THE Firing Line By PAT FRIZZELL _ | The national gridiron slate to morrow doesn't boast many bat games more important than the one at Multnomah stadium. There’s Fordham and Pittsburgh Minnesota and Northwestern, anc a host of other tid-bits in store fot the nation's fandom, but the Ore gon-Washington battle will hold its own with most of them. The Port land game will go a long way to ward deciding the Pacific coast conference championship. If the Huskies get over the Oregon jinx, they’ll be favored to cop the con ference crown and the Rose Bowl bid. There being no Emerald tomor row, I, today take pen in hand to prognosticate the scores, in ac cordance with a custom established last week. Quite naturally, the Oregon-Washington fracas is the first to be "chosen,” and, also quite naturally, it’s one of the toughest. * * * On the basis of comparative scores, demonstrated strength, and numerous other factors, Washing ton should be an overwhelming fa vorite. Psychologically, Oregon has the advantage. A lot depends upon which team gets the jump. The much-ballyhooed jinx isn’t hooey. It means plenty. A year ago the Malemute crowd had a big edge on paper. Jimmy Phelan and his gang were insur mountable favorites in pre-game wagering. But the W e b f o o ts pushed over an early touchdown, watched Elmer Logg miss three place kicks by tiny margins, and canie home from Seattle with a 7-to-6 victory. Oregon’s line has outcharged the Husky forwards for years. In the forward wall the game is likely to be won, despite the presence of Logg, By Haines, Jimmy Cain, and Ed Nowogroski in Washington’s backfield. The ball-carrying flash es can’t function unless the line holds them up. Well, it’s about time I stuck my head in the lion’s mouth. Sure, Oregon will win, 6 to 0. Nutshell prognostications: Stanford-UCLA — Mighty close, but an edge to the Bruins, 13 to 7. Washington State-California — Washington State should win with out much trouble. It seems evident that the Bears aren't going to click this fall. Even if Goddard isn’t in Webfoots Battle Huskies Tomorrow T Pi Psi, Kappa Sig and Phi Sig Take Victories Contest Forfeited When Sammies and Canard Fail to Show for Tilt; Close Games Played The Phi Psis and Kappa Sigs were victorious by means of passes completed in the last minute of play on touch tackle play yester day. The Phi Sigs established' their margin of victory early in the first half of their game with the Camp bell Co-op. Canard and Sigma Al pha Mu cancelled their fray be cause of the absence of both squads. Playing a nip and tuck game the full thirty minutes, the Phi Psis managed to edge out a 6 to 0 vic tory in the final moments of play over the DUs with the aid of a well directed pass from Berke Mathews into the waiting arms of Jimmy Jones. Omega Loses Omega hall found the going just a little bit tough towards the end of their tussle with the Kappa Sigs, and were defeated to the tune of 7 to 0. Both teams put up a game fight, and it was not until an overtime period that the Kap pa Sigs were able to record their one touchdown of the afternoon. Phi Sigs Win f The Phi Sigs furnished the third top-notch tilt of the day when they downed the men’s co-op, 6 to 0. The score was made in the middle of the first half when Don Bailey tried a center plunge which netted five yards and a touchdown. The Phi Sigs held a slight margin on running plays. Carter Fetch and Frank Hitchcock showed up well in the Phi Sig line up, while Oris Madieros sparked the men’s co-op. the lineup, tne Cougars have Ed die Bayne. 13 to 0. Idaho-Gonzaga—Tough as they make ’em. Gonzaga 13, Idaho 7. Santa Clara - Auburn — Even tougher. This game will be played in the same town at the same hour as the Washington State-Cal con test and may outdraw the confer ence teams.

From the Inside By CEC'E WALDEN As a rule in a game such as the me which is to be played in Port land Saturday, a coach has a dif ficult time in getting his team pepped up to a point where they pan put forth their best efforts, rhis is probably one of a coach’s most perplexing problems. It would seem to the public that this would be a simple matter in view pf the fact that this game is one }f Oregon’s biggest contests. * * * There are several things which me must take into consideration, ind which the coach has to also ponsider. The coach must first :ake into consideration the fact hat the Ducks lost a hard fought aattle last week and there is bound :o be a certain amount of let down, ["here is always the danger of fir ng a team up to the point where ;hey reach such a nervous strain jefore the game that when game ime comes they have suffered a nental and physical let-down. * * * Of course there are several dif ’erent techniques used for pepping i team, and every coach seems to lave his own. Coach Prink Calli ;on seems to have the Webfoots rery near the peak in spirit, judg ng from the actions of the team nembers in practice. The environ nent which accompanies this con est cannot be denied as a factor n giving the team a great deal of he necessary spirit. Send the Emerald to your friends.

