By Tom McCall
John Warren really had some
thing to show the good people of
Astoria last Saturday when he re
turned to the place where he got
his coaching start. The even
green turf of Argo field had never
before felt the weight of so many
cleated luminaries. All-staters, all
citys, all-American potentials, all
were there; all performed with a
great deal of zest . . . An appre
ciative audience bulged the stands.
Numbered among its members
were certain of the sporting gen
try, a class characterized by its en
thusiastic skepticism. They’d
heard tell of the fiery, talented
first year squad at the U. They’d
heard tell of lots of other fresh
man teams that were wonders, and
they’d seen them folded, as if by
Arabs.
A friend of mine sat near the
racy skeptics and heard their talk
shift to the other side of their fac
es with a crunch . . . The oval had
suddenly come onto Oregon’s pos
session. The advantage of weight
and untried fire over experience
made its appearance as they drove
methodically up the field . . From
their 26-yard line they cycled with
Jimmy Nicholson doing the speed
work, Dave Gammon doing the
plowing, and Bobby Anet doing
the planning ... In the babble
that inevitably ensues between a
touchdown and the lining up for
the next kickoff, skeptic number
one was beginning to warm to the
visitors from Eugene. Skeptics
number two and three were dour
but thawing . . .
^ *1* ■!■
Later . . . The fourth part of the
fourth quarter, to be exact, and
the score tied with a dozen points
divided evenly between the Oregon
Normal Wolves and the Frosh . . .
Chuck Stevens, who along with
Harold Niemi and Anet were play
ing on home grounds, joined with
Bob Hinman, Doc Taylor, Peters,
Yerby and other line mates in cre
ating several charming gaps in
the forward wall of the straining
Wolves. Through these forcefully
molded aisles wended, goalward,
the aforementioned Nicholsen and
others of a near equal calibre. (My
friend says that then they looked
like an unstoppable, perfectly
coached force as they parted great
hunks of the enemy’s line, each
man carrying out his assignment
to the letter.) Shortly after the
Frosh had run out of yard stripes
to carry the ball over, the gun
sounded. i*
What a yammering ot plaudits
came from the erstwhile skeptics
as they filed from the stands.
You’re probably tired of hearing
what my friend said, but he tried
to venture the opinion that at
times the frosh tackling and block
was by no means perfect . . . He
was nearly drawn and quartered
by the converts . . .
(From this you are supposed to
gather that our yearlings can con
duct themselves on the gridiron
with a great deal of elan. They
are really a flashy team to witness
in action, but what a long time it
took me to tell it.)
* * *
There has been much small talk
about the Washington State Cou
gars having not, until last Satur
day, lost a game on the home grid
iron for some nine or ten autumns.
Small talk grew and so did our
couriosity... We just couldn’t re
member when the Oregon team
had lost a game on Hayward field.
We checked up and nearly went
over Jordan from the shock of the
findings . . . The University of
Oregon has not lost a varsity game
on Hayward field since Stanford
trimmed them in the vicinity of
1928. Since then they have carried
off 24 straight victories on the lo
cal holdings.

Add insult to injury by conning
the following from the Daily Cali
I Bruins Next

Oregon Ducks
Webfoots Go South
For U.C.L.A. Game
Oregon’s battered Webfoots,
still nursing an outside chance at
Pacific Coast conference honors
and a crack at the Rose Bow!
game, yesterday opened three days
of intensive practice in prepara
tion for what undoubtedly will be
one of their hardest battles of the
season, the UCLA game in Los
Angeles.
Outplayed by a fighting Idaho
team on Hayward field Saturday,
the Webfoots nevertheless tucked
away a 14-0 victory over the val
iant Vandals and brought then
conference standing to the .500
mark, with one win and one loss.
UCLA, conqueror of Stanford, is
rated the “team to beat” by many
critics, so a triumph over the
Uclans will lift Prink Callison and
his Ducks right into the gridiron
limelight.
The Webfoots will entrain for
Los Angeles late Wednesday night,
arriving in time for a brief work
out Friday. Thus Callison has but
two more days in which to drill
the team on Bruin plays and on
the weaknesses shown in the
Idaho tussle. Three full elevens
will be taken south.
Ducks Not Seriously Hurt
The reserves did the brunt of
last night’s work, with the regu
lars taking it easy after the
bruising engagement with Idaho.
Forward pass defense will be
stressed this week, for against
Idaho the Webfoots were woefully
weak in that department. The
Vandals completed 10 of 17 passes,
with receivers constantly filtering
into the clear.
Dale Lasselle, Budd Jones and
Frank Michek, three regulars who
were taken out of the Idaho game
with injuries, are suffering only
from minor ailments, it developed
yesterday, and all will be in shape
for the Bruin duel. Jones, suffered
a bruised rib, and Michek, whose
mishap was a twisted knee, were
completely recovered yesterday
and worked out with their mates.
Lasselle has a bruised shoulder and
rested for a day but is certain to
be on deck Saturday.
Riordan’s Play Outstanding
Through Oregons far from bril
liant showing against Idaho, one
glimmering, scintillating ray of
sunshine pierced its way. That
searchlight in the fog was Stan
Riordan’s bang-up performance at
left end. Riordan hung up the
phenomenal punting average of
49.4 yards per kick, packed the
ball 18 yards on end-around plays
and was the receiving end of all
of the three passes completed by
the Webfoots. Riordan, considered
by many the outstanding wing
man in the conference, further
established himself as one of the
ace hooters in Pacific coast history
by increasing his average for the
four games thus far played by the
Ducks to 39.2 yards.
Riordan had lots of help on the
left side of the line, with Oregon’s
other two all-coast candidates, Del
Bjork at left tackle and Ross Car
ter at left guard, working in their
usual sparkling manner. The left
half of the Webfoot forward wall
has definitely proved itself super
ior among coast teams.
Not only on defense must the
Webfoots stress the aerial game
this week, for their own passing
attack is still an uncertain
quantity. Lasselle unfurled three
good heaves against the Vandals,
but on other attempts he and his
fornian, “The game was truly a
battle of the lines with the lemon
and green northerners cracking
under the strain \vhen the pressure
was on them. Evenly fought as
the contest was, there was no
question as to which was the bet
ter team.”

