In fact people were al most calling it a “breather.” On the evening of October I, these Zags had just lost their sec ond consecutive game—to St. Mary’s. (First defeat of the Bull dogs was at the hands of Washing ton State). Yes, things looked pretty black for Fuggy Ilunton’s l>oys but they did a surprising and abrupt about face to smash Texas Tech, 6 to 0, and Idaho, IP to 0, on the next two Saturdays. Well, this certainly did change the complexion of the Oregon game, for now fans had to admit that the affair loomed as a natur al. Oregon, too, did her share to excite fan interest by doing the impossible—smashing the Califor nia “Big Three” of Southern Cal, Stanford, and California on suc cessive weekends. Now, one thing is certain. These Zags will give Oregon just about as tough a game as the Ducks would wish. The Oregon coaching staff knows this and has prepared for it. The outcome of the game may depend on many things, but this writer feels that it depends on the mental attitude of Tex Oliver’s gang. If those Webfoots go out and play ball like they can, we can’t but see an Oregon victory. But if they don’t. If they enter tain any delusions about this Gon zaga team, and think it is a soft touch, well, look out. For the Zags, this is the high spot in their season. If they win, they’ll have publicity galore and plaudits a-plenty. If they lose, so what? * * # “They’re snappy, fast, and they go places"—that’s the way Eric Waldorf, frosh assistant coach who scouted the Gonzaga-ldaho game last week, describes these up-and coming Bulldogs. Waldorf, by the way, thinks Oregon will have to score twice to heat l’uggy Huiiton's hunch. That means that he expects Canadeo, Hare and company to get away for one touchdown. Look for these numbers to stand out in the thick of the fray today: 0 It belongs to Tackle Jim Bry ant, the 236-pound behemoth who is just about two-thirds of that Gonzaga line. 13—Tony Canadeo wears this number. He's the ace triple-threat er. 27—Ralph Sehlosser, 200-pound pivotman from Seattle claims this number. 33—Ray Hare, one of the Sheri-1 dan, Ore., Hare brothers, wears this one. 4—Cecil Hare, fullback, chose this numeral a long time ago. * * *1* Short Shots . . . Wonder il' John Warren's frosh have forgotten their press clippings and decided to pla.v ball? One of these days big Frank Kmnions is going to break into the clear, then watch him. Frank, you know, was one of the best high school sprinters in the state, back in 193(1. Krnic Robertson and other Ore gon linemen say little Bud Nestor is the best lineman on the coast, pound for pound. It’s too bad Nes tor doesn't |>ack another 20 pounds . . . The third annual Mauager 'J'rainer f<Hitball game is scheduled for Sunday morning on John W ar ren’s mudflats. Frank Meek and Kggert lloliwer, head managers, will name the officials, just to make th<‘ result positive. “Bulldog” Bob Officer, head trainer, is squawking loudly but apparently to no avail. * * * Frank Spratt, (lie Oregon quar terback prospect who didn't return this fall, had a good reason for not doing so. in fact he had $22j-per month of reason, plus an immediate advancement. Spratt, according to Buck Berry and Jim Harris, brother Califorui uns, is working for a light and pow er company down south, and in two months will be sent to Frisco to a higher office. Although a business man now, Spratt still loves and has time for football. He managed to get down to Los Angeles to watch Oregon tie Southern Cal, and w as lie delighted. But let Berry tell it: “Frank came down to our dress ing room after the game, and he just hugged us and laughed and laughed. He was so happy, he w.t just bubbling.” Spratt came to Oregon l ist spring after beiug co-captain of Pasadeua Jaysee.'s greatest football team. Undoubtedly he v. ould ha - betu Vt help to leg ugd tui outfit, but, 1 Olivermen Make First Hayward Field Appearance Today Regular Duck Lineup Will Open Clash Zags Hold Wins Over Texas Tech And Idaho (Contmucd from page one) A couple of Hare brothers will be in other positions in the back field, at right and fullback respec tively. Ralph Schlosser at center is the standout in the line, from all reports. Same IJneup Listed The Olivermen will probably open the game with the same line up that started against the Bears last week in Berkeley. Dick Horne at left end, Jim Stuart at left tackle, Ernie Robertson at left guard, and Jim Cadenasso at cen ter. In the right side, its Captain Ox Walden, Merle Peters, and Vic Reginato. Denny Donovan will open at quarter, with Jay Graybcal and Johnny Berry at the halves and Marshall Stenstrom at full. Bob Smith may be a starter, as may Roy Dyer at half. This lineup indicates that the headman is taking no chances on an early score by the fast Bulldogs. He intends to keep these same men in the game until there is an acci dent or until the Ducks score. A lot of passes seem to be the order of the day, for most of the week was spent in perfecting an already good overhead attack. Amphibians Pick Members Twenty-Eight Are Chosen as Fall Tryouts End By MARGARET DARE Twenty-eight new members were chosen by the Amphibian club as the fall tryouts were completed last Thursday. A double-stunt dive, executed by Ruth Hall and Joanne Haohlen, along with the high average piled up by Florence Jackson in diving, were the highlights of the final tryouts. Vicky Sandner completed forty yards in 25.5 while Janet Farnham came in only two seconds behind. Vicky also showed originality in choosing tlie butterfly breaststroke in the form competition. There will be one more tryout at a later date for those whose vaccinations took so hard that they were unable to compete. The new members are: Mary Anderson, Marion Barret, Adele Canada, Marilyn Christlieb, Flor ence Cooley, Jane McCurdy, Joyce Coffee, Miss Earl, Janet Farnham, Miss Finlinson, Mary Jane Ford, Mary Ann Fox, Mary Lee Fry, Ruth Hall, Jeanne Haehlen.

