Journal Gives Fans
Bum Impressions of
Web foot Grid Eleven
Fans and sports writers in this
section of the country are always
kicking about the methods used by
the California news splashers in
their unfair ways of handling any
thing about the Webfoot athletic
teams. The southern gentlemen of
the press seem to take great de
light in hurling verbal barrages of
unpleasant things about the
Ducks. And anything good about
the teams they refuse to give
space to.
But topping anything the “I’m a
big man from the south” boys
have to say is the way in which
the sports page of the Oregon Sun
day Journal, in its best Oregon
State college publicity sheet man
ner, tried to give readers the im
pression the Beavers almost out
played the Webfoot gridders in the
tussle the two teams had Saturday
in Multnomah stadium.
The Ducks you will recall (that
is you will if you are not still too
dazed with rally train and victory
celebration memories) pulled the
Beavers tail around for a 9 to 6
victory. And they didn't just, pull
gently but had things pretty much
their own way most of the time -
of course they let the Orangemen
score in the last couple minutes to
ease their embarrassment but they
really had things all pro-Oregon
the rest of the time.
* * *
But not so according to the
Journal. Forgetting to figure in
the yards lost from scrimmage,
and including yards gained by
their last minute passing rush,
they manage to concoct an ar
rangement of figures which sup
posedly prove the losers outplayed
the winners. In nice headlines they
announce the Beavers made only
two yards less that the Ducks did.
* * *
Getting them straight on actual
yards gained from scrimmage it
might be gest to quote a few sta
tistics: Oregon backs carried the
bail 45 times, made 178 yards and
lost 27 for an average of 3.4 yards
per play. Oregon State backs car
ried the ball 42 times, made 121
yards and lost 46 for an average of
1.8 yards per play. Does that look
like the Orange eleven kept up
with the Lemon-Yellow ?
Of course where the Beavers did
lead was in their last minute flurry
of passes, when, with the contest
cinched, the Ducks let down and
didn’t keep up their good defensive
play of earlier in the game. But
taking the game as a whole
throughout, the Oregon squad out
classed and outplayed their oppon
ents, and without doubt were the
better team.
* * *
But so, admitting that Oregon
had the best team, someone asks,
"why?” About the best reason
why is because the boys apparently
began to realize blocking instead
of gentle shoving was necessary,
working together beat trying to
make newspaper headlines for in
dividual honor, and just naturally
throwing their cockiness away and
playing the good ball they are cap
able of was the best all around
method.
Now if every member of the
squad will just keep that in mind
and keep riding on with the idea
that any all-star aspirations any

Fred Funk Makes Score
In Armistice Tilt
Sturdy California Defense
Holds St. Mary’s
Goal Thrust

Associated Press Staff Writer
MEMORIAL COLISEUM, Los
Angeles, Nov. 12—(AP)—In a
major surprise of the Pacific coast
football season the University of
California at Los Angeles defeated
S. Mary’s college, 6 to 0 today.
A crowd of 40,000 Armistice day
celebrants sat under drab skies to
see a game as'dull as the weather,
in the first half, blossom into a
thrilling struggle in the second.
The winners took advantage of
a St. Mary’s fumble on the four
yard line in the third period, re
covered the ball and pushed over
the only touchdown of the contest
Led by two great guards, Wendell
Womble and Verdi Boyer, the
Bruins uncovered an amazing de
fensive game, kept the visitors
back in their own territory in the
first half and took the ball away
from them on the three-yard line
in the fourth period.
California's backs, too, put up a
great defensive exhibition, Chuck
Cheshire leading the onslaught
against 19 S. Mary’s passes so suc
cessfully that only six were com
pleted. Until the score in the third
period, the Uclans, too, were toss
ing the ball all over the field,
throwing 15 but connecting only
twice.
The third period opened with a
rush. There was a preliminary
skirmish by each team and then
Fred Funk punted to St, Mary's
four-yard line where Malcolm
Fiese fumbled. Womble, on top of
the play, grabbed the ball and the
Bruins were in scoring position.
Funk cracked into the line with
out gain, Ransom Livesay picked
up two yards and on the next try,
Funk went over right guard for
the touchdown. Captain Livesay
missed the kick for the extra point.
As the third period ended, Harry
Mattos, a sure-shooting passer,
tossed the ball to Jim Austin on
the St. Mary’s 43-yard line. Allen

