California Bears and Washington Rated as Conference Powers With the opening of conference football coming up faster than a Chinese retreat, the time is at hand to take a quick trip around the circuit and find out just who is going to play in the Rose Bowl, and Why and how and other pertinent details. The closest outfit to her, but not Pasadena, is our friends down the road, Oregon State. Lon Stiner, the bushy-haired Orange mentor has his squad in top shape for their opener against Idaho this Saturday. one of the best teams to represent the state institution in many years, are flaunting a pair of potential all-American backfield candidates in Joe Gray and Elmer Kolberg left hajf and fullback, respective ly Veterans fill every post in the line and Stiner claims his currenl ball club as good as the famed “Iron Man" eleven of several years back. That Oregon State will be a much harder hurdle this year than last is the general consensus. Washington Keeping in the northern clime the next candidate — regarded by many as a repeater for Rose Bowl honors is the ever-potent pack of Huskies from the University of Washington, who are “mushed” along by that genial Irishman, Jim my Phelan. Faced with the loss of his im mortal backfield combination of By Haines, Jimmy Cain, Elmer Logg, and Ed Nowogroski, Phelan has dug deep in his parka and fished UNIVERSITY TAILOR WELCOMES STUDENTS We still continue to serve you as your tail or, and for cleaning and pressing.

Fritz Waskowitz, teamed with Jim my Johnston, A1 Cruver and Chuck Newton, will endeavor to make Husky fans forget the stars of former years. While Phelan is gloomy as usual over his prospects, railbirds rank his team, along with the youthful Southern California squad, as the teams to beat this year. Southern California Down in Los Angeles under the careful eye of headman Howard Jones, a bevy of youthful prospects, have been working hard to put Southern California back in the gridiron limelight, which they once so dominated. Heading the list of outstanding performers is Ambrose Schindler, hard-driving 175 - pound signal barker, whi has first call at the quarterback post. If he escapes the injury jinx which followed him last year he should have a big year with the men of Troy. Except for left tackle and center. Headman Jones will have two let termen turning out for each berth on the team. In addition to 19 re turning lettermen, a host of out standing performers are up from last year’s frosh team. This is Jones’ thirteenth year at the Tro jan helm but it promises to be a lucky one. Washington State It might be wise to jump back north to the Palouse country where i Orin Hollingsberry has been step ping a squad of 40 players in double time in preparation for nine tough games on successive weekends. Activity on Rogers field leaves little doubt but that the Cougars will go in strong for aerial man euvers in 1937, as Hollingsberry has had his passing artists busy firing pigskin bombs steadily since the opening day. Loss of big Ed Goddard, all American backfield star, will be keenly felt but Eddie Bayne, slen der passing threat, is expected to carry the brut of the backfield burden. With three left-handed passers, a strong line, and good reserves, the Cougars will have to be counted in for the New Year’s day gravy.

That's the heading I of a hook put out this summer hy Bruce Hamby, Oregon pub licity chieftain, about Brink Callison’s Webfoot gridmen. Well—we wonder about that. Bruce. One thing sure about it. Oregon's gridiron history will read I P this season. That j is the only direction the Ducks can travel. Down on Los Angeles j turf this evening Oregon’s green sophomores face their first! opposition in a scrappy 1'CLA team which remains to be tested. Down in the l'elan stronghold they're saying this. “A chain is as strong as its weakest link—a football team is as strong as i its weakest link a football team is as strong as its line. Behind a crack line the Bruins could easily skyrocket into the front rank of Pacific coast contenders, for the backfield is second to itone." Right there is where foxy Bill Spaulding pauses to scratch his head. # « * Oregon s 1936 eleven presented a reverse headache to silent Prink. Line Coach Gene Shields had a forward wall paced by blonde Del B.jork, all-coast tackle, that would compare with the best. There was no Mike Mikulak at fullback, no Leighton Gee for those stirring cutbacks off tackle, nor no Johnny Kitz I miller, however, so for the first time in many years an Oregon team finished in the second division. It is a very different story now. The bottom was reached, I and with a lineup sprinkled by ambitious sophomore talent, the Wehfoot coaching staff is starting a New Deal this fall—a period of reconstruction. Mistakes will be made—sophomore teams always do—and games will be lost, but the Ducks are certain to pull some surprises. A “darkhorse team” has all of the breaks in psychology. Most of the wise hoys are picking Washington's 1936 Rose Bowl team and Stub Allison’s California Golden Bears as poten tial coast conference champions. They have the material and on that basis rate it. Placed upon the pillar for first division honors are also Howard Jones’ rejuvenated Trojans from USC, and Tiny Thornhill’s laughing Stanford boys. '* ' * * ' • That leaves Oregon. Babe Ilollingberrv\s always-tough. but Goddarless Washington Staters, Lon Stiner's merry razzle dazzle Oregon Staters, and the Bruins of I'C’LA out in the cold. Those four teams aren't expected to produce much under exist ing conditions, but are a cinch to make those favored lads sweat this fall. s YOUR CAMPUS CORD STORE IN EUGENE ERIC MERRELL’S GY STUDENT FORTH . . .

The Comets, by far the most modest team in the league last year, have lined up a list of po tential all-stars according to re ports released by Howard Over back, team secretary.
