The big veteran was carried off the field in the Columbia game last Saturday with what was thought to be nothing more se rious than a twisted knee; but complications developed which re quired more complete equipment than is available on the campus, and he was removed to IJortland where he is under the care of Dr. Richard Dillehunt, dean of the University school of medicine. Biff Out Long Time In the opinion of Bob Officer and Colonel Bill Hayward, Oregon trainers, Nilsson is undoubtedly on the injured list for a three-week stretch, and this period may be come longer if the injury is slow in healing. Nilsson's loss will be felt greatly by Prink Callison and his Web foot squad. The blond giant has seen action in nearly every min ute of play in conference compe tition in the past two seasons, and it will take a good man to fill in the hole he will leave. Gardner Frye, who has been alternating with Dutch Clark at guard, has been shifted to the tackle position with t,he hope that he will work into tne new post in plenty of time for the Washington game next Saturday. Con Fury will get a chance at Frye’s place. Many Ducks Victims Nilsson’s injury is the climax of a deluge of gloom for the Web foot camp. Leighton Gee, already troubled by a cold, suffered a mis placed vertebrae in Saturday’s game, and has not yet completely recovered. Alec Eagle, giant tackle, is on the sidelines with a boil on his heel. Mark Temple is still limping as the torn muscle sheath in his right leg heals slowly. Among others who will have to improve rapidly if they are to be at their best against Washington are: Van Vliet, who cannot kick because of a slowly healing leg muscle; Butch Morse, who is con fined to the infirmary with a cold; and Bree Cuppoletti, already han dicapped by an unruly shoulder bone, the victim of a sprained ankle. "Patronize Emerald advertisers." LAST TIMES TONIGHT First Him Paul Lucas — Gloria Stuart — Lionel Atwill Secret of the Blue Room 10-STAR MYSTERY THRILL COMEDY! WEDNESDAY Midnight Express Wins Grid Game For Pro Eleven Joe Lillard, sensational Webfoot athlete during the reign of "Doc” Spears, and now playing profes sional ball for the Chicago Cardi nals, kicked a ■ field goal in the secontf period of the tussle with the Cincinnati Reds Sunday that enabled the Cards to win their first game in three starts by a 3-0 score. IThe two defeats recorded to Coach Potsy Clark’s National Pro fessional League club by close scores,” one of which was won by the stro'hg Portsmouth Spartans, were featured by the colored lad’s open "field running and passing, and the line plunging ability of Jim Bausch, former University of Kansas btack field star. Lillard will be remembered as the Webfoot star whose brilliant career was halted in its infancy when Jonathan Butler, "the Cam pus Sleuth,” declared the "Mid night Express" ineligible for fur ther intercollegiate competition on the charge that Lillard had par ticipated in professional baseball. Yearling Coaches Sob as Arms and Legs Are Broken Half of Duckling Squad Out With Injuries as Clash With Itooks Nears Varying reports, all gloomy, were given out by Bill Reinhart and Irv Schulz, frosh coaches, and other members of the Oregon coaching staff regarding the year ling eleven and its game with the Rooks Friday night. Johnny Kitzmiller’s estimate pf 14 injured out of 33 squad mem bers seems bearish enough, but he is actually the Pollyanna of the staff in this matter. The other extreme claims that out of 33 squad members there are 66 broken legs, ten of these being broken in two places and four in three places. . Reinhart admitted that there were enough frosh football play ers outside the infirmary to scrim mage the varsity last night, but said that ten of these had “Bonltus of the Konkus.” The eleventh player was in love, he added. The coaches can reel off a list of injuries longer than Reinhart's face to prove their claims. A por tion of the list includes: Murray, end, has just recovered from an injured hip; Owen, quar ter, has a bad shoulder; Burchard, guard, has an infected leg; Penn, quarter, has a bad foot; A. Miller, half, has a bad leg; Farrar, cen ter, is just out of the hospital; Fred Hunt, guard, is on crutches suffering from a cartilage dis placement; Augustitus, guard, has a bad knee; Borden, halfback, has injured his hip. A movement has been started on the campus to replace Schulz and Reinhart with two coaches of more equal height so they may cry on each other’s shoulders.

