Duke Iversen (lower left) will start at quarterback for the Ducks, and his prow ess as an offensive blocker and defensive line-backer is highly recognized by coast football' critics. The work-horse of thq Oregon backfield thus far this season has been Halfback Jim Newquist (lower right), who is slated for a starting assign ment at right half.

Coach Bert La Brucherie brings the Uclans into the homeland of the Duck with the most impressive record ever stacked up by a Westwood team. Bruins Ride Crest 'i'he souped-up B r u i n offense has steamed head-on into six straight opponents and has lowered the boom on all. At present the Uclans are perched on the top-most rung of the conference ladder and have only to top Oregon, Montana, and Southern Cali fornia to ramble into the Rose Bowl. Oregon s Webfoots slipped victorious through opposition provided by College of Pacific, California, Montana and Idaho. 1 he fit st smear on the Duck ledger came via a 0-0 tie with Washington State Col lege. I he saddest spot in Oregon’s ’46 grid history came when Southern California unceremoniously dumped the Duck 43-0. Weather—Is the Question 1 Biggest question of the day will be whether the all-speeds-fonvard Bruin of fense will operate in anything but low gear on the soggy Civic stadium turf. Coach La Biucherie provides one possible answer by way of a beefy '‘wet-weather” backfiekl composed of lads whose specialty is heavy going.

Depart* ments desiring to give tests of more than one hour duration may use extra class periods during the week. The change was made because of the shortened terms, and the tight classroom schedules now mo* isting at the University. __ i Whiskerino Tickets Go on Sale Tuesday at Co-op, Men's Houses Tickets for the Whiskerino dance will go on sale at the Co-op Tuesday noon, Joe Conroy, ticket sale chairman, said Friday.
