Ancient Rivals Poise for Tilt DucksReadyPassing Attack; UW to Run By JOE MILLER Head Coacli John Warren’s Webfoots polished up their newly-found offense and worked late Thursday on new pass plays in preparation for the assault of the University of Washington Huskies Saturday on the fast turf of Portland's Multnomah stadium. Mentor Warren felt that his squad was coming out of the doldrums and would be ready for the tra ditional fray with the Huskies. The guard post was further weakened when it was announced that Second Stringer Hank Steers would be out with a rib injury. This is the first time either of the Steers twins have been hurt in three years of frosh and var sity play. Fast-Moving' Game Every indication points to a wide-open scoring battle between the ancient rivals. There is no doubt in the mind of anybody that has watched the Webfoots practice this week that they are going to shoot the works against the northerners. The presence of the R-R boys —Roblin and Reynolds in the lineup at the same time give the T-T offense of John Warren double-barrelled power when a scoring opportunity presents it self. The Duck punting depart ment, weak at the start of the season, is now one of the strongest in the conference with either Goblin and Rey nolds a better - than - 40 - yard kicker. If the Oregon's choose to play a waiting game this long range booting should lie an important factor in keeping the Huskies rocked hack on tlicir heels. Welch always turns out wide open offensive elevens and from all advance reports this first var sity club of his is no exception. Most of the Husky offensive comes from the T formation, al though they occasionally revert to the straight Notre Dame sin gle wing. Pete Susick, minute senior from North Bend, Oregon, han dles the ball on ninety per cent of their offensive plays and does all the kicking and passing. Fred Provo, Vancouver speed-burner at right halfback, teams with Fullback Mark McCorlde to give the devastating Washington of fense both speed and power. Neil Brooks, another power house fullback that went over against the Ducks last year at Seattle when the Webfoots came from behind to take a 19 to Id triumph in the coast's most thrill ing game, will be out of action due to a leg injury. Although the betting odds fa :OSC, WSC Risk Records! n i Three conference tills are on coast sports fans’ menus for Sat urday, with two of the league’s unbeaten, untied crews tossing their crystal-white records out into the ring. Washington State, victor over Oregon, 7 to 0, doesn’t risk much when it meets the woefully-weak Montana Grizzly at Pullman. It should be the Cougars in a walk away. OSC Favored A much tougher tilt looms for Oregon State when the “hot” Beavers hustle down to Los An geles, taking on the UCLA Bruin twice-beaten outfit. In spite of vored the Huskies at 10 to 7, Portland pickers would give no points to the Oregons, and the odds swung nearer even money as game time approached. Despite the varying records of the two elevens, the Huskies hav ing swamped C.O.P. 27 to 0 and pushed California all over the field, although only gaining a 0 to 0 tie, while the Ducks were both losing to the Navy Pre flighters and Washington State, the game figures to be a sure tossup. From advance ticket sales the crowd is exported to be far superior to the disappointing 10,500 that watched the Pre flight fray, t'pwurds of 25,000 alumni, students, and support ers of both institutions will be in .Multnomah witnessing the contest—perhaps the final Washing!on-Oregon one for the duration. Each team has won 16 games and tied four over the span of •10 interrupted years. The rivalry is the oldest and most, traditional in the Northwest, and the game is the biggest sectional attraction of the year. Past performances and records have a habit of get ting tossed out of the window when these two schools meet — and it is never liable to prove truer than this Sat;uday. injuries to key men the Orange are going- too strong- to be way laid by the mediocre Ukes. Still stinging- from a pair of spankings administered by WSC and the Navy Cadets, Oregon tarns northward to Portland, engaging Washing ton with a blood-in-the-eye complex. The teams rate about on a par, slight edge to Ore gon if hepped up in this tra: ditional conflict. Non-league tussles are the or der of the day for Southern Cali fornia against Ohio State at Co lumbus and Notre Dame at South Bend, California and Santa Clara at Berkeley. Winners should be Ohio State, Notre Dame, Califor nia all chosen on the strength of past showings. Frosh Gridders Push Plans For Tittle Civil War” Tiff By BILL STRATTON Oregon’s frosh grid machine continued its workouts yesterday in preparation for the “little civil war” scheduled October 23 in Port land. Alter Assistant Coach Kay Segalc finished his ever-irritating conditioning exercises, the yearling squad ran through the dozen or so plays Cornell has given them and then scrimmaged for nearly a half hour. According to Oregon State’s official organ, the Barometer, the xvooks nave me largest turnout in history, including some sizable boys. 245 Pounds The Rooks claim a 245-pounder, but don't explain his ability or physical condition. However, he will outweigh any man on the Duckling squad. Oregon State also claims two aspirants from Honolulu, ac cording to the Barometer. C h u c k Vannatta, Duckling tackle—and a darn good one— is also from Honolulu and he has in.ver heard of the two Kooks that liaVe rated the headlines in the Oregon State publication. The Rook turnout of 106 play ers gives the edge to OSC, but the Oregon yearlings have a squad large enough, and efficient enough to make a creditable first squad \\ ith plenty of reserve strength. The Duckling turnout the first day reached 69. Even though Oregon State has an enormous turnout, the Barom eter states that not much is known about the ability of many of the players. Hook Coach Jim Carr said that he has had a tough enough time keeping track of the huge squad, much less knowing the personnell and their abilities. One Beaverling in particular was sought after by Oregon, namely Bill Wall, husky tackle from Medford. An outstanding athlete in high school, Wall was awarded a medal for his brilliant prep football playing. EX-INDIAN . . . . . . Norm Standlee, Stanford All American now playing ball for Western Army All-Stars. Four Oregons On UW Squads When John Warren's Ducks meet Washington in Portland tgfl morrow, there are four Oregom men that are liable to see ac tion on the behalf of Washington, however—not for the U. of O. Among tfee Oregon boys are three from Portland and one from North Bend. Don Hoff and Don Deeks will possibly see ac tion in the tackle posts, and an other Portland lad, Arnold Wein meister, is almost sure to start at the end post. Pete Susick from North Bend is the outstanding Oregon man on the Husky squad. He has re cently been shifted from half back to quarterback.
