Football Attendance
This Season Expected
To Exceed That of 1929
Quacks
By TOM McCAIX
This autumn’s weekend panoramas of the jump, jolt, and gin have
been witnessed by the largest flocks of the citizenry to click the turn
stiles of the stadiums of Ameriea since 1928.
At midseason the college crowds have surpassed those of 1934 and
are slightly in excess of the 1929 turnout at the halfway mark. Time
magazine estimates that 700,000 players will have put on the show for
an audience of 20,000,000 by the time the new year rolls around.
Beside the fact that mazuma is a little more accessible and avail
able than in the last five years, you can add the following to the why
and wherefore of the increase in the number of onlookers. First: most
of the “set-up" opponents of previous seasons have been discarded by
the major schools in favor of more potent competition. Second: small,
but able, teams have risen to the fore to become real crowd pleasers.
Third: teams in the various conferences have been more evenly
matched than for some time. Take as an example our conference, with
lowly Montana losing games to those near the top rung by narrow
margins. Fourth: 1935 rules have opened the the game considerably
by making possible more spectacular ground play and freedom in
passing.
Nineteen deaths in football this half season! Seventeen high school
and sand lot players have died as a result of gridiron injuries. Two
fatalities have been recorded in college ranks. The hand cf death has
not touched a member of the pro-gridiron legions, because of casualties
on the field of play, since the inception of the game several years ago.
This 17-2-0 ratio gives you an idea of how much safer the college man
is than the high school player and how much more immune the pro
fessional is from injury than either the prepper or the college player.
It has been so in other years, statistics tell us. Age and experience
would seem to be the reason. Surely not the degree of fierceness of
the play, because professional football is the toughest, hardest game
of the three.
si* * *
Tackling is the department of the scrimmage in which most of the
injuries are received. Immature preppers often bear the brunt of stop
ping a hard charging back with thier undeveloped neck; whereas
college and professional footballists are taught to receive the shock
on one of their shoulders. Dick Hyland, ex-Stanford performer, sug
gests that touch football be played exclusively in high schools. The
fundamentals, as well as learning how to handle the ball, could be ac
quired, without the risk of permanent disability.
A few years ago hungry bookmakers turned their eyes and their
funds to the possibility of wagering in college football and began to
quote odds. The untried became a mania which reached “liigii C” for
the Ohio State-Notre Dame game a couple of weeks ago. Ryan and Co.,
then, handled the record sum of $500,900 in wagers. Another gridiron
gambling scheme which is gaining popularity is the soiling of a list
of games on a certain weekend, for, say, 10 cents. The small investors
who pick four winners from the list receive 4 to 1 odds. Forecasters
of a half a dozen triumphs usually get paid 8 to 1.
Jiro Harada Has New
Projector for Art Class
A new projector arrived recent
ly for Mr. Jiro Harada’s class in
Japanese art and culture. He ex
Japanese art and culture. He is
using the projector now.
The projectors available on the
campus were not quite large
enough to show the plates Mr. Ha
rada had to present.
Very happy to have received the
new projector, Mr. Harada said,
“I shall be able to show my stu
dents many of the reproductions of
Japanese art that I brought over.
“In giving this course of lectures
on Japanese art and culture, I
wish to leave as lasting impres
sions as possible upon the students.
I brought over some lantern slides,
many photographs, and illustra
tions to be shown on the screen,
for it is very difficult to create im
pressions of works of art without
seeing or getting some visual rep
resentation.
"But merely seeing pictures once
or twice on the screen is not suf
ficient to leave a lasting impres
sion on the mind. I have brought
with me a large number of collo
type plates of Japanese works of
art which I wish to distribute
among my students that they may
keep them with notes for refer
ence. By that means I hope that
the pictures may be referred to
later for further usfe and that Jap
anese art may be better under
stood.”
Mr. Harada smiled good
naturedly and said, “Although I
prepared a fairly large number of
those plates to enable me to use
them here and for lectuers else
where, the attendance at my lec
tures was so much larger than I
had expected, that I have decided
to use all of them. To my regret,
even then there aren’t enough to
provide each student with a com
plete set.
New Library Will Have
Large Newspaper Room
ihe newspaper facilities of the
new library will be much more
convenient and. roomy than C jse
of the present library, plans reveal.
The entire front, or north end, of
the basement will be set aside for
this purpose.
In the newspaper reading room
there will be twelve large tables,
with accomodations for 90 readers.
Students w’ho are not using library
reference material will be expected
to do their studying here instead
of in other reading rooms. The
Eraille books will also be filed
here.

