Contact Session Sharpens
Webfoots for Husky Contest
Possible Quagmire
Might be Factor
In Conference Tilt
Contact scrimmage with pads
was Coach Jim Aiken’s pre
scription for the Oregon foot
hall team yesterday afternoon,
as the Ducks worked out on a
wet and sloppy practice field.
The third string varsity
scrimmaged with the Frosh
team, while the two first varsi
ty lines ran plays against each
other.
With November rains falling all
over the Northwest, there’s a good
chance that Saturday’s game with
the Washingeon Huskies will be
played on a muddy field.
Drilling for Mud
The Webfoots are drilling for
that possibility, with Quarterback
Norm Van Brocklin throwing a
wet ball in practice, and Oregon
runners going through their plays
on a muddy field.
This week’s game with the Husk
ies in Seattle will be well on the
home stretch in the 1948 Pacific
Coast Conference championship
race. Only three more games re
main on Oregon’s schedule, all away
from home.
Three Wins Necessary
Each game is becoming more
crucial, and the Ducks need wins
over Washington, UCLA, and Ore
gon State to finish the season un
defeated.
Aiken expects his team to be
sharper this week than it was in
the last game against St. Mary's,
and has planned a heavy practice
schedule until the team entrains
Thursday night for Seattle.
The game could develop into an
aerial battle, if weather permits,
since both teams use an offense
with many pass plays included.
Atise McCullough handles Husky
passing duty, while Van Brocklin
throws for the Ducks.
Ducklings to Meet OSC Here
Oregon’s Frosh gridsters will take the local sports spotlight this
weekend while the Ducks are on the road for their tiff with the Uni
versity of Washington outfit, meeting the Oregon State Kooks in
their only homo appearance of the season.
Coach Bill Bowerman’s Ducklings will be out to avenge the 34-14
lacing tended them by the Staters in a previous tilt at Corvallis. A
heavier State eleven outcharged the Ducklings in the previous en
gagement, but Bowerman is apparently relying on speed and finesse
to counterbalance the Kooks’ weight advantage.
Bowerman’s charges average slightly over 180 pounds in the line,
and are slill lighter in the backfield. Besides proficiency in the speed
department, the Ducklings also boast an effective passer in Jim
Calderwood, whose aerial performances have been responsible for
the two Frosh victories this season.
Norm's in Form
r
3.
NORM VAN BKOCKLIN Oregon’s ace quarterback, increased his
passing percentage last week against St. Mary’s, and expects to do
tin' same this Saturday in Seattle, when the Ducks play the Wash
ington Huskies.

Intramural volleyball moved sol
idly into its second week of action
as six teams notched wins in their
victory columns.
Results of the day’s play were:
Sigma Phi Epsilon downed the
Betas in two rounds; Pi Kappa Al
oha rolled over Lambda Chi Al
pha; the Dolts smothered the Legal
Eagles; SAE drubbed the Tekes;
Hunter hall dropped Cherney hall;
■■ind Sherry Ross was handed a for
feit win when the Yeomen failed
to appear at game time.
Sig Eps Sweep
In the Spee-Beta battle, the Sig
Eps took the opening game easily
by a 15-10 count. However, in the
■econd heat, the Betas boomed out
into the lead and it looked like they
had it cinched to send the contest
mto a third round. Then with the
ncoro, 11 to 4, Beta's favor, the Sig
Eps came to life, pushed the con
test into a duce game, and annexed
the second frame 16 to 14.
Delta Tau Delta's setup combin
ation of Pete Hill and Bob Kelirli
were too much for the unnder
manned Legal Eagle six as the
Delts took the two rounds 15-3 and
15-4.
Although the score was over
whelmingly in favor of Pi Kappa
Alpha, it had no soft touch de
feating Lambda Chi 15-2 and 15-9.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon never was
in danger as it downed Tau Kappa
Epsilon handily, 15-3 and 15-11.
In the only contest of the after
noon that was forced into three
rounds, a hot-and-cold Hunter hall
squad chalked up a win over Cher
ney hall six. Scores were 15-6, 14
16, and 15-1..
Brooks Biddle will captain Wash
ington at Seattle Saturday.

Odell to Leave Bed
For Saturday Fracas
Though he hasn’t seen his boys in varsity action \ et, \\ ash
ington’s Coach, Howie Odell, will be on the sidelines when the
Huskies clash with the University of Oregon this Saturda}.
Odell, ill since August, has been taking in the season so far
either from a hospital bed or his home. But Saturday he plans
to watch his hot-and-cold griclders battle the W ebfoots from the
Husky Bench.
The youthful head man was hired to try and bring Washing
ton grid fortunes out of the doldrums where they had fallen
under Ralph “Pest” Welch, who
last year could bring home only
three wins in nine games.
Odell so far, has left the handling
of the team up to Reg Root, line
coach, while he has been recovering
from his illness.
Using a unique form of the popu
lar “T” formation, Odell, who is
only 37 years old, built up a-.700
winning average at Yale. Under
his system, the halfbacks do the
bucking with the fullback the
speedster in the backfield.
Huskies Unpredictable
Under Root’s direction the Husk
ies have been a strictly up and down
club, but mostly down. With nine
teen lettermen in hand, they have
the nucleus for a strong team, but
have so far failed to live up to their
potentialities. Their most impres
sive game so far has been the solid
trouncing they gave an even more
up-and-down team, UCLA.
In Anse McCullough, Washing
ton has one of the highest-touted
passers on the Coast, but so far, he
hasn’t lived up to his press clippings
with any consistency. However,
when he is hot, he is very effective.
Kirby Paces Attack
At the halfbacks are Brooks Bid
dle, playing his fifth year of college
football, and 193-pound Marshall
Dallas, a two-year regular at full
back. Roland Kirby at fullback has
been the biggest ground-gainer for
the Huskies so far.
Washington grid followers have
proclaimed' since the begining of
the season that they had one of the
outstanding wingmen on the Coast
in Ernie Stein, a two-year veteran.
A 200-pound junior, Stein is rated
the best of the Husky ends.
Other outstanding linemen are
Doug Vickery and John Prechek,
top-ranking tackles, Alf Hemstad,
All-Coast guard in 1945, Bob Leven
hagen, All-Coast guard last year,
and Bill McGovern center in 1945
and now in his fifth year at Wash
ington.
This past weekend the not-so
Husky Huskies ran into a revital
ized Stanford eleven and came out
on the short end by a 20-point mar
gin.
Previously they had dropped the
nod to Minnesota, in the close sea
sonal opener, as well as to Wash
ington State and California. They
did, however, come through with
a tie against Oregon State.
