THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL rjvciyuvuy stems 10 agree on one thing concerning this Stanford game today. To beat the Indians Oregon must halt that passing at tack. Tiny Thornhill’s troupe floundered around when it tried to advance on the ground against Washington State, and the Webfoot line stacks up with the Cougar front rank any day. But overhead—watch out. The cougars played a seven-man line against Stanford even after the Redskins began hurling the leather onion into touchdown territory. Oregon won’t play a seven-man line. That ought to mean a lot. No football team, be it the Chicago Cardinals or the Podunk junior high school Alleycats, is likely to stand off a good passing attack with a seven-man line. So there may be a good and suf ficient reason for Stanford’s com pletion of 17 passes against Wash ington State. To repeat, there is no reason under the sun why the Webfoots shouldn’t win, if they can only stop those deadly passes. * * * Mr. Glenn Hamilton, whom it seems more natural to call “Bones,” for reasons known to practically everybody, won’t be passing today, and he did a lot of the choicest pig skin firing at Pullman. Mr. Ham ilton’s relegation to the bench by injury won’t damage Oregon’s cause in any way. San Francisco papers proclaim a new passing arm in the Stanford array. The new' ballyhoo boy is one Tony Calvelli, who played cen ter until last week. Now Tony is in the backfield, and the lads around the bay are comparing him to Texas Christian's Sammy Baugh. Well, well. Anyway, the hullaballoo about Mr. Calvelli proves it all over again. Stop Stanford’s passing and you bottle the Indians up and store ’em in the attic for a week. This column isn’t doing any prognosticating this week. We’re leaving that unpleasant duty to our contemporary across the page, Mr. Orville Hopkins. However, a look or two at a game or two won’t harm anyone but the writer. Two thoroughly chastened teams will try to regain confidence at Multnomah stadium, where Oregon State clashes with California. Both were whacked unmercifully in opening major starts. California should win, unquestionably, but the sorry showing of the Bears against fat. Mary s indicates that the Beavers have a chance. Jimmy Phelan and Washington have been put on the spot by too much favorable publicity in Cali fornia, and Northwest football will take another rap from Los Angeles papers if the Huskies receive on the chin. UCLA has just about the same crew that did well enough last year, and rates on at least even terms with Haines, Cain, Logg, and company. And the lat est thermometer reading from Los Angeles is 96 degrees. Greatest traditional battle on the coast, in fact the only one, is slat ed for Moscow, Idaho. Idaho's Vandals, no matter how miserably they fare against other opponents, always give Washington State a bitter fight. The Cougars, how ever, seem to carry too many guns. San Francisco university takes a shot at Santa Clara’s dashing Broncs in the fog at ’Frisco tomor row. Another treat on the Sunday menu is St. Mary's versus Loyola I at Los Angeles. » * * Big games right and left and in the middle grace today’s nation- j wide slate. When Ohio State meets Pittsburgh in Columbus the na tional championship may well be the stake. No gridiron juggernauts more powerful than the Buckeyes and Panthers appear to be hanging around the horizon. Another national title ball game is the one hrnging together .Minne sota and Nebraska. Minnesota’s Golden Gophers have won 18 con secutive games over a period of three seasons, but those corn-fed Cornhuskers always are hard as nails. Southern California fell before Illinois by three touchdowns a year ago, but the Trojans ought to w in this time. They have what it takes. Fordham and Southern Methodist engage in another piece of inter Ducklings Drop Sons,26-6,in Tilt At Grants Pass Warren’s Frosli Squad Score Early and Run Up Surprising Margin On Strong Sons John Warren’s Oregon freshman football team turned on the heat at Grants Pass last night and pounded a strong Southern Oregon Normal team into defeat, 26 to 6. The Ducklings started early, scoring a touchdown on Gerald Graybeal's 35-yard dash around end in the first quarter. With that as a starter, they were soon on the way to easy victory. Evens Record The win evened the season’s rec ord for Warren’s crew, for the Yearlings dropped their opening start to Oregon Normal at Mon mouth.

