At Polls Today

(i.O.P. Backers Hope for Another
Upset Like That of 1916;
Oregon Bullions State
The voters of the United States
j of America go to the polls today
' to elect a chief executive for the
next four years. Their choice is
expected to be Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, Democratic nominee,
and a fifth cousin of Republican
President Theodore Roosevelt, far
famed as lieutenant-colonel of the
Rough Rider troop in the Spanish
American war. Roosevelt’s run
ning mate is John Nance Garner,
speaker of the house of represent
atives, and for three decades a
congressman from Texas.
Opposing Roosevelt will be the
present incumbent of the presi
dency, Herbert Clark Hoover, Re
publican. Running with him, as
he did four years ago, will be
Charles Curtis, vice-president of
the United States. In 1928 the
familiar Hoover-Curtis ticket was
a one-sided victor over a Demo
cratic combination of Alfred E.
Smith and Joseph Robinson.
Looks Like Roosevelt
Straw ballots conducted by the
Literary Digest and the Hearst
newspapers, the latter solidly be
f hind Roosevelt, have given a de
cisive margin to the Democratic
nominee. Lesser polls, especially
those taken among special groups
such as college students and pro
fessional people, favor the presi
dent.
The main hope held out by Re
publican newspapers and partisans
is that the trend of the public
opnion will be similar to that in
1916. In that year Charles Evans
Hughes, distinguished Republican,
was a universal favorite. He went
down to a narrow defeat before
Woodrow Wilson. G. O. P. sup
porters pray that this November's !
situation will be analogous to that j
of 16 years ago, when the betting j
favored Mr. Hughes by laughable |
odds. Last night the current
odds were 5 to 1 on Roosevelt.
G. O. P. Still Hopeful
Oregon is considered a doubtful
state, although the generally sa
gacious predicters believe the
commonwealth will go Democrat
ic, its naturally Republican in
, clinations notwithstanding. The
state’s two principal newspapers,
the Republican Morning Oregon
ian and the Democratic Oregon
Journal, have conducted the bulk
of the verbal campaigning.
Both Eugene newspapers, the
Register-Guard and the Morning
News, favor Hoover. If Univer
sity students vote in reality today
as they did in the Emerald’s
straw poll several weeks ago, they
will cast the bulk of their ballots
for the president. Hoover received
GO per cent of the campus votes,
against only 27 per cent for
Roosevelt.
T.R. JP as the Pohtican of the Roosevelt Family When This Happened
... The ®,bove >Md ®nd colorful football panorama shows the dashing University of Oregon gridiron eleven of 1894 marching through
Albany college, 44 to 2. Prink Callison, Herr Mikulak, Senor Morgan, Monsieur Morse and the other Webfoots weren’t even born when
this happened. The date of the stirring encounter was March 24. The lads got mixed up and played baseball in the autumn and foot
ball m the sprmg. The field is located where Commerce and Oregon halls and the Y. M. C. A. now stand. In the background to
the left is vallard hall. Note the many small trees that today are giant firs. These were planted through the endeavor of the late
Oean John Straub. Although the crowd was considered large at that time, even double its number at a present-day game undoubt
edly would give Hugh Rosson nervous prostration. Cal Young, pioneer of Lane county, was coach of the Oregon lads when they per
formed in such dashing style as above.

Campus Is Unusually Quiet
Preceding Decisive Election
Dy JULIAN PRESCOTT
It was the day before election
^ and all over the campus men and
women were talking-—no, not
about the election, but about the
everyday things of university life,
classes, ball games, bridge, dances.
That doesn't stand absolutely
unqualified. A few were discussing
the possibilities of Hoover and
Roosevelt in the presidential race.
A slightly larger number was still
perturbed somewhat about the
Zorn - Macpherson consolidation
bill. But as far as congressional,
state, county and local candidates
and the 12 other measures on the
ballot were concerned, the student
voters were, as a whole, silent. In
terest in the whole election seemed
to have waned.
Downtown it was a different
story. Business men were bustling
around. But their activity was
confined largely to what the vot
ers are going to do as to one bill
entitled: “Bill moving university,
normal and law schools, establish
ing junior colleges.” A few were
still talking about state and local
elections.
Most of the voters who had read
over sample ballots were in some
what of a daze. Five possibilities
for president. Six for United
States senator. Five for represen
tative in congress. Nine for state
legislators. All in all just 60 i
names on the ballot. And then 13 j
decisions to make as to measures
referred or initiated.
Prognosticators were tending to
favor Roosevelt, but some conced
ed that Hoover had been gaining
considerably in some sections.
Betting odds were strongly in fa
vor of Roosevelt. I
Predictions as to the outcome of
the consolidation contest were
much more definite. Campus lead
ers were strong in their prediction
of defeat of the measure—that is
a victory for the University.
The prospects of a holiday Wed
nesday should the measure fail,

