A curious passerby who saw the shrouded, inert figure between the straining carriers, would have wondered. Perhaps, if his curiousity were overwhelming, he would inquire as to the identity of the outstretched “thing.” Luck holding good, he would be allowed to lift the sheet and peer under. Suddenly dilated eyes would have seen the gently moaning, tortuously twisted body. A wierd, wounded this. A severely injured DOPE BUCKET. =* * Yes, mates, we .might even say a fatally injured dope bucket, what with the slack wallets of those numerous Washington supporters, who would bet any sum on Wash ington and give as high as 13 points to the Oregon taker. The conservative Wall street brokerage house of By an & Co. offered odds of 2-1 against the Webfoots. * * * Another thing, beside mazurna, that was brought back across the Columbia by the invaders was the football championship of the Northwest. The Ducks are undisputed champions of the whole area by virtue of their inspired play. LOOK IT Standing of the Northwest teams of the Pacific Coast conference: Won Lost Tied Oregon . 3 0 0 Washington . 3 10 Washington State . 3 10 Oregon State . 12 1 Idaho . 1 4 0 Montana . 0 4 1 Punting supremacy of the West was at stake when Stan Kiordan went up against Washington's left footed Elmer Logg. Neither player had been outkicked during the 1933 season. Logg booted nine that averaged 38.8 apeice to shade Oregon’s three kickers, who averaged 36.5 on eleven tries. Of these eleven kicks, one was a poorly struck ball which traveled but eight yards off Dalt* Laselle’s foot. Jerry Donnell whipped out three that sailed between 33 and 35 yards, Kiordan put his hoof behind seven 39 yarders, which performance established him as Grand Exalted Puntertate of the West, by the margin of a mere handsbreadth. Tall talk of the Oregon “jinx” was renewed as the Webfoots continued to storm the Husky citadel in the same way that they have been doing since their last defeat there in 11)27. Three times Elmer Logg had a chance to tie or win the ball with comparatively simple kicks. Five out of six of his previous boots from placement had been success ful. Now, as you know, his average has dropped to five out of nine. Holding the ball for Logg, in his other tries of the year, was Jimmy Cain. Last Saturday, Waskowitz did the holding on all three. A little thing like that might account for Logg’s sudden wild streak. & # # in looking up a little comment on the game, by Wash ington sport writers, we find the following, written by Loyal Brougham of the Seattle PI, the Northwest’s best keeper of the atlieltie archives: “Outside of those breaks (meaning the failure to convert or kick one of the field goals, and the offside penalty which cost Washington a touchdown), Oregon was the better football team—better defensively, more alert, and stronger in the quarter-backing department.” 5Ir w Both Oregon and Washington lost a valuable man in lust -Saturday's tilt. Washington's regular tackle, Jack McKenzie, and Frank Michek, Oregon's line ripping full back, were put on the shelf for the rest of the season. Michek's chances for a place on the East-West team were just about nullified when he went out of the game in the first quarter with the lateral ligaments of his left knee torn. Without his injury, the possibilities of Michek's getting an invitation to play in the New Year's classic were great, as he would be the only graduating fullback in the con ference, if the Cardinals and their own Bobby Grayson receive the Lose Bowl bid. Tough luck for a crashing defensive and offensive threat who would have given Cali fornians an eye full of the art of shredding the forward wall. ■* # ■* If that which the players, sports writers, fans, and radio announcers say is any criterion of what it take to be an all-American, Loss Carter is one this very minute. “The best man on the field by l’"-,” is the consensus. That’s all that need be said in view of the bang up ball game played by By Haines and Ed Nowogroski, who alone made 101) yards of the Husky's scrimmage gains. The rest of the “grandest left side on the coast,” meaning Del Bjork and -Stan Liordan. was a driving iron wall of relentless fury. Judges of ability must not overlook one of these conference players in picking the all-coasts and the all-Americans. CASWELL EUGEN'E TEACHER John E.

