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

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. ‘

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

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. Three of her team

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).

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.
