    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

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.

Coach Doc Spears continued to

Univer sity of
Washington next
Saturday at Se

was the main

day’s workout.

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.

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

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

the question.
Serving on the special student

Hammond, of the interfraternity

Frosli Scrimmage
Uncovers Future
Varsity Material
Callison’s Yearlings Use
Phelan Shift Against
Doc Spears’ Team
Scrimmage with the varsity has j
been Prink Callison’s course of
diet for his freshman football1
squad during the past few days, ^
and in so doing he has uncovered
some unusual talent in the Frosh
ranks. 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

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.

standard as Norway, Sweden,, and
Denmark already have done.
2. 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.

to be taken lightly in any league. jj
Utah had run up a string of 23 ij
consecutive wins before the Husky |
game. 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.
