Contrary to the precedent estab
lished in the past by our predeces
sors, we are going to make no
apology for conducting this col
umn. But be that as it may we
have a sufficiently good reason for
going ahead with it outside the
necessity of filling up the paper.
Our purpose is to give the Em
erald readers news and informa
tion not able to be presented oth
erwise and to, perhaps, now and
then air a pet “beef” that seems
to be going the rounds.
But getting down to business.

IDAHO OFFERS COMPETITION
In the past Oregon has more or
less considered the Idaho game as
rather a set-up and a trial-horse
for the coming conference season,
all of which has been very true in
other years. But coming down to
the present it begins to look like
the Vandal coach, Leo Calland, is
going to put a real team on the
field next Saturday when he
brings his boys to Portland. To
begin with, Idaho’s experienced
line will outweigh the inexperi
enced Oregon forward wall from
four to six pounds to the man,
which is a lot of weight in foot
ball, and with a backfield of three
lettermen and Norby, a 195-pound
sophomore who was such a sensa
tion last year, there ought to be
plenty for Oregon to think about.
OREGON IS DARK HORSE
Calland seems to have hit his
big year just at the time when Doc
Spears is having plenty of trouble
whipping a green team into shape
l and the result should be interest
’ ing. In an interview earlier in the
season the Vandal coach, taciturn
about his own prospects as ever,
dropped the information that he
doped Oregon and U. S. C. the
dark horses of the Coast confer
ence with both teams liable to cre
ate quite a stir in conference foot
ball. Although he said nothing
about Idaho’s prospects, all reports
that come from the Vandal camp
point toward a powerful team and
a season that will lift the red
squad out of mediocrity.
* * *
PRE-SEASON GAMES DRAB
Also a couple of rather disillu
sioning performances against Wil
lamette and Oregon Normal last
week-end don’t help cheer the sit
uation up a bit. Besides bringing
out the world of improvement in
Red Rotenberg and Ed Moeller
from last year’s varsity and a
mighty fine showing of Bud Pozzo,
i a newcomer fullback, Oregon’s po
|tentialities didn’t go on the market
Ifor broadcasting. As the games
were little more than organized
scrimmages with Spears running
in all varieties of substitutes, the
scores of 21-6 and 20-0 give ex
actly no information of the Ducks’
possibilities and of the power that
they can uncork when needed.
So far, with nothing but these
two games and the regular prac
tices on which to base an' opinion,
Oregon still remains the dark
horse with lots of reputation at
stake in the coming two weeks
against Idaho and the University
of Washington in Seattle on Oc
tober 10.
NEWCOMERS IN LINEUP
Chuck Swanson, a fiery little
170-pound center, seems to have
moved right in for a first string
berth in the center of the line, al
ternating with Eric Forsta, last
year's regular. Doc seems to think
Iso much of this center combina
tion that the tentative starting
lineup for Saturday gives Forsta
the starting assignment with
Swanson in reserve.
Another change, in the back
field, brings Bud Pozzo into the
first backfield, replacing Mike
Mikulak. For running mates,
Pozzo will have Joe Lillard, Ed
Moeller and possibly Sam Roten
•berg—as versatile a backfield as
could be wanted. Pozzo and Moel
ler compare favorably with a cou
ple of battering rams in line-buck
ing, leaving Rotenberg and Lillard
to do the open field work.

Webfoots Work Hard as Conference Opener With Idaho Vandals Nears
Doc Spears Sends Varsity
Through Long Scrimmage
With Frosh "Idaho” Team
Doc Spears and his varsity football squad went through another
grueling three-hour practice session yesterday as an answer to Idaho's
defiant challenge of “On to Oregon.” Scrimmage against a picked
freshman eleven using Idaho plays topped off the last of a program
of lotfg workouts the genial Webfoot coach has been holding in antici
pation of a tough 60 minutes of football next Saturday afternoon at
Multnomah stadium in Portland.
The return of Jack Erdley to his
old position at end somewhat re
lieves the problem presented when
Steve Fletcher was forced to re
turn to California to receive medi
cal attention for an injured knee.
With the exception of Romey De
Pittard, who is suffering from a
body injury, and Ernie Rae,
tackle, who is in the infirmary,
the squad is in first class condition
for the coming tussle.
While Spears refused to give out
any definite starting lineup, it is
believed that the starting back
field will consist of Ed Moeller as
quarterback; Red Rotenburg and
Joe Lillard at the half positions,
and Bud Pozzo at full. In reserve
Spears will have Mark Temple,
Don Watts, Mike Mikulak, Chop
pie Parke, Howard Bobbitt, and
Paul Starr, all with excellent
chances of getting in against the
Vandals.
Starters in the forward wall will
probably be Bailey and Winters at
the wing berths; Bill Morgan and
Nilsson, tackles, and Red Wilson,
Irv Schulz and Eric Forsta hold
ing down the center of the line.
Erdley will undoubtedly get in
against Idaho, as will Chuck
Swanson, sophomore center.
Reports from the Vandal camp
indicate that Leo Calland will have
a veteran eleven to send against
the Ducks. For the first time in
a number of years they will enter
the game with even odds, and from
all Coach Calland has to say they
will do their utmost to give Spears’
gang a setback in the opening
conference game.
The Idaho backfield, consisting
of E. Davis at quarter, Sackett
and Norby at halves, and Wilkie
at full, will be practically a vet
eran combination and are expected
to show some speed next Satur
day.
In yesterday’s scrimmage with
the frosh, Spears had his men
work on a defense for Idaho pass
plays. And just in chance that
passing should be the order of the
i day, Spears had his backs doing a
bit of hurling also.
A light workout today and a
loosening-up session Friday will
be all until Saturday afternoon.
The squad will leave for Portland
Friday evening.

