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.

quarter when two consecutive plays
came within a whisker of being
successful. 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. Oregon State’s artist at
place-kicks, Warren Simas, toed
the extra point.

ber two on another sustained drive
in the fourth quarter. Using the
old-time Beaver power, the Orange
men moved 45 yards in a series of

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

Phi Psis Walk Over
Chi Psi Grid Eleven
24-0 in Beer Bowl 1
It was a badly beaten, bloody
crew of Chi Psis who trailed
wearily home after their 24-0
sheilaking at the hands of a pow -
erful' Phi Psi eleven in the annual
Beer Bowl contest Sunday. 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.
