IM All-Star Football Squad Selected Volleyball Competition Moves into Second Day Kappa Sigma battled its way to victory over Pi Kappa Phi in the second day of intramural volley ball competition yesterday, turning out a pair of 15-10 triumphs. Alpha Tau Omega made short work of Wesley house, which had only three men in the lineup. The quick disposal was accomplished in 15-0 and 15-2 fashion. The Phi Gamma Delta sextet scored a decisive victory over Nestor hall. The first game was 15-6 and the second 15-5. Easily the outstanding contest of the day was the Minturn, Theta Chi battle, and it was a battle all the way. Santos Shines Louie Santos, who made the IM all-star football team, looked like he might repeat in volleyball as he time and again smashed Kihei Brown’s setups to the ground with dazzling force. The Theta Chis were no push overs, both games going to Min turn by a 15-12 count. Delta Upsilon smothered Phi Kappa Sigma 15-3 and 15-1. DUCK TRACKS By GLENN GILLESPIE Emerald Sports Editor With only two yards gained in one try against Washington State, Johnny McKay, Oregon left halfback, remained on top of team rushing statistics released this week. Only seven yards separate the first and second men in the rushing column. McKay is first with 387 yards gained in 57 carries, for a 6.8 per-try average. Right half George Bell is in second place with 380 net yards in 90 carries, a 4.2 average. Woodley Lewis moved into third position with his 103 net yards gained against WSC. The Duck speedster has 258 yards 1 gained in 48 tries, for a 5.4 av erage. Fullback Bon Sanders j dipped into fourth place in rush- j ing- figures, with 227 net yards ; gained in 55 times carried, a 4.1 { per-carry average.

Van Brockliris Percentage on Rise Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin increased his passing per centage against the Cougars, and has a total of 45 completions in 88 attempts for 653 yards gained. His completion percetange stands at .511. End Dick Wilkins moved into the lead in the pass receiv ing column, with five catches in the Washington State game. In six games, he has received 13 aerials for three touchdowns and 256 yards. Dan Garza has caught 11 passes £or 129 yards and one touchdown. Saturday’s game with the St. Mary’s Gaels makes the final home game for ten Webfoot senior footballers, and seven of the ten are first-stringers either on offense or defense. Jim Aiken, Jr., Wayne Bartholemy, Jim Berwick, Keith DeCourcey, Brad Ecklund, Dan Garza, Ben Holcomb, Don Stanton, Dick Wilkins, and Win Wright are the ten who make their final Eugene appearance this week. Although ten men aren’t too many to lose, Coach Jim Aik en has a job ahead to replace them. Seven of them, as we said, are key men, while the other three, Aiken, DeCourcey, and Wright, see plenty of action. One very encouraging thing about 1949 Oregon football is that Aiken will have his same four backfield runners—Bell, Lewis, McKay, and Sanders—back next year, in addition to his great quarterback, Van Brocklin. Two fine ends and several rugged defensive players won’t be here . . . but next year’s football season is quite a way in the future right now . . . PCC Gridders Featured in 'Sport' “Sport” magazine, in the Ndvember issue, has introduced an interesting feature section on college football which is worth looking over. Entitled the “College Football Round up”, the section includes stories and pictures of important college football players from coast to coast. Pacific Coast players featured include Van Brocklin of Ore gon. Bob Hendren of USC, and Jackie Jensen and Rod Franz of California. The article on Van Brocklin was written by L. H.

Both teams are heavy with repeaters.

Robkie Cuts Swarth Outstanding among the newcom ers is Louis Santos, Minturn hall’s triple-threat back. At the start of the season Santos had the diffi cult task of filling the vacancy in the Minturn backfield left by di minutive Joe Tom, who is now playing varsity ball. He did the job so well that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the stocky, black haired lad playing with the big boys next year too. Had Santos been surrounded with better talent, Minturn hall could have been the surprise team of the season. Chuck Rufner, Chi Psi perrenial spark plug, passed and kicked his team into the playoff again this year to distinguish himself as the only player to be named to the first team three years in a row. It was Rufner’s punts that kept Chi Psi opponents playing deep in their own territory. Cool-Headed Master of the are of laying the leather in the laps of his pass re ceivers was little Bill Hutchison of Theta Chi. It was Hutchison’s sig nal calling and cool-headedness on the field that led them into the fi nals only to be overpowered by Sig ma Nu.

Fendall’s long aerials were consistent game winners for ATO. Kd Dick and Bud Herbert were Sigma Nu’s contribution to the all star team. Herbert, a tiger on de fense, was also responsible for the air tight protection given to pas ser Hog Dick while Big Ed was on the receiving end on those very passes. Running mates to Herbert are Bill Hanna, squatty guard of the Phi Delts and Ellery Ferson, SAE cornerstone. Ferson’s tremendous strength in line play earned him the title “Humphrey Pennyworth” with his teammates. Hanna and Person, tied for one of the guard spots in the lineuup. Chuck Strader, the scoring end of the Rufenr to Strader pass combo, was considered by opponents to be the hardest man to cover on pass defense. He was particularly ef fective at snagging passes on the Chi Psi weak side pass plays. ARounding out the first team is Moe Thomas, ATO snapper back. He barely edged out teammate Frank Rauch to annex the top cen ter spot. Sigma Nu led all teams with five men on both squads while ATO was second with three. SAE, Chi Psi, and Theta Chi each had two while the rest of the teams only placed a single player. Hoopsters in First Scrimmage Taking a trick from Jim Aiken, John Warren sent the Webfoot hoop team through an extensive scrimmage session yesterday, the first of the season. After going through the usual Warren warmups, the squad was split into groups of ten each, and took turns going through full dress scrimmages among themselves. They were short, around ten minutes each since it is early in the year. No score was kept, but several players looked good. Roger Wiley performed well under the boards, as he starts his fourth varsity sea I son. Others who looked good were Jim Bocchi, Jerry Switzer, Bob | Lavey, Bob Don, and Kenny Seeborg. for fhe BOLD LOOK New widespread Van Bold with “Comfort Contour” collar.
