WE WANT TOUCHDOWNS! f\REGON sports followers have an unusual experience this fall—watching a team with a real offense. Coach McEwan has always had a scoring team, as is proven by his record at West Point. ITis 1925 team whipped Notre Dame 27 to 0, among other feats. The 44- points piled up against Willamette last Saturday is the largest score made by an Oregon team since 1921, when the Webfooters invaded the Hawaiian Islands and found easy pickings. Unless all predictions fail, Pacific is in for even a worse drubbing next Saturday, which will give the Oregonians a larger point total than they usually make in an ordinary season. Occasionally a scoring team strikes a snag, but an old foot ball maxim is that a good offense is the best defense, and a combination that can run up points can afford to overlook a few sundry touchdowns that may be collected by opponents. The Oregon attack is very sound, combining plenty of good old fashioned power plays with the newest deception combin ations. McEwan has powerful line plungers and a husky set of forwards to open holes, but also has speedy and brilliant open field runners to vary his style of attack. Spinners, re verses, criss-crosses, and sweeping end runs are plentifully interspersed with solid bulks through center and over the tackles. A team with variety in attack and the ability to advance the ball is always popular.—II. W. M. SHAKE ON IT, PREXY ir*R. ARNOLD BENNETT HALL, Oregon’s new president, ^ has expressed himself as Heartily in favor of intercollegiate athletics, and thus has cleared up what doubt that may have lurked in the minds of the dubious. “Intercollegiate athletics are a part of the school system and at the present time seem almost indispensable,’ Dr. Hall told an interviewer recently. “Just as 1 think that Oregon should be at the top scholastically, I think it should be at the top athletically.” ON TO PORTLAND! A RM1ES travel on their stomachs, and football teams advance ^ upon publicity. It is safe to say that the coming Oregon Washington football game at Portland has received more pub licity than any sporting event ever staged in the Northwest and will continue to receive plenty up to game time. The new stadium in Portland, the securing of Captain McEwan, Univer sity Week in Portland, and many other features have conspired to interest all followers of sports news. From present indica tions, the game itself will be a real classic and comparable to the hardest battles ever staged between these two historic and friendly rivals. HELLO, CADETS The vacation trip of Roy Okerberg and Harry Coffin to the eastern tennis championships, while not highly successful in the number of victories wron, set a precedent in pioncei ing, and more invasions of the east by Oregon athletic teams are anti cipated. A football game between West Point and Oregon is a possibility for next year, and the basketball team, if it can duplicate or excel the record made last year, is deserving of a journey to the national championships. * # # One thing that a visitor to Oregon’s practice sessions in variable comments on is the smallness of the turnout. At pies ent, it is a rare day that finds 10 candidates on hand. Compare this to the California colleges with turnouts of almost 200, Wis consin with 11)5 for spring practice, and numerous other uni versities and colleges throughout America. II. W . M. Abercrombie Hopes For Winning Water Squad This Winter With but two lettermeii missing, hopes are high for a winning swim tiling team next winter. Hob Gard ner and Albert Sinclair are the mermen lost. Ktl Aborerombio has earned his spurs as a eoaeh and has a good lino on his material. In j addition, several ineligibles of last year have cleared their deficiencies. ] The team also has a trip to Cali fornin coining up as dual meets are , scheduled with Stanford and the ! University of California for Febru ary 31 and 12. Two meets with O. A. C. and another with Multnomah are listed. Practice for the entire squad with the exception of the rivers will start November 1. The latter will start work next week. | A tentative team for the coming season is: 550-yard freestyle: HoggjB and Larsen. Dives: Ttyerlv, lliggs and Thump son. 100-yard freestyle: Hoggs, Lar 1 sen and Sheridan. 200 yard breaststroke: McGregor licli ami Reid. 150-yard backstroke: Kior and Dixon. 220-yard breaststroke: McGregor and Fletcher. Medley: McCook, Kier and Smith. Relay: Boggs, Larsen, McCook and Sheridan. Boggs, Byerly, McCook and Me Gregor are lettermen; Thompson, Larsen, Greulich, Dixon, and Fletch er are sophomores; Kier and Sheri dan were “black sheep” last win ter; and Smith, and Reid were on the squad. The demise of Ed Fin ley, freshman backstroke artist, up set Abercrombie’s calculations, as the youngster showed all kinds of promise. Bear Boxing Head Is yet Undefeated I'N IV KUNITY OF CALIFORNIA. Sammy Gold, University of Cali fornia boxing captain, and incident ally brother of the more famous Jimmy Huffy, has never been de feated in any Untie encounter throughout his college career as a boxer. Hear Grid-mart Gets Final Citizen Papers c.m\ ounity of California.