On Injured List Alex Eagles, giant Oregon taekle, is the latest Webfoot gridste? to turn up with an injury. Eagles is suffering from an infected heel. Many Upsets Recorded on Nation’s Gridiron Program Football throughout the country was generally marked by a great number of surprises and upse»s over this past week-end. The greatest upset in the football world came when the Kansas Jayhawks shattered a prize Notre Dame tra dition that has stood for the past 32 years. In the great Ramblers' stadium the Kansas gridders held “Hunk” Anderson’s squad to a scoreless tie. This was the first time since 1901 that a Notre Dame team has not won its initial con test, and the Kansas boys won a great moral victory. At Pittsburgh “Pop” Warner's Temple gridders were completely swamped 25 to 0 by a fighting bunch of Tartans from Carnegie Tech. The Tartans were playing for the first time under the lead ership of their 26-year-old coach, Howard Harpster, former all American back for the engineers. The Navy sung enough "Anchors Aweigh” to run up 25 points to Mercer's nothing. Princeton had an easy time and took Amherst! 40 to 0, while Lafayette scored two touchdowns to beat Franklin and Marshall. Fordham Wins Mississippi surprised the grid prophets and held Alabama to a scoreless tie. The Fordham Rams looked strong in scoring 57 points in their annual “track meet” with Muhlenberg. The Army mule j proved to be stubborn enough to; win from V.M.I. 32 to 0. Columbia showed up well taking Lehigh to the tune of 39 to 0. Down around the Mason and Dixon line Georgia took Tulane 26 to 13, and dear old Vanderbilt L came through with flying colors to defeat North Carolina 20 to 13. The Mustangs from Southern Methodist took it easy and bucked enough to beat Texas Mines 27 to 6. Tulsa U. pulled a surprise win over Oklahoma winning 20 to 6, as did Arkansas when they took Texas Christian 13 to 0. Ohio State did the unexpected when they ran up 75 points to Vir ginia's goose egg. Indiana, who usually is the breather team of the “Big Ten,” surprised the Min nesota team and held them to a 6 to G tie. “Doc” Spears’ Wisconsin Badgers ran up 19 points to win from Marquette. Chicago took Cornell 32 to 0 and Nebraska came through with a surprise 26 to 0 win over the Texas Vnghorns. Illinois took the measure from Washington (St. Louis) 21 to 6. W. S. C. Swamped On the Pacific coast the Trojans surprised the fans by thoroughly drubbing Washington State 33 to 0, with “Cotton Warburton putting on the show almost single handed. The Stanford Indians hooped and war danced enough to win a tough 7 to 0 victory from Santa Clara, the favorite. “Navy Bill” Ingram should give Floyd Blower, dark horse substitute half back, half his pay check for his last minute run that won the St. Mary's game for the Bears by a one point margin, 14 to 13, a great upset. Oregon State outplayed Gonzaga but had to be satisfied with a scoreless tie. U.C.L.A. easily won from Utah 19 to 0, and the Olympic club took Nevada as expected, 14 to 0. Idaho, for a change, was on the large end of a 60 to 0 score, when they took Whitman, surprising the fans.

A brilliant 50-yard run by Van Vliet, substitute half, in the final three minutes of play was needed to put the local team on the long end of the 14 to 7 score. The Columbia eleven unloosed a sparkling aerial attack, which ap parently caught the Oregon backs entirely off guard, to score their lone touchdown in the fourth quar ter of the game. The Webfoots' first score came in the third quar ter after a grimly determined Co lumbia eleven had stopped them twice within easy scoring distance in the first half. Webfoots Wake Up Callison’s eleven came to life shortly after the start of the sec ond half, and after being repulsed once on a drive from midfield which netted them three first downs, the Webfoots put the ball in play on the Irish 32-yard mark for their first scoring drive. A 15 yard penalty for holding pushed the Portland team back to its 17 yard line. From here successive plunges by Mikulak and Gee placed the pigskin on the Columbia 8-yard line. On the next play Van Vliet scooted through the center of the Irish line and scored stand ing qp. Milligan kicked the extra point. The Irish failed to admit defeat, however, and the last period was not very old when Murel Nehl, Co lumbia half, on a fake kick, raced the ball from his own 38 to Ore gon’s 19 yard line. The Webfoots knocked down an Irish pass back of the goal line on the next play, and the ball went to Oregon on its own 20-yard line. In an exchange of kicks, Michek fumbled in mid field and the Irish recovered. Two well placed passes, Nel|l to Thom as and Nehl to Piskol, put the ball on the 3 yard line. Corcoran plunged to the 1-foot marker. With the Oregon backs pulled in to stop a line rush, Nehl tossed a short pass to Manion, and the Irish quarterback scored without being touched. Nehl converted.

With the ball on Oregon’s 46-yard line, the red-haired Webfoot half broke through the center of the Columbia line, and was out in the open before the Irish backs could diagnose the play. He raced down the east sidelines unmolested for the score. Milligan again convert ed. t Van Vliet was the offensive and defensive star of the game, averag ing 10 yards to the play in eleven trips with the ball. His smart work at safety prevented one Irish touchdown early in the fourth quarter when he dove over the two interference runners to bring Nehl down on the Oregon 19-yard line, after the Columbia star had car ried the ball from his own 38. Wishard and Morse, at wing po sitions, also looked good for the victors. Nehl Is Irish Star Nehl led the visitors' attack. His kicking was long and accurate, as were his passes; and he led his team in ground gaining, averaging 6 yards in 8 attempts. The Oregon line was too big for the Columbia forwards, and the invaders could make but one first down from scrimmage to the Web foots’ 13. Murphy’s aggregation garnered three first downs from passes, however, while the locals were ineffective in this depart ment. The lemon-yellow rolled up 311 yards from scrimmage plays to the visitors’ 42.

Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Sigma Chi. 4:30 P. M. Phi Gamma Delta vs. Sigma hall. 5:00 P. M. Pi Kappa Alpha vs. Sigma Alpha Mu. The initial splash of the 1933 intramural swimming competition, if not producing all the thrills of a high class water carnival, cer tainly gave promise of developing into a real battle for school na torial honors. The Betas started things by sinking the Theta Chi team 36-G when Jim Reed cracked the 40 yard backstroke record and their medley relay squad clipped .1 sec ond from that mark. The Yeo men, despite their recent curtail ment, easily submerged the Delts 33-7, while A. T. O. though find ing the Sigma Pi Taus a little tougher came out an easy 10-point winner. What few thrills the meet did furnish came in the nip and tuck affair between A. T. O. and S. P. T. with the latter losing a close race in the relay when Bill Tem ple, after a disastrous slip, failed by a foot in a great effort to catch the A. T.