PORTRAITS
. Editor's note: The following is another
m the series of articles by Bill Mclnturff
which are presenting the various members
Qt the 1934 Webfoot grid team.
ROSY GAGNON
Rosy Gagnon is only a line man
so maybe you have never heard of;
him. Yet he is a very important \
«uoj uaguuu
eug iu me l^em
on-Yellow line.
As football
coaches are very
fond of repeat
ing, it takes elev
en men to make
a team. Fans are
apt to see only
the backf ield
man carrying the
ball.
Roy is the surname recorded in
the family Bible, but the Webfoots
have dubbed the rugged 195 pound
cherub •‘Rosy." Gagnon is the only
veteran guard on this year's squad.
He has won two varsity letters and
is now playing his last year for
Oregon.
Backing up the lino has been the
heavy responsibility given Gagnon
this year. The veteran guard is
“filling Cuppoletti’s shoes.” Gag
non works in cooperation with
Ralph Terjeson, who also bolsters
the line.
In 1931 Callison had a freshman
team which cleaned up everything
on its platter by enormous victor
ies. Playing on that team were four {
Minnesota boys whom the very un-!
popular Doc Spears had induced]
to come to Oregon. Kotska. Clark
son, Bevan. and Gagnon were the 1
four Oregon freshmen who have
-ince become footballisticaily fam
dus. Kotska. Clarkson, and Bevan
returned east, while their team
mate who had made good “out
.vest" continued on with the Duck
squad and subsequently won two
varsity stripes.
Multnomah Arena Gladiator
Veteran Webfoot tackle, Alex iilagle, who sent the graiders of
Oregon and Oregon State into a frenzied battle after engaging in a
mor(;-or-less unavoidable feud of fisticuffs with Jack Brandis and
Tommy Swanson of the Beavers, during the thirty-eighth edition of the
historic “civil war.”
Muddy Ref Feature Game
By BILL McINTURFF
What started the fight ? Eagle
blames Brandis; Brandis blames
Eagle. Two men playing opposite
each other in the line, such as a
tackle and guard, almost invari
ably start a minor feud before the
game is over. Such was the case
of Oregon's Alex Eagle and Ore
gon State's Jack Brandis.
By accident one of them fouled
the other and the feud was on
Then, when they began discussing
each other’s ancestry between each
play, Mr. Brandis asked Mr. Eagle
if he would appreciate a sock on
the schnozzle. Alex replied favor
ably and Brandis swung. Beaver
halfback Tommy Swanson jumped
into action, followed by half of
both teams and it took the united
action of the other players plus
Prink Callison to quell the riot.
Eagle, Brandis, and Swanson were
sent to the showers.
This excitement was followed by
the ducknapping of two Oregon
mascots. Oregon’s rally committee
reclaimed one of the ducks from
the O.S.C. rooters section but the
other one, which was hidden be
tween the feet of an Oregon State
Beta sitting in the stands, must be
set down in history as an Oregon
martyr.
However, the true spirit of the
game was shown best on a pass
play attempted by Franklin: Butch
Morse tore into Red Franklin,
spilling him and sending the pas.;
off side. They both got up and
Captain Franklin gave Captain
Morse a friendly pat on the back.
The Oregon gridders had nothing
but praise for the sportsmanlike
Beaver ball toter.
Oregon's two injured, Bob Parke
and Budd Jones entered the game
together in the second half, to
demonstrate the quality of Bill
Hayward's harnesscraft. With an
average of eight yards per play,
Bob Parke led the Duck backfield
men. On his first kick, Smokey Joe
sent the ball sailing over the
amazed Franklin's head.
Oregon's first score came when
Lamp Walker blocked Franklin's
punt and fell on the ball. The next
play Oregon fumbled and there
was a big pile-up. The players were
pulled of one by one and the ref
eree, a bruised and muddy -peei
■i.fcu waa found at La bottom, ct
the pile clutching the ball. How
ever credit for recovering' the fum
ble was given to Oregon.
On the next play Maury Van
Vliet was tackled so hard off side
that he could only lay there groan
ing. At that time Oregon’s chances
of victory seemed very slight. But
the expert massaging hands of
Colonel Bill Hayward brought the
wiry carrot top around all right.
*
Ralph Terjeson got a tough
break in the game. He was only
called upon to carry the ball once
in the entire game and the the
Beaver tacklers sifted through the
Duck line like a sieve and downed)
“Round-up” for a 3Vs yard loss.
Terjy’s blocking was one of the
main factors in the Oregon victory.
He cut the O.S.C. backfield men
down like daffodils.
The cruncher worked ond how
On one occasion Michek plowed
through the Beaver backfield alone
for 23 yards. Incidentally Frank,
excepting Parke, turned in the best
average of the regular ball toters,
both in the Oregon and Oregon
.State backfields.
* * *
Two plays that worked to per
fection for the Ducks were Morse’s
end around play, which netted 24
yards and Parke’s reverse. Coach
Lon Stiner pulled a good one out
of the bag, too. On a fake punt.
Red Franklin drew in the charg
ing Oregon line men, then circled
end for 11 yards.

Yesterday Easy
By CLAIR JOHNSON
Peppy and cheerful after their
victory Saturday when they
showed the stop signs to all
American Red Franklin, while
humbling the Redhead and hi3
Beaver teammates by a 9 to S
score, the Oregon Webfoot grid
ders pranced through a light prac
tice session yesterday morning.
Outgaining their opponents in
every department of the game ex
cept a last minute flurry of passes,
the Ducks scored the victory over
their traditional opponents without
a single addition to the casualty
list.
Ail possibilities that Johnny
Reischman had sufered a broken
shoulder were cleared up when Bill
Hayward came out of an X-ray
session with the former St. Mar
tin’s lad to cheerfully announce
nothing wrong with the injured
shoulder but a few bruises.

On paper Sigma Nu figures to
walk away with the didminutive

Neither Delta Upsilon nor the

strength in offense or defense and
their set-to should be nearly even
