Northwest in years! The greatest galaxy of all-stars to ever

finest and most spirited games
that has ever scarred its ancient

of saying that this going to be a
“dog eat dog" fray, a purely
grudge battle.

Track Picture
Brighter for
1943 Season
When Colonel Bill Hayward is
sues his official call for track as
pirants next spring, he will have
« considerably brighter outlook
than lie did last season. He will
have eight returning lettermen
instead of three as was the case
last year.
Four lettenuen — Francis
Ttickwiler, Zenas Butler, F.d
ivin lieiner, and Bill Boss—are
lost from graduation. Tuokwil
er was captain and will be
missed in (lie middle distances,
as will lieiner. Butler was the
colored speed merchant and
ace hurdler that will leave a
liig hole in the squad. Boss will
tie missed for his dependability
in the two-mile event.
Ore of the returning letter
winners, Bob McKinney, was out
last season because of an attack
of pneumonia just before the sea
son started, but will be back to
holster the half-mile event.
Fight I.ettermen
Do a Wilson should bo a strong
contender for the mile in the ND
this season. Stan Ray will bo
hack to build the backbone of
the middle distance events and
tin1 relay squad. Ralph Kramer
is a hoy to watch in the high
rails. Bob Newland will be driv

jump, Homer Thomas will bo
reaching for the 14-foot mark in
the pole vault, Warren Finke is
dependable in the javelin, and
Fred Foster will be the only let
terman returning in the weight
department.
The Boy to Watch
Ot tin* freshmen coming up,
Wally Still is the boy to watch.
He did the 100-yard dash last
eason in :!*.!>, ran on the mile
relay team—anchor muii at
tiiaj—and made a creditable
showing in the javelin.
Colonel Bill has made no an
nouncement in regards to the
turu out date, but last season he
was urging the eindennen to
start working onr soon as pos
sible in order to be in shape by
the time the regular season
starts.

Koch when they joined the naval
air corps—add the never lost
love between Tom Roblin and
Newquist.
Manny Vezle, back from
scouting the ‘‘Devil Dogs” in
their open Saturday against
Pacific, reports they looked
potentially great in rolling
over the Tigers 38 to 9, but
that they can be beaten.
The 45-man Oregon squad ap
pears to be in good shape and
are shaping up amazingly fast
considering the short practice
period that they had, compared
to the 25 day edge Tex’s Sailors
will have on them. Tob Oxman,
varsity fullback and Bud Cote,
sophomore fullback, will be the
only two not to see action, leav
ing the bucking post in the
hands of sophomore speed mer
chant Bill Davis, who has shown
tremendous promise in the posi
tion. Roy Dyer will move over
from the right half position to
provide needed relief for Davis.
Secret Practices
‘ Honest John'' has ordered se
cret practices behind the locked
gates of Hayward field this week,
and he will give his eleven the
secret maneuvers that he hopes
will bring victory next Saturday.
The “daily double” practice ses
sions has been cut to one-a-dav
now, and Warren will hold one
more scrimmage before the game
probably on Wednesday.
Oliver’s squad will carry
elose to GO men on the travel
ing squad, included in this list
eight former all-Americans, a
score-odd professional players,
and others well-versed in the
finer arts of pigskinncry, be
ing from college teams from
coast-to-coast.
In attempting' to defeat his
former school, Oliver joins hands
with former rivals from a nearby
hated institution, Hal Moe and
Jim Dixon, former Oregon State
college coaches now on the navy
coaching staff. Also with the
Aviators are Vaughn Corley,
Oregon line coach and Bob Offi
cer, veteran Webfoot trainer. The
entire Saint coaching staff num
bers to men.

