Duck Tracks
By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Sport Editor
Oregon will have a tough time
of It come next Saturday in Palo
Alto if What the VVebfoot third
team has been doing to the first
and second teams In practice Is
any criterion.
Coach Tex Oliver and the rest
of his coaching staff came back
from the southland and the San
Francisco-Stanford game Saturday
with lots of dope on the behavior
of the Indian backs on the field.
Since that time, Oliver and the G-2
corps have gone into heavy con
ference to find a workable method
Of stopping the system employed
by Clark Shaughnessy.
Using a third team as a “Stan
ford team,” the Oregons have been
working themselves into a lather
to stop the man in motion plays
and hidden-ball tricks which
Shaughnessy brought direct from
the Chicago Bears of the profes
sional league.
Anyway Tex promises his Ore
gons will be ready for the Stanford
team.
Stanford Looks Well
The Oregon coaching staff, in a
conference, stated that Stanford
has a really great team. They have
much deception and do a good job
of hiding the ball and disguising
the point of attack. The Indians
have apparently mastered the in
tricate Shaughnessy system well.
From now until the time the
team leaves Eugene—about Thurs
day noon—the staff will be much
concerned over trying to stop the
wide-open and deceptive attack.
Stanford used 43 players, accord
ing to Harry Borba in the San
Francisco Examiner, to prevent
the score from assuming basket
ball proportions on its side, but
that didn’t keep those fast backs
from rolling up a 27 to 0 score
over San Francisco. That score was
over a team which had Bill Teles
manic, admittedly one of the best
ends in the independent circuit, in
the lineup.
Shaughnessy Offense
Shaughnessy has incorporated a
man-in-motion into his “T” forma
tion plays which makes it very
tough for the defense when Stan
ford has possession of the ball.
Shaughnessy has his ends and
tackles flung wide of the center
When the team goes up to the line
of scrimmage.
The guards are beside the quar
terback who is about a yard be
hind the center, and the fullback
is directly behind a few yards on
a line with the two halfbacks.
When they go into the shift, the
guards move up on the line with
the center and the tackles and ends
close over. The halfbacks spread
out a bit and the quarterback
places his hand on the posterior of
the center.
Much Deception
The center passes the ball back
to the quarterback with one haitd
and is ready to charge with the
other linemen. This gives one more
man to the line to break through.
The quarterback Whirls With his
back to the line and is confronted
with three alternatives.
He may either run with the ball,
run back and pass, or fake and
pass to one of the other backs be
hind the line. Before the ball is
snapped, one of the backs may tear
off to one side or the other—part
of the defensive secondary is drawn
over to cover this man, and one
side of the defensive line is left
comparatively weakened to a line
buck or a pass.
Stanford had its intelligence
service on Hayward field Friday
night as the Ducks out-waddled the
San Diego Marines in the mush,
indicated Borba. Line-Coach Phil
Bengston was the Indian represen
tative.
Bengston Reports
Here is the gist of his report:
“Those Oregon players are big and
tough and there are all kinds of
them. Oliver used four right half
back and three left halfbacks
during the game and they all
looked equally good.”
Following the receipt of this in
formation, Shaughnessy mulled
over this and other data with his
aides for two or three hours.
One of the surprises of the week
end to this writer was the playing
of Frank Chase, Oregon State
halfback, who showed a lot of stuff
against Idaho as a passer, runner,
and punter. He punts a mile—well,
60 yards anyway. Jim Kisselburgh
revealed a lot of speed when he
ran one play from punt formation
for about sixty or seventy yards.
George Peters did the blocking.
Much of the story of the Bea
vers’ success story Saturday lay
in Idaho's left tackle who drove in
time and again and was taken out
by End Johnny Leovich. Many
plays went over the right side of
the Oregon State line in this man
ner.
Warren’s Assistants
It’ll be Bob Blenkinsop, end
coach, and Jay Graybeal, backfield
coach, this year. For, they’ll assist
“Honest” John Warren with the
freshman turnout this fall.
Hobby Hobson has turned his
tall boys over to Track Coach Bill
Hayward for work on starts and
sprints—this gives the giants more
agility and they will then be able
to control themselves better on the
floor and they wilt have much
more coordination.
Big A1 Linn, Hobby’s right-hand
ed mainstay of his pitching staff,
appeared back on the campus yes
terday. He appears set for a big
last year.
George Pasero, co-sports editor
of the Oregon Daily Emerald last
year, now has a position on the
Journal Juniors staff of the Ore
gon Journal.

