Betty Shoemaker VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1933 SPORTS THE athletic activities of the University of Oregon, its competitive teams and otherwise, should be the concern of each and every student on the campus. Keep abreast of the sport news of your University if you are not actively a participant. Page 4 o urSide of It... By MALCOLM BAUER What About the Yeomen In Intramural Athletics? Quick Trip for Ducks INTRAMURAL officials and managers are meeting this aft ernoon in the men’s gym to get things started right for this year’s donut program, and from all ad vance rumblings there is due to be lots of talk floating across the well-worn boards of the men’s gym. What is to be done this year with that miscellaneous organiza tion of donut players known as the Yeomen? . . . This is the ques tion that now troubles every rep resentative of each humble fra ternity house or hall as he won ders if once again his small hand ful of ping-pongers, handballists, and basketeers are to bow before the combined army of independ ents. For the past two seasons the intramural race—as a race—has become a farce. It has become almost a precedent that the Yeo men, choosing their representa tive teams from some 500 non fraternity players, should coast through with an easy victory with a comfortable margin of points between them and their nearest competitors. Maybe the outfits limited by bonds of membership and housing capacity should be passive in their acceptance of the precedent and acknowledge the independents’ su periority ... be very satisfied to finish second in the list of more than 25 groups. “Anyway,” argue some, “isn’t it just for the sport of the thing, the exercise and training gained by the participants that these are promoted. The point standings mean nothing.” That’s all very nice, but just make a remark like this to “Prink” Callison about his foot ball team . . . try and convince the Oregon student body that a victory over O. S. C. doesn’t mean as much as the exercise our boys get in the “worthy contest." Ex plain to Billy Reinhart that he should really give all of those at his first basketball turnout an equal chance to develop their muscles J>y playing them in all the big gamtes. . . . No. That isn t the American conception of sport, of competi tion, and a test of skill. Ask the champion if he would be satisfied in coining second, even if those competing numbered in the hun dreds . . . the answer would al ways be the same. ... In pro fessional sport, in amateur sport, in intercollegiate sport, and like wise in intramural competition, second best is not the ideal of the athlete. Fraternity and hall groups are not asking that the Yeomen be di&banded. They merely want to be given a chance to try their skill against a group of their own number and limitations. Theirs is the spirit all American athletic competition is based on. They want a fair chance, a good game, and let the best man win. The Webfoots are going to have hard sailing to be on their toes for the Gonzaga game this week end. Due to the shortage in the athletic budget, the boys will be forced to make the trip to and from Spokane and play the game in the space of about 48 hours. They leave here Friday night for the north, and will no sooner step off the train at Spokane than they will be- rushed to the field for the game. The return trip will be made with similar speed to prevent too much wear and tear on the deli cate allowance from the Univer sity budget. They’ll have to take the Bulldogs on the run. Slip Madigan, headman for the St. Mary's moleskin outfit, is tak ing no chances on sports writers and similar pests mistaking the name of his gridiron aggregation. He is also wary of impostors. In 1927 he had the official title “Gal loping Gaels" copyrighted. * * * Tiny Thornhill’s recent an nouncement that the first and best team of his Stanford gridsters will appear in every game on the In dians’ schedule this season, means that fans who sit in at the Red skins’ opener against San Jose Saturday will see practically all of the boys, upon whom the new Palo Alto mentor is counting, in action. Tiny, himself, is frank to admit that at this lime he does not know the personnel of his reg ular eleven but that for the pres ent, at least, the San Jose game will determine who are to be the first stringers. Barker Will Return Miss Beatrice J. Barker, head cataloger in the library, is expect ed to return to work next week after being detained in Seattle by illness. Ducks Ready For Gonzaga Grid Battle Callison to Start Willi Veteran Lineup Coach Wary of Bulldog Strength Despite Recent Defeat By Washington Prince Gary Callison, Oregon football’s headman, knows that the scrappy Gonzaga Bulldogs dis played only a small portion of their offensive strength against the Washington Huskies last Sat urday. Callison can still remember the game last fall when the Oregon Webfoots grabbed a fired-up Gon zaga Bulldog by the tail, and had a hard time letting go, but even tually they eked out a 13-to-6 win. It took the services of Stan Kostka and Mike Mikulak, who had been out with injuries, to stop Gonzaga’s brilliant fourth quarter drive for a touchdown. The drive fell inches short of the Oregon goal line. Team in Good Shape The University of Oregon foot ball team is fast shaping into tip top condition for its clash with Gonzaga university at Spokane this Saturday. Men who will start in the Ore gon line and backfield are practi cally decided upon, but several last minute changes may be made before the opening whistle. In