becher Memorial hospital in Port
land this morning uncertain as to
whether he will play another foot
ball game for Oregon this year.
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.

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.

Irish Beaten
By Van Vliet’s
54 ■* Yard Run
Oregon Overconfidence
Nearly Fatal
Columbia’s Sensational Passing
Attaek Almost Defeats
Oregon Team
An over-confident, listless team
of Oregon Webfoots narrowly es
escaped its first setback of the sea
son Saturday afternoon at the
hands of Gene Murphy’s scrappy
Irish of Columbia university. 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.
Van Vliet Scores
The Webfoots were fighting

noon when Van Vliet’s long run
for a score came writh but three
minutes of the game remaining. !
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.

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.
