Duck Tracks By BOB FLAVELEE Co-editor of Sports Oregon Dally Emerald The name of Jimmie Newquist is new to the University of Oregon campus but he is no longer a stranger to the 7,000 fans that saw him perform against the beefy Oregon State rooks last Friday night. While he was in the ball game the crowd was given a show worth travelling miles to see. Jim Bob Flavelle passed, kicked, blocked, tackled, and ran with the poise of a sea soned veteran. Hurt twice dur ing the rough contest, he was given a tremen dous ovation when he quit the field near the close of the final period. Dimmed only by the glare oi the Newquist stardust alts shifty, Inky Boe, the lad who set up the frosh’s only score by his flashy running and brilliant pas sing. The diminutive halfback made but one mistake against the rooks and that helped Shel ton of the Orange Babes to travel unmolested 54 yards to the frosh pay line. When Shelton came booming through the right tackle slot and cut over to his own left, reversing the field, Inky turned his back on the 200 pound speedster and by the time he had turned about again,, Shel ton had passed him and was goalward bound. Tex Oliver is probably already looking forward to the 1941 season when the present frosh will be eligible for varsity competition. From what I’ve seen of Newquist in this first game of the season, he can’t miss being a standout in his sophomore year. He has every thing. Penalty Stops Thrust John Warren's team had two more touchdowns in the palm of their hands but had one called back and the fleeting second hand on the scoreboard prevented the other. A long pass, Olson to Gianclli, hit pay dirt but was recalled by a bot h teams-offsidc penalty. In the last 30 seconds of the first half, the Olson-to-Gianclli combination worked again putting the ball on the rooks’ one-yard line but a time out penalty set the ball back 5 more yards and there it remained while futile passes were thrown in an attempt to beat the clock. The Oregon-USC contest Sat urday turned out to be a bitter disappointment to those who ex pected the Webfoots to finally win a game. Tex Oliver refused to take advantage of a handy alibi when he said that the 5)9 degree heat was not the cause of de feat, that Southern California's men suffered as well. True, the Trojans were subjected to the torrid temperature as were the Ducks but being used to a warm climate they were able to stand the heat better. Tippy Dyer continued to be the spark in the Oregon attack as he reeled off a total of 59 yards in the eight times he lugged the pig skin for an average of over seven yards per try.

Mike Hoyman Slates UO Acquatic Practice By CHUCK BOICE JYiiKc Hoyman, varsity swimming ifter a two-year leave of absence, Lhis week with a squad brilliant ir others as the result of graduation i Greeting Hoyman will be Jack E nan Wetmore, last year's record s Jerald Huestis, A1 Sander, and Jim Vfarnie, the latter a two-year vet man. However, graduation took Lettermen Pierce Mallory, Ralph Eafferty, and Ralph Cathey, and :he national guard call claimed Dick Smith, a letterman, and All men interested in turning out for varsity or freshman swimming meet at the men's pool Wednesday, October 23. Varsity men will meet at 3:45 and freshmen at 4:30. Ralph Huestis and Irvin Watrath from last year’s frosh team. The best opening for new men, according to Hoyman, will be in the breast stroke event wnere there is only one man, Pacific Coast Champion Jack Dallas. Any one interested in either the fresh man or varsity breast stroke event should see him Wednesday, Hoy man said, for two positions are wide open on the freshman team and one on the varsity. In addi tion, Dallas’ graduation this year will leave the tecun without a sin gle breast stroke man for next year. Several Transfers On top of graduation and the national guard, Hoyman will be plagued by a lack of swimmers from last year’s frosh team. Dick Allen, a freeityler, will be the lone fiist-year man on the squad. Sev eral other newcomers may pick up the slack, however. “Cub" Callis, a transfer from Fullerton junior col lege, is expected to share the spot light with Coach Cha.mpion Sherm Wetmore in the backstroke; Stew Randall, former Annapolis swim mer, is eligible this year and likely will team up with Jim Marine in the sprints, and Bill Moore is an ether prospect. The squad, as it shapes up at present, is very small, and as at least a dozen men must be ready tor the season s opener January 18 it Oregon State, much rebuilding is necessary. Besides the afore mentioned breast stroker, two dis Troian Gridders Pound Ducks. 