I I Will They Both Lose? ■Doc'Spearj-, Oregon Co'ocA Jimmy Phelan and Doc Spears appear here. Whether they are thinking of the game is hard to tell. Is Spears smiling to make Phelan uneasy? 'W e've Had Tough Luck, But We’ll Fight,” Say Coaches Team Materially Weakened By Many Injuries, States Phelan Statements made to the Emer ald last night, showed that both of the opposing coaches were gloomy over the prospects of the coming football battle. Injuries in both ranks seemed to have worried both Phelan arid Spears. Neither had lost his fighting spirit, though, and both promised a hard and tough game. Their statements follow: Phelan Gloomy “The University of Washington football squad has had a constant list of injuries which has reached its peak this week with Hufford, Patrick, Pautzke and Lenfesty of the regulars and several reserves on the injured list. Washington will be greatly underpowered— Oregon will have eight out of the eleven starting lineup which de feated Washington last year. The Oregon Frosh team also defeated the Washington Frosh team so with only two of the starting team of last year the Huskies have a big day’s work cut out for them. However, we will give Oregon a good battle.” —Coach Phelan. Bryan university, a memorial to the man who was the United States foremost exponent of fundamental ism, opened its doors this year at Dayton, Tenn., where Bryan died while engaged in his last great fight for his beloved cause. Huskies Have Shown Power In Early Season Grid Tilts The Oregon-Washington game seems even more to be a “natural” with the day of the game at hand, but Washington has a slight edge over Oregon in the fact that it has played two conference games, beating Montana and Idaho, both to the tune of 27 to 0. The Huskies showed that they have both weight and power, in th$ Vandal game last Saturday, 0when after being held to almost even berms in the first half, kept pounding0 at the Vandal wall until the Idahoans, becoming tired and weary, were easy prey to the Hus ky team. At that the Huskies used only three or four different plays to score a victory. Plielan Pleases Fans There were 20,000 enthusiastici fans there Saturday to see Jimmy Phelan’s charges play an entirely new style of football in Washing ton, which goes to show that foot ball interest is on the upgrade, since Phelan took over the reins. Phelan, who was once upon a time a football player at Columbia uni versity in Portland, has had to re ! vise the University of Washington system into a very different style of football, introducing the Notre Dame shift. The Husky coach j comes from Purdue, “Big Ten,” j conference champions. He suc 1 ceeds a long list of coaches, be ! ginning at a time when Gil Dobie, ! 1908-16, coached the so-called j “power” plays, using deception and I passes, but relying mainly on pow er. After Dobie came a series of mentors who didn't count so much, but in 1921 began a nine-year i reign by Enoch Bagshaw, who hailed from Everett high, in Wash i ington. He was highly successful, I until he couldn’t win all the games, [ (Continued on Page Four) Spears Expects Battle, But Says He Thinks Ducks Will Be Victors "The unexpected injury to Don Watts was quite a set-back to our backfield play, and the trip to Chi cago for the Drake game took two weeks of conditioning out of the boys, so the team isn’t in the shape I intended it to be for the Washington game. Otherwise, I would expect a near certain vic tory for Oregon, but now the out come is very doubtful. Loss of Watts Worries "In spite of these set-backs, I look for the boys to play the best game of the season at Portland Saturday. I know that each one of them will be in the game with all he’s got. Jimmy Phelan’s team will have to put up a great battle if they ex pect to beat Oregon and we are ex pecting a great battle.” —Coach Spears. Captains Predict Their Own Victory In Today’s Game Both Certain of Winning; Neither Are Making Any Concessions “No concessions or alibis,” is the motto of the two opposing cap tains in today’s game. Kitzmiller proclaims Oregon will outplay Washington in every way, while Holmes says, “Welre playing that game to win.” Kitzmiller "When I’m asked who’s going to win the game against Washing ton, naturally I say Oregon will. I really thought quite sure of it until Watt» fractured his shoulder. His injury will hamper our sys tem a great deal, as whoever takes his place will be somewhat new. But things like that happen on ev ery team, every year, so we’re not alibiing. “Anyhow, whether Washington starts off with a bang or not, makes no difference to us. Out side of a few small injuries, we’re in the pink of condition. Person ally, I expect Oregon to outfight and outplay Washington in every way. And we are out to win.” —Captain Kitzmiller. Holmes “We aren’t conceding Oregon anything, no matter who is in jured. We’re playing that game to win.” —Captain Holmes. •1 Take Your Turn This Time, Larry WHEN the "University of Washington’s pride of the gridiron takes the field against Doc Spears’ eleven this after noon, there will be one boy who will certainly tackle With ap prehension. That unfortunate personage is none other than Larry Westerweller, elongated wingman of the Phelan squad. It was during the Oregon Washington game of a year ago that Mr. Westerweller made his bid for fame. Our friend, Larry, leaped from the sidelines and in one mighty tackle hauled to earth an Oregon back, who was calmly on his way for a clear touchdown. What prompted Long Larry to adopt such tactics is not ex actly clear, other than it was generally accepted that he was temporarily “out.” W’hatever the cause, or the reaction, it is safe to predict that Westerwel ler will think twice before tack ling out of turn. Cherry Wants All Students Peppy Portland Football Minded; Shows Enthusiasm George Cherry, president of the A. S. U. O., yesterday expressed his desire that every Oregon stu dent be at the stands at the kickoff of the big game in Portland today. "It is essential,” he said, "that every man and woman from the campus let himself go, in the biggest show of enthusiasm and school spirit that Portland has ever seen. As we have noted many times this last week, Portland is really football-minded for the first time and we want to keep it that way. If we go up there and show plenty of good wholesome enthus iasm and a degree of good sports manship, Portland will join us in raising the town. Remember, however, that our conduct will re flect directly upon the University, and with that in mind let us go up to Portland resolved to do all in our power to concert that city into a firm supporter of our Univer sity.” O-O-O-O-Oregon This trio of versatile Webfoot cheer leaders will lead the Oregon rooters in the annual Oregon-Washington football classic at Portland today. From left to right, they are: Ed Wells, Portland; Kelsey Slo cum (hi the air), Hood River; and John Creech, .Salem, yell king.

