Thirty-Two Oregon Players
Arrive at Westwood Amidst
Din of UCLA Homecoming
Webfoots in Optimistic Mood as Time Nears foi
Chance at Last Conference Win
By STUART WELLS,
Sports Editor, Daily Bruin
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.—(Ex
clusive to the Emerald.)—Home
coming day! Bruins of Wes'twood
vs. the Ducks of Eugene! The
campus cluttered with old grads.
The big bonfire! California spirit
at its peak! That’s this week-end
at Westwood—the biggest week
end of the year.
While Westwood was in feverish
excitement this morning over the
prospects of the biggest homecom
ing day in history, one of the main
characters in the celebration quiet
ly and unostentatiously made its
appearance on the scene.
Oregonians Arrive
Mr. Espee’s classy West Coast
Limited pulled up at the Glendale
station at 8:05 this morning.
Thirty-three men, their pudgy lit
tle coach, and a few camp follow
ers got off the train. It was the
Oregon football team which plays
the Battling Bruins of Westwood
in the homecoming climax at the
Olympic stadium tomorrow.
A small crowd was on hand to
greet the Oregonians. Newspaper
photographers lined the invaders
up for a few pictures, then Doc
Spears bundled his men off by bus
to the exclusive suburban Beverly
Hills hotel.
Optimism reigned supreme in
the Oregon camp, as the Webfoots,
already possessor of the mythical
championship of the Northwest,
anticipated a victory in their final
conference game of the season.
Webfeet Work Out
After setting themselves up at
the Beverly Hills hotel, the Ducks
traveled out to the stadium where
Spears sent them through a final
and exhaustive practice. It was
not a stiff workout, but it was all
inclusive.
While the Ducks worked out in
the quiet confines of the huge
bowl, excitement reigned suprem
at Westwood. A large crew o
enterprising U. C. L. A. freshmei
were putting the finishing touche
to a huge pile of lumber and pack
ing boxes which late tonight sen
its roaring flames licking into th
sky as thousands of alumni ani
students vociferously acclaime
their alma mater.
Spears and his men were un
perturbed by all the hustle am
bustle of homecoming, and wen
at their duties with a vigor tha
bodes ill for the Bruins on th
morrow.
While the student body joyousl;
looked forward to a victory
Spaulding and his assistant;
gloomily surveyed the prospects a;
one veteran is certain not to start
while two others may be held out.
The certainty is Lenny Berg

tory over the Gaels. Bergdahl i!

a possibility that Captain Normal
Duncan, fullback, and Wally Wei

cause of injuries.
Spaulding says the game will bi
tough, and that's that.

New Grading
Explained by
Compilations
Registrar Office Issues
Point Ayerage Table
Mystery of ABCDF System
Made Clear by List of
Requirements
In order to make clear the whole i
matter of the new grading system :
and the consequent changes in
scholastic regulations, and to cor
rect any misunderstandings arous
ed by previous reports, the regis
trar’s office yesterday released the
following compilation of revised
requirements:
“The fundamental point in the
new system is that the grade point
average, to be commonly spoken
of as the GPA, becomes the basis
of many University requirements.
Points are figured in the same way
as before, by multiplying the hours
of credit given for a course by the
number of points corresponding to
the grade earned. These are: 3
points for A; 2 for B; 1 for C; 0
for 4; and —1 for F. The GPA is
then computed by dividing the sum
of grade points by the total hours
taken; it is a measure of quality.
In all computations, incompletes
are disregarded as to both points
and hours, as they are considered
temporary marks.
Honor Roll Requires B Average
“For mention on the honor roll
a GPA or 2.0, a B average, is re
quired.
“The house rating on the term
grade list is the GPA of the me
dian member of the organization;
that is, the standing of the organ
ization is determined by its aver
age member.
“A GPA of 1.5 (midway between
B and C) is required to receive
more than 16 hours credit in any
term.
Hard To Reconcile Old and New
“The faculty recognized the im
possibility of accurately combining
the grades given under the old and
the new systems; so the new regu
lations apply only to the new
grades, beginning with the present
school year. This is much like
drawing a line at the starting of
this year, applying the old rules to
all grades earned previously, and
applying the new rules to all
grades earned in 1931-32 and sub
sequently.
“A grade point average require
ment is added to the conditions
which must be met for the junior
certificate with upper division
standing and for the bachelors’ de
grees from the University. From
now on, students must have a GPA
of 0.75 or better, based on all
grades under tl}e ABCDF system,
to receive a junior certificate with
upper division standing. In addi
tion, the other requirements as to
number of term hours (93), groups
cleared, and specific course com
pleted, must be satisfied as before.
C Average Needed To Graduate
“Similarly, a GPA of 1.0 (a C
average) is an added requirement
for the total 186 hours needed for
graduation. This, again, is in ad

