A stream of excited students pouring into the east side of Hayward field. Lemon and green rooter lids and pom-poms adding a brilliant hue to the still, cool air (sez the chamber <>f commerce). Inside on the turf football players Hexing Anxious muscles and running through formations. Across to the west a sea of orange and black splashed in against the conservative colors of ordinary Ians. Then the Star-Spangled Banner—the clear voice of a radio announcer saying, “The referee is laying the ball down on the 40-vard .... It’s a hastily drawn picture but it’s a very small yart of what you'll see tomorrow when Oregon meets Oregon State in a game that ranks this week with the annual Army-Navy classic, the Stanford-California feud, and the various other “naturals” the country over. Who's Going to Win? Who’s going to win? It’s'a silly question because 1 don’t jenovv and 1 wouldn't even guess. Three weeks ago alter seeing Oregon Slate wallop 1 CLA 1 would have said tin* Reavers by two touchdowns-—-two weeks ago i would have still taken OSC l>y one touchdown, but right now I’m keeping my mouth shut. I can tell you wliat others, who are supposed to know, are saying though. The bookies who choose to make a living by telling us who’s going to win, are suggesting you put your next week's allowance on the Beavers. If you want Oregon, six of your iron men will cover ten put on the Beavers. Rut lliese bookies are overlooking one small item. It's Oregon and Oregon State who are playing and you can't pick odds on (hat game because anything can happen. A Quick Glance Granting that Tex is able to get most of his players out of the infirmary and off of crutches by game time, we’ll try a summary of what you can expect in general strength of the two teams. At the halfback posts things match up pretty even. It’s Don Durdan and Bob Dethman pitted against Tommy Roblin and Curt Mecham. It adds up to two good runners in each backfield. Each team lias a lefthander who can hurl ’em far and wide. They’ve both got good punters with Oregon taking a healthy nod in this department with Roblin and Mecham. At the fullback Oregon State has a small advantage. Joe Day and Choc Shelton are hard-smashing runners. However, Rob Koch's sudden flash to form in the Washington game offsets somewhat the advantage, and if Newquist can shake his cold, things could be pretty even. OSC in the Line Even with the hefty I'd pounds per man advantage that Ore gon packs in the line, the nod must go to the OSC front wall. In the last four games the opposition has failed to get past it to score. In fact, to date, only four touchdowns have been wo red against the Reavers. The column can’t forget either how UCLA had a first down on the Beaver one-yard line and then ended up after four tries on the five. Lon Stiner\s use of signals on defense has been successful this year and lias proved to be a bitter headache to the opposi tion. It’s disheartening to any quarterback to look over the way the defense is set, call the play and then as he comes out of the shift to see the defense change. So if you want to see the real battle on Hayward field to morrow. keep your eyes peeled on the lines. The game’s very likely to be decided there. Spiking Some Rumors And now to spike a malicious suggestion that is floating around, to wit. it would he nice if Oregon State won so that an Oregon team could go to the Rose Bowl. That's hooey my friend. This game is Oregon vs. Oregon State and Rose Rowl be damned. Ami as for the suggestion that the Rose Bowl visions that are soaring on the OSO campus may tie up the Reavers—take some salt with that one too. True, it might weigh heavily on their minds, but the cousins from Corvallis have a particular style of football this year. They haven’t a wide selection of plays and the few aren’t too spectacular. Bid they have got them down to that ’enth degree and when they start a play they have well in mind where it’s going and how far it’s going. They’re well coached and the Rose Bowl dream won’t make them forget all that coaching.

Hendricks Bites Susie For Coed <V’ Ball Title By NANCY LEWIS Hendricks hall “all-star” vol leyball team scuttled Susan Campbell's hopes and steamed off with the 1941 coed intramural volleyball title yesterday on the Gerlinger court. Playing non-rotation in the first half, the Susie girls couldn't pierce Hendricks’ strong front wall to regain the brief advan tage they managed to grasp at the game’s outset. Hendricks Takes Over Near the middle of the first half it became evident how the tide of battle was rolling, for by then the Hendricks coeds had moved into a comfortable 6-point lead. At the end of the half Su san Campbell had nibbled one point of that lead, and the girls changed courts with the count, 11 to 6, in favor of Hendricks. Brilliant strategy displayed by both teams pioduced long, well coordinated rallies and resulted in the low half-time score. Beverly Goetz’s “let’s go fel lers!" put the “go” in the Hen dricks coeds, and the smooth machine went speeding on to a 85-to-23 victory, despite a dogged Susie rally sparked by its star, Dorothy Gustafson, which deadlocked the game in the middle of the second half, 11) to 11). Susan Campbell, how ever, soon faltered under Hen dricks’ pressure. Rotation playing in the second half saw both teams perform on near-equal terms. Eula Frobase, Miss Goetz, and Pauline Johnson—the solid front wall—backed by Elizabeth Hecht. led Headricks hall to victory. Miss Gustafson and powerful Doris Nordstrom starred for the vanquished team. The lineups are as follows: Hendricks, 35 Hecht Collins Frizzell Riley Johnson Frobase Goetz Butler Puziss Susan Campbell, 23 Whitton Gibson Smith Nordstrom Orwick Gustafson Gunther Short Hansen Officials: Eastburn, Baum, Shipler, and Lawson.

OSC in Pink For Annual ‘Civil War1 By WALLY HUNTER Oregon State’s Beavers con cluded their main scrimmage ses sions Wednesday and the largest portion of the Orange squad will be in fit physical condition to morrow when the Beaver and the Duck settle a little question with in the narrow confines of Hay ward field. The Orange are in top shape for the annual fiesta and only Tackle George Bain is still on the ailing list. Blocker George Peters, the man over whom the OSC coaches have been losing the most sleep, is back in form again. Razzle-Dazzle for OSC Reports oozing forth from the Corvallis sector have it that the Bevos will spring a few new plays on the Webfoots come Saturday. They are la beled by State experts as extra special raz ma’ daz plays. They were used by the Orange varsity against the Babes this week. This could be some of the old psychological angle being worked again—but the Beavers actually did have some hipper dipper that they brought but in spring practice. It was un doubtedly consigned to the moth balls but in order to stir^ up a little extra trouble for the Ducks it is being dusted off for use again. In spring drill they had a couple of very powerful end around plays, such as Washington State used, and several reverses. Vari ous other razzle dazzle was evi dent in their plans then. “Bear” Stories As for the Oregon injuries, Coach Lon Stiner has labeled the Webfoots’ report of injuries as “bear” stories. Stiner said that this is the same thing that al ways comes out of Eugene at this time of year, according to official Orange reports. In the statistical department the Beavers hold a rather marked edge over the Web foots. On defense the Webfoots have been able to hold their opponents to about twelve points per game, on the aver age. In the meantime OSC has had a well nigh impenetrable defense—their opponents aver age 3.25 points per game. A fierce duel is expected to develop on the torn green of Hay ward field when Don Durdan and Bob Dethman of Oregon State and Curt Mecham and Tommy Roblin of Oregon cut loose.
