By ELBERT HAWKINS
William H. (Bill) Spaulding, a
mean quipster on anybody’s grid
iron—he also coaches at UCLA—
teenly surveyed Hayward field yes
terday and after weighty delibera
tion made his momentous state
ment. “That’s good turf—I hope
you guys don’t turn a hose on it
tonight.”
Being from California, and
coaching a football team that Is
given odds of from 2/t to 1 to 7 to
5 to beat Oregon today, he natural
ly wants a hot dry day, but so do a
lot of Eugenians.
The veteran Uclan coach has
a lot of respect for Oregon’s pop
ular Tex Oliver. What team in the
conference worries him most now?
Oregon! "They were plenty tough
last year. They’re in their second
year together now . . .”
* * *
As for Tex Oliver’s official pre
igame comment? “I expect our
boys to put up a fine game of
football, and if the breaks are even
anybody can win. If the breaks
go enough our way . . There you
have it.
Rain or shine, Tex figures to
take the game as it comes. He
reasons that both teams play on
the same field, and that weather
won’t make much difference if
they play good ball.
Quipster Spaulding announced
out of thin air yesterday, unsolic
ited, why he doesn’t follow Coach
Oliver in the relatively infant idea
of coaching his team from the
press box during games. “You
can’t do it in Los Angeles,” he
[pronounced; “you can’t see the
field from the press box.”
* * *
From the Bruin camp comes
definite lyord that Joe E. Brown,
the cavity-mouthed screen come
dian, was unable to come north to
watch Son Joe L. play at end
against Oregon.
Shunning a double in recent
Filming of “The Gladiator,” Joe E.
picked up Man Mountain Dean—
who weighs much nearer 800 than
200 pounds — and tossed him
around as part of a scene, injur
ing himself.
An operation resulted and Joe E.
was forced to bed. He saw last
peek’s Iowa game from a stretcher.
Ordinarily he comes to all of
UCLA’s grid practices and chins
with the players, several of whom
he is sending through school.
John Roth well, sports editor of
the UCLA Daily Bruin, traveling
with the team, confides that jovial
Mr. Spaulding resorts to an age
old quotation when asked about
his offense. You remember, "First
we try the end, then we pass one,
then we buck the line—and then
we have to punt.”
UCLA may inherit a trip to the
Hawaiian islands after the regu
lar season, if Southern California
makes the Rose Bowl ... a work
ing agreement between Spaulding
and Howard Jones ... of course
the Trojans only have to beat seven
other coast conference teams on
successive Saturdays.
Rothwell says, "Down there
(meaning Westwood) they don’t
consider the football season start
ed until Joe E. Brown has ap
peared , . . Don Brown, another
son of Joe E.'s, is student body
president at UCLA . . . he junked
a third string guard job on the
football team for the executive po
sition as he figured lie could help
the team better there . . . both sons
of Joe E. Brown, Prexy Don and
End Joe L., are adopted.
* * *
Thirty-two years of football
roacnlng is enough, figures Bill
Spaulding, who lias already an
nounced his voluntary retirement
to accept a more stable post as
athletic, director at UCLA after
the 1938 season . . . he lauds Tex
Oliver as a hard worker . . .
Spaulding prediets that the foot
ball world will iH'gin to notice the
power of {Southern California in
about two weeks . , . Scout Cliff
Simpson, who traveled north with
the Bruins, says Oregon's Hay
ward field press box is the best in
the conference for actually watch
ing games.
Humorous answer of Spauld
ings to the question ol how much
be lias changed offenses in 3)1
years of coaching . . . “Then 1 sent
a halfback around left end—now I
tend him at right guard” . . . t Cl.A
[days Washington State in Pullman
this year ... the Bruins think Ore
gon’s defeat of WSC in the Cou
gar lair, where Bahe liolliughery’s
teams seldom lose, really some
thing ■ 4 . Kenny Washington's
longest fiass on record last year—
63 yards—was an uausually high
one, almost overshooting its man.

