VOLUME XXXIV Page 4 Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Emerald Sports Editor ‘Booter’ Elmer Kicks Husky Grid Eleven To Win Over Ducks WHERE’S ELMER? Or where was Elmer ? And who is El mer? Those are the questions about 35,000 people including a startled Webfoot team wanted to know last Saturday afternoon on Multnomah field. The occasion for all the wonder ment was the way little Elmer was acting up on the gridiron. And it was’nt the Elmer who makes it a point to be lost every time there is a convention or big doings in any city. This time it was Elmer “Boot er” Logg, unknown sophomore quarterback on the Husky team. * » * It was Elmer who started things off by amazing the Ducks with a few long, long punts. Then again it was Elmer who broke the six year record the Webfoots had of holding the Seattlites scoreless, when he booted a field goal from about the 35 yard line which started the northern team on it.s way to victory. And throughout the rest of the battle ^ whenever the Huskies needed a few yards they would have Elmer boot one down the field and gain about 10 or 15 yards for them on every exchange. llobby Parke wort of lost his title aw the best punter oil the coast but he lost it to a man who certainly deserves to take it over. * * * This fellow who kicks such a blue streak is a native Washing tonian from Seattle where he was graduated from Roosevelt high. He is just old enough to vote, stands about 5 feet iO and con sists of 107 pounds of right in the trim football flesh. Husky pub licity sheets say he is a fair kicker and fairly rugged but needs a great deal of experience. * * * Of course Elmer received more than a little assistance from a pair of his sophomore friends on the team Jimmy Cain and Byron Haines. These two speedy backs flashed and zipped around so fast t li e bewildered Duck tacklers couldn't stop them at all. The Washington line had a rather odd way of going about their business. After every play they would pick themselves up just like it was the last thing they would ever be able to do. Then they would struggle along and slowly amble in to the huddle. After re ceiving their signals they would still more slowly drag themselves back into line. And then SNAP the minute the ball left the cen ter's hands they were just like a streak. This trick of relaxation not only made the Lemon-Yellow lads take them not seriously enough but it gave the Phelan coached team just that extra bit of breath necessary to put things over the right way. Decidedly the breaks went the! northern way and that is about all j there is to say about it. The Husky line was faster and snappier than the Webfoots all during the first half. Never was the fact that a good ilne is more importandt than the baekfield driven home mot" strongly. The Husky linemen had a split second jump on the Ducks1 that gave them the advantage, every play. Michck, Parke, and Van Yliot were just as good as they were two weeks ago lint with their line not giving them what they did |>e- ! tore they were helpless. They were in the same piekle Warhurton is tins year—he will never make all Anierican again unless the Trojan line picks lip to somewhere near the snap of the l»33 team. Only' when their drive for the touchdown was on did the Web foots outplay the victors. Then they really looked like the team everyone expected them to be after the trimming they handed the Ue- ’ Ians. Everything clicked perfectly and with the team moving as it did* and they were as god as any thing on the coast. If Callison can get that fire back for the rest of the games Oregon will still go places as one of the best teams Upset General In Sport World Over WeekEnd Bulldogs Trim Cougars 13to 6 Stanford Gains 20-Point Victory Over N. W; Grayson Out Washington university’s upset of of the Duck football machine to the tune of 16-6 was not the only reverse last week-end. Fully half the Saturday games played ended with scores yet to be accounted for by dopesters. Foremost among inverted out comes was the final tally of the Gonzaga-Washington State game, with the little Bulldogs trimming the highly touted Cougars 13-6. The score was 7-6 until the last minute of play when Doug Day, Gonzaga center, intercepted a pass and packed it over the finish mark er. High light of this game was an 85 yeard run by Ike Peterson, who scored the Bulldog’s first touchdown against W.S.C. since, 1931! Cards Win Another big team surprise wan the shutting out of Northwestern eleven by Stanford, 20-0, Stan ford’s stellar back, Bobby Gray son, out of the game with a bruised hip, Coach Thornhill made the dis covery that Bob "Bones” Hamilton, reserve fullback, was capable of carrying the ball 100 yards against Northwestern in 25 tries. Little College of Pacific outdid themselves in their brawl with California, holding the more pow erful aggregation to a 7-6 win. Other coast scores are: U.C.L.A. 16, Montana 0; Pacific 13, Lin fielcl 7: Loyola frosh 14, U.C.L.A. frosh 0; O.S.C. rooks 13, Southern Oregon normal 0; San Diego '20.

