BEAT the BEAVERS BEAT the BEAVERS VOLUME XXXV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1933 Page 4 Our Side of It Ey MALCOLM EAUER Groat Things Hinge on \ Beaver ■ Duck Buttle; Reinhart Still in Bed I» IG things will be at stake when j * the pigskinners of Oregon and | Oregon State go at each other in j Multnoman sia dium next Satur day. In the two score years that these two rivals have been meet ing on the grid iron, the annual “Civil war’’ has always caused feelings to be at a high pitch on Bill Reinhart the two campus es and among the alumni, but nev er before has this great battle car ried so much significance . . . never before has its local and na tional importance earned for it the title of "Battle of the Century.’’ That is exactly what the Beaver Webfoet go is this year . . . the Battle of the Century. Not only will the outcome be of vital im portance to the 40,000 students and fans who are expected to witness the game in the Rose City, but up and down the Pacific coast throughout the nation grid follow ers will wait anxiously for the word of who will be the Pacific Northwest’s standard bearer this year. The winner of this epic will he due for national honors. Possible participation- in the annual ilose Howl game at Pasadena, and a likely invita tion to represent the West in the lately planned “national championship” battle in Chi cago, December 9, are among the glories that await the win ner. » * * Negotiations have already been opened with the University by the group styling themselves the “Na tional Football Championship Com mittee" to see if Oregon would be willing to send its football team to Chicago for a post season game with an eleven chosen from the East or the South. This game would be publicized as determining the national grid titlist for 1933, and the communication addressed to the Emerald from the commit tee made it clear that an invita tion fur Oregon eleven to play would hinge upon whether the Webfoots “come through their schedule without any defeats." The invitation, if sent, would in clude ten per cent of the net pro ceeds of the game for the Web foot athletic fund plus all expenses of the team and the bands to Chi cago and return. * * * But this is only one of the rosy paths which lie ahead of the Ducks if they can take the Staters into camp. To the winner will go the leadership of the Pacific coast conference with the Trojans as a running mate. If the Lemon-Yellow gridmen win, they will go into the Southern California game a week later with an unspotted record. This Webfoot-Trojan go would undoubtedly decide the West's representative in the annual New Year’s game in Pasadena’s Hose Bowl. » * * While Oregon’s sport fans turn their attention to the Portland epic, one of the University's great est sport figures lies ill in his bed. Commodore Billy Reinhart has j been confined to his home for more than a week with a severe case of ' neuritis in his left shoulder. The ailment is blamed to an old foot ball injury that Billy received j inasaEStfisi! BEARD’S WARM SWEATERS FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME Angora Hill Billys—in gay colors or the Twin sweater sets in brushed wool and Bephyrs yarns $4.95 Novel pullon sweaters in new neck lines and color combinations— per fect for the swagger suits $1.98 and $2.95 ALL SIZES Ducks at Full Strength for Beaver Baltle Pass Attack May Be Used Against Ironmen Webfoot Squad to lie Outweighed; Practice Sessions Are Not Heavy This Week , With his entire squad in great■ shape “Prink" Callison led the j championship headed Oregon Web- | foots through a light scrimmage session last night on Hayward field in preparation for the “big game” with the Oregon Aggies this Saturday at Portland. Webfoot backers were cheered : up by the news that Mark Temple, j dashing halfback who has been ! out since the Ucla game with a bad shoulder; Bobby Parke, great- • est punting quarterback on the j coast, who injured his knee in the ; Bruin tilt; and Oregon’s “old iron- j sides” Biff Nilsson, veteran tackle ; who has been out of the Duck| lineup for a month due to a knee injury sustained in the Columbia game, v/ill all be back in harness for the “battle of the century.’’ Webfoot Hopes Gain The return of these veterans to tbs lineup will greatly strengthen the Webfoots’ hopes of beating the highly rated “ironmen" from the farm. Last night’s drill consisted of the third stringers running Stiner plays against the first two Oregon elevens. The Ducks may take to the air to score against the Staters if the powerful Callison offense .should fail to_ gain through the massive Oregon State forward wall. San Francisco university has heen the lone team to score against the Orangemen. The Webfoots showed two real passing combinations dur ing the Utah game in Milligan to Gee and Van Vliet to Peplenjak. If “old Sol" is shining Saturday these two combinations may see plenty of action. Orange Is Heavier The Beavers will outweigh the Callison men by several pounds. The Orange line will total 1387 pounds for an average of 198 pounds per man, while the Duck forwards will tip the Fairbanks at 1302 pounds for an average of 186 pounds per man. The Beaver backfield will average 181 pounds and will total 725 pounds, where as the lemon and emerald backs will total 692 pounds, averaging 173 pounds per man. If the day is a wet one this additional weight will be of a great advantage to I the plow pushers. Feature Story Contest Prize to Be Free Pass The writer of the best feature story in the Emerald this week will see Virgil, world famous illu sionist, on a free pass Friday night. The Emerald has contests for the writers of the most heads, the most steries, and the most tips, but this is the first time this year that a prize has been offered for the writing of the best feature story. Elinor Henry, features editor and sponsor of the contest, said the contest is intended particular ly for beat reporters, though any student (except herself, of course!) is eligible. In case of a tie, each person will receive a pass. The I contest will include Friday morn- j ing’s Emerald, and the pass will be presented to the winner in time! for the performance Friday night. while playing for Oregon “not so 1 long ago." The varsity hoop coach and frosh grid mentor should be up anil around in a few days, says Mrs. I Reinhart. Just try and keep him , away from Portland this weekend. ' Ferocious '*Ferrous” Football Flock WEBFOOTS vs. BEAVERS Veteran Guards and \ Centers Slated to Do Battle Next Saturday i By DON OLDS The Webfoot-Beaver clash Saturday should take on some of the aspects of a cyclone, with one very significant difference. The center of a cyclone is an area of calm, hut the core of the annual battle will be anything but peaceful. While both teams will offer guards and centers averaging well over 190 pounds, it is net so much weight that will count as the indi vidual ability of the linesmen. With Cuppoletti, Hughes and Clark matched against Wedin, pevine, and Tomscheck there shouldn’t be many idle moments. It is at the guard position that Lon Stiner will probably have to lvuvy ui),non rely Upon reserve strength, and nuBura while the regulars are evenly matched, Callison's reserves size up bet ter than the bench-bound staters. As regulars Prink has two veterans, Bree Cuppoletti and Howard "Dutch” Clark. Close on their heels are Con Fury, candidate for Clark's position at right guard, and Rosy Gagnon, reserve left guard. And in listing the Oregon guards, Gardi ner Frye, who has been filling Nilsson’s place at tackle, should cer tainly not be omitted. McCredie, a sophomore, is another potentiality for right guard. Beaver Star Hurt The importance of the Beaver guard reserves centers around Tomscheck’s injury, sustained in the W. S. C. game. William Henry Tomscheck is reported to be out. of the game and it is a fact that his place was taken by Stanley McClurg in the last part of the Cougar fight. Tomsheck has won one letter, weighs 195 pounds and is 24 years old. McClurg, his un derstudy for left guard, is a soph omore, and weighs the same as Tomscheck. Vernon Wedin, the other Beaver guard, is a transfer from Monmouth. Bike Cuppoletti of Oregon, he moves back into the secondary on defense. Besides McClurg, the outstanding reserve guard is John Filipoff, a 200-pound sophomore. Stiner can also count on Wilfred Kenna, who has won one letter in two years of expe rience. John Pitts and Stanley Rolfsness, neither of whom has had Drevious experience. Ducks Ilcst at Center At center the Webfoots have a decided edge. Bernie Hughes, co captain and all-coast center, will face Clyde Devine, promoted this year from the 1932 third string. Devine, however, is not to be