It seems that only yesterdaj
King Football was being welcomed
into the 1940 season. Stanford
the miracle team of the year was
being picked to finish somewhere
below the first four places in Pa
cific coast standings and the Uni
versity of Oregon gang received a
dark horse rating as a possible
top-notch club.
But that was in September. To
day football is entering its final
weeks of competition in Pacific
coast conference play and the
standings find the sensational
Stanford squad firmly entrenched
in first place while the hapless
Webfoots are just as firmly sub
merged near the bottom of the
league.
Oregon Plans Upset
The big game is yet to come,
however, and Coach Tex Oliver is
drilling his squad as if the season
were only beginning. A win over
the Oregon State Beavers would
give Oregon a little to crow about
after a dismal year of sparse vic
tories. And don't think it impossi
ble for the Webfoots to knock over
the lads from Corvallis. Another
afernoon like that when UCLA in
vaded Eugene to meet the white
hot Olivermen and the Beavers
will sadly find themselves up
against an unbeatable team. It has
been five years since Oregon last
knocked Lon Stiner's men for a
loop. On paper this isn’t the year
the Orange victory string is to be
broken, but don’t count too much
on the record, anything can hap
pen in these civil war battles and
usually does.
Enter Basketball
Basketball is rapidly pushing
itself into the limelight now that
the reign of football wavers. A
glance at the calendar reveals that
there are but 15 short days re
maining before Coach Hobby Hob
son takes his 1941 version of bean
pole basketball on its annual pre
season swing through the eastern
battlefronts.
This marks the third straight
year that an Oregon team lias been
invited to open the Madison Squure
Garden series of intercollegiate
hoop doubleheaders. No other
team has ever had that honor. Ore
gon’s style of play must be popu
lar back there.

Frosh Wind Up Best Year
Calling all athletic historians of
the University of Oregon! Coach
John Warren and his frosh teams
of 1940 have made the most event
ful kind of history possible in ath
letics at this institution.
Starting with last year’s basket
ball and baseball season and end
ing with this year's football season
the Ducklings have been on the
long end of the score of every Oer
gon frosh and Oregon State rook
encounter.
Basketball Sweep
Led by Wally Borrevick, War
ren Taylor, Quentin Sidesinger,
and Don Kirsch the yearlings
downed the rooks in all of the four
scheduled basketball games. The
first game ended with a 42 to 36
score. In the second tilt the Duck
lings ran up a score of 50 to 32.
In the last two games only two
points separated these traditional
rivals, but two points were as good
as 50 for the Ducklings.
In the baseball meetings of the
frosh and rooks the , yearlings
downed the rooks, 16 to 9, 13 to
4, 3 to 2, and 8 to 0. Tony Crish,
John Bubalo, Chuck Clifford, and
Don Kirsch provided the necessary
batting power that enabled the
frosh to win. The pitching staff in
eluded Stew Fredericks, Monroe
Karterman, Nick Begleries, and
fSpW* TCc^TBerg.
Then cable this year’s football
season. Although the Ducklings
had to come from behind both
times they managed to score
enough points to down the rooks
in both games. These last two vic
tories ended John Warren's most
successful year.
The year of 1940 will long be
remembered by the Oregon frosli
as the most eventful and greatest
history making year of the fresh
man athletic teams at the Univer
sity of Oregon.

Long Island university is the
big game on the Wandering Web
foots' schedule but it isn't the only
tough one. Seven other teams have
been lined up to meet the Tall Firs
from Oregon and none of them
can be taken as pushovers. Besides
the Blackbirds, Oregon meets Ok
lahoma, Canisius, Temple, Du
quesne, Baltimore, and Bradley
Tech during the eastern swing and
closes the tour January 2 when
Utah invades Eugene.

a good one again this year, for it

One more game was added to

schedule of the Oregon Ducks yes
terday when Webfoot officials ac
cepted the request of Baltimore
university for a spot on the Ducks’
schedule when they take their
barnstorming trip cast, starting
December 5.
The game is to be played on the
maple boards of the Maryland
school on December 19. Last sea
son the Wcbfoots were victors
over the Baltimore ball-club by a
score of 45 to 40.

Duckling
Slants
By DON PLATH
From our list of the five frosh
players most likely to graduate to
the ranks of the varsity, we ex
cluded the name of Inky Boo. Af
ter thinking about this matter we
have decided we might very like
ly be wrong.
One reason for the exclusion was
because of Inkv's weight, which
isn't entirely to what would be
considered “varsity standard.” Yet
this didn’t seem to bother Boc
while he was playing for the
frosh, a fact that merited a change
of mind. Another item that made
us change our mind was that
names of many Oregon stars, who
were not up to the standard
weight, can be recalled by Oregon
fans.
Among Boo’s accomplishments
this season was the attaining of
the highest per-try average of the
Ducklin gbacks. In the first rook
game it was Boc who passed the
Duckling backs. In the first rook
down. In the second game his long
run from punt formation sparked
the Oregon team to its second vic
tory over the rooks.
We know Tex Oliver wishes
Inky did weigh more, but wo are
pretty sure that he won’t put him
on his “no-chance” list because he
doesn’t.
John “Nicknames” Warren
When you read a newspaper
story that contains something
about John Warren you will be
confronted with a nickname of
some sort; Of these the most pop
ular and the one that has stuck
the longest is “Honest John.”
The others pinned on him by
the various present and past mem
bers of the Oregon athletic setup
include, “The Horse,” “Hip-happy,”
and “Jitterbug.” The last of those
three was tacked on because of
Warren’s dancing ability. The lat
est addition is “Peg-leg,” which
followed after his fall down the
steps of the Igloo.
We’ve Been Foiled
Paging a Mr. Alex Shults of the
Seattle Times. We read an edition
of the Times after the frosh-babe
game in Seattle. On the sports
page there appeared a story by
Shultz, which said the University
of Washington medical corps pro
nounced Darwin Bainton, Babes’
start, out of the line-up for the
rest of the year.
In our story of the frosh-babe
game we played up this fact. A
few days back we read another
story in another paper which stat
ed that Bainton had played in the
game against the Washington
State frosh. He threw a touch
down pass and kicked the extra
point, which gave the babes a tie
with the Cougar frosh.
Somebody is wrong.
Coed Hockegists
Nab All-Star Spots
Oregon’s coed hockey teams
brought home honors from the
northwest hockey conference in
Portland on Columbia field Satur
day, and four of the University’s
star players were named on the
Northwest all-star team.
Oregon’s regular team, the Web
foots, downed Oregon State, 4 to 1,
and 2 to 2 tied with University of
Washington regulars. Oregon’s
second team, the Ducks, downed
the University of Washington
freshman squad, 3 to 0, tied the
Husky regulars, J. and 1, and
trounced Oregon State, 3 to 0.
Robin Nelson, Concha Urquiri,
Margaret Shipler, and Maryland
Christlieb were four Oregon out
standing players to be selected for
the Northwest all-star team. Helen

