By the time this batch of adjectives Bit the press Friday
>1 i£?ht, a goodly number of questions will have been answered
on the cleat-torn turf of Hayward field. We’ll know what
the Schmidt razzle-dazzle did to the Oregon front wall, or
What the Oregon front wall did to the Schmidt razzle-dazzle.
But this column has to hit a deadline so I can’t linger around
to give you any highlights on the game.
The struggle last night may be dear to your heart, but
in the Pacific Coast hit and miss column that will choose
a team to cavort on the Rose Petals next New Year’s Day,
it doesn’t mean a thing, so let’s get around to something
important. And talking about something important, you
can do some talking about the Oregon State-Washington
shin-dig in Portland this afternoon.
Washington-Oregon State
This will be the second Washington-Oregon State game to
be played on the Mulnomah field and it promises to become
a permanent feature. James Richardson, stadium manager,
says but 9000 seats remain and that they’re going fast.
Giving the scribes that picked Washington near the top and
Oregon State for the cellar, a kick in the teeth, this column
nays that the Orange men will give the Huskies a tough battle
this afternoon. You take a couple of passers like Bob Dethman
and Don Ditrdon of Oregon State, add an elusive back like
George Peters, subtract Don Means, (the Washington back
won’t see action because of an injury) and a bone-crushing
game against Minesota last week, and you have Oregon State
to give Washington a good game. That is, unless I've missed in
my math somewhere. The score, Huskies to win, 14-7.
Down South
Down south in the land of sixty buck every other
Saturday, there comes promise of a few good games. At
Palo Alto we have the battle of the alphabet, the T vs.
the QT. We like the T plus Albert and Mmetovic so it
■ should be about 24 to 0 for the Redskins.
Just a little further south at Los Angeles we think the
Trojans will club Ohio about 12 to 0. The bommer team
of the Coast, California hikes north to Pullman where
Jurkovich and company contemplate a blitz of the Cou
gars. With Jurkovitch we say they'll do it about 13 to 0.
Firosh vs. Rooks
In the mail yesterday morning from the country cousins
there came an impresive list of some (35 grid aspirants that
turned out for football under rook coach. Bill Mclvalip. The
list, looked innocent enough till we ran across names like Bill
Kiekoloff. Bill Grey, and Omar "Wilson, who were All-City in
Portland last year. Other names that caught the attention of
the column were Ben Trout of Fillmore, California ; Boh Nor
ris, Klamath Falls, and Dick Miller of Albany. The rival
yearlings will have their first chance at drawing blood in Fort
hind on October 17.
Warren seems fairly content with his frosh team this year,
which is highly unusual. A word of praise from John means
something and he hints that he has a fair line. With two boys
like Vic Atiyeh and Marshall Patterson, both hefty 200-pound
ers, this can be understood.
Another game has been added to the frosh schedule this
year. The frosh play the Portland Air Base team on the Civic
Stadium field November 15.
Unclassified at Press Time
Buck Shaw at Santa Clara has the right idea about
scouting- opposition. For the Oregon-Stanford game last
Saturday, Shaw sent 50 scouts, his entire football squad
and two scouts. My condolences to Art Litchman—he had
the job of keeping tab on substitution in the game last
night. How is the writer’s cramp, Art? Who says the draft
' is catching all the athletic talent. We hear that Bob Reider
and Pete Igoe have been inducted by cupid into the bonds
of matrimony. Top sport quote of the week to Joe Louis:
“I want to fight honest so that the next colored boy can
get the same kinda break I got.”

