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

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.

Win Donut Touch Football Tussles

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

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! . . .
. . . Charlie White last season
was the number one water boy
at the University of San Francis
co. He became satisfied with the
way some of the Don Varsity
members were playing'. This year
just take a glance at U.S.F.’s
second string right half. Yeah,
you guessed it. it's Charlie White!
. . , And here’s the pay-off of
pay-offs! 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! , . ,

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.
A first quarter Sherry Ross

He got off four boots—one for
40 yards, the next two for 55
yards, and the fourth was blocked.
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.

ably scrimmage the varsity