Well, Toledo is where the good Dr. Spears is now coaching football . . . remember the doctor? . . . and did you ever hear of To ledo? . . . Santa Clara has scored six touchdowns this season and all six have been scored by different teams . . . Says Art Cohn in the Oakland Tribune, just after a bit of satire about the Bobby Morris mess: “Fortunately, the University of Oregon is such a weak sister this year that it can bring a dozen howetown officials to Palo Alto Saturday and still lose. Stanford is due to win a game on the field . . . and lose a movie decision.” . . . Nice guy . . . Here's some mod ern mechanics . . . Cliff Simpson of UCLA watched the Bruins play Montana at Los Angeles last Fri day night, jumped into a plane, and reached Seattle in time to see Washington and Idaho struggle Saturday afternoon . . . And he was back home in Los Angeles Sunday . . . Now we have the dope on just who Glenn Hamilton is . . . According to the Stanford Daily, which ought to know, he’s a broth er of Tom Hamilton, Navy coach. Search for the truth is the no blest occupation; its publication is a duty.

Ernst, associate professor of English in the Uni versity, has returned to the cam pus after conducting an anthro pological research study of the ceremonial masks of the ancient American Indians. Her research has been conducted among various Indian tribes along the Pacific coast north of Wash ington and in the Museum of the American Indian in New York, the Smithsonian Institute in Wash ington, and the Field Museum in Chicago. “The atom resembles an irritat ed woman.” Swarthmore college science students at last get the real lowdown from a Bartol Re search Foundation speaker. All-Campus Men Preparing For Annual Sports Intramural Board Urges Cooperation to Make Yearly Tournaments a Successful Activity The annual all-campus sports are slated to get under way by the first of next week. Monday has been set as the deadline for registering for tennis competition, and all those inter ested in signing up for golf, horse shoes, or ping pong are urged to do so before next Friday. It is hoped that the tennis tour nament can be held while good weather prevails. A. Finke and E. Faunt, defending doubles cham pions, are seeded number one po sition in their position. As they are both entered in singles compe tition, it is expected that they will offer plenty of competition to new comers. Horseshoe Tourney After a lapse of a year, an at tempt will be made to sponsor an other all-campus horseshoe tourna ment. Interest along this line has been lagging and all men with tal ent in barnyard golf should remem ber that titles are give both in sin gles and doubles. Campus divot-diggers will also be given a chance to show their wares in matches to be held in the very near future. A registration sheet is now on the bulletin board in the igloo and all golfers inter ested in all-campus competition must sign up next week. Ping Pong Listed Ping pong sessions are expected to be torrid this year with Eddie Hearn and Phoebus Klonoff, two campus aces in the running. Sin gles and doubles will be offered and intramural managers are asked to push this activity as much as possible. Each of these tournaments will be played off by straight elimina tion. Schedules will be set by the intramural board and all decisions made by the board are final. Frosh Gridmen By BILL PENGRA The following Is the first of a series of interviews with freshmen playing on John Warren’s football squad. RliSSEL INSKEEP “Insky” was born, in Portland more than two decades ago, and has since resided in the city of roses. His education was gained by attendance at Benson Tech and Hill Military schools, so he thinks that his coming to the University was a natural event. "It has always been my ambi tion to compete for Oregon," states this six-foot, 3-inch giant. A mere 220 pounds of weight, together with an impressive prep record, point toward a great athletic car eer. His skill in track as a shot ancl discus man has been known throughout the state for the past three years. A day of sickness is a rare oc currence in Russ’ life, and this he attributes to "an iron stomach which can digest anything.” And as far as music goes: "I can digest anything that has rhythm, even that rally band.” “I guess all of us would like to dress like Joe Esquire but since we can't, I just try to be neat in my sartorial attire.” Like many of the frosh ball hawks, he is majoring in physical education, with the intention of be coming a coach. For the present, he is living in the dorm, and en joys the company of the fellows very much. "My choice of girls is just the one I, have now in Portland. She’s a good dancer and has lots of per sonality. But, gee, I teel tali danc Maybe I’m Wrong By OHVAL HOPKINS The seer took pen in hand, a deep ( breath, looked into the crystal ball, 1 and there was Minnie, kickin' the ! gong around. ‘‘Ah sees a big Injun 1 jus’ kickin' de stuffins out of a 1 po' li'l duck and if yo’ think Ah'm I gonna keep up dis heah 'pah-don mah southe’n exposure' you is * crazy-nawts.” * "The score will be Stanford 14, 1 Oregon 6," the seer continued, < making good the threat regarding the down-south stuff. At this point ( I left the old hag to mutter into ! her pipe and went down the road 1 wondering who would help Jimmy ’ Coffis to win this one. Poor Jeemy * is carrying the sons of the Stan- 1 ford Red all by himself this year 1 but he's a stout little Greek and if Oregon goes down to defeat it’ll ' be Coffis’s idea. O, for a win over ’ those Stanfords tho. California took one big from St. ( Marys last week, being on the • south end of a 10 to 0 score. 