The Emerald *♦> SCORE BOARD By Jack Burke ♦ POP W ARNER DRAWS A SETUP AT MINNESOTA— We believe that Pop Warner will get little satisfaction out of his game with Minnesota next Satur day. When Pop scheduled the game Doc Spears was a power at Minnesota and the game looked to be a good drawing card. This year, however, Spears is gone and in his stead is a coach who as yet seems to be somewhat at a loss for a system. Last week Doc Spears had the opportunity of seeing his old team go down to a crushing defeat before a team which he last year readily dispos ed of. It only goes to show that you never know what you are getting in for. By next October, Chick Meehan may have been given the gate and we will be playing a set up, instead of the strong N. Y. U. team. COUGARS SEEM STRONG AGGREGATION— It might be of interest to know just what kind of a team it was that crushed California last week, 16 to 0, so here are a few statis tics on Washington State. The average weight of the Cou gar team is 1S1 1-2 pounds dis tributed between a 235 pound tack le and quarter tipping the scales at 140. As to the height of the squad it ranges from an end of 6 feet 3 inches to a 5 foot 5 fullback, and averages a fraction under six feet. As there are a lot of sophomores on the squad the age average is low at 21 and a fraction but ac cording to' Babe Holingberry they are all just as good as a lot of old stiff-in-the-joint players. WILL WE EVER HAVE A CREW RACE— Chamber of commerce secretar ies have a failing for being over enthusiastic but to us even the re-1 mote possibility of having a us able stretch of water for crew rac ing in the immediate vicinity of the campus is justification for a lot of noise. By usable stretch of water we mean a good straight, smooth stretch, wide enough to accommo date at least three crews com fortably. If this were possible it is within reason that this sport might be introduced into the sports pro gram here. Anyone who has ever seen a crew race will understand us when we say that such a spectacle is worth working for. There is no sport on the other hand which re quires such constant training and work on the part of contestants. In the final balance, however, we feel certain that the judgment must be in favor of the sport. OREGON MISSES TWO DRAKE TOUCHDOWNS— It seems funny to us that even in this day of highly perfected communication methods we must wait for an eye-witness version to get the real story on the Drake game. As we understood over the wire and according to press dispatches Oregon lost out on one touchdown by a penalty and now we under stand from Sammy Wilderman that there were two such occa sions. Once Watts ran down the side of the field some 30 yards for a score to be called back for a mi nor infraction of the rules. By the way Watts was not seriously injured during the game as was feared when reports of the game were coming in. NATIONAL COURT STAR ENROLLS AT OREGON (Continued from Page One) when they realized that Wood had come through in impressive man ner, scoring a decisive, bewilder ing victory of 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. Thus lies the story of Wood’s famous triumph of the year, but his line age accounts for some of his en terprise and natural tennis sense. According to the Times writer, Wood is related to a former presi dent of the United States Lawn Tennis association, Julian S. Myr ick, and also to Watson Wash burn, former Davis Cup star and ranking player. Has Two Seasons of Play For a youth of a mere 18 years, Wood has had two seasons of play in the English and French cham pionships, meeting such famous stars as Rene LaCoste and Henri Cochet. Reginald Coggeshall, as sociate professor in the Oregon school of journalism, and one-time sports writer on the Paris-New York Herald, has witnessed sev eral exhibitions by the youthful tennis strategist. Coggeshall said that the jovial Wood's supremacy Doc Spears Hands Out Sarcasm to Football Eleven as Practice is Resumed Gridmen Get Real Practice On Wet Field Two Teams Sriinmage and Handle Wei Pigskin Skillfully Watts Uninjured; Hayward Says All Men Are in Good Shape Under the critical ana all-seeing eye of Doc Spears, the Oregon football team limbered travel stiffened joints, and plunged through a stiff hour of scrimmage on the soggy sawdust of Hayward field yesterday afternoon. R^in made the ball slippery and elusive, but fumbles were exceed ingly rare. The Doctor’s remarks, when a backfield man lost the eel like leather, undoubtedly increased the team's efficiency as a whole. John Kitzmiller was reprimanded because he failed to fall on a fum bled ball. i Doc Hard Boiled Spears bawls a man out in a distinctive fashion. When a player makes a misplay, Doc