n_' The big question of the week as far as Webfoot fans are con cerned is who will cop the duke in the Washington Oregon bat tering Saturday in Multnomah stadium. We have our own idea of the score, but because of our conserva tive nature won’t tell the world about it. In the first tilt the Huskies rolled over Oregon 20-6. Although the Lemon and Green out played their northern neighbors, both sta tistically and actually, they failed to click in the needed moments. Reynolds Rated High With Bob Reynolds holding down the quarterback spot and Jake Leicht, left half, Walt Donovan, right half, and Deane Bond, full back, the local moleskiners are reallv impressive. Bob Reynolds has been called by many sports scribes as the best quarter DciCK seen on me coast since r rankle Albert or all-American fame. We won't be repeating the rating received by Leicht. Donovan and Bond both come through with yardage when most '"needed and play good ball defensively. In the Huskie backfield will be fleet-footed halfbacks Norm Sansregret, the boy with the educated tossing arm, and Don Kochon. Rochon began with the pilots of the University of Portland and a couple of season ago started on the Bearcat eleven, but now he is playing heads up ball for the Purple and Gold. Huskie Back Plentiful Pest Welch is seriously talking of his team as being a likely candidate for playing in the Rose Bowl. He is counting on his talented backfield to take his team to Pasedena January first and among the sparkling backs that are being counted on to do this are Gcrdy Hungar, Leo Trask, and 17 year old Joe Stone who calls the plays from quarter like an old veteran. In Wally Dash, Welch has a place kicker of no poor means and who be sides is a dead eye passer as can witness by his touchdown pass on a fake play in the USC game. When Colonel Bill Hayward’s cindermen go to Spokane this ^1'hanksgiving, they will face a well balanced squad from Idaho. Holdovers from last year are Ray Hall, Robert Deal, Leroy Bee son, Bob Humphrey, Dean Mosher and returnin letterman Jack Anderson. The local squad does not posses the experienced .runners, but has several fine harriers up from high school com petition. Larry Bell, all-state 880 man last spring, has joined the ranks of the ever rowing thinclads to bloster the squad. Cadets Face Irish Top game of the week is the Navy-Notre Dame grid battle. Even though the Irish are rated one notch above Navy the Ca dets are in great spirit. Coach Oscar Hagberg declared: “After the Penn game, our morale is high, and it gets higher as the Notre Dame game approaches. The midshipmen are confident they are going to hit their stride, and when they do, they are going to look like a great team.” One of the big guns in the naval barrage will be Jim Petit, former athletic great from Portland. Me was the fastest sprinter in Portland prep history. This is the last column of the term for your truly. It has been interesting to write of Oregon teams in their post war surge for power, but I leave Duck Tracks in two capable hands, Co-edi tors Leonard Turnbull (just call me Bull), and Bill Walken ^haw will give the readers the latest in sports gossip. This is ‘30’ for now. FULL STEAM AHEAD AGAIN EDWARDS Six feet, three inches of height, and 220-pounds of brawn are ready for full-scale action once more in the person of Harry “Jumbo” Edwards, freshman tackle from Santa Cruz, California. Edwards suffered injuries in the Idaho Vandal fray, and has not been set for opponent-bruising play until this week. Duck coaches pronounce the bis Huskie headache ready for full duty. Sherry Ross Victors Sherry Ross yesterday played their way into the intramural finals by defeating Campbell Co-op 13-0 in a closely fought struggle. This gives Sherry Ross the chance to play Greeks for the school intramural championship. Sherry Ross pushed two touchdowns across in the last quarter. Both touchdowns were scared within a period of two minutes. The first half was a see-saw affair with neither team scoring. Backs Mosby and Nelson kept the Co-op’s backfield air tight from the dangerous passes of ace Jim Ellison and receivers Goldie Per kins and Ozzie Seida of Sherry Ross. The third quarter found the Co-op boys weakening as the charging Sherry Ross line pene trated opposition with guards Ralph Bondaneuer and Jerry Gow an of Sherry Ross leading the attack. The fourth period provided the two tallies Sherry Ross made dur ing the game. Jim Ellison threw a pass to back Goldie Perkins who scampered the remaining way un touched. The extra point was good when a shovel pass to Ozzie Seida was completed. Sherry Ross kicked off; Co-op was held on four plays and kicked out of trouble. Sherry Ross then set up their next touchdown. Jim Ei'lison threw two consecutive passes neither of which found their mark. On the third play Jim Ellison headed for the right end and didn’t stop till he hit pay dirt, bringing the total to 13-0. Last Minute Passes The Co-cp in the last minutes of the game, tossed desperate passes to ends Simpson and Salvers, but were out of reach. Unbeaten Sherry Ross has high praise for fighting spirit the Co-op team dis played and said it was their tough est game of season’s schedule. Individual stars were scarce in the game, as both team clicked well because of team work. Vic Selmen, left end' for Sherry Ross, should be commended for his heads up ball playing, by recover ing two costly Co-op fumbles.

Hoopsters Drill For First Game By DALE TYLER As November’s clime rolls around and basketball rapidly ap proaches, Coach Hobby Hobson continues to work out the mighty Webfoot hoopsters to prepare them for an initial trial of the season with the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, B.C. Hobby Drills Squad Dividing the players into four squads, Hobby has managed to detect flaws, give special instruc tions and aid to each individual in order to develop him into the smoothest ball handler possible, for both offensive and defensive ball. Ducks Travel North Realizing that time is growing short before the opening game Hobby is stretching the practices ’till far into the dinner hour, ^’ith high hopes of the maplewood boys being in the '‘pink’’ of condition when they engage our Canadian rivals up north. Team Shows Promise Hobson is looking forward to an exciting and encouraging year, thanks to the return of several of the first string championship play ers of last season, not to mention the splendid group of veterans that are returning from the various branches of the service to resume their favorite sport. The last mem ber to join the Casaba squad, is tall, rangy, Marvin Rassmensen, all-city hcopster from the Frank lin Quakers in Portland. Marv was recently discharged from the Army Air Corps as a first lieuten ant. Rooters Attention All Duck rooters can be sure of a grand and glorious basketball season this year as our team attempts to duplicate last year’s feat, under the able coaching of Hobby Hobson, returning after a year’s absence as a lieutenant commander in the navy.
