“Duck e7%ac6& By Bill Gurney fcmrralri Sports K<litor It's a mighty good University of Washington football team which will face the Oregon Webfoots on the Multnomah stadi um turf Saturday. A team of which it could be truthfully said that it is nearly great, and perhaps with All-American Quarter back Don Heinrich in the lineup, it would be great. Big Hugh McKlhenny and he made a combination last season which was • very hard to beat. Htiskie Coach Howard Odell, has however been unusually -successful in replacing the gaping hole left by the loss of Hein rich. 11 is second choice, Sam Mitchell, has completed 33 out of *51 passe.-, for 37-1 yards gained. However Mitchell received a ( serious ankle injury in the rugged battle against the L'SC| Trojans, which Washington lost, incidentally, 20-13. Rockey Comes Thru But Odell still has another ace in the hole for the vital T , formation slot, and he is sophomore Dean Rockey. Rockey eems to be another bulls-cye passer, with 23 completions ‘out of 38 tries, and four touchdown passes. One of these scoring tosses was the most important in Hockey's budding ‘gridiron career -with the Huskies trailing Minnesota, 20-18, .and only three minutes to play, Rockey hit Hurricane Hugh McKlhenny for the winning score. So as long as Rockey is in the lineup. Washington still will .have quarterbacking to match the rest of its high powered lineup. But should w hat seems to be a jins in operation continue 'to stymie Huskie hopes, and something befall Rockey; then .the Washington team will have to depend for quarterbacking ■ on a pair of untried reserves, Clarence Robertson and Arne •Bergh. Oregonian Leaves Fold \\ c notice that the Washington starting lineup includes a young man hy tin- name of Phil <»i 11 i-, a 202 pound end from Bend, < )regon. . Now we realize that it is a free country, and a boy can seek his higher education wherever he so desires, but competition *in the Pacific Coast Conference would be much more equal, and smaller schools such as Oregon could compete on a more equal • basis, if promising high school athletes would elect to attend ’.institutions in their own state. • Of course such items as discrepancies in athletic budgets ’between a school the size of Washington, and a school the size of Oregon may have much to do with Oregon prep prizes ’.attending out of state institutions. Hut ostensibly a hoy is attending college not to play football, hut to get an education. 'If he attends to live in Oregon after graduation, the long range • viewpoint would he for hint to start making friends and con ‘ tacts there immediately. Many Oregon Preppers Migrate Also, there have been many cases where Oregon high school v.stars have gone far afield to find proper appreciation of their 4(^mts, only to find that the competition is such that they •spend most of their athletic careers on the bench and as • practice cannonfodder for material-loaded aggregations. On the other hand, the University of Oregon and Oregon State •have never been so rich in material that stars from Oregon high schools have been denied the chance to show their wares. . .Much of the over-emphasis criticism with which college •football is currently receiving could be silenced if high school ► athletes attended schools in their home states. OSC Flashes Power - Despite the difficulties we have painted, our Orange clad • neighbors in the village to the north, seem to have put to •gether an aggregation that may well be the Rose-Howl bound darkhorse of the conference. Coach Kip Taylor's OSC Beavers ’have a tremendous passing punch in Left Halfback Dave Mann, .and senior Quarterback Cene Morrow. Big Sam Baker, workhorse fullback in Taylor’s Michigan .single wing has been bothered by an injury, but should be • ready for the first major Beaver test of the season—a engage ' ment with the power-laden USC Trojans, in the Los Angeles . Coliseum Saturday. . It is always a disadvantage for northern teams to play in the south, w ith the heat and faster turf, but we would give OSC .a good chance to come through with a victory. * Bears Travel North ~ We of the northwest should feel honored Saturday, for ’mighty California is journeying far afield to Pullman for a -contest with the WSC Cougars. From all indications, Cal is •better than ever this season, even though they are disqualified for the Rose Bowl. We only hope WSC can keep the score ■down. ions Notes Potluck dinners, open houses and discussions on the importance of Christianity are planned by camp us religious groups for the coming week.