the line Butch Morse, one year letterman, is almost a sure starter. At right end Charles Wishard, two-year letterman, is expected to get the opening call over Bud Pozzo, who started against Linfield. Wishard is one of the best wingmen on the Coast when he "wants” to play ball. Big Boys on Bine Alex Eagle, who hails from San Francisco, will start at left tackle Saturday. Charley Bishop is another likely starter for the left tackle post. Biff Nillson, two year jetterman, will start at right :ackle. He has held down this same post for the last two years. The guard posts are looked after Jy Dutch Clark and Gardner Frye. 3ree Cuppoletti and Roy Gagnon ire waging quite a battle to see f they can displace last year’s veterans. Co-captain Bernie Hughes, the boy who plays without any shoul der pads or hip pads, will start at center. Many sports writers up and down the Coast picked Hughes on their All-Coast teams last fall. Parke To Bo at Quarter Bobby Parke will call signals Saturday. Ralph Terjeson of Pen dleton is pushing Young Parke plenty hard for the quarterback berth. Parke is a natural player, and is reputed to be the best punter on the Pacific Coast when he is under fire. Co-captain Mark Temple, two- j year lettermon, who was picked on the majority of the All-Coast teams, will play at right half. Leighton Gee or George Peplenjak will start at the left half post. "Iron" Mike Mikulalt, All-Coast fullback, seems to be as reliable as a Baldwin locomotive. Mikulak is generally regarded in football circles as the best defensive back on the Coast and it is thought by some that he has few peers in the country as a smashing fullback. WILLARD MARKS GETS HARE'S PLACE ON BOARD (Continued from Patie One) duty to render a gratuitous and possibly a very unpleasant service. Before I had arrived at my deci sion, the question of politics in higher education was raised. In justice to you, to myself, and to the cause of higher education, 1 have no alternative, except to de cline the service. "I appreciate the sincerity of your purpose; and I trust that you | may have the support of the peo ple of our state in your efforts to bring about educational peace.” STATE BOARD APPROVES PLANS FOR NEW LIBE (Continued from Pa<]C (hie) 220. Individual book stalls in the stacks would be provided for 72 graduate students, the other rooms to be planned with according roominess. All requirements for a good uni versity library are filled by these plans, and, according to Douglass, would serve to diminish the waste of time now necessary for stu- < dents going from one library to ' another.

Calland Reduces Idaho Squad for Husky Grid Clash Only 35 Players to Make Journey To Seattle; Competition For Berths Intense UNIVERSITY OP IDAHO, Mos cow, Sept. 27. Selection of Idaho football players who will make L.eo Calland the trip to Seat tle for the Idaho Washington con ference opener Satu rtlay had narrowed down to 38 men, Coach Leo Calland an nounced Tuesday. Five more men will be trimmed from this group to make up the traveling squaci or 33 players. News of the Impend ing cut inspired scrimmages Tues day and Wednesday evenings al most too realistic even for Coach Calland, fearful lest injuries take an unwanted part in the trimming process. A final scrimmage is scheduled for Thursday, with a brief signal drill Friday evening just before the team boards the train for the coast. Following his usual custom for overnight trips, Calland will not take the squad out of the hotel at Seattle before time to "suit up.” Idaho students are busy plan ning a rousing send-off to what is believed to be the finest Vandal football squad in six years. Local optimism predicts an impressive showing against the Huskies, as strong as they are known to be.

Washington Footballers At Strongest — Huskies’ Hopes High This Season Victories in Coast Conference Are Predicted for Phelan’s Puget Sound Team By JACK MILLER Since the days of Enoch Bag shaw the Huskies from mighty Washington have consistently held down a position in the lower di vision of the conference. This year things appear different for Jim Phelan and his pack of Huskies, for the gridsters from the Seattle institution are rated second only to the formidable Trojans from South ern California, and Babe Holling berry’s charging Cougars from Pullman. If the readers recall last year’s game between the U.S.C. gridders and the Huskies they will recol lect that the Trojans won out 9 to 6 and that the Jones men gave all they had to eke out a win over the Washingtonians. This game saved Phelan’s job for him and he issued the warning to watch out for Washington next year. From last year’s team Phelan lost Dave Nesbit, all-American end, Captain Bill O'Brien, all coast guard, Burl Bufkin, star half back, who is somewhere be tween Seattle and West Point, John Cherberg, veteran field gen eral, and Colin Howard and Ray Finn, alternating centers on the 1932 squad. Phelan’s backfield this year is composed of Muczynski, Sulkosky, Ahonen and Hornbeak. All these men saw plenty of action last year and in pre-season, conflicts have looked exceptionally good. Peoarovich Praises Huskies “The Huskies have almost the ideal offensive combination in Art Ahonen at left half and the smash ing “Socko’’ Sulkosky at full, for it makes them equally strong on inside and outside plays. Phelan’s other backs are good, too, and, take it from me, there is nothing small or light about any of them, but these two stand out,” so says genial Mike Pecarovich, Gonzaga coach whose proteges took a 13 to 0 beating