member has been

years and now is out to win games
rather than hold its opponents. The
Uclans are expected to give Ore
gon a severe test when the two
teams line up November 21 at Los
Angeles.
Recently the Bruins journeyed
back to Evanston, 111., to meet the
strong Northwestern football team
and these coast men played a spec
tacular game against the probable
champions in the middlewest dis
trict. It was the stubborn defense
of the far westerners that caused
the ripple of astonishment through
out the grandstand. The score of
this game was 19 to 0 in favor of
Northwestern but the predicted re
sult was much more lop-sided.
The Oregon men have a chance
to recuperate after their upset of
N. Y. U. last week as they have
no game this week. Then come
games in successive weeks and in
every one of them tough oppon
ents. The Bruin game comes the
Saturday following the Homecom
ing encounter- with Oregon State
and for this reason will make the
southern team’s chances better.
Spears will probably take this
game in stride and not point for it
as the more important St. Mary's
contest comes five days later.
Spaulding’s team is not lacking
in outstanding men this season
either. Captain Duncan, fullback,
was heralded one of the best de
fensive men seen in action in the
middlewest this year. He will be
in the game November 21 to stop
the bruising line thrusts of Temple
and Gee. Oliver, center; Wellen
dorf, end; and a new star, Stickel,
tackle, are important cogs in the
line.
On paper Oregon has to be rated
higher than U. C. L. A., but paper
dope is upset too often to be valid.
Oregon defeated Washington 13 to

to consider the game “in the bag.’
These two important games
played thus far by the U. C. L. A
Bruins have caused that team tc
be confident rather than disheart

have done marvelously well consid

two of the outstanding teams of

Northwestern have been defeated

Spears Puts Reserve Men
Through Long Scrimmage
With Frosli on Return Home
Webfeet Faced With Three Hard Games During
Next Twelve Days
Giving his men little time to rest
after their 3000 mile trip across
; the continent. Coach Doc Spears
i sent the entire second and third
stringers through a three-hour
scrimmage yesterday with Prink
Callison's husky freshmen. Most
of the first string members sat on
j the bench.
Spears is not letting any grass
i grow on Hayward field while he is
! faced with three of the season's
hardest games — with Oregon
State, U. C. L. A., and St. Mary’s,
all in a period of 12 days. The
first contest comes on Saturday,
November 14.
Leighton Gee, who performed so
sensationally in New York, was
reported laid up with influenza and
did not show up for practice yes
terday. Red Rotenburg, who is
still bothered with a sprained an
kle acquired in practice before the
Violet game, was the only other
not present.
Practice Against Frosli
The freshmen gave the varsity
players quite a roughing yesterday.
Paul Starr, reserve half and star
sprinter on Bill Hayward's track'
team, showed several bursts of
' speed as he reeled off considerable
yardage against the yearlings.
Homey dePittard, Don Watts and
Ray Kelly were used through most
of the scrimmage.
Spears will continue to hold the
gruelling practices for the team
until just before the Oregon State
game. There are eight days left
before the annual Homecoming
classic.
Players who made the trip re
ported that the longest workouts
they have had were on ends of the
trip across the continent. On Tues
day morning after the squad ar
rived in New York they were sent
through a three-hour drill. The
same thing happened on their re
turn to Eugene.
Scout O. S. C. Game
Gene Shields and Jack O'Brien,
who scouted the Oregon State
Washington State contest in Port
land last Saturday, brought back
a long list of Beaver plays and
Spears expects to have the frosli
use them in scrimmage against
the varsity. The Webfoot mentor
is plainly worried about the out
come of the coming clash and plans
to work the team hard in order to
get them into the best possible
condition.
IN THE PRESS BOX
======= with Walt Baker =========
OME again! You
could almost see
the words print
ed across the
faces of the
Webfeet when
they stepped off
the train in Eu
gene today.
Three solid
weeks of train
riding and football have been a
pretty hard dish to get down and
still fail to leave their traces. They
looked a little tired this noon when
faced with the biggest gathering
for a team’s homecoming ever as
j sembled at Oregon and the after
i noon’s program did alleviate that
feeling a bit, we would hazard a
guess.
The first day back home gave
them just barely time to change
clothes and then hustle up to a
workout to start in immediately
in getting out that rail stiffness.
Probably what was one of the
toughest scrimmages of the year
lasted till about 6:30 under the
field lights. As usual the Frosh
team furnished the cannon-fodder
and took all that the varsity had
to offer, right in the chin for two
and a half solid hours—a business
like greeting to celebrate their re
turn.
* * *
DUMB FOOTBALL
But aside from the sob angle of
the thing, the Wefofeet are going
to need everything in that old bag
of tricks that Spears ever put
there, for the Oregon State game.
There’s one ball club that will put
up one lively scrap for the annual
Homecoming event. Last Saturday
while the Ducks were taking New
York to the cleaners, the Orange
men played perhaps what was one
of the dumbest and heart-breaking
games of football to lose to Wash
. ington State. According to every
1 possible statistic and any amount
of figuring, Oregon State should
have won. The lack of a field gen
eral and the inability to pull them
selves together in the pinches cost
them a win—and don’t think that
they’re not going to do something
to prevent the same thing from
happening again.
GOOD MATERIAL, AT O. S. C.
Schissler has lots of good ma
terial over there—Hal i£oe, who is
perhaps one of the outstanding
the coast; Buck
Hammer, a rough
and tough center
who raised lots of
trouble with the
Oregon line last
year; Davis and
Curtin, as fine a
combination o f
ends as he could
wish; and a back
field of Biancone,
[ ijitut, ivuoi,, ivam^uui, vvaiu, aim
a host of other A-l material that
ought to be getting started along
about now if they plan on coming
up to their potentialities. No ques
tion about it—there’s plenty of
material over at State and the
Oregon game is just about the
right time for it to swing into ac
tion.
Also, we hear that Schissler Is
visioning the handwriting on the
wall and contract or not, four loss
es and one win (assuming that O.
S .C. beats Montana) will start
the ball rolling toward some kind
of a shift. What better psycholog
ical setting could anyone wish for ?
Perhaps Paul John would just as
soon not have the setting as is and
be represented in the win column
a couple of times to date but tak
ing things as they are, he has a
perfect blueprint for an emotional
appeal that should be able to tear
loose the dressing-room tables.
* * «
OREGON AT TOP
Oregon is fresh from a win over
one of the strongest teams in the
country and Doc Spears is back in
the good graces of the crepe-hang
ers and back-seat drivers that were
hot on his trail after the U. S. C.
game. They’re at the top of a heap
that means three more teams yet
this season are going to do every
thing possible to topple them off.
Oregon State has its teeth set for
a victory over Oregon and they
i have the stuff to put up a spec
tacular battle over the decision.
The Webfeet clicked in New
York —they didn't in Los Angeles
and the question in the offing is
"What will they do agafhst. Ore
i gon State ?”
Grad’s Ambition
Comes True With
Published Story
Although a roving, adventur
seeking journalist, William (Billj
Akers, graduate in journalism, ’24,
has reached his long dreamed-of
ambition.
The Air Stories magazine has ac
cepted one of Akers' stories and
has* published it as the lead story
in the October issue. “Trial by
Tracer” is the title of the story.
Akers was police reporter on the
Yakima Daily Republic in the
spring of 1929, and later worked in
a brokerage office in Seattle. Af
;ter taking leave to go to Portland
for a short time, he started writ
ing fiction. It was while in Port
land that he had this, his first
story, accepted.
As a roving journalist his ex
perience has been wide. He was on
the sea for two years, fished,
punched cattle, chauffeured, sur
veyed, and spent two years in the
Cassiar country in northern British
Columbia. While in the Cassiar
country he freighted with tractors,
rafted supplies, ran donkey en
gines, killed moose, and mined.
He has always been interested in
writing fiction but has just seen
success. He once covered a yacht
regatta for the Mobile, Alabama
Register and his prestige in the
eyes of the managing editor wa
enhanced when the latter learned
of his graduation from the Univer
sity of Oregon school of journal
ism.

