Webfoots Battle Cougar Team Here Today
THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
You were warned yesterday. I'm
going to forecast today's football
scores. Just why everybody thinks
a guy who pretends to write a
sports column is supposed to be a
seer as well as a scribe is hard to
fathom, but it seems to be the gen
eral opinion.
After all, why not? I can miss
as many as anyone else. I'm cer
tain of it, for I've tried every
scorecast and forecast going and
haven't won a cent or a cigarette.
Here's another angle. Perhaps
the idea of picking the “winners”
is to get ’em wrong. Most of the
boys seem to do that fairly well.
With few exceptions, most of the
choosers seem to flub the tough
ones and make hay on the soft
spots.
Aw heck! Enough of explana
tion. Here we go—
si« *
Orison-Washington State — As
hard as they romp, blit the Web
foots have It in them. The Cou
gars worked out at the stadium
yesterday afternoon, and they
looked hale and hearty, but Oregon
is about due to spark. Yep, I’m
behind our hids, 7 to 0.
Oregon State - UCLA — It's al
ways easy for Oregon teams to lose
in Los Angeles, for various rea
sons. Oregon State will lose today,
if for no other reason than that
the Bruins are too darn good. 13
to 0.
Washington - California — A
breeze for the Huskies. California
hasn’t clicked yet, and why should
today be different. 14 to 0..
Stanford - Southern California—
Stanford has had a week’s rest
and the Trojans are only seven
days out of a bitter brawl with
Washington State. Nevertheless,
the ayes are with Howard Jones’
two ball clubs to corral the bacon.
Why not 13 to 7 ?
Idaho-Nevada—Idaho, but it may
bp close.
Montana - Montana State — A
traditional game and a traditional
defeat for Montana State. Mon
tana to win handily.
Boy, do we pick ’em! Now let’s
head east, and you can. bank on
these any day but Saturday.
Notre Dame - Pittsburg — Pitt
stumbled before Duquesne, but
that’s nothing. The Dukes are
tough. So is Notre Dame, but the
psychological edge will be with the
chastened Panthers. So will the
scoring edge.
Minnesota - Purdue — Nope, the
Boilermakers won't stop the streak.
Minnesota by a touchdown.
Michigan - Columbia — Maybe
it’ll surprise you, but I say Colum
bia.
St. Mary's - Fordham—Almost
overlooked this one. Gaels will win
after a hard fight. That is, unless
the boys did too much hard study
ing ep route to the big town and
are too logey for football.
Marquette - Michigan State —
Two unbeaten and untied teams
now. One unbeaten and untied
team late this afternoon will be
Marquette.
Princeton - Navy — Princeton.
Harvard - Dartmouth — A toss
up, but edge to John Harvard.
Ohio State - Indiana—The Buck
eyes.
Duke - Tennessee — Those Vols
are always tough, hut Duke is the
king as well as the duke of all
Dixie, so the papers tell us, and I
proclaim victory for Wallace Wade
and his Blue Devils.
North Carolina - Tunlane—This
one’s tough, but why not Tulane.
The Green Wave seems to be wav
ing right along (ask Colgate) and
should engulf the Tar Heels, who
aren’t beaten or tied yet (unless
you’re reading this after about 8
p.m., our time).
Auburn - Georgia — Auburn to
win after a tight struggle.
Holy Cross - Carnegie Tech —
Holy Cross by a nose.
Baylor - Texas A. and M.—Bay
lor in a very close one.
Oklahoma - Nebraska—Nebras
ka.
Villanova - Boston U. — Vilian
ova.

