Duck
Tracks
By KEN CHRISTIANSON, Co-Editor of Sports
Oregon and the New York
Yanks—they're synonymous in a
way.
The Yanks couldn’t paste up
enough wins to keep on the
bread wagon during the first
part of the race, then after Joe
Gordon’s wife had a baby and
other things happened, the Yanks
were the class of the circuit. It’s
the same way with Oregon. The
Ducks thought the only part of
the game that was important
was the GO playing minutes and
forgot about the touchdowns.
Then they woke up, and I doubt
if a team on the coast could
have touched them Saturday.
It was truly a case of where
“they could do no wrong.’’ The
only place where UCLA could
have been superior was in place
kicking and Oregon didn’t let the
Bruins get a sniff of the goal line,
so who knows? Tex Oliver's boys
will drop a game one of these
days like Northwestern or Michi
,gan did to Minnesota, if they don’t
find a guy who can “split the up
rights.” Tommy Roblin kicked the
best miss of the' game Saturday,
but it still missed.
Oregon has made 11 touchdowns
this season and only two conver
sions.
Mud Pie
The game was the first where
UCLA had played on a muddy
field and the Bruins’ spirits
showed it. Oregon bubbled over
v ith confidence and the Ducks
grinned through mud and rain as
they passed and ran the Uclans
di."/y. Frankie ’ Boyd enjoyed
th ngs hugely—it was his first
time in Oregon's starting lineup
and he made things hot for the
Bruins while he was in there.
The Webfoots’ offense clicked
with terrible efficiency. They
were on the offense during most
of the first half—during the en
tire quarter and three minutes
of the second, they lost yardage.
Boyd lost half a yard then, and
r
the entire swarm of Oregon
hacks lost only 5 yards from
rushing all day.
It was Dick Horne who blocked
for Chet Haliski as Haliski gath
ered in the pass from Buck Berry.
Haliski made a nice gain on the
pass play, and he’ll make some
body's all-coast team. Jerry Bond
field of NEA service claims he's
the best blocker in the Pacific
Northwest and forgot to mention
any other on the coast.
Oliver used several backfields
one of the best, so far as speed,
power, and deception are con
cerned, was Boyd, Berry, Tippy
Dyer, and Haliski. Haliski and
Len Isberg played a couple of their
best games— appropriate too, con
sidering it's their last on Hay
ward field.
Robinson Was Great
Jackie Robinson played a great
game even though Oregon had
three Ducks on him most of the
time. He took terrific punishment,
but he didn't complain. He was
heard to mutter later in his hotel
room that his bruises were begin
ning to ache. Nate de Francisco,
Uclan guard, advised an Oregon
player to “take it easy” after four
others had battered Robinson out
of bounds.
Ilobinson did some good tack
ling—too bad he doesn’t block.
He’s probably the best kick-off
and punt returner in the busi
ness. He just stands there and
lets everyone take shots at him
ad sidesteps. He didn’t sidestep
when .Ji mStuart hit him, though.
Oregon’s line looked much bet
ter Saturday. The tackling and
blocking was vicious, and the
backs were running harder. Rog
Johnson played during the game
with that little flu germ still hov
ering near. He was running a fe
ver before the end of the game
and went back to the infirmary.
On one play, Rog shoved Robin
son’s puss in the mud. Jackie got

swing into the very important in

part of this week or early next
week in preparation for the Web
Coot’s eastern invasion December 5.
Most of the work to date has
been designed to give fast break
offense more speed and smooth
ness. Five-man down the court
drills took up a large part of Mor
:lay's session with most of last
iveek’s time being spent on inten
sive “three to two” and block play
exercises.
One drill combination had Red
McNeeley and Hank Anderson at
.he forwards; Archie Marshik at
center, and Vic Townsend and Paul
Jackson, guards. Another unit saw
Leonard Gard and Warren Taylor
it forward; Wady Borrevik, ccn

only member of last year's team
n the combination.

