Duck Mermen Begin Splashing Mike Hoyman Primes Squad By DON RICHARDSON “Only time will tell,” was the answer Mike Hoyman, varsity and frosh swimming coach, could give when queried on the pros pects of his 1942 edition of Web foot splashers. And from all ap pearances he is losing none of that valuable time in i«He specu lation. Although the "frosh mermen have not yet been palled,- Hoy man has lost no-time in settling down to the problems of training his "varsity charges.

Since none of the swimmers hold records or championships, it is difficult at the present time to foretell who will loom as the season’s outstanding performer. Returning lettermen are: Cub Callis, Gerald Huestis, Dick Al len, and Dick Smith. Returning from last year’s freshman outfit are: Chuck Nelson, Bob Ervin, John Robinson, John Mead, and Al'Conyne. Other members of the varsity squad are Ralph Huestis, Charles Weitzel, T. Houston, B. Lyon, S. Pooley, D. Wilson, and Bob Prowell.

Ducks Thrash Freshmen In Gridiron Scrimmages By ART LITCHMAN Tex Oliver borrowed the Oregon Ducklings yesterday to drill the varsity for the forthcoming tussle with the Trojans of Southern California. The frosh first stringers, coached by Manny Vezie, varsity back field' mentor, ran the Trojan plays against the varsity second team in preparation for Saturday’s game. -———--— Varsity Smashes Through Vezie used the diagrams of the Trojan plays that Oliver expects the varsity to face in the game. Frosh backs, how ever, had a great deal of trou ble making any of them work against the hard-charging vars ity line. Even the famous Tro jan flat pass play failed to click as the alert defense smothered the hard-w’orkiug freshmen. The frosh southpaw passers were preparing the varsity for Paul Tay’or, Southern Califor nia’s left-handed pigskin pitcher. Even these deceptive tactics failed to worry the varsity. Frosh “Reserves” Rush In Coach John Warren sent the second yearling team into action against the varsity first string on the lower field. Tex Oliver was drilling the varsity on the offen sive strategy to be used against the Trojans. The pea-greeners had a tough time stopping the drives of the varsity backs, and six or seven p ays wou'd have gone for touchdowns if the coach es had not blown the whistle. The varsity “cannon fodder” will work the rest of the week running Southern California plays against the varsity. Fencers Invite Students To First Meet of Year The fencing club will hold its first meeting of the year tonight at 7:30 on the Gerlinger sun porch. It will be an open house mixed fencing party, according to Jack Brown, club president, and all students are invited. LOOK OUT, USC! Tackle Chuck Elliott (left) and Quarterback Duke Iverson (bot tom) invade Los Angeles this weekend with the Webfoot grid team for a battle with USC's Trojans in the coliseum. The game is a toss-up, despite USC’s terrible defeat by Ohio State last Saturday and Oregon's thrill ing show against Stanford. v * VX ’ ' s’", 4 <** ’ ’“'"’’I Students Amaze Profs on Test Evolution is on the decline, one of the professors of journalism is inclined to believe after a group of his freshman journalism stu dents took a current events test. Scientists have determined that in a multiple-choice test of this nature, consisting of 105 ques tions, each with a choice of five possible answers, the percentage of chance should insure one cor rect answer out of every five. Therefore, according to the law of chance, the professor argues a student should get at least one fifth of the answers correct even if he were to employ guess work entirely and no reason whatso ever. Even a monkey, this professor asserted, if he could hold a pen cil in his fist and could go through and check the blanks, would score about 21 correct an swers. Several cases in this survey se verely upset the law of chance as well as the professor, how ever, for it was found that in several instances students had received a “sub-monkey” rating with their score ranging below the law of chance. But “sub-monkey” or not, no 1 f- 1 one has passed the 85 mark yet and some professors who at tempted the quiz furtively ad mitted that from the looks of their scores things were just hap pening too fast for them, to keep up with TIME. _-1 • ■: • ' Rutgers university is observ ing its 175th anniversary.