Three Cou gar Bachs
Long Runs Give
Frosh Victory
Over Rooks 18-6
Jesse Goes From Own
5 on Half Kickoff;
Gravbeal’s Long Dash
Opens Scoring
By PAT FRIZZELL
CORVALLIS, Oct. 23—(Special)
Three sensational touchdown
dashes, all gains of over 75 yards,
gave an uncertain University of
Oregon freshman football team an
18-to-6 win over the Oregon State
rooks in a ragged game here to
night.
The rooks piled up a dozen first
downs to only four for the frosh
and fumbled only three times to
the ghastly Duckling total of
seven, but John Warren’s charges
struck like lightning from the blue
on three isolated occasions and
rah up the scores that won.
Graybeal Gallops
Little Gerald Graybeal put the
frosh in the lead midway through
the second quarter with an 80
yard touchdown gallop.
George Jesse took the second
half kickoff on his own'5-yard line
and raced 95 yards for touchdown
number two.
To climax the night of gigantics,
the frosh scored from their own
23-yard line on a left-handed pass,
Bob Smith to Graybeal, in the clos
ing quarter. Graybeal snagged
Smith’s long toss on the rook 39
and scampered down the left side
line unmolested for the score.
Kook Score at Last
The rook touchdown was one for
the book, coming after the gun had
sounded at the end of the game.
Howard Maple’s Baby Beavers had
marched from the frosh 2i and
were knocking at the touchdown
door as the final seconds ticked
off.
Baker dropped back in a last
desperate attempt’, hurling a pass
into the end zone. It was batted
down, however, and the gun
sounded. As the ball is dead the
instant a pass is incomplete, an
other second or two, time for the
rooks to run a play, remained.
Fans Miss Thrill
Most of the spectators had left
the stands when Art Molver, sub
stitute halfback, drove over his
own right guard from the 1-yard
line. The players piled up in a
heap, but Molvar was over and
the rooks had earned a touchdown,
j M. Granich missed the conversion
attempt.
The rooks had the frosh in sev
eral bad holes during the course
of the contest, but capable punting
by Left End Vic Reginato pulled
the Ducklings out of the rut each
time.
Chase Boots ’Em
Frank Chase, 155-pound rook
halfback, punted out of bounds on
the frosh 2-yard line from his own
40 early in the second quarter, and

Here are the backfield performers of the Washington State college
football team, which will meet the University of Oregon in a home
coming contest today on Hayward field. Reading from the left, they ij
are: Ed Goddard, flashy quarterback; Bob Fletcher, sophomore hall
back, who is regarded as a coiner, and Ed Bayne, who will probably
replace Goddard on next year’s squad. s -
Varsity
Sketches
By MORRIE HENDERSON
ED FARRAR
Oregon might have a bunch of
touted sophomores breaking into
the starting lineup this year, but
there is one position that is very
capably taken care of by exper
ienced men. And that is the center
spot shared by big Ed Farrar and
bigger Vern Moore, both veterans.
This boy Farrar is one of the few
seniors on the Webfoot team and
his two years’ experience as first
string center has been a big aid
to Callison and his asssistants this
year.
Ed is another one of those Cali
fornia boys who have been making
good on Oregon teams in the last
few years. A product of the fam
ous Galileo Lions teams of San
Francisco, Farrar slipped into the
difficult position of center last
year at Oregon, and now in his
last year here is really tearing
things loose. The competition is
keen on the coast this year for All
Coast center with Chavoor, Kuhn,
Herwig, Wiatrack, and Stan Smith
getting most of the publicity. Far,
rar stacks up with the best of
them in both the defensive and of
fensive departments of the game,
but he is apt to go unnoticed when
they stare picking the All-Coast
teams. He simply does his work
well without trying to grandstand
or receive extra publicity for it.
“They can say all they want to
about these California schools and
their wealth of material,” Ed said
as the Oregon varsity sat in the
dressing room waiting for the
Washington State team to finish
practice, “but I’ll take the smaller
school every time. Down there, a
fellow will be put on the first team
one day, and just because- he
doesn't happen to shine that day,
he is shoved down to the third
string and maybe never gets back
up. They don't give a man an even
break: even the best players have
their off days so how can a sopho
more expect to shine in one day?”

“They say that those Cougars
out there have a lot of spirit this
year,” Farrar said as he pointed
toward Hayward field, “but they
haven’t seen anything yet. This
Oregon team here is going to show
the folks the real old college spirit
in that game.”
“Okeh, gang, lets go and tear
up that field!” yelled Ed as he
sighted those big red Cougars com
ing toward the Igloo.

