| DUCKTRACKS | By CHARLES PETERSON Emerald Sports Writer While definitely not up to their Rose Bowl team standards of the last two years, California’s Bears nevertheless served notice Saturday that they won’t be dethroned without a struggle. As the campaign wears on, Lynn Waldorf’s charges are bound to improve over their performance which disappointed, though .hardly surprised, the faithful who gathered in Multnomah. With the apparent wealth of big, fast talent available to the Golden Staters, they could hardly do otherwise. Bears Had Punch More than any other factor, Cal’s ability" to capitalize on the Ducks’ miseries spelled victory for the visitors. This is one of the prime attributes of any championship contender, and the Bears showed that they know where to be when opportunity knocks. .’What they would come up with if faced with an opponent who didn’t make mistakes can only be surmised, since they were un able to promote a sustained offensive from deep within their own territory. It’s probably safe to assume, though, that Waldorf had a few cards up his sleeve which he chose not to play against the Wf'hfnnts Bear Hunting Again Turning our gaze towards the Ducks’ next foe, Montana, the situation there doesn’t look as cozy as it did before the week end. The Grizzlies were long a doormat for PCC elevens while a conference member, so much so, in fact, that they are now go ing their separate way. The history of their gridiron associations with Oregon is a happy one only if viewed from the local side of the ledger, since it shows a fopr out of four record for the Ducks. But, as we started to say, this season’s Montana crew may make Oregon work harder for its win than have past teams. The Griz zlies disposed of Idaho Saturday in a 28-27 thriller which was supposed to go the other way. The Vandals, by Coach Dixie HoweU'sipwn admission, are fielding the strongest outfit to come out of Moscow in recent years, which may be indicative of the caliber of Montana. At any rate, the Webfoots will be loaded for bear for the third straight weekend and their chances will be better than they were against either the Bruins of UCLA or Cal’s Bears. Wise Money Was Right Although they were treated rather rudely elsewhere across the country, the boys who lay the odds had their predictions come out almost on the nose in the Cal-Oregon clash. The betting gentry had the Bears on top by 20 points, which turned out to be one point shy of the Cal margin. Various and sundry sports writers contributed predictions which ranged from six points to five touchdowns in favor of Cal, which is a point in favor of the bookies. Bruins on Top Though it’s still too early, of course, to draw any concrete conclusions about the eventual outcome, the coast conference Ace has begun to take shape. UCLA, on the strength of its two opening victories over Oregon and WSC, is on top for the mo ment. Washington, Stanford, and USC, all of which have their supporters when the talk gets around to the 1950 conference championship, won’t see conference action until this Saturday, however. Washington, which gave the coast's prestige a shot in the arm by virtue of its convincing victory over Minnesota, en gages UCLA in Seattle in an important test for both teams. Stanford treks to Corvallis for a skirmish with the Beavers, whose opening loss to Michigan State takes on a different hue when viewed in the light of MSC’s victory over Michigan. USC also comes north to meet WSC at Pullman. Reflections Looking backwards again, there were a few things, which we saw on Multnomah’s turf Saturday which proved that there may be worse places from which to watch a football game than the fifth row in the end zone—as long as the field glasses are close at hand. For instance, there was the look of surprise on Cal quarterback Brent Ogden’s face as he was swarmed under from behind while trying to spot a receiver and the look of nonchalance Earl Stelle wore as he lined up behind the center. Then there was Oregon’s big moment when Monte Brethauer snatched Tommy Edward’s fumble from the clutches of one of the Bears to put the Ducks into the scoring column for the first time in 1950. There was the time Hal Cuffel gave a Cal tackier an armful of air with abswing of his hips, and the smile Chuck Missfeldt wore as he went into the Bear line.
