Quartet of Clever Signal
callers to See Action
In Portland Fray
With a 32 to 7 pre-season victory
over the Whitman Missionaries
safely stowed away Leo Calland’s
Idaho football machine seems in
line to give Oregon a real battle
when both teams open their con
ference schedules on Multnomah
field Saturday.
Calland, it appears according to
the advance dope, wants touch
downs instead of gross yardage
this season. In years past Idaho
teams often ran up more yardage
from scrimmage than their oppon
ents while not coming out on the
victor’s end of the count. This con
dition is not at all desirable from
Calland’s viewpoint, and this year
he will strive to make every play
a potential touchdown.
In view of this, Idaho will still
stick to its U. S. C. style in all
its basic principles, that is, the
same shift and unbalanced line
but will concentrate on getting the
quarterbacks out in the open on
every play.
“A quarter for every quarter,"
has become the cry of the Idaho
ballyhoo artists, and to carry out
the idea there are four midget
signal-callers averaging about 150
pounds who will see service Sat
urday.
These four: Davis, Wilson,
Sather and Willis Smith, “the Lit
tle Giant,” as he is called, will fit
nicely into Calland’s style of play.
None of these men are heavy
enough to carry out Howard
Jones’ system where the quarters
do the heavy line-bucking, so
Idaho is depending upon its line
functioning well enough to get the
midget ball-carriers in the clear.
Smith will see action for the
first time this fall on the varsity
after playing sensational ball for
the freshmen last year. His bril
liant runs gave the varsity plenty
of interesting evenings up in Mos
cow in 1930 in scrimmage sessions.
Wilson, another of the quarter
back threats, holds a unique posi
tion on the football records as
being the only man in the nation
last year to run 105 yards to a
touchdown. He did this in Idaho’s
game against Whitman from a
fake punt formation.
As for t » halfbacks—well, let
Charles Schi macher tell you in his
column in the Idaho Argonaut:
“John Norby, 195-pound sopho
more, playing his first varsity
game, comes for his share of the
honors. His blocking, pass-receiv
ing and line-backing was faultless.
This boy will certainly have to be
considered when the “smart boys”
pick an all-coast team this year.
Sackett and Hanford, the other
halves, played good ball.
“Lee Tyrell, making his first
appearance at fullback,” continues
Schumacher, “proved to the fans
that Calland has two good line
plungers. Wilkie, two-year vet
eran, played very little on account
of injuries. Tyrell has developed
a freak gallop—a cross between
walking and flying, which would
outdo Gallant Fox and Elmer
Schwartz, all in one afternoon. He
used it very effectively in gaining
yardage Saturday. All in all, the
backfield showed up exceptionally
well.”
That passage leads us to believe
that Doc Spears will have a pretty
busy time keeping track of the
Idaho backs during the Portland
party. Schumacher, the Idaho
sports scribe, must think Norby is

on the campus was sent last night
by those in attendance, of the Y.
M. C. A. stag party at the “Y” ;
hut when the motion was made
during the evening to further as

home.”
Musical selections, humorous
readings, exhibition wrestling and
games chosen with a get-acquaint- .

Indian contest and a revived tra
ditional tilt that held sway on the
Oregon campus a number of years
ago.
Barrel jousting, slap and hand
wrestling, and the wrestling match
between David Doran and Bryand
Ryan were other numbers on the
party program which was ar
ranged by Rolla Reedy, Lloyd
Brown, Don Saunders and William
Kidwell, assisting R. B. Porter,
executive secretary of the “Y.” I
A banjo solo was played by
Wallace Telford and a harmonica
selection by Reedy. Casteel, pro

Following an evening of riotous
noise - making, Oregon students
met at noon today in front of the
Imperial hotel to stage the last
pre-game pandemonium before the
victory rally commences.
Preceded by the newly frocked
University band; the rooters ser
pentined to the ticket office where
a truckload of noise-makers, con-j
fetti, serpentine, and other gala
paraphernalia was dispensed. A
short rally with student yells and
pep talks was held before the fans
paraded to the stadium.
All Oregon men are being re
quired to wear rooters’ lids in the
rooting section. This is in accord
ance with the recent resolution
passed by the Order of the O.

New Inscription Seen
On Johnson Window
Branch of State Education
Board in Eugene
A new inscription, Oregon State
Board of Higher Education, Eu
gene Branch, now appears on a
window on the top floor of John
son hall. Many changes have been
made in the workings behind this
window.
Last spring the state board of
higher education passed a resolu
tion establishing a central busi
ness office at Salem. During the
summer the accounting work of
the University, Oregon State col
lege, and the three normal schools
was moved to the Salem office.
Seven of the employees at Eugene
were transferred to Salem.
The main advantage of the
change is the decreased cost by
using fewer employees, and the
uniformity in accounts and reports
■and business procedure. Although
the accounting of funds is trans
acted from Salem, the Eugene
branch has yet the cashier’s of
fice, the handling of the payroll,
and the purchasing and receiving
of goods.
Added to Music Faculty
Doris Helen Patterson has been
added to the faculty of the school
I of music as professor of harp.
! Miss Patterson, who is a resident
! of Eugene and a member of Kap

