UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1935
Sport
❖ Quacks
By Tom McCall
Ryan & Company, Wall Street
commission brokers, are offering
9-5 odds that the Bruins will take
the measure of the northern in
vaders this afternoon ... A wrin
kle in the money bag to you, Sen
or Ryan and cohorts of the 9-5
school.
Jimmy Phelan gives Oregon a
three point margin on the stipula
tion that all the backs are in per
fect physical condition. Knowing,
as he probably does, that Bud
Goodin’s ankle is questionable, that
Frank Miehek has recurring knee
troubles, and that Dale Lasselie is
nursing a sore shoulder in Eugene,
it would seem that the Huskey
mentor is pretty squarely located
on top of the “fence.”
Now about the participants
themselves . . . The Uclans, judg
ing from reports in southern pa
pers, see the Oregon team as a
barrier to the gates of the Rose
Bowl. Sort of a low hurdle, think
the players, if I am any judge of
pigskin parlance . . . Coach Spaul
ding is really leery of the Web
foots. He compares the height of
the climb over them unto the pole
vault.
The opinions of the 32 football
ers, who went south from here,
give their team an even chance
. . . Coach Callison and staff have
an idea that the Bruins’ physical
strength is overrated.
* * *
I’ll cast my unauthoritative, but
enthusiastic, vote in favor of an
Oregon victory, by at least a 13
point margin. I don’t think UCLA
is as strong as the win column
shows. Yardage statistics, in the
Stanford game, particularly, show
that their victories must come
from a powerful fighting spirit and
the will to hold on with their backs
to the goalposts . . . They are
bound to run short on innards one
of these days. . . Also let us all
pray that the L.A. Jinx is late for
the party.
•I5 -i'
The outweighed Huskies, in
meeting Stanford, face a team
flooded with potential All-Ameri
cans who will be just barely good
enough to drop them from the
ranks of the undefeated. That is,
if By Haines is chained to the
goalpost . . . Upon second thought,
Washington, sans chains, is 10
points weaker than the Cards.
That’s final!
Elsewhere in the conference . . .
Portland: The Beaver pelts the
Cougar but really has to strain In
doing it . . . Berkeley: California’s
powerful defensive and smooth of
fensive aren’t enough in evidence
to stave off a wild fighting Tro
jan machine which writes UPSET
into Sunday’s headlines . . . Mos
cow: The loss of Fullback Sund
berg of Idaho gives the Grizzlies
from Missoula too big a break not
to capitalize on it.
Jumping the Rockies we find the
following winners: Army over
Yale, Rice over Texas, Texas
Christian over Centenary, Dart
mouth over Harvard, Notre Dame
over Navy; Princeton over Cor
nell: Columbia over Michigan,
Holy Cross over Colgate. Villanova
over Detroit, Pittsburgh over Penn
State, Chicago over Wisconsin,
Ohio State over Indiana, Nebraska
over Oklahoma, Georgetown over
N.Y.U., and Marquette over Mis
sissippi.

Awaitiug Los
Angeles Gun
Southerners Heavy
Favorites to Crush
Ducks; DePittard to
Start at Left Half
.By PAT FRIZZELL
Oregon's determined Webfoot
football team will attempt to halt
the Rose Bowl rush of UCLA’s
rampaging Bruins in the latter’s
Westwood laid at Los Angeles this
afternoon.
Time for the opening kick-off is
2:30 p. m. and at stake are Ore
gon’s hopes for a share of the Pa
cific coast conference crown. Stu
dents here will live and breathe
the ups and downs of their favor
ite gridiron warriors through the
medium of radio.
Oregon Men Workout
The Webfoots barged into the
city of the Angels yesterday,
frisked through a brief wcjrkout,
and were pronounced ready to go
places and do things against the
Bruins, who also put on finishing
touches with a final drill.
Their 7-6 upset win over mighty
Stanford brought Bill Spaulding’s
Uclans into the limelight all over
the land, and on the strength of
that astounding triumph and an
earlier 20-to-7 conquest of Oregon
State, the wildmen of Westwood
are top-heavy favorites to smother
the Ducks today. A poll of United
PreSs sports writers found eleven
picking the Bruins to one lonely
supporter of Oregon.
Webfoots Undismayed
Such odds bother Prink Callison
and his lads not the least bit, and
the Webfoots can be counted upon
to give Chuck Chesire, Ted Key
and the rest of the UCLA big guns
all the battle they ask.
Oregon stock has risen rapidly
since the recovery of Bud Goodin,
for should the sprightly sophomore
left halfback be able to play it will
make all the difference in the
world in the Webfoot offense. How
much action Goodin will see is
problematical, but the plucky lad
is almost certain to get in for a
while.
Lasselle Out
With Dale Lasselle left behind
due to a shoulder ailment and
Goodin not expected to start, first
string duties at the all-important
left half post will fall to Romey
DePittard, whose marked improve
ment the past two weeks has es
tablished him as one of the best
men on the squad. DePittard is a
first-class blocker and hits the
line like the proverbial ton of lead.
Frank Michek, who has averaged
close to four yards every time he
has carried the ball this year; Bob
Braddock, ball packing star of the
Idaho game, and reliable Johnny
Reischman will complete Oregon's
backfield quartet,
liicrdan to Captain Team
The left side of the Webfoot
line is among the strongest in the
nation and the vaunted UCLA
backs are apt to find a stone wall
when they bump into it. Captain
Stan Riordan, the Pacific coast’s
ace punter, at left end; Del Bjork,
priae of Astoria, left tackle, and
Ross Carter, one of the most ag
gressive guards ever seen here, are
the men who comprise Oregon’s
left side and every one of the trio
is an all-coast prospect.
The right half of the Webfoot
forward wall, almost as outstand
ing, will see Budd Jones at right
end. Ken Skinner at right tackle,
and Tony Amato at right guard
Callison has not yet definitely de
cided between Ed Farrar and Soph
omore Vernon Moore at center,
but both are sure to see service
during the course of the struggle.
I Chesire Leads Bruins
I Chesire, whose dynamic dashes
j put the Bruins in position to beat
I Stanford, and big Ted Key, whose
■ 200-pound frame plunged over for
j the touchdown and then added the
j extra point, are the men the Ducks
I must watch. Chesire plays left
half with Key who is stationed at
I fullback. Fred Funk, right half,
and Remington Olmstead, quarter
back. are other Bruin backfield
stars. Both are veterans.

