October 12, 1935, Is a significant
date in Fordham athletic history.
It was on that day the Rams lost
their last home game at the Polo
grounds.
These rambling Rams have real
ly rambled in the three years and
a week since then under the tutcl
afe of “Sleepy” Jim Crowley, for
mer member of Knute Rockne’s
Notre Dame “Four Horsemen.”
They have dropped only one
game in approximately 25 starts
since that day. Is it no wonder
that eastern sports writers, are
quoting odds of 3 to 1 for a Ford
ham win over Oregon?
The significance is that the
world won’t be much shocked if
Oregon loses, but think of the
rumpus it’ll stir up if Tex Oliver’s
anfbitlous Webfoots should, elicit
for an upset.
* * *
When Crowley was a “Four
Horseman” at Notre Dame they
called his seven mates in the line
the “Seven Mules.” Fordham goes
them one better and calls their
line “The Seven Rocks of Gran
ite.”
This battering line has allowed
only one touchdown in two years
to pass over or through it. Last
year “The Seven Rocks of Gran
ite" were unscored upon, while the
Fordham team itself was nicked
for only 16 points. Purdue drove
for one touchdown tying Fordham,
6 to 6, last week—the only time in
three 1938 games the Ram goal
line has been penetrated.
Further reason for heavy betting
on Fordham is the consistent rec
ord of Coach Jim Crowley himself.
In five seasons at Fordham up to
this fall his teams have won 29,
lost 7, and tied 5. Add to that
two wins and a tie for this season.
What! No Smiths?
They’re just a bunch of fur
riners” these Bams of Fordham,
even though the only direction
they know is “ahead.”
Bight Guard for Fordham is
“jess plain Jimmy Hayes.” The
rest of the Bam lineup reads like
this: Jacunskt, Kuzman, Kochel,
DeFillppo, Biddick, Dennery, Kry
wicki, Kaxlo, Holovak, and Prin
eipe.
For screwy pronunciations the
name of Bight Half Stanley Lcw
cayk is a winner. Call him (Lcff
check). Bemember Alexander Wo
jciechowlxcss, last year’s all-Amer
ican center. They call him ((Woe
gee-hoe-wit/.). As for Yudikaitis,
we’ll let Crowley figure that out.
iWhy have the frosh played only
one home game in two years?
“What do all students need to
go to school on?” roars Frosh
Coach Honest John Warren.
Dough!
“All right," fires back Honest
John, "that's settled."
Skipper Warren says his Duck
lings played Washington high of
Portland on Hayward field for a
net of $7f>. Compare that with
foui’ or five hundred dollars the
frosh are apt to pick for playing
the Oregon State rooks in Port
land and Klamath Falls and you
have a solution.

Baby Beavers Out
To Capture Initial
Win in Years
The Baby Beavers were hit by
injuries in the last encounter with
the frosh. Hugh McDonald, regu
lar starting center, was out most
of this week with injuries. Bud
English, guard, Don Durden, and
Bob McCallister, halfbacks, and
Bob Ranum and Jim Busch, have
all been on the sidelines at prac
tices earlier this week, but are
expected to be ready for the frosh,
Saturday.
McKalip, rook mentor, will prob
ably'have a somewhat different
team start the game Saturday than
the crew that started last week in
Portland.
The rook.s have been practicing
intensively this week on line plays,
probably due to the fact that the
frosh made a lot of yardage on
rushing plays in the first game of
the series.
Gene Gray Blocks
Gene Gray will be a probable
starter at blocking back. Gray
played a few minutes in the last
game. He did quite a bit of the
pass flipping before he injured his
ankle and was taken out of the
game.
The Baby Beavers will be after
their first win in several years at
Klamath Falls.
The two teams will have one of
the best turfed fields on the coast
to play on in Klamath’s newly

Sigma Phi Epsilon, although both

to take Campbell co-op by a 1/

The first match was decided by
the flip of a coin. Both the Phi
Sigs and the SPEs had six points,
so Lady Luck was the deciding
factor.

