Utah Grid Squad, 32 Strong, to Arrive on Noon Train Sport Quacks By Torn McCall 1935 Frosh Football Crow Has Craftiness, Power, Speed to Win WHEN the Utes from Salt Lake City set up their teepees in Eu gene tomorrow their accompanying war dance will be tinged with ex tra enthusiasm and joy, for the “archest” and most potent enemy among all the Webfoots on whose skull Indian ever dulled the tribal scalping tools, will not be in the line-up. Even though he will not be on the field of play tomorrow, or the rest of the season, Utah still remember Walter “Blacky” Back. And well they should. He played the leading role in the 8 to 7 wig wam burning staged in the Mormon capital last year. He crashed and shredded Utah’s line when every other Oregon back was felled in his tracks. He tackled and blocked with such bulldoggedness that he won the acclaim of the score of thou sands in the stadium and all tire sports writers of the west. But that is history. “Blacky” may never have a chance to make football history again. He will be operated on next Tuesday in an at tempt to remove a dangerous bone growth from the vicinity of the calf of his leg. Dr. Dillehunt will write the boy’s gridiron future with the point of his scalpel. The opera tion usually keeps the patient in bed for a couple of weeks. Quoth Back, when told that he would be in the big white joint on and past the 12th of October (the date of the Cal contest) “Ole wheel chair, I guess you and me are going to the ball-game.” Towering Vincent Walker will be on hand Saturday for the first time in two weeks. Although a back injury will bar him from regular play, there will probably be a little goal-kicking work for his unerring right pedal extremity. Incidentally, “Lamp” will put plenty on the line in favor of the Detroit Tigers. Keason: Cousin Gerald patrols one of the outer gardens for the Ameri can league champs. * * * That was a pretty fair sounding line I gave you yesterday, mates, but save the glows of pride until you hear of the squad of speedy hefties that they’ll clear the road to the goal line for. (And what a well traveled highway that will be, too.) A lovely foursome of ball carriers that Frosh Coach Warren could put on the field would contain Jef& Le Cou at fullback, Jimmy Nicholson and Tom Blackman, halves, and Bobby Anet, quarter back. LeCou did enough ball playing in San Francisco to earn all-city honors in 1933 and 1934. He has all the power, but none of the cunning, of a wild bull. Nicholson and Black man, from Salem and Walla Walla, respectively, can whip the pigskin long and accurately with hand or foot, and each runs on twin wands of magic. Anet is a fast and foxy Astorian. If Honest John didn't happen to feel like starting any of those four he might put in their places, with out diminishing backfield strength, Dave Gammon, Benson Tech’s all state half; Keith Cruikshank, Hon olulu wonder; Eugene high's own Ernie Robertson, or a half dozen of near equal ability. It’s impossible to tell you of every prize now, but, believe me, the power, the speed, and the cunning are all incorporated in this great first year group. They’ll crack the Sons wide open, pick the bones of the young Huskies and the Rooks. That v,ill be great stuff, but there is one thing that I wish they would have a chance to do, namely, hog spavin, wind and spirit break, lame and distemperize the wooden colt of Troy. There could be nothing better in the future than for an Oregon team to go up against El Trojan with little shreds of timber between its teeth. Oh, why can not nations put into the enterprise of peace the energy they are prepared to squander in the futility and frightfulness of war? Eamonn De Valera, presi dent, Irish Free State. Utes Anxious To Count Win Over Webfeet Callison Drives Ducks As Intersectional Combat Nears Redskin Aggregation Rated ‘Tops’ in Rockies The University of Utah’s mighty Utes arrive in Eugene at noon to day, in time for a final practice session on Hayward field in prepar ation for their important inter sectional game with Oregon’s Web foots here Saturday. Coach Ike Armstrong and his blood-thirsty Redskins, 32 strong, “hot” for Prink Callison’s scalp, left Salt Lake City Wednesday night and worked out in Boise yes terday. Rocky mountain critics rate Utah even stronger than last year, when the Webfoots were lucky to edge them out, 8 to 7, at Salt Lake, so Prink Callison, Oregon mentor, is expecting one of the season’s most bitter struggles. Webfoots Driven Hard With kick-off time drawing near er and nearer, Callison has been driving the Lemon and Yellow play-1 ers through strenuous workouts on Hayward field and adjoining turfs all week. Heavy scrimmage was in order until last night, when Prink put the Webfoots through lighter paces. Most of the men are in A-l condition. Virtually the same lineup which took the field against Gonzaga in Multnomah Stadium last week is siatea to start tor uregon Satur day. John Engstrom, 191-pound transfer right tackle, is the only member of last week’s starting eleven with a possiblity of watch ing the kickoff from the bench. Engstrom on Sick List Engstrom is suffering from in juries which may keep him out of