if games to date mean anything. Thanks to Tony Canadeo, who boots ’em 60 yards, the visitors figure to outkick Oregon. During the past three seasons or so Web foot football teams have been so ragged you couldn’t pick out any one deficiency and harp on it. It was either one side of the line, the center of the line, pass de fense ... or something. Tex has pretty well boiled that down now. When the Webfoots bent Wash ington, 3 to 0, last fall it ended a virtual three-year drought on shut outs for Oregon ... a boon to de fense. And this season statistics show Oregon pass defense ranks with any on the Coast. But there lias liecn a deficiency in Oliver’s punting department so Kugeneians are wondering if any Duck hooter will lie able to mutch the toe of Tony Canadeo. Theory of Eric Waldorf’s (he saw the Zags against Idaho): Gon zaga’s new coach has developed more power in the Bulldog offense off tackle than did Mike Pecaro vich who didn’t do so badly him self. So it means that Ironman Jim Stuart and dependable Merle Peters are due for some interest ting fun Saturday. Five members of Oregon’s coaching staff, Vaughn Corley, Mike Mikulak, Eric Waldorf, John Warren, and Hobby Hobson are available for scouting duty any time Tex Oliver need's some team covered . . . the latter two are only on the emergency list and it's all really done by Mike, Vaughn, and Eric. Interesting note: After one of the brain-busters scouts a future Oregon opponent he's on the Web foot bench a week later to watch Tex Oliver’s crew against that team ... very logical. For instance, Mikulak watched UCLA against Stanford, so he’ll be with the Ducks when they play the Uclans. From Toledo, Oregon, comes word that Nello Giovanini is going great coaching that coast town's high school footlNill team. The former Unbeaten Ducks Await Fourth Test Here Saturday - Gonzaga to Field Tough Aggregation Oliver Continues To Work Oregon Team Overtime By BAY FOSTER Tomorrow afternoon under sun ny skies or in the Oregon “mist’ the home fans will have their first opportunity to see an Oliver tean that hasn't lost to a California team this year. They meet as for midable an opponent in Gonzagf as any big team would like tr meet on their day off from confer ence play. The Gonzaga Bulldog invade: Hayward field with their best tean in several years. After a slov start, while losing to Washingtor State 19 to 0 and then to St. Mary’: 13 to 0, the Bulldogs came bacl with a bang. Trimmed Texas First a strong Texas Tech baru from Lubbock, Texas, fell befori the angered Bulldog 6 to 0, am then a heavily favored Idaho tean | fell by three touchdowns, 19 to 0 I and had two others scored tha 1 were called back. If these "Puggy” Hunton coachei Dogs arc in the same frame o: mind to run up a score upon th< unsuspecting Ducks, a wild am woolly game will result. All eye: will turn to No. 13 on the Zaj. eleven. This belongs to a 180-poum southpaw, one Tony Canadeo. Canadeo was about all a coact could ask for in the Idaho game I His aide is a 206-pound junior Ray Hare, at the right half post, ! Both can pass, kick, and run witli the pigskin. Tough Line Standout in the blue and white line is a 215-pound center, Ralph ( Schlosser. He is a line backer su preme. Two watch charm guards, Wendy Feldhahn and Jake Schell, have been outstanding this year, according to the Gonzaga Bulletin, campus daily. I I Heaviest man on the field Satur day will be Jim Bryant, a 236 pound tackle. His running mate is Seaton Daly, a mere 205. The Zags will put on the field the heaviest team the Webfools have met this year. The line weighs in at 199 and the backfield at 197. This compares almost to the pound with the weight of the Ducks. In the Oregon lineup Saturday the only change from a week ago will probably be the two heavy halves, Bob Smith and Johnny Berry at opposite half posts. Roy Dyer will probably see an early entrance nto the game. The regu lar, Jay Graybeal, may be saved somewhat for later battles. Yesterday Oliver had another day of hard football scrimmage. There has been little chance for a letup for his team this week if lie lias had anything to do with it. A ehalk talk was held in llie phys ical education building last night. A final light workout will put the team in the right frame of mind for the game tomorrow. Mike Mikulak left on the train last night for the South again, and another look at the UCLA team, this time against Montana in Los Angeles. Webfoot found townspeople and his own players predominantly “on the Oregon State side" when tie arrived there a month ago.

McCarthy, a long, bespectacled freshman, comes from a school! noted for producing national champions and Olympic swimmers. The school West Catholic high school of Philadelphia. j They have been national Catholic champions, city champions, and state champions since 1930. In 19.17 i ' they missed, the national Catholic t 1 first by a narrow margin. McCarthy won his favorite, the '• 100-yard event in March 1939 in | :f>5.8 in the national Catholic meet. ' ) At the Lehigh open (anyone can 1 I enter), the lanky swimmer raced I‘ to victory in 55.2. ! - At Rutgers 1 Next on the list came the Rut gers invitational meet. There Mc Carthy turned in his best time of 1 :55 in the high school class for the 100. West Catholic has monopol ized tlie Rutgers meet for throe years. Last year gave them the trophy for keeps. Ben swam anchorman in the winning four-man 200-yatd relay at ttie Rutgers meet. Time was 1:04.2. West Catholic scored 5C points to win. Hartford high school of Connecticut was second with 19 ; points. Ben's teammates, Bill Hooper andWalt Kelly, won the 100-yard event at Rutgers in 1957-38, re spectively. McCarthy's victory ; made it three in a row. Both Hooper and Kelly are con sidered the outstanding Olympic prospects in the East. Kelly held the world interscholastic record in the 100 and Hooper in lire ltd free style." said McCarthy. East Different According to McCarthy, the system is worked differently in the East than it is in the West. In the East one goes to high school, then to a year or two of preparatory school before entering college, l’rep school is not compul sory. Most of McCarthy’s teammates’ went to Mereersburg prep school. There they get the best of care and training. Mereersburg is the present national interscholastic champion and was given two page - in a recent issue of "Life.” Ben was going to the school hut he changed his mind and came to Oregon. From Hartford higli in Connecti cut is Dave Tyler of Metcershurg who holds the world interscholas tie record of ..>2.8 for the 100 yards m a. 25-yard pool. This beat..

