In the PRESS BOX with Walt Baker While Oregon is still all smiles after Saturday's game in Seattle, up in Washington they are still scratching their heads and won dering just “how come.” For the boys that were passing out 21 point odds earlier last week and then finally 10-7 for seven points on Washington Friday night, rather came a cropper, when the wily Doctor Spears outfoxed Jim my Phelan and the Webfeet out fought Washington to a 13-0 vic tory. To those that follow fobtball closely, the win was not so en tirely unexpected as the majority of the fans seem to think. Th? ballyhoo of newspapers, creating the Huskies as a potential confer ence champion and Oregon with a fighting team but without a whole lot in the way of wanning chances, brought about one of those situa tions. But no one but the wise ones, who never say much, count ed on the Spears football canni ness. I ' Who ever thought that the Doc tor had a couple of kickers that could get out 60- and 65-yard kicks, tucked away in his sleeve j some place ? Certainly not the dopesters and least of all Phelan | It was even a surprise to the Ore j gon rooters, when Leighton Ge® dropped back to kick, deep in hi? own territory, with Merle Hufford playing in close for a 35-yard at tempt, and then uncorked a long, low kick that caught Plufford flat footed and rolled out of bounds on the 14-yard line, to put the Huskies on the defensive, where they stayed for the greater pai*'1 cf the afternoon. ■ * * * OKEGON BLOCKS PASSES Who thought that the highly touted Washington passing attack would be met with such a com plete covering of eligible receiv ers ? After taking in the Idaho game, where the pass defense did not function any too perfectly, and then looking at the entirely re vamped plan of pass defense, the Webfeet and Spears deserve plenty of credit for putting on the field a nearly impregnable defense for this department of the game. Whereas formerly the Webfeet sent the whole line through in at tempt to stop the throw before it got in the air and spill the play for a loss, the ends dropped back into a zone defense in the danger territory and completely messed up the receiving end of things, leaving the passer free to throw, and his blocking backs standing around with nothing to do. It was probably one of the best executed and effective covering seen in the Seattle stadium for some time; at any rate, the Husky pass combina tion of Hufford to Marsh struck a snag and lost most of its efficency. OREGON’S PASSES And while all this was going on, Don Watts, with Red Bailey on the receiving end, flipped passes all around the field for just about as fine a combination as you could hope for. The first pass play that started the Oregon touchdown drive and the same combination that followed would look good in any league. With tacklers clutch ing his knees and two pairs of arms just about to smother him, Watts tossed the ball into the arms of Bailey, who fished it out of the hands of two Washington defense men for a five-yard gain. Immediately afterward, W a 11 s j tossed another to Bailey, who was ; downed on the goal line but could ' not quite sneak across for the, necessary six points, thereby caus ing Phelan's Irish blood to boil over and protest that Don was not five yards behind the scrim-1 mage line when he let it go, only 1 six men on the line and another technicality or two. But it was good, and to Lillard fell the set-up of carrying the ball across on the next play. That was only two of them, but there were others that were just as good, if not as spec tacular. If the Webfeet unroll anything like that down South this week-end, Southern California is going to have something to talk about. Los Angeles may even have a case of the dumps, like those Oregon left in Seattle this last Sat urday. It remains to be seen. Domestic Art Instructor Attends Meet in Seattle Mary Elizabeth Starr of the do- 1 mestic art department attended a conference on home economics at the University of Washington this week-end, according to word re ceived here.

