T We saw Oregon State beat the Ducks yesterday, 12 to 7. We saw Choc Shelton plow over from the Oregon one-yard marker to put the Beavers out in front. Then came Curt Me cham's tight rope walking for 53 yards, plus Jimmy New quist’s conversion, to put the Ducks out in front. And finally there was Joe Day smashing, dancing, and going 28 yards to give the Beavers the game. Yes, we saw it yesterday. It was the film from last year's Qregon-Oregon State game which was the last stepping stone on the Beaver’s road to the Bowl. ' • - One Touchdown Difference What about this afternoon is the question now. Will the Beavers notch up another win to make it six out of seven for the series since Stiner took over OSC? The score on the game will be pretty much like the one last year, most experts agree. One touchdown should decide the game. Who's go ing to get it? A carrier pigeon smuggled out of Corvallis last night carried a message of great importance. It was, and don’t let the military head see this, to-wit: Bell field is dry as a bone. Mark up one for Oregon State. All year we have thought of Oregon State as just a foot ball team from Corvallis with not very much on the ball. We didn't think they had much in the way of a ball club. Now take a look at some very impressive tacts. Three Deep Everywhere You see, the Rose Bowl paid off for the Beavers this year. — Right now they've got so many darn good players trooping taround that Lon Stiner hasn't fully discovered them all yet. They’re three deep in every position with seasoned players. Take a look at the backfield. Oregon has six good backfield men that can be expected to turn in a good game. Oregon State has 13—that is, that’s as far as we got before we started seeing spots before our eyes. Start at the right half position. First off there's Bill Mc Innis, a left hander who weighs around 195. A speedy lad who runs well to his left and tosses lefthanded bulls-eyes. Spelling him is Leland Gustafson who also takes a whirl at full. For the third man at the spot we have Bill Leichardt. At the Left Half Post Move over to the lefthalf spot and we find Everett Smith. He is a right hander, a nice passer, a powerful runner, and fast for his 190 pounds. Right behind him is Bob Libbe, and to round out the trio is John Beauchamp, the boy that gained his spurs in the Montana game. Nice, isn’t it. I Then there’s the fullback spot. Joe Day and Choc Shelton. It would be rather silly to say much about either one. Day is considered one of the best fulls on the coast behind Bob Kennedy. Shelton isn’t far behind. Bear stor ies from Corvallis would have you believe that these boys won’t be in the game unless the ref lets them use crutches. Smells of “bear stories”. Mustn’t overlook the quarterback position. The men run something like this: Marvin Markman, Frank Parker, Boyd Clement, and Stevenson. That’s thirteen I think. Beats What Oregon Has Anyone of those guys stacks up with the best Oregon can offer in the way of backfield men. The whole carload, exclud ing Beauchamp, weigh around 190 and are fast and powerful. It makes me wonder why I plunked my next month’s allow ance on the Ducks and gave three points to boot. But the picture isn’t quite as drab as one would think. ^ The entire Oregon front wall is ready to play against, ex cepting Shephard, and should take some of the starch out of the abundance of Beaver talent. In fact, Jim Shephard might even sneak into the game. Bill Hayward has gone to work on Jim’s injured leg and when that cagey gent puts his mind to it he could make a legless man walk again. Remember Thirteen Fellows Today We don’t imagine the fellows have forgotten the last time they played on Bell field. They were underdogs that muddy day so they merely walloped the Beavers 20 to 0. And there’s one more angle. Thirteen seniors play their last game tomorrow. Most of ’em will probably start. It would be Russ Rowland at end, Ed Moshofsky and Tom Terry, ■ ackles; Val Culwell and Floyd Rhea, guards; Steve Bod mer, center; Len Surles, quarterback; Roy Dyer at half and Tommy Roblin at full. The rest will see plenty of action. It’s their last game for Oregon. We hope it’s their best. Remember those names this afternoon. A 70s Win IM Battles; Fiji 'B's Show Power Scribes Hold Late Drill; Tickets for Tilt Sold Out A rough and ready contingent of Emerald Sport staff basket bailers left for Corvallis early this morning in a special char tered bus, for their game with the Oregon State Barometer boys, tomorrow. Head Coach Franklin "Ace" Calise put his boys through a stiff drill following the Frosh Rook football game at Hayward field last night. Lee "Timber!” Flatberg, reserve