Duck Tracks By BOB FLAYELLE, Co-Sports Editor With but two days remaining be fore the big game of the year, that with Oregon State college at Cor vallis, Coach Tex Oliver continues to fear the power of the press and refuses to allow Emerald reporters or sports editors to view the prac tice sessions. Ordinarily this treatment would not be worthy of comment in this column. Every coach likes to take his team away from the prying eyes of newswriters be fore the year’s important game and teach them new plays and strategy to stop the opponents on the following Saturday. But when secret practices are held for a period of three straight weeks, I think it indicative that football as it is handled at the University of Oregon is no longer for the students but is appar ently an independent organiza tion. In the first place, football and The Emerald are both University activities and a spirit of coopera tion should be present between the two. Neither should work against or dictate to the other. Most stu dents are interested in their team and the only way they can keep in touch with their progress is to read their paper. They could take a trip out to Hayward field and EXPERT INSPECTION FOR YOUR WATCH • OUR SKILLED American watchmakers will be glad to inspect your watch without charge.

By the time they battered down the fence, hog tied four or five managers, slugged the trainer, and out-talked the coach, they would be in no condi tion to even lie in bed and listen to an account of the goings-on. Maybe Next Year Perhaps there are occasions when the Emerald could lose a game for the coach by exposing his plans to the enemy and ruining a week of careful scheming and trap setting, but I doubt it. The purpose of this paper is not to tell the fans that Oregon is working out an intricate quadruple reverse play that ends up in a half-gainei followed by a triple lateral for a full-gainer, but to give them a line on how their favorite players are performing and what the team's chances will be in the next game, The present relations between the Emerald and the football coach are far from serene. Luckily this is the last game of the season and prospects are bright for a success ful year in 1941. We sincerely hope that future writers will find it much simpler to write stories con cerning a winning team than we did trying to cover the affairs of a losing one. Stuart Versus Sears Oregon will face one of the hard est hitting teams in the conference when they line up against the Beavers this Saturday. No less than five possible all-coast choices are present in this year’s creation of Coach Lonnie Stiner. Vic Sears, tackle, Len Younce, guard, John Leovich, end, Jim Kisselburgh, full back, and George Peters, quarter back being the players worthy of all-star mention. Jim Stuart is the only Web foot with a chance of making an all-coast selection and his battle with Sears this Saturday should be worth going miles to witness. They both play at the tackle positions and this game should definitely establish the superior ity of one of the two rivals. Stiner says Peters is one of the best football players he has evei seen. A fine pass receiver, and equally good on pass defense, Pet ers is the key blocker in the Ore gon State offense and is hailed as the hardest tackier on the squad, He may not get away for long runs, in fact he may not even carry the ball, but spectators who like to see more than a ball carrier will get a kick out of watching him perform. Oregon will be at full strength this weekend and if they can rcacn the heights of their game as they did when they bowled over UCLA a few weeks ago, the third place Beavers may find themselves the victim of an upset by a club at present in seventh place in Pacific coast standings.

Played for Jefferson After copping football laurels at Jefferson high school in the Port land prep circuit where he sported the chevrons for one of Eric Wal dorf’s many all7city championship squads, graduate managers up and down the coast began clamoring for this brazen Mr. Jacobson. In spite of four football scholarships and open purses forked under his nose, "Jake’’ pushed aside all temptations and checked his bag gage for Eugene and the Univer sity of Oregon. Jane, as he is popularly known around the campus, boasts a well rounded personality, belongs to the Friars, bangs the gavel for his Kappa Sigma brothers, and plays top-flight golf. And what’s more - he has brains, too, and hair oil! In spite of these many activities, he has easily overcome the “high life" pressure and sends home a report card with a cool three-point grade average. He is also a mem ber of the University's CAA "gledgling" class, having sprouted wings last spring.