Today, Eye Stanford
No Serious Injuries in Webfoot Camp;
Shaughnessy's Stanford Team Will Test
Strength of Oregon Squad Saturday
By JOHNNIE KAHANANUI
Only one more day of home-field rehearsing until Tex Oliver corrals
his Webfoot gridders for the trek south to Palo Alto where, "ready
or not,” they trot into the Stanford stadium Saturday for an expected
bruising pow-wow with Clark Shaughnessy's so-heralded rejuvenated
Indian eleven, the opening battle for both teams in the 1940 Pacific
coast campaign.
Physically intact, no serious in
juries listed in the medical books,
the Ducks will gallop into the
skirmish Saturday at full strength,
a partial consolation for the day
or so of lost practice and thumb
twiddling ort the train-ride south,
while the Indians are staging regu
lar full-dress drills for the en
counter.
Betters Are Doubtful
Grid gossip pouring into the
Webfoot camp and some of the
"confidential” stuff leaking in are
not too gratifying to the Oregon
general staff and are also making
some would-lbe Green and Gold
wage-favorers shove doubled-up
fists into their trousers pockets
and keeping them there with a
dubious nod of their heads.
The reason, it seems Stanford’s
Coach Shaughnessy, resurrected
from the grid ruins of de-footballed
Chicago university, was able to
salvage the germs of some razzle
dazzle maneuvers which he has
injected into his Indian proteges
with more than mild success. In
fact his "hand-is-quicker-than-the
eye" football so baffled the USF
Dons when the Redmen rolled up
a 27-0 victory last Saturday that
ah’s! and oh's! flowed fluently
from sport commentators up and
down the coast.
Oliver is not unaware of Stan
ford’s deftness with the pigskin,
having scouted the Indians in the
USF clash. He returned with a
wealth of favorable comment and
a good deal of respect for Shaugh
nessy's boys.
Standlee a Standout
Utilizing the Chicago Bear “T”
formation, Shaughnessy has 225
pound full Norm Standlee at tail
back, flanked by halves Pete
kmetovic and Hugh Gallarnean.
With quarterback Frankie Albert
grabbing the ball from his squat
right behind the center and shuffl
ing it off to either of the former
three, the Indians are able to work
deceptive man-in-motion plays
which proved no end of trouble for
USF.
That Oregon’s Tex Oliver has
had sufficient time to drill his men
in smothering the Stanford attack
remains to be seen, although some
say a flock of magicians would be
more effective in penetrating the
aba-daba cloud — criss-crosses, re
verses, double-reverses, man-in
motion, et cetera—Stanford throws
up while its offensive plays are
developing.
Squad To Be Named
Oregon supporters should not be
too dismayed, however, for they
can be certain Oliver has some
thing in the pan for Stanford to
grope around in. The Webfoots
showed a fairly well coordinated
offensive attack against the Ma
riens last Friday, the mud not
withstanding. With more favorable
weather fans should see a Duck

Hayward Calls
Track Meeting
Frosh, Varsity
Hopefuls to Meet
Tomorrow, 3:30
The first fall meeting of all track
aspirants will be held Thursday
afternoon at 3:30 on Hayward field
w'hen Coach Bill Hayward will
take a look at the cinder squad
which is to furnish members of the
1941 teams.
Hayward has issued a call to all
freshmen, varsity, and any other
men who are interested in track
to attend the initial practice. A full
credit will be given for all those
who wish to work out during the
fall term.
It is planned to have both in
door and outdoor workouts, de
pending upon the weather condi
tions and whether the varsity foot
ball team is using the field. Hay
ward says tht there will be inter
squad meets at various times to
furnish the men with some real
competition.
Faces a Problem
Colonel Bill faces quite a prob
lem in rebuilding a winning team
out of the small nucleus of vet
erans that are returning from last
year’s squad. Lost through gradu
ation last spring is Boyd Brown,
AAU javelin champion; Kirm
Storli, runner-up for top honors in
the Pacific coast half mile; Jim
Buck, second place winner in the
Pacific coast 120 yard low hurdle
event; Bob Mitchell, miler; Rod
Hanson, pole vaulter; and Frank
Emmons, weight man.
Leltermcn last season who are
expected to appear Thursday are
Captain Ehle Reber, Bill Regner,
Rea Kleinfeldt, and Ray Dickson.

