THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL When some one tries to stuff that old comparative score hooey down ycur throat in conversation about the forthcoming Washington State game, don’t swallow a mite of it. Sure, Washington State held Southern California to a tie, and Oregon took an unpleasant 26-to-0 drubbing.from that same team. The games were played on the seme field, and one-sided persons who specialize in mathematics and don’t understand psychology may be inclined to think that puts Sat urday’s Homecoming tussle in Cou gar claws without a struggle. No one, of course, is utsnay enough to give the Pullman bunch 26 points, but there's no denying that soma of the lads (not the wise ones) are favoring Washington State. Now, let’s get down to the pro verbial brass tacks. Oregon hasn't lost a game on Hayward field for seven years. Maybe you contend that there’s always a first time. Certainly, but records of that kind, almost invariably spur a team on ward, and playing on their own turfless gridiron is undeniably a big help to the Webfoots. * * * Also along the line of psychology is the jinx which Southern Califor nia has over Oregon. Whether it's really a jinx or not, the Trojan hoodoo lias been publicized so much that it has a definite effect on Webfoot teams. Washington State usually holds the sons of Troy to a close score and has there fore no such complex to combat. And here’s more proof that the Cougars shouldn’t be too much fa vored. When Oregon played down there the Trojans had the benefit of Los Angeles weather and Davie Davis. When Washington State deadlocked Howard Jones’ jugger naut, the Trojans played in cooi weather and didn’t like it and also played without the services of Da vie Davis. If you don't think Davis means a lot, ask Oregon players. He was in only a part of the first quarter against the Cougars. Now look at the statistics. Ev erybody has read of how the Tro jans piled up goodness-knows-how niuch yardage against Oregon while the Webfoots puddled around and lost almost as much as they gained. But how about Washing ton State’s yardage against USC? Well, the Cougars gained 81 yards from scrimmage and passes and the Trojans ran up 234. And that’s not close. Now that the Webfoots have completed a pass, you can expect more aerial maneuvers in future games. For instance, this Satur day, if the field is dry. Before the second quarter at Multnomah stadium last week, the Webfoots weren’t sure they had it in them to make a pass good. In fact, they were beginning, to believe it couldn't be done. But it was done, even if the pass was a wobbly little effort which Receiver Bob Braddock barely hung onto for a net gain of five yards. Who knows? Maybe the lads will open up with a, regular South ern Methodist assortment of over head plays before the season is over. However, we’re not expecting it. \ou don’t need an aerial attack (Please turn to page four) Yeomen, DUs, Kappa Sigs, and Co-ops Win Donut Tilts Warren’s Frosh Grid Squad Has Last Scrimmage Ducklings in Fine Shape For Friday’s Big Tilt; Players Still Fight for Opening Berths By ELBERT HAWKINS Coach John Warren's hard-work ing frosh gridders went through their final regular scrimmage last night in preparation for Friday's big game, and should—barring un foreseen casualties—go into the rook fray in tip-top shape. Larry Lance, end, and Melvin Passolt, guard, two lads who have been on the injury list recently, are back in the lineup again, and should see a lot of action Friday night in Corvallis. Passolt was out of both normal school games with a back injury and will be in his first game of the season. Fight for Positions Lance will have to beat out either Vic Reginato or Emery Hobbs for one of the flank posts, and Passolt is up against three good men at the guard positions. George Jones has been leading the trio to date with Bill Stein and Lloyd Beggs running a close sec ond. Three big boys are also in the running for opening spots at the :ackle position. Elroy Jensen, Jim Nifong; and Russ Inskeep are all conceded chances to start against the rooks. Either Bud Jacobsen or Ken Bowser will be the choice at center. Backfield Uncertain Skipper Warren has two good backfields of first string caliber from which to pick his opening juartet Friday and is uncertain vhich combination will start. Sev eral of his backs are qualified to jlay two different positions and ire ready to work anywhere. Bob Smith, the squad’s ace passer, can play either right half or quarter, md little Jay Graybeal plays either mlfbaek position. Either Smith, Dennis Donovan, >r Ron Husk will be Warren’s choice at the quarterback post. Left half is open to either George lessee, Graybeal, or Steve Ander son. For fullback the choice is easier, with Paul Rowe standing jut above his nearest rival. Bob Smith has an edge at right half but ms competition in Bill Rach. Warren will run his squad .hrough a tough workout tonight stressing offensive plays, and plans :o have a night drill on Hayward field on Thursday as the last prac :ice before Friday’s clash. Hockey Teams Start Practice Next Week Class teams in women's intra mural hockey will begin practices next Tuesday, in preparation for the tournament which will be played in a few weeks. Sue Mosh berger, in charge of hockey, asks that class managers organize their teams for next week’s workouts.

