Duck Tracks
By BOB FLAVELLE, Co-Sports Editor
Oregon’s first game of the year,
with the San Diego Marines to
night, was originally booked as a
limbering up contest to get the
Webfoot athletes in condition for
the strenuous Pacific coast confer
ence competition. However, after
watching the big red Devil Dogs
go through their warm-ups yester
day I am not sure that the game
can be taken with any amount of
casualness by Oliver's boys.
Lt.-Col,. Elmer E. Hall brought
three complete teams north for the
contest tonight and each one of
the players is the possessor of a
build that would do honor to a phy
sical culture advertisement. His
men are not huge, but they are all
big and in the peak of condition.
When attired in their brilliant red
uniforms with gold shoulder stripes
they look like a picture book team.
Tackles Outstanding
Tex Oliver’s “mystery" team is
no mystery as far as who will be
in the starting lineup, but when it
comes to rating their ability
against tough competition, they
must be rated in the dark horse
class. The starting line will aver
age well over 200 pounds, and in it
will be two tackles of all-star po
tentialities. Jim Stuart at left tac
kle has already proved his ability
by being named all-coast after last
season’s play and Roger Johnson,
225-pound transfer, on the other
side of the line will give the oppo
sition plenty of trouble.
Oregon will present a veteran
starting backfield in Isberg, Halis
ki, Berry, and Stenstrom that will
crowd the 200-pound average
mark. Buck Berry has added pass
ing to his gridiron talents, and i3
ready to blossom into a triple
threat star for the Webfoots.
Double-Decker System
The Devil Dogs use a double
decker system of substitution with
two full teams alternating through
out the game. If there is any need
for individual replacements at any
stage, the relief men are taken
from the third string reserve squad.
Lt.-Col. Hall says he has no first
string, but chooses his starting
lineup after the coin has been
tossed, and he knows whether his
team will receive or kick-off.
Most of the Marines are young
men straight from the ROTC units
from colleges throughout the coun
try. The majority of these players
never engaged in intercollegiate
competition. However, several of
their stars have already made foot
ball history. Harold Roise, former
ly of Idaho and Johnny Ryland,
center of UCLA fame are two for
mer collegiate threats. Roise is the
lad who had quite a hand in upset
ting the strong OSC squad a couple

Duck Captain Today
Jim Stuart, all-coast tackle who will lead the Webfoots tonight
against the rugged football crew from San Diego Marines. Stuart
was appointed game-captain yesterday.
of years back when the highl$ tout
ed Aggies traveled to Moscow and
were handed a 7-6 defeat at the
start of the season.
Huskies Favored
Although this is the first Satur
day of Pacific coast football, there
are several games on tap that
promise to give the experts quite
a headache after the day of play
has been completed. Outstanding of
these guess-and-pray contests is
the Washington-Minnesota game
back in Minneapolis. The Huskies
have been boomed as the Rose Bowl
team by the majority of scribes
both in the east and west, but that
does not alter the fact that chanc
es are glowing for an early season
Huskie defeat by the Gophers.
With a veteran team that includes
the great back, Dean McAdams,
and center Rudy Mucha, Washing
ton will be meeting in Minnesota
a team that is equally well splat
tered with veterans. The usual
horde of Gopher reserves are lack
ing this year, however, and because
of that, Washington should beat
the Midwest crew this year if they
are ever going to.—Washington by
a shade.
Harmon to Play
Southern Methodist meets Jack
ie Robinson and the UCLA squad
,at Los Angeles tonight and should
gain their initial victory of the
year. UCLA has a fine string of
returning lettermen, but there is no
Kenny Washington, and although
Robinson is a great runner he can
not match Washington in all
around play.—Southern Methodist.
Another tough one to pick is the
California-Michigan affair which
will give the sophomore-studded
Golden Bear team a busy after
noon trying to bottle up All-Amer
ican Tommy Harmon and Forest
Evashevski, his hard blocking
mate. Lack of experience will tell
in this game and Michigan should
snatch the victory.—Michigan.
Other coast contests:
Oregon State over Idaho, USC
over WSC, OREGON over San Di
ego Marines, and Stanford over
San Francisco U.
Hobby Plans
Fall Training
Fundamentals should be the least
of Coach Howard Hobson's worries
during the coming basketball and
baseball season.
Hobby has called a meeting of
all prospective varsity candidates
at 4 o’clock Monday, September
30, in room 101, PE building. Frosh
hopefuls are asked to report suited
for practice in McArthur court at
4:30.
Freshman basketball drill will
cover fundamentals for a few
weeks while John Warren, regular
frosh coach, is putting the yearling
football squad through its paces.
Tuesday at 4 both freshman and
varsity baseball hopefuls are asked
to report to 101 PE. Coach Hobson
stated that there may be fall work
in baseball this year.
Back
Max Tafoya, former all-Southern
California interscholastic star, will
be at halfback against the Ducks
Friday night.

Clothing Simplicity
Byword for UO Coed
By HELEN ANGELL
Simplicity, quality, and smart
ness those are the three by-words
of the University of Oregon coed
when she goes shopping. For the
feminine VVebfoot* has learned that
her clothes are more practical for
campus wear, much easier to take
care of, and last much longer when
she buys with those three thoughts
in mind.
Like college women all up and
down the coast, Oregon coeds
dress for classes in skirts and
sweaters, usually with crisp white
collars at the neckline. Clever jew
elry often alternates with the white
trim. Two or three skirts and sev
eral colorful sweaters and blouses
will suffice for a girl’s "first year.”
Saddles remain the classic in
college footwear, with other sport
shoes widely worn and anklets al
most universal here from Septem
ber until June. But on weekends
girls blossom out in high heels and
sheer hose for campus dances.
A good date dress or two will
take the girl of '44 through her
round of first term social activities
. . . any smart style, not too elab
orate, in velvet, crepe, sheer wool,
or other dressy material. Girls
without much money usually
choose accessories that go with all
of their dresses—hat gloves, and
purse.
Campus coats range from casual
tweeds and plain color reefers to
the famous standby, the reversible.
This style combines the rain coat
and sport coal, with the mere mat
ter of turning the garment inside
out needed to change the whole ap
pearance.
The dress coat may be fur or a
good-looking cloth coat. Many girls
wear practical fur coats but just
as many don't. It all depends on
;ne pocketbook, and certainly
doesn’t have anything to do with
a girl’s prestige.
Miss Oregon dresses as unpre
tentiously as possible—seldom with
a hat — but when the weekend
comes and formalc are in order,
she can become suddenly glamor
ous in swirling chiffon, stately vel
vet, or crisp taffeta. One of her
formals should have a jacket (if
.•he’s being economical) that can
be slipped off to provide a new
costume.
Wooly angora seeks . . . funny
little jewelry weaknesses . . . flan
nel pajamas for cold sleeping por
ches . . . scarfs for her head in
rainy weather . . . wooden shoes
that go klompety-klomp . . . simple
hair-dos that withstand misty Eu
gene weather . . . gay belts that
take your eye . . .wool dresses as a
pleasant change from the perennial
skirt and sweater ... all these
typify the college girl that will
grow out of the rookess of Sep
tember, 1940.
If she’s wise she'll remember
this: She's going to be doing her
own “upkeep” from now on . . . and
eight yards of knife pleats before
an 8 o’clock class is no picnic! So
her motto is simplicity, but smart
ness.

Application for New

Application to construct a new,
$211,000 KOTC building on the

Donald M. Erb, Oregon president,
announced yesterday.
Authorization to file for the proj
ect was granted by the State Board
of Higher Education September 10.
Final approval will rest on future

University would be responsible
