Keep abreast of the sport news of your University if you are not actively a participant. Page 4 ur Side of It... By MALCOLM BAUER What About the Yeomen In Intramural Athletics? Quick Trip for Ducks What are the University of Ore gon’s chances on the gridiron this spring? Last year at this time the Prink Oallinon answer w o u i a have been readily forthcoming from each and every Oregon support er. ''We’ll mop ’em up,” they cried. “We’ve got the best material on the coast.” . . . . And yet, those same loyal boost ers when asked such a question now will hum-and-haw and quick ly change the subject to what a great team Jones has in the South, or “how is the econ coming?’’ What is the matter? We have the same coach, the same men (but with one more year of expe rience), and the same set-up in general. * # * Here is the answer, Oregon stu dents, boosters, and alumni are AFRAID to be optimistic . . . they are afraid to back their team. They say: "Look what happened last year. We haven’t got a chance.” Did these broken spirited root ers ever stop to think of the handi caps that the Webfoots played un der last year ? . . . Did they ever stop to doubt if a team of green sophomores tutored by a man serv ing his first year at the helm might not measure up to pre-season ex pectations under fire ? They did not. They merely looked at the huge Stan Kostka, Alec Eagles, CJhUck Bishop, and the tried regu lars Temple, Mikulak, and Mor gan, and, expecting the latter to know all the football for the twen ty-odd newcomers on the squad, tilted back their easy chairs and talked loudly of Mr. Callison’s "material." And after all, the Webfoots did not fall down on the fireside dope sters to any great extent. They pulled through a tough slate last year with but three defeats; and yet u was not enougn ror Lite “drug store critics" who, some how, always want a national cham pion, * * * Arid yet, to look at the boys in a few nights of practice this year, it seems as if even the most opti mistic rooters may have a good change, of seeing their dreams come true. Prink Callison has a fighting team out there this year, and they are in his own words in fused with “the best spirit I have ever seen in a football team.” Without too much prejudice for the home team, I believe it can be safely said that this year Oregon's Webfoots are “going places." Twenty-two lettermen are back under Prinlc’s tutelage, a heavy percentage of them coming from last year’s ranks of “green soph omores from which so much was expected by last fall's dopesters. These juniors should be twice as effective this year with a season of experience behind them, and much of the stage fright, lack of MCDONALD NOW PLAYING 12:80 —Continuous Daily— 11:30 She could get any man she ever saw.. I' BED OF ROSES The dead rise to accuse the living in ^ EDGAR WALLACE'S drama of mvsterv and terror Callison to Take ± wenty-Eight Gridsters to Gonzaga Ducks on Way To Meet Fast Bulldog Team Alex Eagles Giant Tackle Injures Ankle Terjeson Likely Starter at Quarter As Bobby Parke Confined to Bed With Slight Cold Twenty-eight men, a large trav eling squad for these days, will make the trip with Prink Callison and his assistants when they en train for Spokane today. The Web foots are slated to leave Eugene at 5:30 this afternoon, and tomor row will arrive in the Washington city where they meet the strong Gonzaga Bulldogs in the first real test of the year. Alex Eagles, 207-pound letter man, who was expected to fill the shoes at the left tackle post sprained his ankle Wednesday, just a few minutes before practice closed. Bobby Parkes, regular quarterback, failed to put in ap pearance at the practice field last night, it was.learned from Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon trainer, that Parkes was in bed with a severe cold. Old Man Injury has already made camp at the Eugene campus. Both Eagles and Parkes will play against Gonzaga Saturday if it comes to a showdown. In case Eagles’ ankle isn’t in first-class shape for Saturday, the left tackle berth will be left wide open. Eagles was in uniform last night and took a good workout, so it's almost a certainty that he will fill the gap at the tackle post. But whether Parkes will start as sig nal caller is a gamble. In case Parkes is unable to start. Ralph Terjeson of Pendleton, will handle the quarterbacking job. Both Perkes and Terjeson are one-year lettermen. Last night's practice drill con sisted of a few laps, “wind sprints,” and dummy scrimmage. The squad will limber up tonight on Hayward field. The following men will make the trip north: Centers: Hughes, Swanson, Fury. Guards: Frye, Cuppoletti, Clark, McCredie, Gagnon. Tackles: Nilsson, Nielson, Eagle, Bishop. Ends: