Waterfield, Solari Pace
Horrell’s Feared ‘Q-T’
Waterfield,
1 Bruin
Halfback
The spark that really makes the |
Q-T glow is this man Bob Waterfield.
husky gent of 185 pounds, he directs the" I
intricate plays that sprout from Babe |
Horrell’s masterpiere, the cousin of ;
the T. j
Waterfield is slated to start at the |
quarterback spot and spectators will see |
his number 7 in the middle of most Clan
plays.
(Continued Jrom page one)
Although thorn is only one sophomore in the starting Oregon
lineup, and the rest of the squad is far from green, UCLA is graced
with an almost completely veteran team.
The smooth quarterbacking of Bob Waterfield and the power
and running ability of A1 Solari, have been combined with a veteran
line to form a formidable attack.
Weak at Right
The only vacant spot in the
TTCLA lineup at the start of the
season, was right halfback. This
position has been filled by Ev
Kiddle who was a sub for Water
field last year in the quarterback
post, and he didn't see much ac
tion. He has gone over great guns
this year in his new position, and
completes the makings of a seem
ingly unstoppable outfit.
All hough the Oregon line
outweighs the UCLA forward
wall, they will have a lough
time getting through it—Hor
rell has guaranteed that—and
then they will be faced with
the problem of stopping Water
field and Solar! in particular.
Waterfield has proven one of
the outstanding hacks on the
coast, and Horrell considers So
lari one of his best prospects,
even if he only tilts the scales at
177 pounds.
Waterfield Great
Waterfield’s record of last sea
son gives the Webfoots some
thing to watch out for. Bob
passed 130 times last season, com
pleted -10, 65 were incompleted,
lie had 15 intercepted, and they
totaled 828 yards for the Bruins
from Westwood.
He punted 40 limes for a to
tal of 1857 yards, and aver
aged 37.8!) yards per punt. His
punting has been even better
this season.
True, that is something for the
■Webfoots to watch out for, but
passing and punting of Bobby
Reynolds has not been anything
... . I.

below average this year. It will
possibly be an interesting' duel
between the two hurlers if there
is a dry field.
Not only will Oregon’s passing
attack cause the Bruins a bit
of trouble, but the recent shift
ing of Roblin from quarter to full
back to replace the three full
backs on the shelf, is guaranteed
to cause UCLA trouble to no end.
“Terrible Tommy”
“Terrible Tom" proved his ver
satility in the Cal game last week
when he took over the fullback
spot and drove 54 yards for a
touchdown.
This i,s not the first time
this season that Tommy has
been shifted. He started at left
half, was shifted to quarter
and is now at full.
He is just as versatile on de
fense, too. One moment you will
see him backing up the line, and
it is no surprise to see him shift
back to snag punts.
“Hall Toter”
Tom will probably be depend
ed on for a good amount of Ore
gon’s ball toting, and lie will have
the big Oregon line to help him
out.
Oregon’s line is used to the
mud, and might readily modify
their nicknames to “Mud-hens.”
That is Oregon’s best chance
for a victory over the bowl
bound Bruins. The Duck for
ward wall outweighs the
l clan line, arid their being used
io a sloppy field while their
opponents are used to operat
ing their “QT” on a dry field.

Blue Bruin and his boys blew in
to the heart of Duckville early
Yesterday and a sadder looking

Gawd, doesn’t the sun ever shine
up here?” were his first words
littered through interpreter and
head keeper Mr. Babe Horrell.
Taken out to the scene of Sat

lizer of Pacific coast football
wanted to know where the fans
sat.
Tiie Stadium?
“Why in the stands, sir, of
course," said one lanky Oregon
ian from the wilds of the eastern
part of the state. After a half
hour of bickering Blue and the
boys were convinced that those
box-like things of 1776 vintage
were the stands and not just a
camouflage for the Jap air force.
Taken down onto what the
home folks called the green
turf Mr. Blue turned red. There

on the fifty-yard line.
After the smelling salts were
passed around to the boys from
sunny California and Blue Bruin
was rescued from a five foot
man hole he said, “Where is the
drainage system ? Where is the
tarpaulin to keep the field dry?"
New Swimming Tank
The chief of “Why students
should come to Oregon Bureau”
stammered incoherently but
couldn’t get a sensible word out.
The grounds keeper who never saw
the turf because of the yearly
rivers floating around through
and under it slowly slipped into
the background.
Silence reigned supreme and

his breast stroke for a quick
swim through the icy waters of
