DUCK TRACKS By DICK CRAMER Assistant Sports Editor Oregon will run into a mighty potent team this coming Sat urday when the Webfoots tangle with Oregon State on Bell 1*ield. I he fact that the game is in Corvallis is more important than just the home field angle for the Beavers. Oregon has only won one game at Corvallis since Lon Stiner took over in 1933. The all-time record between the two teams goes to Oregon urn. me vv cDioois nave only won five of fourteen since the “purity man” took over as headman for the Beavers. The only game the Ducks ev er took away from Stiner on his home grounds was back in 1940 w h e n Len Isberg’s “mud horses” sloshed and slid to a 20-0 win over the favored Orange. The Webfoots have chalked up wins in Eugene in 1935 and 1947 and two more in Multnomah Stadium, in 1933 and 1934. EON ST1NEK Mikulak Led Ducks to '33 Win In-a rundown of the games beginning in 1933, the Beavers have been more successful. In 1933, All-American Mike Miku lak led the Ducks to a 13-3 win in Portland, the big fullback dominating the action. The next year Mikulak’s successor at fullback, Frank Michek paced the Webfoots to a 9-6 win, also in Portland. Oregon made it three straight over Stiner’s boys with an upset win in 1935, by a 13-0 margin. But then the Beavers be gan to roll. In 1936, it was OSC 18-0. In ’37 and ’38 the Orange chalk ed up 14-0 wins. The clash in 1939 was wild but the Corvallis crew came out in front 19-14. The 20-0 win in 1940 broke a four game losing streak to the Beavers, but it was the last game the Ducks took from OSC until Jim Aiken’s team brought home the bacon last year. Beavers Batter Ducks in Bowl Bid In 1941, the Orange was Rose Bowl bound, and finally got over their last obstacle, Oregon, 12-7 on Hayward Field. The Ducks, led by Curt Meachem and Tommy Roblin, led 7-6 until a 24-yard scoring dash by fullback Joe Day gave the. Beavers the game and the right to the Rose Bowl. It was a different story in 1942. The Ducks rolled up to Corvallis a slight favorite, only to run into an OSC team that could do no wrong. ..The Beavers poured through, around and above the Webfoots to garner a 39-2 triumph. The war ended hostilities until 1945, but the Beavers took two games that year, 19-6 and 13-12. Jake Leicht starred for Oregon in both tilts, but he was the whole team. Two years ago the Beavers treated Tex Oliver’s last Ore gon team to a 13-0 defeat in Corvallis to stretch the OSC win streak to five straight, the longest win skein for either school since the series started back in 1894. And last year the Web foots bounced the Orange 14-6 on Hayward Field in a well-de served win. OSC Has High-Scoring Eleven Who will win this year? It will probably be Oregon, but don't underestimate the Beaver. This is one game OSC has been pointing for all year. They cail»score and score plenty and have been taking it easy for the last three of four games, readying themselves for- Saturday’s clash. The Beavers have rolled up 28, 21, 26, and 20 points in their last four games, a pretty good average. True, they have only won one, tied two and lost one in those four games, but their scoring punch is undeniable. Always hard fighters on Bell Field, OSC will be “up" high for this game. They have had an erratic season so far, but can be expected to be fired and come out Saturday afternoon very upset conscious. They have a good line and a fine backfield. Don Samuel, the highly-rated right half, will be out to make up for his bad afternoon against Utah. When he’s on he is very dangerous. Ken Carpenter is a dangerous runner at left half, and his passing ability is shown by his pass completion average, .633, far and away the best on the Coast. Dick Gray is a good re serve to spell Carpenter, though not as capable a passer. Fulback Dick Twenge, already a regular for two years, is in the best shape of his career, weighing in at 187. Fast and tricky for his size, Twenge is the power man in the Beavers single wing. He can also pass, if the occasion arises. "T Two Aggie Receivers BEAV EK PASS-CATCHERS Bob Gvove, left, and Rudy Ruppe, right, will be on the receiving end of OSC optional pass-runs this Saturday, when the Orangemen tangle with the Oregon Ducks in their annual “civil war” game.

While you wait, your ring will be cleaned and buffed-free! House of Diamonds Next to The MacDonald shot at the Rose Bowl, says that or paper, the Buckeyes “don’t ever belong on the same field witt them.” “But,” Fesler told a homecoming banquet last night, “there is some thing more to the game and that is attitude. Our team has that. Nc one can convince me that our boys don’t have a chance.” Varsity Downs Duckling Quint In Practice Go By DICK CRAMER The freshman basketball team came out of the "dust bowl” prac tice court in the men’s gym to take on the varsity squad in McArthur court yesterday afternoon and came close to winning two out of the three tilts. Vets Win First The first scrimmage was the only one where the Ducklings were outclassed by the varsity, the vet erans winning 25-9. The two chief reasons for the win were big pivot men Roger Wiley and speedy guard Paul Sowers. Wiley paced the scoring for the victors with 11 points and was a tower of strength under the boards. The 6-foot 8-inch veteran is in the best shape of his college career, and looks ready for a banner year. Sowers Cops Eight Sowers, who plays either guard or forward, dunked in eight tal lies apd was all over the floor. His ball handling was good and he helped to set up several plays. Top stars for the frosh were cen ter Clausen and guard Hunt with, four points each. Clausen and for ward Gilbert gave Wiley a bad time under boards. Korpela Paces Frosh Paced by Korpela, the Frosh roared back to almost win before beeing- nipped at the wire 17-16. Korpela, who had six points for the game, hit a bucket with a minute left to put the Yearlings out in front 16-15. Sowers bucket with. 30 seconds left was the margin of the varsity win. Neeley Sparks Victors Johnny Neeley led the winners with seven tallies with Sowers marking up four. The aforemen tioned Korpela’s six was high for the frosh, followed by Owen and Joyce with four each. The final tilt of the day saw the score tied at two, four, and six points before the varsity pulled, away to win 12-8. Only two players scored more than one bucket, Leroy Coleman for the winners and Che ney for the losers each tallying four points. I BEAT STATE! announcing me tinal tootbari prediction contest!
