DUCK TRACKS
By JOHN BARTON
Emerald Assistant Sports Editor
Three Oregon players have been listed by the United Press
as being possible candidates for All-American honors. The
names of Chet Daniels, Woodley Lewis, and Earl Stelle were put
1 on the wire last week by the UP as being likely All-American
■ - material— -
New Name for Woodley
All-the-way Woodley, as he is being called, should rate a
i berth on the coveted squad despite Oregon’s record this season.
mis title, All-tne-way YVood
| ley, will probably stick after
1 that punt runback of 91 yards
in Saturday’s Oregon State
game.
On that run, it was not a
case of having perfect down
field blocking and of simply
running full speed down the
middle of the field. Woodley
had trouble picking up the
ball, in the first place, and
once he got it he had three
Beavers on top of him. To
see Lewis elude those three
men was truly beautiful. JIM AIKEN
First he ran to his right, stopped sharply, ran again and cut
[f back to his left. He then scooted between two OSC men, the
' other one having run past him when he stopped. After that it
was fairly clear sailing, except that he had the rest of the OSC
team between himself and the goal.
At one time, when he scooted between the trvo Aggies, one
of them actually had ahold of him, but he pulled away with his
driving power. He collided with another Webfoot someplace
around his own 20, and nearly fell on his face. He teetered for
ward for almost 15 yards before he caught his stride and got fully
underway.
Speed, Speed, Speed
When he finally did get going, there were two Aggies and one
Oregon man running along with him toward the goal. The Ag
gies, of course, were trying to cut him off and the Oregon man
was trying to cut them off.
From that point, Woodley simply outran the rest of the play
ers on the field, including, pleasingly enough, the two men in
Orange and Black uniforms. ■ . - . — ....
A few observations jotted down during the game Saturday
only bear out what was abvious during the battle. This is that
OSC outfought, outdrove, and outplayed Oregon. The Beav
ers were possibly playing over their heads, we don’t know
about thaOThe Webfoots were playing their best, it was just
that Oregon State had more guns. The Aggies had a better
team, that’s all.
In some places, the Ducks looked better than they have all
year. On defense, for instance, the defensive halfbacks were com
ing up from their positions and making some beautiful stops be
hind the Aggie line.
Defense Hard on End Runs
Stelle, DeWayne Johnson, and Ray Karnofski were particu
larly noticable in this. Big Swede Johnson dropped Ken Carpen
45 ter so hard one time on this kind of play that we thought Car
penter would be down to stay.
For this reason, and a few others, the Aggies stuck mostly
to line bucks and off-tackle plays in their running attack, al
though a few optional-run plays paid off well.
Even the line-buck business wras stopped several times by the
stand-out work of Guard Ray Lung in the center of the line. One
sports writer in the press box stated after the game that, if he
were to pick an outstanding player for the game, Lung would be
the man.
Aiken to Stay
Rumors were floating about the campus yesterday that Web
foot Coach Jim Aiken was leaving, was being hired by another
school, was being thrown out on his ear* The basis for such ru
mors? We don’t know, but they are absolutely and completely
unfounded.
Jim Aiken is staying at Oregon. To use his words, his home
is here, his family is here, he likes it here, people here support
him, and he IS NOT LEAVING. These words, from Aiken’s
own fog-horn larynx, should kill all rumors about his place of
residence next fall.
Aiken will start building for next fall immediately. In the
backfield, as we see it, he will have Stell, Fell, Gibilisco, and
Missfeldt. At one end he will have Jake Williams to grab passes.
On defense he will have Dick Patrick and Dick Daugherty, and
those two, playng defense, are enough to make any coach stick
around for a few years.

Season Classic
CHICAGO — (UP) — California
and Ohio State, which battled in an
historic Hose Bowl game 29 years
ago, were named unanimously to
day to meet each other in the 1950
renewal o fthe classic at Pasadena,
Calif., on Jan. 2.
The perfect record Califor
nians who clinched the Pacific
Conference Championship b y
beating Stanford last Saturday
will be making their second con
secutive appearance in the Rose
Bowl. Ohio State, beaten once
and tied twice, landed a share of
the Big Ten Conference title by
tying Michigan.
But since Michigan, the team it
tied for the championship, was not
eligible to go again to the Rose
Bowl under the terms of the Big
Ten pact for the game, it was a
foregone conclusion that Ohio
State would get the call. It did,
unanimously, as soon as Kenneth L.
(Tug) Wilson, the Conference
Commissioner, was able to com
plete a telegraphic poll of the
member schools.
The only other Big Ten school
which had even a technical
chance was Minnesota which fin
ished in third place, half a game
behind the co-title holders. Min
nesota’s slim claim was based on
a victory over Ohio State, but the
Gophers in turn were up-ended
by Michigan.
The bowl picture in the Big Ten
was in a muddle until Ohio State in
winning Saturday scored a last
period touchdown to tie Michigan,
7 to 7. At that, it looked as if State
might lose out when its extra point
try was blocked. However, a Michi
gan lineman was detected offside
and the Staters got another chance
to kick the point. This time the kick
was good and they gained a tie
which was more important • than
any victory they had achieved all
season.
California, which has lost only
one conference game in three
seasons since Lynn Waldorf be
came its head coach, also had to
win Saturday to gain the bid.
But the victory settled the Pa
cific Championship and all
doubts about the Bears going to
the bowl were eliminated.
Ohio State, last Big Ten team to
play in the Rose Bowl before the
current five year agreement was
made, lost a 28 to 0 decision to Cal
ifornia at Pasadena in 1921. That
defeat prompted such criticism the
Big Ten voted then against future
participation in the classic.

wrote “Paradise Lost.” When his
wife died, he wrote “Paradise Re
gained.”
Indians Sold
VeeckRetires
CLEVELAND, O.— (UP) —The
Cleveland Indians were sold today
by President Bill Veeck for $2,200,
000 to a “syndicate of seven” Cleve
landers headed by insurance execu
tive Ellis Ryan as" stockholders’
suit was slapped on Veeck.
Ryan, the new president, signed
the purchase paper with Veeck in a
typical Veeck ceremony in the sta
dium—The House That Veeck Fill
ed—with dozens of flash bulbs pop
pings, cameras grinding and re
porters looking on.
Veeck said he was selling the lu
crative team because “I need the
money and a vacation.”
The suit, by minority stockhold
ers Jack Harris who made a futile
bid to buy Indians before Ryan,
was filed in common pleas court
asking for recovery of more than
$1,000,000 in behalf of all stock
holders of the Cleveland Baseball
Corp.
The action was aimed at Veeck
personally and did not affect the
sale of the Indians to the Ryan
group.