Michek Lost To Ducks for Gael Game Joy Over Washington Triumph Dimmed hy Injury to Fullback Star; St. Mary’s Next Rejoicing over Oregon's inspired 7-to-6 triumph at the expense of Washington Saturday was forced to share the spotlight with the somber shadow of Old Man Injury in the Webfoot gridiron camp last night. A wonderful victory was won on the turf of the University of Washington stadium, but a won derful fullback was lost. Frank Michek, mighty “Scappoose un limited" of Oregon football, has played his last game under Web foot colors. Early in the first quarter, in the midst of Oregon’s triumphant touchdown drive, Michek was in jured. The plunging spearhead of Prink Callison's “cruncher” play, was carried from the field in agony and a later diagnosis re vealed a torn lateral ligament in his left leg. Out of East-West Game Michek is definitely out of the St. Mary’s game, whicjj was to have closed his collegiate career. More tragic, however, is the fact that the thundering symbol of backfield' power will probably lose a chance to play in the East-West all-star contest in ®ezar stadium, San Francisco, on New Year’s day. Michek has been a standout in almost every Oregon grid game over a three-year period, and it more than likely that he would have received an invitation to the annual classic between East and West. Injury Similar to oCodding’s Now, according to Colonel Bill Hayward, little hope remains for Michek’s return to action in less than six weeks, and that will be much too late. Unless the mighty line mutilator from Scappoose plays professional football next year, his sparkling performances on the gridirons of the nation are forever a thing of the past. Michek’s injury is similar to that suffered by Clarence Codding, Webfoot guard, early in the year. Codding was out for seven weeks. With exception of Michek, Ore gon's doughty warriors returned from the north in almost perfect condition. Bud Goodin suffered a slight recurrence of his old ankle ailment, but will undoubtedly be ready when his mates line up against the Galloping Gaels of Slip Madigan a week from Saturday. Replacement for Michek Needed What worries Callison most as practice for the St. Mary’s strug gle begins is finding a capable re placement for Michek. Jerry Don nell performed in fine fashion af ter relieving the “cruncher" full back in the Husky game and is Now Is the Time To Select CHRISTMAS CARDS . . . while stocks are complete and you can choose those most appropriate.

After Donnell there’s Chuck Bracher, who didn't even make the Seattle trip, and Dick Bishop, a reserve quarterback who under studied Michek at full last year. Bracher is an outstanding defen sive player and should be able to earn the second string position. Several Ducks Stand Out In addition to Donnell, several Webfoot players were outstanding in the upset triumph over the Husky horde. Stan Riordan didn’t do all the punting, but when he did his boots carried their usual magic. Once he toed the oval out of bounds on the Washington 7 yard line and once he turned the same trick on the six. Budd Jones, whose leg injury has kept him on the bench for two weeks, stepped into action on short notice and not only filled the bill at his old right end post but was brilliant in doing so. Ross Carter, who captained the iWebfoots to their third victory under his lead ership this fall, was his usual stonwall self at left guard, and Del Bjork was as much a pillar as ever at left tackle. In the backfield Johnny Reisch man's surprising open field run ning and his usual steady block ing and defensive play were not able, as were the thunderous slashes and crashes of Bob Brad dock. Clarence Codding saw ac tion for the first time since the Utah game and performed up to standard. Better Grades? Try Typing Your l’apers and Notes. Kent a Typewriter—Tut It to Work.

The Sigma Nu team could not cope with the hard spiking and the last passing of the ATO vol leyball experts. Stars of the con test were Walker and Grout, of ATO, and Van Dusen and Stevens, of Sigma Nu. Sig Eps Take Chi I’sis Led by R. Cooper and D. John son, the Sig Eps staved off a sec ond game rally to drub the boys from the Chi Psi lodge in two straight games. The final record shows the SPE’s on the long end of 15-4 and 15-12 scores. J. Schloth and A. Wall were outstanding for Chi Psi. Alpha Hall Defeats Delta Epsilon In the surprise contest of the evening, Delta Upsilon was swamped by Alpha hall, 15-12 and 15-3. Alpha hall presented a strong offense during the entire contest and promptly squelched each attempted DU rally. Zela and Sigma Halls Stage War Two dormitory outfits, Zeta and Sigma halls, waged civil war in realistic fashion during their first game. Zeta held an early lead, only to be overcome by a strong Sigma drive. When the smoke had cleared the score stood Sigma 16, Zeta 14. The second game was easily won by Sigma 15-3. Stars of the game were ITall, for Sigma, and Law, for Zeta. Theta Chi Overcomes Fijis Theta Chi’s volleyball squad built up an early lead in their first game with the Fijis and rested on Frosh Hoopers Await Practice W arren Expects to Start Next Week No date has been announced for the initial freshman basketball practice but Coach Warren hopes to start rounding his men into shape some time next week. McArthur court is the only site available for practices and because of the varsity, the frosh will be able to work out there only at either 2:00 in the afternoon or 7:00 in the ecening. Several former high school stars are enrolled at the University but Coach Warren wants it understood that he has no idea as to what men will make up his squad and that all men turning out will have an equal chance. Previous experience on a basketball court is not nec'“ sary, according to "Honest John." Outstanding prospects available for the Frosh five include Bob Anet and Wally Johansen, Asto ria, Rod Hansen and Ford Mullens, Olympia, Slim Wintermute and Mel Olsen, Longview, Gale Fouts, Spokane, and several other former high school players from Portland elsewhere. The Oregon State Rooks have been practicing for some time and five men have already stood out over the rest. The present set-up in the Orange camp includes Riss man, a 6 foot 5 inch Astorian, at center, the two Sandoz twins from Corvallis at forwards, Jay Mercer and Johnnyk Alexander, two foot ball stars, at guards. their laurels to win by a 15-7 score. They took the second contest to the tune of 15-8. The Fijis scored at will throughout but could not muster their scoring drives at the moments necessary for victory.