Idaho Smashed

On Soaked Turf

sweep around his own right end.
However, Mecham reared back,
snatched the ball from Roblin,
and behind a wave of Duck inter
ference, raced 35 yards to score
unmolested. This same “boot-leg”
reverse scored against Oregon
State last year and nearly went
the route against Stanford last
week. Again Newquist was in
jected to convert. Successful, Ore
gon was ahead 14 to 0.
Vandals Score
With but 30 seconds remaining
before halftime, Idaho managed
to push over a score and boot a
conversion, the culmination of a
penalty-riddled drive after Ore
gon halfback Frankie Boyd let
the ball squirt out of his hands
on the Webfoot 35,
Manson, with Oregon’s forward
wal! rushing relentlessly at him,
threw the ball away in despera
tion. However, the Ducks were
offside and were penalized five to
their own 30. Manson, cornered
again, duplicated his previous
performance. Bill Micklich, Van
dal fullback, pierced Oregon’s
left guard for 3. Manson tried the
line, no gain. A reverse, Mick
lich to Manson, reeled off 9 yards
to the Webfoot 18. Manson again
failed to progress, and was
dumped for a two-yard loss on
ihe next attempt. Manson's pass,
incomplete. Dan Davidoft rushed
in to replace George Nixon at
quarter for Idaho.
Lead Slashed
Manson threw another, and
Oregon was dunked for interfer
ing, rendering the pass complete
on the YVebfoot 5-yard line. Mick
lich sneaked through for a half
yard. Micklieh again, this time
stabbing to the 1-yard line.
Dammed up for no gain on the
next attempt, Micklieh then piled
over for a touchdown.
Milo Anderson, Vandal end,
converted, and Idaho slashed
Oregon's two-touchdown lead in
half.
Oregon's -final score, the last
of the game, topped a short
shove from the Idaho 32, after
Manson’s feeble 16-yard kick.
Boyd poked through the mid
dle for a yard, then cut back
over center and plowed 11 more
for a first down on the Vandal
20. Bill Dunlap, Oregon fullback,
cracked through for 5 to Idaho’s
15. Boyd shot over right tackle
for 3, and on the following play
reversed to Dunlap who skirted
the Vandal left end for a first
down on the 3. Dunlap was
stopped cold, and Oregon was
forced back 5 yards for too much
time in the huddle.
Meeham Counts
Mecham jabbed 3 yards to the
5, but Oregon was guilty of the
same offense and penalized five
more to the 13. Roblin’s pass slid
off Shephard’s fingers in the end
zone, but on the following play,
Mecham raced around left end
to score by a whisker. Newquist
again came in to convert, and
Oregon was ahead, 21 to 7. Two
minutes 45 sconds later the game
ended, with Oregon in possession
of the ball after Idaho could do
nothing with it.
Rain had a large part in riddl
ing the game with fumbles—nine
in all—and bogging down the at
tacks of both teams, making the
contest dull in spots.

Warren Drives
Frosh Gridmen
in Tough Drill
Oregon’s Ducklings continued
their gruelling workouts yester
day on a slippery turf as inter
mittent showers made ba’l hand
ling difficult. Coach John Warren
had several backfields working
on the fundamental plays. War
ren continued to stress blocking
assignments in an effort to per
fect the offense.
Linemen Shine
Several linemen were outstand
ing as the defense made life mis
erable for the ball packers. Mar
shall Patterson, a guard from
Santa Monica, California, playing
at defensive right end under the
watchful eye of Don Mabee, con
sistently broke up power drives
outside the tackle until Warren
switched him to offense.

interference on the reverse
plays. ^
Atiyeh, Feklman
Vic Atiyeh, 210-pound all-city
guard from Portland, and Marty
Feldman, giant guard, were load
ing the interference with devas
tating results. The backs had lit
tle trouble with the defense when
these boys were clearing the way.
John Garrison, a hard-run
ning halfback from Long
Beach, California, was gaining
huge chunks of ground on fake
reverses over the tackles.
The squad continued to work in
makeshift teams as the practice
sessions rolled along to the first
game against Oregon State in
Portland two weeks from last
night. ^
Frosh Swimmers Out
Coach Mike Hoyman greeted
the frosh paddlers in the opening
practice session of the season last
week.
Several promising swimmers
reported to Hoyman. Bob Hankey,
Bob Prowl, and several other
boys have started training'.
Lucky Boy
Tim Sullivan, Yankee bat boy.

recent baseball history.
He has collected a share in the"
last four out of five world series,
thanks to the potent Yankees, y.
His share amounts to S1500 ev
ery year that he works in the
classic.
