Bronco Nagurski.
Doc’s Backs.
Cougars Mere.
-By DICK NEUBERGEK*_
|F you want to hear about a real
ly great football player, get
either Doc Spears or Jack O’Brien
to tell you about
Bronco Nagurski.
Both Doc and
Jack agree that
the big Ukran
ian boy who
played tackle and
fullback for Min
nesota deserves
to be ranked as
™ me lore
most figures in Bronco
American foot- Nagurski
ball. They never get tired describ
ing the exploits of the mighty
Bronco, whose deeds on the grid
iron thrilled middle-western fans
for three years.
Bronco was only an awkward
high school lad from International
Falls, Minn., when he first turned
out for football under Doc Spears.
He had not even been an excep
tional player in high school, but
under Doc Spears’ expert guidance
he developed not only into a great
fullback but also was an All
American tackle. Bronco’s first
varsity year at the University of
Minnesota was 1927. That was
the season Doc Spears’ team tied
Notre Dame, 7 to 7. Bronco played
tackle throughout that historic en
counter, and his dynamic perform
ance brought praise from even the
late Knute Rockne, at that time
enjoying one of his greatest sea
sons at the head of the Fighting
Irish.
The next two years, 3928 and
’29, Bronco alternated his time
between the line and the back
field. He so distinguished him
self at both stations that numer
ous experts disagreed as to which
post he was better suited. He
was given All-American honors
at both positions. As a line
smasher, Bronco Nagurski had
few equals. Tireless and power
ful, he rolled into the front wall
like a compound locomotive. It
was nothing out of the ordinary
for him to buck as many as 100
yards in one game. When he
was playing for the East in the
annual East-West Shrine game
in San Francisco two years ago,
he battered the western wall for
a grand total of 188 yards. Thut’s
pile-driving in any league.

Bronco was not the only great
backfield performer developed by
Doc Spears. There have been many
others. Doc has turned out more

(Continued from Page One)
The Huskies must win to stay ir
the running for the championship
| Because they are only one-half f
j game ahead of Oregon State, a
slipup against Idaho would shove
j the Orangemen into second place
Oregon State is idle this week-end
so can do nothing about improv
ing or lowering its conference
status.
Washington’s chances were ham
pered slightly yesterday when
Kline Swygaard, veteran forward,
was forced to turn in his suit be
cause of bad health. His loss
leaves a gap that will be hard for
Coach Hec Edmundson to fill.
; Idaho gave both Washington
| State and Oregon State close bat
! ties, and twice won from Oregon,
so the Vandals should be no easy
pickings for the Huskies.
There will be no southern divi
sion games tonight, but all four
clubs play tomorrow night. The
league-leading Trojans of South
ern California will face U. C. L. A.
at Los Angeles, and Stanford and
California will clash on neutral
territory at Oakland. What hap
pens between the Trojans and
Bruins eventually may decide the
championship of the southern divi
sion. To date U. S. C. has lost
only two games. One was to the
second-place California Bears and
the other was to U. C. L. A. The
latter misfortune took place when
the Trojans fizzled away a three
point lead by stalling and lost, 18
to 17.
Jerry Nemer is the man the
Bruins will have to watch tonight.

| L. A.’s ball-hawking floor leader,
j California is a heavy favorite to
j defeat Stanford. The Cardinals
have not won a game for three
weeks. Then, too, they have been
weakened by injuries. Frenchy La
Combe, high-scoring forward, was
hurt several days ago, and Phil
Moffatt, celebrated football half
back, has been bothered repeated
ly by injuries sustained on the
gridiron last fall.
The season is nearing an end in
the south. Each team has only
three games left to play.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHING
TON, Seattle, Feb. 12.—(Special).
—Announcement was made today
that Kline Swygaard would play
no more basketball for the Wash
ington Huskies this season. He
was forced to turn in his suit on
the advice of H. J. Green, team
physician.
i than his share of All-American
j tiall-toters. There was Herb Joest
i ing at Minnesota, whom many con
1 sider to have been the equal of
; the mighty Nagurski. Others were
: Fred Hovde, the brainy quarter
j back, and Harold Almquist, bril
liant halfback. At West Virginia
there was Pete Barnurn, and at
Dartmouth Doc Spears developed
two of the greatest backs of New
England football history — Jim
Robertson and John Shellbourne.
Robertson and Shellbourne were
powerful, elusive runners. Both
were about the size of Bobby Gray
son, the young Jefferson high
school lad whose performances in
the Portland interscholastic league'
were so sensational last autumn.
At Oregon Doc’s foremost
achievement was the making of
Johnny Kitzmiller into a halfback
j cf All-American caliber. There are
other lads coming up who may,
join these select ranks in the fu
ture.
This is the night those ferocious
Washington State Cougars meet
the Webfoots at McArthur court.
You’ll get a chance to see one of
the greatest basketball teams in
the country in action when the
Cougars take the floor. The invad
ers boast two exceptional scoring
threats., in ..Huntly ..Gordon and
Claud Holsten and a pair of clever
courtmen and ball-hawks in Bobby
Cross and Art McLarney.
Most of the Cougar basketeers
play baseball in the spring, but
none of them are football players.
Remember a few years ago how
many of Babe Hollingberry’s grid
iron standbys were members of
the basketball squad ? Three reg
ular backfield men—Don McDon
ald, Teddy Rohwer and little Arch
ie Buckley—were on the varsity
basketball quintet.

Prince Gary Callison, coach of Oregon’s freshman basketballcrs,
who takes his team south to Medford, where he was high school
coach for so many successful seasons. The Yearlings will meet the
Medford high Friday and Saturday nights.
Ducklings Leave for South
To Play Medford Hoopsters
Callison Takes Ten Men for
Ttvo-Game Series With
Tiger Fi ve
By MALCOLM BAUER
Ten strong, the frosh hoopsters
leave for the south this morning
where they will tangle in two
games over the week-end with
the Strong Medford high school
aggregation. “Prink” Callison,
freshman mentor, who before com
ing to Eugene coached the Med
ford team, has high hopes of re
turning with two wihs at the ex
pense of his former proteges.
The yearlings have been show
ing marked improvement in the
last few practice sessions, and with
Sylvan Campf back in the start
ing line-up, they should work
wonders. Campf injured his
shoulder in the first rook game,
but has been in uniform for the
past week. He should see plenty of
actions against Medfonlites.
In the other forward position,
Callison will probably use Ralph
Terjeson, who has been played
both as a forward and as a guard
so far this season.
The guard berths will undoubt
edly be filled by Bill Berg and
Roland Rourke. Rourke has been
playing regularly all season anu .3
the ranking Duckling sharpshoot
er. Berg started his first game
against the rooks here last Fri
day, and his performances since
then have been so outstanding that
he has earned a permanent place
on the starting five.
Miller Improves
Bob Miller will start at center.
The big fellow has shown a lot of
improvement lately, and seems to
be coming out of his scoring slump.
At the first of the season he was
dropping them in from all angles,
and always is a dangerous man
under the basket.
Chuck Clay, who has been filling
in for Campf at forward, Wilson
Siegmund, J. B. McClain, Bud
Thomas, and Arne Lindgren make
up the squad of reserves who will
make the trip.
Following these games only one
week remains before the frosh
tangle with the O. S. C. rooks in
the final games of the season for
the ancient rivals.
University of Heidelberg scien
tists have been studying a man
with gill slits in his neck, together
with a rudimentary gill, believed
to be a “throwback” from the evo
lutionary long ago.
