VOLUME XLV NUMBER 13 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1943 t Servicemen’s Game Opens Brief Season; Soldier Team Tough By WILL LINDLEY With all the color and rivalry of an eastern Army-Navy game, the local ASTU team goes onto the gridiron this afternoon to face the highly touted Navycats of Willamette university. The navy men come into the game as decided favorites following their decisive victory over Whitman last week by a final 20-0 tally. On their side the ASTU men have power and plenty of it. Although grg^n for the most part they boast a rugged line and a faily strong and fast back field. It is with this heavy line and backfield average that the soldiers will attempt to stop the equally heavy Navycats. Sparking the ASTU squad will be Gordon Peterson, tough 265 pound tackle, formerly on Tulane’s frosh team and later varsity man at St. Olaf; George Walker, three-year letterman at West Virginia; , and Dave Lubanko of Cornell. The line will be filled out with players of s junior college and high school experience. i ' Punter Needed f ' Coach John Warren, former mentor for Oregon's varsity Ducks, has yet to find a talented punter among his 50 men, but Bull Kalesh from Drexel institute of Philadelphia is a fine passer, and may lead the ASTU air attack. Bob Pinnick, 190-pound fullback who played with Northwestern looks like a starter along with Gordon Friang, a left end who tips the scales at 175. But the Ducks, boasting an excellent display of talent considering the small pool from which they draw their players, will face an equally go^d Willamette team. Ex-Oregon Men •' Bob Sheridan, a former Oregon freshman basketballer will be in there showing the ASTU how Oregon fought in the good old days, along with ex-Oregon frosh guard Gerald Wolfsher. In tackle positions Chuck Deiner, Willamette veteran, and Brad Schade, three-year letter man from Portland U star. Holding down the backfield for the Navycats will probably be Jim Porter, former Oregon Duckling, at quarterback; Jack Anderson, Col of Puget Sound; and John Macy of Willamette, all talented quar Itt Aks; and Andy Bobo, ace navy fullback. ’“Probable starting lineups as released late Friday night are: (See lineups for today’s game on page 4) * IN THE LINEUP . .. . . . for today’s ASTU-Navy game the name of Gordon Peterson, 265 pound tackle, formerly of the Tulane frosty and St. Olaf varsity teams.

Forum Waxes Hot on Russia Arguing fast and furiously, the first ASUO open discussion viewed the Soviet-American post war relations last night in Guild hall, under the supervision of Dr. Gordon Wright, professor of his tory. Speaking to a mixed group of over 40 students, Dr. Wright stated some historical facts lead ing up to the obvious climax that is facing the United States at the peace table. After a short talk and viewing some of his own opinions, the guest turned the forum over to the, by that time, well-riled students and soldiers. Although no definite conclu sions were reached, views on our attitude toward Russia, and the American population’s attitude toward their type of government were definitely not those of ha tred, but of understanding and tolerance, the forum agreed. Even with occasional wander ings from the main subject, it was generally agreed that Amer ica “had missed the boat” with her relations to the Soviet Un ion, and that unless our states men in the future try to gain the confidence of Stalin, trouble will appear at the peace table. It was felt by many present that some consideration for Chi na, and certain concessions grant ed by England and the United States to Russia will have to be given in order to avoid the con tinuation of this conflict in the next 20 years. The Balkan states, and their feeling toward domina tion by Russia, were considered of great importance in future peace. Foist Aid As a lineman Dick Ashcom should stand out (He starred for the Webfoots last fall); But if things get as dark as they sometimes do, He can step in and carry the hall. —W.R.L.
