Garden Bid
Assured UO
Maple Five
While talking to Basketball Chief
Howard “Hobby” Hobson the
other day he gave us little pre
season newspaper information on
the 45-46 outlook.
“The outlook on paper is fine at
the present time and with an in
flux of freshmen to look forward
to, competition should be hot and
heavy, said Hobson,”
Coach Hobson has received in
vitation from Madison Square
Garden in New York and also an
invitation to compete in an invi
tational tournament at Chicago.
These invitations are now pending
before the conference committee
and' nothing is at all definite about
the games.
Strong: on Paper
On paper the squad looks very
strong, what with all of the 44-45
squad back except Forward Del
Smith from Rainier. This team
was composed of Jim Bartelt,
guard: Captain Bob Hamilton,
guard; Ken Hays, center; Del
Smith, forward; and Dick Wilkins,
forward.
Wth this, group of players and
a few reserves this almost inex
perienced squad managed to cap
ture the Northern Division Cham
pionship and later the Far Western
NCAA Championship under the
apt handling of Coach John War
ren.
Vets Will Return
Now that the war is over and
they are discharging servicemen
all over the hemisphere W'e may
get back some of our ex-players
who have been doing their part.
With the biggest share of last
year's team on hand and the pros
pect of some veterans from the
service we may look forward to a
pretty fair team, at least on paper.
REVISION OF THE DRAFT
LAW went on the shelf of the
senate military committee to wait
while measures aimed to induce
army-navy enlistments get a trial.
There are eight generals among
the alumni of Ohio State univer
sity.
By BOB CHAPMAN
One week from today an inexperienced Webfoot grid eleven
open their 1945 season against the Navy V-12 arid civilian
Washington Huskies in Seattle. Between now and the initial
clash, marking Oregon’s return to the Pacific Coast Collegiate
ranks after a three year leave of absence, coach “Tex” Oliver
and his staff plan to hold three
scrimmage sessions before an
nouncing the 28-man traveling
squad.
Competition Keen
Competition is high for start
ing' berths and at the present time
first string positions are held by
the following: Left end; alternat
ing, Bill Pickins, 200, and Mark
Hathaway, 195; left tackle, Harry
Edwards, 210; left guard Bill
Kauffman, 200; center, Bill Ander
son, 190; right guard, Harry
Reiton, 218; right tackle, Gil
Roberts, 230; right end, Bob And
erson, 190; quarter, Bill Abbey,
168; left half Bobby Reynolds,
only returning letterman, 185;
right half, Walter Donovan, 170;
and fullback, Deane Bond, 192.
None of the positions on the
squad are cinched because every
day injuries, new players, and im
provement in reserve material con
tinues to change the picture. Ore
gon's turnout was 23 the opening
day of practice but each day has
seen an increase in the squad and
the total now stands at 61. Before
freshman registration two scrim
mages were held daily but since
then Oliver has cut morning prac
tice.
Reserves Rugged
Second string gridders (Bd; ^
ote)—They really give the startersW*
a rugged time in scrimmage and
don’t be surprised if several of
these fellows make the first string .
in the near future often referred to
as the “Reds" include; ends, John
Ohmer, Dale Warberg, Joe Marion,
Gordon Allbright; tackles, Daniel
Neuman, Bill Morin; guards Steve
Mezzera, Tony Vernonda; center
Neil Diess; quarter, D. Bob Ward
well; halfbacks, De Wayne John
son, Don Tayler; fullback, Andy
Bodner and Dale Bargett.

ants in the marine corps recently after completing training at

Duck Tracks
King Football has started to take hold on the campus what with fiis
return this fall. It sounds good to hear the yells of the players as they
run out on the scrimmage field. Later you will probably hear these yells
turn into moans and groans as the scheduled workout .comes to an end
and the players manage to reach the dressing room by their own power.
This is a short word picture of what you might expect to find at a
Webfoot football practice. Coach Oliver and his staff are really going
to have to work a miracle as their first game is with Washington in
Seattle a week from today.
* *
Washington has ten returning lettermen plus sixteen Naval trainees
who have had varying degrees of experience. The point that puts Wash
ington in the number one spot is the ability to field two experienced
clubs.
The Huskies are also very lucky in the practice department, as they
have been working out together all summer and have thus been able to
determine the weakness of any players that there may be. This long
practice period will also have toughened up the players against any in
juries that they might sustain during their coming gridiron schedule.
One thing will be certain though, regardless of the competition that
is facing the Lemon and Green eleven they will go down fighting. Ore
gon’s team may be an inexperienced eleven but that won’t make any
difference in their fighting spirit.
Oregon will run into similiar situations at both UCLA and California. -
Both these California teams are making first class use of all the foot
ball material that they are able to find in the military personnel attend
ing these two schools. Any rivals that play schools with such setups wiftx*
be definitely asking for it and getting it, probably. Oregon can take it,
only the first game will be able to show us how they will make out in the
other department. We will be pulling for the Webfeet all the way and we
hope that the rest of the school will feel apd do the same.
