On the. Sidelines M: — (AP) — -By BRIAN BELL | OS ANGELES, Nov. 8. (AP). —Just a couple of common names Smith and Brown but a most uncommon pair of tackles are these two, if you ask Howard Harding Jones, grid coach at the University of Southern California. "In all my career,” said Jones a few days ago, "I’ve never hud a better pair of tackles than Ernie Smith and Captain Tay Brown.” . # * * All of which is a strong re mark from a coach who must have had some very good tackles to have piled up an impressive record since he left Yale to coach Syracuse, Ohio State, Iowa, Duke and Southern Cali fornia. Jones always has considered Duke Slater as perhaps his best tackle, but he goes so far as to comment in this wise: "I won't say that Duke was any better than either of them.” Brown started out by blocking four punts in one afternoon against Washington State. Smith came back for his bid by playing an impressive game the week fol lowing against Oregon State. Of the two, Smith is the more colorful. He is “Snowshoe Ernie" to the team, but "Trombone Pete” to the Trojan band, from which he graduated into a football star. t- # * There has been a tradition at .Southern California that the tnen of Troy have been notori ously strong on touchdowns, but weak on points after scoring. Smith has changed all this. His fellow players explain the change in simple language. “With such large feet (size 14) how can he miss?” Smith was quite a player at Gardena, Calif., high school. He admits he kicked a few goals for the hometown team. In fact, he says he got eight for eight in one game. V V * As a freshman, however, he turned his back on the game, with tuneful notes from his "slip-horn” to cheer the varsity along. Came his sophomore year, however, anil he cheeked in the white flannel uniform for the moleskins, but he didn’t put the trombone in the moth balls. Ilis horn is his bread winner. Ernie has encountered difficul ties, however. He finds it rather" hard, for instance, to keep up a snappy cadence in the dance or chestra, of which he is a member, after • a hard afternoon on the gridiron. * * * But the problem doesn't stop with mere fatigue. Take, for in stance, the day an opponent was so unkind as to step right square on Ernie's upturned face. "I tooted the thing from the corner of my mouth that night," Smith explained. Mjtt-Slingers Set To Vie in Tourney An announcement to the effect that entries fo rthe intramural boxing tournament should sign up in the men’s gym was released by the intramural board last night. The intramural boxing season starts this year on December 6. Entries must pass a high physical rating in order to take part in this sport. Football Ulysses To Set Out for Gates of Troy Today I Oregon Team ! Vote Minded On Eve Of Tilt _ ! II. Hoover Is Choice for President 1 “Kitz” for Constable Is Cry as Ducks Prepare for Their Seige of Troy r.y NED SIMPSON All aboard for Los Angeles and the lair of the Trojan Wild Horse! Tonight, in a special car attached to the crack Cas cade Limited, the Webfoot travel ing squad leaves for the sunny South. They are scheduled to ar rive in L03 An geles early Fri day morning, with the victory over the com bined forces ot Red Bailey Mr- Hector Ma° pherson and Mr. Henry Zorn spurring them to clas sic heights, they are expected to give the mighty Trojan one or two solid hours of hard football. Members of the Emerald sports staff conducted a little private in i vestigation yesterday afternoon, and when they had worn their fin gers or was it their feet?—to the bone, it was found that Hr. Hoo ver was more in favor of the he roes of the gridiron than either of his two greatest rivals Roosevelt and Thomas. However, Thomas was much more popular in the rub bing and stock rooms. Bob Officer, genial bandaging expert, was vo ciferous in his support of Thomas. The volume of noise in this dem onstration for the Socialist candi date was considerably swelled by the leathern lungs of “Tank" Mc Callum, dictator in charge of the clean socks and jersies. The varsity men who seem to like beer better than their fellow warriors number amongst their group such men as Mike Mikulak of “dunking in the catsup" fame. Capt. Bill Morgan also fa vors the return of “real, honest to gosh brew like they make down in Medford." On the other hand we find Bill Bowerman, the brains of the team, voting for Mr. Hoo ver, rilso for John Kitzmiller, as candidate for constable. Others who shared Bill's choice in candi dates were “Butch” Morse (who claims he’s 21), Stan Kostka who isn’t old enough to%ote yet, Bernie Hughes, “Zeke” Bishop, the batter ing behemoth, and “Red” Bailey. Bailey, the “Phi Bete" of the squad says that Hoover is the only man, for his record to date is and so on, far, far into the night. The coaching staff refused to comment on their choice, but it is almost certain that they were unanimous in their choice of Kitz miller for constable. The boys are all pepped up for the assault on the Walls of Troy, and with any amount of luck where the breaks are concerned, they have a fine chance of top pling the Trojans from the coast conference throne. The game is to be played in the Olympic sta dium, which has a turf field, and for that reason Callison has been holding practice this week on the new grass just east of the Igloo. Twenty-eight men will make the trip south. y\ list already has been sent to the stock room, but Coach Callison would not permit its re lease to the newspapers. The rea son given was that he is not abso lutely certain as to whom he will take on the journey. '-9 P.

