THE
Firing
Line
By PAT FRIZZELL
Picking Oregon to win from
UCLA today is a different kettle
of fish than choosing the Webfoots
to down Washington Satte and
Washington in previous weeks. For
the third straight Saturday I'm
picking Oregon, and this time I
have company. The Webfoots are
favored by all the prognosticators
from Harvey Woodruff down.
Picking Prince Gary Callison s
young men to upset Washington
and Washington State was like
backing Landon against Roosevelt.
Everybody loves a winner, they
^ say, and this column for a change
is subscribing to the old adage.
A week ago, before two very sur
prising gridiron exhibitions, UCLA
was rated as a stronger ball club
than Oregon. When the Webfoots
looked like a different team
against Washington and the Bruins
took the unhappy end of the score
in a game with Stanford, the en
tire aspect of today’s battle
changed.
* * *
Why shouldn’t the Webfoots
win? They have a line that ought
to be able to stop young Bill Spal
ding and Billy Bob Williams,. It
also rates as a favorite to stop
any other backs old Bill Spalding
throws at it.
' Then, on the offensive side, our
Ducks have a newly-found passing
attack ..which ..everybody ..from
grandpa to little Rosemarie agrees
is okay. Oregon's running attack
has been better in seasons not too
far remote, but the Webfoots’ ter
ra firma drive is improving, and
today may be the day for it to click
like a Minnesota steam roller.
Elucidation is finished. Now the
score. It may be too close for
comfort, for the Uclas are a good
ball club. If their offense gets go
ing, they may be too good. Oh yes,
the score. Oregon 13, UCLA 6.
Big game on the Pacific slope is
the Southern California-California
fuss down in Los Angeles. The
sturdy Golden Bears always fight
till the end in this one, even if not
so many seasons back the Trojans
did beat ’em 74 to 0. Stub Allison
says his Bears will play their best
football of the season. They'll have
to do better than that to beat USC,
* but it may be close. Trojans 13,
California 7.
Washington - Stanford—J. Ru
fus Klawans, an official in the
Oregon - Washington game last
week, says the Huskies pulled
their punches and coasted against
the Webfoots. That’s talking out
of turn for an official, who should,
they tell us, be seen and not heard.
Well, the truth will out this after
noon as far as Jimmy Phelan’s
Rose Bowl hopefuls are concerned.
Stanford is tough, but the Huskies
will open up enough to win, about
13 to 7. (That’s a score you can’t
look too bad on.)
Oregon State - Washington State
—The poor Beavers. Ed Goddard
is ready to go and the Cougars are
f on their home field. WSC 27, OSC
6.
St. Mary’s-Idaho—The Gaels will
relax from studies enough to win
this, about 20 to 6.
The nation at large can’t offer
as niany upsets as last Saturday.
It wouldn’t be possible. Let’s look
around; with fear in our eyes:
Alabama-Tulane — Tulane in a
donnybrook.
Arkansas-Rice — Arkansas’ Ra
zorbacks hog the big end of the
count.
Boston College - North Carolina
State — Boston college by a nose.
Colorado-Ctah—A toss-up. Utah.
Colorado State - Utah State—
Utah State.
Marquette - Creighton — Mar
quette by a mile.
Dartmouth - Columbia — Dart
y mouth.
North Carolina - Davidson ■—
No’th C’lina’s Tar Heels, easily.
Detroit - Bucknell—• Detroit won
last season, 53-0. This year Detroit
will win again, but it’ll be about
6 to 0.
Florida - Georgia — Georgia in
a very close one.
Fordham - Purdue—Toughest of
the week. Fordham has taken
pummelings on two successive
weekends, but has held off defeat.
Today the Rams will do it again
and win.
Georgia Tech - Auburn — Au
burn.
Harvard-Yirginia—Harvard.
Holy Cross - Colgate — Holy
Cross wins a toss-up.
Indiana - Syracuse—An intersec
tional triumph for the Midwest.
Indiana.
[ Kansas - Nebraska—Nebraska.