Dallas, Wetmore Lead Strong Duck Swim Squad In Northwest Title Chase By BEN MCCARTHY Dallas, Wetmore & Co. appear to have a tip-top chance of winning the northern division Pacific coast swimming championship, • These iwo watorboys will lead a team of veterans that will be decidedly strengthened by the addition of several of last year's fresh man stars. The biggest help to the tank squad is expected to come j from Jerry MacDonald, erstwhile freestyler and an exponent of the unorthodox in swimming. MacDonald created a minor sensation in intramural swimming last tall and was well on his way to repeating this year when his team was elim inated. Fust Trio Those in the know feel that the medley relay team of Dallas, Wet more, anti MacDonald will be a cinch to anihilate the coast record for the event. The composite times of the three swimmers adds up to three seconds less than the present standard. Dallas and Wetmore are almost certain to better their record-shat tering performances of last sea son in their individual events. These two Oregonians are rated near the top in national college circles and their potentialities arc unlimited. Rafferty ltd urns Among the returning veterans are Fierce Mallory, Tom Starbuek, dim Marnie, and Dick Smith, all freestylers of very high caliber. The boys are all print exponents except. Smith who covers the 220 and 110 courses, dark Dallas will receive most ol' his accompaniment in breaststroke from Ralph Laf l'ertv. Rafferty is a star in his own light, although he was overshad owed last season by the exceptional Dallas. Promising sophomores in addi tii n to Jerry MacDonald are Jerry Mueslis, baekstroker, and Bill W einnman, freestyler. Weinmnan is a former San Francisco Olym pic club swimmer and comes up with a lot more experience than the average aspirant to the team. Iluestis May Help 11 nestis, a Eugene boy and a member of last year's frosh team, is a coming backstroke star. While not expected to threaten the stel lar Wetmore, Jerry is coming along fast and in a year or two should be up with the best in his style. Ralph Cathey, A1 Sanders, and Bob Range are the divers of the squad. The three are evenly matched and should really put on a battle among themselves for the starting positions. There are two regular positions on the squad and each of the three boys wants one of them. The boards at the pool are already getting a heavy-duty pounding by the boys. Washington at Seattle will open the season for the aquatic Web foots, and the team hopes to use the Washington boys as a stepping) stone to the northern division title.

