Will the drought end Saturday? Oregon’s parched, but persistent gridders have been searching and thirsting in the wilderness for four long, hot, dusty weeks, now, searching for a welcome oasis where they can quench their unappeas able thirst with a clear, cool, refreshing draught from the well of victory. Such a drink would instill new life into the fatigued, aching bodies of the Oregon warriors. They would arise, re ^kitalized. shake the desert dust from their bodies, and go forth into the fray as new men. Can Warrenmen Hoist Victory Flag? What we’re trying to say here is, “Will our Duck be able to pin the Vandal Saturday and have his hand raised in triumph for the first time this year?” It’s been an unkind road to travel on so far this season for our boys. First the narrow scjueeze-out by the Naval Cadets. Then the Washington State “victory” by a solitary touch down, which in itself was disputed with vehemence. Finally, the big traditional Husky-Duck scrap. Oregon falters after a tremendous fired-up start, to drop number three in succession. John’s boys are ’way overdue. The breaks haven’t been falling Oregon’s way. The Ducks have been reaching out, trying to grab off a few, but that fickle fem, Lady Luck, has had the Indian sign on the Green and Gold outfit. Opinion Foresees Oregon Win *We don't mean to put John or his gang on the spot by etting forth this prediction, but the general consensus of campus railbirds leans markedly in Oregon's direction for Webfoot success against the Vandal this weekend. Further supporting this little statement we line up the following as arguments: (1) Two weeks in which to fashion plans for coping with Idaho. This time also served as an important healing agent for the Webfoot’s maimed and mangled. (2) Idaho, definitely is in a battered and unnerved state after the inhuman 54 to 7 scalping by a savage, war-pathing Stanford Indian. (3) The Oregon club should be fired up to make good in its first home showing of the campaign and desire for victory should be uppermost in the players' minds. Combination Surefire Just one of these points is enough to turn a victory into the Webfoot channel, but the combination is untouchable dynamite ! • However, lest we get too enthusiastic over this “tri umph” let us not forget that games aren’t won on paper. Idaho undoubtedly has had its mistakes pointed out with bald realism in these lop-sided shellackings it has taken. Rec ognized errors can be corrected. Besides that they have a passer, who isn't just an ordi nary thrower. Howard Manson is this dead-eye’s monicker. Even when he stands out in the rain, gets his su*t soaked thoroughly, and steps on the scales, he can just barely get the Toledos to nick the 170-pound mark. But he can throw—■ and how! Frosh-Rooks Frolic Oregon and Oregon State freshman juggernauts swing into action on the grid front Friday in Corvallis, presenting a preview of future varsity talent, draft willing. Although outnumbered insofar as squad man-power goes, Oregon fol lowers bring out the fact that they still “only allow eleven men on the field at once.” Benny Holcomb, elusive and wriggling halfback from ¥' The Dalles, is Anse Cornell’s number one hope to keep the Duckling offensive machine running on all six cyl inders. This dashing flash has been consistently good for sizable gains against the varsity and frosh seconds in scrimmage. Also in the yearling backfield Cornell has the leading prep scorer in the state last year, Yern Wheeler. The Newport galloper had been relegated to the bench by a foot hurt, but now is rported healed and set for service. Touch Football < CVMednesday, Oct. 21) 4:00—Field 1—Sigma Nu vs. Phi Kappa Psi.

Pi Kap, Canard\ Phi Delt DU Clubs Gainl-M Wins By DAN GASSNER Although Phi Sigma Kappa broke the scoring column for the first time this year, they were unable to put down a stronger l*i Kappa Alpha team which ran over them by a score of 18 to 2. The Phi Sigs scored first on a safety when Pi Kap Wally Still intercepted a pass behind his own goal line in the first quarter but was unable to run it out. The Pi Kaps scored all their touchdowns in the second half, the first one coming on a 15 yard pass from Moore to Still, who ran 10 yards for the score. A 20-yard run in the third pe riod by Still netted the winners their second touchdown while their last score came in the fourth quarter on a pass from Still to Fleck after a blocked kick.

