Duck Tracks By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald This Les Steers, Colonel Bill Hayward’s new champion, will be another in a long line of Hayward’s stars which has brightened the track world. Steers, although his best mark is in the high jump (and that's an un official American record), can really throw the javelin. He cleared the high jump at 6 feet 9% last spring and very nearly went over the once recognized ‘‘ceiling" of seven feet. .4 Les has thrown the javelin 210 feet and that’s enough to enter the plus-200 group with the present champion, Boyd Brown, and for mer stars, Bob Parke and Wally Demaris. Hayward has never had a cham pion high jumper at Oregon before this time. In fact, the Oregon all time high was established last spring by Lithe Jim Harris, foot ball end. His best effort was 6 feet 3%. Colonel Bill has produced many other champions, though. Many Oregon Stars Former World’s Champion George Varoff, polevaulter, now in Eugene, was one. Others have been Bud Shoemake, Mack Robinson, brother of UCLA’s Jackie, and 4 Paul Starr, sprinters; Ed Moeller, discus holder; Ralph Hill, miler; and Bobby Robinson, who was quite a pole vaulter. Steers was to have gone to Fres no State with Hal Davis this year —at least that's what the rumor was last year, but the jumper has wanted to go Oregon for a long time. He didn’t know until a short while ago that he would become a Webfoot. Davis is the coming “world s fastest human” and is expected to crack the record for the 100-yard dash before he has completed his college eligibility. Davis did not go to Fresno, however, and according to Steers is enrolling for another year at Salinas junior college. Duffy Didn’t Come When the San Diego Marines came north to Oregon, they left Corporal James Jolly Plum Duff (Duffy), their pedigreed English bulldog mascot, at the Marine sta ’ tion. According to Captain Esau, one of the Marine staff, Duffy would not have been able to stand the plane ride. Any change of diet or climate upsets him. The Marines take exceptional care of him. He has his own record book and a health record book in which all data are carefully kept. He has a pedigree which is a cou ple of pages long and has won 17 ribbons in dog shows on the east coast since he was six months old. Arnie Mills (it was Millstein be fore he dropped the beer mug ap pellation) is once again in town. He was the former owner of “For gotten Men,” a feature column, on this page. Mills is from the Bronx and sat on the bench with Oregon during the Long Island basketball game in Madison Square last year. / He is a salesman in a downtown clothing store now. Diez May Not Return The latest dope indicates that Bob Deiz, last year’s sprinter for Hayward, will not be in school this year. He may come back a year from now. President Roosevelt's calling of the National Guard took two of the most promising of Oregon's swimmers. Dick Smith, letterman freestyler, is a sergeant and will be gone for at least a year as will Ralph Huestis, from last year’s freshmen squad. Ralph's brother, Gerald, letterman backstroker, was going, but he got out of it and will be on the varsity again. Hole-in-Cne The newest member of the hole in-one fraternity is Cornelia Bilieu. Bilieu made his shot with a No. 3 1 r Oregon Offensive Smears Marines for Huge Gains Defense Bottles Devildog Attack; Hal Roise Stars Invading Gridders Held to Five Yard Net Loss (Continued from page one) and Isberg each had a try at the center of the line with no luck, Stenstrom plunged over for the score. Berry’s attempt for the ex tra point was blocked by Cowsert, who played a fine game at right guard for the visitors. Mecham Fumbles Quarterback Bull Trometter for the Marines set Oregon back deep in their own territory early in the fourth quarter when he placed a kick out of bounds on the Ducks’ 6-yard stripe. Standing five yards back of his own goal in punt for mation, Curt Mecham fumbled the ball momentarily and before he could recover, John Ryland, former center at UCLA, charged through and dumped him to the ground, giv ing the Marines two points on the safety. Hal Roise of the Marines threw a scare into the Webfoots late in the fourth quarter when his 57 yard quick kick was downed on the 3-yard line. Boyd punted out to the 40 and on the first play a shovel pass from Roise to Tromet ter netted the Marines 21 yards to the Oregon 21-yard line. Stenstrom Halts Threat At this point Coach Tex Oliver sent his starting line back in the game and a 3-yard gain on another short shovel pass brought the ball to Oregon’s 18-yard line, the clos est the Devildogs ever came to pay dirt with the ball in their pos session. Stenstrom put an end t.o the threat by intercepting Roise’s pass on the 12-yard marker. Berry added the final touch down with two minutes left to play when he took the ball on a spinner play through the left side of the line and romped 19 yards to the goal without a hand touching him. Dick Horne made the try for extra point but his kick was wide of the posts. Horne Stands Out Dick Horne at left end for the Webfoots played hangup ball throughout the game. However, it is difficult to single out one man from the stout Oregon line and say he was outstanding. Jim Stuart played his usual dependable offen sive and defensive game at left tackle, and Roger Johnson, trans fer from San Bernardino J. C., gave every indication of being a coast standout at right tackle. At any rate Oregon’s early sea son game last night showed that they are a big, fast, and alert out fit that is capable of going far in the tough Pacific Coast conference. And that was the question that Oregon fans hoped would be an swered in this preseason g'ame. iron on the 16th hole Wednesday. He recently set the Inverness course record of 58. Bilieu was playing with Ray Cook, all-campus champ, and Art Sprick. Edwin G. Atherton clarifies the ineligibility situation in the south by naming the school ex-athletes and authorities who violated the code—but it’s still the 10 high school athletes who take the knife in the neck. They can go to other schools, but after all they had good deals at the schools of their choice. This Ken Oliphant, the transfer halfback with actions like Jay Graybeal, may be a great asset to Hayward next spring if he isn’t seriously injured in football. He does the century in :10. Helped Halt Marines Erling Jacobsen, veteran Oregon center, was a starter in the season’s opener last night against the San Diego Marines. It was his defensive play which helped to make Oregon’s line well-nigh impenetrable. Ore gon won the game, 12 to 2. Betas Again Lead Donut Compilation For the third time in seven years Beta Theta Pi captured first in the final standings of intramural sports for 1939-40 with 1191 points.

