m daily 5 EMERALD DUCK TRACKS By DAVE TAYLOR Two of the hottest statistical outfits in the PCC will clash when the Oregon Ducks venture down to Strawberry Canyon this Saturday for their fray with the bowl minded Golden Bears of California. Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf's aggregation has rolled over eight straight opponents so far this year to have the inside track to Pasadena. In so doing, the Bears have racked up a neat 378.6 net yards a game average to lead the Coast Conference in total offense. On defense the gilded Bruins have dominated the play so well that their ene mies have penetrated them for a mere 232.9 yard per game fig ure. The Ducks, on the other hand, have the fourth best offense on the coast and a terrific scoring attack. Oregon 1949 team has broken the previous total scor ing for a season with two games remaining to be played. Top ping this off and surprising as it may seem after the Washing ton game, the Ducks are second in total defense among the teams in the PCC. Their record on defense of 248.5 yards relin quished per game is only bested bv the Bears. LYNN WALDORF Individually, the Ducks are a great outfit with several men having strong claims on all-coast recognition. Bob Sanders, \\ oodley Lewis, Johnny McKay, George Bell, and Bill Fell all will rate some mention. From the line Sam Nevills, Ed Chrobot, Steve Dotur, and Chet Daniels are names that will be knocked back and forth when the polling starts. Defensive Line Must Stop Celeri How the Ducks will fare against the Waldorf warriors is any one’s guess. They want this game more than many that they’ve played. If they can dump the Bears off their unbeaten limb, that fact ah^ne would prove this year’s organization ranks among the greatest to represent the University. However, that defensive line of Oregon will have its work cut out for it Saturday. Stop ping a man named Bob Celeri is a big order that must be filled if the Ducks want to avoid four straight setbacks. * * * To get both sides of the question of the fortunes of the Ore gon football squad, the following letter in answer to Kirk Braun’s comments in yesterday’s Emerald is printed. OREGON FOOTBALL PLAYERS—This is a letter to you! I intend this as a supplement to Mr. Braun's letter to you in yesterday’s paper. In my opinion there was something he over looked and something that is very important in the makeup of # any football team. In our case THE EIRE IS LACKING AND THE WILL TO WIN IS NOT PRESENT. I don’t deny we have a great football team here at Oregon or that each man is somewhat a perfectionist in his position. The drive is present and no man fails to run at his top speed in the execution of a play or to throw blocks and tackles when called upon to do so. But what has become of the DESIRE to make that block, tackle or touchdown??? After making a perfect block (what you have been ably coached to do) do you feel that your job is done? After making a fair attempt to tackle an opponent do you feel you have done your share ? Do you wonder why the students do not raise a cheer on high when you have played a ‘perfect' game of football yet lost? The answer should be plain by now. Team fire and the will to win is analogous to student spirit—You lack the former. You have been successfully coached in your positions, you have demonstrated that you are next to perfectionalists in these positions. Now the job is yours. You can not be coached in this .department. You must not do your job and walk off the field knowing that you did this job to perfection. Get excited in a game. Do something that will carry this great Oregon team we have on to victory rather than having this great Ore gon team go down in defeat. You have all the capabilities. Can you exert this extra effort in these next two games? We’ll know by Saturday night whether we have a team of perfection or a fighting team of perfection. This is soniething you can develop—Can you ????? Name withheld by request. BERKELEY—(UP)—The University of California worked out on Edwards field yesterday. The track field has a firmer turf than the regular practice area in the drizzling rain. Star quarterback Bob Celeri was in a sweatsuit and favored his injured leg. It was doubtful that he will see action in the Ore gon game here Saturday. L Conference Teams Readying For Weekend Gridiron Battles SEATTLE—(UP)—The Univer sity of Washington Huskies drilled under lights for the second time last night, concentrating on offen se, as they prepared to meet UCLA in Los Angeles Saturday. The Huskies, in good physical shape, will depart for the South by airplane tomorrow morning. rULLMAN, Wash. — It was back to work with a vengeance for the Washington State Coug ars yesterday after a two-day lay off. Coach Phil Sarboe sent his team through a rough offensive and defensive drill in the field house followed by defensive ma neuvers to be used against Wash ington’s vaunted aerial attack a week from Saturday. The Coug» ars draw a bye this week. MOSCOW, Ida. — Coach Dixie Howell said today he doesn’t expect his University of Idaho football team to beat Stanford Saturday. “But we’ll throw everything we've got into that game.” Howell said he will resort most ly to his running attack against the Indians. Despite eight men on the injury list, the full Idaho squad of 35 will leave Friday morning by plane for Palo Alto. CORVALLIS — Oregon State College’s football squad continu ed their “easy” workouts yester day for Saturday’s Portland con test against Michigan State Col lege. The Beavers and Spartans use the same style of offense. Top threat to OSC will be the passing of Gene Glick and the running of Lynn Chandnois. PALO ALTO—A dark, cold and wet day gave Stanford’s cripples a chance to forego contact work to day in preparation for their game Saturday with Idaho. Halfback Bob White returned to the practice session but wore no pads. * our Key men in uregons DaCK field, George Bell, Woodley Lewis, Johnny McKay, and Bob Sanders have only two more games to play for Oregon.