calls him by name and asks tersely: “What did you do that time?” The man at fault must tell what he did and why; then Doc tells him distinctly and emphatically in a biting sarcastic tone just what he should have done. The Doctor has a large vocabulary that is not of a medical nature. Colonel Bill Hayward, trainer, reports that the team is in excel lent condition, physically and oth erwise. “They were pretty well done up when they boarded the train at Chicago Friday night,” said Bill, “but except for a few bumps and bruises, they are all fine now.” Watts O. K. Don Watts, halfback, was only slightly hurt in the Drake game. His left ankle was wrenched, but from the way he gamboled through scrimmage last night, he was completely recovered. A fighting second team could not hold the savage thrusts of the first string, which carried the ball up and down the field for advances of from ten to forty yards con sistently. A couple of keen-eyed young men, strangers, were noticed on the sidelines, watching the Web foot civil war with great interest. If they were Washington scouts, they saw some action that should give Coach Phelan a few more things to worry about. over the younger players of the world is not overrated, and that he is just as ingenious on the turf courts as reports indicate. During the rather erratic sea sons of English and French play, Wood came within an ace of beat ing the nemesis of American play ers, Henri Cochet; and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon. Following that, he disposed of Fritz Mercur at Seabright and Dr. Jack Wright of Canada at New port. He finally topped this string of triumphs by defeating Junior Coen in the national junior cham pionship in 1927. Never Officially Ranked However, in spite of these un usual performances, Wood has never officially been ranked with the first ten of the country. This was partly due because he spent much of his time in California, convalescing. His health has not always been the best and a rest was deemed necessary, thus tak ing away some chance to advance further during that season. The many tournaments and in formal competitions in which Wood has participated seem an endless maze; but they all serve to point out that he is the out standing young player of the coun try. Many sports critics predict he will be fifth ranking player at the beginning of the Davis Cup series next spring, if his playing continues in the smooth channel of consistent triumphs. Whether he makes the Davis Cup team or not, Wood will be able to play for Oregon during the spring before embarking for the eastern tournaments, and in that event, he should present a mighty interesting exhibition on the coast. Greek Dictionary Added To Collection of Library A historic Greek dictionary, "Theasaurus Linguae Graecae," by Stephanus, has been added to the library by the Greek department. The ten-volume work should be a valuable contribution to the Unl I versity, according to Clara Smert j enko, professor of Greek. Sharpening Their Teeth So As|To Better Enjoy Husky Meat The team's back, with a big victory behind them, but Doc Spear s isn’t going to let that go to heads of his team members. He knows that Oregon has a tough game ahead, and he knows that to win th at game it means work. Yesterday the Webfoots were put through a hard workout in preparation for the big tilt in Portland on October 18. Football Fame Is Incentive In Bringing Girl To Oregon Oregon football fame, as a re sult of games played with the Uni versity of Hawaii, was responsible for bringing to this campus a stu dent from far-off Honolulu, who never heard of the University be fore. The student, Geraldine Med calf, had planned to enter a school either in California or the East, but changed her mind after the grid contest. Geraldine, who is a sophomore in commerce, although born in the states, has lived on the island of Oahu all her life. Before entering the Hawaiian university, she at tended Punaho academy, the old est school west of the Mississippi, having been founded by mission aries in 1841. Students of every nationality are educated in the same schools with out any apparent sign of race pre judice. “The first thing to attract a tourist walking along a street in Honolulu is the mixture of races,” Geraldine revealed. “Within one block 12 different nationalities may be seen.” “Of a population of over 300,000 people,” the newcomer went on to explain, “only 38,000 are whites. Last year for the first time there were more Filipinos than white people on the islands. Demand for labor in canneries and plantations, which involves hard work and small pay, made it necessary to bring in a large number from the Philippines.” Because of its musical quality, the Hawaiian