Oregon is well represented in the
national professional football
league this year and a glimpse of
the lineup of the Philadelphia Ea
gles would make it appear that
Oregon boys are well thought of
on that club.
No less than four former stars
who were standouts for the Ore
gon representatives in the Pa
cific coast conference saw ac
tion in the recent game between
the Eagles and the New York
giants, and another did not play
-4 but is well situated on the Gi
ants’ roster.
Lefty Bob Smith, the University
of Oregon halfback who teamed
with little Jay Graybeal for so
many sensational yardage gaining
forward passes, is the lone Oregon
man on the New York team, and
the fact that he is not playing reg
ularly is no disgrace as his team is
the defending titleholder of the
eastern circuit.
Emmons a Halfback
Things are slightly different on
the Eagles’ team and it was no
great surprise to see that Frankie
Emmons, Oregon star in the East
West game last New Year’s day,
was being used in the halfback slot
where full advantage could be
.4 taken of his explosive speed and
hard blocking. Emmons impressed
football followers with his fine
showing on the All-star aggrega
tion that met the pro league
champs of last year, the Green Bay
Packers, at Soldier’s field in Chi
cago last month.
Elmer Kolberg is starting his
second season in the professional
ranks. Although he made a name
for himself throughout his con
sistently fine play in the fullback
position while at Oregon State, he
was shifted to right end the min
ute he hit the Eagles’ training
camp. At that position he re
mained through the entire 1939
season. This year the end positions
were greatly bolstered by the addi
tion of Joe Wendlick, another for
mer Beaver great, and Elmer was
returned to his favorite backfield
role.
Schultz on Starting Team
Completing the Oregon quartet
l is Eberle Schultz, Oregon State's
all-coast guard of last season,
Schultz has established himself in
the starting line-up at left guard.
While reclining uncomfortably
on a hospital cot in Illinois, last
August, I happened to tunc in
on a broadcast giving a preview
of the Collegiate All-Star-Green
Bay game- Archie Ward, Chica
go sportsman, who conceived the
idea of bringing the collegiate
best and the Pro champs togeth
er way back in 1933, was asked
which game he remembered as
the most outstanding of the se
ries. Without hesitation he de
clared, “The outstanding contest
was in 1934 when Mikulak of
Oregon carried the All-Stars to
a 0-0 tie by his fine defensive
play.”
f It was quite a thrill to hear the
present backfield coach of the
Webfoot squad praised so highly
by such a famous authority of
sport.
Too Easy-Going
“Honest John’’ Warren gave the
answer to why Emmons did not

against the San Francisco Dons
may misfire when the rugged Web

Oregon's attack isn’t something tc
be kicked aside* It worked with
spasmodic success in the preview
against the San Diego Marines
that is, whenever backs and line
men could stomp through the jjooey
top-layer of mud in Hayward stad
ium and drive on something more
stable.
Today Reveals All
Still Coach Clark Shaughnessy'f
“feint - jab-feint-feint-run-around"
offense may really be all they say
it is—and more, which all adds up
to the same thing, namely, no one
can truthfully say he has an ink
ling of an idea how today's game
will turn out.
Probable starting lineups are as
follows:
Oregon Pos. Stanford
Horne .LE.Grafi
Stuart .LT Warnecke
Segale.LG Taylor
Jacobsen. C .Lindskog
Culwell.RG Palmer
R. Johnson.RT.Banducci
Regner .RE Meyer

Isberg.RH.Gallarneau
Stenstrom. F .Standlee
play the type of ball that he was
capable of playing and did not re
ceive greater national recognition
while fullbacking at Oregon.
“Emmons was too easy going,”
stated the genial frosh coach,
“He didn’t want to hurt anyone
and consequently did not play
as well as he might have had he
been of different temperament.
He did not have the temperament
of a football player.”
Emmons didn't really start tc
play his best until the East-West
game last year. Since then he has
been going like a house afire. His
temperament must have undergone
quite a change when he saw the
possibility of a stack of green pa
per being gained in pro football.
Webfoots on Trial
With the Stanford-Oregon game
on tap today, it behooves me that
this game will be the making oi
breaking of the Duck team. With
a schedule much tougher than that
of last year, the Webfoots will have
to meet Stanford, Washington and
Southern California on successive
Saturdays. A decisive victory to
day will place them on top of the
heap in this race but a loss at this
stage might prove disastrous.

HARD LUCK FOR STANFORD
Don Mabee, Oregon senior right halfback, will be a constant hazard
to the Stanford defense with his southpaw passing and toe-dancing
running. He’ll alternate with Len Isberg, Curt Mecham, and Roy Dyer
in Oliver’s backfield. Stanford is heavily favored to win the game
today in Palo Alto.

