UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1934 V Duck Tracks By CLAIR JOHNSON Emerald Sports Editor Coach Has Premature Explosion; It’s Donut Sportsmanship Again npHE ballyhooey has got under way—it's off to a banging start. What ballyhoo ? — The all-star seiecuuns. Who started it? — Bill "old timer” Spaulding. * * * It happened yesterday. The U. C.L.A. coach had his annual pre mature explosion and when the pieces were picked up they BilU Spaulding fitted into a dia gram of an all-coast football eleven named by Mr. Spaulding, who makes a yearly practice of pick ing his stars before anyone else starts and also makes sure to name a few of the Uclans whether they deserve it or not. * * * Here is what the former Minne > sota grid mentor had to offer as he named Bobby Grayson, Card full • back, and Verdi Boyer, Bruin guard, as the only two possible considerations for all-American ratings. * * * First Team LE—Morse, Oregon. LT—Reynolds, Stanford. LG—Mucha, aWshington. C—Saunders, Loyola. RG—Boyer, U.C.L.A. RT—Theodoratqs, W.S.C. RE—Moscrip, Stanford. QB—Williams, California. LH—Hamilton, Stanford. RH—Cheshire, U.C.L.A. FB—Grayson, Stanford. * • * On his second team the Spauld ing names Eddlitz, St. Mary’s and Jones, Cal as ends; Ullin, Wash ington, and Harper, U.S.C. tackles; Stojak and Hayduk, both W.S.C., guards; Siemmering, S. F. U. cen ^ ter; Franklin, O.S.C. quarter; So brei-o, Santa Clara and Nichelini, St. Marys halves; and Sulkosky, Washingto, fullback. No use picking Bill’s selections to pieces because plenty of others will do that, but we would like to kick about not seeing any Webfoot faces on the second squad at least, especially with Franklin and Sul kosky, both on the bench with in juries a fair part of the time, rat ing the positions. * * * And who ever heard of Saund ers ? Anyhow we’ll wager that by the time the end of the season roils around the all-star elevens picked by some of the more expert select ors will be a good deal different from friend Bill’s. * * * Apparently the complimentary ^ remarks made in this column yes terday concerning the excellent sportsmanship displayed by the Chi Psi and Sigma Chi intramural hoop teams were misconstrued by certain parties. * ■* * .The statements made were not intended as compliments for one group and ‘slaps in the face’ for the other. The sole purpose of the remarks was to compliment both teams upon the speedy arrange ments they made for settling any possible protest-forfeit mixup. * * * The revised story of what hap (Please turn to page 4) YeomanTeam For"A” Group Independents Down DU Team 33-0 Gamma Hallers Overcome Delta Tau Delta 12-0 TODAY’S "A" SCHEDULE 4:00—Sigma hall vs. La Casa Filipina. 4:40—Chi Psi vs. Pi Kappa Alpha. 5:20—Sigma Alpha Epsilon vs. Phi Sigma Kappa. With five six-foot stalwarts forming their speedy passing at tack and defensive net, the Yeo men claimed undisputed leadership of league two in the. “A” basket ball division today after trouncing Delta Upsilon yesterday, 33 to 0, in the opening donut skirmish. Besides checking the play of the D. U. hocpsters, Panther Mcln turff, Ned Gee, Dave Silven. Bill Temple, and two Gerald Smiths, perfectly, the independent casaba chasers followed and played the ball nigh to perfection, committing cnly one four, that by Bob Austin, Austin. High Point Man Center Bob Austin, Guard Char ley Spencer, and Forward Ingram Kjossness found the hoop repeated ly with set-up shots. Austin tallied 12 markers, Spencer 9, and Kjoss ness 6. Players The dormitory men come to new life today, chalking up a couple of fourth-quarter victories over the Delts and the Kappa Sigs. Delta Tau Delta was blasted by the fighting Gamma haliers, 12 to 10, after trailing throughout. With a 9 to 5 margin at the be ginning of the fourth canto the ftelts led by Dale Lasselle, flashy Frosh gridder, sank into oblivion as A1 Long headed the Gamma five into a belated really, which saw them dangle the hemp with seven points. A1 Long Leads in Win A1 himself threw in two long ones to deadlock the engagement at 9-all. One a free throw, he sank another, edging out ahead, 10 to 9. But Jap Scruggs, stocky Delt for ward evened the count by sinking his foul toss after a hall technical foul. Warfare was on even terms in the last minute until John Bracher, another Frosh footballer, rung in a fancy basket for the 12 to 10 point edge that finally meant the game. Omega hall snuggled in behind the Betas in the three “A” league, when it hung up a drag-’em-out triumph over the Kappa Sigs, 13 to 11, at 5:20. Gibson Barrage Decides Dorm forward, roley-poley John Gibson placed his monicker on the sheet of leading scorers with a wel come barrage of scores, two of which went by the hoop with but a few seconds to go in the last stanza. Doc Hoblitt, front man for the Kappa Sigs, barely missed a long shot as the final whistle tooted. A1 Carter was the losers’ point-! garnering expert with four tallies.

