Stanford Jinx Smashed by Battling Oregon Football Squad THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Down in the village called Palo Alto they used to have, among other possessions, what was com monly known as a jinx. That jinx was a little item in ’he form ot an Indian sign which Stanford’s foot ball team held over Oregon's Web foots. Eleven times the jinx had been tested and on each occasion it had come through intact. Eleven times the Webfoots of the North were vanquished. Always, proverbially, there comes a day. And last Saturday was that day for the hoary old jinx which from the turn of the century had hounded Oregon teams. The hoodoo struck a snag. The snag was a fighting Web foot gridiron crew which wouldn't give up, not even when the jinx got off to a flying start with a touch down and conversion in the first quarter. The battling Webfoots fought right back, tied it all up, outplayed Stanford and the jinx, and would have triumphed with a few breaks and a few punts worthy of the name. * * * Y'essir, that 7 - to - 7 deadlock looks mighty sweet. Down around the bay all the scribes, prognos ticators, Monday morning quarter backs, and down-town coaches are calling the tie a great upset. They all picked Stanford. Upset or :io upset, it wasn’t a fluke. Oregon outgained Stanford on the ground, 189 yards to 143. The Webfoots flashed a 6-1-2-2 defense that gave the vaunted Indian pass ing attack very little chance. Tiny Thornhill’s men completed only seven of 24 aerial attempts. The Webfoots intercepted six. It took a 42-yard end run to give Stanford a tie. The Webfoots seemed stung by the early Stanford touchdown. Im mediately afterward they opened up with a fury that wouldn’t be denied. And after they had it tied up they outplayed the Redskins. If a few more minutes had been left in the last quarter they might have won. $ $ * The team rolled in from the South night before last in a half satisfied mood. The lads felt they (I’lcasc turn to payc jour) ATOs Pile Up 20-to-0 Score on Men’s Coop In Donut Grid Tussle Betas Down Kappa Sigs, Plii Delts Beat DUs, Sigmas Top Sammies In Other Contests The ATOs piled up the largest score yet made in intramural touch football when they romped over the Campbell Co-op to take yes terday's game, 20-0. Kappa Sigma fell before a determined attack by the Betas, 12-0; the Phi Delts took a 14-0 decision from the DUs and Sigma Hall won out over the Sam mies in a close contest, 1-0. Cliff Troland proved to be a thorn in the side of the Campbell men when he intercepted two of their passes, which counted for ATO touchdowns each time. Barr Palmer and Harold Weston were the ground-gaining duo for the ATOs. With Palmer doing the tossing and Weston on the receiv ing end, some nice gains were ticked off. The first ATO touchdown was a gift from the referee when one of the Co-op men interfered with the receiver. The pass was over the goal line when the interference was made and the play was called good. Bets, 12; Kappa Sigs, 0 The Betas ran a quick touch down over in the first few minutes of play to get the jump on the Kappa Sigs and scored again in the second half to make the count 12-0 at the end. Matt Pavalunas, for mer Raymond high school basket ball star, was the shining light of the Beta team with accurate pass ing. Rommel of Kappa Sig and Binford of the Betas turned in good performances. Phi Delts, 14; DUs, 0 An intercepted pass figured in the Phi Delts’ defeat of the DUs. Bill Crosby took a DU pass and scampered 20 yards for the first Phi Delt touchdown. Paul Jack son, aided by excellent blocking, ran 60 yards to return a DU punt for the other Phi Delt score. Ed Strohecker, former Grant high school kicking ace, accounted for both conversions, making the score: Phi Delts 14, DUs 0. -* Laddy"Gale”center on last year’s frosh basketball team, used his su perior height to good advantage in snagging Phi Delt passes.

He might weigh only 167 pounds, but look at “Cotton” Warburton from the 1933-34 Trojan teams and this year’s “Tippy” Dye from Ohio State. These light boys make up their deficiency in weight by great speed and brilliant running. Lasselle showed his sparkling ball carrying last year as a sopho more but he was still inexperienced and green despite three years of playing at Grant High in Portland and a freshman year under Irv Schulz. This fall, however, he is more polished, experienced, and has added passing and punting to his repertory. He is a triple-threat man if there should be one on the modern football team. Watch him go this year and next! “I suppose you want to know what I think about Pacific Coast football,” Lasselle fired at me as he started to dress for practice. “Well, I’ll tell you,” before I could answer yes or no, “The coast teams play just about the best ball in the country, and you can check that by the East-West games. Whether it is the weather or the coaches or the competition, I don’t know, but coast ball is tops. The eight teams in the conference now are all just about even, which will make the teams play better foot ball than in previous years to get to the top and the Rose Bowl.” That's a long speech for a foot ball player and especially when he is putting on thirty-seven different pads and protectors for a two hour scrimmage. None of these gridmen are fragile or boudoir athletes, but even the tough ones can get hurt and the coaches are taking no chances. When asked what his greatest thrill in football was, Lasselle re plied, “Remember that Washing ton game last year ? We were the decided underdogs against one of the crack teams of the year, and when Jerry Donnell scored that touchdown in the second half through that tough Husky line, boy, I just about went nuts.” Send the Emerald to your friends.

