ORDER OF EVENTS . . . Spring
■—Oregon needs tackles badly . . .
summer—G. A. Oliver ‘'vacations”
in California . . . fall—two tackles,
Sims Hamilton and Will Dolman,
register as J. C. transfers from
California.
Ironically, though, new transfers
won't carry the load against Wash
ington State in Pullman, Saturday.
It’ll be virtually the same material
Oregon had a year ago with the ad
dition of some very spry freshmen
from Honest John Warren’s frosh
team of 1937.
Only two newcomers to the Ore
gon squad, Guard John Nestor and
Tackle Hamilton, made the travel
ing squad. Both are rated as re
serves. The return of big Bill Fos
kett, star of two campaigns, to
school has eased the tackle problem
considerably.

Genial Tex Oliver, Oregon’s
headman, who won his nickname—
yes, because he’s from Texas—eyes
a very tough football season for any
coast team, and hirf bets for the
Rose Bowl are Washington, Cali
fornia, and Southern California.
As you’ll notice, he doesn’t climb
out on the proverbial limb by put
ting his own Ducks on top, nor does
any other coach. In his own crystal
gazing for Bruce Hamby’s public
ity on the Webfoots, “Duck Dope,”
he says nothing drastic about Ore
gon’s opponents of Saturday, Wash
ington State, except that Coach'

At Pullman Saturday
Coach Tex Oliver in Coast Conference Debut;
Revived Offensive Power Gives Webfoot
Fans Hope for Initial Win
By GEORGE PASERO
It will be the “Oliver Twist” of Oregon football versus Washington
State’s “Susy Q” shift in the opening jam session of Pacific Coast
conference football play at Pullman Saturday afternoon when the
streamlined Duck squares off with the high-stepping Cougar.
Making his conference debut in the role of Oregon headman, the
“Little Napoleon" of Lemon anc
Green fortunes, is expected tc
show the northwest a new brand
of football. Oliver’s football, com
bining the Warner, Jones and
Rockne systems, will definitely
have a swingy tinge. Laterals,
forwards, spread formations, and
wide sweeps that are designed to
break the ball-carrier into the
open, have been predicted as char
acteristic of the Oregon attack.
Babe May “Wow ’Em”
On the other hand, the cagy
Babe Hollingbery of Washington
State, one of the shrewdest tacti
cians on the Pacific slope and cer
tainly one of the longest-lived, is
ready to spring a new, “puzzle
’em” shift of his own.

Prince Callison, feasted on Cougar

Multnomah stadium, 10-6. Jim
Nicholson’s field goal and Jay
Graybeal’s gallop turned the trick.
On Oliver’s probable first string
are practically the same eleven
gridders who conquered the hip
rolling Cougar band last year. But
reports from the stadium that
nestles in the midst of the Palouse
| hills rate the Hollingbery-coached
, squad as a much-improved aggre
gation—one that is going to make
it tough for the leaders in the pen
nant race.
Lineup Uncertain
Oregon’s soft-spoken headman
has not divulged his starting line
up, but grandstand coaches are
serving up starting assignments to
John Yerby and Vic Reginato at
ends; Elroy Jensen at right tackle;
Nello Giovanini at left guard;. Jim
Cadenasso at center; Hank Nilsen
at quarterback, and Frank Em
mons at fullback.
The otiher positions 'are con
sidered very much open.
At left tackle the choice has
been made difficult by the return
to school of Bill Foskett, and the
rapid rise of big Russ Inskeep to
a contending position. Merle
Peters, the starter at this position
in spring practice, may also get
the nod.
Passolt vs. Walden
Mel Passolt and Cece Walden
l are staging a hot fight for the
starting assignment at right
guard, while both halfback berths
are still up in the air.
Most likely starter at left half
back is Salem’s Jimmy Nicholson,
the spry young man who is equally
adept at running and passing.
Speed boy Jay Graybeal, the
Pendleton “Jackrabbit,” may get
the nod, and will alternate with
Nicholson.
The right halfback job may go
to Ted Gebhardt, the hard-block
ing and long-kicking lad from
California. Bob Smith, Graybeal’s
passing mate, will see plenty of
action even if he doesn’t start.
All potential starters but Pas
solt are lettermen.
Cougar Line Strong
Although losing his prize sopho
more fullback find, Ted Zydowsky,
to pro baseball, Hollingbery’s
cause is looking up.
Hollingbery’s line is his main
forte. He has veteran ends and
tackles, a veteran center and a
pair of big rough sophomores at
guards. George Hubert and Dick
Farman are the tackles Holling
bery hopes will find a place for
themselves in the midst of the
Duck bacfield quartet.
John Klumb, one of the coast’s
best ends, and Joe McClellan, hold
down the wingposts, while Ken
Devine is at center.
Sophomores at Guard
The sophomore guards are Don
Knapp and 240-pound Hank Huo
vila of Grays Harbor.
Three triple-threaters — Eddie
Bayne, Paul Callow, and Dick
Emerson are available for left
halfback duty. All are veterans.

