T DUCK TRACKS By PETE CORNACCHIA Emerald Sports Editor If we just had a little more time” is a very futile excuse, a dodge worth little more than the present price of a ticket to the past Oregon-USC contest at Los Angeles. Still, Jim Aiken’s Y\ ebfoots were very like!)" consoling each other in such terms as tney trudged ott the Colise um’s shadowed turf Saturday afternoon. After watching that late spurt in the final quarter, we’re in clined-to believe the Oregons would have pulled ahead of the Trojans if a few more minutes were available. Coach J e ff Cravath’s men appeared to have shot their pooled wad in that terrible third quarter, while the Ducks were well plucked but still waddling. Right about here, however, you're probably wondering if Tex Oliver we ve heard the story about the dog and why he didn t catch his rabbit. -Now that you bring it up, we wonder if that particular ffooch stopped for his “paws that refreshes” in the third quarter. It would be interesting to count how many times we’ve lost foot ball games in the third' period during the past few years. There must be some reason for this, but who has the answer? Same Men—Two Teams Oregon certainly was represented by two completely different teams during the afternoon. One stayed right with USC for three quarters, while the other dropped feathers all over the sun drenclfed’tttrf in that Terrible Third. Both teams were composed of the same personnel. The biggest reason we can find for the letdown was the absence of Earl Stelle after his injury late in the second quarter. In our opinion, Earl was turning in one of the best games of his career until-he was bumped on the noggin. His mates took too long in deciding they could do anything without him-—both on offense and defense. New Help Durable Dick Daugherty has been the big brick in the defensive wall for the Ducks all season, so the great job he did against the Trojans was something we’ve come to take for granted. The same goes for Dick Patrick. Several loud grunts from the partisan crowd were fitting tribute to the vicious, driving tackles made by the pair of fine linebackers. While these men were performing well along the line of scrim mage, a p.air of nott-iettermen juniors were doing themselves proud in the secondary. Jack Countryman not only did a lot to stop several USC drives but set up both of the Duck touchdowns in the final period. He intercepted Quarterback Ed Demirjian’s pass on the Oregon 11 and ran it back to the 44 to pave the way for the first one, and made a shoe-string catch of a line drive punt before returning it 32 yards to the enemy 23 to start the drive for the final score. The 158-pound speedster nearly went all the way with both returns. Emile Holeman, too, inserted himself between numerous Tro jan passes and their intended receivers. A comforting thought is the fact these men will be around next season. V Van Likes Brethauer Norm Van Brocklin sat with us in the pressbox S.aturday, and the great quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams was impressed by the work of Monte Brethauer. Van Brocklin said he anticipat ed considerable trouble from the Detroit Lions, who were to meet the Rams the next day in the Coliseum, although former Notre Dame giant Leon Hart was among the least of his worries. Was Glenn Davis getting any slower? Not so’s you could notice. Davis, by the way, contributed five bucks to the former Oregon quarterback after picking Troy to win by 21 points or more. Van neglected to mention he would pass to five touchdowns and score once himself Sunday in leading the 65-24 rout of the Lions. He connected on 13 of his 17 tries for 293 yards. We also saw Woodley Lewis and Win Wright, members of Oregon’s conference co-champion eleven in 1948. Lewis is still a valuable teammate to Van Brocklin, on defense now—where he intercepted two passes Sunday agains the Lions. Oliver at Fullerton Tex Oliver, football coach at Oregon before Jim Aiken, was another visitor to the pressbox. He wanted to know why Bob Anderson hadn't made the trip. Told that the big end had been kept home by injuries, Oliver expressed disappointment and said lie had been anxious to see ‘‘a boy who showed me great possibili ties when I was up there” in action. Oliver, whose Webfoot teams rvon 23 and lost 28 during his six years at Eugene, has returned to coaching after a venture in the insurance business. A single fT.dng man while at Oregon, he uses both this power formation and the T at Fullerton JC, a team which has won four and drop ped two. University 'Quiz Kids' Display Amazing Brilliance over KOAC By Marilyn Patterson What were the names of the two men who sang with Bing Cros by in the Rhythm Boys trio? Who said, “I could run on a laundry ticket and still beat him in the election.” ? Don’t shove a bowling ball in your hip pocket and jump into the millrace if you can’t answer those questions. They were addressed to the University "quiz kids,” Betsy Eggen, Mary Hall, Jo DeLap, Gor don Ericksen, Don Dimick, and Ernie Jaqua Wednesday over the KOAC student program, “The Voice Is Familiar.” Fragments of speeches by cele brities were played before the panel, the men trying to beat the women (and vice versa) in identi fying the voice. Then a question was asked about the personality, and whichever side gave the cor rect answer received all the points, even if they hadn’t recognized the voice first. The "brain trust” exhibited amazing brilliance. Gordon Erick sen, in response to the query, "Who is Alben Barkley’s wife,” retorted with a quick flash of genius, “Mrs. Barkley.” Don Porter, KUGN announcer, was master of ceremonies and, oc casionally, referee. Proving that the females may possibly be the weaker sex mentally, he scored the male side 36 points and the women only 15. UO Students Pay $36 Per Year For SU Support University of Oregon students are now paying $36 a year to the support of the Student Union. Where does that money go? Here is the breakdown, according to Dick Williams, Student Union di rector. Twenty-four dollars is set aside for the redeeming of bonds. Twelve dollars goes into the ac tual running of the SU and for the support of educational activi ties. Those areas of the Student Union which are non-revenue pro ducing are assisted through this fund. The majority of salaries paid to SU employees come out of the $12 sum. A part of the $12 supports the Oregon Daily Emerald, Ore gana, the University band, choral union, and other such organiza tions which come under the head ing of educational activities. Oregon’s SU fee is slightly high er than those of some other col lege unions. However, the Oregon SU provides for a larger program than most unions. The SU, on any campus, is es sentially a non-profit organization working for the students. Income earned is used to improve the existing program. Jobs in Canal Zone Open to Graduates Job opportunities are available for college gradutes through the Inter-American Geodetic Survey headquarters in the Canal Zone, the graduate placement office an nounced Thursday.
