CHUCK LAIRD, 212 pound Duck lineman, is one of the eight seniors
on Oregon's team who will be team captains for the “Civil War” clash.
Laird got his first starting assignment two weeks ago against Idaho
and played a whale of a game. He was out of the Cal contest with a leg
Injury, but has recuperated enough to see plenty of action against the
Aggies.

Reeve, and Dick Mobley could all
be individual stars, if they didn't
have such talented men alongside
them.
Oregon hasn’t won the "Civil
• War” classic for four years. The
team thinks this Is the year it
will break that string. And so do
we.
True, pregame records mean
nothing in a traditional battle like
this. But we think the Ducks simply
outclass the “country cousins” from
the north.
No one in his right mind can state
•that the Beavers will be higher for
this game than the Ducks. And
when team spirit is equal there is
nothing else to give an edge to one
eleven except a better offensive
and defensive outfit. Oregon's grid
ders, who have gone undefeated in
their last four outings, are a better
squad, no matter what anyone says.
Oregon State won its Home
coming battle. So will the Ducks.

Oregon State Favored in Division,
But Ducks Could Upset Applecart
by Jim Whit*
Emerald Sport* Writer
Can anyone beat OSC in the
Northern Division basketball race
this year? Maybe not, but accord
ing to pre-season dope, Oregon’s
Webfoots have the best chance of
grabbing the title from under the
‘pre-season champs’ nose.
The Ducks, under the capable
leadership of Coach Bill Borcher,
lacking the unusual height of their
cross state rivals, will depend on
good ball handling and plenty of
speeJ. Oregon State is notorious
for a slow deliberate brand of ball
in an era of speed and high scoring.
This year, however, the Aggies 7’3”
center, Wade Halbrook, may bring
about a ‘one man team’ offense.
Dosses Heavy
Oregon’s losses were very heavy
this year. Chet Noe, All-Coast cen
ter, and one of the best in the coun
try, is the major loss. Noe set a new
conference rebounding record, and
set a new scoring record at Oregon
with an average of over 19 points a
game. Also gone is Keith Famam,
first team forward.
Borcher greeted six returning
lettermen this year: Ed Halberg,
Bob Hawes, Barney Holland, How
ard Page, Bob Stout and Ken Weg
ner.
Ed Halberg
Halberg, a transfer from Olym
pic JC, came back last year, after a
season's layoff, to become Oregon’s
top forward. He rated third in scor
ing on the team and was second in
rebounding. Halberg was second
only to Chet Noe in minutes played
thst season.
Bob Hawes
Hawes, a brilliant ball handler,
and one of the best set shots in the
country, is slated to see plenty of
action in casaba play this year. The
speedy Oregon guard, whose shoot
ing ability is little short of fan
tastic, had a hot and cold season
last year, but when he was good,
he was amazing, and when he was
off, he was still good.

Barney Holland
Holland will begin practice a
little late this season as he is also
one of Oregon's brightest football
stars. He earned himself the title of
the ‘Masked Marvel’ last year after
he had broken his nose in an OSC
game and was forced to wear a spe
cially constructed mask most of
the season.
Bob Stout
Stout saw action in all but one
game last year, and though he
didn’t do a great deal of scoring, he
did look very fast and did a great
job of ball handling. Stout, the top
reserve forward, saw 336 minutes
of action.

is not a dirty player as his personal
foul mark may indicate. Wegner
plays hard; drives hard and he ia
one of the fastest men on the sfusd.
He is usually in the middle of the
action and going for the ball every
chance he gets.

It’s the replaceable filter in Medico

Well-Known Reindeer Tells All
NORTH POLE, ARCTIC. Looking very dapper for
an 18-point buck with chalked muzzle and matching
white tail assembly, Dasher, famous front-running
reindeer for the S. Claus Parcel Service, stated today:
1. Conditions on the northern tundra are pretty
much the same as ever. No-o, TV hadn’t affected
the grazing habits of the middle-class herds.
2. That despite reports to the contrary, you
don’t ever thoroughly adjust to sub-zero weather,
regardless of the warm esteem people hold you in.
3. Rumors of a reindeer strike for Christmas Eve
are unfounded. Somebody’s got a termite in his
antler.
When asked about the most popular Christmas gift
down through the years he replied without hesitation:
“Menswear by Manhattan. I’ve helped haul Mr.
Claus s sled, roe and buck, nigh unto forever ... so I
ought to know ... nothing makes a man happier than
shirts, sportshirts, ties, pajamas, beachwear or under
wear labeled Manhattan. Don’t know whether it’s the
live style that makes a man look and feel so good,
whether it’s the traditional tailoring detail, or the
array of fabrics, patterns and colors that are all so
unmistakeably quality. I’ll admit one thing. I’ve kind
of wished sometimes that Manhattan would make
deerwear.”
