OREGON IS FIFTH IN CONFERENCE COLUMN (Continued from page 1.) who was stricken with mumps for two or three weeks right off the reel, and a green squad of about twenty as a nucleus for a conference team, with which to play veteran teams like Washington, which did not lose a man. Combined with this handicap, Dud ley’s Toss and Sharpe’s going stale made the job doubly difficult. Oregon played cleaner ball this year than ever before. The old mot to, “Hang ’em on the wall,” has been banished and faster ball succeeded to the place. Next year promises to be brighter for Oregon in this activity. Only one man, Tom Boylen, will be lost to the team, and Washington loses its main stays.
