Bulky Warriors From South Are Sent Home Conquered by Light, Green Team of Scrappers. MIRACLE IS DUE TO BEZDEK Coach Gets His Men on Edge for Contest—Steers, Med •ley, Maison Stars. (Continued from page one) totichdown. Steers kicked goal each tirne, and the quarter ended with the lemon-yellow leading by 14 points. It was in thC next period that Oregon succeeded in scoring on California for the third time, showing clearly that their triumph in the second period had not been occidental. The hall was ad vanced down the field by line bucks by Counch and Steers, and by forward passes, Steers to Medley, until the oval was oil the seven-yard line. Then the ball was given to Medley, who carried it over. Steers kicked goal. Score, 21—0. Couch Saves Touchdown Himes, substituting for Hooper, broke into the game early in the fourth quar ter, tearing away for a 10-yard end run, which looked good for a Cali fornia touchdown, until he was over taken by Couch, on Oregon’s 25-yard line. It was the only time during the last three periods of the game that the Oregon goal was in danger. After the first period the ball was held well over toward the California goal. Three men by their brilliant piny placed their names on the athletic honor roil of the University for all time. 'They are Hill Steers, quarter; “Cod” Maison, end, and “Dot” Medley, halfback. 'They were the men who made the victory possible. Stoers Eloctrifios Crowd Steers, star for Oregon in all the games this season, played his best game of football, Saturday. Although falling down in his punting yardage, which was not badly needed in the California game, he was accurate in his three chances for goal kicks, electrified the 2500 fans re peatedly during the four periods of the game, by his open-field running and was seen to good advantage in ,he line bucks, and forward ^passing depart ments. Although he only shared the honors with Steers and Medley, Maison was perhaps the greatest surprise of the name. Maison took the field Saturday for his first game of eolloge football against the ISO-pound end of the Hold Hear squad. Maison weighs 1-10. Not withstanding this, Maison was a real star, perfectly at home on the gridiron, breaking up California’s attempted end runs and forward passes, and in addi tion doing n little yardage work him self, intercepting two passes. And Maison, with all the rest of Hoxdek’s and Hayward’s men, remained in the game from start to finish. No substi tutions were made for Oregon another tribute to Hill Hayward, trainer. Cali fornia made five. Medley Does Hood Work "Dot" Medley, halfback, completes Oregon’s triumverate of stars. Med ley, like Maison. had little football e\ perienee when he went in the game to face the heavy Californians. However, he soon developed as Steers' chief ally in the forward passing department of a game, which early turned out to be an ariel game. Whenever yardage was necessary for Orcgoiy tl<e Steers to Medley route was eft active. Medley was also active in the line bucks. Me secured two of the three Oregon touchdowns, once h> a seven-yard line rush, and again by carrying the hall for .'10 yards gain, lifter receiving a forward pat from Steers. llili Hayward’s statement that “the eleven men of the Oregon team are the ; eleven great surprises in the football world.” speaks for the rest of Oregon’s fighting lineup. Because of the repu tation of the more experienced and heavier California line, more than usual interest was placed on the Oregon line- | men in Saturday’s game. For the first . time in two years, Bezdek changed his | style of play for the lineup, and in- , structed his linemen to lie down in the ; line, before the attack of the heavy' j Californians. Using this method Bez dek was able to make a line that could not be penetrated even after repeated attempts by Andy Smith’s giants. In the offensive play the Oregon line, with. Maddock, Macey, Leslie, Berg, Nelson, ! Wilson and Maison, was far superior to i the Californians in charging the line I and opening up holes for the brickfield. 1 After the game Sam Dolan, of O. A. ! C., and for years a referee at Northwest j conference games, said: Bezdek’s Work Revelation i “I have seen Oregon play xueir Rentes in the early part of the season this year, and I know what material Bezdek had to work with, to develop his present team. What I saw in the California game is a revelation to me. There is not another coaeh in the country that could do Bezdek’s work for this year. With practically nothing to start with, Bezdek has made a real team and that, too, in one season.” Bezdek, along with the fans, who witnessed the game, and the student body, expressed surprise at the end of the game. For, while few of the stu dent body itself, expected defeat, not even the fondest Oregon man expected such an overwhelming victory. “I can’t believe it,” said the coach. “It was the Oregon fight, but it is beyond me. I never saw such fight before.” For the first time this year, the old Oregon spirit of the days before “war college” was back on the campus. Hoot ers turning out, believing that the real Oregon spirit “that is stronger under defeat and adversity” was sorely needed at the game. Under the direction of the .veil king staff, assisted in several yells by Don Orpnt, graduate aul for mer yell leader, the rooters showed well that they had that spirit. They held it until the surprise of easy victory set them wild. Shock For Californ’a That California is undergoing with the Oregon students, Coach Bezdek, and the people of Oregon, a period of surprise over the total collapse of the dope sheet, is videnced by a dispatch printed in the Kan Francisco Chronicle, just be I fore the game, predicting that Oregon would lose by at least three touch downs, if the field was not muddy, hin dering th(> Californians, who were used to playing on a turf field. And that is another point which must not he forgotten in considering Ore gon s victory. The field was in almost Perfect shape, and about as fast a gridiron as is possible for Oregon.

