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

Betas Down Kappa Sigs,

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.

Varsity
Sketches
By MORRIE HENDERSON
Don't let Dale Lasselle's weight
fool you when you see it on the
football programs. 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.”

Frosh Prepare
For Next Game
With OSC Rooks
Squad Given Light Drill
After Friday’s Victory
Over SONS; Schedule
Scrimmage
Coach John Warren’s Oregon
frosh football squad, heroes of Fri
day’s sensational 26-to-6 victory
over the highly rated Southern
Oregon normal school eleven, start
ed preparations last night for their
third game of the season, which is
set for two weeks in the future.
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

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.

Ducks Return From l
Palo Alto Fracas; 11 |
Shows Power, Drive \
Webfoots Tie Score After
Early Card Touchdown
In First Half; Lasselle
Leads Offense
• By WENDELL WYATT
A proud band of Oregon football
players returned to Eugene Sunday
evening bringing back with them
from Palo Alto the record of being
the first University of Oregon
football squad not to have been
beaten by Stanford. 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. Punting
