1 DUCKTRACKS By Sam Fidman The name of A1 Carmichael is just now beginning to ring through the Northwest. After October 28, when the Oregon varsity gridiron contingent smacks into the queer Trojans of the University of California, the name of Carmichael may clang' through the evergreens like an ear-piercing air raid si ren. At the end of spring football practice down in the camp of Newell J. (Jeff) Cravath, Car michael, a sophomore, was la- | belled the best left halfback on the field—and at USC, the field is big. The sophomore flash stamj" an even six feet, weighs in at ! 195 pounds, is 21 years old, and || hails from Gardena, Calif. His H previous experience is listed as || being with Santa Ana Junior §§ College, Now where, you might ask, is 11 the story? How does Carmich ael effect the University of Oregon i Dixie Howell Where's the Story? It is simply this—Oregon had first crack at the talented back and what really hurts is that he wanted to come to Oregon. Santa Ana Jaysee is a part of the Trojan gridiron farm system —they grow gridders there, and train them in play patterns simi lar to those Cravath uses—-and when the rough grain is off, they are hoisted up to Southern Cal. Carmichael, who was moved up to the starting lineup last Sat urday against the Washington State Cougars—by public de mand—played football for the El Toro Marines before his affilia tion with Santa Ana. • An Oregon alum, close to the situation, and a good friend of Carmichael’s, wrote to Oregon about Carmichael. He was not . even given the courtesy of a reply—and the disgruntled young athlete fell into the already lush football pastures of USC. Guiding Light Flutters Up at Moscow, Dixie Howell, who has just launched his fourth year as the guiding light for the University of Idaho, is in the process of preparing a fancy trap for the varsity Oregon football team, which will drop by for a visit this weekend. If Idaho is going to pull the stops out from anyone, this Sat urday will be the time. Howell has wdn 11 games and lost 17 since coming to Idaho (that is his teams have won 11 and lost 17), which is a glistening record, considering. A win over Ore gon this year, before an enthused home crowd, would just about Establish Howell as an institution at Moscow. A trouncing of the Vandals, on the other hand, might fulfill some late 1949 rumors that hinted at an “all is not well’ situation between Howell and his paycheck’s signature. Television Commits Murder . Television is murdering football attendance at Coast Confer ence games. There is the story of the effect of telecasting on gate receipts, no holds barred. .. .One authority estimated that it has meant nearly a 50 percent difference in attendance at Oregon’s lone televised game so far this year. There are two more to be played, the aforementioned contest with USC, again at Los Angeles, and at Seattle where Oregon meets the University of Washington November 11. Television moguls have claimed that although attendance might be cut down at first, eventually it would attract an entire ly new, heretofore untouched grid audience—thus swelling at tendance at a later date. After three years, attendance is still nose-diving. At the Ore gon-UCLA game, not even the entire Bruin student section was fiUecl. « It is going to get hot for television before many more months. Relics Excavated by Cressman Declared Oldest in America Information dating Indian arti facts found by L. S. Cressman, head of the Oregon anthropology department, as 9,053 years old, has been released by the Univer sity of Chicago Institute of Nu clear Studies. . Cressman excavated the arti facts, a pair of sandals, more than years ago from Fort Rock Cave In Eastern Oregon, near Bend. J. R. Arnold and W. F. Libby of the Institute comment that “these are the oldest dated arti facts in the Americas.” The Institute, in a publication dated Sept., 1950, has given a ser ies of dates of archaeological and geological events determined in the last 18 months by the newly developed Carbon 14 method. These dates apply to both Euro pean and American material, Cressman said. Other materials were also sub mitted by Cressman to determine, if possible, the age of the Crater Lake eruption and of other archa elogical sites. Cressman returned to the Uni versity this fall after a year’s leave of absence on a renewed Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. He has been working on material which he has excavated in East ern Oregon in the past few years.
