DUCK TRACKS ■uwiiiiiiiiimimiimiiiiinmmim'mmiinmiiummmiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiuiuuinuan By ELBERT HAWKINS Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Little Jay Graybeal and Lefty Bob Smith, the Pendleton Jack rabbit and the Medford southpaw, they’re called the “touchdown twins” in these parts, and a more valuable pair of footballers you’ve probably never seen. A thumbnail sketch of their joint four-year careers at Oregon —for they’ve done it side by side —reveals a string of gigantics that would provide a full length movie thriller. There was Lefty Bob's 92-yard scrimmage run against Idaho last year, and Jay’s 90-yard punt re turn against Arizona, and . . . but let’s first see just how valuable these seniors have been to Ore gon. Three years on the varsity and one great year on the frosh team, and my own little tabula tion gives them credit for either scoring or passing for 173 of Ore gon’s 354 points during that time, almost half the Webfoot scoring. Tabulated: J-B Ore. 1936 . 51 88 1937 . 54 114 1938 . 19 69 1939 .49 83 Total .173 354 A Two-Man Hurricane In baseball terms they call that “batting high.” Jay is possibly the greatest football “opportunist” this school ever had, and Bob has come through with the greatest defensive and offensive ball of his career during the last three weeks against UCLA, Washington State, and Oregon State to become a dis tinct all-coast possibility. Jay’s will-’o-wisp size of 150 plus pounds is the only reason he never played 60 minutes of var sity football. He didn’t play too much as a sophomore and Tex Ol iver used him mainly as a “shot in-the-arm” last year to play dur ing those psychological moments when he could go in and score in a hurry. This fall he earned a starting spot, but still ^couldn't reach the ironman class. But that touch of Graybeal greatness—we think he's one in a million—enabled the rabbit to score or threaten to score on the best teams Oregon played since 1936. We’ll qualify that state ment with a bit of history. Jay Graybeal scored against all five teams John Warren’s north west championship frosh team played in 1936. He scored 45 points of the team’s 88 points and was just 33 ahead of the second scorer. He scored seven touch downs and converted three times. Jay Fooled Everybody As a signal caller he was so un predictable the enemy never could figure him out . . . and Jay had Coach Honest John scratching his head, too. He created a great buzz in coaching circles by calling a pass play when the frosh were camped only six inches away from the rook goal line with first down and four chances ... he ' fooled ’em, too, and Jay caught a flat pass from Bob Smith in the end zone. In those sophomore days he scored touchdowns against every conference team Oregon played except three and the team was blanked by two of ’em. The other was Oregon State, and Jay had a 69-yard touchdown punt return called back against the Beavers. His touchdown runs that sea son were: 90 yards against Ari zona and Tex Oliver, 46 and 10 against San Diego, 16 against Washington State. The Smith-to Graybeal pass duo scored against UCLA, Stanford, and Southern California in addition to that, and Jay’s point total for his first var sity season was 42 points. Lefty Bob Smith scored twice. Tex Needed “The Twins’’ Let’s highlight their junior years. Oregon 14, UCLA 12 . . . Jay passed to Gebhart for a score. Oregon 16, Stanford 27 . . . Jay ran 56 yards through the whole Indian team. Oregon 19, Idaho 6 . . . Bot Smith ran 92 yards on a cut bach off tackle. Their great freshman days an Three of Cal’s Top Notch All-Around Junior College Stars Play For Oregon By LEN BALLIF We have three of southern California's foremost all-around jun ior college athletes in our midst at Oregon, but until now their ver satility has remained shielded behind closed doors. Willie Reynolds, Dick Horne, and Jim Harris are the boys, and all three of them are piling all over each other in order to land a regular end position on Tex Oliver's football team. Dick was started in the California game by Coach Oliver purely tor the purpose or Kicaing on, and kicking off alone, but his play was so brilliant that Hymie Har ris had to wait for 10 minutes be fore Tex pulled young Horne in favor of the heavier Hymie, who hung onto his first string posi tion only after an afternoon of fiery playing. Lacks Poundage Harris and Reynolds, along with I^ome, found themselves handi capped by a lack of weight, but they all have what they describe as that “Ol’ Cal spirit” that is supposed to be worth anywhere from 10 to 40 pounds of anyone's beef. (Which is open to argument on either side.) Willie attended Pomona high school and followed through at Pomona junior college, where he played football, basketball and baseball. He was chosen on the all - Southern California Junior college grid team, and gained the distinction of being the highest scoring guard in the basketball conference. Korne and Harris, playing on Compton J. C.’s team, first met Reynolds when they played against each other three years ago. Willie Dances Reynolds has been referred to as “The smoothest pigger on the football squad” by that eminent authority on pigging, Harry Berg tholdt, which is indeed an honor. Willie shyly admitted after much coaxing that his success was due to his smooth California style of dancing, coupled with a pleasing personality. (Plug) Jim Harris weighs a mere 175 pounds, but coupled with the afore mentioned Cal spirit, has man aged to make veteran Vic Regina to step hard to retain his first string supremacy. Jim’s plain and fancy demonstrations on how tc catch a pass were the talk of the town during spring practice last year. Reserves Important The first string players usually get all of the credit for the team's worth a full chapter in somebody's football book. Frosh 6, Oregon Normal 7 . . . Jay recovered a fumble over the goal line for the only Duckling score. Frosh 26, SONS 0 . . . Jay ran 35 yards around end to score. He passed to Vic Reginato who ran 38 yards for a touchdown, and he took one of Bob Smith’s heaves for another score. Lefty Bob ran 05 yards for the fourth touch down. Frosh 18, Rooks 0 ... Jay scampered 80 yards to pay dirt in the second quarter. He passed from his own 23 to Bob Smith (Lefty Bob) who ran 39 yards. Lefty Bob Heaved Both Frosh 13, Washington Babes 7 . . . Bob Smith heaved both touch down passes—one of them was to Jay Graybeal, of course. Frosh 25, Rooks 0 . . . here's the four frosh touchdown passes. Smith to Donovan, Smith to Gray beal, Smith to Lance, and Gray beal to Reginato. And this year the touchdown twins have again been wreaking havoc in enemy scoring territory with some of their flashiest and most exciting plays . . . just a couple of friendly chaps who love the game and know what to do and when to do it. It was Smith's pass to Berry that tied Southern California, 7 to 7. It was Jay’s 10 points that beat Stanford. It was Jay who passed to Reginato for one touch down in Oregon's 12 to 7 Gonzaga defeat. Bob Smith scored Oregon's lone touchdown in the 16 to 6 UCLA defeat. And it was the Smith to Graybeal pass com bination that scored once dn Ore gon State and set up the other score, enabling the Ducks to al most but not quite trim the Stat ers . . . but you know all about that.

