Small Turnout Greets Hoyman in First Swimming Practice Army Grabs Top Talent By DOl'G DON AHUE With their ranks considerably riddled by the long- arm of Uncle Bam, the Oregon varsity and frosh swimmers broke the ice on the Webt'oot tank in the opening workout of the season under act ing coach Mike Hoyman. Familiar faces around the pool were lettermen Chuck Nelson, who warn both the free-style sprints and backstroke on last years’ championship team. Ox Wilson, a diver, Ralph Huestis, breast Stroke, Dick Smith, free-style dis tances and a former team cap tain, and Dick Allen, a free styl ist. ’42 Winners All of these boys were mem bers of the ’42 titlists who amassed more points in the Coast Conference northern division meet than all their opponents com bined, and who handed the San Francisco Olympic club their first •defeat in five years. On the other side of the ledg er is the '42 team's gilt to the armed forces. Jack Robinson, who is the northern division 2120 and 440-yard free style champ and record holder is serving in the radio division of the army. Johnny Mead, N.

In contrast to the Ducklings’ record of one defeat at the hands of the Rooks, the Babes toppled the Port Angeles Coast Guard 19-0 last week at Seattle. Bruce Good ■ Star of the Babes was flashy Gail Bruce, rangy left end, who scored two of the three frosh touchdowns on long passes thrown by Larry Hatch, left half. Also praised by Coach Sand berg were Fullback Bobo Moore, Guard John Harbottle, and Tackle Irvin Wehbe. Last night's scrimmage with the second string varsity proved the frosh are taking the coming ft niggle seriously and even though the Babes are 4-1 favor ites, odds on the game may change when halftime rolls around next Saturday at Seattle.

Sigma Nus vs. All-Stars 6 !l!l!il!lll!lllll!l By JOE MILLER A glory-gang of Sigma Xu footballers will line up against an All-Star aggregation on Thanks giving day, November 28, in the feature attraction of a headline group of events {scheduled for Turkey day. The classic battle will be played on the turf of Hay ward field and admission will be free. The All-Stars, now under proc ess of selection by the Emerald sports staff, will consist of a 20 man combination Greek-Inde pendent squad and will appear in tomorrow's Emerald. They will start an intensive training drive starting next wreek to meet the aggressive challenge of the White Starmen. Aerial Battle The game shapes up to be an all-out battle with the All-Stars facing the tremendous right arm of Rapid Richard Whitman, the strike-throwing Sigma Nu that explodes footballs to a couple of Eddies, Multy and Crane, while Jarrin’ Johnny Bubalo and Rog Dick guard him against any on coming linesmen. This combina tion has teamed up to complete over eighty per cent of their pass attempts this season. The All-Stars will have some pass-crazy gentlemen around themselves—probably in the persons of Phi Delt Hank Burns, PiKap Wally Still, Can ard's Art Murphy, and DU’s Jimmy Mann—and boys like skyscraping Fiji Earl Sand ness, Phi Delt Johnny Kitsch, Sherry Ross’ Dick Lawrence, and a host of other stars. The Sigma Nu are undoubtedly the greatest intramural seven that has ever competed on the !M Volleyball Starts Nov. 4 Intramural volleyball gets un der way .November 4, according to Chairman Bill Morris. Six games an afternoon is the proposed schedule which will pit fraternity and independent out fits together in a mutual combat for the coveted title. Morris stressed that all stu dents interested in officiating the games should contact him at once, as there is a shortage of referees at present. The games will be played in activities courts 40 and 43. Joltin’ Jurkovich Jolts Ducks; Roblin Terrific in 20 to 7 Loss By FRED TREADGOLD It Joltin’ Jim Jurkovich, fragile California halfback, had picked last Saturday to reside in the hos pital with one of his many in juries, things might have been a lot different. He didn't, though. So Oregon lost 20 to 7 in the Berkeley Memorial coliseum. For it was this galloping, cape cutting Golden Bear flash, safely encased in a steel-reinforced hel met and with a brace on a brittle knee, who single-handedly shoved the drowning Oregons under for the third time. When Jurk was in. the Bear machine moved downfield ruth lessly. with ease. When Jurk was on the sidelines. Stub Allison's gang was about as colorful and formidable as a jellyfish. Roblin Shows “Terrible Tommy” Roblin, Ore gon's great gamester, with a su perhuman effort, almost spurred the Ducks on to victory and an upset. After Bill Davis was car ried, battered, from the field at the end of the first half, Roblin was shifted to fullback, where he took it upon himself to put the Webfoots back into the run ning-. The score then leaned Califor nia-ward, 13 to 0, and it looked as if the Ducks would be buried beneath a tremendous touch down flurry. Then “Terrible Tom my” started to function. Fifteen plays later Roblin (with Rey nolds spelling him twice) powered with pure brute strength 66 yards to the lone Duck tally. On three occasions time was called while the rugged Kohlin rested a battered, bruised leg, but even this failed to daunt the intrepid Duck senior. He wasn’t receiving any more blocking than his mates had gotten, was just bulling through on sheer leg- drive alone. With the Oregon score, the Duck offense collapsed. A high Webfoot pass from center was nailed by Cal on the 15. After one Oregon repulse, the Golden Bears racked up another touch down when Jurkovich leaped over the one. Porto Potent Proving a brilliant running mate to the elusive, power-laden Jurkovich, was Frank Porto, an extremely hard one to pin on skirts through the line. The expected passing threat of Southpaw Gene Pickett, Cal right half, failed to materialize. Pick ett’s aim and arm weren’t co ordinated, time after time the ball sailing yards over the re ceiver’s head. Oregon defenders were gallant in their stand, but lack of fresh reserves to spell the battle-weary campus. Unstoppable in all their games, except when they bogged down in the mud against the Phi Belts and barely won 2 to 0, the Snakemen have been more than a point-a-minute team, rolling over the Chi Psis 68 to 0, Alpha hall 53 to 0, the Phi Psis 88 to 0, the Fijis 33 to 6, and bashing the Betas in the finals 34 to 0. Sigma Nus Tops The combined All-Star outfit will be faced with the problem of coordinating an attack to meet the double-barrelled attack of the Nus in the short time they h-j^ to practice. The two squads should rank even-Stephen with the edge, if any, going to the Sigma Nus because of their longer experience working to gether. As yet a coach has not been named to coach the All-Stars, but one will be chosen in the near future. BOB KENNEDY . . . . . . WSC fullback still holds the scoring- lead. Kennedy Stii? Tops Scorers Bob Kennedy took things easy over the weekend but still re tained the lead in the scoring race with his 44 points. Kenny Snelling moved into a tie with Buck Fawcett for sec ond. place with 30 points, on the strength of a touchdown against Stanford. Jim Jurkovich made himself known by 13 points against Ore gon to take over fourth place with 25 points. Ttl G Td Pat P: Kennedy, WSC . Fawcell, Stanford. *Snelling, UCLA Jurkovich, Cal .
