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.

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.

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.

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

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. Ziegler Oldest
Past Chief Present
At Meeting
Ten former student body presi
dents of the University of Oregon
met at a breakfast banquet for
which Tom Stoddard, present in
cumbent, was host at the Osbum
hotel last Saturday morning.
Dr. Fred J. Ziegler, who served
as the university’s third student
body president for the year 1901
02, was the oldest past chief exec
utive present, and from him a
chronological list of the breakfast
guests ranges down to Joe Me
Keown, who was president last
year.
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

1928-29. Thomas Stoddard, 1929
30.
Lamar Tooze, 1915-16: and Fred
Steiwer, 1905-06, sent telegraphic
regrets for their inability to at
tend the reunion.

To Run Against
Portland Teams
Race Will Be Preliminary
To Webfooi-Hawaii
Football Game
As a preliminary to the Univer
sity of Hawaii-Webfoot game at
Portland November 23, the year
ling cross country team will run
a two mile race against the Reed
college harriers and a group of
runners from the Portland high
schools.
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.

The senior first team defeated
the freshman first team, 42-40, in
a close but rather dull game. The
first junior team barely nosed out
the second junior team, 29-28, in
the other game, which was much
more exciting.