Gaels Get Biggest
Gates of This Fall
On Western Coast
S’T. MARY’S COLLEGE, San
k Francisco, Nov. £0.—(Spe
cial.)—According to unofficial
figures, the Galloping Gaels of
St. Mary’s college are perhaps
the greatest gate attraction on
the West coast.
Having played eight games
to date, the Gaels have drawn
approximately S 4 7. 0 0 0 fans
through the turnstiles, although
two important games—Oregon i
and Southern Methodist—are
yet to be played.
The largest crowd of the year
was the St. Mary’s-California
eontest when 73,000 fans saw
the Gaels defeat the Bears. De
spite the fact that rain cut into
two crowds, an average attend
ance of 42,000 spectators per
game has been maintained.
dition to major and other require
ments.
"All new regulations in terms
of grade point average will necessi
tate much more consistent scholas
tic performance than in the past.
Previously a student might con
tinue until he had earned 140
hours of grades above V; now not
only more hours but also higher
grades will be needed to raise the
average to 1.0. Consequently, the
faculty considers that these chang
es mean higher standards for the
University.”
“J.C.” Requirements To Be Studied
Requirements for a junior cer
tificate with honors privileges, and
standards for graduate students
under the new grading system are
to be taken up by the Honors
council and the Graduate council
respectively.
Standards for house initiation
have been recommended by facul
ty committees, but the final decis
ion rests with the Pan-Hellenic and
interfraternity organizations.

U.C.L.A. Out After Him
Doctor Spears, the VVebfoot mentor, who will endeavor to keep
the Bruin from u Duck dinner today in Dos Angeles. The Doc Is
entering his last week of his second season here at Oregon.
IN THE PRESS BOX
with Walt Baker ■■■
EEMS that the foul breath of deep and dark secrecy
pervades the atmosphere whenever a collegiate
sport writer attempts to probe the depths of pro
fessionalism and subsidization as It exists at the
present time in amateur sports. Yesterday we were
prepared to run a comparatively mild article upon
I the subject, but it was finally decided by the powers
that be that the thing was of a libelous character
[ and would possibly tread on too many toes for the
i good of Oregon, and so forth, and so forth.
It seems to be pretty bad when nobody can say
in* o mutter thiQ IrinH for ff>np of qtnrtiTKf H Ylfnhf*
that would bid fair to rip the whole affair as wide open as an unbut
toned overcoat. Perhaps the best thing to do is to turn mollycoddle
and write rah, rah stuff about which people know nothing and care
! less.
OREGON FIGURED TO WIN
Now that we have been properly chastised, we'll settle down and
try to version a bit on the U. C. L. A.-Oregon game this Saturday.
Perhaps we’ll even try another prediction—although the wide miss on
; the U. S. C. struggle still irks -say 3 2-0, Oregon. This outcome is
j perhaps based on the fast-rising squad'from down there that has shown
a world of development since the start of the season. For this Satur
day's game, their defense will be intact, the entire first-string line
will be on the job and ready to go. It has been this line, coupled
with the Uclans’ two backfield stars, Duncan and Bergdahl, that has
j been the main reason for the aforementioned rise. This Saturday,
I Bergdahl, the boy who practically beat St. Mary’s single-handed, will
! be on the bencli with an injured leg, and Captain Duncan, according
jto Coach Bill Spaulding, may not get in. Here’s the offense with a
\ big hole in the attack—it may be true—or not—all we get up here
is biased dope from there as a build-up for the game. With these two
[ luminaries either in or out, I believe that Oregon is still the better
j team because when the Webfoot line clicks again, as it is all set to
j do today, it has enough stuff to stop most anything that U. C. L. A.
[ can put on the field.
J FINAL LAP OF SEASON
Oregon, the champion of the Northwest part of the conference,
is in the South for two very tough squabbles within a week for the
j determination of second place on the coast. Winning these two ball
; games will put the Webfeet right up in the running with a most suc
j cessful season behind them—only one defeat. Losing both of them
downs the Oregon squad to the class of mediocrity.
Spears has pulled a new and unbalanced team through the hardest
schedule in the history of the school and so far this season has put
out a team that has eclipsed every hope of even the most optimistic.
As far as winning ball games, the Oregon coaching staff has had
plenty to do more to do in figuring out how to win ball games and
traveling here and there than to be dragged into the squabbles that
have been going the rounds this year. Win, lose, or draw, the Web
feet have picked a few feathers from the tails of the country’s best
j and, while these final games of the season have everything to do with
i the standings, football at Oregon has come through.
St. Mary’s Gaels
Will Come Back,
Affirms Madigan
U. of Oregon and Southern
Methodibt Remain on

ST. MARY'S COLLEGE, San

Mary's team can come back.”
So says Coach Slip Madigan as
he grooms his Galloping Gaels for
! the Oregon and Southern Metho
dist games, the two remaining
i contests on the St. Mary’s sched
i ule.
Back from a trip to Dallas, Tex
as, where he scouted the Southern
l Methodist eleven last Saturday,
Madigan today gathered his scat
tered forces and began prepara
tions to bring the Gaels back to the
top of the gridiron heap.
Rested mentally and physically
; after a week’s absence from uni
; forms, the Gaels once again donned
the grid togs and galloped through
a light workout on a rain-soaked
practice field. With the lone ex
ception of Guard Bill Fischer, ev
ery man appeared set for action.
No longer a jaded and football
tired group of warriors, the Gallop
ing Gaels displayed a new spirit
which bodes ill for future rivals.
Since their double defeats at the
hands of the Olympic club and U,
C. L. A., the Gaels have rested an
entire week and feel ready to once
again demonstrate the same dash
which won them consecutive vic
tories over U. S. C. and Califor
nia.
St. Mary’s Marauders mean tc

they have high hopes of defeatin|