of all-star substitute.

League Two Play;
Play-off Looms
Intramural “A" league volleyball
ended another season last night in
victory for Yeomen, Kappa Sigma,
Phi Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Al
pha Mu. The “B” league in starting
its last round moved a little closer
to the end of its slate also. In “B"
league tiffs the victory bell sound
ed for Alpha hall and Alpha Tail
Omega.
First and second place teams in
League Six, Kappa Sig and Yeo
men, clinched their positions
against Sigma Nu and Sigma hall,
respectively. While the Yeomen
were trouncing Sigma hall, 15 to 4
and 15 to 8, Kappa Sig took two
from the Nus, 15 to 6 and 15 to 9.
Phi Sigs Win
Oft-beaten Sigma Alpha Mu up
set Canard club in their tilt, 15 to
13 and 15 to 12. In another room
Phi Sigma Kappa maintained their
winning streak by running over
Omega hall. This gives the Phi
Sigs the League Five crown.
Over on the “B" side of the ledg
er, League Two ended its season.
Alpha hall won from the Yeomen,
although they had to go the three
game route to do it. Scores of 15
to 10, II to 15, and 15 to 7 sent
Alpha home happy. At the top of
that league, ATO proving that its
previous victories were no mis
take swamped Pi Kappa Alpha,
15 to 2 and 15 to 3.
Girls' Volley Teams
Advance in Play
Alpha Xi Delta, Hendricks hall,
Co-op, and Pi Phi advanced in the
girls’ volleyball tournament de
feating Delta Gamma, Theta, ZTA,
and Tri-Delt at Gerlinger courts
Tuesday.
Alpha Xi’s one-point margin
proved fatal to the DG squad. DG
leading at half time by a score of
20 to 24, faced its downfall in the
second period of play after a fast
scoring onslaught led by Captain
Barbara Mathias of the Alpha Xi
team.
Hendricks hall, one of the strong
teams this year, took the Theta
girls to a cleaning by a 53 to 12
count. Another landslide saw the
Co-op team overwhelm ZTA 62
to 22. In the second half the Co-op
ran in its substitutes, and they
garnered more points than the reg
ulars.
Pi Phi pinned down the Tri Del
tas, 33 to 24. WAA Prexy, Joanne
Ricsch, Jean Horton, and Mary El
len Mills scored high for Pi Phi.

Ducks 'HaliskiRated
Sector's TopBlocker
By TOMMY MAYES
To say tliat Chet Haliski is a good blocker would be putting it mildly.
He's the best gol’ darndest rootin’ tootin’ blocking black in the Pacific
Northwest ad Jerry Bondfield, NEA staff writer will justify that
statement. He may not be seen sprinting along the sidelines or making
a heroic 83-yard touchdown run, but his job is to see that the path
to the goal posts is strewn with roses—for someone else who usually
gets the glory.
Haliski hails from Portland
whore he fnllbacked his Roosevelt
prep-mates into a close second spot
in the all-city league 'way back ir
'30. It was there that he stood ir
line with Oregon State’s right
guard. Leonard Younce, and the
ex-Stanford flash. Stan Anderson
Haliski was shifted around from
guard to fullback as a sophomore
under Tex Oliver and made hi;
debut last season signal-barking ir
the backficld.
Good Signal-Calling
Matching skill and brains wit!
every quarterback in the coast
loop, Haliski hasn't done a bad jot
yet and it cannot be conceived that
it was by any part his fault for the
Webfoots' drastic outcome this
season.
In the minds of many, his sig
nal-calling in the UCLA game was
the cleanest job an Oregon quarter
back ever ironed out. He plays a
clean game whenever given the
chance and his blocking is one big
factor that makes football in the
Oliver manner a treat to see.
Although he is not exceeding!}
particular in picking an all-eippo
nent team Stanford rates the
toughest backfield he has playcc
against this year; California, the
best balanced outfit; and Southcrr
Cal's Jack Banta is his pick for the
hardest hitting back.
Oregon-OSC Is Tossup
The outcome of the OSC-Oregor
game, according to the modest Mr
Haliski, should be a toss-up, de
cided by breaks. Despite all the
publicity showered on Beavers this
year, he hasn’t the slightest con
ception that they are by any mea
sure superior to his own Oregons.
Majoring in physical education,
Haliski is not strictly devoted to
the gridiron, having played his
hand in baseball, and spends a
large part of his summers hunting
and fishing around the Cascades.
He plays his last game for Ore
gon in Corvallis next week, and it
can be taken for granted that he’ll
make the best of it, win or lose.