Outside observers have been im

UCLA Forgotten;
Ducks Eye Bears
Oliver Stresses Offense as Webfoots
Drill Until After Dark; Isberg Receives
Plaudits for Best Game of Career
By JOHNNIE KAHANANVI
A puny 7.500 but frenzied and enthusiastically partisan Webfoot
Homecoming crowd may have thought, and rightfully so, that Oregon's
football eleven was punching through UCLA with methodical and
flawless precision. However, there’s always room for improvement.
Duck Coach Gerald “Tex" Oliver was probably observing that old
adage, grown slightly boring with repetition but always applicable,
as he “quarterbacked” his varsity
elevens through intense offensive
skirmishes yesterday.
Conspicuous was the Chet Ha
liski - Frankie Boyd - Buck Berry
Marshall Stenstrom backfield com
bination that opened against
UCLA. Behind prodiguous plowing
of the No. 1 line—Dick Horne and
Bill Regner at ends, Jim Stuart and
Ed Moshofsky at tackles, Ray Se
gale and Val Culwell, guards, and
Erling Jacobson at center — this
quartet barrelled 60 yards through
the mud and through Babe Horrell's
Bruins after the initial kickoff
only to be stymied on the two-yard
line. But they failed to take no
for an answer and a few plays later
rammed over for the first of three
touchdowns scored by the Web
foots in their convincing 18-0 vic
tory.
Many Backs
Also kicking up the turf out
there yesterday was Oliver's flock
of other backfield men, i.e., Tommy
Koblin, Curt Mecham, Len Isberg,
Kenny Oliphant, Duke Iverson,
“Butch” Nelson, Roy Dyer, and
Don Mabee.
Saturday’s trouncing adminis
tered the Uclans saw the home
team performing superbly as a
unit, every man executing his
assignment, no one person carrying
on clearly head and shoulders above
Ben Hall, Alpha Chi,
ZTA Cop Coed Tilts
Hen hall, Zeta Tau Alpha, and
Alpha Chi remain in the volley
ball competition by downing' Alpha
Xi Delta, Alpha Gam. and Univer
sity house in the third week of
volleyball inter-house play.
Hendricks trounced the Alpha
Xi Delta girls in a one-sided bat
tle, 52 to 9. Beverly Goetz and Lil
lian Zidcll starred for the dormi
tory team with hard slams over
the net.
In the second game ZTA led the
Alpha Gams by a score of 20 to 9
at half time. In spite of a deter
mined second half drive, the Alpha
Gam squad were unable to over
come ZTA score, losing 33 to 24.
A starless Alpha Chi team de
feated the usually potent Univer
sity house, 35 to 31, in one of the
best contests Tuesday. Efforts
made by Rusty Tomlinson and oth
er PE majors on the Uni Co-op
team failed to bring them
through to a win.
The Tri Delt-Orides game sched
uled for the inside court Tuesday
was postponed.

the rest. However, should anyone
come in for plaudits it would be
Len Isberg. Duck halfback, and
not because he was flashier than
any of the other ball packers in
there, but because he played that
day the best game of his career.
Heretofore, it was Isberg's mag
nificent kicking that provoked alls
and ohs from the crowd. However
Saturday his twisting, squirming,
slashing running with the ball was
truly exciting, something specta
tors didn't formerly associate with
him particularly.
Practice Late
Despite the Webfoots' smashing
triumph last Saturday, Mentor Oli
ver was letting no patch of mud on
Oregon practice fields go un
trampled, as he drove his boys
through rehearsals. As dusk and
mist set in late last evening, he had
the workout switched to the light
ea-up “unfinished" area.
And why all the fuss? Well,
there is that "little" matter with
California next Saturday in Berke

Bears, probably the season’s most
improved outfit, an eleven that
scrambled up after at 41-0 smear

Delta Win
Another match that was forced
to go to three agmes before a final
decision was the Pi Kappa Alpha
Alpha hall tiff, that the former
took 15-10, 14-16, 15-10. Given quite
a battle, Delta Tau Delta was
forced considerably before ousting
Sigma hall 15-11, 15-12.

