By Bob Chapman Oregon s grid hopes against Idaho suffered a terrific letdown Friday when it was announced that Elliott Wilson, key man in the Webfoot forward wall at the pivot slot, had been declared in eligible for the remainder of the season. This will really hurt the Webfoots because Wilson, the only letterman on the line, was counted upon by head Mentor Tex Oliver to hold the center wall. ( Xil Abner played a great game against the Huskies at Seattle Satin da) , with only four days of practice, and he was expected to stai t against the \ andals earlier in the week. Several scribes who saw Wilson play said that the Oregon center was sure of making the all-coast squad. Anderson Takes Over Wilson’s departure from the lineup will make it tougher for Oregon to come through with a victory today but Bill Anderson, alternate pivot man is expected to fit into^he starting lineup be cause he saw considerable action against the Huskies. .

Tex seemed to be expecting a close game even though the \ andals lost to Washington State last Saturday by a 43-12 score. J he \ andals failed to put in an appearance Friday afternoon, because of the train wreck in Portland, but the Vandal squad will probably hold a light workout this morning. Attendants were readying. Hayward field for the opener Fri day afternoon, lining the field, installing public address systems, painting the associated score board, and preparing the field for the first collegiate gridiron contest in three years. Frosh, Don’t Forget Your Lids J he stage is set and at 2 o'clock this afternoon football will re turn to the campus, and all frosh are asked by upper classmen to wear their rooters lids. If you don't have one the Co-op will be happy to sell all of the green Webfoots a lid. J timing away from Oregon it might be interesting to note that Stanford, the only team in the conference refusing to field a grid eleven this season, has more than 1500 men on the campus and il the turnout here is any indication the Indians could have a •squad of more than 100 players. A1 Masters, athletic manager for Stanford says that a fall practice will be held late in November. Elliott Wilson Declared Ineligible; Loss Hurts J lie l niversity of Oregon football squad plagued by injuries and ineligibility rulings constantly this season, received the payoff yesterday when Dean Orlando Hollis announced All Conference center Elliott \\ ilson ineligible for the rest of this season. \V ilson, according to Hollis, has played out his four eugi ouny pius an extra sea son in ’41. Had he been allowed to keep on playing this would have been his fifth official year of collegiate competition, having reg istered at Nebraska as a freshman in ’37 and withdrawing in the middle of that same term. Wilson then came to Oregon in ancT played freshman ball. According to the peace-time transfer rule, a student after registering in one institution must stay out of competition for one year upon going to another school. Evidently big “Abe” did not men tion his time spent at Nebraska when he enrolled here in '38 or he could not have played his fresh man season. Four Seasons Completed What with having to serve one year of ineligibility pins playing in ’38, '0, ’41, Wilson already has four seasons after his name and is definitely out for the season ac cording to Hollis. He will really be missed today down on the Oregon line, and Coach Tex Oliver was desperately trying to replace him in the latter part of yesterday’s drill. Big Abe was captain of the Duck squad in the Washington scrap and was a bulwark on defense while backing up the line and piling up Husky plgjjS.. time and time again. He has been replaced by 200 pound Bill Anderson who played a whale of a game himself what time Wilson was on the bench at Seattle. Anderson was to have been first string center until Wil son showed up just before the Washington game. He is a big fast rugged boy who shows plenty of fight and should be able to give Idaho’s center a hot afternoon. The Shackrat By WINI ROMTVEDT There are times when the Shack (basement of the journalism build ing to laymen) approaches an appearance not unlike the reputed pre-war levels. At least they tell us the Shack used to be the most lively place on the campus after noon and evenings. With a larger male sports staff, a few men on beats and on the copy desk, and more people on the scene at all times, a little of the good old days is returning. < Although a number of vets have returned to take up journalism, the only former Shackrat to pop in and out of his old abode is Ted Bush, who is looking for more members of the journalism honor ary, Sigma Delta Chi, so the group can get organized again. Absent is Margueritte Wittwer, better known as “Beaver,” who is expected back this week from her trip to New York to take over her post as managing editor. Shackrats who take time out for a rugged game of darts between Correction A headline which ran in yes terday’s Emerald stated that the Wives club, a group includ ing the wives of servicemen and i married women who have been in the esrvice, will meet Mon day. This is incorrect, as the meeting is scheduled for Tues day, October 9. L.S.A. Plans Picinic Sunday At City Park I A Sunday night picnic at Hen dricks park has been planned by the Lutheran Students association, it was announced Friday. Luther an students and any others who would' like to go will meet in front of the library at 5 p.m. and from there will go to the park. Students are asked to bring 20 cents for the cost of supper. In case of rain, the group will meet at the YWCA bungalow at the same time. Following the picnic, a program including games, singing, and a de votional service will be presented.

