Sport Quacks By Tom McCall The Oregon victory bell has led a v? ”ied and joyful existence since its advent to this campus in the fall of 1932. It has been para ded proudly before thousands of hooting fans, ringing the clarion note of the conqueror. Its deep in tonations have accented victory throughout the stadiums of Wash ington, Oregon, and California but mixed with joyous tribulation of its followers and keepers has been an occasional strain of dis cord and frustration. An instance of this latter feel ing cropped out last Saturday night at the Dads’ day rally dance. During the intermission the l>ig lemon and green clapper was scheduled to shake the rafters in token of the taking of the Van dals. Out roared the rally commit tee, en masse, at ten thirty in quest of the bell. The halls of the Igloo were filcld with festive dads and students, a few chairs, and I’ll he darned if that wasn’t all. The bell “had went.” Frantic members of the student body finally ran the victory token down in the Salem railroad station. The large thing had a sheepish look as it crouched on the station floor. Tts captors circled around it, eyeing it reproachfully. “Wish it could tell us its tale," volunteered Jack Campbell, the bald eagle of the Fiji aerie. But it just sat there and sulked. Surmised locals, the chaps from Moscow carried it off in true Vandal fashion. lit * Conjecture as to the exact facts of the borrowing, raiding, or call it what you will, in connection with the bell, gave place to fact last week when a long, important looking letter arrived at the Pi Beta sorority. The recipient, Miss Caroline Hand, Emerald women’s sports editor, opened it, glanced at the contents, paled, reread the thing avidly, ran through the un opened door of the sorority, mounted the bicycle of an unwary Western Union messenger, and peddled 30 miles an hour to the Emerald office. There she dismounted, entered, and with quivering palm extended the disturbing inissle to Hid) Lucas, editor of the works. He read, quivered, quavered in a piping voice, “There's the man you want to see, our sports scribe, Tom Mc Call. lie indicated a short, be spectacled, grey haired old gentle man who sat nodding in the cor ner. To him ran Caroline with her letter. He took it from her, jock eyed up to a typewriter, and trans cribed the following confession, verbutum. “An Idaho trunk was shipped to Moscow bearing the weight mark: Eugene to Moscow Weight 521 pounds. Some fellow from Idaho in charge of ihe checking of ma terials put there-in surely must have known that 521 pounds was too heavy for 18 ten pound blank ets. i-»u you see wool nas iiappeneu : Some one took from under the very noses of the ASUO a victory bell. It wasn’t a cheap small col lege prank it was big time stuff. When the bell was first among the missing the ultimate idea behind it was to have a victory trophy none of the players knew of it. The fellow that rolled the empty trunk down the corridor and rolled the full one back was (the afore said manager.) “As innocent looking as he may be—he just took the bell as NSC took the Big Stick. After Idaho lost the game another Idea matrie ulated—why not keep the bell Play In UCLA Game Oregon Ducks Wing Way South to Invade Mighty Bruins’Lair 33 Webfoot Stalwarts Park Baggage for Los Angeles Fray; Final Workout Held Thirty - three Oregon football players this morning boarded a train for Los Angeles, where on Saturday they face the powerful UCLA Bruins in a crucial test, and among their number was Frank (Bud) Goodin. Goodin, sophomore hallfback star, suffered a cracked ankle in the California game and has been out of action since, but yesterday he was released from medical care, and the cast was removed from his foot. He worked out briefly with the second string and was pronounced fit for service against the Bruins. Prink Callison will not start the 180-pound ball packing and pass heaving ace and may not use him at all. Tf needed, Goodin will be ready, and he may prove just the tonic the Ducks need to kick over the dope bucket and dump the Westwood eleven. Webfoots Battle Frosh The Webfoots were sent through another long scrimmage against the frosh under the lights of Hay ward field last night, a few hours before they sped away from Eu gene on the 1:00 a. m. train. Prior to the scrimmage session Callison drilled the team against UCLA plays, with the first and second strings alternating on of fense and defense. All men were in suits and in good shape. The Ducks are due to arrive in Los Angeles in time for a workout Friday. Oregon's starting lineup against the Bruins is expected to be al most identical to that which opened the Idaho game. The only position uncertain at present is center, where either Ed Farrar or Vernon Moore may get the call. Several reserves have been out