Oliver Drills Squad
On Defense Plays
Donovan Expected to Be Ready
For Starting Gun; Rest of Boys in Good
Shape; Jones May Start Veteran Team
By ItAV SCHIUCK
University or Oregon nome town noys win mnnmij open men
football season tomorrow afternoon when they take Memorial Coli
seum field against an all-veteran Southern California aggregation.
This year’s Webfoot squad faces one of the strongest Trojan teams
ever turned out by Howard .Jones. It is generally conceded as the outfit
most likely to play in the 1940 Rose Bowl game.
Tex Oliver has been drilling the Oregon squad for the past several
W \JIL ^ ....
fornia plays. The team has come
through in near-perfect physical
condition. Most serious casualty
was Dennis Donovan, quarterback,
who wrenched his leg in the last
northern practice. It is expected
that he will be in condition by
game time, however.
Likely Lineup
Probable starters for the Web
foots include Bob Blenkinsop, left
end; Jim Stuart, left tackle; Ernie
Robertson, left guard; AI Samuel
son, center; Cece Walden, right
guard; Merle Peters, right tackle;
Vic Reginato, right end; Donnie
Donovan, quarterback; Jay Gray
beal, left halfback; Buck Berry,
right halfback, and Frank Em
mons, fullback.
The Oregon eleven will be out
weighed over seven pounds to the
man. Lightest player on the South
ern California first string is Am
brose Schindler, 'driving quarter
back, who weighs 192.
Five Seniors
Five Troy starters will be play
ing their third year for Coach
Jones. Bill Fisk at left end, John
Thomassin at left tackle, Phil Gas
par at light tackle, Bob Hoffman
at left halfback, and Jim Slatter at
right halfback have played two
previous seasons. Remainder of the
team, Harry Smith, All-American
left guard; Ed Dempsey, center;
Ben Sohn, right guard; John Stone
braker, right end; Ambrose Schind
ler, quarterback, and Bob Peoples,
fullback, are one-year lettermen.
Results of past U. of O.-USC
games show the Webfoots have
won only once, that in 1915, by a
34-0 score. Since then the Tro
jans have come out victorious
eight times. Their latest triumph
was by the score of 31 to 7 in 1938.
Saturday’s game time has been
set for 2:00 o’clock.
Seven Dollar
(Continued jrom paye one)
expected to attract crowds from
all over the state. This and the
American Ballet Caravan hold up
the educational, more serious end
of the card, of the type which the
board has always felt should be
part of anyone’s college education.
The drive staff feels justified in
"Be Wise Oregonize.”

Week-End Clashes
Open Conference
Football Race
All Pacific Coast conference
teams with the exception of
Washington State make their
1939 football debut this week
end.
Heading the list of games
are two conference clashes, one
between the Oregon Webfoots
and the vaunted Trojans of
Southern California, and the
other between the two dark
horses of the league Oregon
State and Stanford.
The UCLA Bruins open their
grid campaign with a night
game this evening against the
Horned Frogs of Texas Chris
tian university. The Uclans will
be underdogs in this clash with
the strong Texas eleven Wash
ington is also starting off with
an intersectional clash, tangling
with Pittsburg at Seattle. The
Panthers, once a great grid
power, are not rated so high
this year.
California takes on a double
header, playing both California
A and M and College of Pa
cific Washington State, which
made its debut last week-end
with an impressive 19 to 6 vic
tory over the Gonzaga Bulldogs,
will be idle this Saturday ,
Guard Quota
Felt By ROTC
The recent raising of quotas in
national guard companies, already
making itself felt in the three Eu
gene units, stands likely to affect
several ROTC members at the Uni
versity, according to reports yes
terday from local national guard
headquarters.
Eugene guard companies are go
ing out directly after ROTC men,
hoping to interest them in the
work, “for the mutual benefit of
all concerned.” in all, there is
room for 46 men.
Guard work would prove a valu
able aid to ROTC men, the guards
men feel. Already several noncom
missioner guard officers are en
rolled in advanced ROTC courses.
Some of these ROTC-guard “non
coms" are very likely to be pro
moted as a result of the quota in
creases and the national guard’s
new policy of ousting all married
sergeants and corporals.
Of the three companies in Eu
gene, C company, 162nd infantry,
has the largest quota, with 20 new
men needed. This is a rifle unit.
Next largest is M company, a ma
chine gun outfit, which will take
20. The medical detachment will
take 8 men.
The deadline for these new en
listments is Saturday night at
midnight, so would-be guardsmen
should take advantage of the va
cancies as soon as possible, Cap
tain Mahany, commander of C
company, said yesterday.
