Durable as the Rock of (llbral

leading football coaches. “Once i
coach, always a coach” seems to b(
their philosophy. Take Hugo Be/,
deck for instance. He tutorei
Oregon’s great team of 1916 int<
the Rose Bowl, and now—21 year
later—is coaching the Cleveland
Rams in pro football.
There was a stretch of sever
years up to this fall when he wai
on the sidelines as director of th<
school of physical education an<
athletics at the Pennsylvania Ktati
college, but Hugo is once more if
the big swim. Of course he isn'
the most durable by all means, thal
honor must he retained for thi
grand old man of football, Amof
Alonzo Stagg.
Stagg first coached football bad
in 1891 at a Massachusetts train
ing school. Now, with 46 years ol
gridiron lore tueked away, he b

‘‘Football's grand old man” cel

Most of our Oregon grads at

but not an Oregon Stater. At least
not Howard Lyman, sometimes

Rather silly these football feuds
between different sections of the
country. We have ’em between
Pcdunk of the Southeast, and
Yarvard of the North, between
conferences of rival sections, or
the plain East and West.
For instance, the Big Ten con
ference of Michigan, Minnesota,
etc., have bragged for years of
playing tougher hall than the coast
conferences. This is very possible,
of course, for they have played or
ganized ball longer, hut national
championship ratings by Professor
Frank Dickinson, of Illinois uni
versity since 1924, give Big Ten
teams but four titles to three for
the Coast conference.
It’s a time-worn scrap between
teams of California and the North
west. Nothing serious, Imt still
those biting words of sarcasm.
From southern football powers
early this fall came threats of com
pletely dominating the conference.
At present they seem to be making
good. California's unbeaten Bears
are still in front, with Southern
California and Stanford rigid be

Passes Bring Scores
Jay Graybeal, who has scored
on a pass against every confer
ence opponent that Oregon has run
up against, took part in practice
yesterday afternoon for the first
time this week.
The return of Graybeal gives
the Smith to Graybeal pass com

which clicked in all these games,
a chance to dope out some more
poison for Oregon State.
At that, it is doubtful if the
Pendleton Jackrabbit needs very
much help doping out plays. He is
credited with originating the two
Oregon pass plays which took the
Webfoots to the Trojan 312-yard
line. On the second of the two

plays, Jay took a lateral from Ar

Chi Psis Release
Bear Story; End
Is Incapacitated
Coaches, Managers
Confer as to Rules
For Classic
By WEN BROOKS
One more Chi Psi footballer is
off the payroll, according' to latest
reports from the lodge, and will,
in all likelihood, be forced to see
Sunday’s thriller from the bench.
This time scrimmage claims an
end, none other than “Shadow
Jack” Huemmer, one of the fastest
men on the squad. Coach Williams,
though a little depressed at the
| loss of "Fleet-foot” Jack, said yes
terday his men were still “defi
nitely in the running” and would
give the Phi Psis a battle if they
j had to wear crutches to do so . . .
he inferred strongly his gridsters
j could even beat the Phi Psis on
! crutches.
Both ball clubs are easing up on
scrimmage and devoting most of
Lhe practice sessions to light signal
drill and pass receiving. Unless it
j rains Sunday, fans should see a
Plenty of action in a game that is
; bound to be wide open with lots of
! passing and probably lots of fumbl
ing.
Have Bull Session
Coachgs and managers of both
clubs met last night at the lodge
to formulate rules governing this
year’s contest. It was decided foot
I ball shoes would be out, as would
i any shoes with cleats or hard soles.
Not being superstitious, the mem
bers decided the game should con
sist of four “thirteen-minute” quar
ters.
Reports late Wednesday night
continued to give the Phi Psis a
slight advantage over the Lodgers
in the coming game. Rumors have
it that the Phi Psis, at least the
l hi Psi pledges, will be in "plenty
good” condition by starting time
Sunday . . . seems there’s a bit of
work lined up for the boys at the
house on Eleventh due to some
peculiar disturbance which took
place Tuesday night.

By GEORGE PASERO
Jovial Chuck Taylor, the hoop game’s professional showman and
exhibition artist deluxe, twirled a seamless basketball on the tips of
three sensitive fingers, looked intently at the whirling sphere, and
declared that the popularity of the game is increasing with leaps and
bounds all over the country, not overlooking, of course, the west coast
wilts i t: iits atiiu rtumts ui tilts ucai
teams of the country are produced.
Talking rapidly while donning
his sweat-shirt and black trousers
prior to his exhibition on McArthur
court Tuesday night, the genial big
fellow who can do marvels with a
basketball, let it be known, in be
tween handshakes with admiring
friends, that the possibilities of the
maple court game for both players
and spectators are just beginning
to be realized.
Gaining Foothold
“Basketball has been just like
any new thing in that it takes time
for it to gain a foothold. All the
high schools are building fine
gymnasiums now, and the young
boys are playing the game. That
means increased popularity and
better play, for when, and only
when, the kids start playing will a
sport establish itself," he comment
ed.
Answering the question, “Are
the west coast teams on a par with
those of the east and middle
west?" he said, “Yes, I think so.
You remember a couple of years
ago when the University of Wash
ington went to New York for the
Olympic tryouts. The Huskies
were a fine club and the best of
the college teams.’’
Travels Plenty
Mr. Taylor, who probably travels
more basketball miles than any
other man in the United States
feels that the elimination of the
center jump adds little to the game
of basketball itself.
"It doesn’t mean a thing,” was
his answer to the query of whether
the new ruling ousting the center
tip sped up the play.
1 he professional artist appeared
here for the first time two years
ago and exhibited basketball tech
nique. Taylor had booked a tour
through this section of the country
last year, but had to cancel it when
lie was caught in the big Ohio river
flood.

