I Webfoot Sportoscope By RICHARD TT. STRING Sports Editor. Saturday\s game 'With tlio Uni versity of Idalio will mark the nineteenth (gridiron conflict be tween the Webfoots and Vandals. Football history between the two institutions began way back in 1001, when both elevens battled to a 0 to 0 tie. Since Hint time the Oregon ians have won 1.1 games, losing two and tieing for three. There seems to be something funny about Oregon’s thirteenth victory over the Vandals which was registered in 1022. It was in t*his year that the Lemon-yellow machine barely won, 3 to 0. Up to the thirteenth fracas an Oregon team ltad never lost a game to the Idaho •gridstors. After the thirteenth vic tory, Oregon went into another tie with the Vamdals, 0 to 0, in lj)23. The fall of 192-1 saw the Vandals score their first victory over the Webfoots. What score was it other than 13 to 0. This ail brings ns to the conclusion that the supersti tions cardinal numeral 13 which seems to have stopped Oregon string of victories*, scored Idaho’s first win, and recorded Oregon’s last win by a touchdown, 13 to 7, in 1920, lias been keeping the gods of victory from smiling on the Webfoots. Will Saturday’s contest see the breaking of the jinx 13? A peculiar feature marked Ore gon’s third victory over the Van dals in 1908. October 31, IPOS, saw an Oregon football team struggle to a 28 to 21 victory with only the aid of 10 players. The 'contest was termed the most sensational football game ever iseen in the Pacific Northwest. In 1908 Idaho had a veteran team; well versed in the old style of football. Oregon, on the other hand, had a green team and was under the tutelage of a new coach, Bob Forbes, former all American end from Yale. Idaho went into the game favorites to win by a large' score. The game seesawed back and forth until the middle of the second half when Oregon made two touch downs in quick succession. Bill Kiltz, one of Oregon’s, new ends, picked up a fumbled punt and ran 30 yards for a. tojuchdown. Two minutes later Clark, fullback, inter cepted a Idaho pass and raced 40 yards for the winning touchdown. It was just before these two touchdowns that the 10-man team comes into importance. Oregon had used its entire squad of 17 players, and when Bill Main, left tackle, roughed the Idaho punter he was ruled from the game. Oregon had no one to put in and Idaho would not permit the re-entering of some of the substitutes. It was after this, so the 'story goes, that the fa mous Oregon spirit flared to its heights and with 10 men the Web foots fought to victory. Bill Hayward, varsity track coach and former football trainer, well remembers that hectic struggle. “it, was a 1 t e r i Idaho refused to j allow us to make j substitutions for; the second time : that the Oregon players got maklj and won the game,” said Hay ward. According to Bill, a squad of 17 men was con sidered large be cause the ordi Bill Haywards nary football squad numbered (Continued on page three) Sheldon and Tuttle To Address Institutes Dr. H. D.

Prospects For Cinder Squad Appear Bright Coacli Hayward Pleased With Frosh Outlook In Oval Squad Freshman track prospects for the coming year look very rosy to Coaeli j Hayward. “This is the first time in ! tein years.” says the track mentor, 1 ! “that wo have had '.a really exeep i tional outlook for the frosh cinder • path aggregation.” So far there ; has been only a small turnout of the i yearlings from tlie large list of those who were prominent in high school athletics, but a second call for track aspirants will be given in : a day or two. Several preliminary events are on schedule in order to get the men injto yhape for ,;the cross-country [next spring. A series of interclass relays, ranging from the 440 to the mile are to be held early in the spring. Another event of universal interest will be the inter-fraternity relays, in which some keen rivalry is anticipated. This competition will also be held in the spring. The indoor track will be warmed all uvinter by the shoes of the sprinters, conditioning for spring meets. Indoor competition of var ious kinds will be held in order to keep the athletes in the best pos sible shape for the stiff opposition that is expected from other teams later in the year. The varsity squad will return [practically intact, and with two notable additions, besides much promising material. Beals, a miler from last year’s frosh squad, and Webb Hays, also a distance man from, the same aggregation, are ex pected to come through with stellar performances. Further track pre dictions cannot be made until the squads have had time to round into proper shape.