The Newman club will hold its first meeting of the fall term Sun day evening, 7 p.m., in the YMCA building. All Catholic students are invited' to attend, and to help make plans for the coming year. stories may be interested to know that the dart board was left, per haps inadvertently, by Anne Craven, 1944-45 Emerald editor, How in Portland with United Press. The board became established in the newsroom following the Shackrat party last spring. The question remains: “How does Miss Craven get along without her dart board?” Answer: “They have one at United Press.” G.T.’s “Best of the Week,” is up on the “Hell Box,” newsroom bulletin board, and according to Mr. Turnbull, “Both editorial and buiness staffs are making the difficult adjustments involved in doubling the size of the paper.” His choice for best news story of the week was “Fowl Affair,” by Laverne Gunderson; and best feature story, Barbara Johns’ story on Mick McCandless. When you see, come even’time, a pair of marine fatigues, a rooter’s lid with marine corporal stripes, and a flash of red hair, that is Jeannfe Simmonds. Simmie is pretty fond of marines, at least in general, and particularly her dad, Col. E. P. Simmonds, whose pic ture now adorns the battered wall above the news editor’s typewriter. Drop in today for complete de tails on the who, what, when, where, why and how of becoming a Shackrat. And speaking of sarongs, it isn’t a girl’s waistline that counts—it’s her outline. Passeau Hurls One - . - Vtf Hitter to Beat Tigers By Bob Reed 1 he Chicago Cubs, behind the superb pitching of Claude Passeau. yesterday defeated the Detroit Tigers 3*1 in the third game of the World Series at Briggs Stadium in Detroit. Pas seau gave up only one hit over the entire nine innings and also pitched the second shutout of the series, and the second against the Tigers. Passeau’s brilliant performance yesterday will go down in World Series history. He equaled and in one sense, even bettered the hurl ing feat of another Cub, one Ed Ruelbach, who pitched a one hit, 7 to 1, victory over the Chicago White Soxs in the second game of the 1906 World Series. Yesterday's game marked the first time a World Series team had been shut out on cne hit. The Cubs reached the two Tiger pitchers, Frank (Stubby) Over mire and A1 Benton for 7 hits in downing the Tigers for the second time in the series. The Cubs hold a 2 to 1 edge over the Tigers, with four games left to play. Fourth, Big Inning Chicago bumped Overmire for two runs in the top of the fourth. Peanuts Lowrey led off with a double against the left field screen. Phil Cavarretta, Cub first sacker, sacrificed him to third. Andy Pafko drew a walk and Bill Nichol son drilled a single to center to score Lowrey and put Pafko on second. Roy Hughes then dumped a short single into right center and the fleet Pafko scored from second with the Cubs second run of the game. Overmire retired the side by striking. » Chicago added its last run in the seventh inning off the veteran hurler, A1 Benton. Livingston hammered a double up against the right field fence. Hughes sac rificed him to third, and he scored on Passeau’s long fly to Cramer in center. Hack Leads Batters Stan Hack and Peanuts Lowrey led the Cub attack with 2 hits apiece. Hack is the leading hitter of the series so far, with 6 hits out of 13 times at bat for a per centage of .561. The series moves to Chicago today for the fourth game of the series. The Tigers will be out to even it up.

Campbell club made their touch down early in the second quarter. A pass from Jerry Mosby to Jim Beyer put the ball on the Seven's nine yard line.
