THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL Ed Goddard is only another ball player to Oregon's Webfoot grid men, but to the 15.000 or more Homecoming fans who'll fill the confines of Hayward field tomor row Ed will be an all-American. Most real grid bugs think noth ing at all of trudging two or three miles merely to catch a glimpse of the number on an all-American’s back. Maybe Mr. Goddard isn't an all-American, but everybody who i has seen him and many who’ve l only read of him are calling him that. Yes indeed, the “Escondido express" should be worth seeing. That brings up the question of whether or not one player can i make a football game or a foot ball team. Of course he can't, but; the moment you think of Wash ington State, into your mind pops j the name of Goddard. You’ve | heard of him as a man who can do practically everything on a grid iron, and you’re probably anxious to see for yourself. Tomorrow you will. In the individual starring line, Oregon has no one to compare with Goddard, at least no one who has! z had the benefit of so much public-1 ity. But Bob Braddoek is my idea [ of a back who ought to be in the running for all-coast. He’s a 60 minute player in any man's ball game. He spots the enemy’s best plays and crosses ’em up. He’s one of the best backs on the coast in the matter of pass defense. As for Braddock’s offensive abil ity—well, remember last Saturday. If you saw his 60-yard touchdown gallop, you know what he can do.! He’s done it before and will again, j Jimmy Nicholson and Dale Las selle are flashy ball toters and they i can chuck the onion through the j void* in fairish style. Nick and, Dale, however, aren’t as valuable to the team as Braddoek. Indications are that next year the Webfoots will be four-deep ev erywhere. Prospects are for the greatest team since way back. Braddoek, however, will be gone, and how the lad will be missed! Under the lights at Bell field to night will take place a football game in which absolutely anything may happen. The frosh of Oregon and the rooks of Oregon State will do the bumping around, and all the gigantics under the sun (under , the moon, if you want to be tech nical) may occur. The Ducklings and Beaverlings always put on a show for the cus-! tomers. They’re more or less un known quantities to each other when they go out on the field, and they provide the onlookers with thrills aplenty. This fall Honest John Warren ( has a squad which ought to take Howard Maple's bunch into the proverbial camp. But you never can tell. Warren admits he has a fair team, and when the ex-Astoria pigskin professor admits anything, it means his boys are okay. At Washington State, as you’ve probably read, they had a strike or something last spring because Victorian blue laws were running . the campus. Gals and guys could- j n’t stroll together down campus , lanes, all students had to be tucked in their beds by 10—or was it 9?— , and all that sort of thing. Well, history tells us that the See them today! Burch Shoe COMPANY McDonald Theatre Bldg. 1032 Willamette I 1 Frosh and Rooks Battle on Corvallis Field Tonight Webfoots Ready for Homecoming Battle With WSC Tomorrow i Mental Attitude of Squad Goods asCallison Adds Final Polish; Cougars To Arrive Today By BRUCE CURRIE Head Coach Prince Gary Calli son sent his grid squad through a long session of dummy practice and drill on fundamentals yester day. The drill terminated under the lights on Hayward field. This workout, which he presented a final tuning up and polishing of the Webfoot offense and defense for the big game Saturday with Babe Hollingberry's Cougars, was devoted almost entirely to smooth ing out the rough edges. Mental Attitude Tops The mental attitude of the entire squad is tops for the game, and while the Webfoots realize that they have a tough foe in the Cougars, they certainly aren't giving them any edge. “Whether Ed Goddard is in the game or not, we will have a tough bunch to face out there," a state-' ment made by Ed Farrar, seems to express the sentiment of the entire Oregon team. They know that Goddard is good but to them he is just another player to face, not by any means super-human. The Cougars haven’t met Oregon since 1926, the first year of Hol lingberry's regime. That year Washington State won 7 to 6. The two teams have met on the grid iron 14 times in the 35 years of rivalry, beginning in 1901. great changes in the world have been rapid ones.

Varsity Sketches By MOKRIE HENDERSON Cooperation on the campus took i lively little hop last Friday light when the boys’ and girls’ co >ps went “Dutch treat” on the first jet-together party since the co jperative movement started at the Jniversity a year ago. The girls paid half of the dam iges but there were strings at :ached to this. The gals wanted he privilege of choosing their part lers. A bit extraordinary, no loubt, but the lads agreed. There was considerable biting of ’ingernails on the part of the boys mtil the list came out showing vho was to go with whom, but the 'iris showed good choice and the vanity of the boys reached a new ligh. About half of the couples dined it the girls’ house and the rest ate it the Campbell co-op. After din ler some gathered at the Camp jell house for dancing, and others vent to a show.

