    Webfoots Hit Road;
Plan Work out Friday
Unable to make plane reservations, Coach Tex Oliver’s hoys
left the campus shortly after practice last night enroute for
J’ullman, to play the Washington State Cougars Saturday.
Oliver, realizing his team was a bit weary after six tough games
on successive week ends held only short workouts on Tues’dav
and Wednesday nights, believing
that rest will be better for his grid
ir.en than practice. The early-week
start has been designed to provide
the most rest possible.
Ducks Not Over Confident
With little regard to the 26-13
victory scored here a few weeks
ago, Oliver is still stressing the
importance of badly needed block
it g for his light and speedy backs.
Although tonight was hindered by
occasional showers, the Ducks
took full advantage of the wet and
muddy turf realizing that in all
probability they will have similar
playing conditions in their game
against the Cougars Saturday.
Regardless of the fact that the
VVebfoots could gain but 20 yards
on the ground against the Huskies
inn (he mud at Portland Iasi week
end, there was no indication of a
change in the backfield combina
f,;0ii of Bobby Reynolds at quarter,
J ike Leieht and Walt Donovan at
the halfback berths and Deane
Bond and DeWayne Johnson alter
nating at fullback.
No Serious Injuries
With no serious injuries resulting
ii last weeks contest, the Ducks
will be in full strength for their re
t. irn engagement with the Gougais
but due to Washington State’s 7-7
tie with California at Berkeley last
v. eek the Webfoots are not too con
fident of such a smooth sailing
victory as their first engagement.
The travel schedule calls for an
overnight stay in Portland, day
light train trip to Spokane Thurs
day, and a late arrival at Pullman
Thursday night. The Oregon eleven
will remain at Pullman until early
Sunday morning and expert to re
turn to the campus late Sunday
xnTight or early Monthly morning.
The squad personnel will total
. men for trip to Pullman. Only
minor injuries have been listed.

Beavers Plan New
Defensive Tactics;
Welchmen Favored
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Nov. 8.—The Oregon
State Beavers, victors over Idaho
by a 34 to 0 count here last Sat
urday, will meet first place Wash
ington for the second time this
season at Seattle Saturday. Coach
Pest t^elch’s Rose Bowl bound
Huskies whipped' the Orange, 13-0,
in Portland on October 20 and will
be heavily favored to win by an
even more decisive margin in
Seattle.
On successive Saturdays the
powerful Huskies have ■ triumphed
over Washington State, Oregon
State, Southern California and
Oregon. Only games with the
,Beavers, W.S.C. and Idaho lie be
tween the Seattle club and an un
disputed Pacific coast conference
championship and a sure bid to the
Rose Bowl.
After a slow start;, the Beavers
got rolling- in the second quarter
and made an impressive showing
against an outmanned Idaho team.
i
Coach Lon Stiner’s team made two
touchdowns apiece in the second
and third quarters and added one
more in the fourth. Two of the
scores were made on passes and
three on running- plays as the
Orangemen showed a diversified
attack.
The Beaver backfield combina
tion that seemed to click the best
against the Vandals consisted of
John Karamanos, quarterback;
Dick Gray, left half: Vic Hartman,
right half; and Garth Rouse, full
back. Stiner plans to start this
quartet against the Huskies.
House made the most spectacular
play of the Idaho game when he
broke through the Vandal line on
a fake punt and sprinted 69 yards
for a touchdown.
Oregon State's line played a
great defensive game last Satur
day, holding the Vandals to a net
gain of nine yards from scrim
mage and spilling Idaho backs for
several big losses. Left end Dick
Lorenz, right end Bud Gibbs and
center Bob Krell looked particu
larly good. However, Washington's
flock of talented ball carriers made
good yardage through the Orange
line in the first meeting of the
two clubs, so a real job confronts
the Beaver forward wall Saturday.
At the same time the Orange
must devise ways of breaking
through the stiff Washington de
fense. The veteran Husky line
kept the Beavers bottled up all
afternoon in Portland. Stiner’s
men never seriously threatened to
score as the Beaver running and !
passing attack failed to get rolling
against the hard charging Huskies.