Dickie Takes Over
Intramural Sports
Roland Dickie, for two years
graduate assistant at the Univer
sity, will tins term step into the
shoes of Paul R. Washke as di
rector of intramural sports, it was
announced recently.
The advancement places Dickie
in charge of all-eampuS as well
as the intramural brunch of com
petition for Oregon students. Hi'
lias been working with Mr. Washke
since coming here in 1987 as a
graduate of the University of
Washington.
I
Will He Start Saturday?
Dennis Donovan . . . whose strained leg is causing Webfoot coaches
some worry. He may lie able to start against Southern California.

ROTC Corps Will
Draw Uniforms
Today at Barracks
The complete stock of uniforms
in the local ROTC storeroom has
been cleaned and renovated and is
now ready for issue. At eight o'
clock this morning the storeroom
will be open, ready to issue com
plete uniforms to students. How
| ever, students must have their
registration receipts in order to
secure their outfits.
Colonel Lyon, head of the local
' unit, has made an exhaustive study
i on the shoe problem for military
students, in which he has obtained
information about what is done in
other schools on this problem. As a
result, he has made arrangements
with Hart Larsen's Campus Store
to stock a good, serviceable, nice
appearing shoe adopted for wear
with the uniform. The shoe is to
sell at $3.79 a pair. It is suggested
(hat students supply themselves
with these shoes early. However, if
a student so desires, he may wear
any tan shoe. Arrangements have
been made for students to pur
chase at the University Co-op a
good grade of shoe cream in the
prescribed color.
Board Adopts
(Continued from pa<je one)
a safe place to keep these receipts,
the co-op will distribute manila
envelopes at registration today
and Saturday that will fit any size
notebook.
Price Kaises Banned
Prices at the co-op will not be
raised by the adoption of this plan,
announced Chuck Skinner, presi
dent of the co-op board, yesterday.
"We are receiving scores of let
ters from wholesalers advising us
of the rise in prices of all school
supplies,” Skinner reported.
Paper has gone up in particular
because of the unsettled conditions
in Europe.
"The University of Oregon co-op
has a large stock of supplies on
hand and more ordered so that stu
dents need not fear an increase in
retail prices at their store,” Skin
ner continued.
The co-op contains many new
features both in service and stock, j
All-Campus Sports
Will Start Soon,
Dickie Promises
All-campus competition will start
in approximately two weeks, Ro
land Dickie, who is in charge of
the tourney, announced today.
Any student registered at the
University of Oregon is eligible to
participate in these sport events.
All-campus, it might be said by
way of explanation, is similar to
intramural sports. The main dif
ference is that it involves individ
ual competition while intramural
games are for team action. The
fields of competition will be an
nounced within the next two
weeks.
Chief among the latter are the en
tirely new photography depart
ment which carries a complete line
of photographers’ supplies, the
shoe department which has a large
stock of both men's and women's
athletic shoes, the modern and up
to-date pen and pe:|cil counter,
and the rental library containing
all the high quality new books
which can be rented for seven-day
periods by the payment of a one
dollar fee per term.
Intramurals
Will Open
Wednesday
Fall Program Will
Begin With Tennis,
Swimming Meets
Swimming and tennis competi
tion Wednesday, October 4, will
set in motion Oregon’s 1939-40 pro- >
gram of intramural sports, ac
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by Roland Dickie, di
rector.
This year's program, according
to the intramural bulletin, has been
changed considerably from that of
a year ago. A new sport, touch
football, has been added to the fall
term curricula. Swimming, water
polo, and wrestling have also been
moved ahead from winter and
spring terms in a revision that
sees volleyball and golf changed
to early-year sports.
Competition in these classifica
tions is open to all fraternities, co
ops, and other organizations around
the campus. Last year 27 such
groups entered.
“We would like an even more
widespread student interest than
in the past,” emphasized Roland
Dickie, "and hope that there will
be further organization in the
boarding houses so they, too, may
enter in the games.”
As reward for winning teams
thirteen cups, purchased last fall'
by the interfraternity council, will
be presented. These awards rotate
every year. At present Beta Theta
Pi holds 6 of the 13. They were
champions in softball, handball,
vollyball “B,” Sigma Delta Psi,
and golf. They also won the sweep
stakes cup
All teams competing the first
day will be notified by telephone.
Water polo is set to follow imme
diately after the swimming sched
ule is completed. Touch football
will start in two or three weeks
and wrestling bouts will be staged
the last three weeks of the term.
Hired officials will referee all
games.
