From left to right it’s Hank and How dy Steers—or is it Howdy and Hank? It’s pretty iiard to say for the two burly Steers boys are the spittin' image of each other. Hank, or is it Howdy, plays left guard and—well, the other takes his turn at right guard and both of ’em are pretty nice players, in this, their first year of varsity play. 'lllllllllllliilillllHIIIIIIllllllllIlllIIl Duck Gridders Look Lousy * In Scrimmage: Sophs Shine By BILL STRATTON Of all the workouts the Webfoot grid squad has had this season, probably none have been as unsuccessful as yesterday’s. Head Coach Warren commented at the close of the “scrimmage,” “What’s the matter with you guys . . . does your glory hurt, or is it your feet?” Regardless of whether it was the glory or feet that hurt, the vyorkout was not a success. Something .was the matter with the whole team, that caused dissension in the ranks. Oxman Injured The result was practically nothing accomplished, and one injury. Fullback Tom Oxman bruised the knee that has kept him out since the start of the season, but the doc explained that it was nothing serious and he may be ready for the Idaho game a week from Saturday. Even though a general failure, the workout was not without its good points. The up-and-coming sophomore backs continued to show steady improvement. Bobby Reynolds and Leroy Erickson shone in the pass slinging department, completing several for long gains and a major portion of the offensive team’s yardage in the makeshift scrimmage. Reynlds made considerable yardage from rushing, also. Ducks Look Good Sophomore fullback Bill Davis made continual gains through the second string line, except through Tommy Roblin, who was the mainstay of the blue-clad defensive squad. One change was made in the Duck lineup. Don Brown, sophomore, who hasn’t seen much action this^ year, was changed from blocking back to guard. Brownw is still in the formative stage, but “Honest John” said at the first of the season, “Watch this boy; he’s a comer.” He may still come around this season in his new position.

Schedule Set For Tank Team The coachless Oregon tank team at least has a schedule for the season. While the search goes on for a swimming' coach for the Duck splashers, the result of Mike Hoyman's resignation last spring, a schedule has been drawn up for the Northern Division and myth ical coast champions. The schedule will include six splashes, three at home and three away from home. The schedule lias been cut as compared to last year’s setup when the team trav eled south to beat the Olympic club, Stanford, and Fresno State. It was after the bathtub brawl ers returned from these meets that they plowed' through all northern talent and then out splaslied the combined power of their opponents to roll rip more points than all competitors and wrap up the crown. The schedule for this year lists the opener with (ISO at Corvallis on January lit). The Beavers come here on February 6, followed by two more home appearances, Idaho on Febru ary 12. and Washington State the following night. The Ducks meet the always powerful Washington team in Seattle on February 20. The Northern Division championship swim has been set for February 27 and will be held at either Seat tle or Corvallis.

A thirty-yard heave from Cawley to Girdlestone in the third quarter was good for the only touchdown of the game. Sherry Rcss never threatened. Outstanding player of the game was Girdlestone who played beautiful ball both offensively and defensively. The lineups were: Kappa Sigma Sherry Ross Taylor.C. Perry Girdlestone.LE. Unkeles Meritt.RE.

Lynch Betas, 34—Sigma Hall, 0 The Beta Tide rolled formid able against Sigma hall in what turned out to be a walk-away for the mill race boys to the tune of 34 to 0. With Bob Dud den tossing the sphere all over the field to gents like Warren Finke, Crowell, Jack Warrnes, and Bill Read, the Betas scored in each quarter. The winners thwarted all at tempts by the hall men to mus ter up any kind of an offense. ATO, 8—Campbell, 0 A blocked kick by Bud Vande neynde gave the ATOs a touch down over Campbell in the sec ond quarter, and they grabbed a safety in third to put on the clincher and win the game, 8 to 0. The blocked kick came when a Campbell kicker, booting from his goat line was a mite too slow and Bud blocked the attempted kick for six points for the ATOs. A1 Rouse. ATO speedster, got away for several rambling runs during the game but they all came in the middle of the field and went for naught. Rose Bowl Big Money- * But Not for Oregon State As a result of its smashing 20-16 victory over Duke in the Rose Bowl game last year, Ore gon State received a net profit of $4,434. While that sum isn’t exactly “hay,” there’s a few facts to be taken into consideration first. The total net profit on the ball game was $179,780. A Little Here . . . A cool $81,367 was voted to the Pacific Coast conference and a like amount to Duke’s South eastern league. Oregon State ac tually received $25,000, but her expenses ran to some $20,576. Subtract this from the above amount and you get your actual figures. Other people figured in the “rake-off,” too. First and fore most was the Rose Bowl com mittee, usually composed of Pasadena, Calif., business men, last season being made up of Durham, North Carolina, mo guls. The war, of course, ne cessitated the shifting of the football “plum" from the west coast to points east. But that’s not all. There was still the employees who mowed the stadium lawn, who were engaged in other ef forts to make the Duke athletic amphitheater a better place in which to view a ball game for your four bucks and forty cents! As you can see, the Beavers got more glory from their vic tory than pure monetary compen sation. Who said football was going commercial, anyway ? All Campus Starts Soon The deadline for all-campus en tries is past and the schedule will be drawn up immediately and play started. The drawing will be posted atj^ the entrance to the men’s PE building with the date on which the matches must be played. It is important that all matches be played as scheduled, urged Paul Washke, intramural director, as weather conditions later in the term will make it difficult to complete the schedule. Few of the defending champs in the various sports are back this year and the competition in all sports should be wide open. There will be play in many sports: tennis, golf, ping pong, and handball. Doubles and sin gles both are planned for each sport. ft Longest biography in Who's Who is that of Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia uni versity—129 lines.