FRESHMAN GIRLS MAY BE BARRED FROM ’VARSITY One-Year Rule Discussed by Women’s Basketball Team; Payment of Dues Postponed. Whether the freshman girls should be allowed to piny on the Varsity bas ketball team, was discussed at a meet ing of thp Women's atheltie association, held in the Women’s gymnasium on Tuesday. Speakers both in favor and against, spoke, those in favor of allowing the freshmen to play, said that the best material should be on the Varsity team, regardless of whether it was found in the freshman class or in the upper classes, and that freshmen might not be able to go longer than their fresh man year, and that they should have as many advantages as possible, while here. Those on the o, '/osite side, held the opinion that to make the Varsity team next year, should be an inspiration for the freshmen, but as this is the first year, when we expect to play inter scholastic games, that the upperclass men and sophomores, who have been here longer should have the first chance. Voting on the question, however, was postponed till the next meeting. As a “war measure,” the payment of dues to the association, to which one must belong, before he can play on the class teams, was postponed until the second term, as it was thought that some people now were giving every cent they could spare, to the Friendship fund, and could pay their dues more conveni ently later. Mary Mathis was elected as reporter for the association, Nancy Fields, cus todian, and Frances Elizabeth Baker, as head of baseball. COMMERCE CLUB TO HEAR BOOTH-KELLY MANAGER A. C.

Half Are University Men The second class in Ordnance account ing started its work rt the School of Commerce yesterday, with the full membership of the class responding to roll call.

Mr. Wild will also conduct a class in ordnance paper work.

When last Saturday’s Homecoming ! dance had barely gotten under way and j the beautifully gowned maidens and fair j men begun to assemble in the spacious I armory, in readiness to trip the light fantastic, in order to rid themselves of a super-abundance of Oregon spirit, the president of the University, accompanied by Mrs. Campbell, entered the room, to take their places in the receiving line, j The desire to have a full program, and ' thus insure a good time, however, seem ed to keep most of these present busily occupied, and consequently the highest official received less than usual atten tion from the vast mob. However, he was not to be entirely forgotten. There was one who noticed that President Campbell had arrived, one who is known by the frosh as “High Mogul.” namely, none other than Joe Hammersley, president of the first year clnss. This one member of the large throng did not announce to the assemblage the arrival of the head of the receiving line no. Instead being sadly depressed due to a lack of success in search of a com mon article of everyday use. he rushed madly up and wildly cried. “Please, Mr. Campbell, you d'dn’t by any chance' happen to bring an extra pencil did you?” The president turned around, and when j he saw the source of the question ex- ! claimed. “No. I’m sorry that I did not. I had j intended to, but it completely slipped my j mind." DUNN’S BAKERY — For — GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