'arthy's best effort of :05 by 2.2 1 leoonds. Tyler is now muscle-bound , nd can no longer swim. "Lou Mays really works a man,” leclared Oregon’s greatest swim uing prospect for the 100-yard vent. "If you loaf a few minutes, rou usually aren’t entered in the text meet. "A swimmer usually is entered n GO meets each season in the East ompared to the six or seven sched iled per school in Oregon,” added McCarthy. Betas, ATOs Reach Donut Swim Finals ATOs Reign Slight Favorites; Fijis, Phi Delts Lose By JIM SCHILLER Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Tau i Omega will clash this afternoon at 4 in the men’s pool for the intra mural swimming title. The Betas won their place in the finals -yes terday by downing the Phi Gamma Delta team by a 30 to 17 count, while the ATOs triumphed over Phi Delta Theta, 28 to 19. The Fijis were unable to cope with their opponents in the breast' stroke, backstroke, and medley events. On the other hand, the ATOs showed supremacy over their Phi Delt foes in practically every respect but the free style events. 1 By a comparison of times, the ATOs should go into today's fray a clear favorite.

It’s all set. They’ll cavort for Rubenstein’s Furniture company and face the best teams in the northwest. Suits were given the boys at the Igloo last night, and official practice begins 2 New Donut Sports to Start Touch Football And Water Polo On Schedule The 1939 intramural water polo and touch football matches are scheduled to start Thursday, Octo ber 26. Bad weather delayed ten nis play-offs and forced managers to move the opening day up from Monday the twenty-third. The football teams are organ ized in three leagues of six outfits each and two leagues containing five squads apiece. Each league will play a round-robin schedule; the winning team in each league is to participate in the play-offs. Points are to be awarded on a basis of two points for a win, one apiece for a tie and nothing to losers. In case two teams in the same league tie for the league pennant, a play off game will be arranged by in tramural Director Rollie Dickie. Overtime periods will be allowed only in case of a tie in a play-off game. Intramural water polo will be on a straight elimination basis. As far as possible, Director Dickie has arranged the schedule so that playing dates are not likely to overlap on the football schedule. Water polo victors during the last two years have been the Sigma Alpha Epsilons. The Yeomen cap tured the touch football cup in 1936; the sport has not been on the schedule during the interven ing years. next week. Dave Silver, all-coast Oregon forward of two years ago, will be the fifth man of the club. Big Dave, a law student at the Uni versity, will take the place of John Dick, only member of the cham pions who did not finish his three years of competition. Flashy Uniforms Although they will not again wear the familiar suits and warm ups of Oregon, they’ll not lack in flashy dress, for their sponsor has fitted each player with a special outfit. Description of the new outfits ' is difficult, hut suffice it to say that even Coach Howard Hobson, the Webfoot coach, was a mite astonished. Said Coach Hobson to Max Rubenstein last night: “Why didn't you order one of those for me, too?’’ The warmups are of green and gold design. And on the back of each player’s jacket is his name. Their Honors Outstanding feature of the uni forms, however, is not so much the design, but a red, white, and blue arm shield which designates all coast and all-American players. Bobby Anet, captain of the cham pions, Laddie Gale, and Winter mute wear the all-American insig nias, while Dave Silver and the dashing Wally Johansen sport the all-coast badges. Then, too, the numbers that made Oregon basketball famous throughout the nation will be seen once again. Johansen has his 32 on the back of his jersey, Anet his 20, Wintermute his 22, Gale his 28, and Silver his old 34. According to Dick Strife, Regis ter-Guard sports editor and one of Dickie Urges Sports Play t Participants in ail-campus sports are urged by Director Rollie Dick ie to hurry with first-round match es as results must be posted by this coming Monday or the low man in each bracket will be con sidered as defaulting and the high man moved into the semi-finals. Draws for opponents are posted on the bulletin board inside the 15th street entrance to the physi cal education building. Each play er is personally responsible for contacting his opponent and ar ranging games. With 61 entrants signed up, ta ble tennis has set a new high for number of participants in any all campus sport. Last winter 49 pad- | dle-pushers competed. November 6 will see final dou bles in play-offs in golf, tennis, and handball. Slated for November 13 are finals in bowling singles, golf singles, and table tennis doubles. Singles in tennis and handball will close on November 20. the team's chief supporters, the Rubenstein Oregonians, as they have been named, will play the Universities of Oregon, Washing ton, and Idaho this season. First game this season will be around November 1, probably with the 1940 Oregons. More than 150 high school boys and girls will be on the campus to day and tomorrow. Show them the University. Delta and Delta Delta Delta in the three out of five games scheduled. Theta I, potential challengers for the title, came through its first game in championship style riding over Alpha Xi Delta, 41-37. At half-time Theta was leading by one point. In the second half Alpha Xi Deltas tied the score several times, but were finally overcome in the last minute of the battle. The co-op really shellacked ZTA, 53-8, in a one-sided fight while Tri Delts bowed to the powerful Su san Campbell second team delega tion.