W. Leighton, dean of the school of physical education. Bowling riding and golf are included in these activities. There will be an $8.50 fee for bowling, which will be taken at the Eugene Recreation. With this fee students will receive bowling in struction. Golf will cost $10 and will be studied at the Laurclwood golf course. This includes instruction and equipment. Those wishing to study horse back riding must pay a course fee of $15 for use of the horse and instruction through jumping at the Eugene riding academy. All these fees inclue use of grounds or equipment for three class hours per week only. For each of them one ter mhour credit is given.

Hobson Orders Basketball Work Starting Mondag Pre-Season Play Includes Opener In New York B.v BERNIK ENGEL Stressing that he expects wide open competition for each of the places on this year's traveling squad, Basketball Coach Howard Hobson yesterday reemphasized a previous announcement that all varsity candidates should report to room 101 PE at 4 o'clock Mon day afternoon, September 30. "We will take at least ten men on our eastern trip,” he stated. On this, their third annual east ern jaunt, the Oregonians will again appear on Madison Square Garden’s opening night card. The Ducks are the only basketball team ever to make three successive Opening night appearances. The opposition will probably be furn ished by Long Island University’s cagers, who tipped Oregon 56-55 in last year’s overtime opener. Leave December 6 Tentative dates for the trip de pend upon the release of the actual playing dates from the eastern schools involved, but Coach Hob son expects to leave Eugene on December 6 and return on Christ mas eve. Present plans include games with Temple at Philadelphia, Du quesne at Pittsburgh, Canisius at Buffalo, Bradley Tech at Peoria, and with the University of Okla homa, which Oregon defeated in the 1939 NCAA play-offs at Trea sure Island. At least two more games will probably be added. Besides the eastern contests, the Ducks will face western opponents in Eugene prior to the conference opener here January 10 against Washington State. Already listed is a game with the University of Utah on January 2. Three Veterans Lost Lost from last year’s regulars is Captain and All-American Cen ter John Dick, as well as Reserves Ted Sarpola and Matt Pavalunas. Hank Anderson and Archie Mar shik, 6-foot, 7-inch forwards, and Guards Jaul Jackson and Vic Townsend are the returning regu lars. Among the promising sopho mores and reserves from last year are Toivo Piippo, Len Gard, George “Porky” Andrews, Wally Borre vik, Don Kirsch, Warren Taylor, Wally Reynolds, John Tuttle, and Quentin Sidesinger. Freshmen are slated to report t< Guard Max Oowsert, starting Marine right guard, was an obstacle to the progress of the Webfoot ball club last night. Despite Cowsert’s play In the line, Oregon was able to open huge holes in the Devlldogs’ defense. Warren to Drill Frosh Monday Atherton Ruling, Registration Slow Yearling Turnout Because registration of incom ing freshmen will not be completed until late this afternoon, Coach John Warren will not be able to issue uniforms to his prospective frosh gridders until Monday, it was announced yesterday. Meanwhile another of Ed Ather ton’s new grid rulings came to light with the statement that no frosh athlete can work out on Uni versity property until he enrolls as a member of the institution. A transgression of this rule will cost the student his eligibility. In previous years schools in the Pacific coast conference have had their “signed and sealed” men working out in full football re galia two weeks before classes began. Atherton’s regime has caused this to be changed, effec tive with the 1944 numeral wearers. No less than seven backfield men have been seen on the campus the past day or so, indicating that Warren may have his hands full picking a first string eleven.
