► Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELLE Co-Sports Editor Oregon Daily Emerald Quite a fuss was raised last tveel when it was discovered thai George “PeeWee” Bujon, thei third-string quarterback on th< University of Oregon footbal squad had suddenly left Tex Olivci cold and gone off to Washington Ic play football for a semi-pro outfit for $7.50 a week as reward. For several days sports writer; wrote bitter stories telling of th< “gridiron scavengers” who were “threatening the ranks of the Pa ^ cific northwest college, preying or college boys” with the offer of jobs and "expenses” for playing Sunday ball. But “Pee Wee” read the ac counts of his kidnaping in the Se attle papers and, realizing that his decision had caused much excite ment and hard feelings, he re turned to the Oregon campus last Friday to explain his actions tc Oliver and straighten out the story that made him look like a “poor sport”—(fans believed he had quit because he was only on the third string). Low in Money It seems that Bujon comes from a not-too-prosperous family bach in Illinois and as a freshman at 4 Oregon last year was given th* usual athletic scholarship and in addition he worked outside for ex tra money. He was entirely self supporting and had no one depend ent upon his earnings. This yeai Pee Wee came back to school and his athletic scholarship was con tinued but he discovered that he no longer had the downtown job His family circumstances had changed considerably since last spring and Father Bujon, who is an old man, had lost his job, plac ing the family in a precarious position. Pee Wee felt that he should take a little of the burden off his bro ther’s shoulders and give financial aid to the family, but it was im possible to do that and go to school also. Then the Washington semi pro offer came and he saw a chance to be of some assistance to his family. So without telling anyone, he pulled out for Washington and 1 the $7.50 per day job. Respects Tex There were no hard feelings or his part toward Tex Oliver or the Oregon squad. He left abruptly, without consulting with Oliver be cause, to use his own words, “Te\ is a smart man and a brilliant talk er, and I knew that I wouldn’t have a chance if I tried to tell him about my situation. I went awaj and had my arguments ail figured out, and then came back to fucc him.” (Continued from patjc four) iioiiAi.il HERE IT IS! “Brigham Young— f Frontiersman with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, Dean Jagger Elsa Maxwell’s “PUBLIC DEB.

Forty-nine tinpants candidates turned out for the first practice, most of them backfield men, and Warren will soon have to transfer some of Duck Aspirants Start Hoop Work In Four Weeks Oregon Booked For Third Season At Madison Square Twenty-six candidates Reported to varsity basketball Coach How ard Hobson yesterday for their initial instructions of the season. Hobson announced that regular daily practice will start on Octo ber 28. Discussing the early date—De cember 6—set for the eastern trip, Coach Hobson asked the taller boys to report to Bill Hayward, track coach, for practice on starts and sprinting and stated that all the men should work to improve their endurance and wind. He dis couraged practice on the court it self with the exception of a little goal shooting. “We want you to learn the kind of fundamentals we teach; wc don’t want you to scrimmage un less you know our methods—not the bad habits you might pick up by yourselves,” he stressed. Except for the New York teams which are “at home” there, Oregon is the only team to be picked for three successive opening night cards in Madison Square Garden. Hobson said that this year’s ma terial was as good as that in pre vious years and could become championship contenders them selves with the right spirit. Outlining the eastern trip, he named Oklahoma, Duquesne, Brad ley Tech, and possibly Canisius at Buffalo as the teams definitely on the schedule. The athletic depart ment, he went on, is trying to ar range for at least two more con tests on the road. Also slated for the pre-conference period is a clash with Utah on the Webfoot court after the trip. Present plans call for the squad to leave Eugene on December 6 and return on Christmas day. Those reporting included the fol lowing: Ralph Fuhrman, Quentin Sidesinger, Vic Townsend, Wally Reynolds, Archie Marshik, Paul Jackson, John Bubalo, Hank Burns, Warren Taylor, Hank Anderson, Bud Walker, Joe Hollowell, Clif ford Anet, Leonard Gard, Don Kirsch, Earl Sandness, Evert Mc Neely, Cecil, Warner, Don Beck ham, Toivo Piippo, Bill Borcher, Wally Borrevik, Lowell Dick, and George Andrews. the heftier backs up to line posi tions to fill the many gaps there. ‘Every position on the team is wide open at present,” was War ren’s statement. “High school rec ords mean nothing unless they show their stuff here—I have no pre-season convictions.” There are plenty of “big names” from local and faraway high schools* on the roster—although Coach Warren has not yet had time to estimate their worth as fu ture varsity material. Bright Stars Heading the list of high school stars is Jim Newquist, from Cam as, Washington—a speedy left halfback who took Southern Wash ington footballers by storm last fall. Inky Boe, from Milwaukie, is another halfback who chalked up plenty of prep school points last paper, but have yet to prove they are better than ten other tinpants candidates for that position. Other quarter and halfback can didates are Larry Casper, Blaine, Washington; Jim Coleman, New berg; Charles DeAutremont, last year’s sensation of University high; Wes Dollarhide, Lakeview; Bob Herndon, Bakersfield, California; Clyde Lee, Littlefield, Texas; Bob Liday, Pocatello, Idaho; Ole Nel son, Eugene; John O’Brien, and Larry Olsen, San Francisco; Tom Oxman, Ontario; Roy Sefton, Jef ferson in Portland; Homer Thom as, White Bear, Minnesota; and Jim Vitti Rarien, Connecticut. Five Fullbacks A tough battle for the fullback post also looms on paper, a battle that will pit Frank Emmons’ little (but big) brother, Gale, against Brad Ecklund, another Milwaukie star, John Saulsberry, a 194-pound bruiser from Medford, and a very promising California prepper, Ga briel Bouret. LaVern James from Rainier, Washington, is another Rainier, is another candidate who will be batting for that position. From Eugene high comes big Chuck Elliott with his eye on one of the tackle posts, but Elliott will first have to match blocks and tackles with Paul Formoso from Commerce high in Portland, Mer ritt Kufferman from Los Angeles, Emerson Liddell from Eugene, George Suverkrubbe from Nebras ka, and Pat Wynne from Olympia, Washington. Other Candidates Out for the end posts arc Jim Benham, Lafayette; Dean Crow ell, North Bend; Bert Gianelli, Ev erett, Washington; Arnold Klimpel and Bob Lovelady, two boys from Nevada, Bob Lucy, San Francisco; Gene Peterson, Pocatello, Idaho; DeWitt Rucker, San Jose, Califor nia; and Bill Tinling, another San Jose prepper.

