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.

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.
