Side J ines Webfoots To Travel Far . • Frosh Season Suecessful . . . —— By Harry Van Dine ■ yOW that the annual squab ' ble as to whether Oregon or Oregon State has the bet ter football team has been settled for another year, the MrEwan coached Webfoots will turn their thoughts to three big games dur ing the next three weeks. The period might be appropriately termed a “coach’s nightmare" as McKean calls it, for the Webfoots will ""travel about five thousand miles, to play the games, and will meet" Hawaii, in Portland, and the powerful St. Mary's eleven, in San Francisco, within the span of five days. The varsity coaching staff will have to do some careful substituting to be able to keep a strong team on the field at all times. TT' “was announced yesterday ibtit the greut .Johnny Kitz iniller would cavort on the grid iroir no more this year as he suffered a broken ankle in the Aggie game. It was indeed a costly victory, as KitzmlBer’s loss will he very keenly felt by the Webfoots. Too bad that the mishap would have to hap pen just now, with Kitz going his best and these tough games on schedule. If he could have played the same brand of l>all against Florida that he has been dissaving in the conference games, Kitz would have un doubtedly received all-American mention. Kitz is not only a great football player, one of the best Oregon ever had, but he. is probably the best drawing at traction on the coast. Oregon will miss Kitzmilier, and we are fortunate to have him back for another year. Kitzmiller Out for Year * * * Tj^OUR conference victories and ■*" one defeat not such a bad record for the season. The Web foots ended their conference sea son in a blaze of glory in their clean cut victory over Oregon Statd and are considered one of the leading teams of the country. Coach McEwan’s men certainly made a great comeback after their defeat at the hands of Stanford in the opening conference battle. The Webfoots presented a well balanced, alert football team in the annual Homecoming fray, and their Old fighting spirit was very much in evidence. The Webfoots are assured of at least a tie for Northwest honors, with Washing ton State still in the running by virtue of its 13 to 0 victory over Montana. lUOH.VBLV the most surpris ing upset on the coast Sat urday was the IS to 7 victory scored by the Santa Clara Bron chos over Pop Warner’s tricky Stanford aggregation. For once Pop was fooled, he started his second string and the Hronchos scored in the first six minutes of play. The “old fox" then sent in his regulars hut they were unalile to do anything un til )tie third period, when Mof fett scored on a pass. The Sanita Clara team was not to be 'beaten, though, and tallied again in the fourth. Washing ton again made a gallant stand, this, time against California, and held the Bears to a 7 to 0 score. Bagshaw’s team has certainly perked up and should offer Chi cago a real lialtlc next week. e|* *H H* /'■'OACH PRINK CALL1 SON'S 4 football team showed the stuff they were made of when thny came back to score a smashing 31 to 19 win over the Oregon State Rooks in the final of the “little big garnet." This victory gave the frosh the undisputed claint to the better of the two teams, although the Rooks scored a 7 to 6 win the previous week at Medford, Jack Rushlow and George Currie showed their heels to the Rook linemen time and again and both turned in a great game This fellow Rushlow looks like a certain varsity prospect, with Iris terrific line smashes and good defensive playing. Bill Mor gan, Johnny Hare, and Beruie Hughes showed their usual high class,of playing and stopped the youu^ Aggie backs time and again* The yearling team has a record of four wins to one -defeat for the season, with the Rooks being the only team able to turn the tables on them. Catlison's men more than made up for the defeat when they smashed their way to victory a* Corvallis. It certainly was a great week-end for Oregon athletic history. Every freshman at New York university must be ducked on Hal love'm in 'Ue fouo'aio behind the Hail Jf Earn* Loss of Flying Dutchman Felt by Great Oregon Squad Statistics Show O.S.C. To Be Great Victors McEwan System Works Like Slow Powder Against O.S.C. Loiwialil To Try Matching Strides With Kitz The costly victory over the Ore gon Aggies Saturday for which Oregon paid the price of Johnny Kitzmiller. who may be lost to the team permanently with a badly broken ankle, was not gained so sloppily by the Webfoots as some critics seem to think. It is true that O. S. C. made more yardage from scrimmage, more yardage from passes, com pleted more passes, intercepted more passes, made more yardage on punts, recovered more fum bles, made more first downs, and lost the ball less on fumbles than did Oregon. But there was a good reason for it. It is possible tor almost any team to make yardage against Captain McEwan’s squad in mid field, because of his six-man pass defense. The center plays several yards behind the line of scrim mage, and that leaves a defensive wall of only four men against an offensive line of seven men. If Colbert, Christensen, Shields, and Lillie were not the brilliant stars they have shown themselves to be, such a method of defense would not be possible. When O. S. C. drove down to the goal line, however, they could not throw passes any farther than across the 10-yard zone, and the Oregon center and fullback were free to move up and bolster up the line. When that happened, it took O. S. C. about a dozen downs to gam a couple of yards. There is a reason for every tiling, freak plays included, and it is apparent that Coach McEwan lias mastered enough of these rea sons to have all but patented a method with which he can manu faetuie his own breaks. Practice for three weeks prior to the Aggie encounter was sig nificantly plotted into passing, pass defense, punting, and punting defense drills. There were two big reasons for this sort of preparation Kitzmil ler and Bobby Robinson. Without those two men or men like them, it is possible thal McEwan would have changed his whole system. It is a known fact that given a couple of inches head start, either Kitz or Bobby can break up any ball game, and when Kitz rnitler was carried from the field, Bobby came to the front like a medieval saint to the rescue of his monastery. When Bun Stadelman was wrecked, Eric Korsta stepped in and did his work. Now Johnny Londahi will probably have to Take over Kitzmiller's department. Londahi is developing fast, and no one can say yet that he won't be as good as Kitzmiller, but he doesn't phty the same style of game. U is possible that McEwan will revamp his whole system now, and find a nucleus other than the Klying Dutchman around which to build his team and be about as well off as he was before the ac cident or whatever it was. KITZMILLER'S ANKLE TO HEAL COMPLETELY (Ciuitinui d from Vug t. 0u< ) minded sincerity and gallant cour age and splendid fighting qualities that he has won not only the ad miration but the respect of those | who have seen him on the field of battle and have had acquaint ance with him. : Visited Injured Man “I went down to see Kitzmiller Sunday morning with the doctors and again this morning with Dr. Dillehunt. Kitzmiller assured me that he had every attention, com fort, i n 1 courtesy that could come to him. When I talked to him he was in line spirits and his whole conversation was about the future of the football team and not his j own personal suffering, which is very characteristic of the man." Kitzmiller’s room at the Eugene i city hospital was flooded with flowers yesterday, sent by nearly every fraternity and sorority on the campus, according to Tom Stoddard, student body president, who said that flowers had also been sent by the associated stu dents. SPEEDBALL TEAMS TO BE ELECTED Senior girls out for speedball met yesterday and chose their team which will be announced next week. Juniors will meet to night and elect their team, the sophomores, tomorrow, and the frosh Thursday. This year it was decided that the speedball teams would be elected, subject to the approval of the coach and head of speedball, because Miss Margaret Duncan, the coach, was unacquainted with the girls. Announcement of the teams will be made Friday. The speedball schedule is as fol lows: Nov. 25, junior vs. sopho more: Nov. 26 seniors vs. frosh: (Dec. 2 sophomore vs. frosh: Dec. 3 senior vs. junior; Dec. 4 sen ior vs. frosh; Dec. 5 junior vs. frosh.

