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.
No Fun For Refs
PORTLAND (.Pi Pacific Coast
Conference basketball coaches want
less whistle-tooting this year.
Meeting here Wednesday with
Frank McCormick, conference bas
ketball commissioner, the coaches
went over the rule book and sug
gested interpretations to lessen the
number of fouls called.
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.

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.

PULLMAN UP)—Football Coach
Forest Evashevski made it quite
clear in the Washington State
California game last Saturday that
the platoon system isn’t for him—•
not this year anyway.
Six Washington State linemen
played almost the full 60 minutes.
Two of them did, Sophomore Tac
kle Elmer Messinger and Guard
