Some benevolent individual
around this school ought to dig
deeply into his jeans and donate
funds for a plaque or trophy in hon
or of what a couple of friendly,
hard-working guys named Jack
rabbit Jay Graybeal and Lefty
Bob Smith did for University of
Oregon in four years of football
here.
Their four-year joint careers are
at an end now, and the returns are
in . . . the score is Oregon 367
points and Jay and Bob, 186.
That's just what the “touchdown
twins’’ did in three years of var
sity ball and one great frosh sea
son—they either directly scored or
passed for over half Oregon’s
points.
Until last Thursday’s Thanks
giving day game in Seattle against
Washington, tl^e twins hadn’t quite
matched the point total of all the
rest of their mates combined, but
the game ended Washington 20,:
Graybeal 13 so Jay and Bob final
ly balanced the books.
Another From Bob to Jay
It was a great parting gesture
they made in Seattle too, Bob toss- j
ing one of those long high touch
down passes to Jay Graybeal who
stole it out of the arms of two
Huskies for a touchdown. Just a
carbon copy of touchdown passes
from Bob to Jay you watched in
1936, 1937, 1938, and again this
season.
The Webfoots played like daffy
sophs at times in their loss to the
Huskies. They passed once with i
fourth down and plenty to go on'
the Washington 38 when football
judgment called for a punt. The
pass was no good but they got a
completion on interference for a
first down. And then, doggoned if
the Ducks didn’t score a touch
down just to prove that it pays to
play crazy football.
Jay and Bob and the rest of
Tex Oliver's thirteen seniors—Jim
Cadenasso, Ernie Robertson, Cece
Walden, Bud Nestor, Merle Peters,
Roy Jensen, Vic Reginato, Dennis
Donovan, Steve Anderson, Willie
Reynolds, and Frank Emmons—
didn’t get the cheer they deserved
in Seattle after leaving the field
for the last time. Jay made tire
long walk from the bench, around
the end of the field, and into the
tunnel of the big concrete Wash
ington stadium alone with a man
ager during the fourth quarter,
and the crowd gave him a big
hand. But it wasn’t the final trib
ute he’d have heard from Oregon
fans . . . the same for the other
seniors.
Some Topsy-Turvy Football
The Webfoots sort of folded up
late in the season after they tied
Southern California’s Rose Bowl
Trojans, and whipped California
and Stanford to lead the coast con
ference, bat they never quit or
gave up on the field of battle.
Oregon promised the coast some >
topsy-turvy football before the
season started and didn't cheat a
soul on that.
Honors for the season's foxiest
job of slickering the officials
ought to go to Tex Oliver and one
of his reserves for a stunt they
pulled just seconds before the first
half of the Washington game end
ed.
Tex wanted the clock stopped so
the Webfoots could have another
play, and he didn’t want to draw a
penalty for too many times out in
one half, so he fooled 'em and had
the referee call the time out.
The Oregon reserve dashed on
the field after a lengthy conference ;
with Tex and after just one play
put on the greatest act of a bad
leg injury you ever saw. The ref
eree called time out, stopping the
clock for Oregon.
Tex's clever sub, in the best of
health, re-entered the game later.
Jimmie Phelan's New Play?
Coach Jimmie I’helan of Wash
ington is regarded by football
scouts as one of the conference's
easiest to scout because he’s sup
posed to use the same plays sea
son after season with little alter
ing . . . that's what a coach told
us.
One of the plays his Huskies
used in scoring cn Oregon was a
corker one of Washington's closest
followers swore he had never seen
before. On a fake reverse, the in
terference and ball packer started
on a dash around their own left
cod. But instead of reversirg the
ball, the Husky just back of cen
ter faked it and started on a quick
dash off his own right tackle with
only one man ahead tor interfer
ence. The Oregon end, intent on
following the play around the oth
er side, dashed in and right by the
ball packer. He dashed untouched
about tea jaxds to a touchdown.