Phone .08 Sixth and Charneltou St. success, but much of the credit should go to the men on the sec ond and third string who absorb a terrific amount of pounding in or der to acquaint the first-stringers with plays taken from their op ponents-to-be signals, as well as spending long hours on the de fensive acting as test tubes for the new plays the team uses. To this category these three Califor nia youths belong at present. They all have another year of eligibility except Reynolds, who played against Idaho last year and therefore lost a year of eligi bility. However, Willie will be back again next year, and plans to live a life of leisure while Horne, Harris, and of course, Buck Berry, uphold the honor of California's junior colleges.

Always before, there were but three, but with the advent of the freshmen to the squad, there are a full 55 or more in suit. Another lengthy scrimmage was held last night, with the four teams all meeting each other in rough and tumble practice. The newly acquired frosh showed up well on defense against the “sec ond” team. Two of the linemen stood out above the rest for their stellar play. Louie Butkaavich, the big rug ged end on the frosh, kept muss ing up the plays for the Yellow team, until Tex had two men on him most of the time. Right next to him was John Bjork, husky tackle, who made it hard for the offense to keep out of the play. Iverson Shines In the backfield combination for the frosh, one man outdid the rest in backing up the line. This was Duke Iverson, Oliver's prize catch at full to replace Frank Em mons next year. Duke looks tough to get out of the way and he is. He tips the beam at an even 200 pounds. In one yellow team were Steve Anderson, half; Roy Dyer and Don Mabee, halves; Bull Stenstrom, full; and Chet Haliski, quarter. In another combination was the combination of Len Isberg at half; Steve Fowler, full; Buck Berry, half; and Denny Donovan, quar ter. There are 20 of the frosh still practicing football, this time with the varsity, so that these seem to be the ones that will stay on the squad the rest of the year. In cluded are Withers, Stromberg, Iverson, Bjork, Dallas, Vulkevich, Olive Butkaavich, Crish, Shep hard, Bujan, Ell, Bodner, Baum gardner, Baum, Bowman, Rob ertson, Sweikert, LeClair, Gen nette, and Davis. —— 11- IMHIAI.il CHARLES LAUGHTON in “JAMAICA” plus “Heaven With a Barbed Wire Fence” with JEAN ROGERS Hit No. 1 “THE RETURN OF THE FROG” (The mystery sensation) Hit No. 2 “THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET” with Tod Slaughter THBEE MESQUITEERS • iu “New Frontiers’’ plus ‘Espionage Agent’ with JOEL McCREA ANNA NEAGLE GEORGE SAUNDERS in “Nurse Edith Cavell” Orides Scuttle Alpha Phi Team Independents Try For Kappa Scalp And Championship Orides trimmed the formerly unbeaten Alpha Phi lassies to an nex its league title by 14 points, 28 to 14, in coed play yesterday.

With two minutes to go in the game, the Sig Eps were again pinned on their own 20. A 15-yard penalty for cross body blocking set them back to the five where Jack Waits kicked to his own 40 to check the Sweetheart advance for one down.