Tom Blackman, the Ducks’ triple threat sophomore back, is definite ly out of this week's game, alonar with Joe Huston, first string guard. Blackman, injured in the Stanford tilt, may be able to re turn to the lineup for the Husky oattle next week. Nilsen May be Ready “Hank Nilsen may be able to get nto the game for a few minutes, out Blackman and Houston will be cept on the bench to guard against •einjuring them for the Washing ton game,” stated Bill Hayward, /eteran trainer, last night. Washington State will be taking oart in her third of five home loming games this year, and she las yet to lose one. It is a boast >n the northern campus that home :oming games are meat for the awny Cougars and that Oregon vill be no exception. However, it ;eems that Hayward turf always eels good to the Webfoots' cleats, ind with the added fire that Homecoming has been known to irouse in the Oregon teams of the >ast, Washington State's “beat ’em n front of the grads” complex night get a setback. Goddard Carries Brunt The brunt of the Cougar offense vill probably rest on the very cap able shoulders of all-American Ed Joddard, “the Escondido Express”, juarterback. The fact that Babe Hollingberry rates him as the greatest back in coast grid history nay carry quite a bit of weight in dew of his record. The ability of loddard to punt was well demon strated against the Trojans last Saturday, when he averaged 43.9 t'ards on kicks, with none too good looting. Varsity Sketches By MORRIE HENDERSON BOB BRADDOCK You can say all you want about iricky side-stepping backs or your ine bruising fullbacks, but noth ing compares with a half back who slices through a small hole off tackle and then picks up his knees md heads for the goal line with full speed. This fellow Bob Braddock, a se nior and a two-year veteran on the Oregon eleven, can pack the pigskin in just that manner. Heavy enough, 180 pounds, so that he doesn’t have to dodge or run away from the secondary defense, Brad dock can run over the opposing backfield and still keep his feet and momentum. He proved that in the Idaho game Saturday when he tan 51 yards for a touchdown on an off-tackle play. When asked what he thought about the southern brand of foot ball as compared with the Coast type, Braddock quit smiling and said, “They can say all they want to about those fancy Texas teams but I think that the type of ball that the Pacific Coast conference plays is the better. Of course the fans get a bigger kick out' of see ing the ball flying through the air and changing hands four or five times on a play but after all, a team is going out to win ball games, not to please the public as wrestlers do. Why not win a game by one touchdown on a line plunge from the four-yard line rather than Duck-Cougar Game To Be Witnessed by Progratn Vendors Students interested in selling programs at the Oregon-Wash ington State game Saturday are | notified to see Don Casclato or i Howard Overbook in the Ore i gana office after l o'clock any 1 day until Friday. A chance to make money and see the game is offered to those who turn out. Hoop Practice Continues on Igloo Floor Regular basketball practice will open at McArthur court the first of next week, and any unheralded candidates for the team should re port tonight for preliminary drill. Coach Howard Hobson is holding pre-season practice this week for all aspirants except lettermen, and wishing a tryout are urged to re port. Starting Monday, practice sessions will bo devoted to tested players. Five lettermen are in school at present, and there is a possibility that two more may enroll in Jan uary. Dave Silver, John Lewis, Bill Courtney, Ken Purdy, and Bill Harcombe are the veterans on hand. Sam Liebowitz and Chief McLean will be eligible should they enter school. Other men counted upon by Hob son include Wayne Scott and Ray Jewell, varsity reserves last win ter; Laddie Gale, Bobby Anet, Wal ly Johansen, Urgel Wintermute, Ford Mullen, Gale Smith, and George Jackson, sophomores, and Bob Becker and Jack Hodgen, transfers. Several more prospects may re port at the close of football season. Dale Lasselle, Bob Braddock, and Vernon Moore are gtiddeis who flash at the hoop sport. be forced to score four touchdowns to win by the reckless, wide-open, razzle-dazzle method?” ‘‘And those fancy teams aren’t doing so well, after all,” Bob con tinued as we walked into the Sig ma Chi house. “Take that Rose Bowl game last year between Sou thern Methodist and Stanford. The Mustangs were a great offen sive team and the Indians were a great defensive team. The result was that when Stanford scored first, they froze up defensively and Southern Methodist was beaten. Again this year Ohio State beat Pitt on straight football and a strong defense. That’s the type of ball we play at Oregon. We score and then wait for the breaks. Sometimes they come and some times they don't but it’s a lot easier than being on the offensive all the time.” _ Harada Sails for Japan After Visiting Harvard Dr. Jiro Harada, staff member of Tokyo, who gave a course in Oriental art at the University (,f Oregon last year, sailed for Japan yesterday.