action, but in all likelihood he will be on deck. In the event he is un able to start, either Pat Fury, brother of Con Fury, last year’s regular center, or Kenyon Skin ner, 214-pound sophomore, will at tempt to fill his shoes. The remainder of the Webfoot forward wall is, barring injury, certain to line up just as it did for the Gonzaga tussle. Stan Riordan and Budd Jones, a pair of experi enced veterans, will open at the end positions, with Del Bjork, the big Astoria boy who turned in such an outstanding performance last week, booked for left tackle. Ross Carter and Clarence Codding, both regulars last fail, are the first string guards, while center will be handled by Ed Farrar, understudy to Fury in 1934. Vincent “Lamp” Walker, letter man end, is the lone Webfoot ath lete definitely out of the Utah en counter. Walker is on the sidelines with a back injury and will not don a suit until next week. With Walker out of the fray, Lief Jacobson and A1 Wilson are the wingmen most likely to see service should Riordan or Jones require relief. Bud Goodin, sophomore pass heaving hero of the Gonzaga game, will open at left half for the Web foots. Callison has had Goodin toss ing the pigskin all over the field in practice this week and he is ex pected to be on the firing end of ground-gaining aerial maneuvers against Utah. Johnny Reischman, smashing veteran quarterback, will work in his usual position, while Bob Brad dock, transfer from Oregon Nor mal, is to open at right half. At full back will be Frank Michek, famed Scappoose limited, successor to Mike Mikulak. Michek bears the brunt of attack on Callison’s “cruncher play” and on the new "double cruncher.” r Gridiron Greats ith the pigskin season in full swing these five gridders will rage ap and down gridirons in various sections of the country this Saturday. Left is Bert (Man o’VVar) Johnson, Kentucky’s great halfback who leads the fighting Colonels against Ohio State’s powerful Big Ten team at Columbus. Center, stepping high, wide, and handsome, is Shelley Burt, Southern Methodist back of whom Tulsa probably will see too much oh its home turf. Wayne Millner, Notre Dame end, lower left center, probably will give Carnegie Tech’s barks a bad afternoon at Pittsburgh, while Halfback Harry Montgomery, lower right center leads North Carolina up against a tough one in Tennessee at Knoxville. Right, Kd Nowogroski, University of Washington fullback, shows how he’ll look at Santa Clara when the two west coast teams tangle in Seattle. Yeomen Prepare For Independent Sports Campaign Unattached Students Urged To Turn Out The thought of bettering last year's second place finish in intra mural sports lurks in the minds of independents this week, as ath letic managers whip into shape the first teams for the annual campus wide competition. “New and bet ter athletes will this year push the Yeomen over the top,” said Fred Gieseke, president of the indepen dent organization, last night. Gieseke urged all unaffiliated men, whether or not athletically talented, to purchase Yeomen membership cards and take part in try-outs which this year will be held before selecting the final team for any sport. Managers for fall term sports will be announced and soon, he said. Brittain Ash, vice-president of ■the organization, is athletic direc tor and expects to choose his as sistants soon. The Yeomen will be represented at the meeting today which will decide whether or not to include touch football in the fall schedule. Freshmen Stage Hard Drill Under Driving Mentor Drive, drive, drive! no place for quitters on John Warren's football squad which seems to be one of the best frosh football machines ever developed at the University of Oregon With so many football candidates trying to make the frosh team Warren has been swamped with work and could not give his attention to everyone; Howard Hobson has been taking oyer the duties of the backfield for the last few days and will continue . ■" 1 ■" 11.. 1 —■■““■■il use PITTSBURGH Paints — Varnishes — Enamels — Kalsowiue for fixing up your house.

The first frosh game will be with SONS October 12. Warren is the first one to see the type of player he is by playing opposite of the line from him. Warren is one of the hardest driv ing coaches ever seen around these parts, but he is always in the midst of the “dirty” work himself. Alvin Meyer of Ritzville, Wash ington, seems to be an unusually fine center and will be right out in front when freshman football com petition starts against SONS at Medford. Blackman, Buroker, Cruick shank, and Nicholson make up a kicking staff that would equal that, of many a varsity football team. Little Willard Caspell of Astoria, who weighs a mere 135 but has just as much ability as some of the 200 pounders on the squad will also see plenty of action this season. Bobby Anet is one of the most promising candidates for half-back on the squad. Peters and Chrisman are two tackles that will cause any opposing team plenty of trouble when the going gets rough. At the guard positions are Govanini, Muser, Niemi, and Stevens. The ends are fulfilled with Yerby, all city man from Fortland, Robertson, Nilsen, and Hinman, all state end.