taken lightly. He weighs 200 pounds (Hughes weighs 185 or so) and has 210 minutes of playing to his credit against Gonzaga, S. F. U , IT. S. C. and W. S, C. Chuck Swanson is the capable gentleman who takes Hughes’ place when the occasion arises. The Orange eleven also have a good man in reserve for center. k----— He is Willis Danforth, a senior wiLh two years’ experience and one letter to his credit. Stiner also lists Edwin Creider in his center roll. Library Handles Mail-Order Calls Mail-order circulation is by no means negligible among the func tions of the University library, ac cording to figures obtained recent ly from M. H. Douglass, librarian. During the year 1932 the library loaned 2318 items books, maga zines, pamphlets, etc.,— and bor rowed 567 items through the mail. Most of the mailing is done to other libraries. Individual borrow ers are served through libraries in their own towns or the state li brary. When these do not have a book that is needed, patrons may request that the book be borrowed from the University. Libraries of the other schools in the state system of higher educa tion frequently borrow from and lend to the University by mail. Correspondence and extension students may in some cases bor row books by mail directly from this library without making application through other organi zations, Douglass said. Inquiries for books received and mailing is handled in the librar ian's office. "Patronize Emerald advertisers.” Get Ready !

Duck-Beaver Contest Will Be Thirty-Seventh Grid Classic The University of Oregon will meet its oldest football foe this doming Saturday, when it tangles ■<vith the Oregon State Beavers for the thirty-seventh time. Way back in 1894 Oregon and O. S. C. (O. A. C. at that time) played the first of a series of ! games which has continued with two interruptions up to the pres ent time. Rivalry between the two schools, it seems, has grown with every game played, and this year’s struggle will certainly be a haru fought and closely contested one. Oregon is on the top of the Pa cific Coast conference football heap with a record of three wins, no losses ,and no ties, but O. S. C. isn't far behind with two wins,! no losses, and no ties, but O. S. C. I wins, it will be an important step | toward the Pacific Coast cham- j pionship, but the “Ironmen'' from i Corvallis are determined to upset; the fast-stepping Wcbfoots. since lsai me ducks nave won 20 contests, the Beavers nine, and ' seven games have ended with tie | scores. This might point to an evident superiority in the Duck teams of the past, but we must! also consider another angle. In the last ten games the Ducks have, 'captured four games, the Beavers five and one ended in a tie. Oregon State won the first game ’ in 1894 by a score of 16 to 0, but the Ducks came back in the fol lowing year to swamp their rivals 42 to 0. The first gamg drew a crowd of 500 persons, which was a good crowd for that time. Since ‘ there was no stadium in which to play the game, the only way money could be collected was by asking for donations from the cash customers. Oregon took the 1896 game by a score of S to 4 and the Staters came back in '97 to win 26 to 0. Oregon won the games of '9S and ; 99 by the identical scores of 38 to 0. In 1900 and 1901 the board of regents abolished all forms of intercollegiate sports but the ri valry was revived in 1902 when the two schools fought to a 0-to-0 tie. Oregon then proceeded to take the next three games and to tie the fourth. In 1907 the Beavers won, then the Ducks started an other winning streak, taking four successive games, tying the next two, then winning two more. It was in the middle of this win ning streak, in 1911, that the board of regents again called a halt to all intercollegiate sports, O. S. C. won the 1917 tilt, then Oregon won two, tied two, and then won another. O. S. C. won the 1923 game and Oregon the 1921. In 1925 the Beavers started a series of wins that stretched into three before the Ducks could stop them. This was the longest string of victories the Staters made in the 36 years of play. Ore gon won the 1928 and 1929 tilts. The Beavers took the 1930 game, the 1931 game was a tie, and Ore gon won last year’s game 12 to 6. Finals in Two of All-Campus Sport Events Completed With an unexpected burst of speed two of the all-campus tour naments wound, up yesterdas'.
