^ ^ day about the recent trip east
over the mountains to visit the
.■'Utah Redskins, kind of left things
all up in the air at the finish with
| a hotel full of Webfoot gridmen and
f a state teacher's convention all
; mixed up.
After worrying a little more
than somewhat about what hap
pened to a few of the lads like
“Playboy" Parke, Ed Farrar, et
al, it seemed the proper thing to
do was to investigate the matter
and find out how the Duck gentle
men made out.
Waves of relief draped over our j
| shoulders when final information
i revealed that all the boys were up
to sweet little tricks like hanging
around the elevators and always
managing to have to go either up
or down, according to which way
' the feminine teachers were prom
enading.

Other items revealed by Mr.
Simpson included the interest the
eleven showed to a certain cake
which Ralph Tergeson’s mother
presented to them on the swing
back through Pendleton; and also
the intense delight among the
! team members in getting back to
dear old 8 o’clock classes again.
the announcement that Spocyl
Lopez will play in the Grizzly con
test seems to be meeting with
general railbird comments of dis
approval mostly based on what the
dopers heard over the ether the
other day from Salt Lake. Mush
ing aroud gathering comment
from the players, however, reveals
that the speedy Californian really
did play a fine game and that such
criticisms are not at all justified.
Of course the plans to use the
reserves for most of the battle is
not meeting with very many cries

Eight times the ball dented the
Phi Delta Theta hemp yesterday
at the men’s gym, and the defend
ing titlists, Beta Theta Pi, for the
second time this year rode home
on a crest of victory, this time to
keep their water poio crown by a
7 to 0 score.
Wally Hug started the fireworks
with a long toss into the west
goal, afterwards satisfying himself
by admiring the throws of Chuck
Reed which hit their mark three
times in succession in the opening
half. Ralph Cathey scored another
and W. Gill batted in the sixth
point of Goalie McCall’s throw out.
Losers Tighten
In the second half the Phi Delt
defense buckled down and faced
the champs on even terms. Reed
was the only man to slip one past
the guards, and his shot was count
ed in the last few seconds.
Throughout the water polo sea
son not one goal has been scored
through the airtight Beta defense
of Goalkeeper Ken Mayer, Guards
W. Gill and B. Shumake, and
Chuck Reed, center back. In the
meantime the titlists hit the enemy
for a total of 23 markers in four
contests.
With an aggregate 150 points
won by taking championships in
swimming and water polo the Be
tas have opened a successful drive
to cop the all-year title, which
they annexed in the 1933-34 donut
race by nosing out the indepen

of satisfaction anywhere because
the local fans would really like to
get a glimpse of their favorite
regulars in action on the home
field.

However these rooters must re
member the unusually small squad
this year and that the men who
have played regularly every game
need the rest badly in preparation
for the Oregon State clash.
Too, even though they are not
starting, these men will most like
ly work in long enough for the
fans to at least watch them
awhile.

Also some of the fans who are
kicking about not seeing enough of
the boys in action might drop their
howling spell and wander up to
the field and get a glimpse of the
nightly scrimmage sessions going
on. Here, too, they will find the
regular men not working though,
because it would be too much of
an extra load, but they will cer
tainly see plenty of real smack-em

