I DUCK TRACKS By GEORGE PASERO, Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald There’s one thing about these California writers you just have to admire—they speak their minds when they feel like it and don’t mince words. Whether the result is an article like Will Connolly’s "Pardon the Yawn” or a bit of Dick Hyland's biting comment makes no difference. What matters is that out of these so-called masterpieces may come a bit of progressive thought and action. As far as yours truly is concerned, there is too little factual re porting in the football world, and too great a tendency to hide some of the "rather smelly" stuff under a cloak of publicity copy that treats only of the bright spots. Dick Hyland Speaks His Piece So at the risk of raking over cold ashes, we quote from Dick Hyland’s column, “Behind the Dine," which appeared in the Los An geles Times following the Oregon-UCLA game. "A by-play of the Coliseum game came when Robinson took a look at his field as he sped down the sideline on his 82-yard gallop, saw his junior college rival, Buck Berry, in front of him, shifted into the overdrive, and went on by. As Berry lay on the ground, a Bruin ran off the bench and said something to him. Berry jumped to his feet and challenged the entire Bruin bench. What is more, he had a right to do so. That Bruin who ran off the bench to jeer at a falle nloe was a poor excuse for a football player. He had a right to be happy, but not deliberately and obnoxiously so in the face of an unfortunate opponent, Berry of Oregon with a great football heart. “There Was No Dirty Work’’ “While on the subject of sporting things, let’s come out in the open on rooting sections that smell so bad you get whiffs of them clear across the field. "On a line play Sommers did a fine bit of football work. He banged the man after him out of the way and dove at Smith, the Duck back. He stopped Smith but did not get up. It was then the childish ones in the Bruin rooting section chanted, "Who’s doing the dirty work?” They proved among other things, how little of the game they could see because no one but Smith and another Bruin was in on the play. Afterward Sommers said, "I hit him with my shoulder, and he was going so hard he bent me back, and it got a nerve. That’s all it was.” "There was no dirty work. There was no dirty work earlier when Washington hit an Oregon man so hard he hurt his own shoulder. The only dirty work shown at the Coliseum last Saturday was shown by the Bruin rooting section. “Joe Bruin’s in the Big Leagues Nov/’’ "Isn't it just dandy that a fine group of decent Oregon lads come to Los Angeles and return to Eugene with the knowledge that they played a hard, clean game and the rooting section of the University of California at Los Angeles brayed out loud that they played dirty football. It indicates some education along lines other than scholastic is needed at Westwood. “You’re in the big leagues now, Joe Bruin, so grow up instead of sitting smugly in the sun insulting better men while Robinson, Wash ington, Strode, Bartlett, Wynne ar.d a few others represent you and Win football games.” Yes, this from a Los Angeles sports writer, who will give credit where credit is due, as past columns have shown. Remember, however, that Hyland would have blasted Oregon or another team had he felt it warranted a tirade. Just a Good Meal Forty-nine pounds of juicy venison is a lot of deer meat to most people, but to Oregon’s football team and coaching staff, it's just enough for a swell banquet. Yes sir, 44 of the Oregons consumed that amount. Sunday follow ing the Gonzaga game, and that averages slightly better than a pound per person. The Oregon footballers still lick their lips and talk about it, and the man they thank for making it possible is C. A. Winetrout of Grants Pass, father of Sophomore Tackle Art Winetrout. It seems that Mr. Winetrout, Sr„ had exceptional luck on his hunting trip this year, bringing back a 285-pounder and a 185-pounder. So he decided to treat the hustling Oregons, and did those Webfoots enjoy it! Incidentally, Mr. Winetrout’s big buck was one of the largest ever to be killed in the southern Oregon region, so the footballers tell me. Good Deal, Eh, Pete! The announcer was wrong, the yell leaders were wrong, and so were the fans, for Merle Peters did not start the WSC ball game Saturday. Yes, it was all very amusing, especially to Peters and those who were smart enough to catch the error, it rates laugh-of-the-week honors. You see (those of you who didn’t see Saturday), Peters had been ailing all week with previous football injuries, and Roy Jensen started at right tackle. The announcer did not catch the change in the lineups and started Peters, so when he did spot Jensen in that Oregon line, he naturally called the substitution, Jensen for Peters. The yell leaders immediately called a yell for Peters, and all during the rahs, Peters was enjoying a hearty laugh for lie had never left the Oregon bench. It’s something to tell the grandchildren, eh, Pete! Short Shots From the Firing Line Stevie Anderson’s 34'--yard jaunt to touchdown territory was just about the best piece of running by an Oregon back this year . . . One of Hollingbery’s fourth-quarter substitutions was Lee Orr, the trackman who whipped Mack Robinson in those great sprint duels on Hayward field two years ago . . . Western International league aver ages show Wimpy Quinn in sixth place in batting . . . lie hit a rousing .330 . . . The big boy was last in fielding, though, among third basemen of the circuit. If there’s one player who will be playing for keeps Saturday against those Beavers, it's Pinky Donovan, Oregon's smart signal caller . . . Three years now, Pinky has had to bow his head, and for an Irishman like Pinky, that’s really tough. Last week, we called Bob Smith "all-coast," and after that WSC exhibition, we known darn well we were right . . . Maybe that Seattle inspiration is at the bottom of things . . . They tell me Frank Emmons, that smashing fullback, is quite a singer . . . all-the-same Dick Todd. For Mr. Tex Oliver's information, in case he still doesn't read the Emerald, the sports page has been kept clean of "Rose Bowl" all year . . . yes.

