Football Wars Find New Battlefield — the Orient -J 1- ■ By TOMMY MAYES “.Jim Kisselhurgh . . . they got tiim!” We aren't supposed to believe rumors and no one was sure of ’Course, but it went around quite n while that the former Oregon 4State fullback was one of an odd «core or so who went down over JPearl Harbor. Newspapers haven't carried the story and they ■aren't building any sort of mem orial on Bell field; and so this *mpredicted gossippatter can't be true at all. Kisselhurgh fledged wings with UMrtnwny lastspring. \\ ato^yiy»se Burner*! You just, m it yaur pipe vmd smoke it. Rumors are bad things for morale, you know, when you get to fighting the war with your niuuth. Han^-made communiques-make it sp ^rrify mg that foot lid 1 players are be ginning to think they'd better hoop their wars on the gridiron. It's folly to hear stuff like that when official warrants haven't posted a single American athlete La-1 =K'.t A NOVEL HIT! 'Hero Comes Mr. Jordan' with Bob Montgomery and Claude Rains — also — 'Stick to Your Guns' with William Bovd on the casualty list. Latest to go into the service was George Van Pelt, Oregon end, Martin Chaves, Beaver ltose Bowl captain plans to leave for Moffett field as soon as the hack-slapping and med al-pinning is over up In Corval lis. Three Alabama men were sworn into the navy at halftime during the Cotton Bowl game in Dallas, adding to some SO Southerners who took in papers during the New Orleans Shrine game. Bob Smith, Del Bjork, Mike Mikulak, and Warren “Teeny” Smith, 1040 shortstop are four other Oregonians now enlisted. Crowley, Bierman In Wallace Wade, Duke's grid mentor, revealed yesterday three fourths of his men were enlist ing. Fordham lost a '42 all-Amer ica aspirant and a good deal of confidence when her coach, Jim Crowley, found his number among the "next up." That counts for Minnesota's Barnie Bierman, too. Lack of raw material will leave the nation’s football forecast at a low ebb next fall as any curb stone quarterback can see but it looks as if Japan has a fourth down and a long way to go. Miss Wood Bereaved Mabel A Wood, head of the home economics department, will not be on the campus until the end of the week owing to the death of her mother in Gresham on New Year's eve. Invading WSC Foe. Rated Over Ducks Hobby Likes Odds; Tough Battle Looms (Continued from page one) Neither outfit can boast an undefeated pre-season record, though the Cougars can point to a superior offensive average than that which the Ducks have chalked up in early play. Coach Jack Friei’s quintet hit the hemp for well over 45 points per contest, while the Duck average falls considerably less, 36 points per game. Oregon Supreme Defensively Defensively, Oregon seems to have a meager advantage, having a 33 point average garnered by opponents, while the Cougars de fense has yielded 35 points. Source of Washington State’s scoring punch rests in three aces, any of which might break out with a “hot” streak. Leading point-provider is Captain Kirk Gebert, only regular holdover from last year’s starting lineup. Although just 5 feet 9 inches tall, the lithe Longview senior has con sistently been a “thorn” in his opponents’ side, both defensively and offensively. Considered by Coach Friel himself as a very potential scoring threat and one who has paced many a cougar victory in pre-conference encounters is Marvin Gilberg, 6 foot 2 inch forward. The third member of this offensive trio is Center Gail Bishop, 6 foot 3 inch soph omore pivotman. Remainder of the Cougar start ing five will probably be Owen Hunt, a six-foot junior from Highline, Wash., at guard, and A1 Akin, a sophomore forward from Spokane. Sheridan on Squad Bob Sheridan, ex-Oregon frosh player and purgee victim of the Atherton scourge, will be includ ed in the 11-man traveling squad which reached Eugene via twTo new station wagons. A sopho more from Portland, Sheridan has been used considerably in re serve work for the Cougars this season. No definite lineup has been issued front the Duck camp, but in all probability will be the same which has opened the last few warm-up contests. This unit, which was given a severe test on the eastern exposition, has drilled doggedly this week, despite electrical difficulties which rendered the Igloo in semi-darkness. Wren Tops Scorers Sophomore Bob Wrren, who has availed himself as the leading Duck scorer on the lengthy road trip with 74 points, will undoubt edly get the starting call at one of the forward spots. Rolph Fuhrman, a side-shot specialist who gathered in 49 points in the eleven practice games, will prob ably fill in at the other forward position. The “Paul Bunyan” of the out fit. tall Lloyd Jackson, has edged out two-year veteran, Archie Marshik, and will open at cen ter. Guard positions are being capably plugged by Captain “Porky” Andrews, who has made 57 points so far, and dynamic Paul Jackson, who is second high scorer with 64. Officials for the series will be Frank Henegis and Carl Lenchis ky. Bob Irvin’s Return Bolsters Splashers By DON RICHARDSON Everyone is familiar with the iatest slogan: “There has been some thing new added,” or words to that effeet. There has been something new added to the Oregon swimming team, and it is one of the most potent charges that Coach Mike Hoyman could wish for. After being out most of last tie All-American” Bob Irvin, ace term with an infected foot, “Lit Duck sprinter, has returned to the water for keeps. All-Star Frosh In recognition o: his perform ances last year as a freshman, Irvin was chosen as one of the outstanding first-year swimming men in he country and was placed on the National Intercollegiate Swimming association’s national freshman swimming team. It was in the Frosh-Univer sity Hi meet early last spring that he unofficially broke two Pacific Coast conference rec ords. In the 40-yard sprints he dashed for the time of 18.6 sec onds, five-tenths of a second faster than the coast mark. In the 100-yard event he beat the coast mark with the time of 53.4 seconds. There is more than an even chance that the Ducks will have another speedy sprinter if husky Chuck Weitzel gets by Mr. Ath erton and his rulings. The diving department has been pulled from the cellar with the return of “Ox” Wilson, a re covered pneumonia victim, and Tom Corbett, a newcomer to the Duck ranks. For a while it looked as if the diving boards might have to come down for lack of aerial men, but with the appear ance of these two hopefuls, the outlook has brightened. The first meet is scheduled for^ January 17, an evening contest with the Portland Swimming club which was formerly the famed Aero club. The Webfoot squad may™be somewhat on the small side, but that will more than be made up in speed and endurance. Bill Ord man, a member of last year’s championship Washtagton squad, who has transferred to Eugene, and who, by the way, is ineligible this season, was amazed yester day at the showing made by the Oregon splashers during the daily workout. Anyway, it is a good sign. As the undertaker said when he picked up the guy who had just swallowed a quart of shellac: “Some finish!” —Barometer.