Bill Winston, Delt, defeated Owen Miller, Yeoman, 6-4, 6-1; Frank Beck, Fiji, downed Frank Roberts, Yeoman, 6-0, 6-1, and Glen Eaton, ATO, rallied to over come Ed Luckey, Beta, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. Winston who has played in pre vious campus tournaments, took advantage of his experience to down his fighting opponent in straight sets. Beck, from the ranks of the Fijis, dropped Rob erts after a hectic session of re verses. The match between Glen Eaton and Ed Luckey proved to be one of the best contests played. After losing the first set, Eaton came back in the second and third to outscore the hard-driving Luckey. The men were evenly matched and the majority of the games ran to deuce. Ping Pong Matches Slated This Week All-campus ping pong singles and doubles schedules have been posted in the McArthur court dressing room, and all first round matches must be played by October 26.

Sigma Chis and Theta Chis Hold Top in Football j Sigma Nu, Dell Teams Also Triumph in 4th Round Donut Frays; No Games Today The Sigma Chi touch football team turned back a determined DU crew, 1 to 0, last night on the intramural field, to maintain its undefeated standing. An overtime period was necessary to decide the hard-fought battle. Theta Chi also remained on the undefeated list with a 7 to 0 win over the Kappa Sigs. Delta Tau t>elta stayed in the running for the championship by winning a tight game from Camp bell Co-op, 1 to 0. The Delts have won three games and lost one. The Sammies lost their fourth straight game, this time to the Sigma Nus by a score of 18 to 0. Sigma Chi 1, Delta Upsilon 0 Joe Gordon and Wayne Valley, Sigma Chi’s aces, completed a pass good for ten yards in the overtime period necessary to decide the Sigma Chi-DU game and enabled their team to grab the game, 1 to 0. A furious battle raged all through the game, with neither team able to score, although each threatened the other’s goal at times. Both completed some nice passes. Ben Forbes and Stan Smith were firebrands for the DUs. while Valley and Gordon sparked the Sigma Chis, as usual. Theta Chi 7, Kappa Sigma 0 The Kappa Sigs’ inability to complete passes resulted in their defeat by Theta Chi, 7 to 0. The first half ended with neither team being able to score. Henry Minger, Theta Chi, intercepted a pass on the loser’s 20 and went over for a touchdown before a surprised Kappa Sig team could stop him. Ken Phillips converted to make the score 7 to 0 in favor cf the Theta Chis. Theta Chi maintained its un beaten standing by virtue of this win. Delts 1, Campbell Co-op 0 The Delts required an overtime period to take a fighting Camp bell Co-op team into camp, 1 to 0. Intercepted passes were prevalent throughout the game, with the teams getting about an equal share of them. A penalty for roughing and a fumble put the Campbell men back on their own three, where the Delts took the ball and tried for a score. The Co-orp boys broke up the attack, however, and took the ball on their 20. Jay Scruggs and Scott Fleck worried the Co-*op crew plenty with a com bined passing and running attack, but could not get together enough to score. Sigma Mu 18, Sammies 0 John Dick, lanky Sigma Nu end, accounted for all three scores made by the Sigma Nus against the Sammies. Each time the touch downs came on passes from Bill Van Dusen to Dick. The Sammies showed very little scoring ability and only once slipped through a tight Sigma Nu defense to com plete a long pass. It was the fourth game the Sam mies have lost and the second Sig ma Nu has won. Sigma Nu failed to make a conversion and the game wound up 18 to 0. Send the Emerald to your friends.

Year’s Donut Sports Listed; Swimming Out With the possible exception of swimming, this year's intramural sports program will be essentially the same as that of last year, ac cording to Professor Paul Washke, director of intramural sports. Late completion of the new gym nasium, which is scheduled for the first of the year, will necessitate constant use of the tank by the varsity and frosh teams. This will make it impossible to carry such a heavy schedule as intra mural swimming would demand. This situation will have no ef fect on other winter sport sched ules. “A” and “B” team competi tion will be scheduled in basketball, volleyball, and handball. Regular all-campus boxing and wrestling will be held as usual. Interhouse softball, golf, and ten nis will be held during spring term. All-campus events of handball and ping pong will be played in both singles and doubles.

It will be the thirty first engagement of their long grid history. Both teams are in perfect shape and will go into the contest at full strength. They have been running through long sessions of practice during the last two weeks in prep aration for the battle, devoting a large share of the time on offens ive plays. Howard Maple, rook coach, has centered his practice this week on a passing attack and openly admits that his eleven will fill the air with passes. Scoring Anticipated Coach Warren worked his frosh gridders all of last week on the same type of scoring maneuvers, and his team is also expected to shoot the works. Most of the rook hopes of vic tory are openly placed on the abil ity of Frank Chase, 155-pound quarterback, to get through the Oregon yearling eleven. Chase, who is the main cog of the rook attack, calls signals and is a real triple threat. He is a shifty run ner, and an accurate passer, being rated along with Johnny Alexan der, Orange varsity left half. The Duckling backfield is just as sensational, however, and Coach Warren will place a formidible combination on the field, well for (Please turn to tai/c jour) PROBABLE'STARTING LINEUPS Kooks Frosh Adams .LE.