1 They're still too good for old OSC * tho, and on a sawdust-F.nd-stuff 1 field at that. The score to be 20 * to 0. The cry goes 'round the pool 1 halls “George Cornell!” too. But don’t let them misle you, just * keep your eye on Floyd Blower * and you’ll have the winner, take 1 it from ol' Truesdale. In Los Angeles, Washington and J UCLA will scratch and make faces at each other in the Coliseum be fore 50,000 people and the same , number of empty seats. The Bruins are big something terrific, but , then so was Camera. Washington ! wil find them tough but the Huskies to win, 13 to 0. Sherman Chavoor of UCLA to star at ' center. Howard Jones and Davey Davis ; and all those guys are back at : Urbana, 111., to play the University 1 of Illinois, the bunch of slssips. i “Fight on, fer ol’ SC” my eye. It i won’t even be close, about 27 to 0, favor USC. The Illini are not even a first division club, as the base ball boys say, and SC is here this year, with a team in tow. The Cougars of Washington State undertake a campaign which does not figure to end in any “re treat from Moscow.” That means they play the University of Idaho and it is to win, 13 to 0. And let there be great care on the part of officials or else somebody may put up a beef. Idaho didn’t send three teams to the Rose Bowl tho, so perhaps they’ll accept defeat, if it comes, as gentlemen. St. Marys, the conqueror of the Golden Bear, plays Loyola of Los Angeles on Sunday. Both teams use the Notre Dame system so this will probably be the best game on the coast this weekend. The game will be played in ratty old (Please turn to page jour) ing with her. She’s just five feet. I wish I could shrink about three inches.” CAMPUS o SHOE SHOP at the FRONT DOOR OF THE CAMPUS Within Easy Reach of All Across From Sigma Chi Eugene Mattress 1122 Olive Phone Sl2 Palo Alto Scene of Gridiron Fray Today; Kickoff Is at 2 o’Clock Varsity Sketches By MORRIE HENDERSON DEL BiIORK Plenty of Pacific coast confer nce backfield stars are going to ;et tired of having a big yellow 82 m a green jersey smash into them ime after time this fall. That jer ey belongs to big, blonde Del Jjork, two-year veteran and cap ain of the 1936 Webfoot football earn. Bjork is playing his last year at ackle for the University of Oregon md the all-coast star is out to nake his best year through his mtstanding play and leadership, ’his big six-foot, 200-pounder is me of those quiet, smiling, never ay-mucn fellows off the field and n the dressing rooms, but the min ite he runs onto the gridiron Bjork hanges into a fast charging, fight ng football player who loves io day the game. “I prepped at Astoria high, play ng football three years, and dur ng that time we beat Salem high wice,” Bjork said laughingly in he dressing room as he spotted fimmy Nicholson, speedy little talfback walk in over to his lock r. Nicholson retaliated by saying hat he wasn’t playing those years >r .it would have been a different itory. “This new setup of having every earn in the conference playing all he others is the best thing for the 3acific coast conference,” said 3jork. “It not only determines he real champion, but it gives the ans the best football possible with 10 setups. Years before a school hat was not going to have a very ‘hot” team the next year would r.ake out an easy schedule assur ng themselves of a high standing n the conference. It’s different low. We play them all and Ore gon will be right up there with the >est of them.” Bjork slipped on his practice ersey over his huge shoulders and itarted to walk towards the foot >all field to practice for the forth coming Stanford game at Palo Al o, which automatically ended the nterview. Teams After First Win Of Coast Conference Season; Aerial Tosses Are Expected Ducks Weakened Indians Are Winners in All Previous Frays Between Schools By WENDELL WYATT An initial win in the 1936 coast conference race will be the goal of two fiercely fighting grid elevens this afternoon in Palo Alto as the University of Oregon does battle with Stanford’s once-powerful In dians. Kick-Off Is at 2 o'clock Both squads tasted defeat in their first league starts last Satur day, the Webfoots weakening in the final quarter to take a 26-0 drubbing from Southern Califor nia, and Stanford losing a close 14-13 contest on a disputed touch down. Last week's games mean little to either squad, however, as the Ducks are confident that after a week’s hard drill at pass defense and after battling two consecutive pass-throwing teams that they will be able to put up an invincible battle against passes. They also* feel certain that Tiny Thornhill’s men will not gain a damaging amount of yardage through their crippled forward wall.
