■'Mllllli!:
Trojans Will Gun
or Tommy Roblisi
By BILL STRATTON
Jubilant after upsetting the bowl bound Bruins last week,
John Warren and his Ducks have traveled south to take on
the USC Trojans in a conference battle in the Coliseum at
Los Angeles this afternoon,
Although the Webfoots put on a sparkling performance
last week, they have been stricken with injuries since that
time, and will be underdogs in
the Trojan meet, 10 to 8.
Shephard’s Loss Critical
The probable loss of Jim Shep
hard, although he made the trip,
is possibly the most critical. He
has improved possibly more than
any man on the squad, and his
understudies, Pete Torchia and
t )ick Brown are inexperienced.
“Shep" may get to play part of
the game, however, if his injured
leg doesn't start acting up 021
him.
Also 011 the injured list are
Itnth first string guards, Scrappy
rthea and Val Cuhvell. Their loss
is not quite so critical, especially
in the case of Cuhvell. Henry
(Steers will see action for Khea.
rind is not too experienced, hut
• loh “Ked Dog” Da\is will be in
for Cuhvell if the latter's ankle
♦darts bothering him, and he has
seen plenty of action already this
> ear.

.... Verry
.... Davis

. . Taylor
McCardle
... Musick
He proved himself one of the
most promising linemen in the
Washington game, and will capa
bly replace Culwell if he has to.
Rhea has been one of the main
defensive and offensive threats
of the Duck squad so far this
year, and will be missed tremen
dously if he is not able to play.
.Not many men have made yard
age over him, and he has kicked
nine for nine extra points this
year.
Davis Also Sick
Also on the sick list, is soph
omore star, Bill Davis. An injury
lie encountered in the Cal game,
acted up on him at the first of
the week, and he made the trip
ns an assistant trainer. He will
replace Roblin only if Tom is
mangled so that he cannot move.
Good news came to the Duck
ramp late this week when Tom
Ovmaii returned to the squad as
bloeking hack, and l{o> Dyer
recovered from an attack of flu.
Osman lias been out all season
with an injured leg, and will at
tempt to make up for lost time
against the Trojans. Dyer is the
“brains” of the outfit, and his
return to the squad makes things
look brighter.
Mickey .Met anile will form
the spearhead of the Trojan at
taek, along with the plunging
,1'ob Musick. Both are outstand
ing hacks on the coast, and can
tie expected to cause the Ducks
plenty Of trouble.
The Duck offensive will be in
charge of driving Tom Roblin and
Bobby Reynolds. Tom has been
tabbed Tommy “no line can stop
me" Roblin since the Cal game,
and Duck fans sincerely hope he
will keep up his pace.
Reynolds Will Pass
Reynolds will do the passing if
there is a dry field. His passes
to Nowling or Shephard are dead
ly, and will cause the Trojans
trouble no end if weather condi
tions permit.

Frosh Gridders Battle
Camp White 'll* Today
Hayward field will Ij ■ the
scene of some gridiron action to
day. Yeah, you’re right! The var
sity is down south playing South
ern California in Cos Angeles.
However, the Oregon freshmen
have a scheduled game with the
Engineers from Camp White in
Medford.
Hostilities commence at 2 p.m.
and the general public is invited
HIGH FLYER
YAI, CTLAVELL . . .
. . , \\ ill ho flying; high down south today, trying to stop those Tro
jans from gaining.
to attend the game, free of
charge.
Since Anse Cornell, regular
frosh coach, is in the South with
the varsity, injured Dick Ash
com, varsity tackle who did not
make the Coliseum trip, is han
dling the duties of head coach.
Practice Game
Ashcom indicated that today’s
game is/ merely a practice con
test, to tune the squad up for its
return game with the Oregon
State Rooks.
The Engineers are purported
to be the best of three football
teams at Camp White. They are
coached by a former Colgate
gridd'er and have several ex-col
legiate stars on their roster, in
cluding a halfback of good re
pute from Johns Hopkins univer
sity.
Ashcom was not sure of his
exact starting line-up but tem
porarily indicated that the foi
lowing men would start for the
frosh: Barnewalt, Abelson, ends;
Woodlin, Mili'er, tackles; Murphy,
Holloway, guards; Olsen, center;
Porter, ..quarterback; ..Holcomb,
left halfback; Bodner, right half
back and Wheeler, fullback. U
Ashcom stated that he would
probably institute frequent
changes in the line-up and that
the starting backfield was not at
all certain.
If he plays, Benny Holcomb
will lead the freshmen’s offen
sive attack from his left half
back post. Pete Miller moved
back into a starting berth al
though he played only a limited
time against the Washington
Babes. He is spelling the injured
Terry.
This will mark the first time
Oregon students have had a
chance to see the 1942 freshmen
in action on their own stamping
grounds.
Varsity Cagers Begin
Rounding Into Shape
By DOUG DONAHUE
They still have a long -way t?
.ravel, but the varsity basketnau
of Hobby Hobson, is beginning
to resemble an Oregon basket
ball team.
The boys have been at practice
for three weeks now, and have
been scrimmaging for the past
week. In recent workouts, Coach
Hobson seems to have been sac
rificing some of that vaunted
\t ebfoot height for speed and
agility, notably in the shoving of
Warren Taylor into the center
slot, moving Captain Don Kirsch
into Warren’s old forward spot,
vand putting- Jim Crowell, a for
mer second stringer into Kirsch’s
vacated guard position.
Six foot-eight inch Wally Bor
revick has temporarily been
dropped to the second string, but
players of Wally's caliber don’t
come along every day, and any
college in the country would have
plenty of trouble keeping him off
its first team, so when the open
ing tip-off rolls around, Wall/,
may be right in there jumping.
Filling out the present “first
string are Bob Wren at for
ward, and Bob Newland at guard.
