'Duc6.'7'i<ic&& By JKKKY KAMSKV ^Kmarald Sport* Kditor mb I hrce football seasons ago, a <|iiict, compact young man ventured onto a lighted gridiron at Salt l.akc City, where the Oregon Duck# were playing the University of* Utah in the first game of their 1955 schedule. For his very first taste of varsity college football, this youngster (19 at the time) was chosen to start the game at right halfback. The very first time lie was given the hall (on a pitchout), he took it 19 yards toward the l te goal line, and tini bed first game as the leading richer, with 97 yards. Jim Shanley has been running hard for Oregon ever since. Three Big Yards Anri last Saturday, while Oregon was losing to Washing ton. at Multnomah Stadium, Shanley’s pumping feet carried him to a climax in the story that began as described above. The TV announcer simply reported early in the third rpiarter “Shanley tries left guard—*1 think he may have got-j t< n t wo or three yards,” The referee put the ball down on the Oregon 48, and the statistician duly gave Jim three yards in the rushing column. Knough to make him the most productive running back in Oregon's history If you want figures, here they are: 1955— 711 yards in KX) carries (4th in I'CC, record for' sophomore), 9 TDs. 1956— 15.1 yards in 10.1 tries. 5 TDs. 1957 -IK games) games of 92, Kl, 70. 52, 71, 72, and 42 for 5s 1 yards and 7 TDs so far. With that three-yard jaunt, less than his three-vear ave rage by the way. Shanlev collected two more yards than he i needed to move above Ueorge Hell on the All-Time Oregon rn h list. Hell, Norm \ an Rrockliu s best ground-gainer I during the 1947-1949 era. totaled 1728. It's ironic that Jim's lowest yardage total of his greatest season should be enough to put him 17 yards to the front with 1745. Though Hurryin' Hugh McElhenny's three-season rec- j ord of 2499 incredible yards seems beyond him now (300 ♦ yards per game is too much to expect even of Shanley) the North Hcnd sprinter must surely now be in the top bracket for all-time PCC dinners. These are admittedly pure statistics, telling nothing about the countless effective blocks administered before Jim, or the times when he came up on defense fast enough to help Duck linemen stop a plunge, or of his illustrious grid career in the North Hend junior high league, and later for the llulldogs of North Hend High. This we know: though every yard from now on is a new record for Jim Shanley, his main concern for these last two weeks will be the same: helping ten Casanova’s Ducks win ball games. Morris to Third W hile we're talking figures: dependable Jack Morris, Shanley's three-year teammate at fullback, is ascending the Oregon rush list in hi> own right. A few weeks back, he jumped into fourth place, and the Ducks' statistical depart ment reports this week that the Medford Mercury now is third—figures weren't available, but we guess that never before have a school's first and third ranked runners, career wise, been sharing the hall for three years. How about this: Jack Crabtree’s ten completed passes for l‘>5 monstrous yards and one score was the best Oregon aerial performance since Ceorge Shaw was throwing as many as 50 times per game. Added to his eight-for-nine against Stanford, Crabtree should he due for a climb up the I’CC pass listings when they are released this afternoon. IM Schedule Wednesday, Nov.

Correction: SAE's inatead of Sigma I 'hi Epsilon won Monday's volleyball action as was reported in yesterday's Emerald. Hale Kane Emerges Hale Kane's B volleyball team emerged as leaders of League five yesterday as they downed their closest foe, Campbell club, 7-2 and P-4. Both games were nip and tuck as the scores show. Campbell club though, never could really get started against the victors, for they found the Hale Kane defense too strong to break through. The first game was Hale Kane's ail the way. but they found that they had run up against a tough er foe than expected, for they could only gather a total of sev en points in their first victory. The second game was a much closer battle with the HK’s fi nally breaking through with a 8-4 triumph. Hale Kane is now undefeated in B volleyball action with a record of 3-0. Sigma Chi's Edge Betas The Sigma Chi B squad in creased their lead in League two Tuesday as they dumped Beta Theta Pi in consecutive games 10-5 and 8-5. This was the third straight, vic tory for the Sigies. They had lit tle trouble with third place Beta Theta Pi as they rolled over them by a very decisive first game score of JO-5. However, in the second game, Sigma Chi had to fight for its life to win it. Both teams played a bang up defensive ball game with points coming few and far between. It wasn’t until the last few minutes of the game that the valley dwellers staged a three point rally to edge out the tough Betas. Fijis Win Again While Sigma Chi was main taining their lead in League two by downing Beta, Phi Gamma Delta kept pace with their co leaders by knocking off Phi Kap pa Psi 15-4 and 10-8. The high flying Fiji’s had no difficulty with the winless swamp idwellers as they literally ran all j over them. The Phi Psi’s never were in striking distance as the Phi Gams kept building up a comfortable lead which carried them to a first game triumph of 15-4. In the second game, the cliff dwellers displayed a last minute rally to overcome a short Phi Psi lead and a victory for the unde feated Phi Gams. This leaves for the Fiji’s only one more game in which rests the title of League Two. This •game, of course, is with lead shar ing Sigrna Chi. Chi Psi's Roll Chi Psi B squad won its first game of the intramural season yesterday as they defeated Sigma Alpha .Mu in consecutive games 12-10 and 7-5. First set was a ding dong bat tle that went into an overtime period that found Chi Psi’s emer ging with a hard earned 12-10 victory. Second set was called when time expired and again Chi Psi had come through with a narrow two point margin to gain its first win of the season in B volleyball action. SAE's Ramble Sigma Alpha Epsilon advanced in yesterday s IM volleyball ac tion as they downed Kappa Sig ma 7-5 and 15-0. The SAE’s experienced diffi culty in winning the first set, but when time had expired the score read SAE 7 and Kappa Sigma 5. In the finale the powerful SAE B squad had no trouble as they literally walked all over the losers 15-0. FOR COLLEGE MEN ONLY. . . INCLUDING R.O.T.C.