Golf Singles Play Reaches Semifinals Goodwin, Stott, Anet, Engelke Win Matches By BOB FLA VELDE Four men won the right to play in the semi-final round of the golf singles tournament. Bob Goodwin, who won by default from Huckle berry, plays Bobby Anet, who de feaed George Smith, 3 and 1. In the other bracket of the semi-final round, Jay Stott, who won a close match from Pasero by a 1 up score, plays Bob Engelke, who qualified by beating Larry Quinlin, 2 and 1. The ping pong doubles tourna ment also went into the semi-final round as the team of Anderson and Patton nosed out a close decision over Bill Moxley and Bob Stafford by the scores of 21-18, 21-17, 15-21, 21-19. They will meet Bob Rudolph and A1 Shaw who won by default from Smith and McCliment. The other semi-final will see the Martin Coffey-Pat Riley combination meet Frank Baker and Steve Fouchek. Fouchek and Baker qualified by beating Bob Nagle and M. Huf ford, 21-13, 21-12, 21-17. Second Bound Ends In the tennis doubles tourna ment the second round was com pleted and play went into the semi final round. Larry Mullin and Paul Livesay meet Don Lewis and Dan Trask in one-half of the bracket. John Sherman and Ehrman Mc Faddin play Steve Fouchek and Frank Baker in the lower half. Handball reached the quarter final stage this week as Joe Ama to defeated Buzz Baker, Emil Ek won from Freeman Sinclair George Corey beat Wes Petrie, Paul Collins beat .1. Stafford, H. Lowe defeated Bob Smith, H. Evans won from Townsend, Willie Williams routed Thompson, and Elmer Olson defeated Bob Merry man. Handballers Win The schedule of the quarter-final matches reads: Amato vs. Ek. Co rey vs. Collins, Lowe vs. Evans, Rivals Miss Signals, Both ' Underdogs A slight inconsistency was noted in the stories of the Ore gon State and Oregon publicity departments yesterday on the annual grid rivalry between the two schools Saturday. Oregon State's publicity went like this: "For the first time in three years Oregon State’s football team will be the underdog in the big game with University of Oregon at Eugene Saturday at 2 o’clock. "On the basis of comparative scores against Pacific coast con ference opponents the Webfoots have a decided edge.’’ Oregon pre-play publicity ran in this fashion: "The Beavers’ offense, sparked by a v e r s a t i 1 e, hard-running backfield, will be just as hard to stop, and the Staters will have a weight advantage amounting to around ten pounds per man. "Despite the facts and figures which point to the Staters ex tending their three-year winning streak, the Webfoots give them selves a fighting chance to turn back their traditional rivals." Looks like both teams are try ing desperately for the underdog role. What can Gus Q. Fan be lieve ? Williams vs. Olson. In the handball doubles tourna ment Smith and Corey beat Petrie and Lowe, 21-10, 21-11, and won tlie right to play Williams and Amato in the finals. Williams and Amato defeated Conrad and Rob ertson. 21-3, 21-10, to qualify. The bowling tournament saw Adams, Jamieson, Meldrum, and Marinates survive the quarter-final round by defeating Buekman, Cook, Childs, and Petrie, respec tively.

With the set to put on an exhibition of rough and wild play. It was not until a minute before the final whistle blew that Lafferty was able to throw in the winning tally in a wild melee under the I Phi Delt goal. The remaining min ute of play was really a hectic af fair with the Phi Delts vainly at tempting to tie up the game on long shots and the SAEs trying to keep possession of the ball. Phi Delts Score First The Phi Delts scored their first point in the first skirmish after the contest began when a long lob shot got past the SAE goalie. SAEs then proceeded to score twice but both were discounted for rule infractions. During this pe riod the outstanding player in the pool was the Phi Delt goalie, Len man, who made difficult stops time after time. Finally the SAEs put through their first marker, and it was followed by a Phi Delt score just before the half ended. Most of the game the Phi Delts were on the defensive, keeping all of their men except the two for wards surrounding their own goal. Their strategy was successful in that they forced the SAEs to shoot ADPis Win In Coed Play Taking its revenge out on Tri Delt, ADPi actives trounced the Tri Delt delegation, 32-25, yester day at Gerlinger, as University Co-op and ZTA downed Alpha Chi Omega and the ADPi pledges.
