Aggies Win, '46 Season Ends Tex Oliver Sings Swan Song With Loss to Traditional Foe University of Oregon’s Webfoots pulled the curtain on the 1946 grid season Saturday in Corvallis when they dropped a 13 to 0 decision to Oregon State College on Bell field in one of the muddiest encounters any Oregon crowd ever witnessed While the Duck team was winding up its season, Coach UeralO “Tex” Oliver was also singing his swan song as an Oiegon coach. , . . By virtue of the Saturday shut out, the Ducks found themselves firmly entrenched in fifth place in Pacific Coast Conference stand ings. After Oregon State and Washington battle it out this week and the Ducks will automatically drop to sixth place unless the Bea vers and Huskies play a tie game. Saturday the Oregon gang fell back on an old Webfoot habit of looking strong in the first half, and folding in the second' period. For the first two quarters the Ducks had the big share of scoring op portunities but were never able to quite push forward the needed scor ing punch.

Following a 29 yard sprint by Jake Leicht that went to live OSC seven yard line, diminu tive Jake pitched a pass to End Dick Brown who barely missed making the scoring catch. To fol low this effort Leicht again took the ball and after vainly searching for an open pass receiver took it on the run. He got to the Beaver two-yard line before being knocked out of bounds, where the Bevos took the ball on downs. This was the closest the Webfoots came to a score. In the second half of the game it was a different story, with Coach Lon Stiner’s lads showing almost unlimited power. The • Orangemen scored number one in the third quarter on a long drive that began on Stale 19 yard line and ended in the Oregon end zone. Kight half Don Samuels culminated the long march with a pass to Kight End Dave Ander son who stepped over for the score.

Webfoot Harriers Leave Wednesday For Seattle Meet Oregon’s quintet of harriers, pre paring for their big test of the sea son, the Northwest Collegiate Cross Country run in Seattle Thanksgiv ing day, sloshed around a water covered track yesterday in the next to the last workout before entrain ing for Seattle Wednesday evening. Colonel Bill Hayward has selected five long distance .runners to repre sent Oregon in this annual classic sponsored by the University of Washington. The men who will car ry Oregon’s colors to the shore of Green lake, the site of the course, are Hugh Stapleton, George, Wat kins, A1 Pietschman, Bob Driesner, and Dale Harlan. Yesterday these five men, who will lope four miles, ambled their way over the Hayward field track, now reminiscent of a small lake. The Oregon thinclads hit the field and followed Hayward’s instruc tions of the day, “Run four separate quarter miles at a fast clip, then finish off with a good half mile.” No Times Taken No times were taken or accurate pacing set for a specified lap as the sloppy conditions prevented any semblance of a true speed workout —the elements were almost too much for any running. Last Friday afternoon the track mentor sent all aspirants for the cross country team through a three mile run in an effort to determine the men that would be sent to Seat tle. Again the elements hindered any outstanding performances as the runners had to fight their way through the quagmire of mud on the football scrimmage field. Stapleton First Hugh Stapleton finished first in tiie long haul in the comparatively good time of 16 minutes and 31 sec onds. Stapleton had plenty left at the finish, an indication that he could have covered another mile, which all the harriers will have to do Thursday. Today the men are scheduled for a repeat performance of yesterday’s speed and endurance workouts in Hayward’s final effort to get them into top condition. John Warren will accompany the men to Seattle. plays that found Oregon's defen sive setmp unable to do anything but make it tough on the way. This the Ducks did —but Oregon State’s Ken Carpenter lunged over from the two-yard line to end the day’s scoring. Simas missed his try for extra point. Now that football togs have been stored away for another year, bas ketball con^s into the limelight with the first pre-season varsity game scheduled for tomorrow night in McArthur court against the Gen eral Grocer’s quintet from Port land. The opening game might be called a battle between pre-war and post-war Oregon teams. Although the Grocers have a va riety of talent, their lineup will be predominantly former Oregon play ers. One of their tallest men will be Lloyd Jackson who played for Hob son in 1941 and 1942. Other former Oregon cagemen include Don Kirsch, Bob Newland, Rolph FUhr man, Quentin Sidesinger, and Chick Chechini. One of the key men on the Grocer quintet will be Keith Starr who played two years at Wis consin before the war. Webfoot Coach Howard Hobson has not announced a starting line up for the opening game, and it could be any five from the 20-man varsity he has been working with Six-foot eight-inch Roger Wiley will probably start at center, and will be backed up by Ken Hays and Bob Amacher in the reserve roles. Likely starters at the forward slot are Marv Rasmussen and Ed Dick —but Bob Wren, Bob Don, Dan Du cieh, Lynn Hamilton, Ty Lovelace, and Lyle Pettyjohn will also be in the race for a starting nod. At the driving guard position, Stan Williamson appears to be a strong contender. Dick Wilkins is a probable starter at the other guard slot. There are an abundance of guards on the squad and none of the above mentioned will be assured of CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR ALL THE FAMILY ♦ Toys ♦ Games ♦ Books ♦ Leather Goods ♦ Stationery ♦ Desk Sets ♦ Albums ♦ Playing Cards ♦ Candles ♦ Matches ♦ Napkins ♦ Desk Lamps ♦ Christmas Cards Monogramming Service VALLEY STATIONERY CO 76 West Broadway NOT THIS WEEKEND GANG!

The 11 lettermen on the squad have been the most consistent in practice, and if Hobson uses the aforementioned quintet, he will start all former lettermen. Ten pre-season games are sched uled for the Webfoot cagemen, in cluding two games in the East. This weekend Hobson takes his squad to Portland to meet the Uni versity of British Columbia team Friday and the second game with UBC will be played in Eugene Sat urday evening.

The Phi Psi juggernaut pushed over touchdowns in the first and sec ond quarters, and two in the fourth period. Working from a T-formation that amazingly enough didn’t bog down in the ankle deep mud, the Phi Psis held their opponents to three first downs, one on a long pass, and two from fifteen yard clipping penalties. Big Ab Wil son and Jack Puffenberger of ficiated in the game played be fore several hundred chilled spec tators. Easily the outstanding line man of the afternoon was Rich Hopper’s brilliant play as guard for the Phi Psis. Lou “Rocky” Robinson, who played 57 minutes of the ball game, called signals, plunged over for one touchdown, quick-kicked four times, and ^ passed to Duncan for the third tally stood out among the backs. The intramural all-star touch football team will be announced in the final issue of the Emerald this term. jgggSBBgwr JUST THE SPOT for Delicious Hamburgers sizzling from the frying pan and MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH PIES FROM DAVE’S PIE SHOP HAL'S HAMBURGER HUT 112S Alder—Around the corner from the Mayflower SHOP EARLY Come in and see our new stock of everything in LEATHER GOODS For Christmas Men Women •—Billfolds —Writing Folios —Shaving Kits —Cigarette Cases —Luggage— Preston & Hales S57 Willamette Phone 665
