I-.——-—
In a pensive moment following
that UCLA affair, I came to the
conclusion that perhaps Glenn S.
(Pop) Warner was right when he
advocated a football scoring
change which would give a point
for each first down chalked up.
Ordinarily I would toss such a
suggestion out the window and
chuckle heartily. But the more 1
thought of those 17 Oregon first
downs, the more I became con
vinced that Pop "struck oil" with
that one.
Of course, I'll admit the blackout
of Webfoot title honors prejudiced
me, but after all, one has a right
to be a bit prejudiced when a team
shows superiority in every depart
ment and still loses.
Nevertheless, if the rules com
mittee had listened to Pop and
adopted his idea, Oregon would
still be on top of the coast confer
ence heap. Very much so.
Oregon 23, UCLA 20
All you have to do to sit in with
me on this argument is to add 17
and 6, which totals 23 in plain fi
gures. Post that on the Oregon
ledger, and then turn a page to
the UCLA sheet. Here add 16 and
4 (first downs), and you get 20.
Simple it is, yet it gives Oregon
a 23-to-20 victory over the
Uclans. So you see, those Web
foots weren’t beaten in Los An
geles. They were just playing down
the wrong fairway, so to speak.
Don’t tell all this to a UCLA
fan, however, or you may get it
shoved back at you so fast you’ll
think you are facing Monte Pear
son at 10 paces.
The Bruins, you see, have a dif
ferent theory, and until it is dis
proves it remains the best. They
apply the clincher with a citation
of another great American foot
ball man, Fielding H. Yost, who
once said, "You take the first
downs, I'll take the touchdowns.”
Orchids for Ernie
Today, the Webfoot grid faith
ful will tell you, Oregon is a team
"that might have been.”
They agree that if the breaks
had favored the Ducks on any One
of those five marches into Bruin
territory, Coach Oliver’s club
might have been unstoppable.
But those breaks certainly raised
cain with Webfoot scoring thrusts.
A fumble on the six-inch line
ruined one touchdown plunge, and
twice the battling Ducks lost the
ball inside the UCLA two-yard
mark.
As Ernie Robertson, scrappy
captain of the Webfoots put it,
"We kept battling, hoping and
feeling that the breaks couldn’t all
go against us . . . that sooner or
later we would get a break and
score, but we never did.”
And by the way, the Webfootcrs
go the limit in praising the play of
Robertson. Bob Smith hits the nail
on the head with, "If you are look
ing for someone to write about,
say something about this guy Er
nie. He played his heart out for
us.”
He s All-Coast
The plaudits, too, should go to
Lefty Bob Smith, who, in the opin
ion of his teammates, played prob
ably the greatest game of his car
eer. Smith carried the ball 17
times and averaged nearly five
yards.
What's more, Frankie Emmons,
Oregon's powerhouse full b a e k .
says Smith "just bowled them
over.” “Huh, what about Som
mers?” says Frankie. "Every time
I saw him, Smith was going
through him or over him.”
Only black mark of a great af
ternoon for Smith was his fumble
on the one - foot line, and that
might have been excusable.
Incidentally, in my opinion, the
Emerald and its readers owe a
debt of gratitude for the swell pre
game story Smith sent up for Sat
urday's paper.
It’s not easy to write when
you’re keyed up for a big game,
but Smith did, and his story was
a honey.

the two-foot line, on a first down,
but this time Bob Smith got across
the line apparently, only to have
the ball slip out from his hands. A
Bruin recovered on the two, and
the best chance to score was over.
Berry Boses Ball
Still another time John Berry
was down on the Bruin 15, in the
clear, when someone caught him
so hard, he dropped the ball, and
lost possession. And that isn't all
either, for twice Vic Reginato was
behind the fleet Robinson, but he
dropped the ball with the only
thing between him and the goal a
lot of vacant space.
Although Jackie Robinson scored
the points and was the spectacular
player on the field, it was Oregon’s
Buck Berry who got the biggest
ovation from the stands. Not only
because he was a local boy, for
sometimes the home fans resent
this fact, but because he was the
outstanding defensive man in eith
er backfield, and one of the best
men with the ball.
Every man in the Oregon line
did his part to crack the UCLA
forward wall wide open. Big Jim
Stuart and Jim Cadenasso were
the names most frequently men
tioned by the announcer. Captain
Jack Sommers was a standout at
the line-backing post for the Bru
ins, and the other guard, John
Frawley, stood out in defense.
Webfoots Mad
The attitude of the Oregon team
back in their home grounds was
that they had played their hearts
out and had still lost, making them
mad as wet hens. This Saturday
there is a game with the Washing
ton State Cougars on Hayward
field. The Olivermen want to get
back in the winning column badly,
and they feel they will.
Second stringers scrimmaged
the freshmen in a practice session
yesterday, with both teams look
ing good on defense. Don Mabee
made several nice gains through
the line for the varsity. The regu
lars went through signal drill in
their sweat suits.

