|| DUCK TRACKS | By PETE CORNACCHIA ' Emerald Sports Editor Our heartbroken and weary football men were rather unwill ing listeners to a serenade by the jubilant Gaels from St. Mary’s after Saturday’s game. A thunderous rendition of “Goodnight, Irene” pushed out through the steam of the showers and rolled down the corridor to the Webfoots at the opposite end of the basement at McArthur Court. You could even hear it upstair's, and it sounded just as meaningful up there. Somehow, it wasn’t hard to imagine “Big Green” in place of “Irene.” It s a long way from Taegu to the Manchurian border, and it's a long way from Eugene to j Los Angeles, Seattle, or Port land. The road maps won't show it, but the path leading to these cities is a long uphill grind for Jim Aiken’s humbled men. Still Time They lost a game Saturday j which they should have won. : That beating may have marked the end of anything even re sembling an effective team for the remainder of the season. We doubt such a collapse has happened, however, provided they're willing to keep alive the spirit they’ve' shown during most of the season thus far. Our Oregons can regain a lot of prestige during the remainder of the schedule, if all of them at / Leo Harris Hie same time decide to whip hell out of somebody. It’s the winless Trojans of Southern Cal next Saturday at Los Angeles—a good place to start up the long hill. We Awaken One of the few impressive things at Hayward Field this past weekend was the wave of spirit which rippled through the Web foot rooting section as Oregon launced its futile drives in the final quarter. It was more than a ripple. It was a tidal wave which swept across the throng and pounded against the sides of the sta dium. Veteran writers in the pressbox remarked that never be fore had they beheld such a demonstration by the students across the Hayward Turf. The sudden awakening earned expressions of appreciation from President Harry K. Newburn, Athletic Director Leo Har ris, and ASUO President Barry Mountain. Every single flower of these bouquets was earned. Why, you might have thought that rooting section was filled with a horde of crazed Aggies cheering their champion milker on to greater tugs. 'Our Greatest Game' “Our boys played their greatest game of the season out there today,” Gael Coach Joe Ruetz told us in the dressing room, “even better than they were against Georgia.” “I think we were lucky that Oregon didn’t start passing against us sooner than they did,” he continued. “Our eight-man di a fine job in stopping their running attack, so I was al ways afraid they’d start throwing over it.” Ruetz had a lot of praise for Oregon’s Tommy Edwards in the backfield, and Emery Barnes, Dick Daugherty, and Don Mc Cauley in the line. “That Edwards is a wonderful little ball player, isn’t he?” he asked. “And we just couldn’t move that Barnes out of the way. You know, he must have stretched out 20 yards when he caught McGeehan from behind. It seemed as if Daugherty and McCaul ey were waiting for our backs everywhere they went.” The likable mentor said he didn’t use John Henry Johnson on offense because the big boy had a hip pointer. Sensational? John Henry for the most part was somewhat of a duel. He has a long, long way to go before he can be considered a great football player. Perhaps he now deserves to be called sensational, but what does that prove? Turn an ape or lion loose on the field and very likely it will be described as sensational, too. Someone who is likely^ to be described as sensational before very long is Webfoot End Monte Brelhauer. No one on the Duck squad has come along more speedily the past few weeks than has the former Jefferson (Portland) star. The 6-foot, 1-inch offensive end now ranks as the top pass receiver on the team. He didn’t break into the Duckling lineup for some time last fall, but finally SjM'ned and held a starting berth in catching 5 passes for 101 yards .and 2 touchdowns. At 172 pounds, Brethauer probably wouldn’t object to a little more weight. Two Sororities Join Forces Mu Phi Epsilon, national wom en’s music sorority, and Phi Beta, women's national speech and music honorary, gave a coffee hour as a joint rushing function Thursday at Carson Hall.
