Give me liberty Or give me death! Please give me my Drum majorette! Sports Scribes DUCK TRACKS j eniininiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!iiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii!iiiiii!iiiiiiNiiiiiiiiiii»iiiin< | By ELBERT HAWKINS For those who wonder . . . California’s Golden Bears were not 20 points better than Oregon in Saturday’s Berkeley contest. No sir. But more than one team this season has found out that the “you take the first downs, give me the touchdowns” maxim isn’t to he sneezed at. Tev Oliver and his proteges won recognition of Berkeleyans be cause they made a game of it. Watchers on “Poor man’s hill” overlooking the huge concrete bowl might have thought Oregon was winning had they not seen a little white stripe across the end of the field which Cal three times crossed. Through a greater part of the second half, Oregon’s scrappy football team dominated play. And this was when they trailed, 20 to 0. On two occasions they almost scored. # * n _ It wasn’t a California back who ■ stole the show for consistent play, even though “Vallejo” Vic Bot tari did perform in his usual all coach fashion. It was an Oregon Webfoot named Marsh “Stinky” Stenstrom, 200-pound sophomore fullback from Seattle. Marsh picked up 87 yards by sheer plowing against California, and topped all backs with an av erage of 5.8 for 15 tries. He made it the hard way too, consist ent yardage each time rather than all at once. Bottari netted only 11 yards for his seven times pack ing the leather. Here's the way Fullback SLen strom made his 87 yards: 2, 2, 11, 2, 12, 22, 3, 8, 2, 5, 2, 5, 5, 4, 4. * * Kinfolk, some of them . . . The Californiu-Orcgon mix was ulinost a family feud. For in stance, Ihere was Angelo Iteginato who played left end for the Bears, and Oregon’s Vic. Kcginatu. Ore gon’s Vic played right end, so the two Kcginatos played directly op posite and had a chance to talk ' things over. On the Webfoot roster is a left hander named Bob Smith who plays lots of bail. And California has a Foil Smith who also plays lots of ball. California’s Smith too-k a pass from Bottari and swivel-hipped his way 25 yards down the sidelines for one Cal touchdown shaking off practical ly the whole Oregon team. Saturday’s game was built up as a battle of “Vallejos" with “Val ejO” Ted Gebhardt and “Vallejo” Vic Bottari opposing. Not, many years ago Vic and Ted were pals and teammates at Vullejo, Califor nia.

It might have been the hard-blocking of the boys from the Berkeley foothills that downed the scrapping Webfoots. It might have been last week's defeat of Cal by USC that caused Stub Allison’s Golden Bears Riddlesbarger Wins Faculty Golf Play jg Collins Grabs Hold of Second; Taylor Takes Consolation W. P. Riddlesbarger, assistant professor of business administra tion, won the championship in the recently played faculty handicap golf tournament by defeating R. L. Collins, statistician and budget officer of the state system of higher education, 0 and 5, (six holes up and five to go). II. R. Taylor, head of the psy chology department, won from W. A. Dahlberg, assistant professor of speech, to capture first honors in the consolation division. Each entrant in the faculty tournament, which was played at the Laurelwood golf course, paid an entrance fee of 25 cents each. From this sum the awards of four balls went to the champion; two to the runner-mp, and two to the winner in the j consolation play. _i______, Susan Campbell Wins From AOPi Susan Campbell hall won its fourth consecutive volleyball game Monday night by defeating Alpha Omicron Pi, 27-25, in the last match of the semi-finasl. Finals will be played Thursday with Kappa Kappa Gamma, Hil yard cooperative, University coop erative, and Susan Campbell sched uled to play. In Monday’s game were Lucille Brauns, Pat Lawson, Kathleen Brady, Alvira Brookman, Dorothy Kries, Mary Montag, Beverle Shu mate, Ruthann Lukin, Jane Cater all, and Pauline Johnson. Susan Campbell hall: Verna Wilson, Ha zel Jeffryes, Donna Ketehum, Peg gy Yaden, Virginia Miller, and Ottilia llofstetter, AOPi. i to fire up. But sports scribes who saw the game will say it was the announcer who beat the Webfoots. Here’s the picture. Coach Tex Oliver’s gridders were driving deep into Cal territory, trying hard for a score. Then came word that Washington was leading Southern Cal by a 7-0 score. Stirs Stub's Bears Bike a hypodermic injection, this news fired up the Bears. Realizing that once again they had a chance for Rose Bowl honors, Stub Alli son's boys sparked in three quick thrusts. In a period of seven min utes, they had three touchdowns, and the margin of victory. As for Oregon, the Webfoots iuuiiu uiai aa loucnuowns, not yardage, that counts, outgaining the Golden Bears and reaching the six and four-yard lines on different occasions but failing to score. In the first period, with the crowd tense and waiting for word from the USC-Husky battleground, the Green and Lemon-clad Web foots from the north, gave the partisan fans a scare when they moved to the Cal six-yard line af ter Vic Reginato blocked George Cornell's kick on the Cal 14. Again in the final period, the Ducks had the Bear on his haunch es, but again the announcer came to Allison’s rescue with the word that Washington was on Cal’s one yard line and moving for a score. Neither Scores Washington never did get that score, but Oregon didn't get its tally either. California bolstered its defenses and held on the four yard line. Injuries to Oregon players were numerous with Larry Lance, Hank Nilsen, and Elroy Jensen being' forced out of the contest. Jensen twisted his knee going down after a punt, and may be out of the Washington game in Portland Sat urday. Nilsen re-injured a knee, and Larry Lance remained in the California i nf i r m ary Saturday night as the result of a blow on the head. Nilsen may also be out of the Washington game. Minor in juries also were plentiful with about a half dozen players affected. Phi Beena Krabba is the name of a Colby college honorary fratcr lity.

