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. The

All Conference Teams
On Difficult Schedule,
4 California Teams

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

ference members—Southern Cali
fornia, California, Stanford, and
U. C. L. A.—will be played, three
of them on foreign fields. All oth

the state of Oregon, and Oregon
students will have an opportunity
to see six games.
The full nine-game varsity sched

NYA Jobs to Go
To 325 Students
848,000 Available; Need,
GPA Will Determine the
Disposition of Jobs
The NYA appropriation for this
year will be approximately $48,000,
about the same amount as was
granted for student aid last year,
and will be divided among not more
than 325 graduate and undergrad
uate students.
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. Pallett,
executive secretary, Virgil D. Earl,
Dean of Men, Miss Janet Smith,
employment secretary, and J. O.
Lindstrom, business manager.

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.

Coast Gridiron Race
Tossup as All Teams
Boast More Strength
Washington Is Rated Tops
By the Prognosticators;
USC Plans Comeback
After Sojourn in Cellar
High on his throne sits that mon
arch of autumn athletics, King
Football, and eager for dope and
action is ever-paying and ever-en
thusiastic John L. 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.