A. STOCKER M. B. COSTELLOE Webfeet Back at Practice Grind for Coming Contest With Southern California Ducks and Trojans Lead Conference Race With Perfect Records By BRUCE HAMBY T?ACK down to earth again after their sensational upset victory over the Huskieslast Saturday, Doc Spears and his "green, inexperi enced sophomore” eleven settled down to two days of hard workouts before leaving Wednesday noon for Los Angeles, where they meet Howard Jones and his Trojans, now tied with Oregon for the confer ence lead. Yesterday’s practice consisted mainly of a rough-and-tumble scrimmage between the second and third string elevens. Profiting by the recent experience of Oregon State, Spears evidently does not intend to take any chances of be ing left with no experienced re serves should the weather prove to be warm. Last Saturday's games changed the conference standings quite a little, Oregon and Southern Cali fornia, with wins over Washington and Washington State, respective ly, remain at the top of the heap. Washington, Idaho, and Washing ton State, with one win and one defeat, come next, and Oregon State, U. C. L. A., and Montana are at the bottom. California and Stanford have yet to play a con ference game. Watts’ Pass Disputed Up in Seattle folks are still i wondering what happened. Some are still crabbing about Watts’ pass to Bailey, claiming that Don was not five yards behind the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball. Phelan protested at the time, but officials ruled that the play was legal, and that ended all but the crying. For sheer drama the two fourth quarter touchdowns by Oregon could not have been surpassed. When Red Bailey hauled down Watts’' pass on the one-yard line, most of the 35,000 spectators could not seem to grasp the situation. For three quarters they had wait ed for a Husky score. But the Oregon rooting section got the f point and a wilder crowd of cheer ing maniacs never attended a foot ball game. Bowerman Hero of Day Five minutes later, as Sohn, Hufford, and the other Purple-and Gold backs desperately and suc cessfully marched toward the Ore gon goal line, Bill Bowerman pro vided another thrill for a now thoroughly awakened crowd as he ran and stumbled 87 yards along the sidelines after intercepting Hufford's lateral pass to Marsh, for Oregon's second score. The work of Mike Mikulak at; defensive fullback was the talk of Seattle. He was blamed by Wash ington rooters as having been the direct cause of the failure of at least half the Husky offense. Duck Kickers Shine The punting of Leighton Gee hand Joe Lillard was one of the greatest features of the game. Eleven times they booted the pig skin for a total of 456 yards, or an average of around 41 yards. The Ducks returned in fairly good condition. Irv Schulz and Bill Morgan are still nursing minor shoulder injuries, but will probably be in shape to start the Trojan contest. The Huskies did not fare so well, for Bill Marsh, quarterback, injured his leg so badly that he will not be able to i play for some time. Last night the team practiced until 7 o’clock under the lights at Hayward field and from 7 to 11 o’clock at McArthur court, running through signals. Manchurian Situation Is Real Test, Says a Chinese Student MANCHURIAN SITUATION—A.. By MAXIMO PULIDO The present friction between China and Japan over the old Man churian question is a real test whether or not the Covenant of the League of Nations, the Washing ton treaty of 1922, and the Kellogg Anti-War pact are mere scraps of paper, according to Wu Tang, senior in the law school, whose home is in Hankow, China. “The South Manchuria Railway company, a Japanese government controlled concern, led the eploita tion of the country with a view to monopolizing all economic and in dustrial enterprises and crushing the interest of the Chinese them selves,’’ Tang declared. “In recent years, however, the Chinese have been developing their own industries and Japan felt ag grieved, as she saw they would ob struct her schemes. The Japanese found a convenient instrument in the immigrations of the Koreans to ‘colonize’ the country. During flOLONIAI TONITE ONLY I , Kxiiq&j Li Heigh! It’s DIME NITE Every Seat in the House TOMTE 1 AC 1 ONLY Jb the past three months the clash of the Koreans and the Chinese at Wampaoshan, the anti - Chinese massacres in Korea, and the Naka mura case happened in succession, putting the Sino-Japanese diplo matic relations under great strain. “On September 18th, falsely al leging rne destruction of a bridge by some Chinese, the Japanese troops on the Manchuria railway instantly started in many direc tions to disarm the Chinese garri sons in South Manchuria. The railway zone, being soon outrun, the Japanese soldiers speedily oc cupied Mukden, the capital, and practically all other strategic points. The entire governmental machinery was seized; numerous Chinese officials were driven out and subjected to all forms of in sults and indignity. The Chinese army and police forces were both forcibly disarmed. The number of men, women, and children, includ ing foreigners, killed by the Japan ese troops, as reported by press dispatches, is indeed deplorable and alarming. “The action of the Japanese troops are in many ways atrocious and tend to upset the peace and order of the Far East.

According to him, he came to America to study so that when he goes back to his fatherland, he will help educate his people in or der to make China united, inde pendent, and treated as a civilized country should be. He said that the Chinese are not militarily pre pared but the most effective weapon they have against Japan . is boycott. It is already started in China and it is probably the j thing that provokes Japan so ! much. “I appreciate the move taken by the League of Nations and the gov ! ernment of the United States in urging an immediate cessation of hostilities. Japan must either give I up completely the places unlawful ly occupied or become once and for all the enemy of the peace of mankind. The spirit of the League Covenant, the nine-power treaty of Washington, and the Kellogg pact must not be suffered to die at the hands of Japanese aggres sion,” Tang concluded. - I Fletcher and Day Named On Upper Class Dance Ferd Fletcher, senior, and Gor don Day, junior, were yesterday appointed as committee chairmen j for an upperelass dance to be held !

