tf'ioA.U jHaokuMf l<vi .500 Seadosi . . . Duckling-Rook Battle Flares Today Oregon Injuries Give Up-Staters Pre-Game Edge By DICK MASE Oregon’s Frosh football squad moves into the limelight again to day as it tackles its arch-foes, the Oregon State Rooks, in a 2 p.m, scramble slated for the lower prac tice field. Today’s tilt is the finale for the Ducklings and the empha sis will be on revenge for their early-season loss to the same Staters. Coach Carl Heldt’s hopes for evening the count with the Rooks received a double-dosed setback when it became a certainty that Dick Maudlin and Jim Hanns are not available for today’s game. Left Half Maudlin, a rapidly im proving ball-carrier, suffered a dis located elbow during a scrimmage and Hanns, a valuable fullback and left halfback and a fine punt er, came up with a cut hand during the same drill session. Lost Last Week The Frosh have added impetus in that they were beaten by the Portland Babes last week by a 15-0 count.1' The Oregon State Rooks also! met defeat against Portland, dropping a 6-0 decision. Heldt’s herd was effective in throttling the Portland running game, but looked weak on pass defense. The Babes counted once on a pass and set up a second via a pass-interqeption. The Frosh_ finish with a .500 season if they dump the Baby Beavers today. They drop ped their curtain-raiser to the Kooks, 27-19; came back to sub due EOCE, 6-0; tied Washing ton’s touted Frosh, 7-7; -and dropped a 15-0 affair to the Portland Babes last Saturday. The Rooks will probably fill the air with aerials this afternoon, as the passing attack engineered by Left Half Walt Kelly was the big factor when they netted their first victory over the Frosh. Stelle at Quarter With Hanns and Maudlin unfit for action, it will probably be Earl Stelle at quarterback, Bob Moore and Dennis Sullivan, left and right half, respectfully, and John Par sons in the fullback role. In front of this backfield com bination will probably be Dick Mobley and Doug Coghill,veteran end regulars; Bill Marker and Hank Cedros, tackles; Chet Har ris and Art Daniels, guards; and Dave Gibson rounding out the forward wall at his center spot. The Rooks are expected to coun ter with Mark Puddy at quarter, Walt Kelly and Duke Byers at the halves and Ron Barrit at full. The line will probably consist of Don Nibblett and Bill Dixon at the wing posts, Marvin Heater and Arvid Niemi at tackles, Bill Peden and Bill Marsters at guards, and Don Sandvig at center.

With Assistant Coach Don Kirsch in charge of the session, the 20 can didates each played the equivalent of a regular contest. At times the hoopers displayed a hot scoring punch, but generally the caliber of play showed much to be ironed out. The point-tallying was streaky, as the candidates missed good shots, and on occa sions, the scoring punch was lack ing completely. Wiley High Man ... me first 20-minute session, a unit composed of Jim Bartelt, Roger Wiley, Bob Amacher, Bob Lavey, and Stan Williamson de feated the team of Marv Rasmus sen, Archie Gacek, Bob Don, A1 Popick, and Reedy Berg by a 29 16 count. Wiley, with his wicked southpaw shot, plus a pair of time ly tip-ins, was high man with 12. Lavey bucketed three looping one handers for seven points, while both Gacek and Berg, on the losing team, scored five. The second scrimmage was 10 minutes with the unit of Don Kimball, Jerry Sherwood, Bob Charlton, Darrell Hawes, and Don Noel downing Bob Hamilton, Paul Cooper, Roger Mockford, Kenny Seeborg.and Dick Unis 10-8.Hawes was high man with five. Third Game, 33-22 The third round of games of 20 minute duration, saw the team of Gacek, Hamilton, Aacher, Lavey, Cooper, Seeborg and Unis defeat Bartelt, Rassmussen, Wiley, Pop ick. Williamson, and Berg 33-22. The final game, also 20 minutes, was a lopsided fray. The team of Hamilton, Don, Mockford, Seeborg, Unis, and Cooper overwhelmed Kimball, Sherwood, Charlton, Hawes, and Noel 44-13. No Gambler Influence at Nevada, Powers Say; Scribe Misquotes Aiken RENO, Nev., Nov. 14—(UP) —University of Nevada athletic officials claimed a moral victory Friday in the teapot tempest centering around a remark at tributed to Coach Jim Aiken of Oregon alleging that Reno gam bling interests influenced Neva da football activities. Aiken, who was head football coach for eight years at Ne vada, had been quoted by a San Francisco sports editor as say ing he left Nevada “following efforts of gamblers to cast an in fluence over Nevada football.” A reprint of the San Francisco column in a Reno newspaper created a furore locally. Letter Denies Report Friday, in a letter to Victor O. Schmidt, Pacific Coast confer ence commissioner, the Nevada board of athletic control denied Reno gambling interests had ever interfered—or even tried to— with university teams. Their letter read in part, part, “There has never been a single instance in which the gam bling interests of the state of Nevada have ever attempted to interfere with the administra tion of intercollegiate athletics (at Nevada) or influence any in dividual members of a team.” Upon arriving at Palo Alto, Aiken claimed he had been mis quoted by the sports writer. He told the United Press he agreed with Nevada Officials and said “If I ever gave out any such impression in any informal dis cussion I may have had, you can say definitely that what I said was misinterpreted. Players Not Cleared Aiken had also been quoted as saying that Nevada used “Three or four” players against Oregon who hadn’t been cleared through the PCC commissioner’s office. Nevada won the game 13-6. In its letter to Schmidt, the Nevada board said “The eligibil ity rules of the university are modeled after those of the PCC.” In reply to this, Aiken snapped in Palo Alto: “If they are modeled after them—they certainly are not lived up to. They did not send in a list of their eligible athletes to Commissioner Schmidt. I don’t think their officials have been too careful iti trying to live up to conference eligibility rules.” “Modeled After PCC” Nevada athletic officials an swered Aiken by saying that Ne vada modeled its rules after these of the PCC—but is not a member of the PCC. “Accordingly,” they said, “We are not required to send in a list of players to the commissioner’s office. We never have—we never even have been asked to.” Joe Sheeketski, the one-time Notre Dame blocking back who succeeded Aiken at Nevada, said he was too busy “figuring ways to beat Montana State Saturday to worry about all this Aiken business.” Fox TKOs LaMotta New York, Nov. 14—(UP)—. Billy Fox, the Philadelphia battler who is gunning for another shot at the light heavyweight cham pionship, handed tough Jake La motta of the Bronx the first knock out in his career tonight, winning, ir. the fourth round when referee. Frank Fullam stopped what had become a slaughter. Fox never got Lamotta down and in the records it will go as a technical KO—Fox’s 50th knock out in his 51 professional bouts. He was knocked out once himself—■ by Gus Lesnevich, the light heavy weight king. League Head Opposes Columbus, O., Nov. 14—(UP)—• Opposition to the Pacific Coast league’s proposal to be ranked above the other two top minor leagues was expressed today by Frank Lane, president of the American association, as all minor leagues prepared for their annual draft next Monday.
