We read in the Seattle Times today an article that went some thing like this: “The secret is out —Washington is out to get Lillard and Oregon.” And then it went on and elaborated just how and why Phelan and the Washington boys were going to get on and ride Oregon in general and Lil lard in particular. The writeup was all very well, but it seems to be rather tough on Joe, who seems to be the publicity and write-up king of this year’s Oregon var sity. From all the stuff we have seen coming in from other schools. Lillard is the only man in the Ore- j gon backfield and each outfit is perfecting its own way of coping ! with that situation. Perhaps Phe lan, Spaulding, Jones and the rest of the "Boss Men” of the Coast conference will carry on this illu sion just far enough to forget all the other flashy and consistent ball-carriers, concentrate on Lil lard and then stand aside and watch Temple, Gee, Watts, Bob bitt, Pozzo, and the rest of the boys go romping off with the game. It’s quite possible. HUSKIES HAVE NO CAPTAIN As a result of a tie election last year and Phelan’s fear of campus politics, the Washington varsity will be without a regular captain for the first time in many years. Paul Schwegler, tackle, and Bill Marsh tied in the team vote for regular captain at the end of last season, and the result is that the Husky coach will appoint a field captain to work each separate game. This idea is not particu larly new, although a good many teams in the conference use the idea, but it will nevertheless be interesting to watch just how it works out in its first season at the northern school. * * * HUFFORD WILL PLAY The old hue and cry an injury to Merle Hufford, the Husky, is out again. Regularly, before the Oregon-Washington game for the past two years, Hufford, potential All-American, and the big threat in the ..Washington backfield, has developed an injury that has kept him out of the game in its en The Inimitable!

A dis patch from the University of Washington stated today that he came out of the Montana game with a leg injury that may or may not keep him out of the game Sat urday. Personally, we are willing to place a little bet that “Irish Jimmy” Phelan is not considering going on the field minus his serv ices. And so, the Oregon fans who have been denied seeing him perform at his best may rest as sured that they will see him put in his best appearance at Seattle next Saturday. $ * * FROSH BATTLE VARSITY And the daily grind continues. Doc Spears has a good share of his famous geniality back again, although he hasn’t let up on the : boys in practice a bit. Special line j work, featuring the protection of the passer and kicker, and the backfield men drilling on an aerial game took up most of the time until quitting time at 7 o’clock last night. A mighty fine bunch of fresh men took the wind out of the sails of the varsity Monday night with Washington formations and plays, Koska, Morse, Brown, Peppinjack, and Eldridge running over the older team for big gains time after time. But it was a different story last night. The varsity, get ting accustomed to the peculiar Phelan spinner and cutback plays, shifted into line and piled up most everything that came along. Of course they didn’t stop it all, but this frosh outfit looks good. Keane Recovering From Operation, Says Report Reports from the infirmary say that Gordon Keane, who under went an operation for appendicitis at the Pacific Christian hospital Monday, is doing very nicely, and Bob De Graff, who has been con fined at the infirmary for several days, will be dismissed soon. One new patient, Roy Morgan, varsity football man, was admit ted for treatment yesterday.