! Hobson Calls
Varsity Out
Initial Workouts
Monday at 4 p. m.
Candidates for Oregon's 1935-35
varsity basketball team will swing
into action of McArthur court’s
polished floor Monday afternoon at
4 o'clock.
“Five positions are wide open,”
Coach Howard Hobson said yes
terday. which means that, despite
the wealth of lettermen and trans
fers on hand, every man who turns
out will have a chance.
The new Webfoot hoop tutor
went on to point out that the
transfers from Southern Oregon
normal and other schools of junior
tollegc standing' had not proved
their worth in coast conference
play and that there is no certainty
that they will make the grade.
A man need not have varsity or
freshman experience behind him to
crash the Webfoot squad. Last
year’s intramural players will
have every opportunity to make
the team, Hobson believes. To put
it in the ex-SONS and Benson tech
mentor’s own words, “The more
that turn out the better.”
All aspirants for the team ex
cept lettermen must furnish their
own equipment Monday. No equip
ment will be issued to any player
until he positively demonstrates
his worth.
The only statement Hobson has
to make about Oregon's chances of
capturing the northern division
championship is that the Webfoots
will be “dark horses.” His system,
he explains, will be new to most
5 of the basketeers and may be hard
1 to learn.
One thing is definite about Hob
son’s team and' that is that it will
j play fast, colorful ball. Every
crew “Hobbie” has ever coached
has.
Included in a promising sched
ule of pre-season games being lined
, up for the Ducks will be several
: in California. Hobson plans to take
s the squad to San Francisco during
the Christmas holidays.

Sigma Nu Wins
Water Polo
Contest 4 to 1
Sigma Chi Unable to
Score in Second Half
After Playing Well
In First Period
Today’s Water Polo Schedule:
Phi Gamma Delta vs. Gamma
hall, 4:00 p, m.
Beta 1'. c Pi vs. Zeta hall,
4:30 p. m.
Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Sigma
hall, 5:00 p. m.
Two water polo stars, Koskelo
and Barclay, both members of the
Sigma Nu team, last night com
bined efforts to defeat a strong
Sigma Chi outfit by a 4 to 1 score.
The millracers were held scoreless
during the first half, but with the
opening of the second their attack
sparked to the extent of scoring
of four sensational goals. Mean
while, they limited the Sigma Chis
to a single marker.
Gridley, Sigma Chi left guard,
in the opening half broke through
the Sigma Nu defense with a weird
shot, that completely baffled Rob
inson, the Sigma Nu goalie. After
that neither team could break
through the other's defense in this
half, until the rest period.
Sigma Nu Scores Four Times
At the opening of the second
half, Barclay slammed a vicious
shot into the Sigma Chi net which
Johnson, the goalie, missed by
inches. Barclay’s teammate, Kos
kelo, then shot another hard pass
past the player it was intended for
and it also went into the net by
virtue of a fluke shot.
The next goal was scored by
Koskelo who whizzed one into the
Sweetheart net. To add to John
son’s evident discomfiture Barclay
made matters safe by scoring the
final goal of the evening.
