By MALCOLM BAUER
End, Tackle Berths of
Rival Grid Teams Are
Capably Taken Care of
IT'S about time that Oregon grid
•* fans, if not the grid fans of the
country as a whole, came forward
Trink Callison
to race the tacts
and admit that
the old U. of O.
has one top-notch
football coach in
Prince G. Calli
son.
It will be two
years next spring
that “Prink”, on
ly just graduated
from the high
school coaching
class, took over
the disjointed parts ot a potential
ly great football team, left in his
care by the illustrious, rotund Dr.
C. W. Spears. In securing Calli
son as head coach, the athletic
committee of the A.S.U.O. re
turned to the tradition of alumni
coaching staffs.
But the “soda stool grid sharks”
didn’t give a hang whether Oregon
had an alumni coach or not. What
they wanted was a coach that
could win football games. They
didn’t care much how he did it,
or how he acted when he did it, but
they wanted him to win. They
didn’t want a personality, they
W'anted a mechanic who could turn
out a smooth-working, error-proof
machine; and this is what all the
would-be grid prophets thought
they had in the famous doctor.
* * *
When Callison was named
headman of the Wehfoot camp,
loud and many were the wails
sent up hy ambitious alums
and self-appointed dopesters.
“It’s too big a jump,” was the
cry, and the scalpers pounced
upon such first season slips as
the 88-0 defeat handed the
Webfooters by Howard Jones’
national champs, and the last
second 12-7 defeat at the
hands of If.CX.A., as sure evi
dence that Callison was not
equal to his high position.
(They had forgotten that just
a year before Dr. Spears hus
kies dropped a tilt to the Tro
jans, 53 to 0.)
With as little a chance as Prink
got to show his hand in his first
season, a crowd of crepe-covered
wolves were all for having him
dumped out of his high position
and inserting some new Knute
Rockne, Howard Jones, or Andy
Kerr who would be willing to put
the Oregonians on top in the foot
ball world for a song. By some
turn of fate, the friends outnum
bered the wolves, and we have
Prink back this year. Now to see
what he has done to appease the
scalpers.
Today it is broadcast in every
sports section in the United States
that the University of Oregon is
one of the half dozen major col
lege elevens in the country that is
both undefeated and untied. The
Ducks have won seven tilts. Three
of these have been Coast confer
ence encounters, and their string
of victories here has put them on
the top of the heap in the Far
West circuit. Isn't that enough for
you, fans ?
* * *
But that isn’t the whole story.
Prink Callison has won games.
Yes. And what's more, he has won
them smartly. In every contest,
the Ducks have been keyed to just
the right emotional pitch, handled
in just the right psychological
manner to give them a decisive,
but no overwhelming win. There
has been no extra energy expended,
and no extra danger of injury en
countered.
* * +
A brief summary of the sea
son to date will give a clearer
picture of the meaning of
these facts:
The Linfied game: 511-0. All
of the reserves playing. A
hard-fought contest for plac
es on the first string.
The Gon/.ogu game: 14-0.
Straight football. Nothing
given away to the Washing

The Columbia game: 14-7. A
close call, but won by the wist*

A marvelous exhibition of

Gee Is Leader of Oregon Attack;
Pepelnjak and Arey Score
In Final Period
The Redskins from the Univer
sity of Utah found anything but a
happy hunting ground on Hayward
field last Saturday and were
handed a 26-to-7 beating by th~
undefeated and untied Oregon
Webfoots.
Coach Callison started mostly
second stringers for Oregon, and
Armstrong’s forces got a little the
best of the scoreless first period.
In the second quarter the Web
foot tutor injected the first eleven
with the exception of Co-captain
Mark Temple and Bobby Parke,
veteran backs, who are on the in
jured list.
Leighton Gee started off the
Oregon scoring barrage in the
second period by dashing 51 yards
off tackle to a touchdown.
Gee Scores Again
A few minutes later Gee again
scored for the Oregonians when
he caught Milligan’s 29-yard pass
from the Duck 40-yard stripe and
galloped down the sidelines with
the speed of a whippet, crossing
the goal line untouched. This time
"Stew” Milligan’s try for point
was good, making the half time
score 13 to 0.
The Webfoot lineup in the third
quarter was composed mostly of
second and third stringers in order
to give the regulars a chance to
rest for the "big game” against
the Oregon Aggies at Portland
next week.
George "Pepper” Pepelnjack,
who replaced Gee at right half,
scored the third Duck touchdown
in the early part of the fourth
peiiod when he made a miraculous
catch of a 45-yard pass from little
Maury Van Vliet, sub for Milligan
at right half.
Arey Goes Over
Wif.|r but a few minutes until
the final bark of the timer’s gun
was to be heard, Whit Arey, third
string quarterback who played
like a veteran, went through
tackle and sidestepped the Utaii
secondary for 8 yards to score the
final Oregon touchdown after a
pass, Van Vliet to Simpson, put.
the ball in scoring territory.
"Rosy" Gagnon, left guard, was
pulled back from the line and
kicked the goal.
But the fighting Utes weren't
through as yet. With seconds left
to play, Rinaldi took the kickoff
on his own 5-yard line and ,gained
20 yards on the return. Cowley,
pass tossing quarterback, then
threw a short pass to Rinaldi, who
shook off several Webfeet tacklers
to run 60 yards for the lone Utah
score. Grange converted the point
with a place kick.
The Webfoot gridders gained 253
yards from scrimmage against 82
tor the visitors, whereas Utah
made 100 yards through the air
against 79 for the local team.

