DUCK TRACKS
By DON FAIR
Assistant Sports Editor
With the Oregon varsity eleven in Pullman today battling
the dangerous Washington State Cciugars, football-minded
students will nevertheless have their opportunity to witness
a grid game this afternoon at
2 p.m., when the Frosh tangle
with the Portland University
yearlings.
Today's contest will be held
on the so-called “Hayward
practice field," which is direct
ly south of Hayward field.
Temporary bleachers have
been erected along the sidelines
for use-by; Webfoot spectators.
Since few will be able to take
in the WSC game, this contest
in our own backyard should
warrant a good turnout of
rooters.
AL SIMPSON
Little Duck Coach Carl
Heldt has done a fine job with his material this season. His
team currently has a win, tie, and defeat in three starts. The
lone setback was at the hands of the Rooks, 27-19. But the
Frosh will have an opportunity to avenge this defeat next
Saturday, when they meet the Oregon State yearlings here in
a return bout.
Frosh Defeat EOCE
After the loss, Heldt's team bounced back to edge EOCE
6-0. and then battled the Washington Frosh to a 7-7 draw. The
Frosh forward wall has been hard to crack, and even Seattle
sportswriters were suprised at the way they outfought the
Huskie first-year team.
The Portland squad is also plenty tough this season. They
have a record of two wins in three games, including a 6-0
victory over the same Rook team which defeated the Duck
lings. The other triumph was 18-6 over Vanport college.
Lone Pilot loss was at the hands of SOCE 33-6, and this de
feat cannot be called disgraceful. The Southern Oregon eleven,
coached by A1 Simpson, is still unbeaten, and last year they
were one of the few unbeaten and untied clubs in the country.
Incidently, Ted Schopf, who coached jV and Frosh basketball
at Oregon last winter, is Simpson’s assistant.
Duckling Team Heavier.
In the forward wall ,the Frosh will have the edge on weight,
averaging 196 pounds to the Pilots 189. Also in the backfield,
the Oregon team will have more beef, sporting 178 pounds
against a 174 pound average for Portland.
Heldt's touted line is anchored by a pair of stickey-fingerad
ends, Doug Coghill and Dick Mobley. Both are good targets
for passes in the Frosh T-formation, and each man has a touch
down to his credit.
At tackles for the Frosh will be Hank Cedros and Bill Mar
ker. Cedros is listed at an even 200 pounds, while Marker is
the lighter of the two at 185. The guards are the strongholds
of the Duckling line, with 203-pound Chet Daniels and 210
pound Art Harris rated as play-wreckers. Dave Gibson, an
other rugged man at 198, holds down the center slot.
Key man in the offense in quarterback Earl Stelle. He is
comparatively light at 165, but is a good passer, and signal
caller. Hefty Jim Harms has been shifted to left half from full,
with Dennis Sullivan at the other wingmack. John Parsons, a
hard-hitting 180-pounder, will open at fullback.
Portland' Has Several Outsiders
Looking over the Portland starting lineup, it’s interesting to
note they have three men from Jersey City, Bill Connell, Phil
Pappalardo, and Bill Carroll; other outsiders are Jake Sweeney
from Vancouver, B.C.; Bill Smith of Butte Montana; and Babe
Costello of Plonolulu.
While speaking of frosh football, we might add that Billy
Sewell, Washington State football great of ’39-’41 is now
teaching the yearlings at his Cougar alma mater. Sewell
was a dynamite passer and kicker in his college days.
Backfield coach Frank Zazula, as is his custom every week
end. is off on another scouting venture today. This time he only
had a short jaunt to Portland where he will be scouting the
Oregon State-UCLA game. This is the game that the Aggies
have been pointing for all season. As they enter the game as
underdogs. Lon ’ Stiner's team should put up a pretty good
scrap. That 50-7 slaughter last year is mighty fresh in the
Beavers’ minds, and nothing would suit them more than to
dump the Westwood team.
Stanford, Oregon’s next opponent in a game to be played at
Palo Alto, November 15, meets Southern California on the
Trojan’s home field, and it looks like Marchie Schwartz’s
team will lose their eighth straight. Even at the rate the Indians
played last Saturday against Oregon State, it seems like a
hopeless task to overhaul the Pasadena-bound Trojans.