Team Drills For Saturday Seattle Tilt Varsity Meets Frosli in Practice Game Coach Stresses the Need of Offense and Defense Fundamentals Coach Doc Spears continued to drive his team through another of those stiff three-hour practice ses sions yesterday as the coming con test with the Univer sity of Washington next Saturday at Se attle draws near. Drill in pass of fense and defense f u n d a m e ntals was the main dish in yester day’s workout. Last Satur day s game witn Doc Spears Idaho showed Spears that Oregon had plenty of reserve backs and also that the line needed a lot of drill. Time and time again the Vandal for wards sifted through and nailed the Webfoot backs in their tracks. Unless Spears is able to strengthen this defect it may prove a difficult task for Lillard, Temple, and the other speedy Duck ball-carriers to get started. Under the direction of Coach Jack O’Brien, who scouted the Huskies last week, a freshman eleven was sent against the var sity, using some of the plays with which the Huskies swamped Mon tana. Another part of the session was devoted to perfection of a pass offense with Lillard and Rotenberg doing the throwing. The squad will go through two more heavy workouts today and tomorrow before leaving Thursday night for Seattle. Friday the Web feet will limber up on the turf grid iron at the Husky stadium. THACHER IS NATIONAL “AD” OFFICER AGAIN (Continued from Page One) ing Clubs association, was initi ated by the Seattle chapter into associate membership on Saturday. The delegates from Oregon were entertained during the convention by the Seattle advertising club and the University advertising club. Highlights of the trip, according to Schenk, were yachting and air plane trips, and a banquet and dance at the Seattle Yacht club. W. H. Palmer of Syracuse, New York, was elected national presi dent of Alpha Delta Sigrfta, and; the 1933 convention will be held in Syracuse. On the way to the convention, the delegates were entertained by the Portland Advertising club at a luncheon. Here Schenk was pre sented with the Portland Adver tising club scholarship of $150 given yearly to the most outstand ing junior in advertising. He also gave the speech at this luncheon ! with which he won the Pacific Coast Advertising club prize at their convention in Long Beach, California, last June. At this con vention Schenk represented the local chapter of Alpha Delta Sig ma and the Portland Advertising club. League Difficult Topic For Debates, Says Miller "We find it quite difficult to win a debate on the League of Na tions,” said Robert Miller, one of the trio of Pacific Basin debaters, while at Sydney, Australia, in a letter to Walter E. Hempstead, of the speech department. Continuing his letter, Miller ad ded, “Usually the audience renders the decision, and on such occasions it is absolutely impossible to de fend the stand of the United States on the league. No matter how well one presents the case, or how poor the opposition, you can never get any place, because the people will vote against the United States. One has to watch what he says an awful lot, as everything that you even suggest in conversation comes out in the newspapers as the United States speaking.” The debaters receive wonderful receptions wherever they go, and are very cordially entertained. ORGANIZATIONS VOTE ON OPEN HOUSE FATE (Continued from l’tiflc One) today or lunch tomorrow, and are to have the vote of every resident or non-resident of their organiza tions on the final tally. The voting is to be tabulated by classes so the Open House ar bitration board will have an accu rate picture of campus opinion on the question. Serving on the special student committee yesterday were: Brian Mimnaugh, student body presi dent: Ann Baum, A. W. S. head; Paul Bale, Cliff Beckett, and Con Hammond, of the interfraternity council; Janice Hedges, president of heads of houses; Don Cart wright, sponsor of Sigma hall; and Willis Duniway, editor of the Em erald.

Using Washington plays, the yearlings have been making consistent gains through the var sity line, displaying Coach Phelan's newly introduced shift with much vim and vigor. From the huge squad of more than fifty men several backs and linemen have shown near varsity prowess against their more experf enced company. A huge halfback named Koska, a mere 195 pounds of youthful vigor, has been show ing his heels to many of his fel low mates. His drive and speed should prove quite a help to Spears in the future. Elmer (The Great) Brown, much talked of flash from Bend, is also working himself into a steady job under Callison. Morse, Pepinjack, and Eldridge are other backfield men who are coming to the front. From the host of behemoths on the list, the line should average nearly as heavy as the varsity for ward wall. Tucker and Simpson at ends weigh close to 190, while Eagle and Fry, tackles, are both well over 200 pounds. Cotting and Paul keep the average up by tip ping the beams at 190 and 185 re spectively. Thomas, a leading can didate for the center berth, al though small in comparison, is holding down his job’in good, style. Although the candidates men tioned are playing against the Ore gon Varsity, they are by no means Callison’s final choice. Selections will probably be made soon in readiness for the initial conflict of the 1931 campaign, Saturday, against the Monmouth Normal Super-Varsity on Hayward field. PACIFIC DEBATERS WIN AUSTRALIAN ACCLAIM (Continued from Fugc One) how the “bright American humor won a debate on the topic 'This Jazz Age’.” “Breezy witticisms threw the audience into fits of laughter" when the debaters ex changed ideas on a modern subject. “Assert yourself, even if you have to run off with the iceman, is what an American writer re cently told women to do,” argued Pfaff. “A young man,” he continued, “has just* written a book which tells you 42 different ways to kiss. Price a shilling.” “You’ll find a young wife with a cigarette in the corner of her mouth getting the soup ready. Awful!” H. M. Storey of Sydney in reply to Pfaff says, “He deplores a book of 42 ways in which to kiss. I think it is a masterpiece that an author could think of so many ways. “I’ve heard people say that the modern young woman is a flapper with clothes her only thought. I defy anyone to say that she is entirely wrapped up in her clothes.” Robert Miller, said the Labor Daily, cross-examined the Austra lian with this, question: “Would you not say that alcohol is the greatest menace to the United States today?” “Certainly not,” the host replied, “I’d say it was A1 Capone.” Mr. Miller claimed that the pres ent world giddiness had sprung from the chaotic conditions which snook the world in 1914-18.

