DUCK TRACKS
By GLENN GILLESPIE
Co-Sports Editor
Today is the day football players all over the nation do their
best to foul up the boys who make weekly predictions. And we,
in turn, will do our best to foretell what will happen on eleven
college gridirons this afternoon.
Last week's excursion into the forecaster's territory resulted
in six right out of seven selections, and we'll be thankful if the
same thing happens this week.
Let’s see which teams will be
safe bets:
OREGON vs. MICHI
GAN—This is naturally the
big game in our book, al
though it’s difficult to make
a selection when your own
school’s playing. Gene Derri
cotte will not play for the
Wolverines, but he wasn’t
that good. Michigan by one
close touchdown, and we
hope this will be one we’ll
lose.
FRANK ZAZULA
OREGON ST,ATE vs.
WASHINGTON — This one
should be close as any, but Lon Stiner's unsubsidized Aggies
should come out on top. Washington had a rough day last week
against Minnesota, and OSC faired even worse against SC, sc
where are we? Huskies could easily surprise.
Stanford, Trojans Should Win Today
WASHINGTON STATE vs. STANFORD — Marchie
Schwartz’s ball club can really key up for a big game, as they
did last week against the Ducks. Even though the game’s at Pull
man, we’ll stay with the Indians.
USC vs. OHIO STATE—The big boys with the big money
insist that the Buckeyes from the Big Nine will defeat the men
of Troy. Can’t see it, really, so it’s Southern Cal in a very close
contest. There goes our average!
IDA vs. UCLA—The Bruins surely have a better team than
last week’s statistics against Northwestern show, but you can’t
be sure. Even though Uclan Halfback Skip Rowland is sidelined
with a knee injury, Bert La Brucherie’s Bruins should whip the
Vandals. Game’s at the Coliseum.
California Plays Seven Home Games
CALIFORNIA vs. ST. MARY’S—Cal’s Golden Bears play
still another non-conference game today at Berkeley, against a
small St. Mary’s sejuad. The Bears will add another brick to their
Rose Bowl road. Did you know that Cal plays seven out of their
ten games at home this season?
MONTANA vs. PACIFIC—Montana gets the nod in this
one to be played at Missoula. Don’t know much about Pacific’s
squad, but Montana has to win one sometime.
Those are the games the Pacific Coast Conference teams
play, and we’re not sure whether to stop there or not. A look at
the schedule tells us there’re a few mighty interesting games
left, so on we go.
NORTH CAROLINA vs. GEORGIA—Everybody likes to
follow Charley Justice and his teammates each week, and it looks
like a repeat performance. After what they did to a swift bunch
of Texans last Saturday, the Tar Heels are favored to win.
PURDUE vs. NORTHWESTERN—A number one game
in the Big Nine, this would be fun to watch. After losing by one
point to Notre Dame last Saturday, the Boilermakers will be on
the bounce. Purdue.
SOUTHERN METHODIST vs. TEXAS TECH—
Marty Bell’s ten first-class football players and Doak Walker
take on an underdog Tech squad at Dallas. SMU in a hurry.
TULANE vs. GEORGIA TECH—Supposed to be a big
game, but Tech’s Wreck should subdue Tulane. The Green
Wave surprised Alabama last week, but not this time.
Zazula to Watch Idaho-UCLA Contest
That makes 11 times we could get fooled, blit we’ll know the
worst by tonight. This forecasting business is really foolish, un
less your name happens to be Williamson. Duck Tracks may re
tire from the guessing game after today, depending on the aver
age we manage to accumulate ....
While Oregon’s Ducks are slugging it out with the Michigan
Wolverines this afternoon in Ann Arbor, the only member of
the Oregon grid coaching staff who won’t be there is Frank
Zazula. scout and backfield coach under Jim Aiken. Zazula will
be in the stands at the L. A. Coliseum, watching the Idaho
UCLA game. Dixie Howell’s Vandals are next on the list for
the Webfoots, the game scheduled next Saturday at Moscow.

The airlanes were jammed with
passes as the first week of intra
mural football action came to a
close yesterday afternoon.
Results of the day’s play: ATO
flattened Phi Sigma Kappa 2(^-0;
the Fizzeds edged out a stubborn
DU squad 7-6; Phi Kappa Psi an
nihilated Stitzer hall 31-0; Beta
Theta Pi blanked the Wesley
house team 15-0; Theta Chi hand
ed the Delts a 7-0 defeat; and the
Phi Delts annexed a forfeit vic
tory when Westminster house
failed to show up.
Alpha Tau Omega Wins
The ATOs showed the teamwork
that took them into the finals last
year as they hammered out an
easy 26-0 victory over Phi Sigma
Kappa. Walt McClure, ATO end,
started the scoring when he inter
cepted Phi Kap Don Cains’ pass
and ran 40 yards for a TD. The
conversion failed. McClure hauled
in a 30-yard aerial from Tailback
Ramsey Fendall to make the
score 12-0 at the half.
In the last half, two more Fen
dall passes, one to Frank Rauch
and the other to Lynn Hamilton,
were good for touchdowns. Both
conversions were good and the
final count read ATO 26, Phi Kaps
0. The superb kicking of Buddy
Leonard and the height advantage
of the rangy ATOs kept the Phi
Kaps bottled up in their own terri
tory all afternoon.
Fizzeds Over DU
In the best battle of the day, the
Fizzeds squeezed out a 7-G tri
umph over a rugged DU seven. Af
ter fighting three scoreless quar
ters, a pass from Tailback Curt
Butterfield to Bob Thompson put
the Fizzeds out in front. The con
version was good on a short pass
over center.
Then the DU lads came roaring
back to dominate the play and
drive 65 yards to pay dirt just as
the final horn sounded. However,
on the conversion, a flat pass from
Fred Van Horn to Guy Livingston
fell incomplete, leaving the final
score 7-6, Fizzeds favor.
Phi Psis Triumph
Phi Kappa Psi, with the help of
Cal Smith’s throwing arm, rolled
to an easy 31-0 win over an under
manned Stitzer hall team. Smith
unleashed a barrage of aerials, four
of which were good for touch
downs.
To add to Smith’s assault, Rich
Ward intercepted a Stitzer bullet
and ran 45 yards for a TD. Final
score, Phi Kappa Psi 31, Stitzer 0.
Betas Down Wesley
Beta Theta Pi, aided by the play
ing of Jack Doyle, rolled up a 15-0
score over Wesley house. Before
the game was five minutes old,
Doyle tuckey away a Wesley punt
and ran 50 yards to pay dirt.
Immediately after the half, he
stole a Wesley pass and romped
over for six more counters. The
conversion was good. A touchback
in the final quarter ended the
scoring.
Theta Chis Tip Delts
Theta Chi’s 7-0 victory over Del
ta Tau Delta was more decisive
than the score reveals, for in down
ing the Delts, they held them to
no first downs and completed 18
out of 26 pass attempts.
The Theta Chi touchdown came
on a quick opening pass from Tail
back Bill Hutchinson to Roger
Mockford late in the first half. An
other Hutchinson pass to Ken See
borg that was good for a TD was
called back on a penalty. The Delts
line was hard charging but their
pass defense was weak.
