DUCK BOARD OF STRATEGY PLOTS . . .
. . . against invading- Idaho Vandal club, coaches Manny Vezie, John Warren, and Ray Segale.
Frosh-Varsity
Fight Looms
By BILL STRATTON"
After three consecutive defeats, Oregon’s var
sity gridmen take a week of rest with all efforts
pointed toward the Idaho game—the first home
game—a week from Saturday. Warren announced
Wednesday that the Ducks would take it easy
this week, with a possible scrimmage against the
frosh Saturday. 3J
Pre-season prognosticators doped Oregon to
end up in the lower bracket of the Pacific Coast
conference, and made the rash prediction that
the Webfoots would possibly bow to the Vandals.
Ducks Lose 'Em Close
Oregon has probably not the best team in
the conference this season, but they are not
the worst. They have dropped three straight, but
all to top-notch teams and by a small margin.
Idaho has lost to Oregon State, 33 to 0,
and beat little Cheney State in last week's
game, 28 to 7. In the past, Idaho and Ore
gon have played 28 games—Oregon has won
22, the Vandals 2, and 4 have been ties.
Regardless of Oregon’s statistical record this
season, they should be rated over Idaho. Oregon’s
principal annoyance wil come from Howard Man
son, who has sparked the Vandals thus far this
year, and is certainly not to be overlooked—and
you can be sure that “Honest John” won't.
Webfoots Ease Up
The Duck squad will take it easy this week,
concentrating on the mistakes made in the Wash-jj
ington tilt. Warren drilled the varsity on punt
Frosh Dummy Scrimmage;
Several Still On Sick List
By SI SIDESINGER
Under the watchful eyes of Coaches Anse Cornell and Ray
Segale, Oregon’s Duckling football squad spent Wednesday
evening in dummy scrimmage.
With several outstanding freshmen on the sidelines with
injuries, the squad still shows great promise as individual
players. Whether or not they may be combined into a good
Coeds Open
V-Ball Season
Girls' intramural volleyball got
off to a “hangup” start yesterday
•afternoon in Gerlinger gymnasi
um as Orides, Susie, and Hilyard
Ivouse garnered victories. The
play as a whole was good consid
ering how early it is in the sea
son, but lack of good teamwork
was common.
With “Pete" Lawson’s and
Mary Anderson's spikes taking
points, from the Gamma Phi
eight, Orides' experienced court
aters came through with a 48118
victory.
Susan Campbell upset their
own predictions and everyone
olse's as they overcame a stub
born Alpha Gam team, 47-17,
Susie shows a well-balanced
club, backed by strong substi
I tiles.
An enthusiastic but inexperi
enced Delta Gamma eight lost to
Captain Jo Reginato's Hliyard
group, 41-24. DCs were troubled
plenty by Phyllis Lloyd's expert
spiking.
An all-star lineup of games
are on tap for this afternoon as

Friday evening, October 23, the
baby Ducks receive their first
test of teamwork on Oregon
State’s Bell field when they meet
the Oregon State Rooks in the
initial game of the freshman sea
son.
The freshman hacks show
promise of tremendous * speed
while the linemen are lar^f•
enough to handle themselves
against Oregon State or Wash
ington freshman teams. Cor
nell realizes the individual
qualities of t lie frosh but is not
satisfied with the team play.
In the backfield, Ben Holcomb
of The Dalles still shows his
heels to other competition and so
far has done the signal calling
for the squad. Vern Wheeler, high
scoring back from Newport, has
so far been unable to turn out
because of an infected foot. How
ever lie should bo ready to go
next Monday.
Tom Drouga, 210-pound full
back, has not yet reached top
conditioning but should prove a
valuable asset to the line buck
ing department when he does.
In the line Harold Ableson,
Chuck Vanatta, and Don Stanton
show varsity possibilities. Ray
Heindenrich has good possibili
ties but lacks the aggressiveness
shown by other tackles.

ment of hygiene has worked out
a co-operative plan for emergen

and the city of Berkeley.

Joe Gordon
Comes Home
Joe Gordon’s home! The hoot
and-holler guy that covers sec
ond base for the New York Yan
kees returned to Eugene yester
day and was warmly greeted by
his Oregon friends.
They kind of remember Gor
don around these parts. He used
to play baseball for the Univer
sity of Oregon. In fact, he got
his sheepskin here along about
1936. A year later, he broke into
the coast league, covering an in
field position for Oakland Acorns,
on a cash basis.
He must have looked good be
cause after a year with Newark
in the International league, the
Yankees had him ink his John
Henry to a fat contract. He's
been with them ever since.
Eugene's number one athlete
plans to leave shortly for east
ern Oregon, on his animal hunt
ing jaunt. He will be accompan
ied by Laddie Gale, former all
American hoopster for the Ducks.
Joe has played in three world
series now. He’s been a member
of the best team in baseball two
out of those three series.
