VV ct'fool!1! Watch the Webfoot*! Webfoot Grid Squad Eyes Opening Fracas With Portland Here Callison's Crew Stronger In Reserves; 40 Men Drill Daily Preparing For Tough Slate After ten days of strenuous “daily double’’ practice sessions, the University of Oregon’s 1936 varsity football team looms as a dangerous opponent for any aggre gation on the Pacific slope—or elsewhere. More reserve strength is respon sible for an outlook definitely bet ter than at this time a year ago. Able gridders are three deep at al most every position, especially in the backfield. New face in Webfoot coaching circles this fall is Dick Reed, for mer Oregon end;, who now returns to his alma mater to aid Head Men tor Prink Callison as end coach. . Gene Shields, line tutor, and Bill ‘ Hayward, veteran trainer, are back from last year’s coaching staff. Pilots Here Friday First game for the Webfoots will be on Hayward field next Friday night, when the University of Port land Pilots, always a worthy foe, come to Eugene. Then the Oregon gridmen pack up for Los Angeles and a game with Southern Califor nia's formidable Trojans October 3. Later in the season they will be back for five more home appear ances. Washington State, U. C. L. A., Washington, Idaho, and Ore gon State will all be met in the state this fall, and students will have an opportunity of watching their team in half a dozen home games. Why are the Webfoots better than last season? Critics up and down the coast aren’t placing Ore t gon too high on their pre-season forecasts, but they haven’t been watching Callison’s crew in prac < tice maneuvers. Squad Inexperienced Oregon’s aggregation will be in experienced, for a large percent age of the men counted upon for heavy varsity duty are sophomores and reserves. There are, however, some dozen lettermen, and pros pects are for an evenly balanced outfit. Counted upon to bear the brunt of the offense this fall are three veterans from last year’s back field—Dale Lasselle, Bob Brad dock, and Frank (Bud) Goodin. All three were stars a year ago. Las selle was the triple threat flash of last season’s crew, and Coach Cal lison prophesies that this year he will be one of the most improved backs in the conference. Braddock, leading ground gainer of last sea son’s squad, is certain to be a yard gatherer of note again, and at full back Bud Goodin will be the power behind Callison’s famed “cruncher” and “double cruncher” plays. Good in worked at left half last fall, but now has been moved to fullback, where he follows in the footsteps of Frank Michek and Mike Miku ulak. Kennedy Adds Power Completing the tentative first string backfield is Don Kennedy, surprise package of the squad. Kennedy weighed only 155 pounds a year ago, but last spring prac tice he turned up with 20 added pounds and all the fight in the world and nailed down the blocking quarterback post. He now scales almost 180 and is ready for a big year. The first string line at present stacks up with John Engstrom at left end; Captain Del Bjork, left tackle; Joe Houston, left guard; 'Ed Farrar, center; Tony Amato, j right guard; Kenyon Skinner, right tackle, and Lief Jacobsen, right end. All are lettermen, but none save Bjork and Amato are def initely certain of starting sports when the Webfoots square off against the Pilots Friday night. Bjork Leading Tackle Captain Bjork, a 203-pound blond Viking from Astoria playing his third year in Oregon colors, is all-American timber. He is un disputably one of the leading tack les in the country. Last season Bjork gained all-coast mention, and, barring injury, should be in line for greater honors this fall. Amato, squat little junior, is ap parently a sure shot at guard. Tony broke into the regular lineup a year ago, and now looks better than ever. Farrar and Vernon Moore are waging the same battle as last season at the pivot position. Far rar, two-year letterman, and Moo rar, two - year letterman, and Moore, one-striper, divided center duty last fall, and wall probably do so again. Third center with pos sibilities is Denny Breaid, up from the reserves. Denny is a tough lad and seems destined for action. Still a fourth likely center is John Beld ing, sophomore, Belding suffered a dislocated shoulder a week ago, but will soon return to action. Guards Numerous Guards are plentiful. Behind Amato and Huston are no less than seven Husky young men with hankerings for varsity service. At right guard is Bill Estes, letterman two seasons