PORTRAITS
Editor’s note: The following is another
in the series of articles by Bill Mclnturff
which are presenting the various members
oi the 1934 Webfoot grid team.
ANDY HUNREY
Excitement aplenty was on the
Utah gridiron last Saturday when
Oregon scored the two points
which ultimately saved the day for
them. The Utes, backed to their
goal posts, attempted to punt out
of danger. Oregon linemen poured
through the Salt Lake line like a
ton of coal and when the teams
i were untangled the invading Ducks
had scored a safety—for two
points. Sunday morning sports
editions varied widely as to what
player had blocked that punt.
Morse, Walker, Simpson, and Hur
ney individually and in pairs were
credited.
The modest hero is Andy Hur
ney, 106 pound left guard. On
that play last Saturday Andy
broke through the Utah line and
dashed towards the punter. Hur
ney’s foot, in the midst of a long
stride, met the ball squarely and
kicked it back over the Utah end
zone!
Hurney plays under a decided
handicap. His shoulder was in
jured in scrimmage at the first of
the year and he has been forced
i to wear an arm band (much like
Cupoletti’s last year) through most
of the games. However, at Salt
Lake his shoulder was in good
enough condition so that he could
play without the cumbersome
equipment. Feminine rooters, who
complain that it is so hard to tell
one line man from another in a
game, should be able to recognize
Andy very easily by the protect
ing band about his arm and the
auxiliary band about his waist.
Unless they confuse him with
Quarterback Hugh McCredie in
the back field.
* * *
Hurney spent his prep school
days in Tacoma and played foot
ball for two years at St. Martin’s
junior college in Washington along
with ..Johnny ..Reischman... ..After
graduation from the northern
school Johnny and Andy left their
home state to “make good” as
Webfoots. A “tuff lookin’ cookie”
^ is the way Andy has been des
cribed ..“but ..easy ..to ..get ..along
with.”
Frosh Get Set
ToMeetRooks
OnHomeField
State Babes Steamed Up
To Take Revenge
Oregon Starting Lineup
For Friday About
Complete
Picked to overwhelm Oregon's
frosh eleven in the first contest,
those recently defeated Oregon
I State Rooks are determined to take
a horrible revenge Friday when,
on their own field, they again meet
the Greenies.
Meanwhile, under the ghostly
glare of field floodlights, the
frosh worked hard, preparing for
the impending “return match.”
Coach Irv Schultz started them
off with practice on the dummies.
The squad spent half an hour or
more absorbing blocking and tack
ling fundamentals.
A scrimmage between first and
second teams capped the evening.
Coach Schultz and his assistant,
ex-football star Dutch Clark, tried
out various backfield combinations.
Bud Goodin Out
Bud Goodin, frosh ball-toter who
drew so much attention at the
first game of the season only to
be injured in the Southern Oregon
Normal game, turned out last
night. His taped leg still showed
signs of stiffness which will prob
ably keep him out of this Friday's
encounter with the Orange Babes.
However, there is a possibility that
the Duckling luminary may be able
to start in the contest against
Washington's frosh, which caps j
the yearling pork-hide season.
Backfield Looks Good
The same frosh backfield which
showed so well in last week's game,
will undoubtedly receive the in
itial call on Bell field. Dale Las- j
selle, green-masked left half, and
the heavier Lester Lewis, full,
seem assured of their positions.
Lee Canessa looked even faster
in scrimmage than he has yet in
a game. He is a comparative new
comer to the frosh backfield and
is conforming well.

