Ducklings In Light Drills For Opener Coach Bill Bowerman’s Univer sity of Oregon frosh gridders will run through a light workout this afternoon as they await their sea son’s opener with the Willamette University Jayvees, who will battle the Frosh on Hayward Field at 3 p.m. Friday. The Willamette gridders opened 1950 hostilities Tuesday afternoon at Corvallis, where they took a 45-7 lacing from the Oregon State Rooks. The Bearcat juniors, who use a Flanker T-formation, appeared to be much better than the score indi cated. Although their backs made a number of costly mistakes, their center, guards, and tackles were called outstanding. The Beaver Babes rolled into touchdown territory within the op ening five minutes of the game, scored another six-pointer in the same period, and added three touchdowns during the second quarter. The Rooks led 33-0 at the half. Willamette narrowly averted a shutout defeat when Jerry Aldrich tossed a third-quarter aerial to Jimmy Noa for 50 yards and a touchdown on a fake punt play. The Ducklings, whose practice session today will consist of a few running exercises, will field two teams against Willamette tomor row afternoon. Coach Bowcrman plans to start one team for the first quarter and a different squad for the second stanza. Each team will play both offense and defense. Injuries Plague Skidding USC LOS ANGELES </P)— Southern California’s football squad worked late Wednesday but a doleful note echoed from Bovard Field with the announcement of the school s in jury list. A spokesman listed six players who won’t be able to play against mighty California here Saturday, and two more are doubtful. The sick sextette were named as ends Bill Jessup, Winston Goller, A1 Baldock and Don Stillwell; Guard Nick O’Brovae and Center Mercer Barnes. Right Halfbacks Pat Duff and Dean Schneider are nursing injur ies and may see little or no action against the Bears.

RAY LUNG, the 202 pound pre-law major who will see action Satur day at Moscow, Ida., where Oregon meets Idaho’s Vandals. One of the league’s top defensive guards last season, Lung has a vicious defen sive charge and is an effective blocker. Minturn, ATO In Finals; Maul Phi Dells, Nestor By Jack Clement Mighty Minturn Hall and a rough and tough ATO squad moved into the intramural finals, Wednesday with convincing wins over Phi Del ta Theta and Nestor Hall. Both clubs displayed talent and grid know-how in registering their vic tories. Minturn put up an almost air tight defense to defeat a scrappy Phi Delt seven 25-6. Jack Jones scored the losers lone tally in the fourth quarter when ho took a Nick Schmer pass in the end zone. This play climaxed a long drive with Schmer hitting Keith Farn ham and Bob Taggesell consistent ly enough to push the score across. Minturn completely dominated play except for the aforementioned drive. Joe Tom rifled a pass to Roy Muirhead for six points in the first quarter. STUDENTS The Last Day to Return Textbooks for Full Refund— Thursday, Oct. 12th U of O Co-op Store After a scoreless second period Tom again tomahawked the Phi Delts with a pass to Ray Coley for a touchdown. Tom Strikes Again Fate played its part in this touch down when the pass from Tom was deflected by a Phi Delt defender into Coley’s arms. Never in better form, “Little Joe” shot an aerial to center Joe Nishimoto for the third score of the afternoon. The Phi Delts retaliated in the opening minutes of the fourth quar ter, but Minturn, not to be denied, came roaring back to register their final score on a pass from Tom to Louis Santos. This time the extra point try was successful when Tom flipped to Muirhead in the end zone. Minturn started another drive, but the clock choked off their power. No Nestor Threat In the other game of the day the ATO's whipped Nestor Hall 15-0. Although the victors were held to a two point margin until late in the third quarter, Nestor was never a threat. Walt McClure racked up the two points for ATO in the first quarter. After threatening time and again the Hilltoppers gathered steam and hit paydirt when Joe Marvin pitched to Torgerson who romped into the end zone. Again, in the fourth quarter, Marvin fired to Torgerson in the flats for the final tally. Harry Caldwell took a Marvin aerial for the extra point. Nestor never was able to gain consistently enough to score. Aiken Polishes Ducks For Tilt; Last Vandal Win Recorded In 1926 Passing Joes Clash Minturn Hall’s football team of destiny will clash Friday afternoon with Alpha Xau Omega for the in tramural gridiron championship. Kick-off time has been set for 4 p.m. at the intramural field. A pair of passing Joes, Marvin of ATO and Tom of Minturn premise plenty of offensive thrills through the air lanes. Skiers Await First Snowfall Oregon’s new athletic baby, var sity skiing, awaits only the first snow flurries before swinging into action. A voluntarily scheduled meeting of all men interested in the slats squad was recently held at the Stu dent Union where 21 presumably eligible sitzmen attended. To Leo Harris, athletic director, and coach of the ski squad, falls the task of pealing the roster down to seven. He said Wednesday that practice will start when snow is available. Vote of Confidence ASUO President Barry Mountain received a letter signed by half a dozen members of the squad hope fuls, in which Harris was given a strong vote of confidence. A section of the letter reports: “Knowing in general who is on campus, we can think of no better man than Leo Harris, our present athletic director, to serves as coach. Contrary to what one may think, the main job of the coach would be administrative details; the technique is largely a matter of practice.” Head Coach Jim Aiken ran his improving Webfoots through a full practice session Wednesday, in preparation for a conference foot ball clash Saturday against the University of Idaho. The experience-shy Oregon var sity, now sporting a one win, two loss record, will be favorites over Dixie Howell’s Vandals, although the game will be the homecoming spectacle at Moscow. There has been one common foe this season, the Montana State Uni versity Grizzlies, who lost to Ore gon 21-13, but defeated Idaho 28-27 one week before. The last Idaho victory over an Oregon team was registered in 1926, when the Vandals pulled out a 6-0 win. In 35 games played .Ore gon has triumphed 29 times, there have been four ties, and Idaho has won two. Last season, a backfield-heavy Webfoot squad, playing on Hav ward Field, handed the Vandas their worst defeat in the history of the rivalry which extends as far back as 1901. Oregon won the game by 41-0. The most points ever scored by the Vandals against an Oregon team came in 1908 when the Ducks hammered out a 27-21 win. Since the last Idaho triumph, in 1926, the Webfoots have pounded the scoring bell for 371 points, while the Vandals could muster only 57.
