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

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

trouble in vanquishing their op -
ponents in a rather uninteresting
contest.

Stars of the winners were Buck

The Theta Chi and Delt vol

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.
