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.

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.

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.

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.
