THE Firing Line By PAT FFJZZELL No, mates, Oregon won’t play an early-season intersectional game with some big shot eastern school in Portland next fall, Anse Cornell woh knows, assured that yester day. The reason is extremely simple, The Webfoots have a game sched uled with UCLA in Los Angeles on September 25, the first date on which the conference allows its members to play. And from there on, the early slate is crowded. Here's the setup. Oregon and UCLA play on the same corres ponding Saturday (it’s a day ear lier next season) that the Webfoots trounced Portland university and Oregon State stumbled before the Trojans this year. That's as soon as you can play in this conference. Possibility of an intersectional contest later in the season isn’t nearly so remote. In fact, its likely. The dope is that Oregon is pretty certain of having a home-and-home series with some eastern outfit either next year and in 1938 or in '38 and ’39. * * * It probably won’t be long, if present indications aren't a bunch of hooey, until Oregon football will at last be out of the slime. There hasn’t been much of the gooey stuff this fall, but usually there’s plenty of it. Turf on Hayward field next fail depends upon the athletic budget, says Mr. Cornell, and its not at all unlikely that the Webfoots will gallavant before the home folks on silky green footing in 1937. The Oregon State Barometer is blowing its horn for turf on Bell field, and even Multnomah stadium may come in for a grassy coating. The powers that be around the Portland house of gridiron thrills are awaiting the outcome of the new Pacific coast conference round robin schedule before making the momentous leap. It shouldn’t be momentous, with all the little col leges and some of the high schools already boasting turf fields, but after all these years of waiting and hoping, it most certainly is. One of the most helpful things Oregon students who want a turf field can do is to hop a train or paddle their own lizies to Satur day’s game with UCLA. When a football team makes the wonderful showing Oregon made against Washington, that team needs the wholehearted sup port of its student body. If the students let the Webfoots down now, after flocking in unison to see them in their big splurge with the Huskies, it'll be a rather cheap mess of potatoes. Anybody who wants to see a reif football game would do well to be on hand when the band (swing or no swing) swings into “The Star Spangled Banner’’ as Old Glory climbs the pole in Portland Satur day. The Webfoots are primed to avenge that unpleasant 33-to-6 dose they took from the Bruins a year ago, and the Bruins are vow ing to ease the sting of the Stan ford defeat with Duck meat. All indications point to a ding-dong exhibition. The campus was practically de serted last weekend. I’m not try ing to ire the professors, but an other exodus to the metropolis wouldn’t be a bad idea. * * # Has anyone seen more football upsets in one day than took place last Saturday? Maybe so, but it's been years. Just count ’em. Right off the handle, there’s the biggest surprise of all, Northwest ern’s win over Minnesota. Then, in rapid-fire order, we have Notre Dame over Ohio State; Rucknell over Villanova; Temple over Holy Cross; Dartmouth over Yale; Col gate over Army; Stanford over UCLA; Florida over Maryland; Chicago over Wisconsin; Denver’s tie with Utah State, and Boston College’s tie with Michigan State.

Betas Meet Yeomen Today For Donut Championship Duck Football Squad Practices On Passing For UCLA Grid Fray Backfield Alternates in Firing Passes; Nilsen, On Starting Team j cf Multnomah stadium Saturday, j if the number of aerial plays be ing put on by Prink Callison's Ore gon Webfoots in practice this week are any criterion. The Webfoots, who tangle with the Bruins of UCLA this weekend, look like a Southern Methodist outfit. There was no scrimmage last night and there has been little of it all week. Dummy scrimmage, signal drills, and passes are the menu. Dave Gammon, sensation of the Washington game, is only one of Coach Callison’s pass-firing crew. Others heaving the leather yester day were Dale Lasselle, Bob Brad dock, and Jim Nicholson. All may get a chance to cut loose Saturday. John Yerby and Hank Nilsen will probably start at ends for Oregon and it will be up to them to snare the passes. Yerby was aces at pulling in the flings in the Washington fuss and is rated the best receiver on the squad. Robertson Improves Lenard (Bud) Robertson, anoth er sophomore wingman, may see service in Saturday's fray. Rob ertson, a former Albany high play er, has been coming fast in prac tice recently. John Engstrom and Lief Jacobsen, lettermen, are also likely to see terminal action against the Bruins. Chuck Bracher and' Bob Hinman are other ends in line for use by Mentor Callison. Indications are that Joe Huston, out since the Southern California game with a knee injury, will play Saturday. Huston has been work ing out with the team for over a week and apparently is complete ly recovered. Huston will have a hard time crowding Nello Giovan ini out of his left guard spot and is not likely to start. It is still an uncertainty wheth er or not Tom Blackman, Oregon’s other cripple, can play. Probable Ends Passes will clog the atmosphere Several Heavers wemoois vengeiui The Webfoots are anxious to avenge the 33-to-6 defeat heaped upon them by UCLA last year. The Bruins are expected to be extreme ly tough, despite their upset loss to Stanford. In eight previous meet ings with Bill Spalding’s team, the Ducks have six victories. Past scores follow: 1928— Oregon 26, UCLA 6. 1929— Oregon 27, UCLA 0. 1930— Oregon 7, UCLA 0. 1931— Oregon 13, UCLA 0. 1932 -Oregon 7, UCLA 12. 1933— Oregon 7, UCLA 0. 1934— Oregon 26, UCLA 3. 1935— Oregon 6, UCLA 33. leaves out a few.

