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

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. Bill Ski

Webfoot Basketballers
Begin ferocious Practice
With light preliminary workouts a thing of the past, Oregon’s
basketball Webfoots settled down Monday to serious, concentrated
practice, designed to whip the Ducks into top shape. 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.
The team will return to Eugene
December 24 and will disband
over the Christmas holidays to
resume practice, and catch up on
studies December 29, Hobson
said.

Cougar Plays Main Course
On Oregon Workout Menu
By WALLY HUNTER
University of Oregon’s twice defeated but still mighty Webfoots
are back at work this week and the main dish set up for them has
been a liberal portion of Babe Hollingbery’s Washington State plays.
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

is not expected to be able to per

nursing minor injuries and will
probably be ready for the at

tempt to de-pelt the Crimson
Grey Cougar.
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.
