Nobody’s
Business
By BRUCE HAMBY
'C'OR the past three days I have
been hinting for my little
friend, the eminent Crystal W.
& a i i . Hi v e r j
member of the
sport staff
searched the
nooks and cran
nies of the cam
pus but no Crys
tal. It’s really a
shame for his
predictions on the
Oregon - Wash
i n g t o n games
Bob Miller
valuable.
Maybe he’s wise at that, for
personally I’d hate to pick the
winner. Remember, Washington
State is a favorite. Their pre-sea
son record warrants that. They
defeated Oregon State once and
having seen Oregon State play
this season I know that the Cou
gars must have a team to do that.
But also remember what hap
pened last year. Yes, it's easy to
understand why Crystal is holding
out on us.

Oregon's chances to win rest
on one l?lg factor. If the boys
drive in hard and don’t let up
the Cougars may find them
selves on the short, end of the
score. Did you notice how Ash
land wilted in the second half
after the Webfoots had kept
banging in during the first pe
riod. They took the game away
from them at the very first and
. didn’t let up.
* » *
One thing you can be sure of.
Cap Roberts and Gib Olinger will
not let down. The loss of Kermit
Stevens is sorely felt in this mat
ter for Stevens is a fighter from
the word go. That's the reason
he’s on the bench now. In the first
game of the local series with the
Sons he suffered a severe knee in
jury that will keep him off the
floor until next week’s series with
Washington.
* * *
If Spook Robertson gets off
the well-known dime and plays
the ball he is really capable of
he may turn the tide. Jim Watts
always plays consistently and
can be depended on both offen
sively and defensively. The fifth
member of the starting lineup,
Bob Miller, should be able to
take care of himself. He will
have the honor of taking care of
Roland Johnson, the tall sharp
shooting ace of the Cougar
squad. Miller is big and aggres
sive. His only handicap, accord
ing to Bill Reinhart, is small
hands. His small paws made it
hard for him to be a first-class
passer.
* * *
One Interesting fact about the
Washington State quintet: every
member of the ten-man traveling
squad is a native of the state of
Washington. Three come .from
Spokane, two from Seattle, two
from Walla Walla, two from
Mount Vernon, and one from Kitz
vllle. ] lobby Cross, two-year let -
terman forward, is the pride and
joy of Kitzville, which, Ned Simp
son tt Us me, is near Pullman.

the story came from New York
that the Poughkeepsie regatta

Withdrawal of several annual
entries was given as the reason.