This end suffered a broken finger a short time ago and instead of having it dressed in the regular varsity training room he imme diately rushed to the infirmary to have it taken care of. Before the Washington game last Saturday. Oregon’s passing at tack was looked upon as a very weak part of the Webfoot offense. It seemed that for Oregon to com plete a pass out of every ten was extraordinary, they couldn’t even complete their passes in practice, but it is a much different story now. The ends seem to have glue on their fingers and the passing is more accurate. It will be well for UCLA, California, and Oregon State to be careful of this aerial attack. Practice sessions this week have been very light up to the present time. As a rule a coach has a difficult time getting his team to show the fighting spirit during the week without a certain amount of scrimmage, but this has not held true. Many coaches think they must scrimmage their team at least once during the week before the game, but Callison apparently has other ideas on this. More fire and spirit was shown on the field yesterday than has been shown for sime time, and along with this pep there is a great deal of confi dence. Varsity Sketches By MORRIE HENDERSON JOE HESTON Joe Huston is the hard luck player on this year's Oregon foot ball team. Slated to start as a regular guard, Joe banged up his left knee in the Portland game; and then just as it was getting well, he tore out the other knee in the Southern California game. Now his leg is just about well and he is ready to go against Oregon's last three opponents. “I don't know exactly how I threw out my knee in that Trojan game,” Huston said. ‘‘I was run ning down after we had punted to Davie Davis, and I started to turn to tackle him. The next thing I knew my leg twisted. I do not think any Southern Cal man clip ped me after I started to fall. "I guess it is all part of the game,” he said as he looked down at about nine feet of tape on his knee. Joe is a California boy from Glendale, home of the famous track stars. Although only 5 feet 8 inch es in height, he weighs over 180 pounds and packs a lot of drive. Opponents of Oregon know they have been in a ball game when Huston is in there, because he is plenty tough to handle and is all over the field bringing down ball carriers. He is plenty fast, too, and with two good legs under him can usually lead the pack down under punts. His legs slightly handicap him now, but wait until next year when they are completely recov ered. When asked what kind of offi ciating Oregon has had this year, Joe answered, ‘‘We have had noth ing to kick about. The officials have been darn good especially Nibs Price who refereed the Wash ington game. He blew a quick whistle which prevented injuries, and he was right in the pile after the ball on every play. The South ern Cal game was a little rough, several clippings the officials mis sed, but they can t get all of them all the time. "I don’t know what the trouble Washington State has been getting into, especially after the Stanford and California games, but they seem to be getting a lot of criti cism this year." Frosh Gridders Drive Through Last Scrimmage Injured Players Return To Bolster Strength; Babes in Good Shape For Their Last Tilt —_— Final polishing' of the Oregon j Ducklings' team offense and de fense for Saturday’s big game against the Washington Babes, was concluded last night when Coach Warren’s men went through an other session with the varsity re serves on Hayward field. Warren drove his squad through blocking practice yesterday at the opening of practice, and later in the session ran the frosh gridmen through some work on the tackling dummy. The team has been doing dual work this week, running the UCLA attack against Callison’s Webfoots, besides preparing for Saturday's tilt in Seattle. Not Full Strength Prospects are dim for the Ore gon yearling team to go into the Babe game at full strength, but at least half the present list of crip ples should see action. Jay Gray beal, midget left half, and Frank Emmons, fullback, who have been on the shelf with sprained ankles, arc- expected to be ready by game time Saturday afternoon. Russ Inskeep, tackle, and Lloyd Beggs, guard, two of this week's casualties are both back in suits again and will undoubtedly get into the game. Paul Rowe, the team’s hard hitting fullback, has not been in togs this week, and his possibil ities of playing are still a question mark. jesse iterums George Jesse, backfield flash, is with the squad again, and he, along with Bob Smith, ailing right half, should get into the Babe fray. Out side of these few uncertainties, the frosh team is