They also plan to take ad i vantage of their journey by writ-1 ing features on geography of the j I country over which they travel and ] i submit to the National Geographic j | magazine for publication. Thus > their spare time in travelling will ■ be occupied. - Anderson Succeeds Wardner on Council George Wardner, senior,'has re signed from the office of chairman j of the building committee of the I executive council because of lack i of time to do the work. Arthur Anderson, junior, has been appointed by Don Beelar to succeed Pirates Await Tussle With N.Y. Yankees Experts Think Team Which Wins Opening Game Series Winner Corsair Pitching Staff Looks to Be Strongest Ruth, Gehrig Swat Contest Promises Batting Treat (By United Press) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 5—The Cor sair craft, with diminutive I)onie Basil at the helm, is being carried into the 1027 World Series on the crest of a wave of confidence. The New York Yankees lament the possible loss of Herbie Pennock, their star southpaw pitcher, and feel far differently about the forthcoming fray than they did a day ago. Ray Kremer, stocky 200 pounder, Pittsburgh, will have to be depended upon for victory, in the all-important opening game. He is fit and ready to start battling Yankee batsmep about one thirty Wednesday afternoon. Odds 10-9 for Yanks The furtive-eyed gentlemen who fix the official betting odds in the corridors of the old Fort Pitt hotel will lay you no better than nine to 10 against the chances of the Pi rates in this first contest. And baseball experts from far and near are agreed that in this instance the club which wins the opening game will win the World’s championship of 1927. The Pittsburgh Pirates, save for a couple of weak spots, can be es timated honestly as a great ball club. • Prestige which the New York Yanks acquired in their runaway victory in the American league per haps has dimmed the perception of a majority to the perfection of the Pirates. With the arrival in Pittsburgh to day of the hardy perennials of post season series the balance of opin ion iwhicli at first seemed over whelmingly to favor the Yanks has swayed back until it seems that the ball club led by Donie Bush is re garded fis having an excellent chance. Pirate Pitchers Excell In point of actual effectiveness of averages based upon earned runs rather than games won and lost, the wise old heads of baseball point out the Pirate pitching staff excells that of the American league cham pion. In the heat of the world series strife, they continue, the left side of any infield is more important than the right—and certainly “Pit” Traynor and Glenn Wright com prise a far sounder defense than Joe Dugan and Mark Koenig. In the matter of catchers, Pitts burgh rates better than New York. In the outfield, providing Babe Ruth does not carry his home run fever into the scries, there is little advantage on either side, for Paul and Lloyd Waner and Phlegmatic Clyde Barnhart are a trio of ball players quite capable of holding their own with any opposition. A switch in opinion of this sort, even where one ball club has been considered to be enjoying every advantage, is by no means unusual. Baseball men who have something upon which to base their opinions frequently are slow (to express them. Pitchers Compared it is the more hysterical, intlu-1 enced type of fan who lias devoted his time to shouting that the New York Yanks have such a strong at tack that they cannot be put out. The old timers come into Pitts burgh with somewhat maturer opin ions. An unprecedented demand for series tickets for the Pittsburgh games is ample evidence of local be lief that these forthcoming cham pionship games will be well worth watching. Wise baseball men declare that; sentiment which favors the Yanks, overlooks the old adage that good j pitching more often than anything else wins world series. One has only to draw a simple comparison of the respective pitch ing staffs: The Yankees—Waite Hoyt, Wiley Moore, Herb Pennock, i Urban Shocker and Bob Shawkey; ! The Pirates—Bay Kremer, Carmen Hill, Vic Aldridge, Lee Meadows ; and John Miljus. The Pirates, these same wise base ball men declare, are stronger in j the box. What price a couple stray home runsj then ? First Wednesday Tea Of Woman's League In Alumni Hall Today The setting for the first, of the weekly Wednesday teas sponsored by the Woman’s league is laid in Alumni hall, the time placed from I -t to 6 o’clock today, with .those taking part to include all the wo men of the campus. Although the teas are regularly given on the sun porch of the Wo man 's building, this initial affair, which is to compliment jointly Bean Virginia Judy Esterly, Miss Dorothy Thomas, new Y. W. 0. A. secretary, and Therese Ohambell and, foreign scholar, wijl be formal ly set in Alumni hall with school clothes in vogue for the occasion. In the receiving line will be the honor guests, Esther Hardy, presi dent of the Woman’s League, and Helen Webster, chairman of the Big Sister committee.

Hall Delivers Two Addresses At Tillamook Belter Government Is One Of Important Phases Of Education Tillamook, Ore., Oct. 4.— (Special) —“The fundamental problem of constructive patriotism in America today is to establish new) inlets to the basie social instincts of jhhe voter, so that his response to prob lems of peace will be' us effective and virile as his response to war,” declared Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University of Ore gon, who delivered two addresses before the Teachers’ Institute of Tillamook county today. In the interests of better govern ment, which Dr. Hall holds to be one of the most important phases of education, boys and girls should be made familiar with the workings of legislative and laiw enforcement bodies. Those subjects should be made interesting and human to the yoluth, so that interest and ambi tion may be aroused. Dr. Hall touched on psychology in his talks, pointing out that “school spirit” could be used effectively in developing a better Americanism, and stressing the fact that instincts of people play a large part in their attitude and behavior. A plea for teaching of such sub ject's of history on an intellectual basis, rather than on a fancy scale in which glamour plays a 'largo part, was miade by Dr. Hall. The, work that George Washington did during his life can be made far more interesting to the student than the mere assertion that “ Washing ton never told a lie,” it was stated. Children should be taught to honor and admire national heroes, but this 'admiration should be wholesome, ju'st and honest. President Hall will return to the campius today. Sam Kinley Announces Oregana Business Men Sam Kinley, business manager of the 1927-28 Orogana, today an nounced the appointment of Herbert Lewis as associate business mana ger, and also of some other members of the managerial staff.

