.lHUlll.lllllllU.lt... Rook Gridders Pound Frosh; Win Sloppy Tussle, 27 to 0 Karamanos, Cole Lead Oregon State Onslaught By FRED BECKWITH Outweighed and outmanned by a superior Oregon State Rook squad, the Oregon Yearlings tool* it on the chin to the tune of 27-0 on Hayward field last night. Burly John Karamanos and his pigskin playmates poured it on in no uncertain terms, scoring a touchdown in every quarter of the ball game. Stocky Benny Holcomb, regular Fresh first string tailback, had been expected to view the game from the bench, but when Head Coach Anse Cornell saw the complexion of the ball game, he waved Benny into the fray. Holcomb, however, was obviously hampered by an injured leg, and was thus far below his usual efficiency, walking off the field at the end of the third quarter.

Samuels took a reverse from Roy Cole and crashed over tackle for a touchdown. The conversion attempt by Samuels fizzled and it was 6-0. There was just a couple of minutes left in the first quar ter when the Kooks again be gan to move. With the ball on their own 23, the Corvallis kids sent pitcher Cole back to heave the leather. He hit iiis target, Samuels, who broke loose and ran to the Oregon 38 where a beautiful tackle by Ralph Bar m-wolf prevented a score. I> layed for a couple of plays, tlii> heaver Cole again got into action, flipping- a strike to An derson who was bumped by three men on the Oregon 26. Samuels sliced off tackle for eight, and Karamanos made it a first down 15 -aids out. Cole circled the end for five, and Cole took a lat eral on the next play to place the leather on the nine as the. period ended. Rooks Again F ’e plays later this same Cole crashed over center into pay dirt, and touchdown number two. Ly ons added the point, and that was the margin, 13-0 at half-time. A bie .k set up the third Rook touchdown early in the third per iod. A bad pass by snapper-back Cooper was recovered by the Rooks 12 yards out. Despite a backfield in motion penalty (one t)f many all night long- rulings' the visitors, four plays later, sent Captain Cole over right tackle for six more points, Lyons added the point and it was 20-0. Weep in the final period, Ku rainanos broke through the fjo-li forward wall, and raced from his own 15 to the l’rosh 12. It took a pass, l’erino to drove, to register score num ber four. Ferine made the extra point good, and that conclud ed scoring for the evening.

In the East the Ohio State-Michigan game on which hinges the hopes of the Buckeyes, the Cal-Stanford heel', and the Oregon-Oregon State “Civil War"—all will spiel forth from your radio today. Following is the radio roundup on the games. OUEGON-OSC — 1:45 pan., KOBE (1450 kc). CALIFORNIA - STANFORD —i pan.. HEX (1100 ke). OHIO STATE - MICHIGAN— 11:15 a.in., KOIN (910 kc); 12 noon, KGW (620 kc). MINNESOTA - WISCONSIN— 11:15 a.ill., HEX (1190 kc). BICE - TCU — 12:45 pan.. KALE (1830 kc). Odds Even Up as Ducks, OSC Clash in 46th Annual ‘Civil War’ (Continued from page one) game in the yellow and green today. They have played OSC before, and seen the outcome go both ways most of them. They re member the 20 to 7 trouncing Oregon handed the Beavers in 1940. but never will they forget how Oregon State rebounded last year. Beaver Humors Reports from the Beaver camp say that both Joe Day and Choc Shelton, star OSC backs, are doubtful participants this after noon. Both were supposed to have suffered from knee injuries dur ing the Stanford game, and Day is supposedly down with the flu. This all formulates a first class "bear story". A trainman who saw the Staters in San Francis co reported that Day was per fectly able to run around, enter into horseplay, and make a dash to catch his train without a sign of t limp. Glad to Meet Them Shelton may be injured, and Day may have the flu, but you can bet your favorite Indian head penny that both will see action today, and a band of revenging Ducks will be more than glad to greet either one of them. Of the 13 seniors who will play their last game for Oregon, Jim Shephard is the only doubtful entry. Shop has suffered from a leg injury ever since the UCLA game, but he would almost con sider having that bad leg severed to get a chance to play today. Chances are he will, too. The de termined spirit he has shown could easily overshadow liis in jury, and cause him to put on a sparkling performance. Maybe he will. The rest of the seniors — Russ Nowling, end; Dick Ashcom, Ed Moshofsky, and Tom Terry, tack les; Val Culwell, Floyd Rhea, and Bob Davis, guards; Steve Bod ner, center; Len Surles, quarter back; Roy Dyer and Ken Oli phant, right halfbacks; and Tom my Roblin, fullback -are all in condition to see action. And they are not going north for a tea party; they are out to get that Beaver. The Webfoots are more anxious for victory than they have been at any time this year, and there is one thing that will help im mensely—student support. That was proven in the UCLA game. Warren has stated that »the spirit shown by the rooting section and the marvelous job of dire * ion by Ted Loud, was an impoitant factor in upsetting the rampaging Bruins, and that if the same support is shown today, Oregon has an excellent chance to dump the Beavers. ^iiHiniiiiiiiuiiuuuiiininiiiiiiiiniiiiiilBUiHiinHniiiinijiniiiiniimHiiKmiinniiii1 g S Two Ducks | On Husky I All-Coast Tommy Roblin and Floyd “Scrappy” Rhea were chosen on the second team of the All-Coast squad selected by Ralph Welch, University of Washington coach.

Ramblers Pack Plenty Hoop Talent VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 19 —(Special)—They’re already tab bing the Vancouver Ramblers the most powerful independent hoop aggregation put together in the Northwest in a number of sea sons, which indicates Coach Howard Hobson’s Oregon Duckf are assured a stiff pre-season wrestle when they entertain the ramblers November 28, in a Thanksgiving holiday feature. Birth of the Ramblers came six months ago when A1 (Pop) El kins, known as the “Bald Baron of Basketball” in the Portland Vancouver area, severed his man agership connection with the strong Bruno Studio club. El kins had the nucleus of a strong squad in two ex-Vancouver high boys, Bob and Jack Mulder, who were starters last season at Southern Oregon normal and Oregon State college, respective ly. OSC Players Then big John Mandic, the Beaver All-American, signed a contract and Elkins quickly add ed Sam Dement, another OS^1 regular of last year, Don Zim merman of Washington State, Worley Ellis, all-state forward at Vancouver high in 1938, Nello Vanelli, ex-Oregon Stater, Chuck Versteg, high scorer for Willam ette Bearcats a season ago and Doc Archer, a “bird-dog" who earned his collegiate plaudits at Bradley Tech. Result of all this activity by the 34-year-old Elkins—whose sand and gravel company did the hulk of the paving for Kai ser company’s huge shipyard here—was formation of a unit that many a college coach would peddle the field house cornerstone to possess. Height to burn is a Rambler attribute, for Mandic, Dement and the two Mulders all scale b|^ tween six feet four and five incl^^ es, while the latest addition to the club — Bill Oesterhaus of South Dakota State Teachers, is six-six and cne-half in his bare feet. Starters at Eugene will probably be Mandic, Ellis, De ment, Zimmerman, and Jack Mulder. Called to Service “We’re highly appreciative of this chance to play Oregon,” said Elkins, “for many of the boys on the club will be in the service shortly after January 1—and it's their last fling at basketball. Fancy new purple and gold uniferms, with warmup jackeh^ to match, make the Eamblerl^ positive sartorial sensations and Elkins says Eugene fans will see a class of basketball November 28 to match the gaudy garb.
