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.

Still stinging- from a pair of
spankings administered by
WSC and the Navy Cadets,
Oregon tarns northward to
Portland, engaging Washing

complex. The teams rate about

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.

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.
