Nobody’s Business By BRUCE HAMBY ONE triple-threat ball carrier in a backfield is quite com mon. Two lads who can pass, the ball in the backfield is not unusual. Even three is permis sable. But four .... that’s some thing! I That’s just the situation on the U. C. L. A. ele ven. Four hon Howard Bobbittest‘t0 ' Sadness triple - threaters in the flesh. Where Bill Spauld ing got them, no one knows. They are: from left to right: “Jumping Joe” Keeble, the fullback; Walt Clark, sophomore right halfback; Robby Decker, Clark’s running mate; and Mike Frankovitch, quarterback and Bill Bowerman's rival in love. All these young lads have the reputation of being able to crash the line and circle ends with more than ordinary ability. All four can punt for an average of 40 yards. And their strong point .... all four .... is pass ing. Messrs. Hughes, Morgan, Nils son, Bailey, W i s h a r d, Frye, Clark, and Bobbitt are going to have a busy afternoon today when these boys start handling the ball. * * * Members of Oregon’s varsity squad have something to look forward to at the end of the regu lar season besides final exams. How would you like to take a 2,500-mile jaunt way down South to Louisiana? That’s just like getting strawberry shortcake for dessert after a dinner of baked beans and weinies. Hugh Rosson must have felt the boys from Eugene were entitled to a nice train ride as a reward for their efforts, both to date and in udvance. Just why he picked Louisiana State university is a mystery. Maybe he blindfolded himself and stuck a pin in a map. * * * Remember Oregon's intersec tional game with Florida a few years back? That was the time when Bobby Robinson and Chuck Williams, colored aces, had to be left home because of race prejudice in the South. They had plenty of company, though, with Austin Colbert left here because of grades, Bun Stadleman and Johnny Kitzmil ler on crutches with broken ankles, and a few other mem bers of the varsity off the squad for minor reasons. * * * The weather was so hot in Flor ida the day of the game the boys played minus jerseys; in other words, with only shoulder pads to protect their bodys from injury. And to add insult to injury, the Florida rooters had decorated the stands with Orange and Black bunting in honor of the visitors. * * * Maybe it will snow this year. Just mentioned this to add to the anticipation of the team. The lucky rats! Lewis Urges Students To Use Lost and Found Students are failing to make use of the University lost and found department, according to Donald Lewis, superintendent of grounds and buildings. Many students have inquired for lost articles, but very few have come in up to the pres ent time. Whether the students finding lost articles are neglecting to turn j them in or whether they are fail- | ing to find them is unknown. Mr. Lewis suggests strongly | that more use be made of the lost and found department by students ! finding lost articles.

' "TREE-TOP” The Syncopated Bootblack Rally At 1 o’Clock Today Everyone Invited Next to Colonial Theatre Washington State-California Game Headliner In South "Bill” Ingrain Picks Bears To WinToday California Coach Follows ‘New Psychology’ I - i Southern Team Lacks Reserve Strength in Game With W. S. C. By KENNETH PRIESTLEY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFOR NIA, Berkeley, Oct. 14 (Special) "Bill” Ingram picks California to defeat Washington State’s for midable football team here Sat urday afternoon at Memorial sta dium. And thereby hangs a tale. Not so long ago the favorite pastime of football coaches was to pick opposing teams to win, think ing thereby to sneak up and knock said opponents over with a sicken ing thud. But no more. The "new psychol ogy” is to pick your own team to win. First “Clipper” Smith selected his Santa Clara team to turn back California. And they did. “Slip” Slips Then “Slip” Madigan predicted some of the same for the Gallop ing Gaels. “Slip” slipped a little on that one, but at least a tie score left him with still somewhat of a reputation as a prophet. Through all this Ingram, the silent sailor, sat back and said little or nothing except possibly, to agree with "Clipper” and “Slip.” But now comes “Babe” Holling berry ,to add his word that Wash ington State will defeat California. Ingram, tired of agreeing with everybody, is inclined to be argu mentative on that point, and comes out roundly with the state ment that California, not Wash ington State, will win. Teams Complete Drills This refreshing note in the week’s news of Bear-Cougar hos tilities was struck today as the Golden Bears had virtually com pleted their pre-game prepara tions. Tngram bases his optimis tic attitude on the showing made by California in the 12-to-12 tie with St. Mary's, the fact that all through the season he and the Bear squad have been looking forward to the W. S. C. game as the first for which they would make thorough-going and specific preparations, plus the fact that the Bears have looked well during the past week of light but exact ing work on offense and defense for the Cougar game. The only possible fly in the Gol den Bears’ ointment is lack of adequate, trained, ready-to-play reserve strength. The Bears are well-equipped with material, but minor injuries have retarded the development of the squad as a whole, although a number of in dividuals, including the entire first string, have made rapid strides during the past 10 days or two weeks. Ingram is satisfied that his first team is his strong est combination, but he is doubt ful about many of the players available for replacements. ORIGIN OF TERM. PIGGER. FOUND TO BE LOWLY ONE (Continued from Pape One) satisfaction of an interest in the culture of swine. At last the dreadful truth be came known. They found that the student was making these visits not in the interests of livestock, but because the farm harbored a lady light o' love, in whom he was greatly interested. And so whenever the student left on his venture to College Crest, his hallmates would remark that he was out seeing the pigs again. Finally this term was applied to any student who consistently sought the attentions of a co-ed. The phrase was shortened and adapted to cover a phase of col lege life about which Webster seems slightly inadequate. Little did the student realize that in his trips to the farm he was founding an Oregon institu tion which 30 years later would be the incentive for two thousand males with durable lungs to rise from their seats at a football game and make the welkin ring with a mighty roar of "Pigger-r-r-r” when a student was discovered sitting with a co-ed. Hr. anti Mrs. Cloran Returned From Europe After a year spent in touring the United States and Europe, Dr. and Mrs. Timothy Cloran have re turn*^ to the University., Dr. Clo ran is professor of Romance lan guages. Dr. Cloran told the .in terviewers upon his return that he was greatly impressed with Italy under the dictatorship of Mussolini. He last visited Italy in 1898. Paris, he said, appeared to be the most prosperous. He pre viously visited Paris in 1898, 190-i, 1905, 1906. They Start Their Stuff Today And they’re plenty neat ball carriers, too.