She is also an advanced organ
student under John Stark Evans,

Opening Whistle of
Conference Season
Spears Shifts Backfield Lineup
To Start Rotenberg, Moeller
Vamlals to Open Game With Veteran Lineup;
Callaiul’s Backs Are Light But Fast;
Passing Attacks Likely
By BRUCE HAMBY
TWO of the Coast conference “dark horse” grid aggregations, Doc
Spears and his Oregon "sophomore squad” and Leo Calland and
his more experienced Vandals, will furnish Portland with its first
glimpse of conference football today at Multnomah stadium as the
two elevens tangle to determine which team shall start the season
undefeated.
Pre-season scores and “barber shop coaches" agree that the teams
are on even terms. The average weights are practically the same.
Both coaches refuse to predict the outcome. Wagers on the final re
sult find few takers, on either side of the fence. So today’s fray prom
ises to provide more than the usual amount of interest.

Two of these teams have al

in preliminary games, and two
others had plenty of difficulty in
coming out ahead in their games.
The southern teams, California and
U. S. C., got off on the wrong
foot and struck tartars in Santa
Clara college and St. Mary’s, who
provided an upset last week-end;
although the northern end, Oregon
State and the University of Wash
ington, took the measure of two
of the most formidable squads in
the Rocky Mountain conference,
the Universities of Utah and
Colorado.

EYES ON W. S. C.
The southern defeat, the north
ern wins and the unpredictable
strength of those teams that have
as yet had no worthy competition
rather tangle up the conference
race. Hollingberry at Washington
State has been the hardest hit by
graduation, losing 17 lettermen and
has only 4 wearers of the “W”
returning around which to build a
successor to last year’s Coast
championship team. Today’s game
with U. C. L. A., fast rising team
of championship caliber, will prove
just how much ground Washing
ton State has lost and what th?
southern team has to show in the
way of improvement.

SEATTLE MEN IN PORTLAND
We see by the papers that the
Seattle business men reciprocated
with a sort of pep call on Port
land last week. You’ll remember
that the Portland body of the
Chamber of Commerce started the
idea last year with the idea of
rousing enthusiasm for the Uni
versity of Washington game that
was held in Portland in 1930 and
will be played in Seattle next
week-end. It seems to us that the
idea is mighty fine when a train
load of busy men will drop their
work for a short while, don root
ers’ lids, and boost for the gate
receipts and attendance of their
respective state institutions. Per
I (Continued on Page Three)
• «joacn spears win start a par
tially revamped eleven today in an
effort to get as many experienced
men into the game as possible. In
the backfield will be big Ed Moel
ler, two-year veteran; Red Roten
berg, flashy half who starred In
last week’s two games; Joe Lil
lard, who failed to show much
then, but who is expected to do
most of the kicking and passing:
and Bud Pozzo, fullback, a trans
fer who has shown great promiss
up to date.
Oregon Line Green
The Webfoot forward wall will
be composed of nearly all green
players. Bailey and Erdley will
start at the wing positions; big
Bill Morgan and Erwin Nilsson,
tackles; Captain Irv Schulz and
Red Wilson, guards; and Eric
Forsta, another two-year vet, cen
ter.
Oregon will have plenty or back
field reserves. Don Watts, Mark
Temple, Mike Mikulak, Leighton
Gee, Choppie Parke, Ray Kelly,
Paul Starr and Howard Bobbitt
will all be on the bench ready to
get into the fray if needed.
Idaho will start with a veteran
lineup. Only Norby, 195 pounds,
fast blocking half, is a sophomore.
Yet he is so good, comes word
from the Vandal camp, that he
will be used as defensive fullback.
The Vandal starting eleven will
probably be Taylor and Berg,
ends; Hall and Bessler, tackles;
Martin and Eiden, guards; Spaugy,
center; Norby and Sackett, half
backs; E. Davis, quarter, and Wil
kie, fullback.
Vandal Backs Fast
The Idaho backfield is composed
of four exceptionally fast players,
averaging only around 150 pounds.
Callnnd’s hope is that they will be
able to get into the open and
thereby “get the jump and then
shoot the works,” as he puts it.
Lillard and Rotenberg, for Ore
gon, and Smith and Davis, for
Idaho, will most likely provide
most of the thrills as far as ball
carrying is concerned. But if
either team should resort to a
passing attack, as close followers
of the two elevens are somewhat
inclined to believe, it may be some
unknown player who will put his
team on the top end of the score
New Psychology Class
Attracts 300 Students
A class in beginners’ psychol
ogy, estimated to contain 300 stu
dents, has been formed this year
under the instruction of Dr. E. S.
Conklin, chairman of the psychol
ogy department. The class is the
9 o’clock section meeting at Vil
lard hall on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday.
The class resulted from the com
bining of two parallel sections of
last year into one unit.
As the size of the class has
eliminated personal discussion, Dr.
Conklin devotes the first 10 or 15
minutes of each class period to
answering written questions hand
ed in by students at the previous
session.
According to Dr. Conklin, It
takes all the skill acquired in his
25 years of teaching to enable
him to hold the attention of his
huge class.