By BEN BACK
Alpha Tau Omega again proved
too strong for its opponent in the
intramural swim meets last night
and this time it happened that
Delta Upsilon was on the short
end of the score, 32 to 17. The
only other meet of the day failed
to materialize as the Alpha hall
team failed in mustering enough
men in order to meet the strong
Beta Theta Pi which was there in
all its glory.
Again it was the great star of
the A.T.O. house, Clark Thompson,
present Pacific coast diving cham
pion, who showed his outfit -the
way to emerge victorious. Flanked
by another great star, Stroble, by
name, Thompson, and his indus
trious team-mates scored an over
whelming victory over the D. U.
house. .
It looked for a while last night
as if the Delta Upsilon boys were
going to be smeared right and left
as the A. T. O. boys won first and
second piacv s in the first two races
very handily. Then they got them
selves organized and came back
with a rush. Dean, D. U. star, won
the 40 yard b-east stroke event
very easily and tuen made a game
try for the next two events but
the best he could do was to take
two second places. . ,
Some near-record' time was
scored in this meet which was
fought out very strenuously to the
bitter end. The 40 yard free style
record looked for a while as if it
were going to be shattered but it
withstood the onslaught.
The Beta boys turned out en
masse to see their house win but
were chagrined to find that they
won through the forfeit route. As
it was, the Beta boys staged a
little meet of their very own. Hurd,
Beta ade, easily flashed across the
finish line the winner.
Tonight the two winners of last
night’s contests meet each other
in what promises to be a knock
down-and-drag-’em-out affair. This
meet should be one of the most
evenly matched affairs yet to be
staged this season with either
team having a chance to win. Each
team has one great individual
star. For the Betas Hurd expects
to take his races while Clark
Thompson, of the A.T.O. is going
to scintillate for his team.
Victorious Ducklings
Prepare for Rook Game
With Nicholson leading the frosh 1
football team; the Ducklings eked
out a 12 to 6 victory over the Ore
gon Normal Wolves, before a ca
pacity crowd at Astoria's Gyro
field last Saturday night.
In the second quarter the Duck
lings started down the field from
their own 26-yard line, with Nich
olson and Gammon being the prin
cipal line gainers. From the 3 1-3
yard line Gammon took the ball
over for the first touchdown in
two plunges. The try for the con
version failed.
A punt blocked' by the Wolves
paved the way for their touch
down which evened the score up.
Another drive down the field in
the last quarter netted the frosh
the winning touchdown.
Anet, Peters, Stevens, Gammon,
Yerby, Hinman, and Veronda, were
outstanding for the Ducklings.
Coach Warren expressed today
that he is still unsatisfied with
the team’s showing in Astoria; as
they are still weak in the ability
to block and tackle. In practice
yesterday the frosh scrimmaged,
against the super-varsity, but were
unable to penetrate the forward
wall of the varsity. A hard prac
tice in blocking and tackling will
be given the frosh teams today.
One of the biggest “little games”
of the year will be played Friday
night in Eugene, when the Oregon
State rooks meet the Ducklings.
Both teams will have two victor
ies in back of them and will be
out to get each other's scalp for
all they are worth. The scores
made by the two teams shows that
the rook squad will be the favor
ites when the whistle blows Fri
day night on Hayward field.
Back of a fair line, the rooks
have one of the most promising
backfields seen on the Oregon
State campus in some time. Ben
Ell, an ex-Jefferson high school
football star is at the fullback post.
Ell is rated as one of the most
promising fullbacks at OSC since
Schulmerich.
From Pasadena, comes John Al
exander, although rather light, is
one of the fast men on the squad
and is very shifty. He plays the
left halfback ballpacking position.
At the outside blocking post is Jay
Mercer, teammate of Ell's at Jef
ferson last year. He is an excep
tionally good blocker and pass re
ceiver. Joe Enzler from Woodland,
Wash.; has played at the inside
blocking back post since the out
set of the season.
On the line are such prep stars
as Joe Wendlick, former Jefferson
high of Portland all-star end; Bob
McCalley, all-star center at Grant
high of Portland last year; Leon
Sterling of Honolulu, Hawaii; Boyd
Whitney, former Benson high of
Portland player, and Eli Cagle of
Salisbury, N. C.
In the past two years the two
yearling teams have each won two
games.

published by Wililam Pierce, of
Cambridge, in 1639.
