WHAT GOES ON DAILY EMERALD, Wednesday, October 29, 1941 Page 5 Sigma Nus Crush Phi Celts, Betas Whip Kappa Sigs to Grab Donut Semi-Finals Following the Cal game in Portland two weeks ago there appeared an .editorial in the Emerald questioning some of the activities of the cheering section during the game. The editorial seemed well written and it appeared to this column that an average reader would be able to understand the gist of the article. Specifically it dealt with the attitude the cheering section has taken towards the referee when he penalizes our team. As I said before, it seemed perfectly clear in its meaning and this column thought the subject would be closed but for some unfathomable reason, the main part of the cheering section still thinks it is highly amusing—note the'Frosh-Babe game. Well brethren, take another guess because your so-called amusing actions are about the most degrading sort of sports manship ever to be exhibited on this coast. Fine College Pastime This column has no idea where anyone would get the idea that any kind of activity such as this 1-2-3-aiul so on business is humorous. Nay mister, it’s pathetic. Pathetic that a bunch of college students can’t amuse themselves in a manner some what befitting a gentleman. And furthermore, I wonder if you realize the complete i gravity of it. I wonder if you know those cheers are picked up by the broadcasting system covering the game and sent out over the air. And have no doubt, they are picked up • very easily because I’ve sat in the press box for several ' games and have heard the yells come across the field—the ' radio box is next door to the press box. That means of course, you know, that your queer sense of sportsmanship is heard up and down the coast and even further east^ Of course if that’s all it means to you—that is. if you don’t cue if the name of the school is dragged through the mud because of your somewhat twisted humor, all right. The college isn’t just a bunch of buildings you know—it’s students, profes sor*, spirit, and a few intangible things. But after all it’s; your school, do with it what you will. 1 have one favor to ask. To the house presidents: “Why not ask the fellows to quit it?” Whet a Mess! After checking on tlie final score of Oregon’s 14 to 7 setback Iasi work a couple of times—the closest 1 ever got to hearing if was liing (Vosby recordings-—funny thoughts started spin ning' in my head. First. 1 started wondering what might have happened if Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington had scored oi e more in each of the tussles—that would have, with luck, tied them up. which would have been something unprecedented on the coast. Of course, five teams tied for second place in the l'acific Coast conference isn’t exactly an every day oecurance. I suggest you clip out the standings just as they are now and paste them in your scrap book because it isn’t liable to happen again very often. Don't Fee! Blue If you’re one of the horde who is feeling blue on account Oregon lost last Saturday because you felt we had a team that might play in a certain post-season game that is played in tlie sunshine state due south somewhere around the first of the year, forget it. This column will wager right now his eating t) > column syllable by syllable against any other wager, that Oregon takes it on the chin once more before the season is o\er. and what’s more it will count the Santa Clara and Texas g unes out. Heard at football practice yesterday from a close fol lower of the football team who went south: “Tex is tops • for my money. The way he took that setback was great.’’ An orchid, Tex. Hank's a Coach Now rill'd heard that llank Anderson has got the basketball coach ing job at Baker. Nice going Hank, llank will leave in about a week to take over the job. lie will handle the basketball team and teach a l’. K. class^ llank isn’t through with his classes at th- I ’diversity but will have a special certificate which will enable him to teach and he will return to finish this spring. Much too late to be classified as news but funny. A headline in the Barometer after the Beavers beat Stanford, J “Mighty Beavers Make T Look Like ’L.” Sigma Nil’s mighty football team whipped the valiant Phi Delts, 7 to 2, yesterday and took another long stride along the rocky road that leads to the in tramural championship. Clashing with the Phi Delts in a crucial quarter-final game the Sigma Nus staged a brief touch down march in the second quar ter to win the hard-fought bat tle. Sigma Nus Tally After being stalled in the first period the Sigma Nus, paced by Dick Whitman and Johnny Bu balo, came back to score the winning touchdown on a long pass from Whitman to Bill Car ney. Carney had raced in behind the secondary to snag ' the per fect heave and dash ten yards to pay-dirt. Carney Converted on a Pass The Phi Celt’s charging line kept Whitman in check throughout the remainder of the game except for brief spurts in the fourth quarter. Marching from midfield af ter the Phi Delts had been forced to kick, the Sigma Nus pushed to the shadow of the Phi Delt goal before the aroused defense could halt the drive. Hank Burns, star Phi Delt passer, began to hit his receiv ers in the third quarter and they drove deep into Sigma Nu terri tory before running into a stone wall. Soon after the drive had been halted the Phi Delts intercepted a stray aerial and made a de termined drive to the two-yard line. The alert defense threw back two powerhouse runs and one short pass into the end zone to hang on to the precious one touchdown lead. As Whitman dropped back in the end zone on the first play he stepped over the boundary to give the Phi Delts their two points. Phi Delts Roar The Phi Delts roared right back down the field after taking the free kick to knock again at the door of victory. Again the Sigma Nu defense throttled the threat and Whitman powered a beautiful kick far up the field to release the pressure. Bubalo intercepted a wobbly pass to stem the next Phi Belt surge. After the Sigma Nus had flipped two passes Gabby Galbreaith leaped high in the air to grab one of Whitman's passes and put the Phi Delts back in the game. The last minute flurry failed to click and the Sigma Nus took over on downs as the game end ed. Starting lineups: Sigma Nu Williamson.REL. Wright Skilicorn.C. Riley B. Carney.LER. ..