in the best of shape and should give the Washington freshmen a whale of a battle. The Babes are reported to be in wonderful condition this week, and are planning on emulating the vic tory of their big brothers, the Huskies, scored over a fighting Webfoot team in Portland last Saturday. Babes’ Third Game They will be playing their third and final game of the season this weekend in Seattle. The Husky Babes lost their opener by a 6 to 0 score to Bellingham normal, but came back last week to drive over a 13 to 6 victory over the Wash ington State Cougar Kittens. Saturday’s contest will be the season’s fourth for Oregon's bril liant frosh eleven. Warren’s gang showed some sensational ball ear lier this season in spilling the Orc gcn State rooks and Southern Ore gon normal, and are gunning to upset Coach Tubby Graves’ highly rated outfit. A signal drill today will wind up the week’s work for Skipper War ren's outfit, and they are sched uled to leave for Seattle at noon Friday. Local Wood Carver to Make Panels for Like Three large wooden panels, carved by Arthur Clough, local wood-carver, and his associates, have just been installed in tihe upper division reading room of the new library. Three more will be installed as soon as they are fin I ished. The carving follows the grain of the wood on the panels, which tell the story of siv Oregon mountains, and the activities which took place on them. Class Dismissal Asked By Advisory Committee Professors have been asked by the student advisory committee to exercise discretion in the direction of leniency for tho.se students who j wish to be excused from Saturday classes to attend the UCLA game in Portland. The committee also directed that classes on Saturday, November 21, be held until 10:50, and that 11 o' clock classes be dismissed in order that students may take the special i train for the game with Oregon j State college in Corvallis. Judith Mitchell, ex-’37, and Thurman Ray Muir were married in Portland on October 10. Mr, Muir is an alurr.uns of Creighton university, Omaha, Nebraska. Oregon Fores This When Prink Callison’s Webfools play UCLA in Port land Saturday they’ll meet up with this for midable-looking; forward wall. From left to right and end to end, the bruin linesmen are Bob Schrocder, Pete Barber, Earc Sargeant, John Hastings, Sherman Chat oor, Copt. George Diekerson, and Geo. Kobinson. Frosh Gridmen RON HUSK Hon Husk, of Portland, is the leading candidate for quarterback position on the frosh team. Ronnie played guard at Franklin high school in Portland and won the Zell trophy his last year at the Quaker school. Because of his blocking ability, Coach Warren shifted Ron to quarterback at the start of the season. Due to short age of guards this year, Husk is often shifted into the line in games and is very effective at either posi tion. Ron is 6 feet 2 inches in height and weighs 185 pounds. PAUL ROWE Paul Rowe is one ot the out standing men on the Yearling team this fall. Weighing 200 pounds, Rowe plays fullback and backs up the line on defense. Paid is very fast and hits the line like a bat tering ram. This is Paul’s first year at Am erican football as they play rugby in Victoria, B. C., which is Paul’s home town.

The Yeomen beat the ATOs last night 6 to 0 in a league playoff game. Previously, both teams were tied for first place with four games won and none lost. The teams showed little offens ive in the first half, with neither going more than 20 yards into the other's territory. The Yeomen had a slight edge in this period because of their superiority in running plays. The ATOs completed numerous short passes over the center of their line, but were unable to make any substantial gains or enough fikst downs to even threat en to score. Yeomen Launch Drive The second half began in a lack luster manner but this was soon dispelled by a determined Yeoman drive. They took the ball down the field for 40 yards on a series of short passes and end runs. A five yard penalty against the ATOs helped them considerably. A pass from Fisher to Pickens, good for eight yards culminated the drive with a Yeoman touchdown. Platt failed to convert. The ATOs made a determined ef fort to score just before the game ended, but their passes were knocked down by an alert Yeoman team. Finals Tomorrow This game was the last of the semi-finals and tomorrow night the final game will be played with the Yeomen meeting the Betas for the championship. Both teams have strong passing and running at tacks. The Yeoman line is con ceded to be the stronger of the two, but the independents will have to cope with Matt Pavalunas, the Betas’ ace spot passer. Thick shakes at TAYLOR’S.—adv.