Wishard, Jones, Morse, Pozzo, Simpson, Mi Coy. Quarterbacks: Parke, Terjeson. Halfs: Temple, Pepelnjak, Gee, Michek, Milligan. Fulls: Miluilak, Bobbitt, Rush low. confidence, and nervousness under fire out of their minds. The biggest change in the Web foots’ prospects this year is, ac cording to some experts, to be found in Prince Gary Callison, “Prink” to you, who is going into his second season as head man at Oregon. Last fall Prink was new to conference footbp.il and confer ence football was new to him, es pecially in his new role of head coach. Last season Prink “felt his way.” He had coached hundreds of football players before, but nev er had he been thrown so suddenly into such fast competition . . . into the “big time.” At times he seemed over-cau tions in his straight football. At other times his well-planned plays and formations did not work out to perfection . . . But this year Prink Callison is a new man, he is a new coach. He is the Prink Cal lison of some years back who put Medford high school on the foot ball map . . . who tutored Oregon's frosh to their greatest gridiron season in history . . . who, while still in his twenties, was elevated to head man of Oregon’s grid forc es. He is a new Callison because has learned the fundamentals ot this game as only real participa tion can teach them ... he knows what to do and what not to dc . he knows what to expect front his conference opponents, and he knows what not to expect . . . he is not afraid, now, to break loose and do things his own way with his grid teams . . . and, greatest of all, he has the confidence of his men. He is “Coach” to them, anc they KNOW that he knows his Sigma Delta Psi Tests to Be Given Again This Year Sigma Delta Psi, national ath letic fraternity, tests will be given again this year, iccording to Mr. Russell K. Cutler, president. Any individual on the campus is eligible to take the tests, as it is not necessary to be enrolled in the regular Sigma Delta Psi class. Ap proximately 300 men attempted some of these events during the past three years, with 22 passing all events. In order to become a member the following tests must be passed: 100-yard dash 11 3-5 seconds. High jump—5 feet. 10-lb. shot put- 30 feet.

Women’s Athletics By BETTY SHOEMAKER The first Social Swim of the year, open to both men and women, will be held tonight at 7:30 at the woman’s swimming pool. Towels and suits will be furnished. All university students are invited to attend. * * * In spite of unsettled weather the hockey manager reported a fine turnout for the second practice of the season yesterday afternoon. The next practice is scheduled for Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. Anticipating the class games, many girls turned out for the sec ond practice in volley ball. Any girl who has not signed up for volley ball may do so at the next practice on Monday at 5 o’clock. Dick Neuberger, Editor Last Year, Back on Campus Richard Lewis Neuberger, mili tant editor of last year’s Oregon Daily Emerald, returned to the campus last night after a four months’ survey of European con ditions. He is planning to com plete his work in social science prior to pursuing the study of law Since his return from abroad Neuberger made numerous ad dresses on the economic and po litical aspects of Germany under the Hitler regime. In Portland Wednesday he analyzed Teutonic trends before a large group of civic leaders, who gave a dinner in his honor at the Benson hotel. At the Woodmen of the World I building in Portland next Wednes day, Neuberger has been invited to address a women’s gathering, with “The New Germany" the sub ject of his talk. In New York the former editor was appointed to membership on the executive committee of the American Jewish congress, and the American Civil Liberties union. He traveled through Africa and Europe with his uncle. Com. J. F. Neuberger, U. S. N., who headed the American delegation to the International Medical congress. football just as we KNOW that Prink Callison and his Oregon Webfoots are going to make it I tough for every team they lace this year. * * * Apologies, you fastidious sports fans, the picture printed on this page yesterday, labeled as Ray Sparling, captain of U.S.C.’s foot ball team, was not Mr. Sparling at all. It was Ford Palmer, tal ented end of the U.S.C. squad; and he, not Sparling, captains this year’s Jones outfit. Sparling grad uated last spring. FKIDAY SAT'D.\Y Shows at i>. in.

The awful news was 208 pounds, but he has had two weeks of grueling practice to lower that, and when the Web foots trot out against Gonieaga’s Bulldogs at Spokane tomorrow, he should be down around his old fighting weight of 105.