Meetings
A glance at the gridiron past
between the Oregon Webfoots and
Washington State college shows
the Cougars holding an 8 to 5 edge
in games won and lost. Out of
16 meetings, three were deadlocks.
Babe Hollingbery, the daddy of
coast mentors, has beaten Oregon;
twice in three meetings, 7 to 0
in 1926, 3 to 0 in 1936, and he lost
10 to 6 last fall in a bitter struggle
on Multnomah field in Portland.
Tex Oliver, new Oregon headman,
of course starts with a clean slate
against the Cougars of W.S.C.
Rivalry started back in 1901 be
tween the two clubs, Washington
State winning, 16 to 0. It wasn’t
until the third meeting in 1911
that Oregon won, 6 to 0. Over the

OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Sept. 22—To climax a
week of strenuous drill, the Ore
gon State college Beaver football
squad went through a gruelling
two-hour scrimmage behind closed
doors last Saturday to put on the
final touches before easing off this
week for the meeting with the
University of Idaho Vandals on
Bell field Saturday at 2 o’clock.
Picked elevens battled for two
full hours under the watchful eye
of Lon Stiner, Beaver headman,
and from the showing, the selec
tions for the starting berths are
likely to be made. Stiner failed to
mention just who had the edge
at the left half berth, where Hal
Higgins, Jim Kisselburgh, Vic
Kohler and Bob Olson are battling
for the starting bid.
Still out of action were John
Hackenbruck and Don Coons, both
lettermen from last .year who were
benched with injuries. Coons broke
his nose during a mid-week scrim
mage but is expected to be on hand
by game time this week-end. Hack
enbruck has infection in both feet
and hasn’t really turned out for
practice this fall, but has been
confined to conditioning exercises.
Walt Jelsma, transfer, will likely
get the nod at the left tackle
berth which was slated for Hack
enbruck.
The starting backfield is still a
matter for “guessing” on the part
of the sideline “experts” for sev
eral men seem to be getting equal
attention. Jim Kisselburgh, Hal
Higgins, Joe Tomich, Ben Ell, .Ken
Dow, Bob Olson and Morrie Koh
ler are top-flight contenders for
kick-off berths behind the line,
rhe only apparently “cinched”
spot in the backfield is the quar
terback post which Jay Mercer
seems to have under his thumb.
Mercer is the only returning regu
lar in the rear rank.
Reports from Idaho are begin
ling to sift into the Beaver camp
ind Stiner isn’t going to have his
men expecting an early iseason
‘warm-up” with the Vandals. Still
fresh in the memories of many is
the 7 to 6 beating the Beavers
took at Moscow last year in an
jarly season upset.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Mos
cow, Sept. 22 — King optimism
reigns on the University of Idahc
campus as the Vandal football
team nears its opening king’s-x
engagement against Oregon State
Nineteen lettermen, plus left
over reserves, several sophomores,
and likely junior college transfers
have added to the prospects of the
Idaho football team for 1938
Coach Ted Bank and his assist
ants started training the coming
Idaho team, September 8, for one
of the hardest 10-game schedules
in Idaho football History.
Coach Bank has reached the
conclusion that the coming season
is not such a dark cloud as he had
anticipated. Reserve strength for
all positions has popped up in in
dividuals to surprise the Idaho
coaches. Weak at center, tackle
and end, Bank has found in the
short time out that his end and
center worries have been settled
and that 10 men are on their way
to build up the tackle reserve
posts.
