MIRACLE IS DUE TO BEZDEK

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.

Here’s one for the Book!
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."
