Tex Oliver’s 1940 football team is beginning to take shape this week
an the VVebfoots hold their first real scrimmage workouts on the turf
behind McArthur court. ‘Although it is a little early to pick our best
xneu,” Tex said, “we are able to see just what most of the plajers are
capable of."
This year’s team, the Heaviest in
many seasons, will be based main
ly on last fall's reserve and frosh
players plus a few transfers. Two
outstanding transfers are Roy Rob
in/. from San Mateo Junior College
and Hal Johnson, a Marin J. C.
player.
Transfers Good
Roblin. a left halfback, showed
plenty of driving power and good
defensive ability in last night's
/scrimmage.
Another good backfield prospect
from the transfers is little Hal
Johnson. Johnson is the smallest
man in this spring's backfield. tip

turned out for spring ball at Ore
gon la3t year but was severely hurt
when he collided with big Fran!
Emmons and was unable to play
for the rest of the year.
Baekfield Picked
“Mighty Mike” Mikulak looked

Coed Chatter
By NANCY LEWIS
Coed sports take a backseat as
exam week moves into the foie, but
a glimpse into the future foretells
promising spring term activities.
Intra-house softball, golf and
tennis will all crown a champ by
the end of a spring term. Last
year’s champions will have a hard
time repeating. Orides, who prac
tically have a monopoly in the
field, annexed the softball compe
tition last year, Betty Lou Kurtz
and Barbara Bamford reached the
finals in the tennis tournament,
but have yet to flip the coin for
the final decision. Golf last year
saw no champion take the laurels.
This year's golf should see some
stiff competition with several new
stars registered on the campus.
Mary Thatcher announced at the
WAA banquet last night that
there will be a cup for the 1940

blessed with more material for his
line than he has had in many
moons, had a little difficulty in
finding his outstanding candidates
but after looking them over de
cided that the center spot would
probably be handled by Wilson, Ja
cobson or Dallas. Wilson and Ja
cobson are both from the '39 var
sity while Dallas comes up from
the frosh. For guards Vaughn has
Ray Segale, Bob Davis, Bodner,
and Culwell. Segale is the only man
at the guard post that has ever
seen conference competition; Bod
ner and Culwell are both playing
with the varsity for the first time.
Out of seven possibilities for the
end post Corley picked Dick Horn,
Jim Harris, Bill Regner, and Hy
mie Harris as the probable regu
lars. All of these men have had
varsity experience. At tackle will
be Moshofsky, Series, Terry. Ash
com, and Bjork with, of course, Jim
NOTICE!
Doc. Near, golf team captain
and coach, has called a meeting
of all varsity and freshman
prospects at the College Side,
Tuesday night at 7:30.

Oregons Must
Win to Hold
Title Hopes
Huskies, Beavers
Clash at Seattle
In Crucial Games
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
Everything depends upon the
outcome of tonight's and tomorrow
night’s games in Seattle and Pull
man, Washington, as far as Ore*
gon* and Oregon State are con
cerned. The results of these four
games will decide the northern di
vision basketball representative
against Southern California, sou
thern division champions.
Should Oregon State boom
through with two wins over Wash
ington on the Washington floor—
a thing no team other than the
Oregon champs have been able to
do for six or seven years —• the
Beavers would clinch the northern
division title.
Should the Huskies wallop the
Beavers once, then all Oregon will
need is two victories over Wash
ington State to tie Oregon State
for the championship.
Dick Moves Up
If Oregon and Oregon State
should fall into a tie for first place,
then a playoff would be necessary
before the coast championship
series.
Captain John Dick jumped to
within one point of Bobbie Lindh
for leadership of the northern divi
sion individual scoring race, by
making 19 points Wednesday night
against Idaho. Dick has 156 points,
Lindh still needs 35 points to
break the scoring record set by
I Laddie Gale of Oregon in 1938,