Aggies Beat Tech In the mid-western division of the football United States, Michi gan State, newcomer to winning ranks, took the famed Carnegie Tech crew 13-0. Iowa State won from Missouri 13-0. Notre Dame looks Purdue, 19-7. Wisconsin ran true to form by licking South Da kota State 28-7. An entirely new Kansas U team won from St. Ben edicts, 31-12. Among Eastern teams: Dart mouth won from Maine, 27-0; Princeton bounced Williams, 35-6. Army won from Drake 48-0: while Maryland held the Navy to IMPRESSIONS OF THE GAME (Editor's note: Following arc some sidelights of the Oregon-Wash ington game in Portland Saturday as observed by Bili .YIeInturff, Ore gana Sports Editor.) Best performance on the Webfoot team was that of Frank Michek. Hhis hard driving tackles jarred the inner regions of many a startled Husky. After the seven Biblical “Lean Years” the Washingtonians finally raised Cain. And the tricky little piskin promenador, along with Husky Haines, certainly outpointed the Oregon ball toters. Jjs # if if if Oregon did not get a single first down until the middle of 'the second quarter. if if if if The one optimistic thing in the whole game was the way in which the team went thru its pass plays. Oregon, ordinarily a no passing team, completed several yard-gaining passes toward the end of the first half, although this was not done without considerable risk of interception. The best looking pass combination was Van. Vliet to Parke in the flat zone. Fleet Van Vliet also took the limelight in the Webfoot quick-kicks. It was Maury’s quick-kick which sailed over the h£ad of the Washing ton safety man and trickled to the northerner's one-half yard line to put the green-satin warriors of Oregon in a position to score. ❖ # # * sj: Washington definitely outclassed us in several departments. Most noticeable was the speed with which the Husky ends, Markov and Lazarevich, went down on the punts compared with our own wingmen, although, of course, the Washington puntjs averaged much longer and therefore much “slower.” * * * * * The Washington "secondary offeree” work was much better too. On the offense the Washington linesmen, after temporially checking their Oregon opponents, would go o,n thru and block out the Oregon defensive backfield men. It was, to a large extent, due to this that the ball toters from the Foggy City ticked off so much yardage. * * :|: * * But when, in the third quarter, the Ducks finally got a whiff of the Husky goal, they played lik/s a real ball club. Butch Morse came around on his deceptive “end around” play which had proven so valu able against UCLA, for fifteem yard. And the Oregon forward wall opened a hole through which our Mr. Michek could really “crunch.” There was real team work. A high light of the gtae was the confusing double fumble to wards the end of the game. Van Vliet’s pass was apparently knocked down by a Washington track, but before the ball touched the ground it was snatched by Alert Eagle, Oregon lineman. Hardly had he got under way when he w;is hit by another Washington back. The bal! popped from his arms like a watermelon seed into the hands of a third U. of W. back. However, when the contest began to assume the aspects of a volleyball game, the ball was called back for a previous penalty. a 16-13 win. Colgate sank the St. Bontaventure eleven, 62-0. Only two important Southern games were played, in which Ala bama won from Mississippi State, 41-0; and North Carolina took Georgia, 14-0.