Ducklings Drive Hard for Babes Four Scrimmages Remain Before Seattle Tussle Beckons Frosli Long hard scrimmages againsl the varsity, continue to occupy e majop portion of the time devotee by Coach Warren in preparing hi; Duckling eleven for next week’s tilt against the Washington Babes Practices every night this weet have lasted till long after dark or Hayward field. Skipper Warren, not pleased with the progress shown by hit gridders this week, is expected tc drive them through some strenu ous workouts in the few days re maining before they leave for Seat tle. The squad will go through an other workout tonight, and' then gets a two day rest over the week end. The team’s offense got a good test last night, driving plays intc both sides of the Webfoot line. Connie Grabb, stocky Baker grid man, at fullback did most of the ball packing. Grabb is one of the team’s biggest improvements. An other standout for the frosh this week has been Frank Emmons, Beaverton lad, who has been pinch hitting for Rowe at fullback. Running mates to Grabb in the backfield which opened last night's scrimmage, were; Dennis Dono van at quarter, and Robert R. Smith and Floyd Smith—two of the team’s three Smiths—at half back posts. The leg injury sustained by Bill Rach, chunky frosh right half, in Monday’s practice, is not as serious as first reports indicated, and he may yet get into Saturday’s battle, according to Coach Warren. Paul Rowe, Gerald Graybeal, and Bob Smith, three of the team’s main backfield threats who have been out this week with minor injuries, did not scrimmage last night but all are expected to be in shape by Monday.

Due to the scarcity o ends this fall, Engstrom wa switched to end, where his physi cal build made the change easy fo him. He looks like a natural ou there on the flank and it seem, like a shame he wasted so mucl time fiddling around in the middh of the line. “Did you mess up Farrar’s in terview?” Engstrom hollered as walked over to his locker. He love to talk and will argue with any o the team on any subject. “E( didn't go to Galileo but he followei me at Lowell high. Just how oftei do you guys that write for the pa per get anything right?” “Who do I think was the tough est team we have played so fa: this season?” asked Engstrom, (Please turn to page four) Frosh Gridmen ERLING JACOBSEN s Erling Jacobsen from Portland is j a leading candidate for the pivot position on the frosh team.

Oregon Primed for Washington Tilt in Portland Tomorrow Maybe I’m Wrong By OKVAL, HOPKINS We decided to let all you folks go at three today so’s you can be up there among 'em in time to in sure a good supply of ice and ev erything. Then there's that rally ancl a bit of jigging, not to say jugging, to be done, too. Also I’ve heard talk about an exhibition of one of America's biggest business es. That’ll be Saturday, and what sweet sorrow. Heartily disliking to be blunt about this, I am yet required to state that the jinx stinks. After all, if you can’t throw enough rocks to keep the boys from down by the gas house from marking up our sidewalks they’ll be up here pursuing their art, no matter whose father used to be on our side. In other words, the Washingtons have too many sawed-off shotguns. Nev ertheless, let there be great joy, if not glad tidings. Washington 14, Oregon 0. California can't go on forever. Thus, at the risk of practically ev erything drastic which linger in the dark awaiting such unsuspect ors as I, a prayer is raised that lady luck will take the Golden Bear by the hand and lead him from the shadows. It’s Washing ton State at Berkeley this time with Stub Allison's mangy crew to win, six love.

That’s the spirit that burned in every man on the Oregon squad as they turned in a hard, peppy workout yester day. Most of the drill was devoted to dummy work, passing and a short scrimmage with “Honest” John Warren's frosh. The practice today will be very light as Callison is taking no chances before the big game with Washington coming up tomorrow. Ducks Rook Fine The Webfoots looked better yes terday in pre-game practice than they have at any time this season. However, the fact that the squad is probably in better mental and physical condition than at any time before does not account for all of this. The Oregon men are smooth and clicking like a well-oiled ma chine. The line that Callison will put out on the field to start the game tomorrow will be one with which the Washington lads will have to reckon pretty seriously. Engstrom and Nilsen are two capable wing men who have improved amazing ly this year. John Engstrom is a veteran while Nilsen is a sopho more. Tony Amato Find Nello Gio vanini should take care of the guard duties very handily. Del Bjork ancl either Bill Foskett or Ken Skinner will take over the tackle positions while Ed Farrar or Vern Moo... will start at center.
