Iguesso Picks Grid
Winners; Ducks Arc
Favored Over V. W.
'T'ODAY happening to be the clay
the various football teams scat
tered around the country engage
themselves in playful battle it is
again the job of our friend Iguesso
to take over at least part of the
sports column.
The likable but completely daffy
youngster has been flopping up
and down the coast all week with
the majority of his time spent in
and around the Puget Sound dis
trict and those points.
* * *
It was Iguesso who painted the
big “O” on the big firebell chimes
up on the Husky campus—it was
Iguesso who charley-horsed Muc
zynski — it was Iguesso who
thought up the psychological trick
of telling the Webfoots Phelan
said they were a bunch of mugs.
What a Duck!!
And here is the prophet himself
in all his glory. A bit squatty per
haps just at the moment the pho
tographer caught him but with his
down still up and as proud of his
judgment as ever—
So right now it’s high time for
the ugly duckling to hie to the
throne room and in all his kingly
splendor shout down the results of
this afternoon’s grid scrimmages.
The topper of the master’s pick
ing- is the one about the topper on
I he day’s schedule and it says:
OREGON 20—WASHINGTON IS
* * *
After such a bold beginning even
with the echoes of about 15,000
Husky fans ringing in his ears the
dopesters still has the snap to go
on and announce the following best
bets:
Stanford loses to Northwestern
W.S.C. 2(1—Bulldogs (!
U.C.L..A. 20—Montana «
Purdue over Notre Dame
Michigan over Chicago
Bears 20—Pacific 6
Pitt 20—U.S.C. 14
And after that many blind stabs
at the hard ones Iguesso says any
fool could guess these but here
they are: Army takes Drake but
Brigham Young loses to Utah,
while Iowa and Harvard are win
ning from Nebraska and Brown. -
BETTER PI CK, H1IX
While gazing over the Portland
papers of the last few days we no
tice that Bill Bowcrman and his
Franklin h i g h
eleven have more
or less been tak
ing it on the chin
from some of the
other teams.
It's too bad
that the breaks
a r e not going
with Bill in his
first stab at the
■ >111 umu'rman coaming game
with a big time high school team.
He really deserves anything going
in the way of breaks if one judges
at all by his record while here at
the University.
* * *
Bill was not only a star athlete,
an outstanding scholar, and a great
worker in many important activi
ties, but was well-liked personally
So, just in case it might bolster
his cause a little we want to say,
"Better Luck Bill.” And in saying
this it's certain that it is an echo
of the entire campus sentiment and
everyone is wishing Bowerman the
best possible future in his work in
Portland.

Here’s What the Lemon-Yellow Wants to Do Today
When the Webfoots take the field this afternoon they will he trying to do the same thing they did last year when they trimmed the Huskies 13 toO. The picture above
shows an action shot of the Duck victory and the scoreboard on the Seattle field.
Webfoot Record Better Than Huskies
f
Oregon Looks
Better In 1934
Grid Contests
Betting Gilds Still Give
Seattleites Edge
Both Elevens Have Better
Lineups Than Fans
Expected
So far this season Oregon has
defeated Gonzaga by a score of
13 to 0 and U. C. L. A. by 26 to 3
while the University of Washing
ton has taken Idaho 13 to 0. In
the early season games when Ore
gon and Washington were taking
Gonzaga and Idaho into camp by
the same score everything seemed
to show the Huskies and the Ducks
to be on even terms, with both
teams headed for another season
with just ordinary squads.
Then came a big upset. Oregon
met the highly rated U. C. L. A.
team from the south and kicking
the dope bucket over with a bag
gave the boys from U. C. L. A. a
beating to the tune of 26 to 3. Ore
gon’s hopes for another great team
began to rise. Everywhere were
heard comments about Michke's
wonderful job of filling the shoes
of Mikulak and Van Vliet, the wisp
from the south.
Wasmilglon lirsu'U
While Oregon was gaining lau
rels Washington was taking a rest
anil no idea as to whether their
early season game was an indica
tion as to their real strength could
be obtained.
When Idaho and Gonzaga fin
ished their battle, with both teams
playing on a comparatively even
basis throughout until the final
minutes of the game, when Gon
zaga won by a small margin, ev
ery one seemed to think that this
game should be a good indication
of the comparative strength of
Oregon and Washington. The re
sults of this game would give Ore
gon a slight edge but still showing
both teams to be on a fairly even
basis.
Coaches Speak
Ul'lliu I 11 <1IV v. ft l (MU -
parison of the teams as to what
tlio respective coaches are saying
about their team's chances We
look in a paper one day and see a
story telling us that Jimmy Phe
lan says that all his stars are on
the crippled list, then the next day
we see where he is sure that his
1934 edition will take the Ducks
into camp.
We find Calliscm rating Wash
ington one of tht> strong teams of
the coast and having one of the
best teams in several years but
still maintaining that his squad
will maintain their string of vic
tories over the Huskies Evidently
both coaches rate the other as hav
ing strong teams yet believing that
his team will win out over the oth
er.
It all narrows down to the fact
that from all the dope the Ducks
and the Huskies will enter their
annual battle in Portland - on as
even a basis as any time for a
good many years although the
latest odds in betting seem to give
the Washington outfit a very slight
elge.

