By BRUCE HAMBY T.T’S UNFORTUNATE that the *- Oregon-U. C. L. A. game in Portland this Saturday comes so soon after the Webfoot - Husky encounter. There’s no doubt that next Satur day’s game will be even more ex citing than the Washington bat tle. The Bruins from the West wood Hills are Butch Morse laying for Ore gon and dont' make any mistake about it. For four years, since : their entrance into the Pacific't Coast conference, the Bruins have ; pointed for the Webfoots. Bat each year they have been handi capped by the lack of good re serves and have been forced to rely mainly upon defensive foot ball. This year, according to reliable information from the South, Bill Spaulding has a group of great j ball-carriers. Even with Len Bergdahl, star quarterback, out! with a chipped elbow bone, Bruin fans are confident that Walt \ Clark, Joe Keeble, “Pants” Lives ly, and Robby Decker can punch holes in the Oregon line. * * * ■ According to Jack O’Brien, Ore-1 gon’s head scout, Bergdahl is one gent Oregon v/ill have to watch if he gets into the lineup next Sat urday. Last year when Oregon met the Bruins in Los Angeles i Len was on the sidelines with a J similar injury to the one now | bothering him. He cracked his1 elbow bone early in practice this i year and has not played in a ma jor game. He almost single-hand ed defeated St. Mary’s last year when the Bruins upset them 12 to 0. That was after the Gaels had knocked over Southern Cali fornia. He is a triple-threat, back, but his passing ability is his chief weapon. * * * Oregon vs. Louisiana at New Orleans on December 10. No, this is not a fact, but according to rumor, the game has been tenta tively scheduled. Closing of ar rangements depend upon Oregon’s showing in the next few games, according to those who claim to | know. If such a game is added | to the varsity list it will only add ' to the toughest schedule an Ore- 11 gon football team has ever faced. ' Following next Saturday’s game, j' the Webfoots must play Idaho, Gonzaga, Oregon State, U. S. C. and St. Mary's. * »i« * Butch Morse, Portland's only contribution to the varsity squad, may be playing in Mikulak's posi- ! tion next Saturday. Last night ' Prink Callison moved him into the line-backing berth as a replace-: ■ ment for Howard Bobbitt, slated to start In place of Mikulak. A i few more changes and Butch will have expereince at all positions, j He started as a guard in Benson ( Tech, was moved to end as a freshman last year and now breaks into the backfield. He claims he doesn't like his new job, [ however. N. B. C.

A., being nosed out by Lauri Lehtinen, Finland, in the feature race of the games, the 5,000-metre run. Track ex perts claim Hill ,a University of Oregon graduate, was fouled by the Finnish star in the home stretch. Hill's modest demeanor won for him the plaudits of the crowd. Mi kulak Hopeful, Miller Has Doubt Mike Mikulak, Oregon’s roaring fullback, hasn't given lip all hopes of getting into the game with U. C. L. A, .Saturday in spite of hav ing a badly wrenched knee. The plaster cast was removed yesterday, and heat lamp treat ments are being administered in the hope of getting the strained muscles baked into shape. Mike thinks that once he is allowed to leave his bed in the infirmary and walk upon the injured member, it will get back into condition soon enough for him to take a hand in the struggle. Dr. Fred N. Miller, head of the University health ser vice, entertains no such hopes.

That is to say (quote Flute's Salute Morrlssette still further). “Find an item that you can no longer tolerate at home, but which may (possibly) fit in at the club. Suggestions: ash trays and ash trays, Victorian doflops, com mon nieknacks, furniture, books, bottles, husbands, etc.’’ This will be all right. We col legians will be sorry to miss this spectacle I mean to say. white elephants, the dean's toupee, that comely and hilarious amusement. It goes to show that the old order doth not changeth. Saturday night our own godly go human. It is blessed to give and always will be. but it is more blessed to j use intelligence in reducing the necessity of giving. — Charles A. I Beard. 1 Donut Dope By BEN BACK In last night’s meet the Fiji team showed some real class in breaking two all-time records in the 00-yard individual medley and in the 120-yard relay. The Fijis have a real star in this boy Tom Blankenberg. Blan kenberg was No. 1 man on the Pacific Northwest Olympic try-out team and has done the breast stroke in just a second over the national amateur record. When Simpson of the Beta out fit and Blankenberg get together, if they do, this school should see a thrilling breast-stroke contest. These swimming meets in which donut, enthusiasts take part some times have a tendency to become highly competitive, especially when the swimmers have a big audience of friends or foes. This past week saw a good group of mermen compete for their re spective living organizations with not one swimmer being of medio cre ability. Much of the success of giving the meets a good start this week depended on Coach Mike Hoyman, who ran each meet within the scheduled time limits. * * * Ned Simpson, Beta ace, gave the best individual performance of the lot, annexing two first places in individual competition and prac tically winning the relay by him self. Simpson is a real threat in any race. * * * The S. A. E. team at the present writing holds the team scoring record with a total of 39 points against Alpha Upsilon, who was only able to score three markers. S. A. E. has a well-balanced ag gregation and should prove to be especially dangerous in coming meets. * * * The lists of all-campus events of handball, golf, tennis, and horseshoes close Friday. The events are scheduled to start this coming Monday. Information con cerning participants in the events has been posted on the bulletin board in the men’s gym. On to Portland For Oregon-!1. C. L. A.