FLASHES BACK IN SPORTS 5, 10, and 15 Years Ago Today 1929—NEPTUNE IS ELECTED, B’GOSH! At the W.A.D. mass meeting yesterday, Clare Maer tens, freshman in physical educa tion, was elected head of swim ming in the place of Alberta Rives, who resigned because of other ac tivities. 1924—THIS TOTALS THIRTY ONE, BUT THEY PLAYED TWO GAMES IN 1896—In 30 years, State has taken eight games, total ing 97 points. The Lemon-Yellows have captured 17 with a total of 276. There have been two ties and four no score contests. 1919 — AND INTRAMURALS WENT ON AND ON; WHAT THEY CALL A TRADITION, WHAT? Four games will feature the opening of the Donut league basketball season at the men's gym at four o’clock Monday after noon. Cups Are Offered For Health Week The prizes for national health week, November 19-23, competi tions sponsored by the women's physical education program are now on display in the Co-op win dow. One of the pictures entered in the health-poster contest is also shown. The Seller swimming cup is one of the prizes. It was won by Susan Campbell hall in 1923, Gamma Phi Beta in 1924, Susan Campbell hall again in. 1925, Kappa Alpha Theta in 1933, and Susan Campbell hall in 1934. The Alden cup is an award which was first won by Chi Delta in 1930, then by Alpha Phi in 1931, by Delta Zeta in both 1932 and 1933. Alpha Omicron Pi won the new all-spotts plaque in 1934. The winner of the poster contest will receive a month's free admis sion to the McDonald theater. Pi Delta Phi Sponsors Lecture on Indo-China Pi Delta Phi, national French lonorary, is sponsoring a lecture oy the Count de Suzannet, at 4 o'clock, Friday, November 23. He will talk on French Indo-China, il- ' lustrating the lecture with lantern slides. All students of French, and Dther persons interested in hearing the talk, which will be in French, are invited to attend. Co-Ed Amazons Amaze Reporter By Grid Skill HaymirdGwes Prize to First Place Runner Leading Harrier Gets Turkey Award Different Scoring System Is Inaugurated For Meet As an added incentive for vic tory, in Friday’s intramural cross country meet, Colonel Bill Hay ward, athletic trainer, will present a turkey to the runner crossing the line first in the coming harrier race. The turkey is the second prize of fered by Hayward, who is track coach at Oregon. “Doc” has also donated the trophy which will be presented to the organization scoring the highest number of points in the race. This trophy will be a perpetual award, the winning group each fall keeping the prize in its possession for one year. Any organization winning the meet three times, however, will be awarded permanent possession of the trophy. The entry list for the race will probably see approximately forty runners starting the two-mile grind. Forty-five athletes have signed up for the race but several of the number have failed to fill their entrance requirements as yet and are ineligible to compete. To prevent runners from invol untarily straying from the course of the race and to keep racers from purposely cutting off the main lane, watchers will be stationed at. various points on the course to di rect the harriers. To eliminate traffic interference, either physical education students or Eugene policemen will be placed at the main intersections to regu late traffic. In this year's tourney the meet officials will use a system of scor ing entirely different from any method formerly employed i n cross-country matches. Unlike former occasions, the team repre sented by the victorious racer will not win the race. Instead, the group which earns the highest number of points will be awarded the championship trophy. The following method will be used to determine individual scores: the first man to finish will be awarded as many points as there are participants in the