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

view the practice through their
own. eyes but I doubt if it would
be worth the struggle. 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.

Six Oregon seniors go lee-way when they meet Lonnie Stincr's much

most newsworthy member of this graduating sextet can be chosen, it’s
sure to be Center Erling Jacobsen. Ending his third season with the

bench, “Jake” winds up his gridiron career with a reputation of being

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.
Eyes OSC Game
.Jacobsen looks forward to the
annual Beaver clash his fourth on
the record — with optimism. “We
should have plenty of respect for
that bunch," he said with all the
trimmings of a gentleman, “but we
can beat them,” he added. He ad
mits Stanford is the toughest out
fit he has taken opposition to this
season.

Between being' chief field general of Oregon's football team and
directing "Muscle Men" Frank Meek, Bob Engelke, incorported, in
shooing snooping newsmen off the scene of mock skirmishes for the
Webfoot-Beaver clash Saturday, Duck Coach Gerald "Tex" Oliver ap
parently is pretty much occupied. Anyway, the silent Lone Star stater
has not been mouthy about his team’s alleged lethargy and the opposi
tion's slashing power. I-—-:
