f DUCK TRACKS By WALLY HUNTER Sports Editor One of the biggest worries confronting the Homecoming committee in charge of the “Win for Bill (Hayward)” game dedication is the possibility that the Colonel won’t be present. In spite of this plans are being made to carry out the program though he may be absent. Mor ale of the group jumped 100 percent yesterday when Hay ward informed committeeman A1 Pietschman that he would have to feel mighty rough be fore he would stay away. Ac cording to Al, this is one game venerable Bill wants to see. As the schedule now stands the ceremonies will begin fol lowing the Order of O march around Hayward field. After the Colonel is driven into, and probably around the stadium he is to alight from the car and PHIL, SORBOE walk to the center of the field where the actual dedication will be held. He is to make a brief speech before the game for the benefit of spectators . . . and incidentally the speech will be1 piped into the dressing rooms under the stands where the Oregon team will be assembled. Emerald and Oregana photographer Kirk Braun clipped a column .from the San Francisco Examiner while on the Palo Alto trip last week that is a prime example of a game fore caster calling the turn. The writer, named Harry Borda, picked Oregon to drop Stanford 20 to 7 . . . and the final was 21 to 6. . . he picked the Washington Staters to topple Ore gon State 14-13. . . and they did. . . he also figured that the Uclans would blast Washington 34-7 . . and they did. His average for the week on picking them was 97 percent. Weinmaster May Move to Fullback Down at'Westwood Coach George Dickerson has one of the hottest UCLA freshman teams in several years. According to news releases one of the finest frosh prospects is end Darrell Riggs, a lad who did his prep school battling for Medford high school .... Up at Seattle Coach Pest Welch is priming his Huskies for a last ditch battle against Phil Sorboe’s WSC Cougars. One ».af his desperation measures is moving tackle Arnie Weimaster back to his old post at fullback. In the 1946 .season Weinmaster.was touted as being 230 pounds of the best fullback-in the history of the Seattle school. Then a knee injury put him on the bench and the publicity blasts, died to a whisper. This season they brought him out of the mothballs and ban dages for- his-final season. . . only as a tackle. Now Welch is possibly going- to have him operate in the backfield again for at least one game. Incidentaly Sorboe’s gang of Cougars will go into the game on the: long end of the betting odds . . and if they win it will • he the first-time since *1930 that a WSC ball club managed to turn the trick at Seattle . . . Washington is losing 17 gridders by graduation this year, and that means that there’ll be a gap or two to plug before next fall rolls around at the Husky school. Oregon Loses Seven Coach; Jim Aiken will lose Pete Torchia, John Kauffman, Larry Stoeven, Jim Newquist, Bob Koch, Wayne Bartholemy, I and Jake Leicht. Some of those losses are bound to hurt a bit ... At Washington State, Sorboe.will lose tackle Tom Parry, end Fran Bocaka, guard John Godfrey, quarterback Tiz Miller fah'ft■•Chhdk Bravton. Arthur Boeschen, of the Santiam Lodge, sends word that he plans to release a. complete snow.and skiing' report on Hoo doo bowl and the Santiam pass area during the winter. He will pass the word to' tire Portland weather bureay and the bureau will in turn give it to the Associated and United Press wire service for the information of those interested. First report on conditions is scheduled for this coming week end. Boeschen further reports that the lodge is now open for the season. Meals are being served in the cafeteria and a supply of for rent equipment is on hand. The tow will go into opera tion as soon as there is enough snow. Up to November 11 there was a total of 11 inches and prospects for more were good. After some of the bigger football games this weekend bas ketball will begin to grab the center stage athletic spotlight. Tonight Washington will officially open the 1947-48 season against Western Washington college at Bellingham . . . Ore Ducks Set (Continued from page jour) battle, along with the three ball carrying aces. Oregon has been named the pre game favorite for the first time in many years. Dopesters are giving the Ducks a seven-point margin 'over their invading opponents. Still a major problem in the Ore gon offense is weather. Hopes are for a dry field, which would insure the Ducks full use of both their aerial attack and ground power. Rain has hampered the passing of fense considerably, and usually the team switches over to the potent ground machine when the going be- J comes too sloppy. ‘ IM Playoffs Eliminate Teams (Continued jrom page jour) dumped the Sammies in two con secutive tilts. Taking the first 15-9 and the second, 15-8 to notch their fourth win in five outings. The ini tial tilt was close during the early stages of the battle, but the Sigma Nus pulled out in front in the home stretch to win going away. The second game was even more of a walk-away. Delts Triumph The second lower-division tiff found the Delts and the Pi Kaps trading shots with the Delts com ing out on the long end of the pro ceedings earning a shot at the title by taking two out of three from their opponent, losing the first 10-15 and winninng the last two, 15-4 and 15-6. The eventual win ners seemingly got off on the wrong foot in the opener as they could do nothing right. However, in the later contests it was a dif ferent story. Chi Psi Victors Playing minus two men in the first game and one in the second, the Chi Psi grabbed two straight from the Sigma hallmen as they registered a 15-4 win in the initial tilts and a like score in the second. The battle marked the last ap pearance in volleyball play for the victory in the current season. As for the games themselves, the hall men offered little in the way of opposition for the fast-moving Chi Psis, as they flashed a brilliant net game to win handily. No Tickets Left No tickets of any kind will be available Saturday before the game, according to Art Litch man, athletic news director. Every ticket has been sold out for over two weeks. Twenty thousand fans are expected to see the traditional battle. Susie Sinners Cop IM Flag By BETH BASLEIt The sinners of Susan Campbell became the 1947 girls' volleyball | champions yesterday afternoon: when they defeated the runner-up I team, University house, by a score; of 27-21. The Susie girls took the lead in the first moments of play and never lost it, although University pushed them all the way. The half ended with a score of 15-13, Susie’s favor. Harriet Minot and Virginia Thompson spiked ball after ball into the other court only to have Coralee Thomson, Pat Arnold, or Thelma Chaney send them right back. Susan Campbell has a hard team to beat in that there are no weak spots, they do not lose their heads,but play steady ball through out their games. A slightly weak back row slowed the University house team. High scorer for Susan Campbell was Thelma Chaney who chalked up 5 points.

Sports Staff: Don Fair Dick Mase Bob Reihart Glenn Gillespie Fred Taylor Wally Hunter By AL PIETSCHMAN A justice of the peace in a small1 town was called to perform his first marriage ceremony. The bash ful couple remained standing after he had finished the rites and in a brave attempt to round off the af fair he stammered: “It’s all over now. Go and sin no more!” (The preacher made a blunder,' but you never will have to worry; about making one if you get your gifts from CARL GREVE, Jeweler, ■ in Portland). (Pd Adv.) SPORTS: The center of atten-; tion this week is the Oregon-Ore gon State game. Down in the squad’s dressing room signs have > popped up all over with the cry, “Win for Bill,” “Beat the Beavers,” and such. Near the press clippings in the training room is a list of traditions signed by Jim Aiken. The list has been up all year and keynotes Jim’s football philosophy—it is so good it deserves to be put in print. Take a look at it and then you’ll under stand the change in Oregon foot ball : Traditions 1. We never use a water bucket;' we will have one for the opposing team. 2. We always run on or off the field during substitutions. 3. We never lie down on the field during time out. Rest one knee on the ground—it is as far as we go. We don’t want to look like a licked team. The only time we lie down: is when we can’t possibly get up. I will take a man out if he sprawls all over the field. We want hustlers on our ball club. 4. After an injury—if the doctor says you are OK—it will make the fans, your friends, and your fam ily feel a lot better if you trot over to the sidelines. Don’t let yourself be carried off the field if you can possibly get off under your own power. 5. Don’t throw off your head gear r and look like a high school player. Don’t be a grandstander. 6. Act like a real team and you will get the respect of the specta tors and your opponents. 7. Never loaf in practice. The coaches will yell at you to keep you moving. You can’t get into shape by walking. 8. We believe here at Oregon that if a varsity football player doesn’t get in good physical condition and keep that way, he is being unjust to his team mates and the school which he represents. 9. Don’t heckle the officials or your team mates. Play your own game. 10. At all times play hard, but clean. I want to be proud of you at all times. You are my team, WIN OR LOSE. James W. Aiken Football Coach