T
Ducklings Tangle
With Husky Babes
In Seattle Today
i
Mythical Yearling Title
For Northwest Will Be
At Stake as Gritlders
Stage Annual W ar
The mythical northwest frosh
football title will be at stake this
afternoon in Seattle when Coach
John Warren’s Oregon Duckling
eleven tangles with the University
of Washington Babes in a renewal
of the annual heated rivalry be
tween the teams.
Coach Tubby Grave’s Babes will
enter the game today in perfect
condition, and as they are playing
their final game of the season, are
expected to shoot the works. The
Webfoot yearlings are not quite at
their strongest, with Bill Rach
definitely out. and several others
nursing bruises, but on the basis
of previous records, should make a
good account of themselves.
Both teams eliminated their state
uuucgc nvai.i 1x1 cauici garner emo
year, and on that basis are scrap
ping for northwest title honors
this afternoon. The Ducklings will
have another score with the rooks
to settle, however, provided they
triumph over the Babes.
Use Same Lineup
“Honest John” Warren, frosh
mentor, plans on sending practic
ally the same starting lineup on the
field that opened previous games,
with the exception of Rach. His
line will be flanked by Larry Lance
and Vic Reginato, and starting
tackles are slated to be Russ Ins
keep and Ellroy Jensen.
The center trio is a little uncer
tain although Erling Jacobsen will
undoubtedly be the opening pivot
man. Warren is starting Lloyd
Beggs at right guard, and expects
to have either George Jones or Bill
Stein at left guard.
Jessee, Graybeal to Start
George Jessee, the Rainier threat,
is expected to open the game at
left half for the frosh, with little
Jay Graybeal, Pendleton flash, be
ing held in reserve. The other three
backfield berths are open to sev
eral. Either Dennis Donovan or
Ron Husk will get the call at quar
terback, and Bob Smith, southpaw
passer, is the probable choice at
right half.
To counteract Billy Hill, the
Babe’s great driving fullback, Ore
gon’s frosh Paul Rowe, the Can
adian ace, who has been pounding
holes in opposing lines all season.
Bill Gleason, fleet Portland boy, is
reputed to be one of the main
Washington scoring threats, but he
will have to centend with Gray
beal and Jessee, frosh stars, for
honors.
Strong in Reserves
Other Babe backfield threats are
Charlie Russel, A1 Bechtol, Frank
Garretson, and a speedboy named
Hill. The Washington team has
two lines rated about equal in pow
er, so are well fortified with re
serves. Outstanding in the Babe
line are A1 Zemeck, center, and the
huge tackle named Yonker.
Records since 1930 show that in
four games, the frosh have an
edge with two victories to one for
the Babes. Two years ago they
fought to a scoreless tie, hut last
season it was Washington by an
8 to 0 count. No games were play
ed in ’32 and '33. The two previous
years were 25 to 6 and 31 to 7#for
the Ducklings.
Coach Warren and his squad of
27 men, including athletic manager
Leo Marlantes, left by train for
Seattle yesterday at noon. Those
making the trip are: Larry Lance,
Steve Anderson, George Jessee,
Victor Reginato, Dennis Donovan,
Ellroy Jensen, Emery Hobbs,
Frank Emmons, Connie Grabb,
George Jones, Gerald Graybeal.
Melvin Passolt, Floyd Smith, Stan
Kunzman, Robert K. Smith, Paul
Rowe, Ron Husk, Russell Inskeep,
Lloyd Beggs, Erling Jacobsen, Bill
Stein, Bob Laurenson, Gus Lauris,
Clayton Pearson, Floyd Smith, and '
George Schiveiger.
State—LSU.

Colonels.
Michigan State - Temple—Edge
to Pop Warner and his Owls.
Minnesota - Iowa—The Gophers
will wreak vengeance for the
Northwestern defeat on unfortu
nate Iowa.