Boxers and Tumblers Begin Fall Workouts; Many Smokers Planned Boring and tumbling lessons be gan last Monday. Those interested who have not'yet signed up should see Perry Davis, boxing coach, or report to the physical education of fice in the men’s gym. Workouts will be from four to six, three times a week, and a box ing team will be formed from the physical ability and regular class men. There will be plenty of good competition and chances to appear in contests for the members, Davis promises. “O. A. C. always maintains a full boxing team and there will be meets with Multnomah club, and the Elks clubs of Portland, Eugene and Corvallis, besides participation in smokers to be given during the year,” said Davis. “Each year calls for at least five trips if we have men who are in terested and good,” he said. Mr. Davis also has charge of the tumbling team w-hich has its work outs simultaneous with the boxing candidates, but on the second floor of the annex to the gym. He promises several public appear ances for those fellows, also, during the course of the year.

Grid Came Played at Night to Avoid Heat IWIYFRSITY OF CINCINNATI.; l'he University of Cincinnati foot-. hall team played its first 1926 game ; September 25 with Kentucky Wes j leyan in the evening to baffle the! heat wave. The tilt was called at I 7:o0, with illumination provided by ire lights sufficiently powerful to I permit the game being played with-; nit the usual ghost ball. The lights core installed both on the sides and j tbove the playing field to avoid shadows. An estimated crowd of 10,000 witnessed the contest. Web Jones Now On Oregonian As Sportswriter Student Active While on Campus as Writer and Statistician Web Jones, sports editor of the Emerald during the year of 1925-6, is now employed with the Morning Web Jones Oregonian of Portland in the sports department. Jones, in the course of his four years on the Ore gon campus, took a prominent part in campus activi ties, being at va rious times sports editor of “Old Oregon,” the “Oregana,” and later of the Emerald. He also won the Botsford-Constantine prize ad vertising contest last spring, held in the interest of advertising prob lems in the school of journalism. Jones earned considerable of a reputation here as a statistician and possessed several huge scrap books tilled with data on every known sport from golf to boxing which he had clipped from papers throughout the country. His particular hobby was football and he was well ac quainted with all phases of the grid situation on the Pacific coast. On The Oregonian he will follow out his statistical trend, keeping many records of the department. He also will handle considerable foot ball. Jones is filling the position va cated by Arden X. Pangborn who is now attending the University, for the Oregonian on the campus. Jones was affiliated with Pjni Kappa Psi, and a member of the Sportwritcrs association local jour nalism organization. Subscribe for the Emerald Swordsmen to Have Physical Education Majors in Classes Amid flying blades, aspirant Don ' Quixotes and D’Artagans will soon be cutting and slashing each other ] with vim and murder aforethought. More sword-fodder of male de clension will be on hand when the physical education majors take fenc ing as a part of their curriculum. Along with this addition to the sabre corps will necessarily come a i new order to some athletic equip ment company for more foils and other paraphernalia peculiar to fenc ing. Although not definitely ascertain ed, it is thought that O. A. C. and | Willamette university will put fenc ing teams in the running, and if so, fencing may be made a minor sport. If interest runs high enough, an inter-fraternity tourney among the boys with the red hearts on their chest protectors will be arranged and the campus tongs can root for their favorites while blood runs | thick and fast, in theory at least. As the winter term usually sees the height of the fencing season, not much is in prospect for a few months. Doubles Tournament Slated for Fall Term With four new handball courts in use at the Men’s gymnasium sore hands are in evidence among de votees of the sport. For a while last year, when there were only four, instead of the pres ent eight, the line of men waiting to play resembled a bread line after a hard winter. This fall a doubles tournament for organizations will be held and in the winter term a free-lance doubles and singles tournament will take place. Next to swimming, handball was the most popular sport for physical ability men and from advance dope it looks as though a large number will take it this year. f pgr the hang (^nybust’em [Nam* Copyrighted] jc!esu PartkoJ CteatocBofCocduroy Trousers for the Western College Man Hi, Lads V \f Gels, Too WALLY’S W\ BACK V .
