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.

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.

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.

fourth quarter hurl from Mann to
Grabb after a drive had put them
in position.

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

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

The third Wlatrak to play foot

Behind the beautiful pullet
passing of Canard club’s Art
Murphy, the clubbers went to a
13-6 victory over Delta Tat Del
ta Tuesday.
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

its winning way when it snatched
a, last minute 7-0 decision from

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