Warren ran his gridders through some brief calisthenics last night and then into a scrimmage against the varsity. The yearlings will travel to Cor vallis a week from Friday for the first game of their annual “little civil war” series against Howard Maple’s Oregon State rook team. The two elevens play the secopd contest of their series here on Hay ward field, November 13. These two games are always high points of the rook-frosh seasons and both clubs definitely point for them. Take to Air The Ducklings went to Grants Pass last Friday rated as under dogs, but, after being held at 6 to 6 for three quarters, took to the air and rushed over three touchdowns to subdue the weakening Sons. The whole frosh team performed in greatly improved style, the backs shining with numerous flashy runs. Little Jay Graybeal, shifty left half, came in for his share of hon ors, running 35 yards through the Normal team in the first quarter for the opening score, and passing to Vic Reginato, yearling end, who trotted 38 yards for another six points. Graybeal caught a short left-handed heave from Bob Smith for the third touchdown, and Smith rambled 65 yards on an intercept ed pass in the final minute of play for the last one. Line Shows Strength The whole frosh line showed im provement over last week’s game. Elroy Jensen and Russ Inskeep, tackles, were standouts of the driv ing play exhibited by the forward wall. Vic Reginato, flankman, was another shining light. v.. Sensational running and passing by the backfield drew considerable comment from the side lines. Paul Rowe, blond threat at fullback drove into the normal school line numerous times on short powei thrusts for nice gains. Starring ir addition to the aforementionec Graybeal and his running mate Bob Smith, who starred at right half, was Jerry Donovan, who went in at quarterback for the tougl job of blocking. Coach Warier shifted Ron Husk, stocky Portlanc star, into the line to fill a hole a1 guard. Frosh Gridmen By BILL PENGRA PAUL ROWE Between plunging his massive body into the Frosh line and snag ging passes, “Schoolboy,” as he is often called, mentioned the fact that Benny Goodman’s swing mu sic would get his vote any day. This beautifully built blond, when persuaded to tell his life story, spurted out, “Bom in Vic toria, B. C. I’m 19, and like fish ing a great deal.” All of his fish ing is for salmon up in the lake country, which he believes is much more attractive than our Oregon scenery. He is well known about the campus as the Canadian who played Rugby football, and turns out for track to good advantage. His pet dislike is riding on busses to the frosh football games. When asked why he came to Oregon to 'play fullback, it was: “Well, I met Maury Van Vliet, and here I am.” As to a choice of clothes this smart young man wants to wear simply “smart” clothes. “Brunettes catch my eye quick est of all girls, but their personal ity is the way I size them up. But as far as that goes I haven’t seen any down here to compare with those up home.” That’s what he says.

Today Is Anniversay of Death of Gridder Back A year ago today University of Oregon football followers were saddened by the death of Walter Back, popular left halfback. Back, a big, blond triple-threat, was counted upon last season as one of the main cogs in the team, and his tragic death not only cast a shadow over the gridiron but materially weakened the squad.

The record be tween the two schools now stands at 12 games played with 11 vic tories for the Indians and one tie, the 7-to-7 game played Saturday. After Stanford had' pushed over a first period score, the Duck calm ly came right back with a fierce drive down the field to knot the count. Dale Lasselle's 40-yard dash to the Stanford 13 and his conversion of the extra point were the highlights of the drive. Pre-game predictions that Ore gon’s line play would be better than Stanford's were justified, sta tistics showed after the game. Oregon's net gain from scrimmage was 189 yards while the Cards could only advance 143 yards by line play. However, Stanford took a slight edge in total yardage by picking up 54 yards from passes. Oregon did not gain a yard through the air, as each of 8 attempted air thrusts were batted down. Besides holding last year’s Rose 'Bowl entrant to a tie, the Oregon ians returned in almost perfect physical shape. Only casualties were slight muscle injuries to Dale Lasselle and Henry Nilsen. First Downs Even Ten first downs were regist -ed by each squad during the contest. Outstanding men on the line for Oregon were Tony Amato, Vernon Moore, and Captain Del Bjork. Bob Braddock was very effective with his line plunges and Arleigh Bently performed well.