After a week of activity the in

round of meetings starting next
Monday.
During the first week’s clashes
two swimmers stood out from the
group in the person of James
Hurd and Dave McGuire. These
two lads will be in the competition
again next week and will furnish
plenty of excitement for the aquat
ic fans who turn out for the meets.
So far the Betas, Sigma Nu, S.
P. E., Gamma hall, and Fiji squads
have moved out ahead of the pack
and are in the quarter finals. Oth
ers who have not been defeated are
the Phi Psi and Chi Psi squads.
The program of swimming will
continue all week with the finals
in the tourney slated for Friday
night. The week following the do
nut water polo matches will start
and will be conducted in an elimin
ation tournament the same as the
swimming program is.
Only Two Major
Games on Coast
The only other game on the coast
today of national interest besides
the Husky-VVebfoot tilt is the bat
tle that will take place when the
Stanford Cards and the Northwest
ern Wildcats meet at Stanford.
Bobby Grayson, whose all-Ameri
can hopes received such a setback
in the Beaver game last week, will
probably be in only for part of the
contest because of a shoulder in
jury.
Montana plays l'. C. L. A. at
Lost Angeles but the Bruins are
heavy favorites over the northern
boys. The California Bears have a
breather against Stagg’s College
of the Pacific eleven while W. S
C. might not have such an easy
time against the Gonzaga Bulldogs.

Vandals Prepare
To Upset Oregon
Applecart Soon
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos
cow, Oct. 12.—One upset deserves
another, figure the University of
Idaho Vandals, and it is Oregon's
turn to have its applecart upset.
Still smarting under the defeat
handed them last week by Gon
zaga, the Idahoans have buckled
down for a heavy two weeks prac
tice session before they meet the
Webfoots in the homecoming con
test at Moscow, October 2. The
interval between the Gonzaga
game and the one with Oregon is
the only two weeks “rest” stretch
on Idaho’s schedule, except for the
two weeks before the Thanksgiving
day game with Creighton, and
Coach Leo Calland is planning to
take advantage of the long inter
im. Oregon has a tough game with
Washington this Saturday.
"No more errors,” was Calland's
order to his squad.

The kick off on Multnomah field
tomorrow will mark the beginning1
of the twenty-ninth Oregon-Wash
ington football game since 1900.
For the last six years the Huskies
have not scored on Oregon, and the
Washington supporters are crying
for blood. Out of the games played
since 1927 Oregon has won five.
Pro Football Loop Has
Five Ex - Webfoot Stars
Three years ago Eill Morgan,
Mike Mikulak, Bernie Hughes, and
Bree Cuppoletti, all of whom were
destined later to reach great
heights in footballdom, were team
mates on the University of Oregon
gridiron eleven, then tutored by
Clarence “Doc” Spears. Each of
these four ex-Webfoot pigskin
artists, through school now, has
since that season placed his name
on Oregon’s roll call of football
immortals.
Mikulak, the “mighty Mike,” and
the squatty Cuppoletti played to
gether on last year’s brilliant elev
en which shared conference cham
pionship honors with Tiny Thorn
hill’s Stanford Indians, Mikulak
winning all-American honors while
Bree received a place on the Pacific
coast all-conference eleven. Mor
gan, who ranks as one of the great
est of Webfoot linemen, reached
The 1932 game resulted in a score
less tie.
In the last three encounters the
Oregon team has gone into the
game the under-dog every time
and has managed to rise to the
occasion. Out of the 28 games
played, Oregon has won 13 and
Washington has won 11. Four
games have been ties.
Large Scores Made
The largest score of any Oregon
Washington football game was
made in 1900, when Oregon won
by a score of 43-0. Another large
score was made in 1927 when Ore
gon won 27-0
Oregon, from 1908 to 1917 in
clusive, didn't win a single game
from Washington. Following is a

] his playing peak in 1932 when he
“made” the all-coast team, re
ceived several all-American men
tions, and proved himself one of )
the outstanding tackles in the na
tion by his sensational play in the
annual East-West grid classic of
that year. Hughes, whose entire
prep school and collegiate career
was guided by Prink Callison, pres
ent Webfoot mentor, handled the
Oregon pivot post through the sea
sons of 1931, ’32, and ’33, and he,
too, gained a place on various “all
star” squads.
This season four stars will again
lig their cleats into the same grid
iron when the Chicago Cardinals
and the New York Giants clash in
their scheduled National Profes
sional League contest. “All-Ameri
can Mike,” “Cup,” and "Bernie”
are still together, playing with the
Chicago outfit coached by Paul
Schissler, formerly of Oregon State
college. But across the line from
them when these two pro elevens
meet this fall will be "Big Bill.” r
While Morgan is now a sophomore
in big league grid work, this sea
son marks the debut in faster pig
skin play of the other trio who are
freshmen in advanced football cir
cles.
J While these four athletes are
' grabbing the lion’s share of the
limelight as far as Oregon foot
ball followers are concerned, an
other ex-Webfoot is starring as
captain for the Detroit Lions, un
defeated member of the same con
ference, in the person of George
Christensen, tackle on the Duck
teams of ’28, ’29, and ’30. Winning
his glory a short time before the
"other four," Christensen was also
an all-coaster on the mythical
"star" team in his final year.
Though not reaping the publicity
being given the other players,
Christensen may proudly boast of
the fact that his team has defeated
both the Cardinals, Giant and
Green Bay Packers, and now leads •*j
the professional circuit.