First Scrimmage
Jim Newquist Stars in Initial Workout
With 40-Yard Punt Runback; Inky Boe,
Larry Olsen, Pete James Stand Out
By LEE FLATBERG
Yearling football candidates got their first real taste of scrimmage
yesterday as Coach John Warren sent two picked squads out on the
turf to do battle.
Jim Newquist, Camas, Washington high school star, stole the lime
light for the day’s play. Newquist showed onlookers why such startling
press reports came out of Washington about his football skill.
ALL-AMERICAN
Tommy Harmon, great Michigan
back, was named to many all-Am
erican selections last year. He was |
also one of the three leading
ground-gainers of the nation. Last
Saturday he blasted his way
through California and is ready to
uphold his reputation as the best
left halfback in the United States
this year.

able gains in the first brace of
downs, he dropped back to receive
the punt from the toe of Kicker
Inky Boe, and ran it back 40 yards
for a touchdown.
First Team Backfield
Sharing the backfield berths
with Newquist on the team were
Larry Olsen at half, Pete Oxman
and Bob Herndon sharing the full
back slot, and La Vern James at
quarter.
Holding down berths in the other
backfield were Inky Boe and
Charles DeAutremont at half's,
John Saulsberry and Bob Lidy
changing off at full, and Gale Em
mons at quarter.
Newquist set his team up for
its second touchdown with a pass
to Gene Peterson. Larry Olsen car
ried it over to pay dirt on a re
verse.
Backs Look Good
Coach Warren declared he had
made no choice for the first string.
Newquist, Olsen, and James clicked
smoothly in their backfield posi
tions and shoved over two touch
downs. This trio seems to have an
inside running for the backfield
spots.
At the end of the scrimmage
Backfield Coach Jay Graybcal de

Hill, Herbig Best

At Laurelwood

Medalist at 75,
Pleases Gallery
Unhindered by threatening rains,
a well-sized collection of golf fans
lined the green patches of Laurel
wood yesterday afternoon to see
aPtty Berg and Opal Hill in an ex
hibition match-play with Blanche
Herbig and Mrs. John Bushman of
Eugene. The much-heralded young
queen of golfdom slammed a 75
and a birdie in the eleventh to car
ry off an all individual low for the
day.
Miss Berg, teamed with Mrs.
Bushman against her traveling
partner, Mrs. Hill, and Miss Her
big. The Berg-Bushman duo was
unable to beat the rival couple who
posted low scores of 80 and 82 re
spectively for a 162-point net.
Bushman, having an unusual over
par swing during the most of the
afternoon drove in with 89.
Patty Pleases Fans
Although not at her best, Miss
Berg at least exhibited a clever
array of drives, explosion shots,
and putts to supply the gallery
with satisfying comments of her
game. Her drives were 40 or 50
yards better than those of her ri
vals. Remarks from the gallery
made it evident that every one
present was pleased with her dis
position and magnetic personality.
Quotations to herself such as “Oh,
Patricia, how cruel!” when she
missed her shots proves this.
Miss Herbig also played an im
pressive game, scoring a “birdie”
on the ninth hole.
Miss Berg was at the course
during the morning giving demon
strations and interviews. The four
some teed off at 1:30 in the after
noon.

Fall Training
First Workouts
To Start Soon;
Riley Returns
Aspirants for the University of
Oregon’s varsity and freshman
boxing teams may start getting in
condition within the next coaple
of weeks, according to Vaughn
Corley, Webfoot ring mentor.
Corley explained that his time
was completely taken at the pres
ent in his capacity of varsity foot
ball line coach, but that he was
very anxious to have his boxers
begin a training program as soon
as possible. Thus, he said, some
'definite arrangements would be
worked out for the boys in about
ten days.
Pete Itiley Back
Corley took over the boxing
teams for the first time last year,
and bringing a green team along
slowly, won two meets with Pa
cific university, to give his team a
clean slate in their intercollegiate
competition.
Led by Pete Riley, 145-pound
state amateur champion, Oregon’s
team appears on paper to have an
excellent chance to improve on last
year’s showing. Warren Phillips in
the 175-pound class and Marlin
Shedler, a 135-pounder, also are
among the returning fighters of
whom much is expected.
If Oregon's many inexperienced
boxers, a number of them up from
last year's frosh team, develop
quickly enough, Corley intimated
that a Coast conference schedule
might be arranged. However, he
said no Oregon fighter would ever
go in the ring badly over-matched,
so such plans were very tentative.
Patty Berg Golfing
Way Through Life,
Likes Duck Campus
By TOMMY MAYES
If you think Patty Berg would like to know that the Reds lost the
ball game or whether Joe Louis is back in his mitts again, you've got
her wrong. She isn't the hc-mannish or sports-jargonic type of the
Babe Didrikson nature as anyone who saw her go through her gyrations
at Laurelwood yesterday can prove to you.
Eo-freckled, sorrel-topped, and to the last inch modest, Patty was
up at 7 a.m yesterday materializ
ing interviews of a number of un
expected reporters; answers ques
tions in a shy, but good disposi
tioned manner. And she consistent
ly admitted her definite liking for
Oregon.
Said Patty: “I've heard a lot
about Oregon. Doc Spears, former
Oregon golf mentor, coached at
Minnesota . . . and everybody liked
him out there."
She stands five feet three inches,
but she can reach pretty high when
given the chance on a putting
green. A sound swing and a heart
for the game have netted her some
remarkably low scores, the lowest
being a startling 69 which she
made only recently at the Ingle
side course in San Francisco. Her
average drive lands in the vicinity
of the 200-yard marker and she
bangs them out pert and proper.
Hobbies and Dancing
No matter how talented. Patty
has a plum for everything. Her
hobbies aside from golf are skat
ing, reading, and movies — which
she admits she is obliged to sit
through hours at a time.
A history major at Minnesota a
wee bit shy of two years ago, the
widely publicized young athlete an
nounced with pride that she was
a Kappa. Miss Berg is a rather
nimble exponent of the rhumba,
but social affairs just don’t figure
as one of her past-times. So as you
see, golf and champagne don't go
together like ham and eggs or
Amos 'n Andy.
The University of Minnesota has
announced a $600 prize in open
competition for an 80-foot mural
in its new union.