'Irish 'Riley Veteran
OfManyRingWars
By WALLY HUNTER
One of the most prominent men in athletic circles on the Oregon
campus is Pete Riley, state AAU welterweight boxing champ.
Riley, a diminutive black-haired, blue-eyed Irishman has a very
enviable record to show for his few years in the “manly art.” He has
entered just one state AAU boxing tournament and in this one went
to the finals where he defeated Jerry Buckley, a veteran of many ring
wars. Riley was invited to participate in the national AAU champion
ship at Boston after this tournament, but declined the offer because
of his studies.
He is 5 feet 8 Inches in height
and fights in the welterweight di
vision at 147 pounds.
Kudin Career
Although a major in physical
education he is interested in speech
work. A career in radio as a
sports announcer is his chief am
bition. The PE major is intended
as a background for the radio
work.
Boxing has always been of keen
interest to him but it wasn't until
he enrolled at Oregon State col
lege that he took it up seriously.
He was at OSC for just one term
before he transferred to the Uni
versity.
Portland is his home town
where he was graduated from
Grant high school. While there his
sports interest was confined to
football and track.
Amphibian Party
Slated Thursday
Thursday evening the Amphib
ians are giving a party for the
new pledges in Gerlinger at 7:30
p.m.
All pledges are specially invited
and members are urged to be
there. Refreshments are being
served after the entertainment.
Water polo and different aquatic
games are scheduled for the en
tertainment.
FROSH PICTURES
All freshmen football players
must be at McArthur court
Thursday at 3:45 p.m. in prac
tice suit for Oregana pictures.
If there is a heavy rain, the
picture-taking will be postponed.
Tommy Moyer, generally con
ceded to be the nation’s top ama
teur boxer, and four times finalist
in the national AAU tournaments,
gave Pete his toughest fight. It
was an exhibition match and Moy
er won on a split decision. Pete
has never been knocked out and
has yet to be knocked down. (He
rapped on wood after this state
ment.)
As for turning pro or continu
ing to fight after he graduates,
that is just not in the books. “I
am boxing now just for the sport
of it.” Not a little regret was in
his tone as he remarked that he
was too small to play college foot
ball.
Most of his summers are spent
in Alaska as warehouse foreman
in a salmon cannery. Last sum
mer he ‘‘took it easy” and worked
in Seaside.
Louis Is Choice
His choice for the greatest all
time heavyweight boxer is Joe
Louis. Though he thinks Louis is
great he says, “Give Billy Conn
one year of work and ten pounds
of weight and he will have a fight
ing chance with Louis.”
Asked what he thought the req
uisites of a good boxer were he
answered, “A good fighter should
have courage, the killer instinct
and the will to win. Also the abil
ity to keep cool under fire."
Pete is now supervising the box
ing squad until Vaughn Corley is
available and is especially exu
berant over the present team. “We
have some good material here—
the best in a long time. There is
also a revival of interest in box
ing," he commented.
FOR MEN ONLY
With the fall season swinging
into line and the holidays ap
proaching, college men over the
country are giving a second
thought to their evening clothes.
Scores of freshmen are realizing
that they will need a tuxedo, as
well as all of the accessories that
go with it.
Midnight blue is today the un
disputed color for a man’s tuxedo,
and the chances are about three
to one that it will be double
breasted. The material will prob
ably have a slight weave in it, an
indistinct herringbone or a diag
onal, which give sit a better ap
pearance than the plain materials
which were used for so many
years.
Tuxedo poats, like those of bus
iness and college suits, are cut
slightly longer this year, and but
ton on the bottom button. The
peaked lapels can be either satin
or silk, although the heavy gros
grain silk is apt to last longer.
For evening wear the semi-soft
plaited bosom shirt with the turned
down starched collar, is increas
ingly popular and is now general
ly worn. There is now on the mar -
ket a good variety of soft and
semi-soft shirts with collars at
tached. If you wear the turned
down collar for evening dress, you
will have to learn how to tie a
bow tie, for the untied variety is
the only kind that will tie up sat
isfactorily with a turned down col
lar.
If you wear wool socks for day
time, you can get excellent light
weight black wool ones for eve
ning.
Gabardine and covert cloth
raincoats and topcoats have been
coming up for several seasons, and
this fall they are certainly the
leaders everywhere. Generally

In some sections the short cam

ular next year.
Green still continues to be a fa
vorite color for sport jackets, al
though browns are giving it a good
fight. Stripes, incidentally, which
started to make their appearance
last year in sportscoats, are good
on most campuses, and the more
color you can get the better. Some
of the lighter shades of brown are
combined with maroon or dark
green stripes, and a gray and ma
roon combination is much favored
in the west.
