SECOND SECTION SPORT NEWS VOLUME XXVI UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1924 NUMBER 1 COAST ELEVENS RATED STRONG Stanford and Huskies are Slated to Finish Well Up In Coast Conference ALL TEAMS PROMISING When the leading 'eight colleges on the coast start their grid teams on the pennant chase, the Pacific coast football fans are going to see the best season that the west has experienced for some time. Not only will the teams be fairly well matched but they will play a brand of foot ball that is rarely seen. An added impetus for the higher grade of football is the addition of four new coaches in the western colleges. They are Joe Maddock at the University of Oregon; Pop Warner at Stanford University, Click Clark at Montana and Paul Schissler at 0. A. C. Outside of Oregon and California, the majority of the grid squads on the coast have lost only a handful of lettermen. When considering all the pre-season dope 'and after weighing the strength of the con ference teams, it looks very much as if the reign of California will end this year, but as to the suc cessor it is merely a toss-up be tween three or more schools as to who will annex the title as western football, champions. The squads appearing as formidable pennant material are Washington, Stanford and U. S. C. with Idaho anl Cali fornia looming in the background. At this stage of the season, the strength of Oregon, and the Aggies (Continued on Page Three) Steaks and Toast Feature on Menu Of Training Table _ Toast eating ohampionships were broken almost every day week before last at the football training table in the banquet room of the College Side Inn. Twenty big pullman loaves of bread about two feet long were cut up and toasted every day for the nourishment of Joe Mad dock's lustry gridiron warriors. The boys piled into the toast and butter like it was cake and pink tea. Only - the evening meal was served at the training table which was dis continued for last week. The first week started September 15 and lasted until September 21. It will be re sumed again next week. The menu consists of a hard boiled inflexibly routine of steak—big piping hot serloin, buttered toast, a pint of milk, and baked potato with Boston baked beans and some kind of pudding—bread or rice, without any extra frills. Tbqy alto have some kind of vegetable salad—most often tomato. If one takes a look at the weight chart up in the dress ingn room it appears like this food helped some of them to gain weight. They all like the food for the table looks as bare as the great Sahara desert when the forty-five huskies get through with the meal. The meal is served in a cross be tween the plate and family style. Each man has a big steak on his plate before him with a baked po tato; his pint of milk and salad be side his plate. Big heaping plates of buttered toast and baked beans complete the outlay. One time in the past we#k the waiters let the men in before their steaks were put on the table. When they came in again everything else was eaten up. The early season prac tices engendered an appetite among the men that was well nigh unsatis fiable.

OREGON FACES STIFF SCHEDULE ME HOOPERS TO BE NUCLEUS Latham, Schafer, Chapman, Rockhey, Graduate PRACTICE STARTS SOON Year by year basketball has been assuming more importance among the list ot major intercollegiate sports. Especially in the East and Middle West have the college games been patronized by thousands in their immense basketball pavilions, constructed for that sport. The race for the conference title on the coast here was very close last year, with the teams very evenly matched. This coming season prom ises to be even more hotly con tested, as nearly all of the confer ence members look to be even; stronger than last year. It should be a big year in the annals of Coast basketball. Oregon was in the running in last year's hoop race until the middle of the season when injuries broke up the team throwing it out of it’s winning stride. Coach Reinhart in looking for-ward to the lineup of this year’s quintet will have to re place the lengthy, phenomenal, (Continued on Page Two) Coach Maddock Drills Varsity On Basic Points Disciple of ‘Hurry-up’ Yost Works Fast Joe Maddock is football coach at the University of Oregon. This every >ne knows. But there are a great do not know Joe Maddock himself, just how he works, and just, what he turns out. In the first place Maddock is a pro duct of the famous “Hurry-Up Yost,’’ of Michigan. This is noticeable at once. His men are on the move all the time, all during practice, and he makes them [move fast. In, the second place, Mad dock knows football. and he believes his men should play football every minute of every fame. So the new coach set about at >nce to build his football team from the ground up. Fundamentals, fun damentals, tackling, blocking, pas ting, kicking, these things his men were put to work at last spring, and the drill continued with the first practice this fall.