The new records are the CO-yard individual medley and the 120-yard medley. The first meet on last night’s program was a literal walk-away for Chi Psi, who convincingly spanked the boys from Sigma Chi to the tune of 37 to 5. Reissmuller was the Chi Psi star as he won the 60-yard individual medley in a thrilling race. Other Chi Psi stars were Case, Travis, and Morden. Palmer was a point win ner for Sigma Chi. The boys from Sigma Pi Tau proved conclusively that they could win meets without gaining them through the forfeit route when they defeated Delta Tau Delta 37 to 5 in the second meet on yesterday’s schedule. This victory is the second for the- S. P. T.’s. They gained their last tri umph by forfeit from Omega hall. Hegdahl was the big shot on the S. P. T. team by winning a first place in the 40-yard free style, a first in the 60-yard individual medley, and a second in the 40 yard back-stroke. The third meet was by far the most exciting because Kappa Sig made such a fight of what ap peared to be a sure rout.

As a result, all men interested in playiijg for the organization are asked to report on the maple court in the men’s gym at 11 o’clock Sat urday, states Ed “Smiling" Good nough, sports manager. Prospects of a repetition of last year's champion performance is dimmer due to the loss of the stel- j lar Ingram Kjosness but Del Thom, j Bob “Happy" Chatterton, Walt1 Wicks, and Sam Watson, four of last year's veterans, are on hand to repeat, if possible. Keeble Star Back Of Bruin Machine LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 10.— According to tabulation of yard age gained by U. C. L. A. ball carriers in two opening games on the schedule, “Jolting Joe” Keeble, star junior fullback, has advanced the ball 64 yards further than all Westwood backs combined, and places second in average gain per try. In 61 attempts he totaled 252 yards, carried the ball 17 times for an average of 4.05 yards, while Walter Clark, left halfback, leads with 4.5 yards gained on each of ten trips with the ball. The tabulation shows that the Bruins gained 415 yards against the combined total of 176 yards for their opponents. and the swimmers put on a real show for their benefit. • Tom Blankenberg proved his ability by shattering the all-time intramural record in the 60-yard individual medley. The Fiji relay team with Blankenberg as anchor man also established a new mark in the 120-yard medley. Frosh Squad Looks Better In Practice Ducklings Are Drilled Under Lights Indians To Arrive Tomorrow for Football Battle With Yearlings By NED SIMPSON Under the lights of Hayward field The freshman gridsters stood, And midst the glare and rain, by gosh, They looked exceedingly good. This ditty explains the reactions of the few spectators who viewed the frosh workout last night on Hayward field. With, only one more day of practice before their game with the Chemawa Indians, the yearlings showed so much im provement in their playing that the aforementioned spectators be came very cheerful over the pros pects for Friday night's game. Yesterday afternoon, instead of having practice at the usual time, Coach Schulz gave the baby Web foots some concentrated skull practice, and announced that reg ular practice would take place un der the floodlights. Many of the men had never played under arti ficial lighting before, making this deviation from the usual schedule almost compulsory. No Lineup Announced No lineup has been announced, but it is probable that the combin ation that has been working to gether the past few nights will start the game. In this group are Torrence and Wright, ends; Niel son and Bennison, tackles; Lundin and Hawn at the guards, with the center position still undecided. In the backfield the lineup will prob ably find McCredie at quarter, Leemans and Arey at the halves, and Milligan at full. The Indian team is expected to No More Blocked Kicks Is Battle Cry of Cougars WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Oct. 12—“There'll 1 be no more blocked punts!-’ That from Babe Hollingbery and it has a real meaning. Four ruined kicks I spoiled Washington State’s game against Southern California last week and were directly responsi ble for two of the three Trojan j touchdowns. Four years ago a similar disas ter occurred in the University of j California game. The Golden Bears ' smeared five of the Cougar punts j as they won 13 to 3. Not another I kick was blocked on Washington State that year and but a very few since that time until last week. Coach Hollingbery is doing some revision in his backfield with a view of getting greater power than the Cougars showed against U. S. C., when they counted more first downs than the mighty Tro jans. San Colburn, 20C-pound fullback I last year, has been moved to a halfback position. W’ith George Theodoratos, 240-pound Greek, at fullback and Colburn at halfback, the Cougars will present the power threat of a steam roller. Phil Sar boe, classy quarterback has thrown his crutches away and will play against California next Saturday at Berkeley. arrive in Eugene early tomorrow afternoon. They are a fast but light aggregation that should pro vide plenty of competition for the first year men. Infirmary Has Nine The University infirmary is run ning with a near capacity load for the first time this year. Those confined at the present time are Harriet Smith, Lottie Black, Bet ty Williams, Betty Butler, Doro thy MacMillan, Frederick Shafer, Chester Pritchard, Clarence Nich olas, and Mike Mikulak.