6 Donut Teams
Still Unbeaten in
Touch Football
Sigma Chi, Theta Chi in
Lead; Yeomen, Bela,
ATO, Sigma Hall Are
Also Undefeated
Six teams remain undefeated in
the intramural football league to
date, although Sigma Chi and The
ta Chi have the edge on the other
four teams, because they have
played and won four games to the
others three. The Yeomen, ATOs,
Betas, and Sigma hall have yet to
be defeated after having played
three games.
Next week the ATOs and Betas
play Zeta and' Gamma hall, re
spectively and should take both of
these games. Sigma hall and the
Yeomen should put up a good bat
tle and one will be dropped from
the unbeaten list. Sigma Chi and
: Theta Chi do not play at all next
week. November 2 finds the Theta
Chis up against the Betas the out
come of which game would be dif
ficult to even try to predict. Both
teams are undefeated and show
about equal strength. The Sigma
Chi and Phi Delta are pitted
against each other for the same
date.

MightyOregon Team
Maybe
I’m Wrong
By ORVAL HOPKINS
I shall begin by saying that old
friends are the best friends after
all, yon can’t judge a horse by his
color, and you can't burn the can
dle at both ends except in Febru
ary which has twenty-eight, you
can't do it. Also have you read' any
stuff lately and where did you get
that hat. In fact, anything but that
little dish last week in which I was
done dirt, we was robbed, they
framed me.
As a result of which dire deeds
I hereby pass up trixie the pixie
and wend my way, gayly singing
of the fame which awaits me when
Saturday's sunset fire smolders in
the west and the boys who attend
the game just in white shirts are
saying "what a fool am I.”
Thus do I hereby submit the
following prognostication, the
credit or debit for which shall be
laid unhesitatingly to the back door
of ol’ Truesdale, he having no oth
er: The Cougars' of Washington
State will defeat Callison’s satiri
cally dubbed aerial circus with
King Goddard the First running,
tossing, kicking them until they
appear to have large concentric
circles all about them. Further
more, the locals will seem a bit diz
zy and will be heard to remark at
times, “now where were we?” The
score, despite the copiously flowing
spirit of Homecoming: 14 to 0.
California being what they are
at this late stage (it must be that
they’re leaving Floyd Blower out of
there;, and the game being played
at Seattle, I will point the figure of
favor at Washington’s Huskies. At
this point, being a bit of a fence
straddler, I'd say if Cal chooses
today to be the Saturday on which
they will arise and glory-be, it
will be “great day” in Seattle.
Washington 10, California 7.

Cougars Have Big, Fast
Eleven; Ducks Weak
In Reserves; Las! Tift
At Home for Webfoots
By BRUCE CURRIE
At 2 o'clock sharp this after
noon, the bark of the starter’s gun
will mark the beginning of Ore
gon’s homecoming football game
with Washington State college on
Hayward field.
This contest, if pre game dope
means anything, may turn into the
hardest fought, bitterest struggle
ever waged between the schools on
a football field. The Cougars and
the Webfoots both have hard hit
ting, fast, smart teams, and both
squads will be fighting to keep
up their conference standings.
However, Washington State will be
slight favorites.
Babe Hollingberry has a horde
of big speedy men on his squ^d
and they have definitely proved
that they can take it, as well as
dish it out. What’s more, they are
down here with the intention of
beating Oregon and express their
confidence in themselves quite
freely. Only two men on the
Cougar outfit tip the scales at less
than 180 pounds, and these boys
each weigh 178. Running around
on Hayward field, limbering up af
ter their arrival from Pullman,
they looked enormous, in their
brilliant red and white jerseys and
tan pants.
The Ducks will have a hefty
lineup out there too, today, but
their reserves may not pome up
to the Cougar’s size. As for the
Green forward wall that Gene
Shields has so patiently coached,
they are plenty tough and smart
too. You can depend on Shields for
a good line.
The Washington State backfield
is one of the sweetest that the
Cougars ever put on a field, so
they say, with such men as all
American Ed Goddard at quarter
and Stan Fletcher at his regular
left halfback position. Goddard,
who was injured in the Trojan
game, is still limping and may not
be able to stay in for the whole
game. Fletcher is big and rangy
