tage, Comparison Of
Players On Both
Teams Shows
Oregon’s lineup which will enter
the game against Andy Smith’s so
called “wonder team” is going to
stack up just about on a par if
not better than the famlous team.
The Bears have no great advantage
over the Webfooters. , The Iteam
fumbles, pulls "loners,” and was
defeated two weeks ago. It is far
from the great superhuman ma
chine which imagination paints.
A comparison of the ends shows
no great difference except that Cal
ifornia has three sets of equal
calibre. Boufgerv and Mell will
probably enter the game. Both are
fast but small. Bob Mautz, is tall
er, faster, heavier, and has had two
years experience. Sherm Smith on
the other side is the fighter of the
team. He is as fast, beyond a
doubt, as any of the Golden Bear
ends, and he knows football. . Dr.
Albert Boles stated that Oregon
ends are as good as California’s.
Tackles opposing Andy Smith’s
line wi« be A1 Sinclair and Bert
Kerns. Both are as heavy as Sar
gent and Cock, their opponents.
Sargent and Cock, with Coltrin and
Green in reserve are lanky and,
heavy, weighing between 180 and
185 pounds. They are built rangy
like Sinclair. Both Kerns and Sin
clair are as experienced and cap
able as they. As far as beef, speed
and football brains are concerned
there is no difference. Warren and
Dixijn, in reserve are new and un
tried.
Gene Shields and Ken Baily,
guards, are opposing two big,
heavy and rangy men. Carey and
Couper, Bau, Kiswander, and Har
vey will be in reserve. Shields
has had three years of line work
and is perhaps the most experi
enced linesman on the job. Ken
Bailey is light and short, but the
fastest man on the line, not ex
cepting the ends. Socolofsky, Bliss,
and Harden are the new men at
the position.
Carl Johnson, has a tougl> job on j
his hands in Miller, the California
center, who is as big and as heavy
as the guards and tackles.
The weight of the Oregon baek
field far exceeds that of the Gold
en Bears. Two fast halves, Wet
zel and Vitus, who are close to
ten-second men off the gridiron,
combine weight with speed. Both
weigh over 180 pounds and are hard
hitting line plungers, besides good
runners. Tut Imlav, Dixon, Grif
fin, and Perrin, all medium-sized,
but as shifty as greased lightning.
It is doubtful that they are as
fast as the Oregonians, and they |
are not as good plungers as Wetzel
or Vitus. They are more experi
enced, however.
Anderson at quarter, opposes ex-,
ceptional field generals in Blewett
and Carlson. Louie is playing his j

VARSITY SHOWS
FIGHTING SPIRIT
FOR REAR GAME
Hard Practices Result In
Rhythm and Snap; Men
Are Primed For Battle
Smith Announces Lineup;
Veterans To Start Game;
Bench Full of Reserves
Morale!
The thing that the varsity has
lacked so far this season has come
this week,, and the machine that
failed in the first two games lias
changed to a combination that is
filled with determination to win.
A noticeable rise in the spirit
of the study body is evidenced in
the activity of the team now that
the entire University is demanding
a winning team. Gone are the days
of “good losers.” combinations that,
held the opposition to low scores,
and teams that entered the game
defeated. Alibis are discarded, and
the coaching staff confident of not
merely holding the Golden Bears
but of winning.
The team is out to win. The
players have been cracking it hard
and heavy this week. A change of
attitude has made it hard going for
the freshmen teams that have had
to meet a vicious varsity in scrim
mage for three days in the past
week.
The team is working now with
perfect rythm. There is a certainty
of movement that has never been
seen before. New plays are snappy.
Drill after drill has been run
through for three hours each day
on plays, so that the men are now
running through them in excellent
form.
Out* of the cloud of mystery that
has shadowed Hayward field all
this week the secret processes will
come the result on Saturday ,of
the week’s intensive work on new
east gate of the north stand on
19th and Morrison streets. It is
necessary for all students to have
their football tickets before leav
ing Eugene. Tickets are on sale at
the Co-op.

NATIONAL SECRETARY
Miss Elsie Heller," national Y. W.
C. A. secretary, addressed the fresh
men eommision at their first meet
ing at the Y. W. C. A. hut at four

ular of the interest taken by for
eign students and industrial work
ers in the United States.
The meeting was conducted by

campus.'

I—I EKE are some of the men who
will determine whether /the
Golden Bear is really a hear, or
only a hear story. Louie Anderson
and Sherman Smith will attempt to
force the latter view upon the visi
tors from the south. “Tut” Xmlay
and Boh Griffen are among the
Californian horde that is loathe to
accept this view, so a rather rough
argument is expected.
Oregon Demands That California
Be Humbled In Tomorrow’s Game
By The Editor
rT"'HE TIME has come for Oregon to step out and demand
victories. “Victory” and not “Hold ’em Oregon!”
must be the battle cry if the University is to achieve athletic
success.
Give heed to a quotation from a San Francisco paper.
“The game will be played at Portland Saturday and will
come as a welcome diversion to the Bruins after their hard
battle against the Olympic club and St. Mary’s . . . Cali
fornia figures to win by four or five touchdowns at least—”
That’s what they think of Mighty Oregon in California;
that’s what our ‘hold ’em Oregon’ attitude has accom
plished . . . “Welcome diversion”—a good wrorkout for
the California boys!
There’s such a thing as being too good a loser; and Oregon
is a classic example. For the past several college genera
tions Oregon has been suffering in her athletics from the
‘good loser complex’ . . . Lose a game—no matter—
jprbbably win another—oan’t expect to .wfn.ill .t^^time—just,
so the score isn't too "big That's Qregon spirit as'
it stands today. We are too willing to be losers!
Of course Oregon’s honor will not be lost tomorrow if
the team is defeated. As long as good sportsmanship and
‘fight to the finish’ prevails the HONOR of the University
will be secure.
But remember this—you Sons of Oregon. Football as we
play it, demands Victory. Oregon, as a member of the
Pacific Coast conference is expected to be a powerful con
tender for the crown. That means victories, and not ‘re
spectable showings.’
So, away with the alibi attitude—this faint hearted
complaisance! Oregon has a splendid athletic tradition to
back up the conviction that Oregon teams, straining to the
utmost, are not defeated. Remember the Harvard and Penn
sylvania games? Oregon went out to win.
Oregon of old demands that Oregon of the moment be
not satisfied with a ‘good showing,’ or ‘a good scrap.’ Ore
gon of old—-the Oregon that was reared on triujnphs—Re
mands a victory and nothing less.
