I DUCKTRACKS |
By PETE CORNACCHIA
i Emerald Sports Editor
Heaven help the foes of Washington this Saturday, sing the
boys. Five Fins on the Fearsome Foursome, chant the boys in
the back rooms down at Luckey's. Weep, O Muses, for our poor
gladiators, pleads the lone football fiend in the English depart
ment.
Offhand, it seems these and other folk believe our Webfoots
won t have the chance of a
snowball in a Delta Zeta bustle
when they meet Washington
this weekend at Seattle. If we
give a second thought to the
coming battle, however, when
will the time be more ripe than
now for an upset ? The reported
millions of dollars spent to
build the current Husky eleven
clinked down the drain this past
Saturday - when' Washington
lost to the boys with more
money. The folks around Seat
tle wanted that win very badly
and they were about as high for
that contest as you can get.
^There’s little more than a
faded rose remaining among |£gl JWBSHK
the Husky souvenirs this week Howie Odell
as the once-victorious Ducks prepare to invade, and it’s likely
the Huskies consider the rose and the Duck fit only for the gar
bage bucket. Word comes down the trail that several of Coach
Howie Odell’s regulars are slated for very little action against
the Webfoots.
Don't Feel Badly, Boys
“Don’t get the idea we think we’d whip you with our little
finger,” seems to be the inference. “It’s just that our boys have
worked hard this season and need a rest.”
Dick Sprague, 180-pound sophomore, has been working out as
offensive fullback in place of Hugh McElhenny, who has done
little more this rveek than warm up briefly in a sweat suit. Hurri
cane Hugh, hobbling from a hip bruise received against Califor
nia, is reported to be receiving massages and diathermy treat
ments.
Sprague, in a case similar to that of our Jack Countryman, has
had his primary duties this fall confined to defensive chores but
has shown enough speed and drive to fill in when McElhenny
isn’t around.
Joe Cloidt, pass-snagging end rated by many as the best wing
man on the Coasfi>is missing practice because of a fractured bone
in the lower part of his back. He Isn’t expected to see action Sat
urday. Halfback Jack Seth, they say, is down with a cold. No tell
ing about End Fritz Apking, who has been getting his knuckles
rapped in a disciplinary fashion by Odell. It seems Halfback Ro
land Kirkby needs a rest, too.
Heinrich Will Be There
There’s little doubt Quarterback Don Heinrich will be in there
for at least a pass or two—at least long enough to establish a new
passing yardage record. Maybe this will bring Hood River’s Don
O’Leary into action for a change. One of the best passers to be
tempted from this state in a long time, O’Leary went to NTotre
l$&me ivhere he got little more than polite nods from the coaches
at South Bend. Evidently preferring to play on a lesser team
lather than pick bench splinters for the Fading Irish, he trans
ferred to Washington to rust behind Heinrich with Sam Mitchell.
It was mid-season last year before Heinrich could establish an
edge over O’Leary, and for good reason. Against Oregon State,
with Heinrich sidelined by injuries, O’Leary connected with 15
tosses in 25 attempts to set a Washington record for the most
completions in a single game. He hit 46 of 84 attempts during the
season.
O'Leary OK
In his limited work this season—his last, O’Leary had pitched
16 aerials up to the California contest and completed 8 of them
for 53 yards. Four punts averaging- 33.3 yards are credited to him.
We sometimes wonder if the guy would have done better for
himself to stay in the state—at Oregon, for instance.
Many, many lines ago we mentioned something about good
chances for an upset. We don’t know how many of the Huskies
Jivill be able to play Saturday nor how many will be called upon
to play. Bear stories are to be taken for what they’re worth and
we never know the truth until it's too late. Nevertheless, consid
ering that Washington is likely to be down after the California
games (especially after they scan Oregon’s record) and also may
be considerably bothered by injuries, we have a decent chance of
wrecking Husky Rose Bowl hopes completely.
Jn this year of elections, we hope Jim Aiken’s boys will remem
ber how the voting went two years ago when Oregon was co
champion of the Pacific Coast Conference.
Counseling Center Now Ready
To Handle Student Problems
Are you in a quandary over
midterms and not just sure what
you are going to do?
The counseling center can handle
many problems of a personal, edu
cational, or vocational nature. Var
ious tests can be given which will
help in showing students what
they are best suited for, but J. S.
Carlson, director of the center,
emphasized they , can only help. A
student must make up his own
mind in the end.
Veterans' counseling at the cent
er was discontinued Nov. 10. This
gives the office more time to work
with non-veterans. Increased flexi
bility in working out each stu
dent’s problem is now possible with
the VA counseling out of the way,
Carlson said. He also mentioned
that while the center was handling
VA affairs, 4,016 cases were taken
care of, over half of them being
students on the campus.
In addition to counseling, the
center administers tlje entrance
exams, scoring them with an elec
trical machine. They also score
tests for the faculty. Use of the
machine makes it possible to score
between 200 and 500 tests an hour,
and Carlson estimated it takes the
place of 20 persons. In one day
during the time the entrance
exams were given, about 2,000
tests were scored. The same even
ing, 2,000 more tests were brought
down from Vanport College and
scored, making a total of 4,000
tests scored in one day.

Women Grads
Offered Jobs
A number of job opportunities
are available to graduating wom
en in the field of YWCA social
group work including teaching, re

In addition, there are opportuni

there were other jobs in similar
work not with the YWCA. He has
information available for those in
terested.
“Does this package belong to
you? The name is obliterated.”
“That ain’t mine. My name’s
Thompson.”
If it weren’t for second guessers
there would be a lot less criticism
in the world.