Released by WAA
Three Major, Two Minor
Sports Contained in
Fall Activities
The Women’s Athletic associa
tion will open its fall athletic sea
son next Monday, presenting three
major and two minor sports to all
women of the campus. The sports
offered are: hockey, volleyball,
swimming, hiking, and horseback
riding, with the first three sports
offered only during fall term while
the other two are offered through
out the year.
The sports are headed each year
by some student, who has charge
of practice hours and aids in team
selections. The heads of sports
this year are: hockey, Thelma
Lund; volleyball, Catherine Duer;
swimming, Dorothy Lou McMillan;
hiking, Alice Madsen; and horse
back riding, Mary Hayes.
The W. A. A. offers its sports
to every woman upon the campus,
and its membership to every
woman having earned 100 points
in W. A. A. activities. The W. A.
A. point system is based upon
positions held in class teams.
Positions on first teams netting
100 points, on second teams 75
points, and from third teams down,
50 points.
In presenting the first message
of W. A. A. to the campus, Fran
ces Haberlach, president of the or
ganization, urged the wider ac
quaintance of every woman with
the group. “We would like to have
every freshman, as well as sopho
more, junior and senior out for
W. A. A. sports. Anyone who has
ever played with us can tell you
how much fun we have—they al
ways come back for more. There
is a team for every player—so
come out and play with us.”
Absolutely no experience is re
quired to enter in W. A. A. sports,
as coaching is given for several
weeks before teams are chosen and
interclass games played. The prac
tices in all games start next Mon
day except for hockey, which com
menced practices last night at 4
o’clock. Players in most sports are
required to turn out three times a
week, however the choice of prac
tice nights is dependent upon the
player.
Representatives have been ap
pointed in each women's living
organization by Carol Hollings
worth to keep the women of the
campus acquainted with the acti

Out for Yearling
Football Squad
Bob Robinson to Assisi
Callison for 1931
Froslx Season
More than five tons of aspiring
freshmen answered Coach Prink
Callison's “call to arms’’ at Hay
ward field Mon
day. Weights
ranged from
150 to 235
pounds. The
large turnout,
60 strong, has
been going
through the
fund a mentals
in an effort to
work them
selves into
shape in time
Bob Robinson ^or the first
game of the
1931 season, against Monmouth
Normal school super-varsity at
Hayward field, October 9.
The yearling squad shows prom
ise of plenty of power although
somewhat lacking in weight in the
line and lots of speed and driving
power in the backfield. In the
backfield, Elmer Brown of Bend
and Art Clarkson, Seattle’s contri
bution to the squad, have been the
outstanding men thus far in the
workouts. Ned Simpson from Ta
coma and Butch Morse from Ben
son Tech have been shifted to
ends and look to be a strong com
bination.
Callison has for his assistant
this year Bob Robinson, halfback
on the Oregon varsity in 1927, ’28,
’29. Bob is also a champion pole
vaulter, holding the Northwest and
Canadian championships. Together,
Callison and Robinson hope to have
the large squad seeded out in the
near future and settle down to
regular team workouts.
A makeshift squad was sent
against Head Coach Spears’ regu
lars Tuesday, in preparation for
the Idaho game in Portland, Satur
day. Although the men chosen are
not necessarily the first string yet
they showed more promise than
others in the first few days of
practice and many other men are
sure to be well established by the
time the Frosh meet the Teachers.
Other luminaries also earning
their spurs are: Bagley, Eagle,
Pepenjack, Kostka, Leggett, Hart,
Little, Frye, Tichenor, Thompson,

UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED
Gallant! Says
Idaho Ready
For Webfeet
“On to Oregon” Slogan
Of Scrappy Vandals
Oregon to Face Veteran
Eleven; Backfield
Will be Fast
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos
cow, Sept. 30.—(Special).—With
"On to Oregon” as their slogan,
the University of Idaho football
squad spent a busy day of final
practice before leaving for Port
land Thursday night for the clash
with Oregon on Saturday.
Coach Leo Calland, head coach,
reported that every one of the 40
men on the squad was in first class
shape and that all had the one in
tention of giving Doc Spears and
his Webfeet one of the toughest
workouts the Oregonians will have
to play all season. Although to
day’s session was comparatively,
light, the varsity has spent two' •
afternoons this week scrimmaging
against the frosh who used Ore
gon plays.
Emmert Davis, quarterback,
who received a leg injury in the
Whitman game last Saturday, is
back in shape ready to take hia
regular turn at the signal calling
job along with three other first
string field generals, George Wil
son, Willis Smith and Norman
Sather.
Sather, a reserve on the squad
last season, pulled a surprise Sat
urday against Whitman and is
sure to get in the game against
Oregon. Passing is his job and he
can whip bullet-like passes straight
at the receiver. He also proved
that he can carry the ball, too,
against Whitman when he carried
the ball a few times himself and
averaged about eight yards each
trip.
Comparative weights show that
neither team will have an advan
tage of more than a few pounds.
Idaho will probably have a greater
number of veterans in the starting
lineup but one of Oregon’s margins
will lie in her superior reserve
strength.
