Ducks to Meet Washington
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Phi Delts Stop DU's;
Phi Kaps Fall To Beta;
ATO's Top TKE, 27-0
Old man weather sent a wet day Thursday, hut that didn t
dampen the spirits of some hundred-odd IM footballers who
Uaved wind and rain to bring glory and a chance in the play
offs to their respective living organizations. \\ ith only one day
left to pla\ in the regular season, every team was bent on im
iMOving its record. , . .
In a high scoring contest the l’hi Delt squad stunned a barrel
lighting Delta I'psilon team by the score of 2(>-f>. '1 lie 1 ’hi
pelts, unleasing a devastating ground attack, racked tip seven
points earty in me iirst
when Daryl Nelson intercepted!
a D.U. pass and raced fifty yards
to the five yard line. Several plays
later, Mitch Cleary chucked to1
l>tck Yost for the first six-points.
Oleary skirted right end for the
extra point.
That was just the start of a
fracas that saw Lewis. Nelson and
Keith Farnum scoring T.D's.
The one bright light for Delta
TJpsilon was Jim Hodges' touch
down. which spoiled the shutout.

Curdy Howard also looked good
for the D.U.'s
Betas Score Much
Beta Theta Pi also piled up a
goodly number of points in its
game against Phi Kappa Sigma.
Worm Fenton, Harlan Mickey, Dick
Adams and Ken Ball scored for
th? victors while the vanquished
tallied only by a safety. Perhaps
most destructive to the Phi Kappa
•Stg cause was Norm Fenton. Pass
ing. running and playing well de
fensively, he led his teammates to
Victory. Final score was 27-2.
Getting away from such “sky
scraper scores,” Pi Kappa Alpha
had a tough time beating Phi
-Oamrna Delta. The game, which
was probably the roughest of the
afternoon, saw two men carried
from the field. As in previous
games, big Bob Peterson was a
thorn in the side of the opposition.
He started the scoring by catch
ing a pass from Rich Holmquist,
and was constantly in the Fijis’
hair.
Lindstedt to Lolly was the scor
ing combo for Fiji. A ten yard
aerial scored the TD and, seconds
later, the conversion also came
via aerial.
PiKA’s Throw Aerial
The PiKA’s cinched the game on
a 40 yard pass play to Ray Gilky
from Holmquist. Phil Liberty
added the extra point.
Hunter Hall of the Freshman
Vet’s Dorm showed definite su
periority as it whipped Cherney,
13-0. Scottie Hatton hit Ray Wig-1
glesworth for the first score, then
Marcus Shuttle passed to Jim
Roberts for the second touchdown.
Roberts made the conversion.
Most thrilling game of the day
took place between Kappa Sigma
and Sigma Nu. With dusk rapidly
falling, these teams battled to a
scoreless tie for three quarters un
til the deadlock was broken. Late
in the final stanza, Joe Sugura
intercepted a Kappa Sig pass. Two
plays later he fired an aerial to
Rich Tergeson who latched onto it
in the end zone. The conversion
was good. Bill Clausen was out
standing for the Kappa Sigs.
Alpha Tops McChesney
Meanwhile Alpha Hall was down
ing McChesney Hall 14-0. Keith
Wade hit paydirt first for the
men of Alpha on a pass' from
Roy Morgan. Gene O'Brien scamp
ered over for the extra point. The
situation was reversed minutes
later when Wade chucked to Mor
gan for a TD and O’Brien threw to
him for the conversion.
Last but not least Alpha Tan
Omega downed Tau Kappa Ep
silon 25-0. Ken Torgeson was the
big gun in tills game, scoring three
touchdowns for ATO, and playing
sterling defense. Kenny Wegner
tallied the remaining six points
on a pass play from Bod Ward.
Stan Ray won a tilt by forfeit
over Sherry Ross.
No IM games are scheduled Fri
day. with the season's final pro
gram tilts to be played Monday.

Reviewed
When Oregon's Webfoots and
Washington's Huskies meet Satur
day at Multnomah Stadium in
Portland, they will mark the 25th
anniversary of the stadium and
the 45th meeting of the two teams.
Of the 44 games played, the Dueks
have won 18, the Huskies 22, and
four have ended in ties.
Since 1940, however, Washington
has won seven of the 10 games
played. Oregon has emerged vic
toiious only in 1941, 47, and '48. In
1941, with such stars as Jimmy
Newquist, Duke Iverson and Bill
Borcher. the Ducks eked out a 19
16 win. In 1947, All-American Jake
Leicht caught a Norm Van Brock
lin pass on the Washington five
yard line, and drove over on the
next play to give Oregon a G-0 vic
tory. Oregon's greatest team, star
ring Van Brocklin at quarterback
and Dick Wilkins and Dan Garza
at the ends, squeezed past the Hus
kies 13-7 in 1948 and went on to
the Cotton Bowl.
The worst Washington defeat oc
curred in the very first contest be
tween the two teams. The game
was played in 1900, and the Web-,
foots won 43-0.
Oregon’s worst beating was ad
ministered by the Huskies in 1911,
when the purple and gold machine
rambled over the Ducks 29-3.
The closest game of the series
was the 1949 contest. Oregon
place-kicker, Chet Daniels, had
run up a string of 18 straight con
versions, but he missed his very
first try. He was successful in his
next thr ee attempts, but Washing
ton's Jim Rozenwieg kicked four
straight, and the Huskies won, 2.8
27. Woodley Lewis, famed Oregon
halfback r.ow playing for the Los
Angeles Rams, made one of his
many spectacular kickoff returns
in that game, running 67 yards
from his own 16 to Washington’s
17 yard line and setting up the
final Oregon touchdown.
Last year, a drastic year for
Oregon, the Ducks put up an ex
ceptional battle, but lost to the
loaded Huskies 27-12.
This year’s game may also go in
the records, as the scrappy Ducks
have the spirit to pull an upset
over the highly favored Huskies.

Ailing Webfoots Set
For Stadium Clash;
'Cas’ Hopes For Best

Casanova Comment*
Questioned concerning Oregon
chances in the game, Coach Len
Casanova said:
"We will he outmanncd, and
missing a hard workout Wednes
day will hurt us. but if the boys
play the way they did in the first
two games and in the last half of
the COP game, we ll give Wash
ington a ball game."
The 15 members of the squad
who were suffering from intestinal
flu are gradually shaking off its
effects, but Casanova is not certain
enough of their condition to be
able to name the starting lineup
Thursday night. It will be an
nounced sometime Friday.
Several injured men, however,
are definitely out of the contest.
Tom Lyon, although working out
Thursday^ will not see action, nor
will Kay Karnofski who still has
an injured elbow. Boh Ashworth,
against Stanford, is still out with
an Injured leg.
Certainly to play is M o n t e
Brethauer, record breaking pass
catcher, who suffered a broken rib
against COP, but wi'l see action
in spite of that fact.
Novikoff Ready
Fulback Tom Novikoff has re
covered from bruises sustained in
the last game, and will be ready
to carry a big share of the offen
sive load.
Former state prep sprint champ
ion Ted Anderson should get his
first opportunity in a varsity game
since he has recovered from an
injured knee.
Dick Davenport, who has been
'• the most successful Duck pass rc
: ceiver so far this season, has
, cured a dislocated thumb suffi
ciently to play against the Huskies.

star who is one half of the aerial
I combination which leads the PCC.
| Sam Mitchell, quarterback, who
' is the other half, is out with an
ankle injury and will not see ac
tion against Oregon. Dean Rockey,

yards gained rushing from Ins full
back spot, including a dazzling 100
yard punt return against U8C.

the const.
