DUCK TRACKS ■iniiMimimminimiiiiimHmiMiimiMniiiimimiiinniiiiiiimMiiimiiuiummiiuui By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Owner of the speediest football legs on the coast is Jackie Robin son, UCLA’s halfback negro sen sation, who'll be out there on Los Angeles turf searing the Oregon Webfoots to death this afternoon. Bill Hayward saw Jackie last fall and pronounced him a streak of greased lightning in football togs. A member of the Webfoot coaching staff who scouted the Bruins this year won't let his name be used on a quotation but he says the Bruin backfield star, a first year man by the way, is “the fast est football player I ever saw,” which is really covering a lot of territory. It's no secret that Tex Oliver talked Jackie Robinson and Kenny Washington to his Ducks all week. He figures that to stop the UCLA clan means to bottle up that pair of negro flashes, and defensive practice for today's game occupied a lot of Oliver’s preparations. He gave the reserves Bruin plays, named a couple of the Dusks Bob inson and Washington, and told the varsity to stop ’em. Ycssir Mack Robinson's little brother Jackie is going to meet a lot of Webfoots today. Tiny Thornhill of Stanford goes even farther than calling Jackie the coast’s speediest and trickiest hack. In the UCLA Bruin, campus paper, he’s quoted as comparing Jackie with Red Grange and Ernie Nevers who you'll recollect are on some authority's all-time all American teams. * * * One possible defect in the Bruin offe.nse is the fact that Jackie Robinson is rarely used as a block er when someone else carries the ball. They use him as a decoy or man in motion. Won't that weak en the UCLA power when they sacrifice a blocker that way? Well, Mike Mikulak, the Webfoot back field coach, has seen Babe Morrell's gang in action and we’ll let him explain it. “They don’t need power . . . they get it through speed and decep tion.” Tex Oliver talked Robinson and Washington all week to his Orc gons, but don't go away with the conclusion he figures UCLA has a two-man team. It just means that they have to be stopped or Oregon will need a flock of touch downs to win. Kenny Washington was pretty well checked on Bay ward field last year but the Web foots were nevertheless lucky to squeeze out ahead, 14 to 12, in a movie thriller. Flash Jackie Robinson hasn't scored a touchdown in conference play nor has he played a complete game. In fact Mikulak ventured to say the boy might not play much over 30 minutes against Oregon. But the things he has done and can do in a half hour hasn’t helped Tex Oliver's sleep any. Let's let Scout Mike Mikulak tell more about the team Oregon plays this afternoon. After all it is right on top of the conference with the Ducks and a lot hinges Mlt. and .MliS. m;\\t Oregon Freshmen Smeared by Washington Babes, 19-0 Kappa Team, Phi Psi Nine Score Wins Postponement and Forfeit Listed in Touch Football By BERNARD ENGEL Two victories, a tie, and a de fault featured yesterday's intra mural touch football slate. Kappa Sigma showed a wcll balanced team in dropping Sherry Ross hall, 12 to 0; Phi Kappa Psi edged out a 6 to 0 decision over Delta Tau Delta; Sigma hall and the SAE’s fought to a scoreless tie and the DU-Sigma Chi clash was postponed because of a pledge walkout in the Delta house. Score Early One minute alter the game started, the Kappa Sigs were on the hall’s four-yard line. Sherry Ross held off this thrust but a few minutes later, McAuliffe of the Sigs threw from the Sherry Ross 30 to Lansing on the three, who carried the ball over. The McAuliffe-Lansing combina tion clicked again early in the seo ind half. With the ball on the hall Lwu, McAuliffe whipped a pass in the flat for the second touchdown. Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Tau Delta staged a wide-open battle. Rohner of the Phi Psis caught a long pass in the first moments of the second half to register six points. Although the Delta wore within sneezing distance of the Phi Psi goal twice in the last five minutes, the Phi Psis held tight. With the dormitory hoys play ing a shade better ball, the SAK Sigina hall game ended in the sea son’s fourth scoreless tie. Shackle ford of the Sigs and Lowe of the SAMs sparked their respective nines. Referees commented that tin* latter game was exceptionally clean-fought. One penalty for low blocking and an offside or two were the only infractions. upon wlmt happens oil Coliseum turf. “It's a very good elnh. II lias lots i)i speed in the liaeklield—proli alil.V the fasti's! liaeklield in (lie conference. And the line is big.” Mike oven compared the lines by positions to show that the Itriiin forwards are heavier. "They have bigger ends—a little . . . their tackles are bigger, (heir guards me bigger . . . centers are about llie same.” So think Twice before you bet, a term's tuition at 50-50 mi today’s Oregon-UCLA embrog lio.

