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.

It’s the last one for Tommy Roblin to
day when he and his Duck mates meet
the Beavers on Bell field.
The game climaxes three years at
Oregon for Tommy—three mighty good
years.
Playing along with Tommy in this, his
last game, will be 12 other Webfoots
who are donning lemon and green for
the last time.

First Rook Score
The kleiglight classic wasn’t
six rainotes old before right half*
bach. 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.

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.

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.
