Oregon Oul in Full Force to Beat the Vandals VOLUME XXXI Cheer the Team for Greatest Vielory in History NUMBER 14 Multnomah Stadium Awaits Start of Annual Oregon-Idaho Fray WEBFOOTS SWARM TO VANDAL FIGHT Coming Gridiron War Sees Idaho in Trim Coach Relies On Veterans To Swing Tilt Thundering Herd of North Faces Oregon First Undefeated DECEPTIVE PLAYS SET Vandal Line Light, Hard Hitting; Crowds to Wateli Pederson By PAUL E. JONES, Sports Editor Idaho Aragonaught. Having disposed of their first three opponents in a compara tively easy fashion, 33 Vandals arrived in Portland yesterday and worked out on Multnomah field in preparation for the toughest con test to date against the Univer sity of Oregon team here today. The game is One of Saturday’s crucial contests and present indi cations are that the football su premacy of the northwest is likely to hinge on the outcome. Coach Leo Calland's “thunder ing herd of the north” will be at top strength for the test as all of the regulars are in condition and the lineup that faces the Ore gonians today will probably be the strongest that has started this year. The Vandals have realized one of their early season ambitions - to face Oregon undefeated. Just how long they can retain this dis tinction depends on whether Ore gon is able to sto“p the Vandal power attack which wrought havoc with the supposedly impregnable Montana line. On the other hand, the Vandal defense, which was somewhat doubtful in the two non-conference tilts, smearecf play after play behind the Montana forward wall and either knocked down or intercepted all but one of the 14 Grizzly passes, holding Milburn’s men to two first downs, one of which came from the only completed forward pass thrown by Montana. So far this season the Vandals have used little but straight foot ball, power and speed to roll up 99 points against their opponents’ 13. “Big Bill” Kershisnik, Idaho's 315-pound sylph-like halfback, and Fred Wilkie, fullback, have been furnishing most of the power while “Pete” Pederson, a Parisian born Dane known as the “Gallop ing Swede,” Herbie Owens, Ken neth Barrett and Johnny Norman {Continual on Pope Four) Coaches ’Em Here’s Leo Oalland, head coach of the University of Idaho Van dals, who has taken his men to Portland for the Oregon tilt. Freshman Co-ed Breaks Records In Psycli Tests ’33 Class Rating Expected To Fall Short of Average Girls Rank Higher in Test Of English A freshman girl has broken all past records by tieing the high est scores made in the psycholog ical tests given to the entering freshmen of the university this year. The highest score previ ously made was that of one male student. This year there are two highest, one girl and one boy. C. L. Constance, assistant to Dr. Howard R. Taylor, director of the new personnel bureau of the university, compiled the informa tion. This information is relative to the annual tests. It is expected that the class average this year will be below that of other schools due to the fewer number of high scores. Last year one freshman boy had a score topped by only three others in ' the United States, and it was \ mainly due to this fact that the ' class as a whole maintained an average on a level with that of 30,000 other freshmen in universi ties and colleges over the country. It has been found that girls al most invariably rank higher in language and English, while boys take the prize in arithmetic. In J other tests it has been found that the average has been the same. ’Hip-Snorter' Says Manager About Play by Very Little Theatre Group ^RTHUR GRAY, who was a Guild hall star while attend ing the University of Oregon, will direct “Cock Robin," a mys tery comedy, to be presented by the Very Little Theatre Group of Eugene in the Heilig theater November 7th, announces Ken neth Shumaker, business mana ger, and an English instructor at the university. “The play is simply a rip snorter,” he declares. Dealing with the murder of Hancock Robin, it is an amaz ing labyrinth of suspects and false clues involving a clever and satisfactory solution. Members of the cast includes: Mr. Gray, who is playing the part of “Cock Robin,” as well as directing the production; Clara Fitch, a former campus player who has returned from a year in Europe; Gerda Brown, Beatrice Beebe, and Florence Shumaker. Dr. F. W. Buchanan, another old Guild hall star from the University of Oregon, will play the role of the heavy in the cast. Andrew Fish, of the history department of the university; Easton Rothwell, of the Univer sity high school; Kermit Stev ens. William Tugman, and Pro fessor Walter Myers of the uni versity are also included in the cast. The Very Little Theatre Group, which is mostly compos ed of people that are permanent residents of Eugene, plans to present a play sometime during the winter term and one in the j spring term. Oregon Frosh Swamp Indian Gridders 42-0 Redskin Team Fails to go Through Yearling Line; Babes Look Good WATTS SCORING STAR Dashes 85 Yards for Final Score of Fray; Hughes Shines on Defense By JACK BURKE Running up a total score of 42 points against the Chemawa In dians’ nothing, the Yearling foot ball team had no difficulty in scoring a victory in their first game of the 1929 season. Almost the entire squad got into the game at one time or another and taken as a whole the fresh man team looks to be one of the strongest in recent years. The re- | serve material which was for a time of somewhat doubtful strength showed to good advan tage and succeeded in scoring two touchdowns while the regulars warmed the bench during the sec ond and third quarter. Lineup Same Callison started the men as they have lined up in practice for the past week and the showing they made proved that he had made no mistake in his choice. Within | three minutes of play the frosh got under way and in short order j Jack Rushlow crashed through a i beautiful hole in the center of the i Chemawa line and scored. The try for point by Watts was suc cessful. After the ball nad been kicked off again the Indians tried a few tricks without avail and passed. Cliff Garnett was on the ! ball and after intercepting the toss i an some fifteen yards before be- j ing downed. After a series of gains by Don Watts and Rushlow, Garnett packed it over. Watts again connected on the try for point. The remainder of the quar ter was very similar to the above recital, 20 points in all being scored. Substitutes Scoreless After the regulars had been re moved from the game, the red skins’ defense stiffened and the substitutes were unable to score in the third period. However, at the start of the last period they sneaked one over and in the lat te' part of the last quarter after j the starting team had swarmed on the field, Don Watts, who by ! the way is all that has been prom ised and more, took the ball on his own 15 yard line and with beautiful interference ran the whole 85 yards to a score. Though this was the outstanding run that Watts made there were many oth ers though not so long nor spec tacular were equally good. Many Gains Made Jack Rushlow in the backfield I was the work horse as was pre- ! dieted. He carried the ball on about every other play and with the aid of the trio in the center of j the line made some very good gains. The line from end to end play ed a good brand of football and were very strong on defense. In the center Bernie Hughes stood as a “Rock of Gibraltar” and was sure to be on the bottom of the j pile when things were straightened out. The ends, Johnny Hare and Red Decker, showed to good ad vantage and were seldom boxed. Another end who showed promise was Les King who went in to re- | place Decker. On pass plays he (Continued on.