In the most thrilling match so

nosed out the Yeomen, 1 to 0, in
an overtime affair yesterday in the j

A furious pace was kept up
throughout the entire contest by
both teams, but neither was able |

pool. Evidence of the fury of the
contest was the deep gash opened
above the eye of Kemp, Yeoman
guard, during one of the melees
for the ball, ft was necessary to
have three stitches taken in the
cut.
SAEs Go Oil Defense
Advancing with the Sigma Chis
into the third round were the Sig
ma Alpha Epsilons, last year’s
champs, and the Kappa Sigs. The
other match of tHe day was a first
rounder in which the Delta Tau
Delta team overwhelmed Canard
club by an 8-to-0 count.
SAE’s win was over the Phi Psis
by a 4-to-0 score. Superior team
work was responsible for the SAEs
convincing win. Both Lafferty and
Marnie showed, deadly accuracy
with their side-arm shots for the
winners. The Kappa Sigs built up
a 4-to-0 first half lead but spent
the entire last period staving off a
determined Theta Chi rally. The
final score still showed the Kappa
Sigs on the long end of a -l-to-2
count.

Phi Delta Theta chalked up its
second win of the season in touch
football with a 6-to-0 shutout over
Zcta hall yesterday.
In other contests, Sigma Alpha
Mu walked over the Scotch Ter
riers to finish with 14 points to the
independents’ zero; the Fiji nine
trimmed Alpha hall, 6-0; and
Campbell co-op wound up in a
scoreless tie with Omega hall.
Ray Dickson took a pass on the
ten-yard line from J. Blanchard to
score the Phi Delts’ six points, late
in the first half. The hall boys
threatened twice in the last half.
Harry Burdick intercepted a Zeta
pass on his own 30 and returned it
to the 50 to halt the first Zeta
rush. In the last two minutes of
the game, the Zetas lost the ball on
downs on the Phi Delt 15.
Sammies Are Impressive
The Stoch Terriers fought a los
ing battle with a seven-man lineup
against an impressive Sammy nine.
After four minutes of play, the
Sammies were on the independent
4-yard line. Davis passed to Send
ers for a touchdown and rifled to
Vic Nudelman for the conversion.
Two plays after the following kick
off, the Sammies had thrown the
Terriers for losses to put the ball
on the Scotchmen’s 30, from where
the independents punted to the
midfield stripe.

By BOB POT WIN
At the end of the fifth week of conference play, Oregon State is
still leading the pack, with the mighty Trojans of Southern California
hot on the Beaver's heels.
Following Saturday's victory over Washington State, Oregon State
travels to Portland to battle the men of Troy next weekend. The
Orange team is one of the best defensive elevens on the coast this year,
and the game with the high-scor
ing southern aggregation should
provide plenty of fireworks for the
customers.
The winner will be in line for
a Bose Bowl bid later in the year.
Southern California last met the
Beavers in Portland in 1933, when
the famous “Iron Men’’ came
through with a 0-to-0 upset.
Ducks Fall
Oregon performed like cham
pions between the ten-yard lines,
but lost their punch in the shadow
of the goal line and bowed out of
the undefeated class to UCLA. The
Bruins, sparked by their Negro
stars, Kenny Washington and
Jackie Robinson, won the game by
virtue of a 66-yard pass and an
82-yard run.
Two drives were stopped on the
one-yard line when Oregon backs
fumbled. The second fumble paved
the way for Robinson's long run. ..
Trojans Pour It On
Southern California’s Trojans,
last year's Rose Bowl winners,
gave notice that they will not give
up without a fight, when they wal
loped a fair California team, 26
to 0.
The Washington Huskies, beaten
in three starts this season, finally
turned on their haunches and
nipped Stanford by the unusual
score of 8 to D. Washington scored
a safety and a touchdown while
Stanford tallied a safety and field
goal.

Injuries Hit
Frosh Again
Gridders Suffer
Lime Burns in
Babe Contest
For plain, out and out hard luck
those Oregon frosh just can't be
beaten—they seem to make a habit
of “taking it on the chin.”
Here is their record up to the
Babes' game last Friday night:
First of all Chuck Elliott, ace tac
kle prospect, was lost for the sea
son following an emergency appen
dectomy: next, the Ducklings, in
their college opener, took a 19-to-0
skunking from Oregon State’s
rooks.
Thirdly, there followed for two
weeks a series of injuries that at
one time or another had more than
half of the first string eleven out
of practice; and finally, Friday
night's result, a second 19-to-0
drubbing, this time from the Uni
versity of Washington Babes.
Wrong Lime Used
That, alone, sounds bad enough.
But now, up strikes the climax to
this toughest of tough luck stories.
Through someone’s error, plain
lime, instead of the dehydrated
kind, was spread on Hayward field
for last week’s game.
It happens that this kind of plain
lime has strong burning qualities
when moistened. The result is that
now six first string Ducklings are
on the injured list from burns re
ceived against the Babes.
Ashcom Badly Hurt
Most seriously hurt was Dick
Ashcom, right tackle. He will quite
likely be out of competition for
the remainder of this season. Other
casualties include Ralph Davis,
right end; Louis Butkovich, left
end; John Bjork, left tackle; John
Stromberg, right guard; and Steve
Bodner, left guard. It is doubtful
if any of these will be ready for
practice for the next few days.
