Newspaper Page Text. I. . k hpnn? npnnno LJ By RON LJ GEMMELL E to -I And yet one more halfback Is . Tex Oliver moving over to the ..fullback pc. Leonard Isberg. right halfback from Portland who has been on the injured list with an infected leg, is the latest shift In an effort to bol ster the boomer position. That gives Oliver five fullbacks, Frank Emm oil s, Marshall Stentstrom, Bob Smith. Bill lltorb and Isberg. Evidently i the Dock mentor is trying to find the answer to what this corres pondent unquestionably named l the weakest link In the Duck attack. yVbile Emmons, Stent strom and Smith- H or wnom performed against Ucia, ; were by no means entirely ineffi cient, not one of 'them showed ability to plow for those extra two or three yards that so many times are sadly needed. Oregon vs. Stanford. ) If Stanford's team is no better than . the one Oregon by great good luck knocked over last year, o the poor Indians! While Stan ford should be better, to date the Thornhlll gridiron thunderstorm hasn't amassed any; foreboding bank of scoring clouds. The In dians were run over straight . up and a-scratchln by the Broncs of Santa Clara, and were actually out-gained by a WSC club which this year dAisn't figure to be in the same class 'with- the Ducks. Perhaps Thornhill's grid thermo stat has Just begun to function in the manner that was heralded for it before the coastal wars began this fall. Even so it doesn't figure to be opened wide enough Satur day to encompass the Webfobts. ;It the Cougars outgalned the In-jdi-ns. what will the latter do (against the Duck forward wall that on consecutive Saturdays tossed WSC and Ucla for 90 yards loss? ' ' . - Game tVon't Draw. While ordinarily, with Ore gon and Stanford both on the upswing; the game at Palo Alto Saturday should be a. seH ; oat, I doubt if it will, draw much more than enough to pay for the jcouple hundred gallons of Eugene water the Ducks will take south with them. The rea son is evident: But a few miles distant the California Bears tangle with the Vela Bruins who last Saturday tripped tip ' mighty Washington. The pop ulace around the bay region will have another opportunity to see the lemon-yellow and green team in action, against. California Nov. 12, but it'll be the only time Vela plays in that territory. . Silent ' Cats. ' Word of .the Bearcats, since their failure to cope with Marine maneuvers, has been as scarce as vrere wins by the Cubs In the world series. There just hasn't been any suctu I'm beginning to get a bit worried, especially in view of the absent-minded ten dencies shown by Coaches Keene and Maple in recent weeks. The 'Cats are supposed to dedicate a humtlddy new stadium at Santa Barbara tomorrow night but the last rumor heard here was that the new plant might not be fin ished in time for the dedication game. However that is but hear say, and even should it be true it Is a cinch the two teams will play. If not In the new stadium, on one of the hundreds of other turfed gridirons that deck southern Cal ifornia. - Gauchos Good Sized. On their season's record to date those Gauchos of Santa Barbara wouldn't appear to be too tough. The Spud Harder roached collegians lost to Occi dental their first time out, 6-0, downed Colorado State 13-0 and lost last weekend to the University of San . Francisco Dons 14-0. The Gancho squad is as generously sprinkled with sophomores as is the Bearcat roster with freshmen. San Francisco scribes, however, tell of a potentially strong team especially potent in reserve strength. The Gauchos have a line that averages 104 pounds . per' man, slightly heavier than the 'Cat forwards, and a back field averaging 175 pounds per leather lugger. Xo backfield quartet that Keene can call upon will match the Dons for weight. Speed and versatility that may be another matter. Overhead-Minded. In Two-Ton' Terrence Don- telly, center who tips the beam at 230 pounds, soap-reaching stage, the Gauchos have a place-kicker par excellent, 'tis claimed. The Gauchos use forward passes free ly, which forewarns : of another busy afternoon for a pass-defen sively weak Bearcat crew. Full back Forrest' Gardenhire does most of the pitching, aided by his Immediate replacement, Pelrlno Merlo. For catchers there are Bill Jessup and Larry Pickens, ends. and Bill- Mc Arthur and Jack Smith, halfbacks. Pickens is a gi ant negro, whose heft is 195 pounds, bedside weight. Along side Pickens in the line is anoth er big ebony, Melvin Dennis. He weighs 205 and is said to be a powerful blocker, particularly strong on defense. Thank good ness these two big. blacks work from the left side of the Gaucho line and therefore will be pitted against the right side of the Bear cat forward wall, undoubtedly the stronger side.

I . t 1 : Noisy Shortstop Does not Like Bambino; Killefer , to Be one Coach NEW YORK, Oct. 12-P)-Uppy" eo Durocher, the out- talkingest shortstop in either ma jor league, was signed today to manage the Brooklyn Dodgers next season, succeeding .the old pitcher, Burleigh Grimes. Durocher accepted under sad circumstances. His father, George Durocher, died Monday midnight in West Springfield, Mass., and Leo hurried here only to announce his plans before returning for the funeral tomorrow. "It it were not for that, this would be about the happiest mo ment in my life." he told assem bled newsmen.! "Dad has always said he would I live to see me a big league "manager, but he did n't." There was -another unhappy feature. Babe Hutu goes out of baseball, this time probably for good. In naming his two coacnes, Charlie Dressen and Bill Killefer, nnnwher said i the. bambino had not "been available" for a coach ing Job. 1 "I can back that up," said Gen eral Manager j Larry MacPhalL "The Babe was considered, along with Jimmy Wilson, but he has big league managerial aspirations. I can tell you also that, he has had several chances to manage minor league teams." Quarrel Recalled The Babe, after coming out of retirement the past mid-season to coach at first ! base for the sev enth - place Dodgers, attracted bumper crowds. He and Durocher had a spat one day in the club house, probably costing Ruth whatever chance he may have had to manage the 'team next year. Dressen, one of the new coach es, managed the Cincinnati Reds last season. He piloted Nashville to second place in the southern association this year. Killefer. great catcher of other days. Just finished driving his Sacramento team to victory in the Pacific Coast league playoff. At 33, Durocher becomes the second youngest manager in the big show. Joe Cronin of the Bos ton Red Sox was 32 today. Noted for his slick fielding and the noise he generates, DurocHer broke into big league ball as a regular with the Yankees in 1928 under Miller Huggins. ! 1 Pecarovich Abed With 2 Ailments SPOKANE.

I - ' Latest move to fill the gap, created when the six auarter backs on the squad developed an epidemic of injuries, has been the attempted conversion of a pair of linemen. Harold Biles, 170-pound Bee team tackle, and Bill Butte, reserve first . team tackle, who also weighs 170 and is an aggressive youngster, have been getting an opportunity to work at the post. Owens May Get Nod Roger Quackenbush, who - has been surplanted at the right half role by Bill Shinn took a crack at the maiming quarterback job and he bobbed up with a knee injury that put him temporarily on crutches. As a result Hauk also has been searching for an alternate for Shinn, and will probably give the nod to Johnny Owens, 118-pound speedster. Hauk "plans to take three full teams on the short Albany Jaunt. While the Bulldogs were suc cessful in holding Tillamook to a tie only last week, a team the Vikings massacred 32-0, it is understood the Bulldogs are lay ing for the local preppers. ; Bowling Willamette Valley Transfer won two games over Fleener Electric, Woodburn Rotary won two over Standard Oil, Central Garage won two over Parrlsh, Portland Gas won three straight over Eyerly Aircraft and Parrlsh Barbers went straight against Nelson Bros.
