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.

John Warren’s Oregon freshman

pounded a strong Southern Oregon

The Ducklings started early,
scoring a touchdown on Gerald

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.

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.

breath, looked into the crystal ball, 1
and there was Minnie, kickin' the !
gong around. ‘‘Ah sees a big Injun 1

po' li'l duck and if yo’ think Ah'm I

"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

wil find them tough but the

Howard Jones and Davey Davis ;

“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

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

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.