After battling through the first period in midfield the Betas cut loose with a 40-yard touch down play in the second per&d. Bob Duden to Jim Rathbun. The remainder of the first half was another struggle around the middle of the field. The hard charging lines featured the play throughout the greater part of the game. Brutal blocking gave the passers all the protection that was needed but the second aries smothered all of the passing threats. The Kryipa Sigs finally en gineered a promising splurge late in the third period but the attack bogged down on the goal line. The final Beta touchdown was the result of a last minute Kappa Sig passing attack. Bob Parker, speedy Beta back, intercepted a flat pass and ran 60 yard's un molested for the score.

Coach Hobby Dobson announced the thinning workable number, for the season. “Green and inexperienced, but team,” is the way Coach Hobson pictures the Ducks of this season. Six lettermen are available for service, half of whom are juniors. Leading the returning seniors is Captain Porky Andrews, Webfoot All-American hope and All-Con ference guard. Archie Marshik, 6 foot 7 inch center, and diminu tive Paul Jackson, lightning-like guard, are the other monogram seniors. Rolph Fuhrman, Don Kirsch, and Warren Taylor are the other three junior veterans. Cliff Anet is the other holdover from last year’s outfit, a var sity reserve. Sophomores are \\ a r r e n Christianson, Bob Newland, Bob Wren, Hoger Dick, and Lloyd Jackson. New comers are Willson Maynard, of the squad down to 14 men, a potentially better than last year’s from Lewis and Clark and Sa lem highs, and Les (Butch) Thompson, big center from Reedsport. For the fourth consecutive year the Ducks open the Madison Square garden basketball season December 13 against Long Island university. The transcontinental tour starts December 10 against Wayne university at Detroit, and culminates December 22 against Nebraska at Lincoln.

With all hopes of any kind of a championship quenched Saturday, when the Webfoots lost to UCLA, there is a new khid of determina tion present in the Duck camp. A heavy -scrimmage with the frosh serving as test pilots, was held yesterday and it was a rug ged battle all the way. Minus from the Webfoot work out were: Tommy Roblin, Curt Mecham, Floyd Rhea, Moe Mo shofsky, and Morrie Jackson. Big Ed Moshofsky is the most se riously injured of the quintet and is not expected to be able to per colate against Washington State’s Cougars.

Looking good in last night’s drill, according to Head Man Tex Oliver, were backs Kenny OUphant, Jimmy. Newquist, Tommy Oxman, and Boh Koch. Ail of these men looked especially good on offense. Both Quarterbacks Duke Iverson and Len Surles received special plaudits from Oliver on their blooking. “Both Iverson and Surles looked better than they have all year,” commented Oli ver. While voicing the praises of his backfield Oliver also spiked the rumor that he is to make changes at the ends. A minor in jury to end Tony Crish was cred ited as the basis for all of the drivel. Although Oliver remained as tight lipped as ever about has plans to repel the invasion of the Cougars the smart ones are look ing for the Webfoots to blossom forth with an offense featuring passes. The Washington State line will be no pushover for the Oregon men, and a bunch of punch-drunk Oregon State Bea vers will testify to that. Adding this and the fact that the Ore gon’s ground game against UCLA was on the dull side, to gether, the chances are that Oregon’s main scoring threat will be through the air lanes.