13-0 Peoples Passes USC to 'Hot5 Win Oregon Prepares for Washington State Fracas; Culwell, Berry, Schmerling, Dyer on Inactive List Oregon held USC brilliantly during the first half, outpunted the Trojans during the entire fray, but the Los Angeles boys put their “eggs” where they hatched big dividends. They galloped to 13 first downs, three times that collected by the Ducks and one to boot, they I banged off more than two yards for every one the Webfoots paced off ; from scrimmage—222 in all—so perhaps they deserved to win the game as mey aia last oaturuay, 13 to 0. Deathly hot was the sun, and so was Trojan Quarterback Bob Peoples' javelin arm, for it was via the air that USC rang the bell, with Peoples rifling both touch down tosses, once to Sophomore End Joe Davis and once to A1 ; coacn, who is back on the campus vill open formal swimming practice some events but woefully weak in ind the national guard call, alias, Jerrold Macdonald, and Sher nashing trio, along with Lettermen TODAY’S DONUT FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Tuesday's intramural touch football games: 4:00 — McArthur field: Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Sherry Ross hall; tennis field: Phi Gamma Delta vs. Campbell co-op. 5:00 — McArthur field: Al pha Tau Omega vs. Alpha hall; tennis field: Sigma Alpha Epsi lon vs. Canard club. tance men, one diver, and two or three sprinters must be developed, according to Hoyman. The University of Washington Huskies, who won the champion ship last year by edging out the Ducks 72 to 71 at Seattle, will probably again furnish the Web foot aquatic men with the most opposition for conference laurels. The Huskies, led by their distance stars, Bockman and Goldberg, not only will have most of their men back from their great team of last season, but have a strong turnout from the freshman team of last year. PASSER Kill Sewell, Washington State laifback, lias made a hid for all oast honors this .year with his ong distance punting and accurate 3a&&mg. He'll make trouble tor iregou Saturday, “Kangaroo" Krueger of Rose Bowl renown. Despite the gruelling ordeal down south, Webfoot gridders were sheated in full uniform and re hearsing on their home field yes terday afternoon, three hours after they hobbled off the train in Eu gene, and a few of them did hobble. Injured Webfoots Jerry Schmerling, Oregon tackle, was steadying himself with a cane as he limped'about the sidelines watching teammates drill yester day. In sweat suit but not full uni form were Guard Val Culwell and Halfback Tippy Dyer. Halfback Buck Berry had on full regalia but was not too active, his wrenched knee all plastered up. Howard Jones' Trojans did a lot of mousing around in and about midfield last Saturday, but rammed up against blank walls when they attempted to barrel through the Webfoot barrier near the goal. However, stymied on the ground, they threw out aerial feel ers and connected twice. Not until midway through the third period did USC muster up scoring punch, and it was that Peoples “guy” again. Banging through the Oregon line, he slitn ered 16 yards down to the Webfoot 30-yard line. Corralled by the Duck secondary at that point, he twisted and lateraled to Guard Ben Solin, whose 230-pound hulk rolled 28 yards to the Oregon two before being tumbled. Peoples to Davis Two plays later Peoples lifted one over the line to Davis for a touchdown. Bob de Lauer, Trojan tackle, made it 7 to 0 in favor of USC after his conversion from placement. Peoples-to-Kruegc r chalked up the remaining six digits for the Trojans after two passes and a 15-yard roughing ganged up on the Webfoots to set the play in motion on Oregon's six-yard line. After thrice failing to make any headway through the hefty Web foot forward wall, Peoples faked an end-sweep then tossed to Krueger, who grabbed the ball out of a swarm of Oregon hands. De Lauer failed to convert. Oregon s Threat Oregon shot its bolt in the sec ond quarter and almost made it count. Dyer grabbed the pass from center and scampered all the way from midfield to the Trojan 21 before being hauled down. Duck Fullback Butch Nelson then bolted through for 14 yards and first down on the USC seven. Four en tries netted Tex Oliver’s boys but five yards, so the Trojans took over the Oregon two. Coming in for a good deal of orchid winning was “Red” Davis, substitute Wcbfoot guard, who tor pedoed many a Trojan power smash. Ray Segale, another Duck guard, who supplemented smash ing play against the Washington Huskies the week previous did well with another edition of the same stuff against USC.