Oliver Pulls Curtain Over Grid Practice By JOHNNY KAHANANUI Enthusiasts who hiked out Hayward stadium way for a peek at Webfoot gridders in practice maneuvers got no more than a casual glimpse of Jim Stuart, Buck Berry, Chet Haliski, and company prancing about on the turf, as Coach Tex Oliver pulled the “shades” while drilling his men for the Stanford clash Saturday coming. Oregon backers well remember last year’s Webfoot-Indian battle, for when the sawdust and pompons were raked off and the players un tangled in Multnomah stadium, the Ducks were sporting a 10-0 win. That this year’s clash would be a repetition is hoped for by Webfoot enthusiasts but not at all taken for granted. Stanford Shows Stanford boomed into prominence guard posts are Russell Anderson, North Bend; Fred Beaver, San Francisco, Jeff Hodges, Eugene; Clayton Pond, Newport; Henry Steers, The Dalles; and Vernon Wadsworth from Salem. Only two center candidates on the roster—Andy Jones from Grant high school in Portland, and the other half of the Steers’ twin, How ard. “down south’’ last Saturday with an impressive 27-0 victory over a “best team in history" from the University of San Francisco, a non conference affair, while up in Eu gene, the night previous, Oregon had out-wailowed the San Diego Marines 12-2 in a warm-up go af ter rain had turned the surface of Hayward field into some kind of pudding. A quick medico look-see after the Marine melee last Friday showed a scratch and a bump. Dumped on his head a few times, the mud apparently none too good a cushion, Halfback Tommy Rob lin was placed in the infirmary for observation, while a cleat dig put a temporary crimp in Chet Halis ki’s rambling.

Skiers Must Pick Leader Oregon ski enthusiasts who de sire to compete for the University this year will have to pick a coach from among their senior members, it was announced yesterday by Anse Cornell, Oregon's graduate manager of athletics. Rollio Dickie, coach of last year’s team, is not on the campus this year and the $100 budget al lotted the slats-wearers will not cover the cost of hiring an outside coach. According to Cornell, a sen ior chosen by the skiers should re port to the athletic manager’s of fice in McArthur court to obtain information relative to finances. Last year's squad took daily workouts in the gymnasium, sup plemented by trips to Mt. Hood, Hand Lake, and the Sisters. Hoad trips included jaunts to Mt.