‘Pop’s’ Trams Couldn’t Br
Brat, Says Bruce
Thorpe Wins Eight Events To Put
Meet on lee for Warner's
Traehsters
By EDWARD J. NEIL
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 —(AP) —
Dr. Harold Ansen Bruce, a brisk,
dapper man and member of the
amateur athletic association high
iljuncil, held the floor, and the sub
ject was the return of a famous
son, Glenn Scobey Warner, to the
coaching ranks of the East in gen
eral, and Temple university in par
ticular.
“You youngsters,” he said,
“don't know the real 'Pop' War
ner. He’s slowed up some now. . . .
But I can tell you. . .
Whereupon Dr. Bruce moved in
to the past to add to the legends
that surround the name of the
great football leader of Cornell,
Georgia, Carlisle, Pittsburgh and
Stanford.
The story goes like this:
Homecoming day approached at
Lafayette in 1909, and it was up
to Dr. Bruce, coaching track there,
to top off a banner day of days
with an outstanding attraction. He
thought immediately of “Pop" and
his Indians at Carlisle, not far
away.
“For $400,” said Pop, “I'll bring
the boys over.”
Broke Then, Too!
That was a staggering sum in a
day when $35 was a large guar
antee for a track meet. But Dr.
Bruce wanted the Indians. He
begged what he could of the school
funds. He chipped in what he had.
Finally he canvassed the sports of
the town. On the basis of the
magnificent attraction he finally
got up the dough.
Nervously Dr. Bruce met the
train bearing “Pop” and the Indi
ans into Lafayette the day before
the meet. He had to see for him
self $400 worth of talent arriving.
The consequences otherwise were
too grq.ye even to consider.
Five Indians Come
“Pop” climbed down the for
ward steps of the train and there
was ONE Indian with him. Lazily
TWO others stepped from the sec
ond car. TWO more appeared at
the rear of the train.- Dr. Bruce’s
temperature rose precipitously.
“Hello, ‘Pop’,” he said, trying to
make it a hearty greeting.
“Where’s the team?”
“Don’t worry,” said “Pop,"
"they'll be here. Let’s go eat.”
Words, just words, couldn't
salve Dr. Bruce’s peace of mind.
All day he pestered "Pop” for in
formation. All day “Pop” was
evasive.
Where Is the Team?
In desperation Dr. Bruce went
to the college president and ex
plained the situation. The presi
dent gave definite orders, the gist
of which was:
"Find out immediately where is
that Carlisle track team.”
So Dr. Bruce, perspiring freely,
came back to "Pop.”
"Please, ‘Pop’,” he begged,
"where’s the track team ? I’ve got
to know.”
"They’re here,” said "Pop."
"You saw them get of the train
with me.”
"You mean those FIVE Indi
ans ?” gasped Dr. Bruce.
"Sure,” said "Pop” eomplacent
, ly. "We only want to win the
j meet, that’s all."
Dr. Bruce heard the last words
but faintly, as if from a great dis
tance.
Thorpe Wasn’t So Slow
The next afternoon Warner’s
five met 42 members of the Lafay
l ette track team. Jim Thorpe won
eight first places, and finished
second in the 100. Two Indians
named Arquette and Tewanima
finished one-two in the half mile,
mile and two miles, both running
! the latter under ten minutes.
, Shenandoah won the quarter-mile
j by almost that far. The fifth In
] dian, named Johnson, finished
; second in about everything else,
! The Indians won the meet, 71 to
I 31
"For years,” concluded Dr,
| Bruce, “we staged meets with the
I Indians. We never licked them,
j no matter how few they were
j Once we tied them, 56-56.
"We would have lost then only
an Indian named Houser refused to
throw the discus. He laid down on
the grass and refused to get up.
Even 'Pop' couldn't budge him.
“ 'No, Pop’," said Houser, ‘1
won’t throw for you today. You
1 haven't been treating me right
lately.' "
lYlan offered to wager $10. Miku
lak managed to scrape up that
j amount.
Both the contestants were put
1 on the mark and ran 100 yards
in their street clothes. The Oregon
player won by $20 feet.
Paul John Schissler, 1924-1933.
Following the resignation of Pop Warner, P. J. Sehissler, head football coach at Oregon State college
for Tiine years, enjoyed the title of “Dean of coast conference coaches” for nearly a month. But last
week he handed in his resignation. His record for the nine years was 17 victories and 27 defeats, which
did not satisfy Orange supporters.
My Greatest Thrill in Athletics
By BILL MORGAN
(As told to Ned Simpson)
W CAN'T quite make up my mind
1 which was the bigger thrill—
the New York U game in 1931 or
game that I just
| played in on New
[ Year’s day. The
former was
^ thrilling because
iit was unexpect
ed, while the
East-West strug
gle packed a kick
because in it I
had my first
Bill Morgan cnance LU
opposite an all
American who played the same
position as myself.
In the East-West game we were
trailing one touchdown at the half.
Coming out at the start of the
third quarter things began to pick
up for us and before we knew it,
Hank Schaldach who, incidental
ly, scored all 21 of our points—
punted out of bounds on the East’s
three-yard line. Right there we
called our “hop-ta-diddy" play, in
which each linesman took care of
the man opposing him and pre
vented him from going down under
their punt. This sure did fuddle
them up, and Schaldach ran that
kick right back to their four-yard
line. From there we punched it
over on an off-tackle smash.
The big thrill in this case came
from the realization that we could
shove this gang, mainly composed
of all-Americans, anywhere we
wanted that we could score on
them again and again. This feel
ing was strengthened by the fact
that they had more or less shoved
us around the first canto.
Elmer William Morgan, captain
of the 1932 Oregon team, started
on the path to fame as a member
of Prink Callison’s state champion
ship Medford high teams back in
1926-7-8. Coming to Oregon in
1929, Bill as he is better known—
played two years under “Doc"
Spears, and finished up his varsity
career under his erstwhile prep
mentor, Prink. Morgan was pick
ed on numerous all-Coast selec
tions his last two seasons, and
was given honorary mention on
two all-American teams this past
season. Two fractured hands kept
him from participating in several
crucial contests last fall, and his
loss was keenly felt by the Web
foots. Bill returned from San
Francisco last Sunday after play
ing a stellar role in the West’s
21-to-13 victory over the East's

At a meeting of the A. S. U. O.

Frosh Slated
For Hoop Tilt
With Yeomen
Fearlings To Get Initial
Test Saturday
Independents To Have Strong
Lineup To Battle Rogers’
First Year Quintet
By JACK CHINOCK
Red Rogers’ freshman basketball
team meets its first big test next
Saturday afternoon, when it meets
the Oregon Yeoman quintet at
4:00 o’clock at the Igloo.
The Yeoman five won the intra
mural basketball championship
last fall, trimming the Betas, 25
to 21, in the finals. They present
a well-balanced line-up that the
frosh will find it hard to break
through. The ineligible freshman
hope, Wright, a freshman himself,
will start at center for the Yeo
men. Another star, Chatterton,
captain and forward, is expected to
give the yearlings plenty of
trouble.
Harcombe Frosh Center
Against this line-up of stars,
Rogers will test his men under
fire. The center call will probably
go to Bill Harcombe, who is tlje
only freshman tall enough to have
a chance of getting the tip-off
from Wright. Sanford, all-state
guard from Salem, is sure to start
at one of the guard positions,
probably opposite Chatterton.
“Stew” Milligan, of freshman
football fame, gets the call for the
other half of the back court. He
will be acting captain for this
game, as no regular captain is to
be elected this year. Stroble, star
forward, will start in one of the
forward berths.
The other forward will probably
be Hampton, who has been switch
ed from center to forward, al
though there is a chance that Pete
Buck may start. Hampton has the
advantage of height, while Buck
is just a little faster.
The game should be close, for
the teams are very evenly match
ed. The Yeomen have the advan
tage of more experience and of
having played together longer.
Also, they have had plenty of real
competition. The frosh, though,
have had more practice recently,
and have been working on plays.
This will do much to overcome
any advantage that the Yeomen
may have. How the freshmen use
the things they have learned will
have much to do with the outcome
of the game.
Probable lineups:
Frosh Position Yeomen
Stroble .F._ (C) Chatterton
Hampton .F. Kjesness
Harcombe .C. Wright
Milligan (C) .G. Watson
Sanford .G. Inman
and 21-12. The independents won
in the doubles 21-3 and 21-12. Sol
and A1 Schneider, Paul Hughes,
and K. Card played exceptionally
good games for the winners. Heed
Swenson, F. Leis, D. Law, and P.
Sullivan made up the team repre
senting Delta Tau Delta.
