Will They Both Lose?

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,

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.

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.”

Great Number of Tickets

A last-minute rush at the Co-op
brought the number of tickets sold
for the Oregon-Washington game
up from 2000 at 2 o’clock to 2,433
when the store closed last eve

This number is declared by the
store to be much more than was

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
