Duck
Tracks

OREGON—20, OSC— 0!
As far as I know there was only
one person who came near being
right in his predictions of the final
score. Buck Buckwach, Bruce
Hamby's right hand man in the
athletic publicity office, hit it on
the head when he said, “We'll beat
them by three touchdowns.” . . .
Three touchdowns it was, but from
his actions in the press box during
the game, even Buckwach was
more than a little surprised at the
way the Webfoots plastered the
highly touted Beavers.
It is a slight injustice lo say
the Ducks were "hot.” That im
plies they were playing over
their heads, and I for one don't
believe they were. Their smash
ing victories over Montana and
UCLA earlier in the season, and
brief flashes of offensive power
in all the other games indicated
that they had the makings of a
great team. Last Saturday they
finally lived up to their poten
tialities and the fans that tra
velled to Corvallis and laid $1.10
on the line saw the best team
on the coast in action . . . they
were that day at least and if this
were the beginning of the season
and not the close, the University
of Oregon would be the big fa
vorites to wind up in the Rose
Bowl on New Year’s day.
The final touchdown play, which
saw Roblin start a wide sweep
around the right end and then hand
the ball to Curt Mecham who was
running hell-bent-for-election tow
ard the left side lines, was the most
spectacular play I have ever seen.
It was perfection itself . . . with a
horde of Webfoot interferes ap
parently breaking the way for Rob
lin, the entire Beaver defense was
pulled over to make sure the elu
sive Cocky Roblin didn’t go far.
When Meham took the ball and
started out alone around the weak
side, there wasn’t a man on the
field going in his direction. The
Beavers were fooled completely. By
the time they knew who had the
ball, Mecham had almost reached
the goal line.
Len Isberg really covered him
self with glory with his brilliant
broken field running. Not a fast
man, Len has been criticized on
occasion for his lack of speed.
Slow or not, Isberg was the best,
back on the field Saturday, and
it was his 33-yard return of Kis
selburgh’s punt which set the
Webfoots in position for their
first touchdown. His first score,
exactly five minutes and 33 sec
onds after the kickoff, took the
fight out of the Staters and made
Oregon an unbeatable team.
Don’t forget the rest of our
seniors, namely: Johnny “Buck”
Berry, Dick Horne, Jim Stuart,
Jim Harris, Chet Haiiski, Marsh
Sfcnstrom, Jake Jacobsen, and
Don Mabee. . . . They all played
their hearts out and had a big
band in the ending of Oregon
State's four-year domination of
Oregon football.

Hobby’s Hoopers Tripped by Rubes, 47-40

Pace Oregonians
Jackson's 11-Point Spree in Second Half
Leads Webfoot Scorers; Team Leaves
Friday on Eastern Tour
By KKN CHRISTIANSON
Sports Co-Editor, Oregon Daily Emerald
Kubenstcin’s Oregonians, captained by Bob Anet of Webfoot fame,
sent a badly organized University of Oregon basketball team to defeat
Monday night before approximately 800 Eugene fans. It wgs the second
defeat in as many pre-season games for the Webfoots and the first win
for the Rubes as the opened their campaign for the Oregon AAU title.
The Oregonians are 1940 state AAU champions.
I he linal score read Kubenstems
47, Oregon 40.
During the entire first half, play
was listless, shooting erratic, and
neither team was coordinated. It
was supposedly the second prac
tice for the Oregonians. However,
experience made up for lack of
practice, and the Oregonians scored
the points when they were needed
and were effective on defense as
compared to the Ducks’ defense.
ALL-AMERICAN
Vic Sears, Oregon State tackle,
captained the Beaver team against
Oregon Saturday. Sears was named
all-American by the New York
Sun Sunday.

I.<ii Isberg, Oregon halfback,
will no longer wear the Webfoot
colors. It was he who raised Ore
gon’s punting average with the aid
of Frankie Boyd and Curt. Mceham.
Isberg played the greatest game of
his life Saturday against Oregon
State. The Beavers lost to Oregon,
20 to 0.

