TEAMS AWAIT WHISTLE; Washington Puts a Practically New Team on the Field This Year. (Continued from page one) when the average back would be stopped. Noble's running mate at left half was Bay Gardner until last Saturday when Gardner broke his collarbone. Ander son, a substitute for the position was carried from the field in the same game with a fractured leg. For this place Do bic has a choice between four or five men all of whom have been showing up about the same in practice. Logg, a sub lineman of last season; Briggs, Kerry, Campbell and Brandethaler, are possibil ities. TIainsworth, another sub lost year, has landed the fullback position out of o. host of candidates. He is much the same type of a player as Sliicl, bis pre decessor, being a consistent line-plunger. Not a spectacular man, lie is always ready when called upon to make the necessary distance. Dobie has unearthed a quarterback from Tacoma, “Ching” Johnson by name, who is proving a worthy successor to Smith nnd “Bud” Young. Built low to the ground, he can push and pull his way along with tacklers all around him. At running back punts, the Seattle papers say, he resembles “Ans” Cornell, being at his best in a broken field. The center job nas faiien to Lawrence Smith, a sophomore from the champion ship Broadway high team of Seattle. lie is a big husky of the type that usually fill the northerner’s lino. Vic Morrison nnd Seagraves hold down the guards nnd Morrison does the punting. Seagraves is one of Dobie’s most dependable men nnd is the only old man on the line who has played more than two years. A report from Seattle states that Mhrrison might not be allowed to play here due to low grades. If this should prove to be the ease Johnson would take enre of the punting. Ernest Murphy nnd Bill Grimm, the ln,tter of the famous Grimm family that hns done so much toward winning cham pionships for Dobie, are playing the tackles. Both are big, heavy men nnd hard to handle. In George Smith nnd Ted Faulk, Washington has duo of classy extrem OLD SCORES TO BE SETTLED Last U.oof O.-U. of W. Contest of 1914 Won by Washington, 10-0. (Continued from page one) to penetrate the Oregon defense for gains when the yardage meant touch downs. At no time during the game were Dobie's men inside Oregon’s 25-yard line. Washington started her scoring in the first five minutes of the first, quarter. Smith, quarterback on Dobie’s team, ne gotiated a field goal from the 30-yard line after a heartbreaking march down the field. The final score was hung up in the third quarter when Hunt, Wash ington end, received a forward pass from a fake punt formation and raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Smith kicked goal. Only once more during the game was the Ore gon goal in danger of further violation. In the third quarter a Washington back recovered a fumble and had pranced 35 yards before he was downed from be hind by an Oregon tackier. The stars of the battle were I’arsons end Beckett for the Oregonians and Shiel, Miller and Hunt for the Seattle warriors. Johnny Beckett, this year’s captain, was playing his second year at tackle for the varsity and consistently outpunted the toe artist of the northern institution. Parskms, the man evidently much feared this year by Dobie’s crew, was a consistent ground gainer, and a constant terror to the opposing for i,a rds. Oregon lias several men on the pres ent team that took pftrt in that memor able battle. Jake Risley played at cen ter, Snyder was seen at guard, Beckett at tackle, and Huntington and Parsons in the backfield.

Although the game was a victory for the purple and gold, the score does not show the real strength of the Oregon team. Both Cook, who played at guard, and Beckett had just recovered from sickness. Malarkey, star halfback, was out of the game and “Anse” Cornell was only in the game a few minutes before he was carried from the field with a badly sprained knee. Last season witnessed no game be tween the two institutions and this year’s contest marks the nrst chance for Oregon to avenge her defeat. Three years ago, on Multnomah field, in Portland, the teams fought a wonder ful 10-7 battle, in which Charley Smith, then untried, and acting for Bud Young, who had been injured, was the Washing ton idol. Wayne Sutton had scored the first Washington touchdown on a for ward pass, and Parsons had come back with a terrific line buck that carried him past the forwards and allowed him to evade the secondary men and wriggle his way to the tying score. In the last few moments of the game, unable to get the ball closer than within twenty yards of the goal, Smith dropped back, and, with infinite preparations, booted the ball between the posts for the winning tally of the game. It was truly a battle of giants, with the mighty toe of Fenton, offsetting the gains that AVashington was able to make on line plunging. Oregon Team Ready (Continued from page one) of the downpour in that they have a heavier team and depend more on straight line plunging to advance the leather. Both elevens use the direct pass system from the center to the back field which will make accurate handling of the ball a real problem. With weather conditions as they are a fumbled punt or a misdirected forward pass may mean a victory for either school. Washington money has ajreay found its way to the local cigar stores. The Seattle supporters are betting even money that Dobie’s men will win, and are offering odds of 5 to 3 that Oregon I RECORDS OF TEAMS TO DATE.

Dobie’s cohorts have .been in town since Friday afternoon and are quartered at the Hotel Osburn. Uncertainty yet reigns in their camp as to who will play left haJf back in place of Roy Gardner and Art Anderson who were severely in jured in the Whitman game last Satur day. Logg, last year’s pivot man, has been jerked to the backfield and has first call on the vacated niche. Dobie how- j ever is well supplied with subs, having brought 22 men with him. Bezdek has done little more than round off the team’s play the last few nights. Scrimmage ceased Wednesday night—fortunately without any eleventh hour injuries. Thursday and Friday nights the entire practice was devoted to signal drill in order to become familiar with the slimey oval. As the boys trotted to the showers Friday night Bez dek gave out his final assuring words to the fans. “The boys are ready—you can be sure they’ll give a good account of themselves.” Scores of Alumni (Continued from page one) The best part of the bleachers will be used by the students. Student body tick ets must be presented at the gate or the admission price will be charged. Jimmy Sheehy, chairman of the com mittee to secure the closing of all stores, reports great success, for the majority of the stores are closing during the game in order to let their employees attend. All students and alumni are invited to the dance in the armory which will be given for the alumni under the auspices of the junior class, says Joe Hedges, chairman of the dance committee. A reg istration booth has been placed in John son hall where the alumni can register, end where they will be given free tickets tc the dance, and to the reception which will be held in the armory between 7:30 and 8:30 p. m. under the auspices of the Eugene Alumni association.