Trojans Have Veteran Team Smith, Brown, Sparling Are Only Losses National Champions Are Favored To Repeat Past Wins; Erskine at Tackle “Who'll stop the Trojans?’’ That is a question being asked by millions of football fans thorugout the country today. Can the Sons of Troy keep adding to their already long streak of vic tories or like the conquering hero. Napoleon, are they going to meet their Waterloo? The last time the boys from the moving picture center tasted de feat was three years ago at Pull man when the Cougars scored a 7 to 6 upset. From last year’s championship team Jones lost Tay Brown and Ernie Smith, all-American tackles. When the team took the field last week for their opening double header against Whittier and Occi dental these were the only regu lars missing. Last year the Tro-1 jans started minus some 7 regu lars so a more brilliant outlook is foreseen. Veterans on Line The Troy line will look some thing like this; Guards: Aaron Rosenberg, all coast guard for two years who should reach his peak this year. The large boy from Brooklyn (Los Angeles) tips the scales at 210 pounds. Larry Stevens, also 210 pounds and a two-year veteran will get the call at left guard. John Dye, who has subbed the last two years but has seen lots of action, may oust Stevens from the start ing job. Centers: Curtis Youel again gets the starting call. With two years of experience stored away Youel will probably battle it out with Hughes of Oregon for all-coast honors. Ellwood Jorgensen, 225 pound understudy of Youel’s last year will also probably see lots of action this year. Tackles: Bob Erskine at tackle win oe one oi me mam iaciors in the success or failure of the Tro ian team this fall. The other tack le position will be taken care of by either George Lady, giant Mer ced youth, or Heuston Harper, Troy’s mighty shot putter. Both are experienced and should fill in well at Ernie Smith’s old hole. Ends Look Good Ends: Least of Jones’ worries., Captain Ford Palmer, a great pass receiver at the right wing and Ward Browing, a 190-pound re serve end on last year’s squad who saw much action should prove to be two of the finest flank men in the country. The backs will line.up something like this: Quarterbacks: Irvine "Cotton” Warburton, 148 pounds of every thing it takes to make up a real football player and who runs fast er than a scared rabbit, gets the call. Last year as a soph the blond Nemis from San Diego broke in as a regular on the Jones eleven re placing Mohler. yomer Griffeth, who usually started the games last year but was replaced by Warburton, will probably see plenty of action this year. This 190-pound youth filled Bring in Your and have a com plete record made of them. Then in case of loss or of breakage they may be QUICKLY and ACCURATELY duplicated. (NO CHARGE) Dr. Sam Tyler 921 Willamette St. Rhone 620 (Directly opposite McMorran & Washburne) Successor to Dr. Giek Prospective Mermen Urged to Assemble At Theta Chi Today All men who are interested in varsity and freshman swimming are asked to report at the The ta Chi house at 7:30 tonight. Bob Needham, former varsity swimmer, urges all prospective mermen to attend. in well where the all-American Gus Shaver left off. Halfbacks: McNish is playing his third and last year. He is a clever passer and effective blocker. Clemens, who subbed for Erskine last season, is also an effective blocker having been compared to the great Pinckert. Jones’ halves seldom carry the ball so these men should prove their worth. Fullbacks: Gordon Clark gets the starting job. Although light, Clark is a veteran and should see more action than his rival Bob Getz. Cliff Probst and Bob Math ews, two newcomers from last year’s frosh squad, may oust Clark from the starting job. Deans Attend Convention Dean Wayne L. Morse, Profes sor Carlton E. Spencer, and Pro fessor Orlando J. Hollis, all of the law school, are attending the state bar convention which is being held in Bend today and Saturday. Donut Heads Swings Into 1933 Season Changes May Be Made; Yeomen Affected Swimming and Water Polo Are First on the Schedule; Basketball Next The donut program for 1933 34 got under way yesterday when the managers from the various men’s organizations met and dis cussed the calendar and general rules and regulations governing competition this term. The principal topic of discussion concerned the advisability of re quiring the Yeomen to compete in two factions and thus insure a more balanced competition than in the past three years. No definite action was taken on the question, as the intramural board can take no action until petitioned for the change. Swimming will be the first sport on the calendar and will begin Oc tober 9. All entries must be made by October 3. Water polo will fol low the swimming calendar and will be followed directly by bas ketball. Eligibility rules will be the same as last year.
