Donut Volleyball Hits Stride; Theta Chi 'A’s Show Power Intramural volleyball rolled in to high gear today on the PE ae tieity courts with the “A” ag gregations of the Theta Chis, vsAEs, Kappa Sjgs, ATOs, /eta hall, and Betas posting wins. In the top game of the day the Theta Chis showed power to burn in thumping the bewildered Phi Psis 15 to 1, 15 to C. The Phi Psis held their own in the opening minutes of both games but faded badly before the blistering spike shots laid down by the winners. Chunky Bunny Potts led the Theta Chi offense. SAEs Win The Phi Sigs were a bit too .slow in starting against the SAE butfit and though they got into the swing of the thing in the last game it was too late and the EAEs took the decision, 15 to 3, 55 to 13.

With Schultz's mate hacking him they overcame a Phi Sig lead, ran out four straight points, and grabbed the decision. Lanky Don Sanders turned in •i whale of a game for a plucky Kirkwood team but the Zetas had alittle too much power as they eked out a 15 to 12, 15 to 9 win over the Co-op. But Tall Sanders, six foot three inches in his stocking feet, turned in a beautiful game at the net for the losers but his block shots <md spikes weren't enough to turn the tide.

Web foots Plot Damper for 'Q-T'; Home Field Hex' Hounds Invaders i-oacn Jo.m warren and his " ebfoot srnl machine continued workouts yesterday in prepara tion for UCLA who the Ducks meet in Oregon’s gain homecom ing on Hayward field at 2:00 Sat urday. “Honest Jawn” has been send ing his forces through special practices this week to check Babe Horrell’s “QT“ formation, with emphasis on Bob Waterfield, triple threat quarterback. Waterfield at Quarter After one year of experience at calling signals for the Hor rell “QT,“ Waterfield has led the Bruins in their march toward the Rose Bowl. Waterfield is cue of the top ranking backs on the Pa cific coast, not only for his sig nal calling ability, but for his value as a passer and punter. Waterfield flipped 130 passes last season, completed 4!), 05 were incomplete, and 15 were intercepted. Tiie Uclans gained 828 yards in the 1941 season from his passes. He punted 49 times, for a total of 1857 yards, and had an aver age of 37.89 yards per punt dur HUSKIES BEAT THE BEAVERS . . . . . . in tin- rain at Seattle and I.eland Gustafson's ten yard gain goes for nil. The Huskies plodded • I*rout;h the rain and mud to bury the Orangeme i under a two-touchdown setback, 13 to 0. ing the ’41 season. He carried the ball only 19 times last year. The Questions Although the Bruins have met no stumbling blocks in the coast conference this season, can they break the jinx that has held since 1928 ? They ha've never beaten the Ducks on Hayward field, and the question is—will the Ore gons come from under the heap to dump the Uelans for their homecoming crowd ? They’ve done it before, can they do it again ? As a result of the Cal trounc ing' last Saturday and their statistical standing, the Ducks find themselves definite under dogs. The backs have been shifted, and reserve strength is sadly lacking in the backfield. Warren may puli a shananigan on Waterfield and company, but it will have to be a good one to upset the bowl-bound Bruins.

Army OK’s Football College sports received a wel come “go ahead” yesterday when army officials, represented by Colonel Theodore Bank, head of the army physical fitness pro gram, stated in a meeting at Philadelphia that the army want ed college football to continue. “There is nc reason why foot ball, for instance, should' not con tinue unless transportation dif ficulties make that impossible." It was heart warming news for football fans who thought the war was going to put an end to their favorite sport. Not on Coast The picture cn the coast isn't bright, however, even with the heartening news from the army. Transportation facilities on the coast have been severely cut by the shortage of trans portation, brought cn by gas rationing, rubber shortages, and troop movement. Many of the clubs on the coast have felt the cut. Oregon has made both trips to Portland in private cars borrowed for the occasion. Says Schmidt Francis Schmidt, coach of the colorful Idaho Vandals said af ter the game with Oregon that transportation has hit his club very hard. “We’re never sure up to the time we leave home if we’ll have accommodations enough* for the squad.” The Vandals had to wait in Eugene a full day after playing Dregon to obtain accommoda .ions back to Moscow. "The present shortage will make our participation in the mast conference impossible,” the ioleful Vandal coach said. WSC Hit Too Idaho and Oregon haven’t been :he only teams hit in the North vest.