standing in practice, but Callison expects to stand pat on his first string. Lopez Stars in Practice A feature of the week's work has been the surprising showing of Ray Lopez, reserve right halfback. Whenever he has relieved Bob Braddock in scrimmages against the frosh, Lopez has run wild. Braddock’s stellar performances in recent games are likely to keep the 157-pound Santa Monica junior on the bench, however. With Goodin booked to play but not to start, choice for the left halfback position in the Bruin battle rests between shifty Dale Lasselle and chunky Romey De away until the victory uancc is over? That end was accomplished. Then, the hell—at Portland—was removed from the trunk—by the Key Bearer—the manager—and returned to the campus of the Bucks—too lute for the victory dance. “It really was a lot of fun and you now have the bell back with out a great deal of harm done. You might ring the bell for me. I have an autograph on it." (Signed) Wayland Tonning Idaho Football Manager. Swim Finals Take Place In Men’s Gym Betas and Yeomen Vie in Season’s Wind-up at 4:00 p. m. Swimmers All Stars By BEN BACK Swim Finals Beta Theta Pi vs. Yeomen, 4:00 p. m. Last night the Yeomen won the right to battle the Betas for this year’s swimming intramural title by decisively defeating Phi Gam ma Delta, 32 to 17. The meet was won largely through the heroic efforts of two Yeomen, Smith and Levy, who cer tainly proved their worth by put ting on a real show for the large crowd of spectators. Levy sur prised experts by beating his star team-mate, Jimmie Smith, to the tape in the 40-yard free style. In the following race, the back stroke event, the Fijis retaliated and tied up the race at 9-all. But it was only a flash in the pan, as the determined Yeomen complete ly smothered the fraternity boys in succeeding races. The Fijis had the 120-yard med ley relay race won but were dis qualified for an improper turn. Of the two teams who meet in tonight’s encounter, the Betas had a much easier schedule to go through while the Yeomen had to conquer some pretty tough teams in order to finally achieve the fin als. For the Betas, Hurd, Simpson, and Sexton are the outstanding stars while Yeomen highlights are Smith, Levy, Oglesby, Kirby, and Van Lydegraf. Plttard. Neither can be classed a.s a first-rate passer, so if the Web foots resort to the aerial game it may mean a rush call for Goodin. Speedboy Bobby King also stands a chance at getting a crack, at Bill Spaulding's crew. If the Ducks can spill UCLA they’ll be back in the thick of the fight for the coast conference championship. The Uclans’ vic tories over Oregon State and Stanford naturally establish them as heavy favorites over Oregon, and a surprise Webfoot uprising will gain national recognition for Callison’s crew. A.D. Pis Honor Chancellor The Alpha Delta Pis were host esses at a faculty dinner last night in honor of Chancellor and Mrs. Frederick M. Hunter and Jiro Ha rada. The other guests were: Dean and Mrs. Virgil D. Earl, Dr. and Mrs. C. L. Schwering, President and Mrs. C. V. Boyer, and Miss Pakako Nakajimo, who is a Jap anese exchange student on the campus.

Two Fullbacks Will Feature Frosh Game Individual Dual Between Ell and LeCau Should Be Game’s Highlight The annual "Civil War” between the Oregon frosh and the Oregon State rooks tomorrow night on Hayward field is likely to develop into a personal battle between two mighty fullbacks. Interest is running high over the marked improvement displayed by Jean “Foghorn” LaCau, the Duck lings' crashing fullback, and Coach Warren said that if he continues his driving play he may overshad ow Ben Ell, Oregon State’s hope. LaCau is a rugged 200-pounder who was selected “all-city” at San Francisco last year. His defensive work is of the same quality of that of Mike Mikulak and his offensive work has been improving each day. Ell, former “all-city” from Port land, will carry the brunt of the rook offense and will be the marked man of the O.S.C. eleven. He is regarded as the most out standing fullback to play for Ore gon State since Wes Schulmerich. Another player who shows prom ise of going places tomorrow night, according to Warren, is Bob Anet, driving quarterback. He has been playing so well in recent practices that he will likely get the starting call over Jimmy Nicholsen. Several of the frosh squad are still on the injured list. Nilsen, end, is bothered by a trick knee; Nicmi, guard, is laid up with a sprained angle; Hinman, end, has a bad knee, Blackman, half, is hampered by minor injuries; and Bogue, full, is definitely out of the game with a torn knee. The rest of the team is in good shape and will be composed of the same men that succeeded in de feating Oregon Normal last week. Send the Emerald to your friends. Subscription rates $2.o0 a year.