Although it is open to the whole

PORTRAITS
Editor’s note: The following is another
in the scries of articles by Bill MclnturfT
which are presenting the various members
oi the 1934 Webfoot grid team.
CON FURY
Half of Sand Point’s contribu
tion to the 1934 Green and Yellow
grid squad is Con Fury, one-stripe
letterman center. Sand Point, it
might be explained, is an Idaho
metropolis in the “panhandle” dis
trict. At Sand Point high school
Con, and his brother Pat, acquired
I he fundamental football training.
Con was Idaho all-state tackle for
two years.
The Fury Bros., however, are
not natives of the Potato state.
Mayor, Arizona wherever that
may be—is their birthplace.
In bis first two years at Oregon
Con was changed from a tackle to
a guard. Last season he won
enough pia>ing time substituting
for Dutch Clark to win his letter.
This year the Oregon squad felt a
eenter shortage and Callison shift
ed the 192-pound hoy to the mid
line position.
Fury has taken some time in
adapting himself to the very dif
ferent center post. His passing is
still improving. The center has
one of the most difficult jobs on
the team. On the offense when
all players are driving as hard as
possible, he must have perfect
muscle control. He must lob the
ball back to the runner and then
block out the opposing linemen. A
successful punt is 50 per cent due
to the way in which the ball is re
ceived by the punter from the cen
ter. An ‘'ankle” pass from center
usually results in the punt's being
blocked.
Like Bernie Hughes, his prede
cessor, Fury is playing almost the
ful 430 minutes of each game. So far
this season he has not been
"cracked up” seriously. This is his
third and last year with the Ore
gon gridder:.
Varsity Hoopsters Mingle
Play With Regular Work
A synthetic form of ring
around-a-rosy is the latest past
time of the 1935 Oregon varsity
basketball squad. The Emerald
sport staff’s Prowling Reporter en •
tered upon the Tgloo floor only to
be stricken by this ghastly scene:
skyscraper Willie Jones, bristle
coif feureci Bill Be.rg, dark skinned
Ron Guemmel, grinning Sam Lie
bowitz, Rollie Rouke, John Lewis,
and Glenn Sanford stood in a circle
and shouted with glee as they at
tempted to keep the ball away
from the worried Kennedy in the
middle. Coach Ricnhart looked on
with good natured tolerance at
“his boys.’’
The ‘easaba corps' little work
out was not as juvenile as it seems.
Reinhart has been concentrating
upon perfected passing in these
I first weeks of preparatory pract
ice and this “keep-away’’ game is
designed for just that.
This particular routine is one
that Chuck Taylor, professional
basketball star, left behind him
when he held his “basketball clin
ic" last month. Other of Taylor's
ideas may be incorporated in the
Webfoot work-outs alter in the
season.
High point of the evening's dizzy
melee occurred when big Sam
"I'm for New York” Liebowitz be
came "it” and ran amuck in his
wij^l endeavors to flatten the bas
ketball. He soon had his team
mates laughing so hard that they
were unable to control the ball and
Sam ended his term in the middle
of tiie circle on a technical foul.
“The one unstoppable play is
horse play.” Coach Rienhart rea
lizes this and is wisely interspers
ing the long varsity practice gruel
until January with relief sessions
such as this, which combine prac
tical basketball with fun.
The eight men mentioned at the
.beginning of this article comprise
the tenative first squad. However
two men from the frosh squad last
year, John Mullen and Duke Hard
is't.y, have been showing very well
in practice and may soon take a
place among the regulars.

of the 20 winning marks, while

the haliers to a mere three points.

Combination
Last night in a blinding swirl of
multi-colored autumn leaves, Ore
gon’s yellow jerseyed warriors
prepared to do battle with the in
vading Montana gridders on Dad’s
day. The 50 mile gale blowing
across Hayward field gave the
Lemon-Yellow added vigor and in
the dummy plays they swept
through everything lik» clock
work.
It is probable that there will be
several alterations in Saturday's
lineup. Regulars who have played
such a succession of major games
this season that are in danger of
becoming stale, will not be called
upon to start the game with the
Grizzlies. Since the Montana team
has been rated as none too dan
gerous this year, Prink Catlison
plans to make extensive use of his
second string material and to give
the players who have “benched”
(he entire season a chance to show
their wares.
Simpson to Kick
Ned Simpson and Stan Riordan
presided at the ends of the line
last night and seemed pointed to
ward a place on Saturday’s start
ing list. Both have had previous
experience and can be depended
upon to box in any play around
the wings. Undoubtedly Simpson
will do Oregon's place kicking in
the Grizzly scrimmage.
Meanwhile backfield Coach John
ny Kitzmiller has concocted an en
tirely new backfield combination.

1929—FEELERS. A good many
second-string men will probably
be thrown into the Ucla game Sat
urday to feel out the Cal. men's
strength, if everything looks O. K.,
it is anticipated that a large part
of the squad will have chances at

1924—EXCITING. Class teams
for girls’ volleyball have been
picked. According to Miss Ruth
Shelley, head of volleyball, it is ex
pected that the games will be ex
citing.
Maury Van Vliet—“Thunder” and
“Lightning”—as a nucleus, John
ny plans to add Hugh McCredie
and either Johnny Reischman or
'“Tenor” Lopez. This comparative
ly light back field is expected to
run circles around the dazzled
Grizzlies. End runs, passes, cut
backs, broken field running—Ore
gon hopes to give the tricky Mon
tana team a taste of their own
medicine.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies, all un
aware of the fate being prepared
for them, are determined to claw
one more coast conference team be
fore “holing in" for the winter hi
bernation. Growlings from their
Missoula den seem to indicate
that, although they realize them
selves the underdogs, (or rather,
underbruins), the Montana bears
still hope for a Duck dinner.
TAYLOR TO GIVE EXAMS
H. R. Taylor, head of the psy
chology department, received word
from Stanford college that he is to
be in charge of giving the Stanford
aptitude tests on this campus.
These setts are for both college
students and high school seniors
who desire entrance into Stanford
and will be given some time in
March. Taylor has been giving
these tests for the last seven or
eight years.