Gains Large Increase In Membership Committee Aetive Among Frosh Women ami New Students An intensive effort by the mem bership committee of the Y. W. C. A. to acquaint campus women with the work of the organiza i tion, has resulted in a member ! ship increase of 250, Dorothy : Shaw, head of the committee, re ports. No campaign for an entire cam pus membership was made. In stead the committee organization j endeavored to acquaint students, particularly frosh, with the work of the Y. W. and to secure women who were interested in the work. “We want membership to be en tirely voluntary and to be the re sult of vital interest in Y. W.,” I explained the committee chairman yesterday. “It has been an edu cational drive more than anything else," Miss Shaw added. Not quite all of the cards sent j out for membership have been re i turned but the figure will not rdn ' much beyond 250. Working on the committee for the past several weeks with Miss Shaw were Sally Holloway, Mar ian Camp, Mary Katherine Fen ton, Josephine Dammasch, Nell Patrick, Gladys Haberlach and Harriet Kane.

Substitutions in this sec tion are usually made because of injuries or weaknesses and do not affect greatly the style of play. It is in the backfield and on the ends that substitutions talk the plainest language to spectators and to the opposing coach. Modern football demands a greatly varied attack, and coaches like McEwan use different back field and end combinations for each style of play, thus capitaliz ing on the distinctive types of men on the squad. Robinson, Kitzmiller, Mason, Londahl, Walt Browne, and Steve Fletcher working with a heavy halfback or fullback synchronize well into a passing, punting, and open play attack.

Barker, who is in charge of the depart ment. No changes will be made in the training program this year and the work will be carried on according to the program fol lowed in past years. As has been the rule in the department lately there are more students wishing to take upper division i work than there are vacancies j to fill. This is, however, a I healthy condition, according to | Major Barker, and this allows ! the officers to exercise their judgment in choosing candidates for the upper division courses. Of particular interest to up | per division students who en j joyed their primary military j training under the tutelage of I Colonel Sinclair is the advice that he is, according to Major Barker, at the present time ac cumulating his first million, be i ing affiliated with a bond house ] in Galveston, Texas.