How Zuppke Did It Here’s one of Couch Boh Zuppke's famous Illinois grid plays, a cutback inside tackle from a single wing formation. Left guard gets (he defensive left half, No. 3 back blocks defensive left tackle, while No. 2 turns out the left end. If all of the boys get their men, Zuppke figures on a touchdown. But it’s harder to do on the field than it is to diagram.

The Jimmie Phelan clan, with only one victory to their credit at that time, piayea inspired rootDan to serve the Trojans their defeat. Once j again the bid for the Rose Bowl' classic becomes quite confusing to j the football fan. A three-way tie is a possibility, for the future outcome with five teams in the running. It might! come about in this way—USC los-' ing to UCLA; California losing to Stanford and either UCLA or Ore gon State winning its last two games. Huskies Boost Selves The Huskies boosted themselves into third place and dropped their worthy opponents into a tie with California. The Bears played host to the Oregon eleven, but unlike an Emily Post rule of etiquette, did not make their guests feel very much at home. California downed the Webfoots, 20 to 0. Thus the Bears hold one end of the two-way lead, while Tex Oliver’s outfit dropped to the second division. Stanford came, saw, but failed to conquer the Oregon State Beav ers at Corvallis. The Beavers were gunning for their first victory over the Indians in history and hit the target by winning 6 to 0. Washington State and UCLA played non-conference teams, with only the Cougars coming on top. They defeated the Idaho Vandals 12 to 0, but have yet to break into the winning column in the coast standings. The Uclans found diffi culty with the Wisconsin Badgers, finally going down to defeat 14 to 7. The scheduled games for Satur day show only two conference get togethers. Oregon vs. Washington at Portland, and Stanford vs. Cali fornia at Berkeley. Oregon State remains idle to rest for the Oregon game at the end of turkey week. The other teams on the unassigned list are UCLA, Southern Cal, and Washington State.

He came out of the hills of For est Grove last year to enroll on the Lemon and Green grounds in the winter term. Davis pledged the SAE house and was an all-round athlete dur ing his prep career at the Forest Grove high school. He played bas ketball and baseball, besides filling the fullback spot on the grid squad. In the hoop sport, Davis played guard and made the Washington county all-star team at that posi tion. He filled the catching job on the baseball team. The carrot-topped physical edu cation major from Forest Grove declared that his greatest thrill in high school ball came in a 19r6 victory over St. Helen’s eleven. Da vis starred at the fullback berth. His team in his last year at For est Grove high came through with second place in Washington coun ty The 205-pound guard likes the University campus.

RALLY COMMITTEE Hayward Sets Official Tryouts For UO Harriers First Six Runners to Cross Tape to Form Squad With positions on the varsity cross country team at stake, Ore gon varsity harriers will race over the local four-mile course Wednes day afternoon in the only official tryout scheduled by Coach Bill Hayward before the annual Pacific coast conference championships at Portland. The first six men to finish the long grind will be chosen as Ore gon’s entry in the coast race which wil be held Wednesday, November 23, over the Hill Military academy course on Rocky butte. According to Colonel Bill, the Webfoot distance men will tour the relatively flat mausoleum course Wednesday. They will start from Hayward field and run up University street and around the mausoleum flats. After circling the flats twice, the runners will head back to McArthur court via Uni versity street. Eight Men Travel Friday Hayward sent eight run ners to Portland to work out over the Hill course. Kirman Storli and Don Barker finished the hilly grind in 21 minutes and 00 seconds to lead the remaining Webfoots. Barker and Storli’s time was considered good for the four-mile run, but Coach Hayward feels that the two top men of his squad can better that time under competition. Jimmy Schriver, smooth-running half-miler, and Bob Mitchell, miler, also seem to have leased positions on the team. ' Four strong runners all nearly on a par, will battle for the two remaining places on the team. These are Galen Morey and Hugh Simpson, fast-coming sophomores, and Ken Leatherman and Don Tower, both varsity reserves.