Delts Are Victors; Hurd ami Maguire Swim Today Today’s Slmdule 4:00—Beta Theta Pi vs. Sigma • Nu. 4 :40—Gamma hall vs. Phi Gam ma Delta. 5:20—Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Phi Kappa Psi. — When Don and Dick, the swim ming Brookes, crawled from the gym tank and shook their heads free of a few lingering drops of water yesterday, the Phi Kappa Psis had registered their second sensational victory in two weeks of donut league meets. In giving their house a 31 to 11 win over the Sigma Chis, Don out speeded the backstrokers and reached the finish line first in the 00-yard individual medley, and Dick kicked the hydroroxygen com pound into the faces of his rivals in the breaststroke splash. To gether with Ringrose both took part in the three-man medley, tal lying again. Chi Psis Dose A. T. O. aggregated the most marks in the day's events, totaling 33 against the heretofore unde feated Chi Psis, who scored only 9 points. In the 5:20 p. m. meet the Phi Delts disposed of Kappa Sig, 31 to 15. A first in the 40-yard backstroke by Blanchard, a second in the breastroke, and a third in the free style curtain-raiser brought the Chi Psis their only tallies against A. T. O., while the Alphas shoved in a few pledges to amass their sum of 33. Leading the pack was Bert Myers, diving champion from Portland, who squirmed home first in the individual medley and sec ond in the 40-yard backstroke. M. Stroble and Cliff Troland led in ‘‘Charging’ Here is Andy Hurney, fast charging guard on the Webfoot team. He is a transfer from St. Martin’s college. the rest of the scoring, and all three emerged victorious as the free style relay unit. Stroble and Troland formed the winning 120 yard medley team with Forte. Kap Sigs Beaten As thp "Phi "Dplts; rrmmiprprl PTjin pa Sig, the Devers Br'ers, J. and D., held the spot with Schomp, Pickens, and Brownell. J. won the individual medley and counted on the three-men medley and relay squads. D. pushed home ahead in the free style and participated in the group medley. With yester day’s completion of the second round matches the Betas, Sigma Nus, Gamma haliers, Fijis, S.P.E., Phi Psis, A.T.O., and the Phi Delts remain in the charmed circle and will fight it out today, Wednes day, Thursday, and Friday. The University’s champion mermen will be crowned after the battle Fri day at 4:00. Many still favor the Betas, defending titlists, but strong support is given Sigma Nu, who faces them today, and the Phi Psis. James Hurd, establishing a new Pacifc coast varsity record in the 40-yard free style last Wednesday, promises to be the big attraction when the Betas hit the aqua, while Dave Maguire .another speedy swimmer, goes to the tank today, expecting to push the Fiji-dormers past the Gamma haliers. WebfootsRest After Contest With Huskies First - Stringers Watch Subs Scrimmage Ralph Terjeson oil List of Injured; May Not Play Saturday Giving his first-string lineup a much-needed rest after last week end’s bruising fracas with the Uni versity of Washington Huskies, “Prink" Callison, Oregon football instructor, sent the second and third-team reserve gridsters throught a hard two-hour scrim mage against the Frosh squad in a heavy downpour of rain last night. The Webfoot regulars were in uniform but worked out lightly, watching the practice game with the Ducklings from the sidelines. This afternoon will probably see the starting athletes begin a week of strenuous practicing in prepara tion for the coming Homecoming tilt with the Idaho Vandals at Mos cow on Saturday, October 20. suDs Look tiooa The Webfeet subs demonstrated no little amount of pigskin prowess in their practice workout against the freshmen, Johnny Reischmann, Walt Eack, Bill Patrick, Georgs Peplenjak, and Speed Lopez, who repeatedly broke through the Frosh for good-sized gains, espec ially showing to good advantage. Except for an injury to Ralph Terjeson, starting quarterback. Callison's charges had but a few minor cuts and bruises to display as evidence of their hard struggle with Jimmy Phelan’s Purple Tor nado, which overcame the Green ies’ bugaboo score on the Ducks for the first time in seven years, chalking up a smashing 16-6 vic tory. Terjeson, who tore a side muscle in Saturday's contest will not see action for several days, being doubtful whether or not he will be able to participate in the Idaho game. If not ready for the tradi Econoimis Wins From La Barre In Tennis Match Prospects that the finals of the fall invitational tennis tournament might develop into an all-family squabble, loomed when George Economus advanced into the finals over the head of Cosgrove La Barre, varsity net captain, 6-4, 6-2 in what is generally accepted in a big upset. George’s brother, John, is slated to meet Fred Fisher in a battle for the other finalists berth, and if he is victorious, a bet down on Economus to win the title just couldn’t lose. John advanced to the semi-fi nals by defeating Hutchins 6-1, 6- 2, while Fisher eked out a close 7- 5, 6-4 win over Winslow. Play in the consolation bracket of the tournament has been pro gressing much slower with 11 men still in the running for third place. All-Campus Sport Program Makes * Fall Debut Today All-campus sports will start to day with elimination tournaments, both singles and doubles, in ping pong, tennis, golf and handball, ac cording to Earl Boushey, director of the games. Contestants will be given four or five days to complete their first round matches. Because of the apparent lack of interest in ping-pong doubles, horseshoes and tennis doubles, it is highly doubtful if tournaments will be held in those sports. How ever, lists will be kept open at the bulletin board in the men’s gym for late entrants wishing to regis ter in those three events. tional encounter with Coach Leo Calland's proteges, Terjeson will be replaced by Johnny Reisch mann, understudy signal-caller, who was recently shifted to this -a position from a halfback post, or by Hugh McCredie, ergular quart erback replacement who of late has been on the sidelines with a pulled muscle.