Newsreel Shots of
the 050 Game!
Coach Howard Hobson last
night named Guard Don
Kirscli and Forward Quentin
Sidesinger to complete the
ten-man traveling squad
which leaves on a basketball
tour of the East Friday. The
other Oregon players making
the trip are: Vic Townsend,
Hank Anderson, Archie Mar
shik, Evert McNeeley, Paul
Jackson, George Andrews,
Warren Taylor, and Wally
Borrevik.
Paul Jackson, dynamic little
Oregon guard, was the mainspring
on offense during the second half
for the Wcbfoots. Captain Vic
Townsend aided a drowning cause
with his ball-hawking. But the Ore
gons simply couldn't cope with the
experience of the Rubes. The ball
handling of Jack Butterworth, the
shot-making of Ted Sarpola, and
the all-around effectiveness of John
Dick was just too much for Hobby
Hobson’s team.
Sarpola captured high point hon
ors for both teams with 14 points.
Jackson scored 11 marks. Dick of
the Rubes and Oregon's two for
wards, Hank Anderson and Warren
Taylor, tied for third with JO points
each.
The Oregonians made a 35.4
percentage on their field goal at
tempts. Anet’s hoys shot 65
times and made 33 of their at
tempts good. While Oregon could
only make 18 of 75 attempts
for an ineffective 34 percentage.
Oregon started three sophomores
and two seniors in the lineup.
These sophomores were Don
Kirsch, Wally Borrevik, and Tay
lor. Borrevik was filling in for
Archie Marshik who is slightly ili
with a cold, but it is expected that
he will be ready for the University
of Oklahoma next Monday.
Listless Ball
Matt Pavalunas started the Rube
scoring. Townsend tied up the
score. Then came an Oregonian
spurt. Oregon settled down and be
gan to play listless ball which was
matched by Anet's gang. The
Ducks slowly forged into the lead
like a barge going down a stream.
With seven minutes left in the half,
the Oregonians tied up the score
at 13 to 13.
Then the Oregonians kept on
rolling slowly. By halftime, the
count had reached 33 to 16 in
favor of the Oregonians.
The Huhcnstein inertia was
enough to hold it up during the
first part of the second half.
Anet’s gang still poured in points
and Hobson’s crew showed little
in the way of defense which is
perhaps natural in preseason
games.
•laekson Sparks
Then Jackson entered the pic
lure. He had previously made no
points in the second half. He scored
them all at this time going liell
bcnt-for-election down the side
lines or slipping through the Rube
defense near the key. Oregon gath
ered itself together and pulled to
within three points of the Rubes,
but the clock was moviDg on tow
ard the end of the game. The
Rubes began to bring stalling tac
tics into play. Time and again
Townsend would steal the ball, and
an Oregon man would sink a
basket.
But, it was all to no avail, and
the Oregonian lead was lengthened
to seven points when the gun
sounded.

Rivals Vie Before 190,000
Over 190,000 fans up ami down
the coast saw Oregon, Stanford,
Washington, and USC sweep to
victory over their ancient rivals in
the outstanding Pacific coast
games of 1940.
Only upset of the afternoon
was the charging University of
Oregon team’s impressive win
over Oregon State 20 to 0.
Before a booming crowd of 80,000
people the University of Califor
nia in California State's “big
game,” vainly strived to take the
mighty Stanfords, but succeeded
in scoring only one touchdown.
Stanford Picks Nebraska
It was announced after the
game that the undefeated and
untied Stanfords were officially
selected as the Coast conference
Itose Bowl representative. They
in turn selected Nebraska to l»e
their opponents.
The Golden Bears valiantly put
their heart and soul into this game
but apparently it wasn’t enough,
for Stanford, although they had
to fight desperately, managed to
score twice. There was no individ
ual star in the victorious Indian
lineup, but as usual that tremen
dously speedy backfieid of Frank
Albert, Pete Kmetovic, Hugh Gal
larneau, and Norm St and lee
teamed up for the win.
In Seattle a surprisingly small

Is Grid Miracle Man
NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 1910.—Stanford’s losers of 1939 have turned
into the winners of 1940—and a losing team plus a losing coach have
proved that in collegiate football two failures can still make a success.
So declares an article published in Look magazine today entitled, “The
Coach Who Came Back.”
"When he arrived at Stanford,” said Look, “the authorities were
amazed. Here was a man who claimed to be a football coach, yet he

bucket
By TOMMY WRIGHT
I
Like Napoleon at Waterloo, we
(the Bucket and the Dope) took it
on the chin when we picked the
“Aggie* from the Gowlege’’ to
beat the Ducks. The Ducks weren't
ready for soup or dinners, and our
perfect record of not missing on
Oregon this year went by the
boards.
The Bucket and I didn’t do so
bad on Saturday’s games though,
picking a out of 4 to keep our
average above .750 for the sea
son. That last miss was worth it,
worth all the games wc missed
all year in fact.
We are taking our bows now,
and maybe we’ll see you next
year.

He muffed a punt from Isberg, and
Oregon recovered for a gain. The

its three touchdowns.

Miracle Man
Look's article then proceeds to
tell how Clark Shaughnessy, ihc
man who twelve months ago was
the prize failure and laughing
stock of football America, set his
team on the road to a national
championship, and gave the nation
its football miracle for 1940.
Some of the ingredients of
Shaughnefsy’s success formula
included the building of a great
hackfield; teaching them more
football than they ever knew ex
isted; analysis of Stanford's op
ponents until they knew every
thing there was to be known
about them.
The offense which Shaughnessy
introduced at Stanford, says Look,
is based on that used by the Chi
cago Bears professional team and
is so complicated that enemy
scouts laughed at the idea of col
legians attempting to master a
plan of attack designed for the
best pros. But Shaughnessy did
his job.
Halfback Warren Panushka, a
22-year-old senior at Macalester
college who never played football
in either high school or college, is
in the Macalester starting lineup
this year.