Wins Over Phi Psi,
Tliela Chi
The Betas will defend another
championship today when they let
fly the bloated sphere toward the
goal of the challenging Phi Delts,
who also forged into the donut
watcrpolo finals by virtue of a vic
tory last night.
Just as if retaining their swim
ming crown wasn't enough, the
Millracers again are the heavy fa
vorites of the wise birds, who can’t
see anyone but the Betas as win
ners in the water polo fracas to
day at 4 o’clock.
Phi Psis Beaten
Not hurting their stock an iota,
the Betas left the tank yesterday
the 7 to 0 conquerors of the Phi
Psis after the most lively-contest
ed struggle on the year’s record.
At the start and even at the fin
ish the Phi Psis were fighting for
the blood of Bruno’s masters, but
experience and luck shifted to the
champs from the time Wally Hug's
first shot was b.c.’d into the hemp
by Cathey until the final bark of
the gun.
Twice Jim Ringrose and Wally
Hug were ordered from the bath,
the second time with a “request”
to remain on the sidelines till the
end, and every shot, pass, and
tread of both sevens were marked
by deliberate roughness. Hug and
Gill both tossed two home for the
winners, and Cathey assisted on
two before counting his own. For
the Phi Psis Goalie Ed Meserve
was brilliant in his many saves,
and while guarding the direct shots
perfectly, slipped up on the. car
roming barrages used so often by
Beta Theta.
Theta Chi Loses
With a 2 to 1 win over Theta Chi
the Phi Delts gave the gallery
some thrills in the opening fray.
F. Anderson, right forward, and
Dick Devers, center back, account
ed for the winning tallies in the
first half, while Bill Pease of the
Theta Chis rode one into the Phi
Delt net in the second half. A be
lated rally was nipped with the
sound of the gun.
Partial cause of the Theta Chi
defeat was the slight inaccuracy in
the long shots, which seemed la
beled as good.
The Phi Delts were the semi-fi
nalists who opposed the Theta Chis
by virtue of a 3 to 0 victory over
the Kappa Sigs Monday and did
not lose to the Kappa Sigma men
by this score as was erroneously
stated in Tuesday morning’s Emer
ald.
seems to have a tight grip on his
blocking post at half. John Brown
ing, Marshfield speed-demon, may
nevertheless ^tand a chance of
beating him out.
A knee injury to Mel Engel, reg
ular Grenie left end, may necessi
tate the only change in the Duck
ling seven-man beef trust. Engel
stands more than a fifty-fifty
chance of starting with the first
string.
Two good men, Johnson and
Dinsmore, are available for end re
placements. Dinsmore, at the
present time, is being tried at
quarter, but may play either end
or quarter. The remainder of the

Sigma Alpha Epsilon humble the
Phi Delts, 15 to 8, in the first do
nut basketball games on the “B”
schedule.
Although being outscored in
field goals, the Betas took advan
tage of three gift throws on five
Phi Psi personals to give them the
one-point margin of victory. Don
Brooke, loser forward, whipped a
couple of goals into the hoop for
four marks, while Dave Morris of
the winners chalked up three
points on the board.
With an offensive combination
expected to give all the quints in
the "B” race quite a tussle, the A.
T. O. five ran off with the haliers,
allowing only one goal and one
free toss. Taking the laurels on
four goals, C. Erwin was closely
trailed by Art Dickson, former
Grant hoopster, Bob DeGraff, and
D. Anderson. Twelve A. T. O.
men, down to Howie Patterson,
saw action.
John Hogan, a forward, led the
S.A.E.’s to the Phi Delt defeat in
the 5:20 skirmish. From all an
gles Hogan swished home a total
of eight markers, while Fred Lew
alien and Doug Ward weren't en
tirely stingy with their talents. R.
Pickens was the most ambitious
Phi Delt, but Bill Crosbie crowded
him by scoring a nifty basket in
the last two hopeful minutes.

