THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
it wasn't only a jinx that matu
Oregon's football team so
thoroughly outplay Washington's
Pasadena-bound Huskies at Mult
nomah stadium. The Webfoots
played really inspired football and,
on the face of things, deserved to
win.
The vaunted Huskies recovered
a fumble deep in Oregon territory
in the first quarter and looked
mighty sweet in punching the
leather into touchdown soil in jig
time. But after that it was all
Oregon. Speculation was' rife
around the Igloo yesterday as to
just what Washington could have
or would have done if the Web
foots had tied it up on one of their
four big chances.
Could the Huskies have opened
up an offense which would have
demonstrated their superiority ?
Nobody can say, for Prink Calli
son’s fighting crew never got the
scores it undeniably earned. From
this corner, it looked as if Wash
ington would have had a very hard
time saving that ball game had
the Webfoots taken over that last
little inch of territory.
Washington didn't use many
plays, and some statistics don’t
tell the story. The writer isn’t so
sure. The Huskies showed a strong
line, and, for one brief snan; a
clever backfieid. They were good.
But Oregon, with seven sopho
mores playing most of the game,
outplayed them almost all the way.
The Huskies had the experience
and the ballyhoo. The Webfoot
sophcmores had the spirit, the
fight, the fire, and the better of
everything save the score. When a
team piles up 19S yards from
scrimmage and passes to only 98—
just half as much—for its oppo
nent^:—that team has outplayed
Its foe.
Those are the yardage figures
for Saturday—two to one for Ore
gon. And it wasn’t all just passes.
The Webfcots outgained the Hus
kies on the ground, rolling up 89
yards to 87. Washington lost 30
yards from scrimmage and Oregon
only 19. Oregon piled up 10 first
downs to only 4 for the Huskies!*
and first downs from scrimmage
were in Webfoot favor, 4 to 3.
Maybe you don’t like statistics.
Perhaps you’re one of those cynics
who growl “Aw, they pay off on
touchdowns.” But when you hash
over a football game, when you
measure that game and the teams
in it with other games and other
teams, you look at the statistics.
All right, forget the figures. If
you saw that struggle out thfere
on the turfless gridiron Saturday
you’ll agree, I think, that the Web
foots did more than anyone ex
pected or hoped of them. You'll
admit that Oregon’s line got the
jump on Washington’s and out
played the heavy and veteran
Husky forwards all the way. And
you’ll have to admit that a good
three quarters of the game was
played deep in Washington terri
tory.
The second half netted the tout
ed charges of Jimmy Phelan minus
yardage. Perhaps they weren't
opening up with their full bag of
tricks. Probably they were saving
them for the Rose Bowl. But they
came precious near not needing
any tricks for the Rose Bowl.
$ * *
The fails liked Oregon’s football
team Saturday. It gave them
color. All the kicks about lack
lustre performances against Idaho
and Washington State in games in
which the Webfoot youngsters
were merely feeling their way
and doing a good job of it, fell
away into the background. You
don’t hear ’em any more.
Spectators like passing. They
saw it Saturday. They saw Dave
Gammon, a sophomore just turned
19, working at a new position, left
half, and they saw him pass in
brilliant fashion. They watched
him put the ball where receivers
could get it and in a position in

The last round of league play
offs yesterday saw the Betas beat
the Theta Chis 7 to 0 in a close
game. Delta Tau Delta beat the
ATOs 6 to 0 and their league end
| ed up in a tie, necessitating a play
off tomorrow between these two
teams to decide the league winner.
Sigma Chi won their fifth game
and the championship of their
league, beating the Phi Delts 7 to 0.
Sigma Nu and Sigma hall failed to
appear for their game and it was
called no contest.
Betas 7, Theta Chi 0
The Theta Chis and Betas en
gaged in a hot contest with each
team fighting for the league cham
pionship. Both were previously un
defeated and last night’s game put
the Betas at the top of their league
by virtue of a 7 to 0 score. Both
teams were passing effectively
and the outcome of the game was
in doubt until the final gun. Sieg

from Pavalunas and went over for
a score early in the second haff af

Sigma Chi 7, Phi Delts 0
Gordon to Valley—the old pass
combination clicked again, and the
Sigma Chis came out with 7 points
to the Phi Delts 0. Valley scored
on a pass from Gordon early in
the first half of the game and the
Sigma Chis hung tenaciously to
this slim lead the remainder of
the game. The Phi Delts made a
sustained drive in the second half
that wasn't stopped until they
reached the Sweethearts' 10 but
they lacked the necessary drive to
put the ball over.
Delts 6, ATO 0
The Delts beat the ATOs 6 to 0
to place both teams in a tie for
first place in their league. The
Delts had been defeated once in
four games and the ATOs had won
all of theirs before this game. The
Delt victory placed both teams in
a tie with four games won and
one lost for each one. Neil Butler,

