Ducks Get Glance at QT; Sophs Shine In Workout . By WALLY HUNTER r. The ’tntrieaeies of Babe Mor rell’s QT f(rmaatiGR ^ot-aii airing: on Hayward field last night and Oregon’s Webfoots found the UCLA offense confusing no end. ver at the.- wit-of the practice Sack srfcua ation—- We need a lot of work on it.” The QT formation — which at the outset of -the 'season was con sidered a first-line opposition be fuddler—works somewhat on the order of the T formation. The quarterback handles the ball on nearly every play, and the right half is in motion to the right or left. The left half and fu'l form the cross bar of the T. The QT is different in that it operates from a single wing back. John -Warren's Goslings were ■the-test- squad for the varsity and according to Oliver did - l ifffet we l with the Bruin of fense. The freshmen were re cruited for the scrimmage be cause the small Duck squad hasn’t enough men for an al’ around workout without the help of the first year men. Vernier Shines Sophomore sub right end, Don Vernier, was the outstanding Duck in yesterday’s practice. Ver nier was recently shifted to end and showed plenty on both of fense and defense. Halfback Jim Newquist also received the plaud its of Oliver for his sparkling de fensive and offensive work. “An other boy who showed lots ot promise was Bob Simpson.'’ said Oliver. Simpson has made the switch from end to halfback to mane up for Oregon’s lack of available backs. One major switch in Ore gon’s offensive plans has break away specialist Tommy Iloblin filling in at the fullback past. On regular p'ays from scrim mage Roblin is scheduled to operate from the tailback posi tion but will resume his duties at safety on defense. Although sitting on the top rung of the coast conference win ladder Coaches Oliver, Vezie, and Cor’ey aren’t wasting their time on daydreams. They are plenti fu'ly supplied with worry over this game. This game is a key tilt because one more conference loss would send the Webfoots into the league gutter—probably for the remainder of the season. “Keep ’em swimming” is Mike Hoyman’s watchword when he sets out to train a winning swim ming aggregation. In fact, he has kept his swimmers so busy that he figures by next week they will be over the hump—that is, they will be in such good shape that swimming will cease to be a drudgery and will become con stantly easier. Not that the boys don’t like swimming, but it’s just that those first few weeks of training are pretty painful until the muscles get used to the long workouts. This week Hoyman is going to give his supermen a double dose of time tria's. On Thurs day he Dlans to hold, for the first time, speed trials of 200 yards in the freesty’e and 150 yards in the backstroke. This will be an opportunity for the sprint men to turn the heat on the distance aces. Saturday brings the big test. Mermen Grueling Duckling Gridders Prime For Husky Babe Invasion Victorious in their opening game with the Oregon State Rooks, Oregon’s Duckling football squad is preparing this week for the invasion of the Babes from University of Washington Friday, October 24. The squad was split up Monday with part of the Frosh using UCLA plays in drilling the varsity, as they will continue to do for the rest or tne weeK. Dummy Scrimmage Held The remainder engaged in a light dummy scrimmage, in an effort to work out the kinks of Friday night’s game. The freshmen came out of the Rook game practical’y unscathed, although a few minor injuries were sustained. Bob Reynolds, the dusky speedster from Portland, who set up the lone score with his 45-yard gallop, received a bruised leg and was taking it easy Monday. LeRoy Erikson, the boy who sparked the Duck ling atack and tossed the touch down pass, was also on the sick list with a badly bruised thigh. The big. forward wall, that looked so good in their initial en counter, survived the clash with but the usual minor bruises and aches. Each man will paddle 1320 yards in the most gruelling trial yet run. If they get by this one, and Hoyman knows they wi 1, then the ceiling will be the limit. Latest University of Iowa stu dent to enter movies is 23-year old Jean Fitzgerald, who passed her screen test while recovering from a broken back suffered in a fall off a cliff. Arthur Mason Brown will be the fourth generation of his fam ily to receive a degree at Dart mouth college. Men and women freshmen at Macalester college enjoyed week end camp outings before the school year opened. UCLA NEXT! Duck wingmon Tony Crish (left) and Bill Regner (right), who played prominent roles in dunking California Saturday, look forward to Oregon’s “key” bat tle with UCLA this weekend. It’ll be Oli ver’s “Twist” against Horrell’s QT. Donut Football Roaring Home Seven teams lead the pack as the six intramural football leagues roar down the stretch for the 1941 playoffs. Kappa Sigma cinched the crown in League V last night when they dumped the Sherry Ross hall team, 12 to 7. Phi Delta Theta leads in League I with a clean slate and three victories.