These nine leaders are Colgate Columbia, and Pittsburgh in the East; Tennessee, Auburn, and Van derbilt in the southern conference; Michigan and Purdue in the Big Ten; and Southern California on the Pacific coast.

Colgate’s strong machine took Mississippi in stride, winning 32 to 0 for their seventh straight vic tory. Tennessee anif Auburn remained at the top in the South with easy wins over Mississippi State and Howard respectively. Vanderbilt kept on the heels of the leaders with a 13 to 0 victory over the strong Maryland crew. Virginia Poly dropped out of the southern race Saturday when she lost a S to G decision to Alabama. Michigan, doped as the class of the Big Ten this year, eked out a 7 to 0 victory over Indiana to keep abreast of the Purdue Boiler makers who were winning from Chicago 37 to 0. On the west coast, Howard Jones’ Trojans continued to cling to an undefeated record when they smothered “Navy Bill" In gram's California team under a 27 to 7 score.

McCranie was placed in the line at guard and made the first scrimmage tackle of the game between the freshmen and Fitz gerald high school.

Mothers’ clubs of fraternity and sorority houses did much work ir combatting the proponents of the school messing bill. Service or ganizations in all parts of the state went on record against the measure. The results of yesterday’s vote represent the work of friends ol higher education in Oregon. Socialists Form Permanent Club The Thomas for President club last night moved that it form an organization to be called the So cialist club of the University of Oregon after the presidential elec tion. The Reverend Ernest M. White smith, pastor of the Community Liberal church, outlined his views on the outcome of the election. He stated that he would stake his rep utation as a political prognostica tor on his belief that Roosevelt would be elected by a large ma jority of electoral votes. He also stressed the fact that, though Roosevelt himself was rad ical and tended to the left wing as much as possible, he would be restrained by the party backers. Whatever the radical results which may be obtained, they will come front the pressure brought to bear on him by a progressive bloc in congress, he declared. Law School Goes Wet The law school complied to the weather Saturday afternoon when it went “wet” as a result of a newly installed drinking fountain on the third floor of Oregon hall. Maryland Claims ’Fastest Human’ In Football Suit COLLEGE PARK, Md., Nov. 9.—(AP)—The University of Maryland probably will estab lish no claim to the national football title this year, but it does lay claim to the fleetest ball carrier in the country. Earl Widmyer, 155 - pound sophomore, wa3 the sprinting sensation of the East and South the past spring, winning 18 straight events before he was beaten by Emmett Toppino by a step in the final eastern Olympic tryouts at Boston. He did 100 yards in 9 4-5 sec ons several times and in prac tice on a slow track was timed n 10.5 for the 100 meters. Coach Geary Eppley of the track team expects him to run the century in 9 3-5 next sprihg. Official Observes School Problems Miss Ida May Pope, appoint ment secretary of the University, spent the month of October on va cation touring the eastern and southern states, visiting a number of universities in the interests of the Teachers’ Appointment bur eau, and visiting relatives in her home state, North Carolina. Miss Pope in her travels found the same problems in teacher placement encountered in Oregon, but was somewhat encouraged to , note that the U. of O. Appoint j meat bureau ranks as high in per 1 centage of placements made this | year as any institution visited. | with the sole exception of the Uni j versity of North Carolina which, owing to a fortunate local condi i tion, has placed an unusually high | percentage of candidates. While