Cf Baekfield Quartet;
Outlook Gloomy
Hopes of a frosh victory over the
Washington Babes in Seattle on
Saturday, have taken a gloomy
outlook this week, with four of
the team's main baekfield threats
still out of the lineup with leg in
juries. All of the quartet may not
be sufficiently recovered to get
into the clash, according to Coach
“Honest John” Warren.
Warren is working his team this
week minus two good fullbacks,
Paul Rowe and Frank Emmons,
and without a couple of his star
halfbacks, Jay Graybeal and Bill
Rach. Emmons and Graybeal are
out with sprained ankles, and oth
ers are both suffering with knee
injuries.
Kach Still Out
Rach, stocky right half, was out
all of last week with torn carti
lages in his left knee, and it is
doubtful whether he will be fully
recovered by Saturday. Rowe, the
team's hard driving fullback, is
still on the shelf with his knee
injury suffered in the rook game.
A capable group of baekfield re
serves are on hand to fill in the
vacant spots should the injured fail
to recover in time for the Babe
game. Connie Grabb, recent im

Butler failed to convert and the

Sigma Nus only had six men ready

Figures Indicate Gain
In Donut Participation
Paul R. Washke, professor of physical education, gave out figures
recently to show that the number of intramural sports contestants has
materially increased during the past few years, except for the present
time when interclass and interhouse activities have been curtailed
while the new gym is under construction.
“Instead of the usuall fall program consisting of softball, volley
ball, swimming, and water polo, we have filled numerous requests and
added touch football along with cross country and Sigma Psi decath
lon. This program is to take the place of the lack of gym facilities
until the beginning ot the winter
term,” he explained.
During the school year ending in
1933, there were 800 men out of
the 1280 enrolled in the school who
participated—making 62 per cent;
in 1934, 749 out of 1181, or 63 per
cent; in 1935, 927 out of 1427, or
65 per cent; and in 1936, 820 out of
1505, or 54.5 per cent. Thus the
past year has seen a decrease of
9.5 per cent in participation over
1934-1935, but it is thought that
touch football together with the
new gym space will raise this per
centage higher than in any past
year, according to Professor Wash
ke.
In regard to the value of intra
murals and organized gym work.
Professor Washke stated, “intramu
ral sports have a definite place in
every college physical education
program. Each program should be
made up of three distinct and yet
closely related parts; the regular
scheduled physical education class
es, which teach the fundamentals
of sports practical for recreation
in later life; voluntary intramural
athletics in which the student
practices and puts to use the
techniques taught in scheduled
classes; and the varsity sports
program for those who prove them
selves good in intramurals. Thus,
a Jadder is made of these different
programs."
Mr. Washke points out-the big
gest difficulty facing the in
tramural sports directors, at this
time, is not the lack of student in
terest. nor a lack of gym facilities.
nor a lack of knowledge of how
to organize the increasing number
of participants, but, rather, it is a
problem of lack of understanding,
or scarcity of appreciation, of the
public for the program. Many of
the faculty members, citizens, and
news reporters are partially aware
that such a program exists, and let
it go at that. They take no inter
est in it unless it concerns their
favorite varsity athletes or frater
nity brothers. Perhaps they do not
know how the program is organ
ized, what its objectives are, or
why it exists; and in many cases
they do not care.
“It is the job of those who know
the objectives and values of intra
murals to educate and inform those
who mold public opinion, so that
this branch of physical education
will receive the true consideration
and place in the educational sys
tem which it so justly deserves,”
concluded Professor Washke.

Ducks Gain Confidence;
Team Spirit at Highest
Point During Season;
Webfoot Hopes High
Oregon's football squad, which
thrilled more than 30,000 specta
tors Saturday afternoon, returned
to its own backyard for the first
session in a new week of practice
yesterday.
The Webfoots. who thoroughly
{outplayed Washington's Rose
Bowl-bound Huskies in Multnomah
stadium, only to lose, 7 to 0. will
meet UCLA in Portland this week
end. It will be the final Rose City
appearance of Prink Callison’s
team this fall.
The regulars who carried the
brunt of attack and defense
against the Huskies rested yester
day, while the reserves went
through a scrimmage drill against
John Warren’s freshmen. All men
came through the bitterly-fought
’’jinx'’ battle in good condition,
and, barring practice injuries, Cal
lison will field his strongest eleven
against the Bruins Saturday.
Huston, Blackman Bark
Return of Joe Huston, guard,
and Tom Blackman, fullback, both
of whom have been out of action
with injuries for some time, is ex
pected this week. Both men turned
out for practice work last week,
but Trainer Bill Hayward at no
time held much hope for cither’s
chances of performing in the
Washington fray.
Confidence and enthusiasm fair
ly oozed from the Webfoot’s shoe
tops when they returned to the
campus after their brilliant stand
against the highly-favored Husk
ies. The team showed more drive
and spirit Saturday than in any
game this season and completely
dominated the important contest.
Praise was heaped upon them by
experts all over the coast.
uuinmon sensational
Sophomore Dave Gammon, who
made such an auspicious debut as
a regular left halfback, seems cer
tain to stick at that position for
the remainder of the season. Coach
Callison expressed himself as high
ly satisfied with Gammon’s show
ing in his new position. The for
mer Benson Tech youth was little
short of sensational in his passing
and punting. He 'hurled the Web
foots into scoring territory on sev
eral occasions with his arm and
outbooted the famous Elmer Logg
with his toe.
Combining with Gammon to
form a passing combination ' w'as
Sophomore John Yerby, who has
been improving rapidly all season.
The Webfoot coaches are counting
upon Yerby for plenty of service
in the three games to come.
Big Jean Lacan, 203 - pound
sophomore fullback, turned in his
best game of the Reason. Hank
Nilsen and Nello Giovaninl were
outstanding sophomores in the line.