By UNITED PRESS
Oregon State and UCLA, trying
to match strides with the West’s
other major 1947 football powers,
today face a make-or-break eli
mination clash for the Rose Bowl
“semi-finals.”
Despite shabby records, the win
ner of their oaUie :.i the rain
splattered Pacific Northwest Sat
urday will retain a slim chance to
overtake Southern California for
the Coast title and a possible shot
at a post-season appearance New
Year’s day at Pasadena.
The Bruins of UCLA, the only
club conceded a remote chance to
polish off unbeaten USC, rated a
slight favorite to drop Oregon
State from the late-season scram
ble.
Beavers Good in Mud
But the Beavers, an outfit of
rugged operators in the mud, were
primed for an upset as the weather
continued wet and reports were
heard of • dissension and strife
among the UCLA team and coach
ing staff.
Each club has absorbed one lick
ing in Pacific Coast conference
play, while the Bruins fumbled
two intersectionals and OSC one.
Although neither appeared in the
same class as California, los V
only to USC, the possibility re
mained for a three-way champion
ship tie if the Trojans lose one of
their two remaining games.
Trojans Heavily Favored
Stanford is not figured to have
the ghost of a chance to stump
the Trojans tomorrow, however,
and only UCLA in their neigh
borly brawl November 22 seems
able to confuse the Rose Bowl is
sue by upsetting USC. The Trojans
are four-touchdown favorites to
push Stanford.
Coach Lynn Waldorf’s “wonder
team” from California meets
Washington, a Vastly-improvedi
eleven which Waldorf said he
“feared” could dump the Golden
Bears. But the Bears were rated
14 points better by most obser
vers.
Oregon, another team beaten
only once in conference play, but
not much of a contender, takes
on Washington State at Pull
man in the other league contest
Saturday.

halfback, will display his wares

Whoa! Idaho,
Nevada Upset

Montana university’s Grizzlies,
scarcely bothered by a freezing
rain and slippery turf, battled
through mud to a 21 to 0 victory
over Idaho today in their annual
“Little Brown Stein” game.
The victory in the traditional
battle between the two “orphans”
of the Pacific Coast conference
left Montana in the unaccustomed
circumstance of being undefeated
in both its conference games this
season.
University of Detroit, the na
tions number two ground gainer,
ripped Nevada’s 219-pound line to
shreds tonight to slam down the
heavily favored Wolfpack, 38 to 6.
Riding the crest of six victories
in seven starts, the vaunted west
erners were scheduled to win by at
least two touchdowns. But the pre
game guessing went haywire as the
pile-driving Titans ran, passed, and
capitalized on breaks to hand Ne
vada its worst defeat of the season.
The Aztecs were the most cil
ized race in North America in the
sixteenth century.

SPORTS: The Ducks left for
Pullman in fine style—but without
their ski equipment. Trainer Tom
Hughes was looking for a pair of
ski gloves yesterday but failed to
find any, so expects to freeze up
there. f4l*|
The ski weather is just around
the corner and everyone is thinking
about gettting their slats ready.
This year for ski equipment in Eu
gene it’s HENDERSHOTT’S
SPORTING GOODS. They have ev
erything for the skier, even for
Fred Zolezzi and Jordis Benke.
They have Northland, Splitkin,
Groswold, and Anderson & Thomp
son slats—a good selection for any
one.
WOMEN: Newest coat on the
campus is that of Phyllis Kohl
meier. Don Fair had to check the
shoulders to see how much padding
there was, but the bulk proved to
be another coat.
CAMPUS: Here is a plea from
Bob Schilling. He lost the set out
‘of his diamond ring and is sweat
ing out its return by someone.
There is a $25 reward if you find it
call 940.
FASHIONS: This time of the
year calls for wool shirts and rain
jackets. The place to get yours i3
at MEN’S TOGGERY, 40 E. Broad
way. If you haven’t seen the new
shop, drop down and meet the two
partners.
CAMPUS: Dr. Wright had the
entire European history classe in
stitches yesterday. He explained
that November 7 was a red-letter
day for the Communists and that
they were supposed to wear red
ties on that day. Yes, Dr. Wright
had on a red tie. And what a tie!
....HEARD: “Is he a craf! Listen
you could put that guy on a desert
island with Lana Turner—and he’d
find something to squak about.”
If you want a treat, and who
doesn’t now and then, drop into the
SPUDNUT SHOP where you can
get flavorful coffee and sink your
teeth into the delicious spudnuts.
Ummm
CAMPUS: One of the biggest
events on the campus during the
past week has been the distribu
tion of Chesterfield cigarettes to
students by Mr. ABC.
When Mr. ABC stops you and you
have a pack of Chesterfields you
get a pack and if you are smoking
that brand you get two packs. He’s
SPORTS: Volleyball is getting
into full swing, and take it from
Anita Jackson—she is a top play
er. At least that is what she told
us during an eight o’clock—or was
it too early to think clearly, Anita ?