Kramer DU 26, Kirkwood 0 Behind the stellar passing of Right Halfback Mann, Delta Up silon sailed through the air to pound out a 26 to 0 victory over Kirkwood co-op. Mann, who heaved the oval for all four scores, started his touch down hurls on the first play of the game when he threw a 20 yard pass to Dilling, who ran the 60 remaining yards to a touch down. Mann threw to Wren for the extra point. After a drive down the field had put them in scoring posi tion, Mann tossed a 15-<yard pass to Wren in the end ....one in the second quarter for the DU’s next six points. Carls guard kicked the extra point. The DUs tallied again in the third quarter on a pass from Mann to Wren after Foster had paved the way for the touchdown by blocking a Kirkwood kick. The last touchdown came on a fourth quarter hurl from Mann to Grabb after a drive had put them in position. The lineups: Delta Upsilon Kirkwood Lurinic .C. Davies Carlsguard .LE. Stevens Dilling .RE.

Hilyard Records Close V-Ball Win Hilyard house subdued Sigma Kappa, 47 to 36, Tuesday, in coed intramurals, after the losers had come within one point of tying with four minutes remaining in the game. The other games saw Kappa Kappa Gamma garner its second victory of the year by defeating the Gamma Phis, 36 to 15, while the Thetas broke into the win col umn with a 49 to 19 win over the Alpha Phis. Mildred Thomas and Jo Reg inato led the Hilyard eight. Sig ma Kappa’s Pat Howard made impossible plays and was support ed by Pat Carson. Phyllis Root and Jean Mor rison, both outstanding in last year’s tournament, led the Theta attack against the Phis. Pi Phi defaulted to Alpha Gam ma Delta in the other contest. Peaches to Teachers Miss Dorothy Sherman and Mr. Hugh M. Shafer, supervisors at University high school, were each pleasantly surprised Friday to receive a crate of peaches from a former student, Pvt. War ren G. Applewhite, who is now training in Texas. imiiiwmiHiiiitBii'immiHi'iiiHinmimiHiHimiiiHiiiiw'u (Frankie Albert Steals Thunder 1 (In 'Spirit of Stanford’ Movie | By FRED BECKWITH Football dope gathered on the run: Hal Johnson, University of San Francisco halfback, did some of the running credited to Frankie Albert in the latter’s starring movie vehicle, “Spirit of Stan ford.’’ George Dyson, star tackle for Washington State, used to be a 50-yard passer while in high school, although he played tackle then. He was brought out of the line on the famous old tackle back play. Noah Curti, one of the leading offensive guns in last year’s UCLA attack, was declared in eligible for Pacific Coast con ference competition this year by Head Commissioner Ed Atherton. Undaunted, Curti continued his footballing in a different capac ity. He is now assistant backfield coach for the Bruins. A little over one hundred stu dents attend St. Marys college. About 38 of them are out for football. The Gaels usually have a pretty good i band, too. That doesn’t leave ’em much for a rooting section, does it ? The third Wlatrak to play foot ball in the state of Washington during the past ten years is com pleting his senior year of eligibil ity currently at the Husky cam pus in Seattle. The first Wiatrak, John by name, played for Wash ington State about eight years ago, and Wiatrak number 2 played for Washington U.

The Deits started the scoring when they took the ball on the kickoff, marching down the field to the 10-yard line. Here Ken Stanley shot a pass to Stan Rob inson for six points. The try for the extra point was not good. Canard club, not to be outdone, also took the ball on the kick off and they, too, scored without losing possession of it. With the pigskin on the 20-yard marker, Murphy threw to Backstrom, who: galloped across the goal line to tie the score. Murphy then kicked the extra point. Murphy engendered another touchdown march which culmin ated in a score when he passed to Miller for a touchdown. The Deits were threatening as the whistle blew ending the ball game: Lineups: Deits Canard Club Eckleman. C., Gruber Shelton.RE. Wiedon, Robinson.. LE. Miller Hoyt.Q. Kuhl Davis. F. Braun Larson.RH.

Sigma Chi 0, Phi Deits 7 Phi Delta Theta continued on its winning way when it snatched a, last minute 7-0 decision from Sigma Chi in an exciting touch football game Tuesday. The game was scoreless until the last twenty seconds of play. Here Sigma Chi attempted to punt deep in their own territory. Dan Kreiger crashed through the line to block the kick, the ball rolling into the end zone and out of bounds for a touchdown. Don Kirsch kicked the extra point.
