Frosh Seconds Get Scrimmage
Chance Against Varsity Subs
By SISIDESIN'GEK
While Hu1 boys who saw action
Friday night against the Kooks
jested, Anse Cornell put his sec
ond-string frosh through a stiff
practice £jame with the varsity
reserves last night on the lower
practice field. Although the frosh
battled hard, their lack of unity
was against them and the varsity
pushed three touchdowns through
the yearlings line and over their
heads via Erickson’s passesd.
Wheeler Shows Possibilities
From the frosh ranks rose a new
star when versatile Vein Wheeler
reported for scrimmage for the
first time this year. Wheeler has
been hampered by a infected foot
all this season and has been unable
to hit his stride so far.
lie should he a great asset to
Cornell’s backfield which so far
lias only one real scoring threat
in Benny Holcomb. Possibilities
are fair that Wheeler may lie
made Into a fullback which the
Ducklings could use very nicely.
There was nothing sensational
about yesterday's scrimmage, ex
cept tlie determination the frosh
Showed in attempting to stop the
varsity reserves from crossing the
goal line too many times. Behind
nice interference and good running
Cote, Erickson, and Garrison each
scored a touchdown on the hapless
freshmen. The freshmen had an es
pecially bad time stopping the
wide end sweeps made by the var
sity backs.
In the frosh line, Greg James
and Chuck Yanattu showed pos
sibilities of breaking into the
starting lineup if they continue
their defensive drve whch put
them time after time in'the var

Hoopers Called
With the declaration that “all
positions are wide open and that
every man will get an equal
chance,” Head Basketball Coach
Hobson called for varsity candi
dates to be in uniform for Sl;^? first
practice of the year today at 4
o’clock in McArthur court.
A new set-up has been proposed.
Hobson said, which necessitates a
large squad turnout. This plan pro
vides for an informal weekly
scrimmage later in the season
which will be open to the public.
“This has a two-fold purpose,”
Hobson declared. “Not only will
the public get to see the whole
squad in action, but it will ac
custom tlie players lo playing
before a crowd.”
Hobby was hopeful to see a
large number of new candidates
who, regardless of past experi
ence, will be given equal chances
to grab off starting positions.
A promising schedule is set
for the Duck hoopers, including
a 12-game pre-season slate, be
sides,the regular northern divi
sion series. No eastern trip has
been hooked, but for the win
ners of the league championship,
a trip east for the national play
offs will lie forthcoming.
Returning from last year’s quin
tet are Don Kirsch, Warren Tay
lor, Bob Wren, Bob Newland,
Rolpn Fuhrman, and from the 1940
squad, lanky Wally Borrevik. Up
from frosh ranks are such promis
ing hoopsters as Roy Seeborg, A1
Popick, Sammy Crowell, and Jack
Hannum.
Reynolds, Davis Spark
28-0 Landslide Win
By BILL STRATTON
Tommy Roblin’s terrific blocking in the quarterback posi
tion, the offensive punch of the sophomore-studded backfield,
the “stone wall” Oregon line, and the alert pass defense
the Duck secondary were responsible for Oregon’s 28 to 0
victory over Francis X. Schmidt’s Idaho Vanvdals on Hay
ward field Saturday.
One injury resulted from the Vandal fray. Bill Davis is the
victim of a shoulder injury, but
hopes are high that he will he
ready for Cal Saturday. “Honest
Jawn” said yesterday that if Da
vis isn’t ready for the Bears,
there’s no use going south.
Although the Ducks displayed
little power in the first half, they
came back in the second to com
pletely overpower the razzle daz
zle Vandals with their impressive
aerial and running attack.
Roblin Blocked
Sophomores Bobby Reynolds
Bill Davis packed the pigskin for
most of Oregon’s yardage from
scrimmage, but the impressive
blocking of converted Tommy
Roblin is not to be slighted. Da
vis and Raynolds were provided
holes big enough to drive a truck
through, and although the big
Oregon line was continually
knocking down the Idaho defense,
“Rainbow” was largely responsi
ble.
Roblin never carried the ball,
except for one pass play, but
chances are the Webfoot of
fensive wouldn’t have clicked
the way it did unless he had
been knocking down so many
victory-hungry Vandals.
Roblin wasn’t the only Duck
that was doing himself proud,
however. The whole squad was
working like a Swiss watch—
during the second half.
The running, punting, and
passing of Bobby Reynolds was
his best of this season. He tossed
a large majority of Oregon’s
passes, averaged 6.3 yards for 13
times carrying the ball, and av
eraged 38 yards on his punts.
Davis Averages 4.5
Bill Davis was the other out
standing offensive Duck back. He
smashed the Vandal line 14 times
for an average of 4.5 yards per
play. He also made one of Ore
gon’s touchdowns, crashing
through the center of the Idaho
line to score standing up from the
eight-yard line.
In the line, Russ Nowling
In the line, Russ Nowling
snagged two passes that were
responsible for scores. Rhea

Vandals ’Francis Schmidt Satisfied
With Team s Showing; Makes Protest
Francis X. Schmidt, grey*
thatched mentor of tire Idaho
Vandals, was satisfied with his
team's showing Saturday al
though they were victims of a
2S-0 lacing at the hands of our
beloved varsity Webfoots.
“I thought the officiating could
have been a little more efficient
at times," commented the veter
an coach. "I've entered a formal
protest to Pacific Coast confer
ence authorities regarding Ore
gon's line shift, which looked il
legal to me.”
Schmidt indicated that the
Duck forward wall was rocking
to the left and right, attempting
to draw the Idaho linemen off
side.
Cal Used Koeker
The University of California a
few years back used a “rocker
shift,” in which the members of

the Bear forward wall rocked
back and forth on their heels, a
movement motivated to cause op

The “rocker shift” was de
clared illegal by the Pacific
Coast conference, and has not
since been put into practice.
Schmidt, a champion of bow
ties for football coaches, com
plimented the running and

Oregon’s dusky left halfback.

Although the Vandals were
completely swamped in the sec
ond half, they really had the
Ducks guessing in the first.
Coach Warren explained that it
was the first time the Ducks
had played against a seven-man
line, and nine different offenses.
Putting the two together, it made
a tough proposition before thi
Oregons got wise. *
Offense Too Much
Idaho’s offense—as well as
their defense—is screwy and