It saves the actual British gold supply. 3. It will act as a stimulant to British industry. 4. It revives the old perplexing question as to whether a country should have gold or silver as its monetary standard, or both, or completely abandon precious met als and resort to a managed cur rency. The action which England has just taken is merely a temporary remedy, Dr. Morris explained. It relieves the tenseness of the situ ation, but it is probably not a remedy for the present business depression. “The United States has 50 per cent of the world's gold supply, and whatever may be said against gold, there is not the slightest chance that silver will replace it as the monetary standard of the lead ing countries of the world,” he continued. "But if all the countries will agree to use silver (an agree ment only to be arrived at by a world conference), then the United States will probably use it too. “If England and the other con tinental countries continue to abandon the gold standard for an indefinite length of time, the chief banking center of the world will bo New' York, for that city will have to do the business that Lon don did in Europe.” Correspondence Student Makes Good as Playwrite Miss Helen Norris, of Medford, whose plays have been broadcast over the Oakland station, was re cently given a contract by the Na tional Broadcasting company for several one-act plays. Miss Norris finished a portion of her high school course by Uni versity correspondence and the equivalent of one year in college. She was interested primarily in the writing field and wrote for several years. Finally a local ra dio station in Medford produced a short one-act play. The manager of an Oakland, California, station then asked for more of the same type of one-act plays. These were also broadcast and now Miss Nor ris has received her contract with the National Broadcasting com pany. Not content with resting on these laurels, Miss Norris is now taking courses in English and American poetry by correspond ence, and we may confidently ex pect much more of her. Husky Mentor Dissatisfied With Showing Made By Team W or king Hard for OrgeonT ilt UNIVERSITY OF WASHING TON, Seattle, Oct. 6.—(Special).— If "Irish Jimmy’’ Phelan, Husky football coach, is really as pessi mistic as he tells the sport scribes, Washington's chances to go very far in the Pacific coast conference this year are very slim. According to Phelan, he has practically no team at all. He comes forth to the effect that he is weak at center, and he cannot find a pair of guards that is able to hold its own in a tough battle. But that isn’t all on top of that, the ends are far from coming up to expectations, and he has failed to find a man to team with Paul Schwegler at tackle. When looking over his bunch of bnckfield candidates he holds his head and moans because he isn’t able to find a combination that will click-for any length of time. In other words, the picture that Phelan paints shows nothing but dark clouds hovering closely over a dismal, foggy football field. However, it seems everyone does j not have the same gloomy outlook as “Irish Jimmy.” True, Washing ton did not do so well against Montana last Saturday, but after all, six or seven touchdowns | scored while holding the opponent to a large goose-egg is not a bad afternoon’s work for any football team. In this game the Huskies played beautiful defensive ball, but could n't get their offense functioning | properly. Every once in a while they would get together and run a touchdown across the line, but then t hey would lag back and play listless football again. The times when Washington did work smoothly were wonderful to behold, according to the reports, as every man took out his opponent and the line opened huge gaps in faultless fashion. In addition to the experienced men Phelan has working this year, there were a few outstanding sophomores to make an appear ance against Montana. Pederson and Walcott played a big share in the defeat of Oakes’ Grizzlies when they broke out with the first touchdown on a pass, and Frank lin, another first-year halfback aspirant, ripped off a G5-yard run through the whole Montana de fense a short time later for another six points. And Phelan shouldn’t feel so tough after the Utah tussle either. Washington was fortunate to squirm through with a 7-to-6 vic tory, but at the same time playing Utah in an early season game is very different from scrimmaging the freshmen for an an afternoon.

The last defeat for Utah -• before Washington turned the trick was the loss of a 13-to-7 battle against Northwestern uni versity in Chicago four years ago. t In addition to that when the time came around to pick an all-Rocky mountain conference eleven last year, Utah placed seven men on the first string. Any team with a | record like that cannot be such a poor ball club as Phelan would lead one to think when he cries out the weaknesses that Washing ton showed in that contest. Phelan realizes that he will meet his first big test; when his Wash ington hopefuls meet Doc Spears’ warriors from Kugcne here Satur day. Upon liiis skirmish depends the future of the purple and gold machine in the league standings, and the whole strength will be mobilized for the Webfoot fray. Washington used second string men for a good part of the Mon tana affair and most of the regu lars are in tip-top shape. This coming game will also be another hurdle for the Oregon out fit on its rough conference path, and although so far Washington has been given the edge, the Huskies will have to work in much better style than they did last week-end to be in the running with the Webfoots.
