Webfoot Mermen Dominate
All-Coast Tank Aggregation
By DOUG DONAHUE
It may have been a long time sinee the yellow and green of
Oregon has flown at the top of the coast football standings, but when
it comes to swimming the story is slightly altered.
For instance, in tlie 1942 swimming guide was listed the 1942
i-tl! Northern Division tank team. Out of twelve possible placements,
take a guess at the number of Oregon men on the squad. Exactly
possible, from Oregon earned the
honors. Jack Robinson led his
teammates in not only taking the
220 and 440 yard free style spots,
tout also in breaking' all distance
records on the coast by paddling'
' the 440 in exactly 5 minutes and
G seconds.
Took Everything
The 300 yard medley relay
went unanimously to Oregon
tankmen, with Chuck Weitzel,
Ralph Huestis, and Chuck Nelson
proving far superior to any op
ponents in sight. Webfoot John
ny Mead nabbed the 60 yard
nprint spot, while Ox Wilson took
nil honors in the diving'.
Chuck Nelson took the back
stroke title, while the Huestis
boys, Gerry and Ralph teamed
up to make it almost a unani
mous Duck team by respec
tively taking the 100 yard free
style and 200 yard breast
Stroke crow ns.
Somehow a couple of boys from
Washington, Barr and Denning,
managed to sneak by the judges
end break the Oregon monopoly
by placing on the 400 yard relay
team. Johnny Mead and Gerry
Huestis “saved’' Oregon’s face by
taking the other spots on the re
lay team.
A Record
There they are. Add 'em up.
Oregon, represented by seven
men, took ten out of a possible
twelve spots. Records show that
.no other team in any spoil in the
history of the Pacific Coast Con
ference has ever so thoroughly
dominated the all-star selections.
Since the above mentioned
Swimming Guide failed to pick
a team for (lie entire confer
ence, Jack Dallas, former All
American Webfoot tanker, and
Mr. Mike Hoyinan, currently
meting as eoaeli for the mer
men, took il upon themselves
to select an All-Pacific Coast
conference team. “Their opin
ions are naturally biased,” you
say. No, the selections are
based on actual times register
ed in competition.
Of a total of 21 possible points,
Oregon registered 9, USC 6,
Stanford 3, and UCLA 3. Again
paced by Jack Robinson, who
nabbed firsts in both of his fa
\ mite races, the 440 and 220. our
Frosh Thump
Army, 19-0
By FRED BECWITH
After sloshing around on a
mud-caked turf for four periods,
the University of Oregon fresh
man football team was rewarded
for its efforts with a 19-0 triumph
over the Camp White Engineers
of Medford last Saturday.
The game, played at Hayward
field, was attended by only a
handfull of students, most of
whom were by radio sets listen
ing- to the varsity tangle with the
use Trojans.
Ashcom Coaches
The victory was registered by
the frosh under the tutelage of
acting coach Dick Ashcom, who
spelled Anse Cornell, when the
latter went south in advance of
the varsity caravan, to drum up
publicity for the Oregon-USC
ruckus.
Stocky Benny Holcomb again
led the Duckling attack from
his left halfback post. Before
five minutes had elapsed in the
hall game, Boomin' Benny was
off to the races.
Spotting a big hole off tackle,
Holcomb darted forth like a bul
let from a gun. Before you could

Scoring Lead
Bob Kennedy had little to wor
ry about over the weekend con
cerning his scoring lead. While
the bruising Cougar full shoved
only one score over on the Van
days he hoisted his total to 69
points.
Jim Jurkovich, of California,
jumped up in the standings with
his total of 39 points, to take
over second place. Buck Fawcett,
Stanford fullback, holds down
third spot with 36 points.