Kentucky, and I couldn’t even get
home. There was 90 miles of wa
ter between me and Columbus, and
that’s too far to swim.”
An ex-professional star, having
played with the old Buffalo Ger
mans and New York Celtics, Taylor
has passed his active playing days,
and now spends the fall and winter
instructing basketball to the Am
erican people as a whole. He quit
playing when the professional
leagues disbanded a few years ago.
Five Hundred Out ,
A good five hundred basketball
fans turned out to see the show
put on by Taylor and nine of
Hobby Hobson’s varsity men—Ford
Mullen, Wally Johansen, Bob Anet,
Laddy Gale, Slim Wintermute, Ray
Jewell, Ted Sarpola, Bob Hardy
and Dave Silver.
The first hour was devoted to
proper offensive and defensive
play, ball-handling and the art of
shooting, with the 190-pound six
foot Taylor giving a demonstration
of deceptive passing and accurate
shooting.
The second half of the show con
sisted of moving pictures of the
foremost basketball systems and
coaches of the country, including
such notables as George Keogan,
coach of Notre Dame, and John
Bunn of Stanford.

Victory Column •
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Oct. 20.—-Bent on col
lecting revenge for the 19 to 12
spanking handed them hy the Web
foot frosh in the first meeting,
Oregon State’s Orange Babes will
clash with the University of Ore
gon frosh on Bell field’s new turf
here Friday night at 8 o’clock.
“Wild Bill” McKalip, freshman
head coach, concentrated on block
ing assignments in the early drills
this week before turning to the
offensive attack which includes a
speedy running attack plus a po
tentially effective passing game.
Babes Are Winless
Thus far in their campaigning,
the Beaver yearlings have yet to
post their first victory. Following
the defeat at the hands of the
Oregon babes, Oregon Normal held
the Rooks to a 7-7 tie.
Heading the Orange starting
group will be Kenny “Rowdy”
Dow, ace ball packer and tosser
from Great Falls, Mont., and his
fellow Montanan, Joe Tomich, from
Butte. Dow plays fullback while
Tomich takes care of quarterback
duties. Jake Hergert, ex-Jefferson
high of Portland star, probably
will start at right halfback with
Dick Mehlhof, Sutton, Neb., left
half.
Portlanders Star
Outstanding among the Orange
rook linemen are Leonard Younce,
husky ex-Roosevelt high of Port
land, and Ray Wolf, former Jef
ferson star. Younce plays right
tackle and does the team’s punting.
Other probable starters with this
pair include Eldred Swendall and
Gordon Ferris, ends; Monty Tuck
er, center; Vic Sears, left tackle;
and Jack Oglesby, left guard.
General admission tickets for the
classic are 75 cents for adults and
40 cents for high school students
and children.

The ADPis defeated the Wo
men’s Co-op in volleyball by a
score of 28-22 in a speedy, well
played game Wednesday afternoon
in the women’s gym. The score at
half was 10-20. In the beginning
of the game the Co-op girls were
too tense but they clicked in the
last half, out-playing the Alpha
Delts although unable to make up
the lead gain from the first five
minutes of the game. The Alpha
Delts played a very good defense
line.
Lineups were: Alpha Delts —

Overstreet, RB; Jacobs, CB; Smith,

MARSHALL STENSTROM
Another player from the ranks
of all-stars now girding- them
selves for a place on -next year’s
varsity squad. He is “Stinky”
Stenstrom as the “gang” on the
field call him. Broadway high is
where “Stinky” was tutored in the
art of football. He was taught
well, for he was chosen all-star at
the all-important position of full
back.
1 The “One Man Gang,” as he was
often called, is a rugged and bur
ly, rough-going sort of player. A
super line-plunger, and equally
adept at packing the mail, and lo!
behold those who get in his way,
for when he hits them they stay
put. He has a very valuable
knack of plowing through the line
with a bent over locomotive power
style, it is similar to that of the
famed Nebraskan, George Sauer.
In all the games thus far “Stin
ky” has been right in the thick of
play. From all indications he will
probably start against the Rooks
this Friday. However, in fairness
to Chet Haliski who has shared
the fullback post with “Stinky” we
might say that both are evenly
rated. Haliski has been one of the
big guns in all the games to date
but will be out due to a side in
jury. So the burden will fall on
the shoulders of “Our One Man
Gang” Stenstrom, the flash from
Seattle, Washington.

With the appearance of quarter
back Chet Haliski in tomorrow
night’s rook fracas still in the hat,
“Honest John” Warren sent his
yearlings through a passing and
signal drill last night.
Suffering from a pulled back
muscle and a slightly injured shoul
der, Haliski spent last night in the
infirmary. Whether he will super
vice the frosh army in the second
battle of “the little civil war” to
morrow is still on the teeter-totter.
Schultz in Reserve
Gene Schultz, La Grande quarter,
is all set to fill Haliski’s shoes if
he fails to don grid togs.
Emphasizing an aerial attack,
Warren primed his boys for a wide
open offense. Signal practice filled
the balance of yesterday's bill of
fare.
The tentative starting lineup is
Bob Hendershott, left end; Wallace
White, left tackle; Worthy Blais
