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.

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

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. The alleged

railway cutting incident is itself
impossible, for the South Manchur
ia railway is garrisoned by the
Japanese troops and no accident
' could take place unless at Japan
ese connivance.”
Tank is deeply interested in the
1 development of affairs in China.
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.

The Comeback

U.S.C. 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.”