Looms as Loader Of Conference Loop; Mohler Flashes Oregon Gains Prestige by Win Over Huskies in Seattle Saturday UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, Los Angeles, Oct. 12. (Special!—Southern Califor nia's crushing defeat of Washing- j ton State in the Coliseum last Sat urday has brought hopes anew that the coast title may return to the South this year. The victory of Howard Jones' I smashing eleven and the return to form of the elusive speed-boy, Orv Mohler, have caused Trojan fol lowers to take new interest in their team. After the disappoint ing trouncing at the hands of St. Mary's, U. S. C. was regarded as being a tremendously overrated: outfit. This was dispelled the follow ing week-end, however, when Ore- i gon State was dropped from the conference running by a 30-to-0 count, but the perplexing feature of it all was whether or not the return to the old power-house tac tics would be permanent for the Trojans. Now that they have displayed the same sort of tearing offense and unyielding defense for the sec ond successive week, plus the sparkling influence of a rejuve nated Mohler, Southern California once more is boosted to the posi tion as the logical winner of the conference championship. Mohler rode rough-shod over and around the entire Holling berry combination for four of his team’s six touchdowns, and was on his way to another when the game ended. The rest of the time he was the driving force which made the Trojan attack work so beautifully. Southern California totaled 18 first downs from scrim mage as compared with six for the Cougars, showing its overwhelm ing superiority for the day’s work. Oregon rose to be the real con tender in the North as a result of its impressive victory over the Huskies, 13 to 0. This matter of supremacy will be settled for the year next Saturday, when the Webfoots tangle with the Trojans here in the Coliseum. From the showing made by Mohler and his teammates last Saturday and the week before, it seems that there can be but one outcome—a win for Southern Cal ifornia. However, Doc Spears’ men are a real threat in any man's league this year, and in addition they are improving rapidly all the time. But even so, it just doesn’t seem in the cards that they can hope to batter down and break through the well-protected walls of Troy with its veteran squad set for the onslaught. Flowers Much Like Humans Says a University Gardener “Flowers are like human beings in a great many ways,” said Sam Mikkelson, head gardener at the University of Oregon, as he cut faded roses and placed them in his deep basket. “Just as no two hu man beings will thrive under the same conditions, so plants and flowers of various kinds must have different kinds of treatment. Soil conditions and air conditions, for example, have widely differing ef fects on different plants. “Of course," he continued, “you can’t learn all there is to know about plants and gardening even if you learn something new every time you go into the garden every day during a life-time. X have been on this campus for almost eleven years, and I was in California as a gardener for another twenty years, and I am still learning. I can't think of any other calling that requires the ceaseless care and vigilance necessary to garden ing, or tSe careful planning. The campus as a whole must be taken into consideration each time we move a tree or landscape around a new building. For exam ple, we wished to plant shrubbery in the corner between Friendly hall and the Journalism building. At the same time the lawn around the new Campbell Memorial museum presented a problem which was to be solved only by using large quan tities of sod from other parts of the campus. Because we planned ahead, we were able to do what might have seemed impossible planted a growing lawn. “X liked Oakland. I found that, while plants, flowers, and fruits of all kinds ripened earlier, soil conditions were about like they are here. You could find very fertile soil not very far away from the most unproductive type. With careful attention to the needs of each of the plants, you can always suit the plant to the soil, or enrich the soil to suit the plant. "There has been a wonderful im EIS^M3JSIi>Ilnllinpr3l51liil(SlliUranaiiiinai51lranilIElIiUI provement in the campus since I first came here,” Mikkelson added. "It has spread out, and the im proved area has been greatly in creased. There has been an enor mous increase in enrollment, too, of course. As for buildings, when I first came Susan Campbell hall and the Women’s building, or rath er Gerlinger hall, were just being completed. I did all the landscape gardening around them.” SEATTLE RINGS WITH BIG BAND SERENADES (Continued from Page One) concert was given before one of the large theatres. In the big Washington bowl, be tween halves, the band marched over the turf field, very colorful in their flashy caped uniforms, executing letters of the two univer sities in large formations. The Washington band led the triumph ant Webfeet in a serpentine over the turf. Friday evening, between trains in Portland, the band marched through the streets of that city, advertising the game. As a result of the intensive drive to secure Oregon support at Seattle, over 8,000 Oregonians were in the stands Saturday afternoon. As the game announcer said at Seattle between halves: "Oregon has one of the finest bands on the Pacific coast.” COLLEGE MEN LIKE Trench Coats and the price is only $4*50 I’ll.! favorites on every campus—warm and swagger looking—made to endure the activity of college life.