Axemen Crush
Uni High Team,
In Night Game
A touchdown-mad Eugene high
school football team avenged last
year’s vp-~et defeat by burying Uni
versity high under a terrific 59 to
0 trouncing on Hayward field last
night.
Flits Kramer's Axemen, victims
cf a 31 to 13 defeat by the Golden
Tide last fall, came through in
glorious fashion last night. The
inspired lads scored once in the
first quarter, added three touch
downs in the second, two in the
third, and a final three in the
fourth.
University high didn’t threaten
once, while Eugene scored almost
at will. The overwhelming victory
kept Eugene at the top among
state prep teams, without a defeat
or tie.
Varsity
Sketches
By MOBBIE HENDERSON
JIMMY NICHOLSON
Jimmy Nicholson, speed mer
chant. Dealer in fast ball carry
ing and fancy open field running.
That might be the calling card
of this mighty little sophomore,
left half on this year’s Webfoot
football team. Weighing only 170
pounds and 5 feet 8 inches in
height, Jimmy can skirt the ends
like a scared rabbit and once in
the clear is off like a deer. He did
just that in the Idaho game this
year to score a touchdown. It
doesn’t take much of a hole in the
line either to get him away into
the secondary.
“How do us little fellows like
playing against two hundred pound
players that most teams have now
days?” Nicholson asked. “Well,
it’s okeh just as long as we are
not hit square on. If that happens,
we might come out the loser. Take
that fellow Bayne up at Washing
ton State when we played them
here. He squirmed and twisted so
that none of our men could get a
clean tackle. He was always falling
away or turning when he was hit.
I would just as soon have the extra
weight, though.”
Jimmy was a member of John
Warren’s freshman team last year,
and prepped at Salem high. In
1933 he was a member of that good
Salem team that played Washing
ton high of Portland for the state
championship but were beaten.
Playing against Nicholson was
Tony Amato, now a varsity guard
for the University of Oregon.

Billy Bob Boots for Bruins
i Billy Bob Willians, right, one of the most highly rated fullbucks in
the west, and a deadly place kicker, has missed but one attempt at
conversion this year and has booted three field goals for the Bruins
this year. Holding for him is Bob Sehroeder, first string right end and
] UCLA student prexy.
Maybe
I’m Wrong
By ORVAL HOPKINS
This week I started any number
of conversations with "Did you see
that I picked Northwestern to
whip Minnesota?” And all the
dolts came back with “Yeh but
how's about all those other little
numbers you missed?” So—I jus.
figured I better let the whole thing
ride, leave it lay, forget it. Indeed
I find the life of a prognosticator
to be one filled with the pitfalls
and ambushes, yea slings and ar
rows no less, of outrageous for
tune.
But enough of this and on to
the procrastination forthwith and
betimes. The Bruins of UCLA—
will this parade of my alma mater
never cease ?—even at this moment
champ and scrape around in one
of Portland's better hotels, waiting
to get at the sons of old Oregon.
Tha,t is, some of them do—the rest
of the forty-six are thankful they
got to come along for the ride.
Anyhow, I say the Lemonyellow
has a day coming and besides it
looks like rain. If it does, look for
the Ducks to come sloshing home
in front, 13 to 7. Do be wary, loyal
men, of the toe of one Billy Bob
Williams, about which I hear tall
tales of field goals and such.
What a day this will be in our
town, where Stanford and Wash
ington will beef at each other till
the shadows droop down over the
Indian rooting section and the
coeds whimper with the cold. And
what wouldn’t Tiny Thornhill give
for a Bill Paulman this day. I fear
Lpgg and Haines and those guys
have not forgotten the 1934 game
in which the great Grayson and
the near-great Hamilton inter
cepted passes from here to yonder
and the score was 24 to 0. Jimmy
Phelan will boot his Huskies on
down under—Washington 17, Stan
ford 7.
There’s lots of talk about Stub
Allison being out, at California,
even now. But don’t let them fool
you. Always come to old Trues
dale with questions such as this
and here’s the answer in a coupla
nutshells: If California can beat
USC and then Stanford in the big
game, little Stubby (he’s neither
little nor stubby now that I think)
will still be in there hawking his
wares next fall. Therefore that
Cal-USC game tomorrow in Los
Angeles is not the setup it appears
to be from here. The Golden Bears
came very close to whipping WSC
last week, the same team which
tied mighty SC earlier this year.

So there, see ? I think Cal’ll

Washington State shouldn't have
much trouble with OSC. If God
dard gets in there enough to scoot

men are anxious to establish it
here. Oregon’s independents will
pay their own expenses from mon

giving a dance next week.
Itvin Elder and Harold Draper are
in charge of the arrangements for
the game which will be played in