Last Sprint Gives Tong Victory Powers Captures High Mqn Honors With Two Firsts By JIM SCHILLER With the intramural swimming title ringing on the results of the last race, the Alpha Tau Omega team came through with a victory yesterday afternoon over the Beta Theta Pis. The win in this 120 yard free style event made the ATO’s margin of victory, 27 to 20. Throughout the whole meet, the score was close with neither team able to gain any noticeable advan tage. In fact, the lead changed hands twice during the course of events, and the score was tied once. Crowd Is Tense The Tau outfit received a bad break in the 120-yard medley relay event when Powers slipped and fell into the pool just as he was about to swim his leg on the race. The first leg of the race was even, and so Powers’ mishap cost his team almost a quarter of a lap. Because this match was for the championship, five minute rests were allowed between each event. During the rest period before the last and deciding event, there was a noticeable tenseness hanging over the entire crowd. Powers Is High Scorer High scorer for the meet was Powers of the ATOs who redeemed his accident in the medley relay by winning first places in both the 40-yard breaststroke and 60-yard individual medley event. ATO 27, Beta 20 40-yard free style: Allen (A), Dallas(B), Tooze (B), 20.0. 40-yard backstroke: Finke (B), Hochuli (A), Livingston (B). 25.2. 40-yard breaststroke: Powers (A), Steele (A), Dallas (B). 24.9. 120-yard medley relay: Beta first (Finke, Craig, Tooze). 1:15.9. 60-yard individual medley: Pow ers (A), Craig (B), Finke (B). 40.1. 120-yard free style relay: ATO first (Fugit, Boone, Allen). 1:04.6.

Of these about 2,100 are dailies. 10,800 are weeklies and the rest are semi-weeklies and tri-weeklies. On these papers there is usually one person who thinks that he can predict the results of football games, and a great many who try to pick the winners. Rather than be one of the “run of the mill” it will be our solemn purpose to pick the losers. No percentage, no rat ings, no secret formulas will aid us in picking the losers. Just our skill in sensing the underdog will be the deciding factor in our choice. Don't Solve for X The underdog has been talcing a beating long enough and now is j his chance to howl and get howled about. Of course there is an an cient and dusty old Arabic for mula that could be used to pick the winners with the losers given, you have to solve for x, but it is iur purpose to give you the team that comes off the field with fewer touchdowns, more touchbacks, and .he smaller score.

Battlefronts include Seattle, with Oregon State mo\ ing in on the Washington Huskies; Berkeley, with Washington State meeting the Golden Bear;; and Eu gene, where the Oregon Webfoots pull into a tough kings-ex clash against the hungry Gonzaga Bulldog. After meeting three of the toughest teams in the country, the Eugene squad must now face a team which comes with a weight advantage, a marvelous kicker, and has nothing to lose. Tony Canadco does the Gonzaga punting, and his 60-yard boots look very impressive alongside the pres Scrimmage Features Frosh Drill Washington Babes Next on Duckling Schedule Tough scrimmage between the freshman first and second teams was the order yesterday of Coach John Warren as the blistering pace of workouts of the past four days was continued. Intensive blocking drill was de signed to smooth out the glar ing rough spots shown by the 19 to-0 defeat at Oregon State rooks’ hands. With the Washington Babe game one week away, fundament als were the order of the day. Warren Works With Backs Eric Waldorf took charge of the ends, Joe Huston, the guards and tackles, and “Honest” John Warren, the centers and backs. Warren claims poor blocking and tackling were responsible for the poor freshman showing against the rooks. Wayne Nelson, quarterback from Salem, was out of uniform with a slight cold. Louis Baum, left half back, also missed the scrimmage session. Babes Are Tough The second contest of the season, the Washington Babes, on Hay ward field is expected to be tough. Seattle reports indicate that the Husky Babe aggregation will be one of the strongest elevens in their school history. Standout of the Washington at tack is Ira Brin, 240-pound tackle from Portland's Jefferson high school. conference games on the coast. On second thought they probably should not be called pickings be cause they will be on the bottom, so this week's “diggings” will be those teams the first off the field after the winner has headed for the showers.

After trimming her “city cous ins” at the University of Washing ton by a single touchdown, Wash ington State moves into a toss-up encounter with California, which team lost to Oregon by a touch down last week. California is a slight underdog; she has not won a game so far this season. Wash ington State trimmed Gonzaga to wreck a long-standing tradition, but has shown only fair stuff. Those who have seen her declare she has a spark if she once gets going.