Mikulak Slings a Few
Words on Pro Grid
Competition in East
By CLAIR JOHNSON
Emerald Sports Editor
TRACKING around through the day’s mail we discovered a few
choice words from none other than Oregon's 1933 all-American
fullback, mighty Mike Mikulak. In answer to an espistle from this
writer the ex-Duck star tossed back a few words on how Bernie
Hughes, Bree Cuppoletti, and himself are getting
along in the pro game with the Chicago Cards.
* * * * i?
According to Mike the going isn’t much tougher
physically, but he finds the professional athletes have
their mental capacities developed slightly more than
collegiate grid players and consequently are a bit
faster with any action involving mental activity.
*****
Michael, in commenting on this, says, “The foot
ball they play in this league is certainly hard. The
boys are plenty smart too. J ney iina eacn piayer s
Mike Mikulak particular weakness and then make a play for him
according1 to this weakness. However, football is football, wherever you
play it—it’s all hard. This league is a lot smarter than college com
petition but it isn't a bit tougher.”
* * $ * *
He goes on to say that all three of them like every thing back east
and believe they arc doing all right in their profession. The Cards, he
explained, are a new team and as yet haven’t really clicked, losing three
and winning two games. The trouble seemed to be in pass defense, and
with that taken care of now, Mike has high hopes for a successful re
sult for the rest of their schedule, although they cannot win the cham
pionship.
The big boy is rather modest, about himself and mentions nothing
about how the eastern sports-writing brethern have been praising him,
as he continues, “The three of us are playing regularly so far. Bernie
lias beaten out a three year veteran, so you ean imagine what kind of
ball as is playing. Cupp is playing grand hall too and looks good.”
Possibilities of western fans getting another glimpse of their old
favorite received a boost when Mike said the three players hope to be
on the coast later in the year and may play some games out here.
Giving a little different shint to ideas most Web
foot partisans have about l’aul Sehissler, former
Oregon State mentor, and now their boss as coaeh
for the Cards, .Mike continues, “We sure like 1'aul
Schissler. He’s a real man, and a swell coach. Most
of the people in Oregon have him ‘doped’ entirely
wrong. He certainly has been treating us nicely anil
is very well liked around here.”
* * * * *
He also extended a hearty hello to all his other
friends hereabouts and regrets that the Lemon-Yellow
Varsity had to Jose the game with the University of
imtiiKiaiiiBiiiBii!
Paul Schisslcr Washington Huskies, as he wished them good luck for
the rest of the season.

Cross Country
Men to Sign Up
Says Managers Must Have
Teams Out for
Practice
Managers of houses, which have
not yet entered the intramural
cross-country race, are urged to
they desire to enter teams in com
petition.
As has already been announced,
there are nine compulsory work
outs necessary for entrants, which
must be completed before the race
is called. For the present, there
will be practices under the direc
tion of Russ Cutler, on Hayward
field, Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays at 4 p. m. Candidates who
wish to work out on other days
may do so, unsupervised.
The course has been laid out. It
measures exactly 2.5 miles in
length, traversing hills, trails and
dirt road. In the near future,
signs will be posted so there can
be no chance of runners losing
their course. Each runner has an
opportunity to learn the course
thoroughly. There will be no ex
cuse for leaving it and no advan
tage, as the route is planned along
shortest possible lines.
Wednesday, track men, sent out
by Hayward, will get tentative
time limits for the ace. Estimates
run between twelve and fifteen
minutes.
According to the cross-country
regulations, each house must en
ter and finish three men in the
race for intramural points.
Bill Hayward, varsity and frosh
track coach, is giving a trophy to
the winning organization.

Nine Webfoot Gridslers to

Tilt
With football slated to furnish
the thrills and excitement for
Homecoming weekend, Bunny
Oakes and his Montana Grizzlies
will march into the limelight Sat
urday afternoon when they line
up against the Oregon Webfoot
eleven on Hayward field.
Occupying the top spot in the
day’s program, the battle is to get
under way at 2 o’clock with dads
and grads looking on as honored
guests from specially reserved
seats.
Although still haunted with the
injuries which have held back the
squad all year, Prink Callison’s
men are still rated as favorites to
humble the visiting team without
too much, trouble.
Latest reports from the north
ern camp, however, indicate that
the Grizzlies are a better squad
this year than usual, and are roll
ing into Eugene aching to add an
other upset to the list established
already this year by smaller
schools over their favored oppon
ents.
The clash will mark the last ap
pearance as wearer's of Lemon
Yellow grid suits on home grounds
for nine men of the Oregon squad.
With co-captains, Butch Morse
and Bob Parke heading the names,
the list includes, Con Fury, center;
Roy Gagnon, guard; Alex Eagle
and Gardner Frye, tackles; Ralph
Terjeson, Maury Van Vliet, and
Pepper Pepelnjak, backs.
Geology Students
Take Field Trip
The more advanced students in

Willamette Valley Flood Control
Association and Professor Smith,
and an army engineer. The stu
