j 7ootball Still a He Man's Sport
Says Prof; Brains Needed Too
» —ii ,
In spite of the opinions of many old-time football fans, that modern
fbotball is sissy, Professor H. C. Howe of the English department who
one of Oregon’s faculty representatives in the Pacific coast con
ference, says otherwise.
“Today a football player must be on the alert, fast on his feet,
and ready for any number of 20 different plays,” he maintains. “More
speea, more alertness, ana more
intelligence are required to play
the game. In the old days football
was just a game of shove. The
players got down and pushed and
the best pushers won. They din’t
have to be fast, and there was no
strain on their minds. But you
can’t play the modern game like
that. It’s too fast!’'
About 1889, 1890, and there
abouts there were more injuries in
one game than we now have in the
whole season, Professor Howe said.
“The public was opposed to it.
They wanted the chance of death
and serious injury reduced, and it
took a succsesion of changes to
make the game safer for players
and more interesting for*the spec
tators,” he said.
Professor Howe believes that the
new rules have done much to make
football more spectacular and that
at the present time it is anything
but a sissy game.

Make Ready for
Spring Opening
Coach Tex Oliver’s formal spring
opening will be held tomorrow af
ternoon at 4:30 when his green
clad gridders tangle with an as
sorted group of Oregon stars of
years past.
The game will contrast defens
ive-minded' teams of Prink Calli
son days with the open style play
ing which Coach Oliver has
brought from Arizona.
The All-Star team will rely
mainly on the defensive ability of
its line. With Stan Riordan and
Butch Morse at ends, Del Bjork
and Chan Berry at tackles, Tony
Amato and Ross Carter at guards,
and Vern Moore at center, the al
umni aggregation will offer one
of the toughest lines the Oliver
men could possibly run up against.
Other possible stars are Bill
Morgan and Bernie Hughes, who
have not arrived on the Oregon
campus as yet, but may appear
for the game.
Backfield positions are being
filled by Jerry Donnell, Maury
Van Vliet, Romey de Pittard, and
Steve Fowler. Fowler, a frosh
football prospect for next year,
will cover the blocking back as
signment, Donnell will be at the
fullback position, while Van Vliet
and de Pittard will start at halfs.
The All-Stars will have one su
perior department over the var
sity. Stan Riordan’s long distance
kicking will excel anything the
varsity can put up. Riordan has
geen. getting off 50 and 60 yard
punts consistently in practice
workouts.
