Injury Riddled Webfoots Drill; Reserves Beat Ducklings. 13-0 By JOE MILLER Smarting from their 15 to 7 defeat at the hands of the Washington Huskies, but definitely not dis couraged or downhearted, Oregon’s thrice-beaten Webfoots resumed practice Tuesday within the gates ■jf Hayward field in a scrimmage against the freshmen. The first string eleven was let off early, but the rest of the' squad were at the grind until dusk. The second and third stringers were only able to push over the Frosh 13 to 0 in a full-time game but looked impressive offensively with Tom Oxman making a strong bid to regain his starting fullback post. The squad should be at full strength for the Idaho game two weeks hence with the exception of veteran handyman Roy Dyer, who suffered a dislocated shoul der in the Husky fray. Dick Ashcom, senior tackle who ripped "a knee cartilage in the W.S.C. game, will be ready to go against the Vandals—who appear in Eugene Saturday, October 24. John Satisfied John Warren stated that he was well satisfied ■with the backfield arrangement last Saturday and that he would stick with it as long as it proved as •successful as it did against Washington. “Honest John” would not be definitely quoted on it, but hopes appeared high around Webfoot coaching circles that Oregon had good chances of going undefeated from here on in - if they can shake the abominable luck that has been following their (Courtesy oi the Oregonian) STEVE BODNEK . . . . . . renter of the stout Oregon front wall. i iootsreps. Warren’s sophomores have been coming on in impressive style—they carried a great deal of the load in last Sat urday’s battle and look like a highly-talented crop of second year men—as in Bill Davis, Boh Reynolds, Scotty Deeds, Ends Brown and Dugan, etc. They should improve as the season progresses, Oregon’s crying need is for a suitable right halfback. When Roy Dyer left last Saturday in the first quarter the smooth-roll ing Webfoot offensive was weak ened markedly on the right side— especially on the defensive side. Ken Olipliant and Scotty Deeds both lacked the weight and ex perience in this position. Warren revealed that he was going to do some shifting if Dyer was not ready by the California game.

Frosh Look Good Against Varsity Suds By BILL STRATTON Oregon’s frosh gridders played their first game together yes terday when they met the varsity second and third teams in a fuil time scrimmage on Hayward field. The varsity won 13 to 0, but the yearlings put up a terrific struggle. The regulars took advantage of the weak freshman pass defense and scored their first touchdown from a pass, and the second one on an end sweep irom the six yard line after moving into that position from a passing attack. The Duckling offense, such as it was, was led by fullback Spud Crouch from Coquille. Crouch is the product of a for mer Duck star, Spike Leslie. Spud punted better than anyone on the varsity has this season. Delis, SAEs, Kappa Sigs, Kirkwood Win Donut Touch Football Tussles By DAN GASSNER anil NED NIEBMAN Sigma Alpha Epsilon continued on the victory trail yesterday when they stopped the hereto fore unbeaten Delta Upsilons, 7-0. It was a freak play that manu factured the winning- touchdown. With the ball on the DU's 20 yard line a pass was thrown by the SAEs into the end zone, the potential receiver juggled the ball into the arms of a defensive man, who in turn in an attempt to stop a possible safety, batted the ball away. Here SAE Dinick came into the picture, catching the pig skin just before it hit the ground, getting credit for the touchdown. A pass to Wilson was good for the conversion. The game, which threatened to break into a riot numerous times, was hard fought, with each man Behind Sport Headlines; Tid-bits in Football- - By FRED BECKWITH These are the facts behind the facts, little items that somehow didn’t crash the first pages of the metropolitan papers of the 'Pacific coast . . . Frankie Albert, Stanford’s famous all-American of 1910-it came very nearly attending his bitter rival school, the University of California! Only reason he didn't was because Stub Allison. Cal varsity coach, and a pair of his assistants, thought he was too small to ever play college ball! They made this opinion af ter Frankie’s graduation from Glendale high school in southern California. . . Jim Phelan, curren coach of St. Mary's galloping Gavels, moaned bitterly the night before the St. Mary’s-California football game this season. Phelan didn’t ■ like the idea of rival coach Stub Allison using two famous track stars, Harold Davis and Grover Klemmer on the Cal football team. Said the St. Mary’s co.acli in no uncertain terms prior to the game: “At least we don’t uso track men on our squad at St. Mary's!” Very nicely put,. Jim my, only maybe you forgot that St. Mary’s doesn't have a track team! . . . Oh yes, California won the ball game, and Davis and Klemmer gathered splinters on the bench! . . . . . .

The big gun in the com paratively weak University of Nevada football team is one col ored youth, Marion Motley by name. Last season, Motley, who is a rather dangerous man at the steering wheel of an automobile, had the misfortune to severely injure a man in his native Reno, Nevada. This happened on a Fri day night. The next day, Motley, out on the bail placed up by his team-mates and Nevada sup porters, ran wild against Ne vada's toughest opponent. Cool as a cucumber, he registered four touchdowns! , . , on the field playing a beautiful ball game. Lineups: SAE DU Thomas. C. Dilling DeKeater.RE. Hann SUillern.LE. Carlsgard Farrow.Q.

Delts, 19; Sherry Ross, 0 With a combined air and ground attack that couldn't miss, Delta Tau Delta swept Sherry Ross hall off its feet by a score of 19-0 in their game yesterday afternoon. Hoyt passed to Shelton for the first goal after a sustained pass ing march had put the Delts in scoring position. The pass which ended in the end zone was good for 20 yards. Hoyt tossed the spheroid to Shelton for the extra point. Touchdown number two came in the third quarter on a short hurl from Stanley to Larson. The touchdown came as a culmina tion of a long drive which start ed after a pass interception. Running 35 yards after inter cepting a Sherry Ross despera tion heave in the closing minutes of the game, Hoyt crossed the loser’s goal line for the Delts’ third touchdown of the game.

He throws an accurate pass and has lots of drive. Aside from the ever-consistent Benny Holcomb, Crouch is probably as good var sity material as any man on the squad. Stanton and Vannatta did a creditable job of handling the varsity tackles, Hanna looked good at the guard position, Able son shone on defense in the end position, and Barnewolt did fine job of snagging passes for the frosh. Cornell’s freshmen will prob ably scrimmage the varsity again before they meet the Oregon State Rooks in Corval lis in the traditional “little civil war” October 23. The Rooks boast a big and strong squad, but the Webfoot freshmen are out to repeat the double victory of last year. lor pulled a close game out of the fire, beating Canard Co-op Tuesday, when he snagged a pass on the one-yard marker, stepping over the goal line for the only touchdown of the game.