Finish Careers
At Seattle
By BAY FOSTER
Football as it is played under
the spectacular Tex Oliver system
took its bow for the 1939 season in
Seattle last Thanksgiving day, the
20 to 13 loss throwing the Ducks
into a tie for fourth place in the
Coast conference with the Huskies.
It was the most successful con
ference windup in five years for
Oregon and two of the three wins
and the tie were scored against
California teams, for the initial
time since the start of the coast
league.
With the farewell to football
goes also 13 seniors who played
their last game as collegians. One
ended his career in a blaze of glory
for his alma mater. It was Jack
rabbit Jay Graybeal, the Pendleton
whirlwind.
Jay Tries Hard
Jay played his heart out for his
team, and when he slowly walked
around the track to the dressing
room late in the fourth quarter of
the Washington game, the entire
stands felt that they were seeing
the end of a great grid career. All
Jay did was score all 13 of his
team’s points, and tackle a Husky
so hard that he knocked himself
out cold.
Another of the graduates is one
Bob Smith, who was the other end j
of the famous Smith to Graybeal
combination. The rest of the senior
backfield to go is Denny Donovan
and Frank Emmons. These two
will be sorely missed when next
fall comes around. Steve Anderson,
a flashy half, is also through.
Linemen Star
In the line, Vic Reginato, stellar
end for three years, Jim Cadenasso,
center; Ernie Robertson, guard;,
Cece Walden, guard; Merle Peters,
tackle; Ellroy Jenson, tackle; Bob
Blenkinsop, end; Bud Nestor,
guard; and Melvin Passolt, guard;
wind up their career.
Of the returning members of the
1939 team, Johnny Berry, Lcn Is
berg, Marsh Stenstrora, Bill
Hawke, Chet Haliski, stand out in
the backfield. Aided by Frank
Boyd, Duke Iverson, Jim Shepard,
and a few others, the prospects are
good for 1940.
In the forward wall, Hymie Har
ris and Bill Regner return at left
end. All-coast Jim Stuart is back
at left tackle. Red Davis is back at
guard. Bob Hendershott comes
back at tackle, and Dick Horne and
Jim Harris are returning at end.
The season just closed saw foot
ball in its most spectacular form
for the home fans. The grudge
battle against Oregon State proved
to be the climax of an exciting sea
son. Here points were rolled up as
fast as in a hot bowling game. No
less than 14 points in 54 seconds.
OSC won, yet Oregon fans were
satisfied.
Not since 1900 did an Oregon
team make as many points against
a conference opponent as they did
against Washington State, which
they won 38 to 0.
The early highlight was the 7 to
7 tie with the mighty Trojans down
in Los Angeles. Then two other
Cal teams felt the wings of the
Ducks spreading over them, and
California and Stanford went down
to defeat, by scores of 0 to 0, and
10 to 0.

Semi-Final Tilt in Touch Football Will
Go Into Overtime Period This Afternoon
To Settle It; Each to Get Five Plays
By BERNIE ENGEL
With the late fail darkness obscuring the final plays, Kappa Sigma
and Phi Delta Theta fought to a scoreless tie yesterday in a semi
final game of the touch football playoffs.
Because playoff games must necessarily be decisive, an overtime
period with each team alloted five plays will be run off today.
Their rooters’ lids pulled down over their frosted ears, Kappa Sigma
; passed to a first down two plays
after the kick-off. The Phi Delts
then organized, held off the enemy
threat, and forced the Kappa Sigs
to kick, the ball going over the
Phi Delt goal line, being brought
out to the 20.
Then They Moved
Paul “PJ" Jackson sparked the
Phi Delts as they marched to the
Kappa Sig 40. Scooting around his
own right end, Bob McAuliffe
intercepted a Phi Delt pass and re
turned it to their 33 to spike the
drive. Although gaining some yard
age, the Kappa Sigs lost the ball a
few plays later when Bob (not
Lefty Bob) Smith intercepted and
ran to his 20.
Protected by smart downfield
blocking, the speedy Phi Delt back
field carried the ball to the Kappa
Sig 35 where another long boot
shifted the action to the Phi Delt
15 as the half ended.
Kappa Sigma again started off
with a rush, intercepting on the
opposition 40 and advancing to the
20. Jackson caught a pass on his
own goal line and got away to his
15 before being stopped.
Phi Delts Threaten
The Phi Delts got down to the
Kappa Sig 18 near the end of the
game on a long kick, but the boys
held and the horn sounded after a
play or so.