Cast-Iron Cords
Battle Invasions
Of Laundry Cuts
Another solidly entrenched Uni
versity tradition may go the way
of the old frosh parade if the
laundry war now raging in Eu
gene has its reverberations on the
campus. The time-honored custom
of dirty cords is threatened with
extinction.
The antics of the Domestic and j
Eugene Steam laundries in their]
rate-cutting battle has reached
the stage where it's almost as I
cheap to have cords laundered as i
to wear them soiled. Reports from
many of the men's houses indicate
that the laundries are doing a land
office business in restoring campus
cords to their normal (or abnor
mal ?) hue.
Brief surveys conducted by mem
bers of the Emerald staff reveal
that the trend is meeting with dis
tinct approval on the part of the
faculty, co-eds, and school health
authorities. Unless the laundry
war comes to an early termina-!
tion, another campus tradition
may pass into the discard.
“Of course," points out Claire
Meisel, senior in architecture, de
fending the dirty cord tradition,
“it’s a good deal more convenient
having your old cords stand up
over night, and just jump into
them in the morning and dash
away to your eight o’clock. And
clean cords just won't stand up at
your bedside."
effective way of making the opin
ion of the citizens of Eugene

The petition which was distrib

captains is worded as follows:
“We, the following residents of
Eugene, Oregon, do hereby peti
tion that the American delegation
to the World Disarmament confer
ence at Geneva in February, 1932,
be instructed to pursue a policy of
substantial reduction in- the arma
ments of all nations."
The petition is addressed to
President Hoover.
Petitions must be turned in to

National Firm
V. Hall Promoting Sales
For Advertising Group
In Oregon District
Circulating and creating a mar
ket for the newspaper publishers
and retail advertisers’ calendar is
the first step Vinton Hall, former
editor of the Emerald, has taken
into the field of advertising.
The calendar is one of the ad
vertising specialties of which the
Special Newspaper service, a na
tional syndicate, is promoting the
sales. Hall is divisional salesman
in the Oregon territory.
This particular specialty was de
signed by Harry B. Rutledge, who
is president of the national field
managers’ association. It is some
thing new and is merely a tool for
the advertiser. Its primary pur
pose is to give the advertiser ideas
concerning interesting and timely
copy. Included on the calendar
are hints and valuable tips for
every day of the week with holi
days listed \.ld: :.cw helpful ideas.
Karl Thunemann, advertising
manager of McMorran and Wash
burne, declares the calendar is an
innovation in the advertising field
and is of great value to the adver
tisers.
Hall has already made contacts
with various newspapers and ad
vertisers, and has made a number
of week-end trips around his ter
ritory presenting the advantages
of the calendar and promoting its
sales.