ago, out last year with injuries. Estes was a near regu lar in 1934 and is sure to see ac tion in the coming campaign. Be hind Estes on the right side of the line are Johnny Pastega, Merle Pe ters, and Elmer Williams, all soph omores. All are promising. .belt guard reserves are i\eno Giavanini, Chan Berry, and Cece Walden, the latter a converted full back. Giovanini is a hard lad for opponents to handle and is appar ently the best of the second-year crop. Berry has been a reserve center for two years, but last spring was shifted to guard. Berry, Giovanini, Pastega, and Estes are all Klamath Falls high school grad uates. Pat Fury Returns Tackles behind Bjork are Pat Fury, brother of former first string center Con Fury; Cliff Morris, sophomore, and Chuck Shimomura, reserve. Behind Skinner on the opposite side of the line are Bill Foskett, hefty reserve; Chuck Bracher, another reserve, moved from fullback, and Joy Smith, sophomore. End is the only really weak po sition. on the team. Six men of al most equal strength and experi ence are vying for terminal berths, and two of the lads should be of first string caliber before the con ference schedule begins. Engstrom was a near regular at tackle a year ago, but is inexperienced at end. Jacobsen, at present holding the regular spot on the other extrem ity of the forward wall, earned his spurs as a replacement for Budd Jones last fall. Four Sophomore Ends Four sophomore wingmen are working enthusiastically under the tutelage of Dick Reed, whose work with the ends i3 proving highly valuable. The second-year men, all promising, but none polished, are John Yerby, Bob Hinman, Hank Nilsen, and Bud Robertson.

Webfoot Varsity Faces 9 Games; 6 to Be in State All Conference Teams On Difficult Schedule, 4 California Teams Will Be Played Oregon gridiron prospects are much improved over last season, and every bit of that improvement will be necessary if the Webfoots are to come through with flying colors in the schedule that lies be fore them. The slate lined up for Prink Cal lison’s outfit this fall is the tough est ever faced by an Oregon team. Every coast conference aggrega tion will be met, with the excep tion of Montana, and to all intents and purposes the Grizzlies are not members of the conference. Four California Foes All four of the California con ference members—Southern Cali fornia, California, Stanford, and U. C. L. A.—will be played, three of them on foreign fields. All oth er games will be in the confines of the state of Oregon, and Oregon students will have an opportunity to see six games. The full nine-game varsity sched ule follows: Sept. 25—Portland at Eugene. Oct. 3—U.S.C. at Los Angeles. Oct. 10—Stanford at Palo Alto. Oct. 17—Idaho at Portland. Oct. 24—Washington State at Eugene. Oct. 31—Washington at Port land. Nov. 7—U.C.L.A. at Portland. Nov. 14—California at Berkeley. Nov. 21—Oregon State at Cor vallis. The new library will be com pleted by December 1, University officials have announced. ‘ EDWIN D.

Of the 700 students who have applied for NYA work, less than half will be assigned to jobs on the campus this quarter. Only students who seriously need finan cial help, and who have good scho lastic standing, are being consid ered. Advanced students must have at least a B average, and new students, a grade average not below that of the high school from which they graduated. The average wage of an NYA worker is $15 a month, although this amount may vary from $10 to $20, according to the need of the student. In assigning the work, the com mittee in charge is trying to give the students the kind of jobs in which they are especially interest ed. Different types of work in clude typing, research in various departments, translating, labora tory work, and general office work. Also, students will help lo cal organizations, such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Persons interested in NYA are asked to turn in their applications at the office of Earl M. Pallett, chairman of the general commit tee on NYA, as soon as possible, in order that the committee may finish making assignments. Students who prefer a different kind of work than that to which they have been assigned may see Dean Karl V. Onthank, ohairman of the subcommittee in charge of assigning work, A. B. Stillman, assistant professor of business ad ministration, or Miss Harriet W. Thomson, professor of physical ed ucation. Members of the general commit tee on NYA are Earl M.