Bobby Anet Leads
Team in Late Drive
To Win Thriller
By KEN CHRISTIANSON
It could have been a University
of Oregon-University of Washing
ton basketball game, because ex
Oregon and Washington stars
played and it was a typical close
fast game such as the two teams
play. But it was the Rubenstein
Oregons vs. the Seattle Savidges.
The Oregonians won, 40 to 36.
It was the first game of the
season for the Rubes. A 14-game
winning streak was broken for the
Savidges when the Rubensteins
played the second game of the
season to be staged on the Igloo
floor.
Last Vear’s Stars
Last year’s stars for both col
leges were in the starting lineups.
Bobbie Anet and Laddie Gale, all
Americans, Wally Johansen and
Dave Silver, all-coasters, and Ford
Danner, ex-freshman star, filled
the starting lineup against the
Seattle quintet.
Pat Dorsey, Roy Williamson,
and George Ziegenfuss were to
start in the Savidge lineup but
Ziegenfuss was injured in Port
land and turned back to Seattle.
Oregons Crippled
The Oregonians were badly
crippled— Gale’s sprained ankle
was taped up, Johansen was just
out of a sick bed, Danner had a
bad leg, and Silver turned his an
kle in the second half.
Both teams fought bitterly
throughout the game and the lead
see-sawed. Three minutes before
the end of the game, the game was
tied at 36 points each. Laddie Gale
dribbled in to score one basket and
Gordon Wright put the Rubes
ahead four points.
Bob Anet played a stellar game
for the winners and Endress and
Williamson were accurate under
the basket for the losers. Each
made 13 points. Gordon wright
was high man for the Rubes with
nine points. Silver and Gale were
runners-up for the winners with
eight points each.
The Savidges missed several

At halftime the score was 28 to

opponent for the Hobson hoop
players is Signal Oil of Portland
Thursday night in McArthur court.
Signal Oil is a perennial winner of

With only a few games remaining on schedule for Coast conference
teams, the mighty Trojans seem to have the inside track for the Rose
Bowl hid.
The Oregon State-UCLA tie, however, leaves the Beavers an out
side chance for the New Year’s game. The Staters remained in the run
ning with Southern California and
the UCLA Bruins as they held
j Kenny Washington and his mates
to 13-all.
! California made it four in a row
over a weak Stanford team, 32 to
14. The parade of five touchdowns
was the worst defeat for Stanford
this year, and they go east to meet
Dartmouth next Saturday with a
record of six losses and one tie in
conference play.
In a wild fourth quarter which
saw each team score twice, Sou
thern California turned on the
power and dumped Notre Dame 20
to 12.
Trojans Too Strong
For a time it looked as though
Notre Dame was on the march, but
the Trojans had too much weight
for their smaller opponents.
Sparked by their all-American
guard, Harry Smith, the USC line
opened large holes for the backs.
Lansdell was the great star in the
Southern California backfield.
Gonzaga defeated but did not
outfight a stubborn Portland Uni
versity eleven on a sloppy field at
Portland Sunday. The Bulldogs’
lone touchdown came as the result
of straight power plays through
the middle of the Pilots’ line. The
game was close throughout as the
7 to 0 score indicates, with the
Gonzaga eleven having a slight
edge.
The Santa Clara Broncos con
tinued their power plays to run up
a 41 to 0 score over a game but
outclassed Loyola eleven, and San
Jose walloped Fresno State 42 to 7
in the other games played outside
the conference over the weekend.