Bob wired for us to rewrite his story but we give it to you as is and with no apologies. By BOB (LEFTY) SMITH WITH THE OREGON TEAM, Los Angeles, Oct. 27—(Special to the Emerald ) — -We had a workout this afternoon with a fair crowd on hand. L. H. Gregory of the Oregonian was there with the Los Angeles sports writers. Bobby Blenkinsop was at the train to meet us and will return with the team. We’re staying at the Chapman Park hotel, which is next to the Brown Derby (so the bell boy tells me). We stayed at the Chancellor last time but the game resulted in a tie so we moved. Looking for a hotel with victory. Had a chalk talk at five today, then dinner. At seven we went to the show, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” We never read the papers before the game but the bell hop (we should keep this boy) told me they expect a very large crowd for the game. Tex doesn’t feel that the players can benefit from reading reports on the games; on this trip, though the fellows are on the school books. Even Jay is involved with “Behind the Doctor.” John Day Officer usually sets the week end for one of our good supporters and this one is for Blenk. That pre-game tenseness is here and the fellows are ready for this game. Borrowing a term from Joe Huston that really fits. Alter preparing all details for the game we feel that “we’re set.” Girl's Volleyball Schedule Here’s the women's volleyball schedule lor the week of Octobei 30-November 2: Monthly, 4:45 p.m. Chi Omega vs. Alpha Chi Omega.

Ky AL LEKdlC Last week’s diggings didn't pan out so lint on account of the local team doing us dirt. Henceforth, and from here on in, all games played by Oregon will'not be calculated in the week’s predictions as the writ er, being blessed with more school spirit than brains, tends to pull his punches when tlie "dope” comes too close to home. So after this Oregon’s playing will not be an official part of the Dope's bucket. On the other two games last week we called them one hundred per cent exactly correct. A feat not lo be sneezed at, and if the per entage keeps up to that level, A1 will he able to enter some of the contests and walk off with some coffin nails (lire sticks to you), last week there were only three conference games, but all eight learns will be playing this week to :ry to lower a few percentages. I our I op toast 1’our out of t!ie eight conference teams have 1000 per cent batting averages this week. Two of tlnise teams will meet, an.I the other two will have an easier time of it. This is the first time that two Oregon teams have been at the top in con ference ratings, and they will fur nish a lot of tough competition for the brut hern from the north and [torn the south. Now that till tin' dope, excuses, jinxes, ratings, percentages, and information is calculated for the our games, Al has drawn his own ■onehision and has picked the lol owing tour to bo on the short 'lid of the score when the gun toes off in the last quarter, lu the Washington - Standard uno the Ca ven boy.’ with the long face • will be STANFORD. This is a homecoming game on the I’utvcrsity of Washington campus :-11<i tlie htiskie.. ate out to put the linishiiig touches on their program up there.

That m i g h t y CALIFORNIA team should start rolling one of these weekends but it’s hard to feature them starting against Uni versity of Southern California's ball packing dynamite. California has our vote to win, but not this game. In the Duck-UCLA battle, the under pup, the University of Ore gon has our vote to win so that leaves none other than the UNI VERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES to bring up the rear.

McKevitt Two Scores Result From Interceptions John Warren's Crew Makes One Drive Early in Tilt Which Ends With Fumble; Babes Show Plunging Power By RAY SMITH John Warren's frosh just didn't have "the stuff" last night. The Oregon boys threw everything they had at the Babes in an effort to stop “Pest” Welch's powerhouse aggregation, but the Wash ington eleven steamrollered to a decisive 19-to-0 victory before 3000 fdns who turned out for the night contest under the lights of Hay ward field. The frosh presented only one s< in the first quarter when thej marched to the Washington 16 be fore losing the ball on downs Welch’s squad scored twice in th< second period and once in th( fourth. Long Drive First Babe touchdown climaxec a 72-yard sustained drive down the field. Starting from their own 23 Washington moved in three play; to the 41. Then, with second dowr coming up, Pete Susnick, outstand ing player of the evening, fired s pass to Dwight Smith who racec all the way to the Oregon eight be fore being downed by safety mar Butch Nelson. Susnick made it over in three plays from there Try for extra point was blocked. Both other scores came as the result of pass interception. Just before end of the first half, Bot Friedman intercepted a Duckling pass on the Oregon 32, and carried it back seven yards to the 25. Su sick plunged to the five in three plays, and then passed to left half Casimir Pomanek for the second touchdown. Carl Falk booted the extra point to make the halftime score, 13 to 0. Frosli Lads Fire The frosh attack seemed to lack the necessary fire for real scoring punch. At that, they out-first downed Washington 10 to 7, how ever, they could never make yard age when it really counted. The Babes scored their final touchdown in the fourth quarter. Mark McCorkle, fullback, inter cepted one of Louis Baum's short, flat passes and ran 52 yards down the east sidelines into pay dirt. 3regon smeared the attempted conversion, but the 19 points were more than enough to win. Last night’s score was exactly the same as that of the Frosh rook game played in Portland two weeks ago. The Ducklings will re WANTED: Girls for wait ress work at the Anchor age.