language, now used by only the old natives, is being revived as a subject in the univer sity. However, about 40 words are commonly spoken by all the peo ple, since they are shorter and easier to say than the English form. “Pau” is the native wofd for “finished,” “haole” means “white people,” and “malihini” translates into “newcomer.” Ger aldine unhesitatingly pronounced the phrases like a true native. “And it’s Hawaee—not Hawa ya,” she laughingly warned the reporter. “Tourists soon learn to pronounce it right, because they are jumped on immediately, if they don't.” The orientals’ desire for white collar jobs was explained as a new HEILIG ‘The Pick of the Pictures’ STARTS WEDNESDAY o in LET US BE GAY Hurry! Gone Tonlte! Leaves Tuesday Eve. —Billie Dove in— “SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES” problem on the islands. Previously it was possible to hire a gardener for 50 cents a day, but the rapid Americanization of the Japanese and Chinese has raised the wage to $3. “Although the longest road on the island Oahu is only 90 miles long, Honolulu is accredited with more autos than any place of its size in the world,” Geraldine ex plained. “There are more Fords, too, because they happen to be the Japanese weakness.” “How do I like Oregon weather in contrast to Hawaii? Well, yes, it is different. There it rains hard and then the sun comes out, but here—” and she gazed wistfully through the window at a typical Oregon deluge. _ Tennis Tourney Starts Thursday Lists Open to Any Man in University Considering that the now In clement weather subsides some what, the annual tennis tourna ment of the University will begin Thursday afternoon following the drawings which are scheduled to take place during the morning, S. Stephenson Smith, net coach, an nounced yesterday. The tourna ment will be open to any student in the University who has not earned his letter in tennis. Pairings will be made with the understanding of a time limit in playing the matches, Smith said. The matches will have to be ar ranged between the contestants and may be played any time with in the time limit, it is understood. Coach Smith explained that this was to allow the tournament to be played without the interference of classes and other school activi ties. Probably a week will be spent in playing the entire tour ney, he said. Portland Girl Selected Mary Helen Corbett, of Port land, has been selected for the po sition of secretary to the editor of the Emerald, it was announced from the editorial office yesterday. Try-outs for the position were held last week. Yearling Squad Resumes Daily Practice Grind Prepare for Next Game With Super-Varsity Saturday With the first test of the coming season a thing of the past, the Oregon freshman eleven,, under the guidance of Coach Prink Cal lison, have swung into their daily three hour training grind in prepa ration for their next Saturday’s tilt with the super-varsity on Hay ward field. The game with Albany college was regarded more or less as a warm-up contest and proved to be such. Several players stood out, both in the line and in the back field, but from the way Coach Cal lison talked to the squad yesterday one might have thought the game a crushing defeat. Only three weeks remain until the first of the annual “big-little games” with the Oregon State Rooks, October 24 at Corvallis. Following this game, on Novem ber 7, on Hayward field, comes another “annual" battle, that with the University of Washington Babes. A week later the O. S. C. Rooks come here for the second game of TED WELCOMES YOU TO A BRIGHT YEAR * * * SHINE TICKETS 11 for a Dollar CAMPUS SHOE SHINE Across from Sigina Chi fox McDonald HURRY!

Entrants for the golf tourney may sign as late as Saturday. So' far only seven men have signed for golf, ten for horseshoes, and twelve singles entrants and four doubles teams are assured in handball. The physical education depart ment also announces that there I I ! will be a meeting of the athletic managers of all living organiza tions, class presidents, and repre sentatives of the various schools of the university who are interest ed in intramural competition at the office of the men’s gym Thurs day at 4 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting is to definitely sched ule the various leagues in the swimming and basketball tourneys to the satisfaction of everyone. A third schedule would include representative teams from each class of the various schools of the University. These class teams would compete with other teams from the same class of another school. Observance of Virgil's Birthday Planned Here Not many people have their 2000th birthday celebrated, but that honor is going to be accorded Virgil on October 15.
