I* didn’t refer to
such an afternoon
as Oregon sind
Stanford picked
for their hrillisint
Tiny Thornhill exhibition. For
out there on the new turf of Hay
ward field approximately 10,000
fans witnessed sueh array of wide
open football as University of Ore
gon fans have seldom witnessed.
Not once did those gridders lat
eral the hail or some plays, but on
one oeeasion when Jim C'offis
sneaked through his own right
taekle into the Webfoot secondary,
the bail touched hands no less than
three times. I can remember but
one fumble which came as direct
result of this razzle-dazzle. Ore
gon was soaked 15 yards near
midfield once when Paul Itowe
passed the bail ahead.
Athletic manager Anse Cornell
shouldn’t be worrying too much
about ticket sales for the season,
figuring the way jackrobbit Jay
Graybeal, Bob Smith, and company
have started. In two games Oregon
has played before at least 40,000
fans. Another angle to it is the
way Minnesota and’ Pittsburgh
pack them in. People turn out en
masse to watch them play football
on the ground. Pittsburgh beat
Ohio State last year without toss
ing a pass. Take your choice.
Stanford's Mr. Thornhill inti
mated Friday that Southern Cali
fornia would stand a beautiful
chance to finish near the top if she
toppled Washington. Well, it did
n’t happen. Phelan’s Huskies beat
Troy Saturday, 7 to 0, in the man
ner they edged out Oregon last
fall. Simply by converting a first
quarter break into a touchdown,
and then holding Southern Califor
nia scoreless.
Pacific Coast conference football
has seen its first regular round of
games for 1937, and three teams
—Washington, UCLA, and Cali
fornia—two of them favored for
the title) — remain unbeaten. I
Washington State is still untested.
The third club favored by experts
before the season opened Is Stan
ford, which Prink Cullison's soph
omores dumped here' Saturday.

Scores on Pass
By BILL NORENE
With the varsity resting after!
their bruising 7 to 6 victory over
Stanford Saturday on Hayward ;
field’s new turf, the third string
took on the frosh for a short '•
scrimmage yesterday afternoon.
Cm i p vnnn n /11 rcm f N r fnonrtno .
ible for Saturday’s Stanford vic
tory: Bob Smith, who threw the
touchdown pass to Jay Graybeal
Graybeal, who leaped into the aii
to take Smith's pass and ther
eluded three Stanford men in hi?
tallying- run; Joe Huston, stellai
guard who kicked the extra point
and Bill Foskett, who blocked Glen
Hamilton’s attempted conversion
Fumble Paves Way
Oregon’s big break came early in
the second quarter, when a fumble
was recovered. There has been
much disagreement as to who re
covered the fumble, with some
backing Arleigh Bentley, reserve
quarterback, and some claiming
that Ellroy Jensen was responsible
for the act.
Regardless of whom it was,
Graybeal, who was calling signals,
crossed up the Stanford defense
by calling for a forward pass on
the first down. Jay then grabbed
the 26-yard toss and ran the other
25 yards for the touchdown.
Backfield Flashes
Oregon’s backfield flashed more
fireworks during the game than
they did all last season, but were
fortunate in pulling through with
a win as the weight advantage of
the burly Stanford forwards began
to tell in the latter part of the
game.
It was in the middle of the
fourth quarter that Graybeal un
successfully tried to take a punt
>n the run, fumbling on the Ore
gon 37 yard line.
Groves Sparks
Husky Jim Groves, junior col
lege transfer, led the redskin at
tack, which culminated a few min
utes later with Groves going over
left • tackle for two yards and a
touchdown.