This is not the first time the
Oregons have boon waxed by the
Trojans, however. The two
squads have mot 12 times since
1015, and Oregon has only re
folded two victories and tied one.
Oregon won 35 to 0 in 1915 and
20 to 0 last year. The tie was in
1939.
Jinv Business
Maybe there is something to
this jinx business. UCLA tum
bled from the top of the ladder
at the hands of the lowly Ducks,
being; cursed with a jinx, and the
Oregons were jinxed when they
met the Trojans and look what
happened.
Jinx, curses or what have
you. Warren made no excuses
for the trouncing'. About all he
is interested in now, is prim
ing for the Beavers at Corval
lis Saturday in the “civil war.”
About the only good news that
comes from the weary Webfoots,
is the fact that there were no
casualties encountered and that
Tommy Roblin and Russ Nowling
still have a good chance to gain
all-coast honors.
Line Hit Hard
Although the Webfoots were
stricken with injuries before the
Trojan tilt, and four first string
linemen were useless, there are
no further casualties and the
Ducks are expected to be in good
shape for the Beavers come Sat
urday.
Warren also announced that
Koblin and Xowling turned in
sparkling performances for the
\\ ebfoots, d(i .pito the score
and their chances for all-coast
honors shouldn’t he marred.
Now ling snagged some nice
passes and stood out defensively.
Koblin carried the ball 15 times
fora total gain of 3S yards, form
ing the spearhead of the Oregon
attack, what there was of it.

. Coed Playoff on Tap [
By MARY ALDERSON
The championship of girls’ in
tramural volleybail for 1942 is at
stake this afternoon as the semi
final victors, Susan Campbell and
Highland house match wares at
5.
Highland', an underdog at the
first of the season, has defeated
such contenders as Hendricks
hall, last year’s champions and
Kappa Alpha Theta’s outstand
ing squad. They have an extreme
ly well-balanced team that spe
cialized in team play.
Doris Craig
Doris Craig, tall center for
ward, is the spearhead of their
offensive attack. She is one of
the top spikers on the campus
and has been given brilliant sup
port by her team mates, especial
ly the center line combination of
Gertrude Kay and Audrey Holli
day.
Captain Gertrude Kay has
chosen to play one period of ro
tation and one non-rotation half
in previous games and predic
tions are to the effect that this
game will be played on that
basis.
Susan Campbell is the surprise
outfit of the year. Confronted
with a lack of material, they
were not expected to go far. But
by defeating Orides in the upset
of the season in the semi-finals,
Susies convinced observers that
they had' a lot of power.
Good Defensively h
The teamwork cf Susie is good
and was a big factor in the Ori
des upset. The Susie eight showed
a lot of skill in recovering
smasher and may be able to stop
Highland’s Craig. Dorothy Gus
tafson plays a very nice all
around game for the dorm girls,
both at the net and in ’setting
them up. Helen Gilson is the cap
tain.
Officials for this game are
Margaret Shipler and Anna Ban
nich.
TOMMY OXMAN . . .
. . . is back in the Duck fold as a quarterback.
Canard ClubTipsSigma Chis
In IM Volleyball Thriller
Forfeits seemed to be the fea
ture in today’s volleyball games
as only three of the scheduled six
matches were played. In the ser
ies that were played Canard club
eked out a win over Sigma Chi,
the ATO's defeated the Pi Kaps,
and the Fiji's put down a sturdy
Phi Sig team in their closest
match of the year.
In the first set which was eas
ily one of the best contests of
the year, Canard club squeezed
by Sigma Chi in a three game
thriller, 8-15, 15-12, and 15-10.
The leads varied back and forth
through all the games, but after
the fraternity men won the open
er the Canard players had ev
erything under control.
Weiden starred for the winners
while Stover sparked the losing
team.
ATO’s Win
The ATO sextet beat the Pi
Kaps handily 15-7, 15-11 in a^
other good match. The winnee?/
had the lead all the time except
for a few brief moments at the
start of the second game.
Bob Albord was the Ivey man
for the ATO's while Moore anil
Gilbert led the winners.
Although the scores were 15-6
and 15-8 the Fijis had a rather
tough time putting down the Phi
Sigs.
Fijis Extended
Bryce Sidesinger was the main
stay of the Fijis while six-foot
eight-inch Royal Denton who
played his last game before go
ing into the army led the Phi
Sigs. §)
Sigma Alpha Mu, Phi Sis and
the Phi Delts won by default;
the losers were Zeta hall, the
Yeomen and Sigma Hall in
that order.