Line-Play and Teamwork
Bring Back Beaver Bacon
By DAVE WILSON
How about the individual cogs
in the great Lemon-Yellow grid
machine that pushed over Satur
day’s victory? It is only natural
that the spectators should give
most of their attention and the
newspapers most of their space to
the flashy backs that tote the ball,
get off the long punts and throw
the fast passes. But what are the
linesmen, the blocking backs, the
interferers doing when the crowd
roars approval of a brilliant run
or a flashy play?
Temple’s brilliant run would
have stopped far short of the end
zone if Captain Bill Morgan had
not been ahead to block out the
Oregon State safety on the ten
yard line. Oregop would not have
been in position for that first
touchdown if Butch Morse, who
turned in a fine performance at
left end, had not fallen on Bian
cone’s fake-fumble before it
could roll out of bounds on the
O. S. C.’s 33-yard line.
Right-end Chuck Wishard, aided
and abetted Bill Bowerman, wing
back for that side of the line, ]
made the going mighty tough
whenever O. S. C. tried an end
run or off-tackle play in their di
rection. Stan Kostka didn’t carry
the hall much, but without his
blocking and heady performance
mighty Mike Mlkulak's line
smashes wouldn’t have gone as far
as they did.
* * *
Don’t let Temple’s winning run
blind you to the fact that his punt
ing saved the day for Oregon. O.
S. C. counted on Keith Davis to
boot a wet ball five to ten yards
farther than Temple, but when
the average yardage was figured
up, Davis was only two feet to
the good, or an average of 33
yards to 32.4 yards for Temple’s
kicks. And with Davis booting
them out of bounds on Oregon’s
five and ten yard lines every so
often, the wonder is that Temple
got air except one of those "be
hind-his-own-goal” kicks back to
mid-field.
* * *
Give Morgan, Frye and Hughes
their share of the credit for that
first touchdown. After Biancone’s

Rumors Not Verified by

Mentor in Question Came West
With Doe S|>eirs in Spring
Of First Seuson
By BRUCE HAMBY
Rumors that John J. (Jack)
O’Brien, assistant varsity football
coach, and the associated students
had severed connections were
common gossip on the campus
yesterday. The rumors could not
be verified, although members of
the football squad and campus
news correspondents were sure of
the truth of the reports.
Neither Ronald H. Robnett, as
sistant graduate manager, nor
Prink Callison, head football
coach, had anything to say on the
matter. Hugh Rosson, graduate
manager, is en route to Los An
geles to arrange details of the
Oregon-U. S. C. game, and could
not be reached.
No Meeting To Date
O’Brien has not been seen on
the Oregon campus for several
days. To date he has not con
ferred with A. S. U. O. officials
and no official discharge or resig
nation has been released by the
graduate manager’s office.
A final announcement on the
authenticity of the rumors should
be forthcoming within a few days.

The Webfoot coach came west
With Dr. C. W. Spears in 1930.
Under Spears he acted as assist

Callison was appointed to succeed
Spears, O’Brien was retained in
the same capacity, although most
of his time was spent scouting
Oregon opponents. He was also
expected to 'tutor the freshman
baseball and basketball candidates
this year.

Difficult Interview Reveals
Facts About Wally Campbell
By ANN REED BURNS
It was hard to get a sensible,
serious - minded interview with
Wally (Wallace J.) Campbell, be
cause the conversation seemed to
keep going off on tangents such
as the number of feet ruined at
open house or the merits of the
presidential candidates. But fi
nally the most essential facts were
gleaned.
Wallace J. Campbell, who is one
of the four Rhodes scholarship
candidates from the University of
Oregon, finished his fourth year
last June. He was selected as a
Rhodes scholarship candidate last
year also, but was defeated. At
present he holds a graduate as
sistantship in sociology, while
taking ten hours of graduate
work.
While attending the University
he wa3 very active in the public
speaking world, debating for three
years on the varsity, and al30
participating in after-dinner and
extemporaneous speeches. Last
year he, together with Rolla
Reedy and Hobart Wilson, toured
3000 miles through California and
Arizona, debating economic ques
tions at ten colleges. He was
also a representative to the Pa
cific Forensic League conference.
At the time of his graduation he
received $100 in the Failing-Beek
man prize for senior oratory. He
was a member of Delta Sigma
Rho, debating honorary, as well
as the sociology honorary, Alpha
Kappa Delta.
Scarcely had this information
been obtained when the conversa
tion began going off ends again—
this time concerning his summers
during the four years of college.
It seems that the summer after
his freshman year, he drove a six
horse team in Saskatchewan,
Canada. (He has lived a great
part of his life in Canada, al
though he was born in Montana
and attended high school in Eu
gene.) The next summer he in