The room itself can be easily

which will be almost level with the

east of the reading room are the

Frosh to Improve
Offensive Work
For Pilot Tilt
Oregon’s victorious Webfoots
frolicked joyously in the rain last
night. From the complete abandon
ment, jocularity, and enthusiasm
the happy Duck warriors exhibited,
the casual onlooker might have
gathered that they had just hauled
in a national championship.
From an Oregon standpoint, the
Webfoots’ glorious 13-to-0 triumph
over a favored Oregon State team
Saturday carries about as much
significance as a national tiHle,
even though to the victor belongs
only the undisputed championship
of Lane and Benton counties.
Oregon’s Season a Success
No matter what happens from
now on, Oregon’s 1935 football
season is a success. A “civil war”
win over the Beavers automatical
ly makes any Webfoot aggregation
a successful one. It was the 26th
conescutive Oregon victory on
Hayward field and a fourth in suc
cession over Oregon State, a new
record for the 39-year old tradi
tional rivalry.
Never before has either of the
two ancient gridiron enemies run
up a string of four triumphs in as
many years, although several
streaks of three are on the books.
Though the Oregon State game
has already marked 1935 as a me
morable year in Webfoot football
annals, Prink Callison has no in
tention of letting his joyous young
gentlemen rest on their laurels.
Three Games Remain
“Now that you have shown some
ability on defense in the game with
Oregon State, let’s really get down
and work to perfect our offense,”
Callison told the lads when they
assembled yesterday for their first
practice since the big fight.
Three teams remain on the Web
foot schedule—Portland university,
to be met in Portland this coming
Saturday; Washington, a tradi
tional foe, which will play host to
the Ducks in Seattle November 23:
and St. Mary’s another traditional
opponent, which will provide Ore
gon’s final entertainment in San
Francisco December 7.
Goodin’s Condition Improved
With the exception of Bud Good
in, hard'-luck left halfback, all
Webfoot players came through the
tough struggle with the Staters
unhurt. Goodin, who suffered a
brain concussion in the first min
ute of play, is in the University
infirmary, but his condition is not
considered dangerous.
At first fear was held that the
brilliant sophomore halfback
might have a skul fracture, but
examination revealed only a brain
concussion, and he will probably
be released from the informary by
the end of the week. However, Dr.
M. B. Hesdorffer, team physician,
yesterday expressed doubt that
Goodin wall be able to work out be
fore the Washington game,

Callison p’ ’ ; to risk no chance
of an upset at the hands of Port
land's pesky Pilots Saturday and
he has indicated that the regulars
will start against Gene Murphy's
up-and-coming crew. The only
likely change in starting positions
will see Dale Lasselle, who per
formed well in the Beaver battle,
opening at Goodin’s left half post.
While the regulars pranced
around the greensward, Callison
sent the second and third strings

mage with the frosh. The reserves

Tony Amato’s
BIG MOMENT
IN FOOTBALL
AS TOLD TO BRI CE CURItlE
A blocked' goal kick in a cru
cial game, gave Tony Amato, Ore
gon's crashing guard, his big mo
ment in football.
It happened in 1933, when Ama
to was playing for Washington
high, in a game against Commerce
high of Portland.
A loss would put Washington out
of the conference title race, so
Amato and his teammates opened
up a terrific power drive in the
first quarter. With Tom Collins,
now of Stanford, as a spear head
of the attack Washington scored a
touchdown, but failed to add the
extra point.
Both teams failed to show much
power until the last quarter, when
Commerce opened up a drive that
was a drive.
A brilliant passing attack with
Nello Vanelli, lanky Commerce
end on the receiving end of the
passes, resulted in a touchdown
for Commerce.
But here the Commerce team
made a big mistake. They took
time out to give Vanelli, their star
goal kicker, a rest so that he could
add the extra point that would
break the tie.
The time out gave the Washing
ton eleven ample time to organize
a smashing play that soon came
into good use. As the ball was
snapped to the Commerce receiver,
a battering mob of Washington
players drove through the Com
merce line, and smothered Vanelli
and his kick, like a blanket.
The game ended 6-G. This tie
and another win, over Roosevelt
high, gave Washington the city
title. Who can blame Tony for be
ing thrilled in a game like that.
Tony, by the way, has made
himself pretty valuable to the Ore
gon eleven this year, and as he is
only a sophomore, we may hear
plenty more of him.