Barons Win
Bows Co-ops
Intra Seven
The airlanes provided the mar
gin of victory necessary for the
Barons to defeat a strong Campbell
Co-op seven, 15-0, Wednesday ev
ening on the water soaked foot
ball field adjacent to Mac court
Both squads played a hard fought
game but Dick Clark and company
hit through the air and the Co-op
eleven was unable to break up the
attack.
By virture of their victory, the
Barons moved into second place in
league standings and thus threaten
to challenge the supremacy of the
the first place Sherry Ross eleven.
Should the Barons upset the league
leaders this afternoon a playoff
game will be necessary in order to
determine the opponent of the
Greeks in the all-important cham
pionship game.
The Barons unleashed a com
bined aerial and ground attack
against the Campbell club Wed
nesday but they are expected to
meet tougher competition this af
ternoon when they clash with a
favored Sherry Ross seven.
A first quarter safety enabled
the Barons to take an early lead
which was never challenged during
the tussle. Late in the first half
Dick Clark completed a pass to
Bill Ralston which was good for six
points. A pass from Terkusich to
Ralston added the extra point. The
second touchdown was via the air
lanes again, this time Terkusich
was on the receiving end of a bul
let aerial from Dick Clark. During
the game Clark connected favor
ably with his receivers and al
though Bill Shelton did not cross
pay dirt he provided the necessary
push to bring victory to the Baron
seven.
Joe Louis’ Portland
Visit Not Decided
The planned visit of heavyweight
champion Joe Louis to Portland to
referee the all-star boxing show
November 23 is still undecided.
At the present time Louis is in
the San Francisco Bay region ap
pearing in several exhibition shows
as the referee. Oakland’s Jimmy
Murray has had him in top billing
on his card and San Francisco’s
Frankie Scaler not to be outdone is
reported to have signed Joe Louis
for a four-round exhibit bout on
November 15 in the Civic auditor
ium. It will be the first public ex
hibition bout for Louis since he
received his discharge from the
army a month ago.
Louis is now 221 pounds which
is about 15 pounds over his fighting
weight. He is leading a soft life in
the bay area playing golf and eat
ing fat juicy steaks in Oakland
with Irwin Rosee, Uncle Mike Ja
cob’s nephew, as his manager dur
ing his barnstorming tour. It looks
like Uncle Mike is taking no
chances with his prize package and
is keeping his nephew with him
so as to be informed on his moves.
Hi-Y Reunion Tonight
According to Ed Marshall,
president, there will be a Hi Y
reunion tonight at YMCA house at
7:30. The purpose of the meeting
is for discussion of future plans.
A short novelty program will be
provided for entertainment and re
freshments will be served.

Hard charging fullback of the Duck eleven is Dean Bond.
Bond played almost sixty minutes of brilliant defensive action
against the University of Washington Huskies last week at
Portland. The Cougar line will see plenty of him Saturday at
the game in Pullman.

The experts have been going crazy all week long picking an
All-American football team. This practice of picking the top
flight leather-luggers is being compared with such painful
pranks as cop fightin’, betting the rent money on “hot tips’’
and deriding the mother-in-law to the little woman. However,
the experts have removed the ice
bags from puffy heads and are
once more settling down to dig
ging ditches. They have at long
last announced their early choices
for the All-American honors.
West Point Tops All
It was tough getting beyond the
post boundary at West Point and
not because of the' M.P.'s either.
For as six bruised and battered
opponents cf the Cadets could tell
you in much more emphatic tones
the khaki clad gang has a lot of
sure fire All-American.
Five of them get the nod here,
with two from Alabama, and one
each from Navy, Purdue, Ohio
State and St. Mary’s. That
means six from the east, and
two each from the mid-west and
WAA Plans
Fun Night
A fun night, to which all wo
men on the campus are invited, will
be sponsored Friday night by the
W omen’s Athletic association.
Scheduled from 7 to 9. the evening
will feature volleyball, swimming,

Of the 11 boys, all big for their
age, four are southerners, two
hail from the cow country and
the midwest, another is from the
Pacific Coast, and the other is
right out of the Pacific, Hono
lulu, Hawaii to be exact.
The team as seen in the bottom
of the rain barrel:
Second Team Lineup
That would be quite a footte£(ft~
team, to put it mildly, and a
second team from this spot would
read like this: Backs— Frank
Dancewicz, Notre Dame; Bob
Fenimore, Oklahoma Aggies; Stan
Kislowski, Holy Cross; and Pete
Pihos, Indiana. Ends: Max Dodge,
Nevada; and Bob Ravensburgh,
Indiana. Tackles: Don Malmberg,
UCLA and Buster McClure,
Nevada. Guards: Joe Dickerson,
Penn, and Ed Deramee, navy.
Center: Dick Scott, Navy.
But in this corner those boys
would play a bit of second fiddle
to the first squad. There the line
is rough, tough, heavy and still
fast. The backfield of Gilmer,
Davis, Wedemyer and Blanchard

That's overlooking a lot of good
boys, admittedly. Standouts in the .

Mississippi State; Gene Rossides,

Cal Rossi, UCLA, Joe Ponsetto,

Penn State, to name a few.