They believe, as is expressed in Wall's statement, that the first year men and women are natural ly eager to win their first election and lose sight of the lack of pro priety of some methods. The opinion is held that politi cal leaders of the various groups should take full responsibility and not only urge their constituents to 1 activity but also to coach them in campaign methods that have re j ceived campus disapproval. The charges of corrupt practices I were presented in a letter pub , lished in the Safety Valve column Wednesday. The communication was submitted by Herb King. In it he proposed that the elec tions be held in some room where the voter could have privacy while marking his ballot. The election in question was held in the lobby of Johnson hall. Student body officials replied that class elections had always been held in the corridor of either Johnson or Villard hall and that in the last two years has there been any particular protest. The objections last year were directed more at the activity on the streets and around the polls rather thau at that right at them. Professors Tour Alaska Pr. Warren P.

Donut Dope By BEN BACK Monday’s Intramural Schedule S. P. E. vs. Yeomen at 4:00 o’clock. Sigma Pi Tau vs. Fijis, 4:45 o’clock. Donut athletes will take a short rest until Monday at which time j they will again swing into action. I So far, the S. P. E., Yeomen, Chi Psi, Phi Psi, Fiji, and the Sigma , Pi Tau outfits are still in the run ning and each one is a contender. ! Monday’s list of events include two meets between the Yeomen and the S. P. E. teams at 4:00 o’clock and at 4:45 the Sigma Pi Tau team will battle it out with the Fijis for the privilege of en I tering into the semi-final bracket. At present the Phi Psi and the | Chi Psi teams are in the semi-fin als due to their wins in the Thurs i day meets. Who the opponents ! to these two teams are to be will be decided on Monday. * * * During this last week the out standing star was the Fiji, Tom Blankenberg, who cracked two all time intramural records in one meet. This Blankenberg, by the way, holds quite a few records in the breast-stroke. Blankenberg was disqualified from the Olympic team because he had previously been a life guard and no athlete receiving a remuneration in any sport in the games was barred from competition. * * * Reissmuller, of Chi Psi, was also an exceptional swimmer. He proved this when he beat Ned Simpson three times in succession. I Reissmuller, in his racing dives. I goes in a trifle crooked, probably to aid him in gaining momentum under water. » * * The Sigma Pi Tau’s two big point winners are Hegdahl and Schenk. Hegdahl. the better of the two, won two first places and also i was on the winning relay team. The Yeomen have no outstand ing star but have very well-bal anced group of swimmers who can take good care of themselves in any meet. Prominent among the stars of the meets was Warmington, of j Phi Kappa Psi. » * * The finals of the swimming ; meet will take place on Thursday ! at 4:00 o’clock. However, during this week all-campus events in tennis, golf, horseshoes, and hand I ball will also begin and boys entered in these events are sche duled to start competition.
