Huskies Have Leicht Complex
45ob Reynolds Set For Tilt;
Oliver Works On Iron Line
The Oregon eleven will he on the short end of 3-to-l odds at
Multnomah stadium Saturday. During the week Tex Oliver
had his gridmen work on defensive plays to offset the Huskies
well-balanced attack. Bobby Reynolds, newly-initiated quarter
back for the Oregon team, is reported in good condition.’Bobbv
suffered the worst of cuts and
bruises in the UCLA game, taking
more punishment than any other
player in a Duck attempt to hold
the Uclans squad last Friday night.
Iron Men
Oliver knows he needs iron men
in order to keep pace with the
navy-strengthened Huskies. With
a none too abundant supply of re
serves, Oliver is relying on good
condition of the first team to last
most of the game this Saturday at
Portland.
-—Coach Pest Welch of Washing
ton is spending his time on the turf
trying to convince high-riding
Huskies the Oregon team is more
than a Leicht worry. The Huskies
have been informed through their
head man of the ability in Oregon’s
candidate for All-American, Jake
Leicht.
Good Average on Kicks
Leicht has averaged better than
55 yards on kickoffs, 40 yards on
punts and has kicked two extra
points from placement. Small as
he is, his defensive work both in
tackling and foiling the passes is
not to be overlooked.
The Huskies, in their first en
counter with Oregon, did not op
pose Leicht, and Reynolds did not
handle the T. With these two
changes, the Oregon team and
Oliver will be trying for a win.
No Match
The Washington team has no in
dividual who can perform or match
Jake Leicht, but their team is well
balanced, and backed with re
serves, experience and a chance
for the Rose Bowl. '
Washington and Oregon have
both given gridmen long workouts
in the rain. Neither coach expects
to be caught without some know
ledge of what to do on a slippery
turf.
Both teams will be able to have
a full week of practice, because of
the short distance in traveling
hours to Portland for the two
schools.
A capacity crowd of 20,000 is
assured Saturday to add color to
this momentous occasion, in foot
ball, via Portland.
Welchmen Set For Second
Tilt With Oliver’s Gridsters
"^Seattle, Oct. 31—Look out for Oregon! That's the battle-cry
around the Washington Husky practice field today as the con
querors of USC’s mighty Trojans get set for their second meet
ing with the We Moots of Eugene at Portland. The Huskies
survived the gruelling name wiui
no serious injuries. Only Gail
Bruce, who saw no action against
Southern Cal., may be on the side
lines at kickoff time in Multnomah
Stadium Saturday. Bruce, regular
right end, reinjured his right knee
in practice before the Trojan game
and hasn’t suited up since. How
ever, Marvin Hein, who played a
whale of a game agains USC as
Bruce’s substitute, scoring the
Huskies first touchdown on a pass
from Joe Stone, will be set at the
right wing-post in the Oregon
battle.
The Huskies are confident but
r
not cocky. They know that Ore
gon is probably the best club on
the Coast when they’re “up” and
figure Jake Leicht, Bob Reynolds
& Co. will be loaded to knock them
off.
Washington took a day off Mon
day while Coaches Ralph Welch,
Sandy Sandberg, Tubby Graves
and Steve Slivinski huddled in an
all-important coaches’ meeting to
devise ways of stopping Tex
Oliver’s baffling “Oliver Twist.”

, By DALE TYLEK
Holding down the center of our
Webfoot line and doing a wonder
ful job in both offensive and de
fensive playing is husky freshman,
Bill Anderson.
A native of Long Beach, Bill bid
farewell to sunny California and
ventured north to continue his
education and make a prominent
splash in sport activities at Ore
gon. A graduate of Woodrow
Wilson high school in Long Beach,
he entered this fall as a physical
education major, with plans on
coaching a championship football
team some day. By playing two
years of varsity high ball, Bill has
proved very beneficial to Tex
Oliver in filling the key pivot slot
in the forward wall, and should
also be very valuable to John War
ren as a swimming ace of the
small but mighty swimming team.
Summer Life Guard
During summer months for the
past three years Andy has cashed
in on his ability to make with the
arms and legs like a fish, by work
ing as a lifeguard at one of the
many famous beaches just out of
Los Angeles. Although he favors
the weather down south, he states,
“I can’t get over all the beautiful
trees, shrubs, and well-cut grass
on the campus. California schools
have nothing to compare with Ore
gon as far as natural scenery is
concerned, but as yet I haven’t
seen any girls that can compete
with the women at home.” Well
girl's, that is your cue to show a
few of your hidden qualities
because Andy leaves himself open
for a change in mind.
Back Home Last Week
Bill felt right at home when the
Ducks battled with Uclans last
Saturday, but remarked, ‘‘My
friends certainly showed a rough
brand of friendship. After the
game, I was a bruised and batter
ed mess.”
As to the remaining games the
Webfoots have to play, Bill could
see nothing better than a mighty
victory over the confident Huskies
Saturday and our "Civil War”
rivals December 1. After football
season, Andy will devote his
athletic ability to the swimming
team.
Footballers Haven
Along with most of Olivers’
boys, Bill lives in Alder house
where he tries to find time for his
twelve hours of studies. But he
admits that this job is next to im
possible. “The fellows are really
swell,” commented Andy, "and
they’re always ready to lend a
helping hand.”
Due to the fact that his birth
day is in December, Bill may be
called into the Army in a few
months because then he will be
just the right age. If not, he will
continue at Oregon for the remain
der of his college career. Inci
dentally, Bill’s little brother plans
on following his big brother’s sug
gestion and attend Oregon in
about five years. Let’s hone he
possesses some of his brother’s
traits.
Another player on the grid
home town, is none other than ex
eleven that hails from Andy’s
Capt. John Kauffman who with
out a doubt should feel honored
I because of Bill.
Gal: “Am I the first girl you
ever kissed?”
Gob: “Now that you mention it,
you do look familiar.”
Rockefeller Center, which cov
ers almost 12 acres in the heart
of New York, is the largest pri
vately-owned business center in
America.
