Fresh Add Stevens Doughboys To Season’s Gridiron Lineup Beef Brewing For Astoria SaturdayNite By AL GOULD Another game was added to the Oregon Duckling schedule when Anse Cornell, UO athletic direc tor, concluded negotiations with authorities at Fort Stevens for a hall game to be played in Astoria Saturday night. Cornell was in Los Angeles last A^ek with the varsity and Fort Stevens authorities telegraphed him, asking for a game this week. Upon his return to Eugene, Cor nell met with the athletic board and consummated scheduling of the tilt. Leave Friday The Frosh will leave Eugene Friday noon, and return Sunday morning. During their two-day trip to Astoria, the Ducklings will stay at the barracks of Fort Stevens. Also on tap Thursday for the freshmen was a bit of posing in full game attire for the benefit of photographers. In a final tuneup before their game with the so’diers, the Frosh continued their offensive drilling. Heartening was the appearance of Bill Davis, num ber one fullback, in suit for the first time since the Washing ton game. Both Stan Boyd and Lyman Glasgow have been absent from practice all week, nursing injured knees. It is still doubtful whether they will be able to get in Satur day’s tussle. Upon their arrival in Astoria, the Frosh will hold a light work out, to limber up before the even ing game. No information on the Fort Stevens outfit is available, but the lineup will undoubtedly be sprinkled with ex-high school and college stars, as are the many army clubs that are playing foot ball this fall. The yearlings will have a tra veling squad of 35 players. Independents,! Thetas Triumph Kappa Alpha Theta last night ran up the largest score of the day’s competition in WAA volley ball \dhile trouncing Alpha Xi Delta with a score of 46 to 16. In an accompanying contest, coed Independents administered a terrific 40 to 14 beating to Alpha Omicron Pi.

Oregon has choked on, but swallowed, two very bitter pills in the present campaign. The first was dished up by Stanford in the opening game of the season and the most bitter was served up UCLA style last Saturday. The Cougars have been covered with gutter garbage three times but in annihilating the flat tailed rodents from Cor vallis last week they looked noth ing but terrific. WSC Stuff Given Ducks The Webfoots have been drill ing steadily this week on the new Hollingbery hipper-dipper, and from reports echoing from the confines of Hayward field Coach Cterald Oliver is far from satis fied. The Duck frosh have been working the WSC plays every night and are doing right well. The double-barrelled offense of the Cougars is the biggest thing tho Webfoots have to fear. Pass-crazy Billy Sewell is always present to lead the Cou gar’s deadly air game and new ly found fullback Bob Kennedy leads the ground forces. To add to this several end around plays are built around Dale Gentry. There are slap-happy gents all over the Beaver campus at present who will tell you that they tried to mow down the mammoth end—but don’t ask for details. The physical conditions of the Oregon men has been a little on the rocky side since the Ukes got through—but everyone but tackle Ed Moshofsky is expected to be ready by game time. If the guy that dishes out the weather for Eugene and vicinity can keep his hands off the rain enea by the Alpha Xi Delta team. The lead in the Independent AOPi contest see-sawed at the outset. Before very long, how ever, the Independents found the range and began knocking the ball into the oppositions’ court with accuracy par excellence. switch for the next two days Hayward field should be in first class condition for the Saturday fray. Oregon has yet to play a home game that has been un spoiled by surly weather, and a dry field should aid the Webfoot cause. In sheer power the WSC lads seem to have the edge be cause of boomer boy Kennedy. On the other hand the plunging of both Bob Koch and Bill Dunlap has been above average in many instances and if the Webfoots are forced to blast for yardage, too much trouble shouldn’t ensue. Although not of the utmost im portance (at present) one of the highlights of the game con'd be a punting duel between Duck Curt Mecham and Cougar Sew ell. Mecham’s punting has been tops on the coast all season, and two years ago Sewell was the leading punter on the coast. This fall Sewell’s punts haven’t broken any records for distance but if the safety ever gets his hands on them he is indeed a lucky man. The lithe Cougar has a tantaliz ing habit of dropping the ball out of bounds usually near the oppo sition’s ten-yard marker. To blow over the prowess of Mecham is needless. He has an average of 41.4 per kick and half of the time the ball was as wet and heavy as an overripe squash.