in Saturday’s game which Oregon won 7 to 6.
By UKOKOE I’ASERO
BILL FOSKETT
William "Big Bill” Foskett, burly
tackle of the Webfoot football
team, can hereby take his place
with the great prognosticators oi
all time.
Let no man dispute his place in
the sun, for blonde Bill has earned
it fairly and squarely. In truth,
he predicted the trend of the Stan
ford game to the Emerald inter
viewer tw'o days before the Calli
son men stemmed the surge of Tiny
Thornhill and his “Laughing-boys.”
No, he did not give out the exact
score, but he did, without the aid
of the proverbial “crystal bowl,”
describe pleasantly and easily his
views on the tussle which was to
take place two days later on Hay
ward field’s new turf when the
mighty warriors of Oregon climbed
into the win column of the Pacific
coast conference by providing an
upset that was heard from Canada
to Palo Alto.
Said Mr. Foskett: “Our line has
improved its defense now, and if
we can stop their passes, we’ll win
the game. At any rate, you should
see some scoring on our part.”
The Duck line held in the clutch;
tiic um tin wucii
the chips were down; the team
scored points, and Oregon won.
All of which wotdd seem to open
the proggie’s charmed circle to thb
big broth of a boy who weighs a
j mere 2U> pounds and hails from
I Concord, California.
The only hitch in the proceeding:
I seems to come from the fact that
Bill used tactics which aren’t fully
I recognized in the star-gazer’s fra
ternity. tt seems he went out on
Hayward field Saturday, and aided
his effort as a dopester by block
ing the kick that would have given
Stanford a tie with Oregon and
defeated his cause.
Bill is one of the youngest prog
gies of all time, being only twenty,
but makes up for this lack of years
by standing six feet two inches in
the air, and by having played eight
years of football.
Track is this active junior’s main
forte when football season is con
eluded, tie is northwest champion
in the shot put, and consistently
clicks off a. distance around at) feet.
"Which do you like best, football
or track?"
"They’re both fun, about Che
same.”
"One more question, are you
looking forward to the Oregon
State game?"
“You bet 1 am," this big, likeable
Chi Psi member who has one
year of football and track left, re
plied, and the way he said it left
nothing for the crystal bowl to
reveal.

Delving into Don's history
we find that he was active in sports
in his high school career. For two
years he starred on the gridiron,
and when basketball rolled around
he participated in that too. Last
year he was selected on the All

that he is equally adept in more
than one sport. For spring he was

Hockey is one organized team
sport that women can play until
they are seventy, and although
none of that age turned out in the
first hockey practice of the sea
son, October 4, on Gerlinger field,
the girls' enthusiastic approval of
the game gave every indication of
their continuing until that time.
The teams were composed of
both experienced and inexperi
enced giiils. Everyone is urged to
turn out to play. Those that al
ready know how should come out
and play more and improve their
game, ana those that do not know
how should turn out to learn.
All equipment is furnished free
of charge. New hockey tunics have
been provided this year. The time
is 4 to 5 o’clock every day.
The tournament will start Mon

The Golden Bears of California
and the Huskies of the University
of Washington led the way over
the hump today, following weekend
victories over Oregon State and
USC, respectively. Oregon's snap
py sophomores accounted for the
other coast conference victory of
the weekend when they upset a
heavily favored Stanford team by
a 7 to 6 count.

In the only other weekend games
of any importance played on the
Pacific coast, Washington State
took the measure of the Idaho Van
dals, while Gonzaga and St. Marys
battled to a scoreless tie.
Favorites Win
Both California and Washington,
pre-season favorites to battle it out
for the title, proved themselves
capable of capitalizing on their
enemy's miscues.
Washington took quick advan
tage of a first quarter break to
score the lone touchdown of the
game with USC, while four bad
fumbles by Oregon State backfield
men contributed much to the
downfall of the Beavers by Cali
fornia. When the smoke cleared 71
after the battle California had a
24 to 6 victory in her grasp, with
all four touchdowns resulting from
fumbles.
First in Thirteen
A second quarter touchdown
pass from Southpaw Bob Smith to
Jay Graybeal proved to be the win
ning counter in Oregon’s first vic
tory over a Stanford team in the
thirteen games played by the two
teams.
Coast conference games for this
iveek will find Washington State
pitted against California at Berk
eley, UCLA playing Stanford at
Palo Alto, and Washington enter
taining Oregon State at Seattle.