USC finally won, 13 to 0. Coach Warren Drills Freshmen On Fundamentals Duckling Defense Bolstered in Tilt By Ecklund, lames By LEE FLATBERG Fresh from thefr 7 to 6 win over the Oregon State rooks, the frosh took an easy workout Monday afternoon, brushing up on their blocking. The freshmen came out of the contest in good shape, with Bob Liday being the only player that was unable to show up for prac tice. Jim Newquist and Gene Pe terson, who were slightly injured in the game were in uniform and seemed none the worse for their hurts. in commenting on his teams showing in Friday's game, Coach Warren stated, "They looked pret ty good in places, but bad in oth ers. I was very well pleased with Brad Ecklund and Pete James." Ecklund and James Reports from fans of the Port land fray showed plainly that Eck lund, who had just taken the cen ter duties over, and James, were a continuous menace to hook backs on line plays. Another performance in the rook-frosh game that can't be overlooked is that of Peterson. His punting kept the rooks continuous ly in hot water, and his punt from behind his own goal to the rook 36 was nothing short of spectacu lar. Capitalizing on the performance of his team in the game, Coach John Warren sent his chargers through a practice session tonight placing the emphasis on blocking. The frosh at the present time are sadly lacking in fundamentals. The only backs carrying out their as and James.

Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Phi Delb Donut Sevens Win Football League Pennants | Chi Psi. Sigma Chi Push Ahead in League Play; Phi Psi, Zeta Hall Battle to Tie; Intramural Clubs Fight Hard By FRED TREADGOLD Three intramural touch grid teams have already come in under the wire copping the titles in their respective leagues. By virtue of wins counted up last week Kappa Sigma and Sigma Nu coasted in with three victories, while Phi Delta Theta was added to the list yesterday as they edged out Gam ma hall, 7 to 0. The contest was a thriller throughout. Gamma drove deep into Phi Delt territory in the sec ond quarter only to lose the ball on downs on the enemy 8. Rallying, the Phi Delts, intent on recording win number three, put on a push of their own. A stubborn Gamma de fense thrown up on the goal line thwarted every Phi Delt move but one. The break came when with But 4 seconds remaining in the game little Paul Jackson threw a pass to left halfback Don Kirsch who made a sensational stab of the ball in the end zone. Scoreless Tie A scoreless stalemate between Phi Kappa Psi and Zcta hall was staged in the second tilt. Although the deep mud hampered the team's offensive thrusts, both counted up a great deal of yardage in mid field. It was a case, however, of the teams bogging down in the clutch es.

By HOWARD BANK IS Playing their best game to date, Kirkwood co-op held Chi Psi to two touchdowns in the second game of a touch football double header played at the tennis field yesterday afternoon. The game was called in the third quarter be cause of darkness. Sigma Chi de feated Theta Chi, 7 to 2. Early in the game, Larry Court right, Chi Psi, left end, caught passes for a touchdown and con version to give the mill race boys a seven-point lead. No more scor ing was made until near the end when Leonard Hicks went over for six more points. Courtright again converted and Chi Psi won, 14 to 0 Sigma Chi Wins A rough and tumble first game brought Sigma Chi out of a slump to humble Theta Chi. Harrison Williams scored the touchdown that meant victory for Sigma Chi. Theta Chi, when matched against the Alder street outfit, just didn’t look like the same team that drowned Sigma hall, 39 to 0, last week. They gave Sigma Chi a good fight, however.