from the Puget Sound boys last Saturday. The Seattle papers are comparing Sulkosky to the immortal Ernie Nevers of Stanford in his line driving power and ability to pick holes which the large Washington line opens up for him. A real battle should pre vail when the hard hitting Wash ington fullback meets up with Mike Mikulak, Oregon’s all-Amer lean prospect. Art Ahonen, elusive back from Ironwood, Michigan, is probably the most talented individual in the backfield. His daring runs and outstanding defensive ability re minds one of Oregon’s Kitzmiller. Matt Muczynski, right half and blocking back is a triple threat man. He can kick, pass and run. He carries his 195 pounds around with the speed of a whippet. Jay Hornbeak who tips the scales at 180 pounds, looks particularly good at the signal barking position. Reserves Weak The main weakness in the Husky squad seems to be lack of reserve material. The frosh team at the lakeside college was the poorest in many a day. If Phelan expects to go places this year some new reserve stars will have to be un corked. Washington's one outstanding end prospect is Bill Smith, Nes bet's end mate of last year. Smith looked good against the Catholic boys but the right wing tempor arily being held down by Trig Hansen looked weak. Hansen showed plenty of promise but lacks the needed experience of holding down the job. At one tackle Phelan has Woody Ullin, 190-pound husky that beat out 275-pound Ted Issacson last year. Joe Wiatrack, two-year vet eran, holds down the other tackle position and along with Erskine of Southern California gives prom ise of being one of the outstanding tackles in the coast conference. Ted Isaacson will be back for his third and final year trying to win his old place back. At right guard is Neg England, 190-pound veter and and at left guard Phelan has They're Coming at You Here are two of Prink Callison’s rough, tough, 1933 edition foot ballers who showed their stuff last Friday against Linfield college and will next see action against Gonzaga at Spokane the day after tomor row. With the bail is George “Pep” Pepelnjak, midget half, while the big fellow is Howard “Dutch” Clark, veteran guard, who is playing his third year for Oregon. Women’s Athletics By BETTY SHOEMAKER The first turnout for volleyball proved successful when 27 girls began practice for intramural games yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock at the women’s gym. The next practice is scheduled this af J ternoon. All girls interested in vol leyball are urged to come out for practices as soon as possible. * * * Seventeen hockey enthusiasts turned out for the first practice of the season. More girls are needed in order to compose two teams which will practice tonight for the second time at 4 o’clock. Two practices a week are needed to make the class team. Don't forget the Open Hour ev ery day from 4 to 5 at the wo man’s swimming pool. Raul Radke, 175 pounds of “fight.” Hurley DeRoin, a former full back who weighs in at 187 gets the first call at center. DeRoin, a Chicago product, is an aggressive type of player who means busi ness. As yet his passing is not up to par but otherwise he looks ex ceptionally gqod. Glenn Boyle, who won his “W” as a reserve cen ter last year will press the Chi cago boy hard for the position. INITIAL STUDENT BODY ASSEMBLY SET FOE 11 (Continued from Page One) year, and whereas the interfra terr.ity council of the University of Oregon realizes the necessity for large attendance at the A. S. U. O. assemblies, therefore be it resolved that the interfraternity council goes on record as being heartily in favor of encourage ment, through compulsion or other means, of attendance at assem blies throughout the coming year.” Full Program Listed The assembly today will open with numbers by the University of Oregon band, under the direc tion of John Stehn. Following this will be a pep meeting with introduction of the football team, yells led by Mickey Vail, and a talk by Prink Callison, football coach.

Three Coast Games Slated For Saturday Stanford and Uclans to Hold Spotlight Idaho to Meets Washington, and Oregon State Tackles Montana LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27.—The race for the Pacific Coast confer ence title generally conceded to the Trojans but only after a hec tic season, gets under way Satur day with the feature contest of the week taking place at Palo Al to between a strong Stanford elev en and the rising Bruins of U. C. L. A. Other league games over the week-end include Idaho and Wash ington at Seattle and Montana and Oregon State at Corvallis. The Indian-Westwood contest appears earlier on the schedule than any other major league game in the history of the conference and will ffnd both squads depend ing largely on sophomores and transfers. For that reason the team which meets defeat cannot be counted out of the running be cause each team will grow strong er through the season as its green material whips into shape. Recent history of Stanford-U. C. L. A. competition is highly dramat ic. In 1931 the Indians rallied in the last nine seconds of play, push ing over a long pass to break a 6 to 6 tie. Last year the Bruins blocked a kick for a touchdown as the gun ended the first half and added another score in the fourth period to win by a touchdown mar gin. Following is the complete Stan ford-U.C.L.A. grid record: 1925 Stanford 82—U.C.L.A. 0. 1928 Stanford 45—U.CL.A. 7. 1929 Stanford 57—U.C.L.A. 0. 1930 Stanford 20—U.C.L.A. 0. 1931 Stanford 12—U.C.L.A. 6. 1932 Stanford 6—U.C.L.A. 13.