Silverwood.

winning au six. rte was me mam
reason for the Pi Kappas taking
the championship.
Stretching 6 feet 2 inches tall,
weighing 155 pounds, and 27 years
old, he makes an imposing sight
on tlie tennis court. He has played
against most of the top notch
players in the country. Bobby
Riggs, Wayne Sabin, E 1 w o o d
Cooke, and a host of California
stars, all have found him a tough
opponent.
Kermit originally came from
Kansas, where he field the state
doubles title jointly with a local
product. Then he went to Cali
fornia, where he resumed court
play. In the National Public Parks
tournament lie went to the quar
ter-finals before being eliminated.
Speaking of Oregon's pride and
joys, Elwood Cooke and Wayne
Sabin, he said, "Cooke and Sabin
have an excellent chance of being
the Davis Gup tandem combina
tion next year, since the Don
Budge-Gene Make partnership has
disbanded. However, the Oregon
ians will have plenty of competi
tion from the raequctfcers in sou
thern California."
As for the weather, he likes it
much better than that of "sunny"
California. He claims the weather
is unpredietabe down south.
Coupled with his good looks,
Kermit has a Packard coupe.
However girls do not interest him.
No. he's not a woman hater.
He's a married man!

BERNIE McCUDDEN
iBernie McCudden, 190-pound
tackle from Oregon City is a fa
vored started at the heavier spot
in the line in the coming frosh
rook game at Klamath Falls.
The 19-year-old Sigma Alpha
Epsilon pledge was captain of the
Pioneer team last year which cap
tured the mythical state cham
pionship after edging out the Lava
Bears from Bend, 14-13.
He was named on the “Big 9”
all-star team for three years.
McCudden claimed that his
greatest thrill in prep school foot
ball came when he blocked a punt
and ran 25 yards for a touchdown
against Milwaukie. Incidentafly,
the Oregon City team triumphed
in the tilt.
The youthful SAE developed in
to an excellent heavyweight wrest
ler during his service in the Ore
gon City team. He also tossed the
discus on the track team. He often
whirled the plate through the at
mosphere for more than 120 feet.
The Duckling recruit declared
that he liked the campus very
well and thought a great deal' of
his teammates.
McCudden picks the Webfoots to
defeat Fordham’s Rams and for
the frosh to triumph over the
rooks by a two-goal margin.

The ANCHORAGE Ca,e
Fordham Eleven Favored
As Game Time Nears;
Ducks See 'Big Town’
Tabbed by New York sports writers as the outstanding gridiron
contest of the coming weekend, the Oregon-Fordham clash at the
Polo Grounds Saturday continued as the favored subject for specula
tion among eastern football followers yesterday as game time drew
near.
Writers in the “Big Town” are booming the game as a test of the
merits of an eastern power against
a strong Pacific coast team.
Oregon’s victories over Wash
ington State and UCLA have been
factors in the Webfoots rise to
favor in the city of tall skyscrap
ers. But for all that, dyed-in-the
wool sport fans still remember the
last trip of an Oregon eleven to
New York.
That year was 1931, and the
Ducks, led by Iron Mike Mikulak,
now Oregon backfield coach,
turned on the New York Univer
sity Violets, coached by Chick
Meehan, and beat them, 14-7.
Both Have Trouble
Both Oregon and Fordham suf
fered disappointments last week
end, Oregon losing to Stanford 27
to 16, and the Rams managing to
gain only a 6-6 tie with Purdue’s
Boilermakers. Fordham's tie with
Purdue was considered, in some
quarters, as tan indication that
Coach Jimmy Cowley has a com
ing ball club out on Rose Hill.
Fordham, although failing to
outscore Purdue, clearly had a de
cided playing edge, just as did Ore
gon over Stanford.
The Rams, without the aid of a
passing attack, piled up 328 yards
of net gains by rushing plays to
Purdue’s 109, made 16 first downs
to the Boilermaker’s 11, and yet
gained only a tie. Oregon, in turn,
outgained Stanford's Indians by
rushing, 238 yards to 75, yet lost
because of a lack of pass defense.
Ducks Are Busy
Coach Tex Oliver and his boys
were busy all of their second day
(Thursday) in New York. Oliver
worked his men hard of Fordham
formations yesterday, and then
took them out for a luncehon at
Jack Dempsey's restaurant and a
visit to the Empire State building.
The Webfoots are expected to
limber up today at the exclusive
Westchester Country club where
they are staying, and then will
rest until game time tomorrow.

of action, and reports of the prow

ual duel between the Oregon flash
and Len Eshmont, a Fordham
sophomore.
Graybeal wasn’t the only Web
foot to receive attention in New
York, however. Scouts who saw
the Oregon eleven on the West
Coast and who have brought to
Fordham scouting data, have
warned New Yorkers of two loco
motive-style fullbacks in Frank
Emmons and Marshall Stenstrom;
ambling halfbacks in Jimmy Nich

sturdy linemen in John Yerby, Jim
Cadenasso, Bill Foskett, and Nello