This number is declared by the store to be much more than was expected, and shows the great in terest that the Oregon students have in the Oregon-Washington game. Head Men Out After Each Other Here we have Captain Johnny Kitzmiller ready to lead his team of Webfoots against the pack of Huskies down from the North, headed by A1 Holmes, captain of Phelan’s so-far-victorious Wash ington men.

Coach Spears and his crew of gridiron warriors are all set, ready to give the Washington Huskies the biggest fight that they have ever had. They are worried but confident.

Captains have made statements, both full of fight and out to win. The out come is about to be worked out before your eyes. It is useless to attempt to analyze the situation. Other articles and stories appear ,in this issue. With the blowing of the whistle two ancient rivals, the two coaches, will be resuming van an cient feud, carried west this year by Phelan at Washington and Spears at Oregon. A distinct hit at the big doings this year has been the Oregon band. Wherever activity and ex citement have been highest, there has been the band, with the new “Oregon Marching Song” as a bat tle cry for all to follow. Starting out their day yesterday by meet ing the special train from Eugene and ending up in the Evening by playing over KXL, KEX, and KOIN. That was enough to let them sleep in during the morning. But not for John Stehn’s band. Up early at 7 to greet the Washing ton special. They then spent the morning parading the streets, and at 12:45 led the big rally here to the game. The stage is set, the air is tense. The game is on. Beat the Hus kies! - New Football In Islands The University of Hawaii marked its initial night game win on the books Thursday, when they took the Honolulu Athletic club into camp with a 28-0 score. This game was the starting of a new football era on the islands. Webfoot Gridmen Undefeated In Three Preliminary Games Oregon’s new football regime under Dr. Spears faced its first test on September 20, when it met Pacific university on Hay ward field. Although there was no apprehension as to the result, it was to prove interesting from the standpoint of new coaching and a new system. In this game Oregon relied on straight football and set Pacific down only 20 to 0. The Oregon players were none too snappy, but this is explained in a way by the intensive practice the previous week. Although Pacific was un able to make any gains, they held Oregon down quite consistently. Doc Spears was far from satisfied and immediately after the game held a hard workout. Doc Spears Pleases Dr. Spears, Oregon’s new foot ball coach, is fresh from a string of victories at Dartmouth, West Virginia, and Minnesota. He be lieves in hard work and plenty of it. He has introduced a new shift which involves both line and back field. He has also introduced new plays, a new style of interference and a new spirit. Oregon's most serious game was with Drake on October 3, as up to that time her scores had been somewhat unimpressive, but she had revealed a great potential power. Although Oregon did over whelm Willamette by a large score, no real comparison can be made. Chicago Game Tough Twenty-six men left for Chicago to play a team of unknown style, size or power. Dr. Spears was somewhat pessimistic. Last year Drake won the Missouri Valley championship and this year has had the benefit of two more weeks (Continued on Page Four)