forward, car ried an alarm clock with him to the practice and has it set for 2 a.m. Drill Broke Up The monotonous ringing of the gadget finally broke up the Ore gon cagers' last workout session. “Doc” Stratton, team trainer, indicated that all of his boys were in fine shape and definitely ready for the contest which is slated for the Oregon State gym nasium at 10:30 a.m. Phone calls regarding de mands for tickets to the casa ba classic kept pouring into the Emerald office all day, and the situation grew so serious that eight extra switchboard oper ators had to be pressed into service, not to mention the la bor of a section gang of trunk men installing new phones. (This last service was only ren dered after permission had been received from the government regarding use of priorities in this ease.) Telegrams from the Oregon State athletic department bitter ly protested that the Emerald Barometer basketball game was detracting interest in the Ore gon-Oregon State football game. All available seats for tomor row morning's court war have been grabbed up by enthusiastic fans, and the S.R.O. signs are already decorating the entrances to the Beaver gym. Odds Questionable Eugene and Corvallis gambling houses were still haggling over cdds, as late as last night. It is expected that Life mag azine will send a special bat tery of cameramen to cover the contest. All press associations will have representatives on hand. Coach Calise named the fol lowing men to start for the Em erald quintet: Fred Treadgold and Doug Donahue, forwards; Si Sidqkinger, center; Bud Moore and' Harry Glickman, guards. Traveling Squad The complete traveling squad includes, besides the above men tioned, Bob Jackson. Bill Cavin oss, Reid Farrell, Lee Flatberg and Fred Beckwith. Last minute rights for broad casting the game were not able to be attained by the National Broadcasting system. Watch the Tuesday Emerald for a full coverage of the game. A $10,570 grant from the Unit ed States public health service has been made to the University of Texas John Scaly college of nursing. LIKE THE TOT LINE . . . . . . of an optician’s charts is the name of this Beaver guard, Or ville Zieiaskowski. The ATO “A" amt “B" volley hall vlquads and the Fiji '-B” team won their volleyball games today. Behind the effective pla.yir.g of Bob Macdonald, the ATu s- .nor r<*xtet eked out a 15 to 13, 15 to 12 win over a strong Ch.t Psi. squad in a game that was every thing the score indicates. The lead in both contests varied c-ack and forth and the ATOs had to come from behind in the second game to snatch victory from the losers’ hands. Hal Putnam was the mainstay of the Chi Psis. B's W ill Too The ATO "B" squad also did itself credit when it overpowered a hapless Theta Chi six, 15 to 3, and 15 to 4. The ATos led throughout the match and their iea.d was never challenged, ' Sparks of the winners were Marv Heater and Bud Yande ncynde. In another "B" tilt the Ftps' bested Alpha hall, 15 to 0 and 15 to 6. Again the winners had no trouble in vanquishing their op - ponents in a rather uninteresting contest. Jones, Wilson Stars of the winners were Buck Jones and Bob 'Wilson, The Theta Chi and Delt vol leyball “A'' teams won by de fault from the Yeomen and Alpha hall while the Phi Psi "B’’ team won from the SAEs the same way. Scribes Pick Grid Winner? Their guessing' ability almost; (trained, the Emerald scwts staff's corps of peerless pigskin prognosticators have eont'trted their collective efforts to two football games and one basket ball game this week, of all things. Of major interest to Pacific coast conference fans is the Ore gon - Oregon State traditional bash, scheduled for Corvallis’ Bell field this afternoon. This game will bring together two ball clubs that have taken it on the chin from a number of other gridiron units this season, Stanford-Cal1 Berkeley’s Memorial stadium will probably hold 60,000 scream ing bleacherites today, that crowd assembling to see the Stanford California game. In Corvallis, this morning the Emerald sports staff meets the Oregon State Ba rometer sports staff in a wild basketball game. Here’s our pre dictions for the three affairs: Oregon-Oregon State Our thirteen seniors will have a glory ride, and generally spoil a Beaver Homecoming celebra tion. Oregon, but only by a touch down. The game could be closer than this. Stanford-Califomia The Indians are hotter than fourth of July firecrackers. Looks like the T-Party kids by 10 points or tip. Emerald-Barometer We couldn't pick them, could we ? Besides the editor says we must take an optimistic stand. . . . If they don’t foul their way out, the Emerald gang by G points.
