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.

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

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.

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;

the last few days and will continue

ma
to do so until the squad will be cut
down to a size that Warren can
handle. 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.