Two new Jo’s who specialize in
not gathering moss axe Joanne
Riesch, new WAA president, and
Miss Josephine Persicano, from
New York university, who is here
as sports director in place of War
rine Eastburn for one year.
More than two weeks will elapse
before the first volleyball will feel
the official boost from a coed toe,
but in the meantime, these two see
that plans move steadily forward
toward a well-regulated program
for the year’s activities.
Kappas Champions
Two weeks before the season
starts is a bit early for predictions
as to how it will end, but a good
bet would be to watch the Kappas.
With three championship teams in
a row they finally won possession
of the cup last year and it is ru
mored that with their usual fore
sight they have most of their
freshmen signed up for volleyball.

Get First Swings
At Intramurals
By TINK MAYES
With the intramural program
catching the up-beat, athletic
minded letterless men seem to be
blooming in abundance on the Ore
gon campus. Interfraternity golf
ers will take their first swing at
the pills over at Laurelwood at 4
o’clock today when the ATOs chal
lenge Canard club in the first
flight of divoting competition
scheduled for the present academic
term. Also listed to tee off today
are Phi Kappa Psi vs. Theta Chi,
Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Delta Upsi
lon, and Sigma hall vs. Delta Tau
Delta.
Tennis Play Starts
Meanwhile, tennis gets its first
taste of the intramural version
when the Fijis and Pi Kaps sound
the ping late this afternoon. Sigma
Nu and Gamma hall will follow up
on the program while the Oregon
Yeomen challenge last year's in
terfraternity all-round champions
of Beta Theta Pi.
Touch football will be under way
as soon as teams are rounded into
shape. Paul R. Washke, intramural
director, has warned house repre
sentatives of injuries resulting
from lack of training and the par
ticipation of freshmen not too well
qualified for the hazards which
have occurred during previous sea
sons; but it can be said that the
boys will find none of Ed Ather
ton's gum-shoeing tactics between
them and the goal posts.
Two other teams that finished
well among the leaders last year
are Orides and Susan Campbell
hall. Perhaps the scent of victory
will spur them on to the goods
this year, but the Kappas with so
many experienced players back,
seem most likely to repeat their
triumph.
Bowling Possibility
Another possibility for winter
term intramurals is bowling. Both
Jo's seriously consider the rapidly
growing interest in this sport to
be insurance of lively participa
tion should such a program be put
into effect.
Freshman girls who arc inter
ested in swimming should drag out
their bathing caps and practice up
on their dog paddle, for Amphib
ian trials will soon be announced
and any girl who wishes may try
out.

sion is still in a dither trying to

Bolster Squad as Yearlings
Undergo Warming-Up Exercises
As 59 lemon jersey clad frosh football aspirants warmed up on the
practice field yesterday, throwing passes, snagging stray punts, and
going through warming up exercises, Coach John Warren would make
no prediction on the nearing season other than the comment, “all
positions are still open.”
Many Stars Out
With a turnout including such j
high school stars as Jim Newquist, |
Washington speedster; Inky Boe,
and Eugene’s own Charles DeAu
tremont, Warren remained silent.
After last year's frosh team that
showed so well on paper, and only
on paper, perhaps Honest John is
right.
The practice session was still
limited to slow warming up and
work with the tackling dummies.
Warren worked the guards, tack
les, and centers. The yearling turn
out this year shows a large lack of
line material and undoubtedly
Warren will change over some of
his numerous backfield stars.
Former Stars Help
Coach Warren is being given
first class assistance in the coach
ing chore by aid from Jay Qray
beal and Blenkinsop. Graybeal, one
of last year's varsity stars is keep

with Mrs. Opal Hill, established
one of the most unbelievable rect
ords when she went to the finals
three of the four times she entered
th Women's National Amateur golf
meet.
Twice she was runner-up and in
1938 she won the coveted title.
Her competitive record in other
tournamnts is equally outstanding.
She won the Miami-Biltmore tour

the Trans-Mississippi event in 1938
and 1939 and was a finalist five of
the six times she entered.
Miss Berg climaxed her career
in 1938 when she was chosen the
outstanding woman athlete of the
year, rounding out a competitive
career which she started only two
years after beginning to play the
ancient Scottish game.
The former University of Minne