Wrestling Takes Its Plaee in Field Of Minor Sports Matches To Be Planned For Squad; Successful Prospects Seen Wrestling is rapidly coming to the front as a minor sport, accord ing to Harry Elliot, coach of the Oregon squad. The sport will un doubtedly play an important part in the winter calendar of varsity sports, he said. A squad of a dozen men has been working out three times a week for the past six weeks. Con ditioning and the fundamentals of wrestling were stressed. Elliot is particularly pleased with the attitude of the squad in taking the work seriously, in view of the fact that until recently no outside competition was assured. An exhibition card is planned for November 20 at the Eugene Masonic temple and a donut tour nament is in prospect for early in January. Jack Senefiel, graduate man ager, is planning other matches for the squad. These will be an nounced later. The majority of the squad has had some past experience in the art of wrestling, Coach Elliot said. | With several new men showing up well, prospects for a very success- ' fid season are bright. The following men are turning out regularly, and compose the backbone of Elliot's squad: Arthur Markewitz. 118; Gerald (Whity) Van der Lugt, 118; Clair Mersel, 135; Louis Feves, 135; Karl Klernm, 145; Spencer Ray nor, 125; ‘‘Spud” Bowers, 158; Ed. Bloom, 148; Kermit Sumerwell, 158; Virgil Langtry, 135; Bill Johnson, 145; "Banney” Berenson, 145, and Chuck Bigmon. T en Ex-student j Body Presidents Hold Breakfast Dr. Fred J.

Straub Is Talker Dean John Straub, guest of honor, made the opening address, which was followed by short talks from each of the guests. Recent developments in the machinery of student government was the sub ject for most of the remarks. Sev eral of the former presidents commented favorably on the re cent modification of the attitude toward freshmen. The modern trend to make more of the execu tive positions of the student body appointive rather than elective was also declared to be a step for ward. Many Are Present Those present were: Dr. Fred J. Ziegler, 1901-02; George Hug, 1906-07: Robert Prescott, 1907-08; Percy Collier, 1910-11; Carlton Spencer, 1912-13; Herald White, 1918-19: Lyle Bartholomew, 1921 22; Randall Jones, 1924-25; Hugh Biggs, 1926-27; Joe McKeown, 1928-29.

The race will not be an ortho dox cross country race as it will be run entirely on the Multnomah field track, however, it will pro vide the frosh team with theier first competition. They were to have met the Oregon State Rooks at Medford and again at Corvallis but both engagements were called off by the Corvallis authorities, and the team will have to be con tent with Saturday’s meet as it is the only one on the schedule as it now stands. The team has been working out daily under the watchful eye of Bill Hayward and is in perfect condition for the race. The squad of ten is captained by Louis Neale, of Eugene, and includes, Edward Hicks, Winfield Tinnerstet, Ray Adams, Edward Bolds, Norman McCaffery, Russell Eddy, Juan Ginther, Robert M. Hall and Bur ton Long. This may have to be cut down to five for the Portland race but as yet the selection has not been made by Hayward.
