/In V/mtcjzected' rUi>lita'i Ducks Scnmmaae Grounded Montana Club Oregon’s Webfoot gridders drew a surprise practice opponent Tues day when they scrimmaged against the Montana State University Grizzlies in a lengthy workout. The unscheduled visitors dropped into Eugene by air yesterday morn ing, after bad weather forced their plane down to wait for a break. THe Grizzlies were headed south for their Saturday game with the University of California, and Men tor Doug Fessenden requested Jim . Aiken’s permission to work out on the Oregon practite field. Aiken, ] playing the gracious host, went even further, and offered not only the use of the practice field, but also volunteered his own team as scrimmage opponents. Last time the Grizzlies were in town the visit was of a less pleasant nature, as the YVebfoots trampled them 34-0 in a game. That was last season, and the Montana club was then ranked the cream of their section of the country. This year the Staters blew into town as the “Inland Empire” champs, having upset Washington ..State ..two ..weeks ago, 13-12, and last Friday night defeated Idaho, 21-0. Fessenden’s fellows displayed a snappy passing attack in the work out yesterday, with quarterback Johnny Helding proving very sharp on spot passes just over the scrim mage line. Another standout in the backfield was fullback Dan Rada kovich, who although weighinng only 175 pounds, does a big share of the plunging duties. He showed up chiefly as a receiver for Held ing’s tosses, and proved hard to j tag after he got moving in the sec ondary. Although comparatively small in size the Grizzly forward wall proved to be a hard charging out fit, and on several occasions broke through the defense to smother Norm Van Brocklin’s pass attempts. But the Oregon quarterback still connected with machine-like regularity, to a va riety of receivers. Van Brocklin boosted his pass total yardage against the Cougars last Saturday in spite of the bad weather. His season’s record now stands at 61 completes out of 138 attempts for 803 yards. Dan Garza, sensational left end who scored both Oregon touchdowns Saturday, one on a pass catch, bolstered his record with three snags, for 17 this season and 335 yards. He moved up to second place in the Duck scoring column with 30 points. Jake Leicht leads the point-mak ing with 45. Leicht still is head man in the ground gaining department as he has romped 548 yards in 93 carries for an average of 5.56 yards per try. In second place is Bob Koch, Leather Merchant' Despite the muddy going Saturday against the Cougars Jake Leieht was able to pick up enough yardage as a ball-carrier to keep his place as the top Duck ground-gainer. Weather conditions of the tilt were so bad that third quarter action was virtually obscured when a minor snowstorm broke over the field. Teachers Unbeaten In 14 Tries Ashland, Ore., Nov. 11.— (UP) — Southern Oregon College's Raiders, unbeaten and untied in two sea sons of conference football, will try for their 15th consecutive vic tory next Saturday when they meet Chico State College of Cali fornia in Ashland. Coach A! Simpson’s squad liter ally has never been beaten. South ern Oregon College abandoned football in 1938 and did not re-1 fume it until 1940. Winning soon became a habit. Simpson, whose coaching ex perience included terms at Ash land and Medford high schools, rolled his fast, fly-weight squad out of a student body of 000. The team averages 180 pounds per man. The coach said he depended on speed, not trickery, to win foot ball games. He strongly defended a so-called “dead man play which gave the Raiders a 13-7 edge over • San Francisco State College last Saturday. It was reported San Francisco State planned to protest the play as illegal. -“There is no such thing as a protest after the game is played." j Simpson said. "San Francisco "!>s caught flat-footed all the way around.” I Chamber of Commerce Offers First Fight Card The first boxing card of the fall season will be presented by the Eugene Junior Chamber of Com merce tonight at the Armory, be ginning at 8:30 p.m. Some of the outstanding ama teur boxers of the northwest will clash in the four bouts. Four Eu gene clouters will square off (Please turn to page free) Youngsters Finish With Rook Battle By EL.YVIN PAXSON Carl Heldt’s frosh gridders will wind up the 1947 season Saturday when they face the OSC Rooks for the second time, at 2 p.m. on the Hayward practice field. The Ducklings will be gunning for revenge against the invaders as they attempt to break even in the won-lost column by annexing their second victory of the season against two losses and one tie. In their first battle with the Staters in the opening game of the year, the yearlings out-charged and out gained their burly foe, only to lose 27-19, because of an ineffectual pass defense. , Records show that the frosh have not copped a tilt from their traditional rivals since 1941, an ad ditional incentive to “beat the Ag gies’’ when the two clubs square off Saturday. The usual scrimmage with the varsity reserves was called off yes terday with the arrival of the Mon tana crew, and instead Heldt ran his charges through a stiff intra squad battle. Heldt said that of fense would be stressed during re maining workouts this week in an effort to increase the effectiveness of the Duckling attack before they tackle the rugged Rooks. The frosh lacked drive and polish in running their plays against Portland last week, and both passing and ground formations will be given special emphasis. There were no serious injuries sustained in the Portland clash and the yearling crew is expected to be in top condition, physically as well as mentally for Saturday’s wind-up battle. Coast Grid Briefs By UNITED PRESS CORVALLIS, Ore., Nov. 11—No Armistice day holiday was taken by the Oregon State College Bea vers who sloshed through scrim mage sessions to keep in trim for the coming Washington State Col lege encounter.

Cal., Nov. 11—The University of Washington Huskies, who came here after last Satur day's game with California instead . of returning to Seattle, today went through a spirited workout on the Riverside Junior College gridiron. The Huskies worked to develop their passing offense in which Larry Hatch does the hurl- j ing. The squad was in good shape aside from Bob Levenhagen, left; guard, who broke his arm last Sat urday. Dimitri Tadich replaced him in the line. MOSCOW, Ida., Nov. 11—Uni versity of Idaho gridders today en gaged in a stiff workout on tactics aimed at halting Utah’s powerful attack when the Vandals meet the Big Seven champions in Boise next Saturday. Coach Dixie Howell said Idaho’s running and passing offense would also receive a final polishing be fore the squad entrains for Boise Thursday evening. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11—UCLA Coach Bert LaBrucherie today an nounced left end Bill Hoyt, quar terback Ben Reiges and. left half Johnny Roesch as changes in the Bruins’ starting lineup for Satur day’s Washington game. We Girls Have Just Oodles of Thrills By BETH BASLER With this week ending the pre liminary eliminations in the girl’s volleyball league excitement ran high this afternoon, at the three games. Each team was cheered on by a larger-than-usual gallery. Far the best game of the day was that between the Susan Camp bell Sinners and the Kappa Kappa Gammas. The Sinners won by a score of 32-16,but the Kappas gave them some very good volleys. The carefully calculated overhand serves of Jane Hull were pretty to watch, as were the excellent set ups from the back row by Page Leard. Thelma Chaney led the scoring for the Sinners with seven points, and Barbara Richter -was outstanding for her spiked balls. In a complete run away the Del ta Gammas defeated the Alpha Chi Omegas by a score of 56-5. The unusual halftime score was 31-1, just 1. Barbara Borrevik sent the ball whizzing down on the Alpha Chi side time after time. High scorers for Delta Gamma were Sally Beach with 11 and Martha Piper with 12 encounters. In spite of the lopsided game both teams seemed to be having a lot of fun. Alpha Gamma Delta bowed to Highland house 24-19. Robbie Mul key is a natural athlete for the Highland team and is outstanding for both her spikes -and serves. Hazel Peterson also turned in a very good game. The _antics of di minutive Joyce Bailey of Alpha Gamma Delta were certainly fun to watch.
