Football Attendance
This Season Expected
To Exceed That of 1929
Prep Injuries Could
Be Eliminated Through
Inception of “Touch” •
By TOM Met ALL
Cloris Francis (“I Wasn’t Ted After AH”) Key practiced a really
smart bit of deception when he turned his back on the Texas school
of mines and made his way to the Pacific coast in the early part of
10327With a good many years of football under his belt he still thirsted
for more, so wht did he do but enroll in Urban military academy, a
Los Angeles prep school. His record there is unknown to us in the
north, but I would dare venture the opinion that a man who has!
played at least two seasons of college competition would be able to
establish quite a reputation in high school ranks. Besides, his presence
in a prep school would be the best way possible to alleviate suspicion
when he went “up.” That is, unless his sensationalism caused some
curious soul to inquire into the records, which apparently did not
happen, then anyhow.
■i. * *
Prink Callison, Bill Hayward and the rest of that entourage that
headed for Louisiana last autumn should be commended on their
sportsmanship in the whole affair. Players of the Texas school of
mines informed the Webfoot coaching staff of Key’s status then, but
not one word was divulged by the mentors or players. The sportsman
ship shown by their silence becomes doubly significant when one recalls
the speed and thoroughness with which Oregon’s great colored back,
Joe Lillard, was thrown out of the conference, on even less suspicion,
by California appointed Czar Butler, in 1932.
Unofficial reports from Missoula indicate that the University of
Montana will have a new field house before the spring zephyrs have
slopped circulating. This leaves the University of Oregon as Ihe only
major school in the Northwest that has not yet made provisions to
shelter its football, baseball, and track teams in adverse weather.
Workouts, held in the face of the gallons of icy rain that drive earth
ward around and in Eugene, cause colds, pulled muscles, and greater
depreciation of equipment. Only last Tuesday five members of the
varsity squad came down with colds caused by sloshing around in
damp and muddy uniforms. Track and baseball workouts are held up
from a week to one month every spring.
With the need of a new KOTC barracks also so evident, it would
be possible and feasible that University officials get together with
army officials and plan some such athletic armory as is used by both
Idaho and Oregon State.
* * *
In a recent column of mine it was stated that out of every 19
deaths resulting from football injuries, 17 occur in high school and
sandlot games and practices and two in college grid play. The yarn
then went on to tell why the prep school death rate was higher than
that of college ball. This latter assertion I wish to alter because it is
fallacious. To prove it the following statistics are presented. In Oregon,
for instance, there are nearly 3500 high school players and slightly
over 300 college footballists. Applying locally the national ratio that
17 out of 19 deaths occur in prep ranks, we find that the percentage of
prep fatalities is .0056 of the number of men participating, whereas in
college .0066 percent of the total number participating meet with
death.
Sham Battle Staged
On Campus by ROTC
By PAUL DEUTSCHMAN
War Correspondent for the
Emerald
BATTLE FRONT, (Special) —
Nov. 14.—In a sudden unannounced
attack a mysterious army swooped
down upon the Oregon campus
yesterday, establishing themselves
on the field between Condon and
Johnson before defending forces
could muster a repulsing army.
The invaders, led' by a new mil
itary light, ‘'General” Ken BeLieu,
consisted of 11 men and 12 dogs.
They were armed to the teeth car
rying one shotgun, three pop-guns,
a horse pistol, and various other
implements of war. Evidently they
had already raided the ROTC
units for they were attired in
freshman “monkey-suits.”
Camp Destroyed
Surprised students (especially
coed's) were escorted by the “ar
my” during intervals between pe
riods. During one such leave of
absence, the invaders, waxing
careless after being no opposition
all morning, left their camp un
guarded.
Roland Rourke, patriotic vice
president of the student body, and
John Lewis, daring anti-militarist,
took their lives in their hands and
destroyed the camp in the absence
of the guard'. Four pup-tents, the
encampment of the aggressors,
were leveled to the ground as was
their guidon, which up to then had
flown possessively over the out
post.
Mutiny in Ranks
Sergeant Bud McCredie was un
able to assist General BeLieu in
controlling mutinies within the
group. It is rumored that he is
entirely behind the insurrection.
Pete Brooks, guidon bearer, and
Bill Paddock, KP, were also be
hind the rebellion, it is believed.
Privates Frank Michck, Bill
Summers, Dave Morris, Ed Mor
row, John Thomas, John Keyes,
and Cy Cook were undecided as to
what further course should be
taken.
Unconfirmed rumor states that
the detachment is a foreguard sent
out by Scabbard and Blade, hon
orary military fraternity, in an ef
fort to quell the anti-militarist
group on the campus. The fact
that all members of the “army”
are pledges of Scabbard and Blade
led to this opinion.

