DUCK TRACKS
By CHARLES PETERSON
Emerald Sports Writer *
Je flames of controversy which at one time Hared over the
ive merits of Pacific Coast Conference football and that
fed elsewhere in the 48 (or is it 50?) may get another fan
(soon. There wasn’t much to argue about after the OSC
iigan State game last week, but with three of the pre-sea
javorites moving into action against eastern and midwest

a-a and USC kick olf this* weekend’s intersectional bill of
faglwith a Friday night tussle in Los Angeles. On Saturday,
Iiington will play host to the Minnesota Gophers in what
s up as the more evenly-matched contest of the two. The
ies and Minnesota are both picked to wind up near the
of their respective circuits, though neither are being
serious consideration at this stage for Rose Bowl berths;

; Dame. Oregon won’t be getting into the act until No
er 18 when the Ducks journey to the Rockies to meet Col
;o. That same day will see Stanford’s Indians engaging
at Palo Alto in what may well be the Pacific Coast’s
of the year. The Stanfords are the number one choice of
per cent of the so-called experts to carry tho conference
er into the Rose Bowl on New Years Day—a duhious
r in recent years—while the Army is still the Army. Need
ay more? Corning the week before the traditionally tough
lame with Cal, this one could have a serious effect on the
[ans’ title aspirations. The last time they skirmished with
uture generals, back in ’48, they were mauled to such an
lit that it was late the next season before they again reach
]> strength.
Bears After Record
tting back close to home, any hopes that the Cal Bears
stub their toes%on the Ducks this Saturday while looking
d to their get-together with Penn a week hence are prob
premature. Reason: Pappy Waldorf’s charges will be out
rite a new record for consecutive Pacific Coast conference
iries into the books. The existing mark of 17, which Cal
by beating Stanford last season, was hung up in the early
’s by the USC powerhouse of that era. It was also El Tro
who gave the Bears their last conference licking, a 39-13
ing in October of 1947.
cidentally, by virtue of their victory over Santa Clara last
Hurday and by getting into action a week ahead of many of
l^top ranked clubs, California is being rated at or near the
n the national rankings. Paul B. Williamson, who includes
teams which have already played, has the Bears first on
ist followed by Kentucky, Southern Methodist, Michigan
e and Tennessee. The United Press football coaches rat
board, which ranks teams whether they’ve seen action or
moved Cal from 17th place to 10th.

Somebody Noticed
pre-season predictions; a pair of the country’s top sports
ters tabbed Oregon placekick artist Chet Daniels as a likely
lidate for all-star honors at the close of the season. The
bes were Bill Stern, writing in Sport, and Fred Russell, who
bis prognosticating for the Saturday Evening Post. Besides
Mels, Russell singled out Earl Stelle as one of the coast’s
packs and end Jake Williams as one of the most promising
lomores.
In interesting feature in connection with the Cal-Oregon
pie is that the rival coaches had almost exactly opposite
Jacement problems when the 1950 season opened. Last
\s Bear line was wiped out from tackle to tackle, the very
Jts where the Ducks had the most holdovers. On the other
Id, Jim Monachino came back to head a veteran Cal back
fl while Jim Aiken’s task of building a successful combina
for Oregon has been a tough one.
■*? i j u i c k glance at the dope book put out by the Cal Athletic
' s Bureau provides fodder aplenty for the adding machine
|d. Not possessing one ourselves, we’ll pass along a few sta
les for what they’re worth.
jfonachino is again the dominant personality in the field,
talented left half, who, incidentally, spent most of last sea
at the right half post, paced all Cal ground gainers with a
^|°f 781 yards from scrimmage. That’s almost eight times up
| down the gridiron which is some runnin’ in any league. He
p also on the receiving end of eight passes for a combined
i of 190 yards.
- he Bear roster also produced some facts which are probably
ing rival coaches cold sweats when they think of years to
ae. To wit, out of a roster of 92 men, 73 are sophomores or
iors. If more need be said, you can say it, ’cause that’s all
ii here.
Shooting Men

Men will be asked to wear suit
jackets, shirts, and ties (no bow
ties). Women’s houses are request