Basketball Call
Place to Practice
Warren’s Big Worry
With freshman football a thing
of the past until next fall, Coach
Warren and his frosh hopefuls are
turning their eyes towards the
popular winter game of basketball.
No definite date for the initial
practice has yet been announced.
At the present time Warren’s
biggest worry is trying to find a
place where his casaba artist^, will
be able to practice. McArthur
court is not available because the
varsity practices there every af
ternoon.
The men’s gym is being used for
intramural volleyball games every
afternoon between four and six so
there’s not much chance of prac
ticing there.
There are several former high
school stars enrolled in the frosh
class but Coach Warren wants it
made clear that they will have no
preference over anyone else. Every
freshman who has ever played
basketball or who ever wanted to
play is welcome and wanted to re
port for action when his first call
for aspirants is issued.

Sigma Chi Beats
Phi Sigs Twice
Delta Tau Delta Walks
On Clii Psi Outfit
Though hampered by having the
lights go out on them in the men’s
gym during a thrilling volleyball
contest, Sigma Chi managed to
defeat a strong Phi Sigma Kappa
"B" team last night by 15-4 and
15-9 scores.
Beers and Hitchcock Star
The player probably responsible
for wrecking the Phi Sigs defense
was Frank Beers, Sigma Chi’s
kill-shot specialist, who through
out the two games gave evidence
of becoming outstanding in this
year’s games. His teammates gave
him some wonderful support and
the Sigma Chi star made the most
of his help.
Frank Hitchcock, Phi Sig fresh
man hailing from Honolulu, per
formed brilliantly for his team by
making some almost impossible
plays. C. Johnson, of the Phi Sigs,
also played good ball for his side.
Delta Tail Delta Beats Chi Psi
Jimmie Blais, student body
prexy, and Reed Swenson, another
Delt, combined efforts to defeat a
fighting Chi Psi team. Blais came
through in fine style by scoring
many points on his service. Swen
son passed brilliantly. The scores
of the two games were 15-4 and
15-7.
Other Results Listed
All other contests on the night’3
schedule were won through the
forfeit route. Teams winning via
this method last night were Sigma
Phi Epsilon, Theta Chi, Omega
hall, and Sigma Nu.

a ween ago, water polo, one oi
the most interesting and exciting
of'"Tntramural”sports”came'" to” a
close. In previous years, water polo
has been looked upon as a minor
sport in intramural circles, but
this year more enthusiasm was
shown by all living organizations
than ever before. Due to the great
amount of interest this sport
aroused, an all-star intramural
water polo team has been pictted
by Marion Weitz, superintendent
of the sport, and Ben Back, intra
mural editor of the Emerald.
During the two weeks existence
of the sport, Beta Theta Pi domin
ated the water at all times, and as
a result, four men were picked
from this organization for places
on the first team.
Hurd Chosen Captain
Probably the best water polo
player was Jim Hurd, who was
chosen as the team’s mythical cap
tain. Hurd’s shots were always
hard, sure, and swift. He never
took unnecessary shorts, prefer
ring to pass to some teammate
who was out in the clear. It was
Hurd who made things easy for
his three Beta all-star cohorts, C.
Heed, J. Reed, and H. Sexton. C.
Thompson, and B. Grout, ATO’s;
and J. Smith, Yeomen, were un
doubtedly the best defensive play
ers in the league.
There was little difference in re
gards to the scoring punch of the
two all-star teams selected. If
these two teams were to meet
some time in the near future, a