Riordan Will
Lead Ducks
In Pilot Tilt
Thirty-one Players
To Make Portland
Journey; Goodin
Out of Infirmary
Stan Riordan, the Pacific Coast
conference’s most potent punter
was named yesterday to captain
Oregon's Webfoot football team in
its game with the University of
Portland in Multnomah stadium
tomorrow. The Pilot contest will
be the second this fall in which
Riordan has led the Duck squad. A
month ago he captained the team
against California.
Prink Callison last night an
nounced a traveling squad of 31
players. Accompanied by coaches,
managers, and the University band,
the team will leave for Portland on
a special train at 7:30 Saturday
morning. Men making the trip to
the metropolis follow: Stan Rior
dan, Budd Jones, Lief Jacobsen,
Leonard Holland, and AI Wilson,
ends; Del Bjork, John Engstrom,
Ken Skinner, Bill E’oskett, Pat
Fury, and Chuck Shimomura, tac
kles; Tony Amato, Ross Carter,
Clarence Codding, Andy Hurney,
Winfred Pepper, and Joe Houston,
guards; Vernon Moore, Ed Farrar,
Chan Berry, and Denny Breaid,
centers; Johnny Reischman and
Dick Bishop, quarterbacks; Bob
Braddock, Bobby King, Dale Las
selle, Bill Patrick, Romey DePit
tard, and Ray Lopez, halfbacks,
and Frank Michek and Jerry Don
nell, fullbacks.
Goodin Out of Infirmary
The already jubilant Webfoot
grid camp was sent into further
ecstacies yesterday by the news
that Francis Albertus (Bud) Good
in; Oregon’s hard-luck halfback,
had been released from the campus
infirmary.
Goodin, who suffered a slight
brain concussion in the Oregon
State scrap, will not be allowed to
don pigskin togs until next Tues
day and won’t even make the jour
ney to Portland, but his rapid re
covery virtually assures his par
ticipation in the traditional battle
with Washington next week-end.
Lasselle to Open
With Goodin definitely out of
what may develop into a tough
struggle with the Pilots, his mates
yesterday continued their drill
against Gene Murphy’s plays. It
was a light but long workout for
both regulars and reserves as Cal
lison and his staff applied finish
ing touches to the Webfoot train
ing routine.
Dale Lasselle is assured of the
opening call at Goodin’s erstwhile
position, with Romey DePittard
and Bobby King filling the role of
understudies. Otherwise the Ducks
will line up exactly as they did on
Hayward field against the Oregon
State onslaught last week.
Last College Tilt in Portland
Tomorrow’s tussle will be the
final major college contest in Port
land this year and will mark the
Webfoots’ last 1935 appearance in
the state. Following the Washing
ton game, the Ducks wind up their
season against St. Mary’s in San
Francisco.
The Pilots plan to offset Ore
gon’s power and defensive prowess
with a sweeping overhead attack.