dian, is slated for left end, and will
share the spotlight with UCLA’s
two negro sensations, Kenny
Washington and Woodrow Wilson
Strode.
Washington Chief Threat
Washington, brilliant left half
back, is the back the Oregons
fear most. Last year, this great
negro thrower completed a 62
yard pass, one of the longest ever
thrown on the coast. On him will
hinge the Bruiiis’ chief hopes for
victory via the overhead route.
Strode, a gigantic negro who
tips the beam at the 220-pound
mark, catches most of Washing
ton’s heaves and will open at right
end.
The jocular Spaulding, veteran
of 32 years of coaching football,
nominated C. M. "Slats” Wyrick,
a movie extra from the land of
make believe and Brewster Broad
well to hold down the tackle posi
tions.
At guards will be Co-Captain
Oeorge Pfeiffer and Jack Som
mers and at center will be Johnny
Ryland, a speedy pivotman who is
regarded by many sporting ex
perts as the most under-rated
napper-back on the coast.
UCLA Has Fast Backs
UCLA’s backfield is one of the
fastest on the coast, and his speed,
combined with the passing talent
of Washington, Hirshon, Fenen
bock, and Warren Haslam, the
fullback, should give Webfoot fans
a hectic afternoon.
Ned Mathews is replacing Hir
shon at quarterback. Dale Gil
more is set to block from his right
halfback post clearing the way for
Washington at halfback. Haslam,
a sophomore fullback, is a deadly
shortpasser and gets the call at
his position.
Spaulding’s opening quartet are
fast, but his reserves are even
speedier. Gordon Mollett is a 9.6
second man in track, and Merle
Harris’ time in the century is only
slightly slower. 11
Oregon Lineup Uncertain
Coach Oliver would not name a
definite starting lineup, but admit
ted that he would probably call
upon the same eleven men who
opened against Washington State
last Saturday.
This eleven has Captain John
Yerby and Bud Robertson at ends,
Elroy Jensen and bruising Bill
Foskett at tackles, Jim Cadenasso
at center, and Nello Giovanini anti
Mel Passolt at the guards.
In the backfield, Hank Nilsen,
quarterback; "Jimmy the Nick”
Nicholson, left halfback; Ted Geb
hardt, long pur/.ing right half
back; and Frank Emmons, full
back, will get the nod.
Jay Graybeal, pride and joy of
the Webfoot fans, will be held in
reserve until a definite “spot”
comes and then Oliver will un
doubtedly inject the jackrabbit
into the game.
Other Webfoots who will prob
ably see action are tackles, Merle
Peters; guard, Cece Walden; cen
ters, A1 Samuelson and Erling
Jacobsen; ends, Larry Lance and
Vic Reginato; quarterbacks, Den
ny Donovan and Chet Haliski;
halfbacks, Duke Hankinson, Steve
Anderson, Lon Isberg and Dave!
Gammon; and fullbacks, Bob
Smith and Marsh Stenstrom.
Heart Check-up Due

Curtain Rises Soon
Scheduled intramural athletics will soon be ready to make their
debut on the Oregon campus for the 1938-39 season, Paul R. Washke,
faculty director of the donut activities, announced yesterday, when
copies of the new sports handbook were distributed.
Tennis, golf, cross country, and two leagues of volleyball are
expected to furnish ample opportunity for inter-house competition
Webfoots Two-up
In Ten-par Rivalrg
Ten year rivalry will again be
resumed on the green turf at Hay
ward field this afternoon when the
Uclan and Oregon grid teams
again clash.
The Ducks are fired by a desire
to erase the past three defeats
suffered at the hands of the
Bruins from the southland. In
1934 Oregon snapped into action
with Frank Michele and Maury
Van Vliet as the chief sparkplugs
of a rampaging Duck outfit which
trimmed UCLA 26-3 in the Port
land stadium.
In 1928 rivalry Oregon prompt
ly took off witli four marks in the
win column. The Bruins reversed
the decision in 1932 and since then
the Ducks have broken through
only twice in 1933 and '34.
