Watch the Duck Today is the third time Prink Callison’s 1934 machine has seen action this year. They're the com ing coast champions. VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1934 NUMBER 8 The Day’s Parade By PARKS HITCHCOCK The Spanish Revolt Anti-red Scare New NRA Chief The jigsaw puzzle of Spanish supremacy seemed one move clos er to solution yesterday with the announcement by Premier Alejan dro Lerroux, Conservative leader, that the republic’s troops had en tered Oviedo, the chief rebel stronghold in Asturias. No doubt is there of the veracity of the re port of the temporary victory of the two weeks old Lerroux cabinet. Whether or not this victory would be of a solid and lasting nature, discerning critics were inclined to doubt. Catalonia Wants Secession The whole dissension found its origin in the constant cry for se cession that has gone up in latter years from radical Catalonia, As turias, Santander, and the three implacable Basque provinces. Peo pled by races in many ways fun damentally distinct from the Cas tilian, the Basques and Catalans have long chafed under the yoke of Madrid conservatism and the equally heavy yoke of Madrid ex ploitation. This dissatisfaction found some relief in the grant of a constitutional government to Cat alonia last year, placing that de partment in somewhat an anala gous position to that enjoyed be tween Canada and Great Britain State Socialism Long an enemy to foreign capi tal, the Catalan government set about redistributing the wealth of the district among the citizens, passed a land grant act which cut deeply into the capitalistic pie in Catalonia. Tolerant enough up un til two weeks ago was Senor Sam per, Radical premier at Madrid. But when conservative Spaniards thought matters had gone far enough in Catalonia and had the Spanish assembly deny the Cata lans the right to pass such revo lutionary measures, Radical Sam per and his cabinet were forced to retire. They were succeeded by the present cabinet under Premier Lerroux. General Strike The change of cabinets was the signal for a general strike, one of the most frequently used weapons of Spanish belligerents. The gen eral strike precipitated almost im mediate conflict all through An dalusia and the nothern provinces. Madrid was the scene of sharp spo radic fighting. In Barcelona, chief port and center of Catalonia, fiery little Luis Companys, president of the regional government, popped out upon a balcony and declared Catalonia an independent state. Senor Companys promptly popped back agajn and was whisked away under arrest. After two or three days the government outwardly has the situation in hand. The last organized resistance was in little Asturias among the hardy coal and iron miners, but Senor Lerroux and his cabinet are sitting upon the lid of a seething cauldon that may go off again at a mo ment’s notice. Catalan and Basque independence may not be so far away as is generally thought. It is now Great Britain’s turn to “view with alarm.” With Red Rus sia's entrance into the league, the jingoistic Saturday Review, blud geon of British conservative inter ests decries the admission of the U. S. S. R. into the world’s debat ing club. It is interesting to ob serve the parallel between the Sat urday Review and similar news or gans in England and our own “scarists” among the third estate who deplored the recognition of the /Soviet. It would appear that both Columbia and Brittannica were in more danger of the en croaching menace of anti-red” propaganda than of any deluge of communistic literature. Shades of Barthou The truth of the matter is, that pudgy Maxim Litvinov (pro nounced with the accent on the sec ond syllable i could find more to be satisfied with in the official welcome given by the British rep resentative, Captain Anthony Eden, than in the equivocating wel come given by one now dead for a country that had more to gain by Russia’s entrance into the league than Great Britain.

The student body ap- i proved a resolution “given in the I form of a vote of confidence to the publications committee and the ex ecutive council in affirmation of their recent action in removing Po livka as editor.” The meeting was punctuated by spasmodic applause, vigorous de mands for the floor, equally vigor ous "rappings” of the gavel, and dramatic oratory. All things were challenged from the rules govern ing parliamentary law, to man's rights under the Magna Charta, and the meeting closed with an abruptness that left several would be orators standing open-mouthed. Hollis Speaks Joe Renner, student body presi dent, opened the meeting by intro ducing as first speaker Orlando J. Hollis, professor of law. Hollis said that he was speaking in behalf of Dr. Boyer, at his request, and that Dr. Boyer would be fully re sponsible for any of the remarks made in the speech.

The final score wa3 39-12 in favor of Oregon State. The Beavers got off to an over whelming three-touchdown lead before the end of the first quarter, and thereafter it was pretty much a question of just how large the score would be. Taking the ball immediately after the kickoff, the Staters car ried it straight down the field for the first touchdown.

The Duck backfield quartet averages 179 to 171 for their opponents. At present the only regular who will not be able to start is Budd Jones/ right end tor Oregon, who is out with an infected knee. Roy Gagnon has an injured ankle and may not see much action in his guard post. Hugh McCredie has a pulled muscle that may keep him out. Pat Fury, reserve tackle, who was injured in the Gonzaga con test, is still not ready. Gardner Frye, two year veteran tackle, while not in the starting lineup for three weeks, is now in good condition. Muczynski Injured The Washington eleven is in good condition with the exception of Matt Muczynski, smashing full back, who has a Charley horse which will keep him on the bench the entire game. Although the starting lineups er very uncertain because of var ious shifts of the two mentors, a comparison of the men who are likely to play opposite each other is as follows: Raymond "Butch” Morse, Ore gon co-captain and two year letter man weighs 196, and is considered one of the best wingman on the coast. He is great on defense, a fine pass catcher, and can block with the best of them. Last year he was named on several all coast teams, and he is possible all-Amer ican this year. Playing opposite Morse for Washington is Ted Markov, a one year letterman, and one of t.io "iron men” that played sixty min utes and downed Stanford last year. Tackles Compared At left tackle for Oregon is Alex Eagle, two year letterman, and one of the best linemen on the coast. Eagle weighs 196. Starting at right tackle for the Huskies is Woody Ullin, captain of this year's team. Ullin is one of the best in the Washington line. He is a two year letterman, weighs 192, and stands six feet, three inches. Hoy Gangon, a two year letter man, holds down left guard for the Lemon-Yellow. Rosy hits the scales at 195. Opposite Gangon is Chuck Mucha, two year veteran in the Washington line. Mucha is hailed by Washington supporters as be ing a certain all-coast guard this year. Pivot Men Listed Playing center for Oregon is Con Fury, one year letterman who weighs 192. Fury has filled the shoes of Huges, all-coast center of last year, in great style. Opposite him for Washington today is Tony Burke, 181, a one (Please turn to Page 2)