visiting the campus of the University of Minnesota, Miss Pope saw Dr. Harl Douglas, for merly of the school of education at the University of Oregon. Books Exchanged j Within Libraries i - I Five hundred volumes of scien i tific books, dealing mainly with mathematics and geology sent from the University have been de posited in the O. S. C. library for use in scientific courses there. In exchange the Old Libe has received Labor Gazette, National Country Life Conference, Taylor’s Webfoots Given Chance To Upset Trojan Machine LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 8.— (Special).—Although the Trojan football team had one of its hard est fought battles of the season Saturday with California’s Eears, no rest awaits the sons of South ern California this week as the Webfoots of the University of Oregon will be heading southward thi3 week-end determined to avenge a bitter defeat of last sea son. Showing unusual strength un der the direction of their popular new coach, Prink Callison, the Oregonians revealed their strength early in the season by defeating Santa Clara and holding the pow erful Washington eleven to a 0-to-0 tie. Behind one of the biggest and strongest lines in the Pacific Coast conference, Coach Callison has a set of hard-running, expe rienced backs whom Southern California will find hard to stop. Mark Temple and Leighton Gee, regular halfbacks of last season, and Mike Mikulak, fullback who as a sophomore last year was one of the hardest line plungers in the conference, are all splendid ball packers and likewise give Oregon plenty of kicking and passing power. Southern California and Oregon teams have met only three times in football. In 1915 Oregon won the first game, 34-0. Southern California won, 21-0, in 1920 and last year ran over a demoralized Webfoot eleven by a 53-0 count. Last year's walloping is expected to have the visitors fighting mad here Saturday, and unless South ern California can maae a quick recovery from its tough one with California the Trojans stand a good chance of seeing their rivals taste sweet revenge.

This exchange will be continued throughout the year, as material is needed for the schools which were transferred between the two institutions. j Donut Squads « Vie In Close Hoop Games Sigma Chi, Theta Chi, and Omega Fives in S.A.E. Forces Theta Chi to Extra Period To Decide Final Fray of Day Today’s "15" League Schedule Phi Sigma Kappa vs. Phi Gamma Delta, 4 p. m. Omega hall vs. S. A. E., 4:30 p. m. Phi Delta Theta vs. Theta Chi, 5 p. m. Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Yeo men, 5:30 p. m. By BEN BACK Tvm breath-taking finishes in yesterday’s donut hoop games sup plied the spectators with all the thrills that anyone would care to see in the space of two hours. The first of these games between Sig ma Chi and Friendly hall was won by the fraternity team, 11-10 score. In the other game Theta Chi defeated S. A. E. in a hair tingling finish, 12 to 11. The other game was forfeited to Omega hall by Sigma Alpha Mu. The last game on last night's • schedule was by far the most out standing in this year’s intramurals. Both S. A. E. and Theta Chi showed the effects of being well coached and in perfect condition. The game itself was won by a foul shot in the final 20 seconds of the overtime period. Uglow, of Theta Chi, was the stellar player of the game. S. A. E. made a desperate last-second attack which had the spectators in a frenzy. The other thriller between Friendly hall and Sigma Chi was won by the latter due mainly to the marvelous shooting ability of Wilson, Sigma Chi guard, who scored 10 to the 11 points for his team. Friendly hall also made a last minute furious assault on the Sigma Chi basket. The intramural board announced last night that the games would be played regardless of whether there would be any classes today, or not.