!M Program
Unchanged
Fall Term
By BILL STRATTON
In accordance with the new
mass PE set-up, Dr. Paul Wash
ke, campus intramural director,
announced Tuesday that more
boys would be urged to turn out
for intramurals and all-campus
competition, but the program
would include practically the
same activities as in the past.
Included in the intramural
program fail term will be
touch football and volleyball—
“A” and “B” tournaments. The
SAEs are the defending foot
ball champs, but will be with
out their spark plug of last
season, Ozzie Kedficld, who is
on the varsity and pressing his
mates for an end berth.
The Phi Delts are the defend
ing volleyball champs in the “A"
league, while the ATOs hold the
‘■B" league crown.
Sigma Delta Psi
In the late spring sports of
last year that have net had much
mention before, the Sigma Delta
Psi tourney is the most signifi
cant. The ATOs won the meet,
but Bill McArthur, Independent,
took individual scoring^ honors
with 71 points, trailed by Jim
Mamie, SAE; and Bob Wren,
DU. That was the second consec
utive year that McArthur had
taken scoring honors.
W a s h k e announced that
there will be four sports in the
ali-cumpus competition' fall
term. Included are tennis, sin
gles and doubles; and ping
pong, singles and doubles.
There will probably be few
changes in the program, Washke
declared, except that a larger
turn-out is urged to tie in with
the mass PE set-up. (See story
in this issue.)

Anse Cornell New Frosh
Mentor; Segale Assists
Oregon’s frosh footballers
are for a treat this fall. Anson
B. Cornell, the dynamic athlet
ic manager, has been drafted
to take over the coaching
chores. Cornell was one of the
fieriest and gamest quarter
backs the 'University has ever
had, playing here from 1912
15. He has a long and success
ful career as a coach, being 17
years head mentor at the Col
lege of Idaho from 1916 to
1933 and three years at Pacific
university in Forest Grove to
1936, the time his University
called on him to be athletic
manager. Cornell is a great
spirit-maker, and it is fully ex
pected that he will breathe a
fine brand of fighting spirit
into the Frosh.
Segale Helps
Coaching the line and assisting
Anse will be another famous
Oregon luminary, but one of a
more recent vintage—Ray Se
gale. three-year letterman guard
—who wound up last season in a
glorious skyrocket by being
named on several all-coast squads
and being generally recognized
as one of the most outstanding
guards in the conference, will
take charge of the neophyte line
men.
Football practice is plated
to begin, the week after regis
tration and Cornell strongly
urges all physically-able fresh
men to turn out. Pointing out
the greater emphasis on foot
ball due to the war, he states
that football is the gi\$atest
conditioner for the battle be
yond, and that everyone will
get a chance to play and scrim
mage, where they might be
more limited in other sports.
“We are not looking for high
school prima donnas,” declared
Cornell, “and the boys that
show the courage and the abil
ity to learn will have the most
chance on the field. They’ll be
kicking dirt over their shoul
ders when they get through.”...,
3-Game Schedule
The schedule will consist of
three games, two against the
Oregon State Rooks and the
Washington Babes. The first
Rook game is at Multnomah st%
dium in Portland the Fri^f
night, Oct. 16, and thfe second
the night of Nov. 20 in Eugene.
The game with the University
of Washington Babes is set for
Nov. 7 in Seattle, which means
that the athletic manager will
miss his own Homecoming.
Vezie Loach
As Sideline
Assistant Coach Manny Vezie
handles his mentoring chores as
a sideline to the off-season posi
tions that he holds down. In the
spring and summer Manny runs
one of the most popular boys
camp in the Southern California
area, and in the winter he bo
dies various business affairs^?
Los Angeles.
Vezie, on his return to Ore
gon, said, “I just couldn’t stay
away—this country is tops, the
people are among the nicest 1
have ever met, and John is the
nicest guy that I have ever
worked with. There is no rea
son why, after the war, Oregon
won’t be able to get the finest
football material in the coun
try. Why, if boys all over the
country knew how marvelous
this school was, they wouldn’t
go any place else.”
Vezie, former all-American un
der Knute Rockne at Notre
Dame, still locks as though he
could play a good 60 minutes of
football and is one of the hardest
working athletes on the practice
field. ^