It was this Utah game which
really brought Callison to the fore
as a great coach. Before, the cus
toms s were crying for him to
"open up,” and against the Red
skins, Prink really did “open up"
. . wide open. He threw every
thing in the bag, from long pass

But Prink Callison’s undefeated Webfooters will not let the posies fool them when they travel to Portland next Saturday to meet these hand
some Rents in the “Battle of the. Century” at Multnomah stadium. At the top, from the left, are: Woody Joslin, end; Norman Franklin, half; Hal
Bangle, quarter; Harold Joslin, full; and Pierre Bowman, half. Below are: Vic Curtin, end; Harry Field, tackle; Bill Tomscheclt, guard; Ed Mc
Intosh, half; Vernon Wediu, guard; and Ade Schwammel, tackle. Nine of these “stuffed shirts” will undoubtedly start against the Ducks. McIntosh
will be held in reserve, and Tomscheek is reported definitely out of the game with an inury. Clyde Devine, center, could not get into his high collar,
and was therefore not pictured.
WEBFOOTS
vs. BEAVERS
Web foots Have Great
Grid Coach; Record Is
Proof of Statement
By DON OLDS
When Duck meets Beaver in the “Battle oi' the Century” in Port
land Saturday, Prink Callison will offer at end a set of iconoclasts
on the coast. Wishard hails from South Dakota, Pozzo from Cali
fornia, while Morse is a former Benson Polytechnic Portland star.

posing teams. And on the side
they have accounted for substantial!
gains and have a habit of getting]
down the field under Bobby Parke’s
punts.
“They” are Raymond "Butch”
Morse, left end; Anselmo Leonardo
y Ferranti Del “Bud” Pozzo and
Charles “Sphinx" Wishard, right
wingmcn. These three men have
come from widely separated parts
of the country to form one of the
most dangerous wing combinations
Vdt' Sctuvummel
mat nave made passing, punting and praying no easy matters for op
me uregon ena commnation is^
one of the most dangerous on the
coast, and in all fairness, it must
be admitted that the Beavers will
offer another highly potent pair of
ends. These are Woody Joslin and
Vic Curtin. Joslin, a sophomore,
showed up well against the Tro
jans. Curtin is in his third year
of varsity competition, starting as
a sophomore at right end, playing
at center last year and filling left
end this fall.
Ducks’ Reserves Good
In reserve the Webfoots prob
ably have a great deal on the
bench-warming Orange substi
tutes. At right end it is difficult
to say just who is regular and who
is reserve. Pozzo is sometimes
called the regular, but Wishard
usually starts the game. Whoever
gets the call. Prink will have
plenty in reserve for that position.
Morse's principal understudy is
Bud Jones, with Ed Kendall com
pleting the list. Besides Pozzo
and Wishard, Ned Simpson and
Mason McCoy must be counted
upon in reckoning the reserve

power of the right wing. The
Orangemen reserves are almost
forgotten men, but if it becomes
necessary to replace Joslin or Cur
tin, Schultz will probably be the,
one to do it. He has been used
at both end posts. Campbell or
Jessup, left ends, and Woodard,
right end, may be used, however.
Moving farther into the line, wo
find pitted against each ether four
linesmen who will make the
tackle position plenty hot for each
other. Harry Field took plenty in
the Trojan game for it was at his
side of the line that the men of
Troy directed their power plays.
With Biff Nilsson back in the
game, the Webfoots might run a
few through there themselves. On
the left side of the tackle situation
Oregon has Alex Eagles, who has
been known to carry opponents off
the field "piggy-back" style after
charging hard during a game. At
the Orange right tackle is Tar
Schwammel, whose history in
cludes service in the Navy and
mention as an all-coast end. He
outweighs Eagle, but only by 3
pounds over Al’s 210.
Prink will have on the bench
some potent reserve material for
the tackle post. There are Gardi
ner Frye, who may not be on the
bench after all, but may play
guard; Dwight Neilson, huge
sophomore, as possible r ight
tackle; Chuck Bishop, who has
seen considerable service already
this year, and who heads the re
serve list for left tackle. Besides
these there are Bennison, Rae and
Sandiford.
The outstanding Beaver tackle
-eserve is Don Wagner, left tackle.
\tso Stiner may be called upon to
tse Harold Browu, Dan Mitola, or
Robert Rushing, for right tackle. |

Ducks Clash
With O.S.C. in
Crucial Game
Saturday’s Contest Is Set
For Portland
Close Battle Predicted in Annual
Grid Classic; Meeting Will
Be 37th Time
The University of Oregon ancl
the Oregon State college, tradi
tional rivals, will meet for the
37th time on the gridiron Satur
day when they clash on Multno
mah stadium in the ‘‘battle of the
century.” Both teams are unde
feated and the result of the game
will have a great deal to do with
the outcome of the Pacific Coast
conference championship.
Since the rivalry between the
two institutions started way back
in 1894 the University teams have
won twenty of the games and the
Aggies have emerged victorious in
nine. Seven of the “civil wars”
have resulted in tie scores. Ore
gon has amassed 333 points against
137 for the Orangemen. The Eu
gene university also leads the list
for the highest score in any one
of the games played. In 1895 the i
Oregon Agricultural college was
swamped by a 42 to 0 score.
This game at Portland will mark
the third time that the Beavers
and Ducks have met in the Rose
City. The first game was played
in 1908 which was won by the
“U,” 8 to 0. In 1917 the Corvallis
collegians won a 14 to 0 thriller.
The oncoming game is a toss up
with the Beaver supporters betting
their “shirts” on the “ironmen”
and the Webfoot supporters bet
ting what they have on the untied
and undefeated conference leading
Oregon eleven. Oregon’s great
showing against Utah last week
greatly raised the price of the
Webfoots’ stock.