race. Thereupon, each successive finish er will receive one less marker than the runner who preceeded him (i.e. should there be forty men entered in the race the winner will receive forty points; runner-up, thirty-nine; third man, thirty eight; etc.) Individual scores will then be added together and the organiza tion whose representatives have the highest aggregate score will be acclaimed the winner. The win ning group will be awarded 75 markers towards their all-year total of points in intramural com petition. Any organization represented by three runners who finish the race in any position within the time limit, to be determined soon, will be given 30 points. Point awards for other places will be decided in the following manner: the total of individual points scored by a group will be used as the numerator and the number scored by the meet win ners as the denominator; this fraction will then be multiplied by ! forty-five and the result will be the number of points awarded to that group. TWO US' INFIRMARY Leota Rietz has been admitted to the infirmary making only two on the list now. The other patient ia Fred Anderson, 4 One of the most unique grid bat tles in the annals of football his tory was witnessed by the Prowl ing Reporter on "Gerlinger” field yesterday afternoon. Plunging, passing, punting, and pigskin-tot ing—two teams of Oregon coeds gave an exhibition of powerhouse football that made your correspon dent’s eyes pop. Stage Civil War Evidently this girls’ gym class was holding a post mortem of the recent Oregon-Oregon State game. On the long golden tresses of one behemoth center perched a jaunty green-and-yellow Oregon rooter’s lid. The veteran playing the op posing center, who must have tipped the Fairbanks at a neat 206, by means of a hair pin had fixed an orange-and-black O.S.C. root er’s lid on her head. Luckily the Prowling Reporter arrived in time for the starting kick-off of the sensational co-ed "foot-ballet” game. Captain Mary of the Lemon-Yellow sent the ball spinning in a beautiful long arc 7 yards into the hands of the Or- I ange safety. Theoretically the game was “touch tackle,” but the foot ball ferns willingly let many of the rules go by the board. Rain Fails to Dampen Spirits A heavy rain which soon drenched “Gerlinger” field did not dampen the spirits of the co-eds in the least. The Amazon tilt was filled with thrills, spills (and frills) throughout. An outstanding fea ture of the game was the amount of yardage both teams lost from overtime in the huddle. When the girls started, talking together they just couldn’t stop. Longest run of the day was in the stocking of the Lemon-Yellow right halfback. "Cruncher” Jane Outstanding The game ended with "Cruncher” Jane, juggernaut six-footer “skirt St. Mar^s Threat A1 Michelini, halt lwr St. Mary’s who Is anticipated as a severe threat to Oregon’s offensive in San Francisco on Thanksgiving. ing” left end for a 14 yard loss. Both teams claimed a moral vic tory and agreed to end the grudge fight today at 4:00 on “Gerlinger” field. •Cruncher” Jane played a fine game is being mentioned for Pa cific Mae West or possibly All Amazon honors. She is a transfer from Vassar, where she captained the boxing team. Captain Mary, or Big Bertha as she is known to her team mates, was the outstand ing ground loser for the Lemon Yellow. She hails from Mills Col lege in Berkeley. Statistics give a fine insight of the game. The Oregon Amazons averaged 6.34 yards on punts as compared to the Beaverette’s 9 first downs gained from penalties, Oregon gained —67 yards from scrimmage and lost about the same on passes. > | Every Day Is Dunker s Day at the COLLEGE SIDE If you are one of those who grab your breakfast on the run, you will find no better coffee and, any place on the campus for 10c.