star, is Portland’s premier passer

STAN RIORDAN’S
BIG MOMENT
IN FOOTBALL
AS TOLD TO BRUCE CURRIE
Stan Riordan, Oregon's brilliant
punter, did not get his biggest
thrill in football when he made
those beautiful kicks last Satur
day, nor any kicks, on any day!
Stan got his biggest thrill when
he tossed a long pass from behind
his own goal line, that was com
pleted', and carried for a touch
down.
Riordan was playing for Pasa
dena high in a football game
against Santa Monica high. The
last quarter was almost over and
Santa Monica was leading 7-6.
Pasadena had possession of the
ball deep in their own territory.
Riordan received the ball from cen
ter and faded back into his own
end zone. The eager Santa Monica
tacklers rushed for Riordan, but
Stan tossed a long pass to his
teammate, Mclsaac, who leaped in
to the air, snatched the pass, and
dashed 70 yards for a touchdown!
Pasadena. converted, making the
score 13-7 for Pasadena. Riordan
averaged over 50 yards in his kicks
that day.
Next year, when the Oregon
team gets in a tight spot, we will
miss Riordan and his long, high
punts, for this is his last year on
the Oregon squad.
and he compares with almost any
heaver on the coast.
Albin’s Passing Outstanding
It was Albin’s passing which en
abled the Pilots to hold Santa
Clara to a 12-to-6 score a year ago
The Portlanders, who held both
Santa Clara and Oregon State
scoreless in the first half of
games played this season, have
seldom dropped a game inside
Muitnomah stadium’s concrete
walls.
An 18-to-0 defeat by Gonzaga
two years ago has been the Pilots’
worst showing in Portland in sev
en years, and the dwellers on the
cliff are counting on the stadium
jinx to bring them victory over
Oregon.

CORRECTION
The Emerald wishes to cor
rect a report in yesterday’s in
tramural volleyball story which
stated that the Omega hall team
was defeated by Phi Sigma
Kappa. Contrary to tile write
up, the Omegans displayed sur
prising power to upset the fav
ored Phi Sigs in consecutive
contests, 16-14, 16-14. The ease
with which they triumphed over
the fraternity men indicates
that the dorm combination will
likely be a serious menace to
the championship aspirations of
other sextettes should they
continue the fine play demon
strated Wednesday.
crack Kappa Sig sextet, passed so
expertly that they won the second
game and almost won the third.
The scores of the three games were
as follows: 15-9, 13-15, 15-8.
One of the most vicious and
hard-fought games of the current
season was the one between Phi
Delta Theta and Sigma Nu. Sigma
Nu tried hard but the Phi Delts
had a much better passing attack
and spiked much harder. "Wee
Wesley” Clausen was the individ
ual star of this game.
Fijis Beat Theta Chi
In a thrilling, but drawn-out
contest that took quite a while to
play, Phi Gamma Delta won a
straight-game victory over Theta
Chi by 15-4 and 15-8 scores.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Gam

Hoopers Drill
As Season Nears
Webfoots Work Daily
Under Hobson’s Eye
Overshadowed for the present by
the ballyhoo and fan-fare of foot
ball, some twenty-odd University
of Oregon basketball candidates
have been working out nightly on
McArthur court’s historic floor for
the past three weeks.
Under the expert tutelage of a
brand new coach, Howard Hobson,
the aspiring Webfoot basketeers
are drilling each evening on funda
mentals of America’s favorite win
ter sport. Passing, faking, defen
sive tactics and similar basic parts
of the game have been stressed to
date, with no actual scrimmage
having as yet been allowed.
Season Opens Next Month
First pre-season games are only
three weeks away, however, and in
the near future Hobson will get
down to the intricacies of his fast
breaking system. The past few
practice sessions have found the
lads setting up a few plays and
beginning to develop a definite of
fense.
An interesting list of pre-season
engagements has been lined up for
the Duck hoopers, with contests
against such formidable independ
ent organizations as Union Oil and
Multnomah club on the slate, not
to mention a California trip over
the Christmas holidays. Several
games are to be played in San
Francisco and the bay region.
Oregon’s conference opener is
less than two months away. Rich
Fox and his always colorful Idaho
Vandals will help the Webfoots
blow off the Northern Division lid
here January 13 and 14.
Harvard authorities have dis
missed as highly improbable press
reports concerning a new and
deadly weapon reported recently
invented by Guglielmo Marconi, in
ventor of wireless telegraphy. The
device is said to be able to stop
internal combustion engines from
a considerable distance.
