Two undefeated records go on the block at Hayward field today, and by late this afternoon Pacific Coast grid followers will know just how potent the mystery Montana Grizzly and slowly developing Yv ebfoot elevens are. The Montanans ride into camp on the crest of a pair of decisive wins, contests in which the Grizzlies won so easily that an accurate evalua tion of their strength could not be made. On the other hand. Tex Oliver's Ducks have proven: talent with which to work. To 4 d|fcc they have squeezed by two l opponents with the narrowest: possible margin, the toes of g Jake Leicht and Jim Newquist JIM NEWQUIST providing; the extra-point supplement to their tamed One- J wo Punch offensive. With a list of injuries mounting daily the Web foots have had a tough time getting started the loss of Tony Crish yesterday, being the latest blow. When the Grizzlies step on the field today, they will boast one of their best teams in the history of the school. It is one that is loaded with power and speed and one that has plenty of confidence. Doug Fessenden’s boys have not made the trip down here with the idea of losing, in fact rather the opposite— they expect to lay the Webfoots low by a couple of touch downs. The Oregon eleven is likewise confident of victory. They took it easy in the first contest, won the second with their fight and spirit; with the third game on hand the Webfoots have the oppor tunity to really prove themselves. Leicht on a Bicycle ^Missing again today will be Jake Leicht. Tex Oliver’s ace halfback will undoubtedly suit tip, but get in the game? Well, hardly. Jake’s knee is coming along fine, and he could undoubted ly outrun most of the boys on the field, but the leg is still too weak to take any chances. To strengthen it, Colonel Bill Hayward now has Jake riding a bicycle around the campus. Oregon rooters have another chance to prove their school spirit today, a topic open to considerable discussion during the week by this column and by other sources as well. In an appeal to the propriety of the student body and the reputation of the school, rooters are asked to conduct themselves in a manner that will not bring offense to many of the more conservative persons present at the ballgame. ’Nuff said about that. At press time last night the eager Emerald sports staff was still waiting for Dick Kern and his staff of the Montana Kaimin to call the wager offered by the local book makers. Since Wednes day, when the first communication was sent to Missoula, there has been a steady exchange of telegrams. Their first wire arrived yesterday and contained the follow ing message. “Gentlemen, apparently you are not as sure of your Ducks as we are of our Grizzlies. However, we will take your measly 12 points and cover your bet (100 dollars). We may have more to bet by Friday so stand by for a ram.” This was very confusing, because our first wire to Montana defi nitely stated that we expected them to uphold their boast that the Grizzlies would beat Oregon by 12 points. Their message implied that they expected us to spot them 12 points. Ante Boosted to $350 The local kids kicked back with another wire that clarified the terms of the bet, and an answer came back offering to boost the ante to 350 bucks. They said they would call the' original bet. The question then arose—was the original bet for us to spot them 12 or visa versa. Our last communication specified the terms of the bet in such a way that there can be no further misconception, but there has been no answer. However, if they are willing to make the wager for the same amount on an even-points basis, we will call. Late last night there was still no word from Missoula. When the first message arrived yesterday and the news was spread that there was a possibility of getting Oregon and 12 points—not that they will need it—all of our friends that we haven't seen for months were here to place their bets. Even though it is likely that the whole deal will fall through, the sud den outburst of check books gave some of the Emerald staff members who have been living on nickel hamburgers an indica tion of who was good for a dinie for a cup of coffee. ATO’s Down Vet A’s In Grid Roughie, 13-0 Alpha Tau Omega won their second game of the intramural sea son yesterday when they outbattled Vet’s hall A 13 to 0, in a rough and tumble affair that saw two Vet’s ko’d and one ATO flagged off the field for unnecessary roughness. In the opening round the ATOs received and racked up a quick first down before an interception by Bob Erickson stopped them. During the rest of the period the ball stayed ir, midfield, with both teams show ing a tight defense. In the second quarter the ATOs threatened severaf times. On a long fourth down pass, an oppor tunity to score was lost when the receiver dropped the’ ball in the end zone. Dorm A, however, was unable to get out of the danger zone in four downs, and the ATOs took over again. A sharp running and passing attack carried them to the Dorm A 12 late in the period, but the \ets put up a fierce defense, causing four consecutive ATO passes to go incomplete. Every scrimmage in the last half was a wide open melee, which saw an ATO player booted from the game, but only after two Dorm A team members had been knocked out. Midway in the third period the ATOS were backed to their own 12, but Dick Stoinoff made a beautiful 30 yard run, and a long pass put them on the Vet's 16. Stoinoff took the ball again and shot a pass to Ramsey Fennel in the end zone for 6 points. The conversion attempt failed as the whistle ended the quar ter. A roughness penalty put the Vets on their own 15 as the final heat got under way. They dis played their best offensive drive of the game in pushing to the ATO thirty before an ther 15 yard penalty broke it up. With less than two minutes remaining, the Vets regained possession of the ball' on the ATO 30, but could go no further. The outstanding play of the DOUG FESSENDEN . . .

The 1946 Montana squad, considered the best in history, faces the Webfoots on Hayward field at 2 p.m. today. game occurred in the last twenty seconds, when South of ATO ran 70 yards to another touchdown, behind interference which, featured some very effective though illegal straight-arming. ATO completed a bullet pass for the extra point. Lineup: ATO Dorm A Fennel .C.Jensen Aiken .RG.Conrad Thomas.LG. Stafford Barret.RE.Allen Uhle.LE.

Ski Officials (Continued from f’ciye four) new ski spot on a Timberline, Sun Valley basis. At present, and for the coming ski season, the slopes are more for those who are novices and dubs in skiing, than experts who like long winding trails and open fallines for tricky stem turns and fast schush ing. With a weather eye out to the large number of Californians on the campus this year, Mr. Korn ex pressed his belief that there would be many new ski enthusiasts at the University. He hopes that all those having the bug to try the thrilling sport will now have the chance to make a short trip to try the slats rather than the longer journey to Hoodoo bowl, the popular ski center for Eugene in past years. Plans are under consideration to give skiing lessons in the Upper Willamette Ski Area even though there will not be enough top flight instructors to go around for the expected exodus of new ski fans. “There are many ski troopers back who will be able to assist in any program adopted for the teaching of novices in this sport and we hope to use them,” was Mr. Korn’s comment when questioned about teaching facil ities. In the future, it is hoped to clear away more acreage that will allow high speed courses. In the event that this is carried out along with the New England type trails, the area will be one of the better ski spots on the west coast in Mr..Korn’s esti- # mation. Russians are believed to be hold ing army maneuvers in Romania from October 9 to 14.