Freshman Slate Lists Five Tilts; First October 3 John Warren Will Begin Work With Yearlings Late This Week; Husk And Smith Are ‘Vets’ Freshman football at the Uni versity of Oregon will soon be in full swing, with the first game scheduled tentatively for October 3. On that date John Warren’s yearlings *vill journey to Astoria for a tussle with Oregon Normal school. As regular Duckling practice will not begin until next Friday, after registration, Warren has little time in which to prepare his squad for the battle with the Wolves. It will be a homecoming engagement for Warren, for he mentored the prep school lads at Astoria until last fall. Schedule Listed Other games on the freshman slate are two with the Oregon State Rooks, at Corvallis on Oc tober 23, and at Eugene on Novem ber 13; University of Washington Babes at Seattle on November 7, and Southern Oregon Normal school at Grants Pass on October 9. A sixth game may be arranged later. Until registration Warren will not know whom he will have for players. After opening practice, however, the genial tutor can waste little time getting acquaint ed with the lads. At least two freshman gridders can be listed as “veterans" al ready, even though they have never uonned Oregon football re galia. They are Ron Husk, former all-city guard at Franklin high of Portland, and Bob Smith, south paw halfback from Medford. Both enrolled at the University last January and have just one more term as freshmen. Husk, who was awarded the Zell trophy naming him as Portland's most valuable footballist in 1935, was converted into a blocking back in spring practice last term and is listed at that position now. Smith fhissed spring drill, for he was an outfielder on the Duckling baseball team. D. D. Gage Given Degree of Doctor From Michigan U. The degree of doctor of philos ophy has been conferred upon Daniel D. Gage, associate professor of business administration at the University of Oregon, by the Uni versity of Michigan, according to word recently received at the Uni versity. Dr. Gage completed his work in economics and business administration and his thesis this summer while in Ann Arbor. Dr. Gage's thesis, entitled "Land Title Assuring Agencies in the United States," is regarded as an outstanding contribution, and will soon be published under the spon sorship of the American Title as sociation, it was announced. Dr. Gage is a graduate of Stan ford, and received his master of business administration from Har vard in 1929. He has been on the University faculty here since that year. He has spent the past two years at Michigan doing research and completing his work for his doctorate. He will teach classes in real estate and in other business administration fields during the coming year.

Fan. Something in the fall atmosphere brings the lure of the gridiron, and this season on the Pacific coast one of the greatest arrays of games ever planned will greet football's public. Everybody’s question, of course, is: "How do the teams stack up?" Up and down the shores of the Pacific they’re picking Washing ton as the outfit to beat. All the Husky backs are on hand again— Cain, Logg, Haines, Noowogrow ski—and all but about two of Jim my Phelan’s linemen return. That ought to put the Seattleites up there. Trojans Plan Comeback Down south they’re heralding the comeback prospects of USC. The mighty Trojan warhorse of old is being wheeled into action, fitted with sophomoric parts, and pre pared for a season reminiscent of the roaring early ’30’s, when Troy crushed everything mercilessly be fore it. Those in the know pro claim that Howard Jones will pro duce this season—or else. California, not to be outdone, is also scheming a conquest of the conference. Stub Allison has been shifting some of his men around and then around again in an ef fort to get the most out of his ma terial. And, as always, the Golden Bears boast plenty of material. Bruins Appear Strong: U.C.L.A.? Coach Bill Spalding lost only two or three men at that institution, and the Bruins are planning to mop up the conference. They may do it, judging from all reports, even though one of the missing men is Chuck Cheshire, iron man of last season's crew. And Stanford isn't counting up on a season in the cellar, even though the prognosticators are putting the Indians there. The “wow” boys of the last three years are gone, but sophomores have risen to fill their shoes. Neverthe less, consensus is that Tiny Thorn hill's tribe is due for a ride down hill. Cougars Always Tough Up here in the Great Northwest, as aforesaid, Washington rules the roost in pre-season prognostica tions. But Washington State, with the brilliant Ed Goddard back for another year, isn't far behind. Babe Hollingbery always puts out a tough team, no matter what his material. Idaho and Montana are technic illy in the conference, but official y games played by the two teams ire “King's-x” as far as confer !nce standings are concerned. The Sandals stack up about as last year, according to dope, and the Grizzlies, with an entire veteran lineup returning, should be tough er than usual. That brings the wheel around to Oregon and Oregon State. Lon Stiner has a flock of veterans over at Corvallis, and that flock of old timers includes Jumping Joe Gray. They'll not be weak, those Beav ers, say experts. Webfoots Three Deep Oregon ?
