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 !

"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

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

KNOWLEDGE OF ‘BUTTON

men to get out and campaign but
do not tell them what is consid
ered ethical in campus politics.
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.

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

entered in these events are sche
duled to start competition.