Houses who wish to compete for the prizes arc unged to have their subscriptions lined up before the time arrives if they wish to make speed. A cup was awarded the winning fraternity last year, but the managers believed it best to give something more practical this fall. Webfoot Authorized Wobfoot was authorized to bo published at the University of Ore gon in the spring of 192(1, after a thorough investigation rvas made into whether or not a magazine of this sort was wanted om the campus. It was shown that it would fill a place in the University publications by giving students a chance to have their feature and creative writing aind art work published. The first issue was published at homecoming time last fall, and was followed by fivo more during the school year, two each term. The magazine drew much favorable com ment from persons on the camjVns and other publications throughout the country. Although itn its first year, it was said to bo as good as many of the older eastern publica tions. Material Re-printed By having material re-printed all aver the country, the Webfoot brought much publicity to the Uni versity. National and college maga zines printed the drawings and writings of Rolf Klep, Harriet At chinson, Donald Johnston, Arthur Schoeni, Paul Luy, Joe Sweyd and Mary K. Johnston. Paul Luy, senior in journalism, is the editor of the Webfoot this year. Mr. Luy has been connected with most of the college publica tions since he entered the Univer sity. Last year h<^ was conductor of the Seven Seers column of the Oregon Daily Emerald, and a mem ber of the staffs of the Oregana, Old Oregon and Webfoot. Subscriptions $1.25 Subscriptions for the Webfoot will be sold this year for $1.25 for the six issues of the year.

Last Saturday the pair were play ing at. a. small-town dance way back in the sticks. Reynolds is what is known ns a eoncussionist and Sexton plays a saxophone. After the dance, Reynolds tried to get the cover .for his drums but a travelling show troupe was oc cupying the room where hi' had put it and refused to give it. to him. To strengthen his argument, the leader, of Italian extraction, pro duced a revolver and thrust it, in the abdomen of Mr. Sexton. Sexton, a debater for the frosli last year, argued his prettiest but I the gun spoke in louder tones so our heroes departed past haste. At last reports the Italian still had Reynolds’ case. Physical Ability Test Announced For Saturday Red Cross Life - Saving Instruction Course Now Open IT. A. Ga\vhev, of tlio physical education department, who has charge of the men’s physical ability tests, announced today that the next P- A. test will bo given on October 8. All.men wishing to take this test are urged to sign up )o,n the bulletin board in the men’s gym within the next few days. Those wishing to practice the different events in the pentathlon may do so gym this morning. About twelve classes are not using the floor. The regular classes are held at 9, 10 land 11 o’clock id the morning, and at '2. ,1 and 4 in the afternoon. Delbert Obcrteuffcr, head of the men’s department, intimated that a little preliminary practice will not come amiss. “My opinion,” said Mr. Oberteuffor, “is that this P. A. tost is pretty tough. The hardest event seems to be tlio swimming. You arc required to swim four lengths of the tank on your stomach and one length on your back in 2 minutes and 25 seconds, which is pretty good time, particularly after performing all tlio other events which come first.” All men who pass this tost are allowed to choose the sport in which they wish to specialize, and they may take their three hours of phy sical education at any time during the week that they find most con venient. An opportunity will be given dur ing the fall and spring terms for men to take Red Cross life-saving tests. One of the principal require ments of theso tests is that tlio per son taking them shall have had from six to ten weeks of supervised in struction. Dor this reason «.ll men wishing to take these tests are urged to report to Mr. Gawher and arrange for the course of instruc tion. Three kinds of tests are offered. They are: the junior life-saving- test 'for ages from 12 to 17, the senior life-saving tost for aiges from 17 to 21, and the examiner test for all above 21. The junior test consists of a plain front dive, a racing front dive, the breaking of three differ ent strangle holds, four kinds of carries for a distance of 30 feet, four different strokes, one and one half minutes of resuscitation, a six ! foot dive for a 10-pound weight, treading water for ione minute, floating, and disrobing and swim ming 100 yards. In the senior test 'the distances are nearly all doubled land a fireman’» lift and carry must ' lie demonstrated. The examiner test is so severe that very few men are able to pass it. Among other ! things the person taking the test must write a thesis on life-saving I resuscitation. AH tests art; held °i'no ; the .tank at the men’s gvm. __ Tom McGinnis Works For Jantzen Company Mr. Thomas McGinnis, graduate , of the University of Oregon in "1026, is working with the Jantzen Knit ting mills in New York City.
