A little pre-game philosophy ex
pounded by Buck Berry, the 178
pound stocky varsity halfback from
California, explains better than
anything why he. and his Oregon
grid mates were able to shoot
themselves into the nalion’s foot
ball spotlight Saturday by tying
Southern California’s mighty Tro
jans by a 7 to 7 count in their own
back yard.
“What the. h’ll have they got we
haven’t got” is the way Tex Oli
ver says his starting right half
voiced it.
In the Oregon camp the players
were so sure they could pull what
Los Angeles writers call a shock
ing upset, they actually felt bad
about being tied.
Here’s what Oliver says about
his boy Berry: “He is the first boy
out of junior college ranks I’ve
ever had who was ready to step
right into the first string.”
* * *
The Smiling Texan praises Tac
kle Jim Stuart and Guard Ernie
Robertson for turning in a pair of
stellar 50-minute games in the Los
Angeles heat against the frequent
fresh men they faced. Tackle Merle
Peters was another singled out.
Tex was demonstrating at the Ig
loo yesterday how Trojans picked
themselves off the turf and count
ed their bones after “Bruiser” Ber
ry hit ’em.
All in all it was a good day for
Willy Webfoot. Oliver is looking
forward to winning “a few more
games” because of the squad’s “de
termination, courage, and high
learn morale.” Ask Southern Cali
fornia’s Howard Jones about that?
It’s really a long story. It dates
back to the beginning of spring
practice when Tex Oliver told the
team and everybody else they
would beat Southern California
next fall. So for several long
months they drilled thinking they
could whip the 1939 Rose Bowl
champs.
The team never read Southern
Writer Will Connolly’s “pardon
the yawn” column which very
cockily painted a sour picture of
the sandlot or backyard or revcrse
English type of football played in
the north (excepting Washington).
Coach Tex to the contrary didn't
want his boys to even look at such
printed tripe, so they were instruct
ed to not read any sports pages
after they left Eugene.
One thing he did consider laugh
able enough to show the Ducks
was a pre-season conference form
chart deftly figured out by such
California football experts as
Mark Kelley, May Stiles, and Zid
Ziff. They rated all conference
clubs in various things such as
alertness, deceptive, line, reserves,
pass defense, strategy (coaching),
etc.
Here’s something that will tickle
you, their rating on lines. South
ern California 100 per cent, Oregon
50 per cent. On reserves the men
of Troy were again tops with 100
per cent and Oregon about ladtom
in the conference. In total percent
age the Trojans had 1800 and Ore
gon 080, which only shows again
that games are won on the field.
* * *
Take line play, for instance,
where USC rated twice as good as
Oregon. For a good share of that
game two of Tex's sophomores
held down the tough left end spot
which is the side of the opposing
forward wall where Howard Jones
has for years and still does un
leash his vaunted offensive at
tack.

Coach Howard Hobson is asking

candidates are asked to be prompt

Coach Hobson bills the meeting

would-be basketeers to be on hand.

the other guard spot was a man
who had trained from 240 pounds
down to a mere 22(5. That gave
Troy a 223-pound average at guard

heaviest Webfoot being only 20.r>.
For instance, one of the playing
Ducks was Bud Nestor at 188

John Berry Grabs Smith's Pass to Score
For Oregon; Oliver Line Holds USC's
Powerful Ground Attack
By GEORGE PASERO
Mark Saturday, September 30, down in your little book of red-letter
days that is if you are an Oregon sports enthusiast.
For that was the day a gallant. Webfoot football team—Tex Oliver
sparked -looked El Trojan right in the eye, whipped him for three
quarters, and finally wound up with a 7-7 tie.
The score in itself is amazing. Seven all is certainly a far cry from
me Ou-io-u, ana ua-to-u scores oi
Doc Spears’ regime. Or even from
the 26 to 14 of Prink Callison’s last
year at Oregon’s helm, and the 31
to 7 of last year, Oliver's first. Not
since a 34 to 0 drubbing in 1915
had Oregon whipped a Trojan
team.
Always a Hex
The mighty Trojan warhorse has
always been a pet hex of the Web
foots, the Oregonians wilting at
sight of the burly, and plentiful
gentlemen from Southern Cali
fornia’s largest and most de-cen
tralized metropolis.
But this year, the Oregons, urged
on by the crackling voice of Buck
Berry, a whale of a halfback from
the sunny land, got tough, yes
very tough, and blocked and
tackled mayhap even a little hard
er than the hordes of Troy.
Yes, these Webfoots may have
a long way to go to become a
champion, but they’ve already
made Oregon football history, and
what’s more, they've shown they
could get just as tough, and a lit
tle tougher than the other guys, be
they the best in the land or just a
good team:
Sehindler Stopped
Forty thousand fans gathered in
the huge Memorial Coliseum at
Los Angeles to watch an expected
Southern Cal victory. Pre-season
grid ballyhoo boomed Howard
Jones' veteran crew-19 lettermen
—as the nation's top football ma
chine. Coast champs in ’38, also
Rose Bowl victors, certainly they
deserved it, for back to help the
veterans was Ambling Amby
Schindler, the Trojan star of the
’37 season.
In spite of ail that, Oregon’s line
and secondary tossed the Trojan
running attack back on its heels
from the first, and with only sec
onds to go before halftime, the
Webfoots crossed the California
goal line, and lo, Oregon was ahead
by seven big points,
rabbit) Graybeal started the big
l^ijarararaiSMISMSMEEJElSiSIBlSMSISISlSIfilS
push, and Bob Smith, his succes
sor, made it good when he flipped
i pass, 14 yards, to .John Berry,
waiting on the goal line.
A scoreless third quarter fol
lowed, and then in the eventful
fourth period, a blocked Oregon
punt gave Southern Cal’s vaunted
lir attack a chance to click.
Into the ball game came Doyle
Nave, the pass-throwing hero of
rroy's famous Rose Bowl stand,
md he pitched the Troans to a
touchdown. From the Oregon 44,
where Troy recovered Berry’s
blocked kick, Nave began firing
passes. With the ball on the 11,
le pitched a perfect strike to Okla
homa Bob Peoples who jerked and
wiggled to a score.
Sparkling Oregon discovery was
John Berry, husky left half, who
was rated the best back on the
field by Cal scribes.
Only serious casualty in the
Oregon camp was Bob Blenkinsop,
who received a fractured arm. End
Blenkinsop will be lost to the squad
for the rest of the season.