Tennis Finals to
Be Played Today
Bill Winston Defeats Beck
In Tourney Semi-finals;
To Play Hagopian
Will Winston, rangy Dclt netman,
was a step nearer the coveted title
of all-campus tennis champion to
day, as he succeeded in downing
Fred Beck, Fiji, in a semi-final
tennis match.
Playing with remarkable steadi
ness, he outlasted the hard fight
ihg Fiji and defeated him in
straight sets, 6-2 and 7-5. Wins
ton appeared' to have little difficul
ty in dropping his opponent in the
rather slow first set, but found go
ing a little tougher in the second
and was forced to go to 12 games
before he won the match.
Wnston was outstanding in net
rallies, eventually placing the ball
past his opponent to win the point.
Beck had a very nice serve and
was very consistent on back court
drives.
Winston, Hagopian to Play
Winston’s victory advances him
to the finals to oppose Dick Ha
gopian who reached the finals a
week ago. This match will be
played on the campus tennis courts
at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Ha
gopian has taken all his matches
in straight sets while Winston was
forced to go three in his match
with Don Good.
In pre-tournament laurels, both
men have enviable records. Ha
gopian was A.G.B.U. champion of
New England and No. 1 man and
captain of Paul Revere high school
in Boston, Mass. Winston, who
hails from Roseburg, was all-city
champion in that city, and has had
varsity experience on the Willam

Strong UCLA Team
Boasts Y eteranLine,
Speedy Backfield
Calliwon to Start Same
Lineup as Last Week;
Oregon lias Six W ins
To Two in Series
When Oregon's aerial-minded
Webfoots tnekle UCLA's Bruins in
Multnomah stadium at Portland
this afternoon, it will be the eighth
game in a highly interesting series.
Oregon has won six of the eight
contests, but all but one or two
have been nip-and-tuck affairs pro
viding myriad thrills. Today’s bat
tle promises as many spine-tin
gling moments as any of the oth
ers.
Bill Spalding's Bruins ate big
and formidable, despite their loss
to Stanford. They have a starting
line which averages slightly more
than 191 pounds and a group of
backs who scale even more and
have speed and' skill to go with the
pounds.
Spalding, Williams Lead
Billy Bob Williams and Young
Bill Spalding, son of the coach,
are the leading behind-thc-line
players on the Bruin roster. Old
Bill Spalding, young Bill's dad1 and
mentor at the Westwood school for
almost fifteen seasons, has a soph
omore left halfback almost as good
as young Bill in Hal Hirshon, and
the sophomore may draw the start
ing call.
Young Bill will take over the
heavy duty, however, along with
Williams; who plays fullback. Earle
Harris is the first string starter,
and Fred Funk the regular right
half. Other leading ball packers
are Don Ferguson and Izzy Can
tor. both of whom perform at left
half.
The Bruins, like Oregon, play
colorful football. The Webfoots un
leashed’ a colorful aerial attack last
Saturday against Washington and
probably will continue with it to
day. The Uclas also fling the
leather.
Duck Buckfichl Formidable
Oregon’s starting backfield will
include Arleigh Bentley or Don
Kennedy at quarter; Dave Gam
mon, left half; Bob Braddock, right
half, and Jean Lacan, fullback.
That combination opened against
Washington.
UCLA’s probable starting line,
the one which averages 191 pounds,
is composed of George Robinson
and Bob Schroeder, ends; Captain
George Dickerson and Pete Bar
ber, tackles; Bob Barr and Earl
Sargent, guards, and Sherman
Chavoor, center.
Bjork Leads Linemen
Opposing the Bruin forwards will
be an Oregon line which is the
equal of any on the coast. Captain
Del Bjork, already the recipient of
all-American mention, leads the
Webfoot front wall. Bjork plays
left tackle and at right tackle for
Prink Callison will be either Bill
Foskett or Kenyon Skinner. Guards
will be Tony Amato and Nello Gio
vanini, and at center will be Ver
non Moore or Ed Farrar. Ends ex
pected to start are John Yerby and
Hank Nilsen.

The Webfoots have yet to win a
conference game, although they
have tied Stanford and beaten Ida
ho, an associate member. Last
Saturday they gave indication of
having started on the way to suc
cess, and today the players are
counting on continuing on that
road. The men have exhibited lots
of fire and spirit in practice and
are determined to erase the sting
of the 33-to-6 defeat plastered
upon them by the Bruins last fall.
Prink Callison said yesterday
that he thought his team had a
good chance to win. All players,
including Tom Blackman and Joe
Hu.ston, are in good shape, accord
ing to Trainer Bill Hayward.
The team went through a light
workout, consisting mainly of
dummy scrimmage, last night. The
players will leave for Portland on
the 8:45 train thi3 morning. Ap
proximately the same traveling

trip.
