Civil War Feature Saturday Grid Menu By Leonard Turnbull The pendulum of Pacific Coast conference standings swings wide this week as elevens clash in hot-beds of traditional rival ries. with onlv defending champions of the University of South ern California playing a non-conference tilt. Bar Western sports writers give the nod to two teams in the conference, Southern California rates tops in the south with two, wins, no losses or ties. rn the north,. Washington State leads the parade after downing Oregon 20-G in a close-fought af fair and walloping the University of Idaho 43 to 12 in the season's opener. Wehfoots Flan Ilevenge Webfoots of the University of Oregon waddle up to Corvallis this weekend to flutter up revenge for tire 39 to 2 pasting handed them by Oregon State College in 1941, final pre-war setto of the rival schools. In this 49th renewal of the long series, conference hopes of Tex Oliver’s gridiron machine will be brought in the limelight. A spotlight of conference in terest will also be swung up to Washington as Washington State begins a fray with the University of Washington as odds-on fa vorites to push a tie for first place position. Washington was trounced list week by the University of Southern California by a count of 27-11 while Washington State smothered Oregon State 33-0. In Los Angeles UCLA plays host to friendly enemies as they meet the University of, California. Southern California travels down to San Diego for GO minutes of football struggles' .with a team from naval training camp. < Key pivot man, Elliott Wilson of the Oregon eleven was declared ineligible this week in a blow to the Ducks line strength. But the Leicht-Reyonlds-Donovan b a c k fteld trio bolsters Oregon’s dream of a free scoring affair with pro teges of Tex Oliver on the h'eaVy side. fn the Beaver camp a musty at Sports Staff This Issue Editor, Bill Walkensliavv Staff Writers Larry Neer Tom Riley Ross McCormick Dave Gcss Bob Chapman Bob Reed Emorys Defeat The powerful Emory football team yesterday downed the fight ing Sigma club by an impressive 32-G score. Uhle’s 95 yard run was the game’s highlight. Passes accounted for the rest of the tallies that gave the Emorys their wide margin of victory. Today's contest will feature the Barons, pitted against Hanson house. Starting time is scheduled for 4 p.m. mosphere is laden with gloom. Coach Lon Stiner has battered aces on the sidelines with injur ies. The word of his scout on the Oregon-Idaho game that the Uni versity is a dark horse for Pacific Coast conference title, and that Jake Leicht, twinkle-toed halfback, will be boomed for all-American honors, does not sooth the fur rowed brow of Stiner. Oregon State tied an eleven from Camp Beale 14 to 14 then dropped low to Washington State in a game that ended 33-0. First Motorist “I love the beau ties of the countryside.” Second Motorist—“So do I. Sometimes I give ’em a lift.” Leicht, Oregon Halfback All-American Possibility Oregon State College, Corvallis, Oct. 9. Jake Leicht, Oregon’s star quarterback is a great athlete and a top ranking candidate for All American honors. That's the information that headed Bill Howard's scouting report after he had watched the j Wcbfooters trounce Idaho, 33 to 7, last Saturday in Eugene. Howard also reported to Lon | Stiner, head coach of the Oregon State team, that Oregon is loaded ^ with gridiron talent and rates as a good dark-horse bet to win the Pacific Coast conference title. After the report. Stiner sent his squad through a lengthy scrim mage practice Monday afternoon in preparation for Saturday’s game here with the Webfooters. Another tie ivy drill was on Tuesday’s slate. Injuries are adding to the Beavers' woes as they prepare for the opening civil war game here Saturday. A large, number of play ers were on the sidelines Monday. However, most of these men will be ready to play against the Web foots, but will miss most of the heavy work this week. Three men probably won't see atcion Saturday. Buster Holling bery, who sprained his foot severe ly in the Camp Beale contest, only discarded his crutches Monday and probably won't bo back in shape by Saturday. Harvey Cutts, first string right guard, received a side injury in the Beale game, which [ has been slow to respond to treat-1 ment. Chuck Nordstrom, alternate ! left tackle, injured his leg in the Washington State nightmare and may be out of action for a week. Gloom hangs heavy over the Corvallis campus as hopes for a Victory over Oregon appear slight. Indians Call Grid Workout Marchie Schwartz, recently ap pointed head football coach at Stanford, will issue a call for a football team when he returns to the campus early next week, an nounced A.S.S.U. President Bob Kennedy. Kennedy emphasized, however, that Stanford's chance of raising any kind of a team this year would depend entirely on the turnout for Coach Schwartz’ call. And even ; with the team, Stanford will not enter the Pacific Coast Conference this fall. The most hopeful plan is that informal games may be ( scheduled with nearby colleges or service teams when and if an, Indian team is in shape to play.! Coach Schwartz, a devotee of the “T” formation, has spent the past month at the University of Pittsburgh, present headquarters of the Clark Schaughnessy who with his “T” coached the Farm’s 1940 team into the Hose Bowl. Basketball Back “In any event,’’ Kennedy said, “we will definitely start intercol legiate sports with basketball this | winter, and we should be back on our feet by fall of ’46." In discussing the program for the coming school year, Kennedy declared that he approved trying out the new ASSU constitution and that he favored waiting until spring quarter student body elec tions before the constitution was put to an all-campus vote. ‘•But I want to go on record, ne added, “that I'm definitely not in favor of area representation.” He cited the case of the Excom repre sentative from Sequoia Hall, say ing that now Sequoia is closed, he represents no area. The constitution was drawn up during the 1944-45 school year, and was adopted for trial use for this year’s student government. It will be put to a student vote for ratifi cation during this academic year. Most radical change in the consti tution was the adoption of Excom representation by living group areas lather than by classes. A program outline for the annual all-University assembly to be held next Monday morning was presented to Excom by Kennedy. The studentbody will be introduced to the new Dean of Students, John M. Stalnaker, at that time. Facul ty members and Excom represen tatives will sit on the stage and the latter will be introduced to the students, Kennedy announced. The assembly is being planned in co-operation with the Commit tee on Public Exercises. Invitation Postponed Excom discussed an invitatio'p from the University of CaliforniV to have Stanford attend the Cal UCLA football game scheduled for Nov. 24. Decision on accepting the invitation was postponed because the date of the game conflicts with Stanford's Thanksgiving vacation. Excom approved a plan to write a letter to President Sproul of the University of California recom mending leniency in the case of a Cal football player who was sus pended from the team because of his part in the Stanford Axe-steal ing summer quarter. Sports Writers There will be an important j meeting for all who are inter- j ested in writing sports for the j Emerald tonight at 9 p.m. in the sports room of the Journalism building. PRETTV FAST First officer: “Did you get that fellow's number?” Second ditto: "No, he was going too fast." First: “Say, that was a fine looking dame in the car.” Second: “Wasn’t she!” Oliver’s Webfoots Reedy for OSC Tilt By Bill YValkenshaw The, Oregon Webfoots went through a lengthy practice Mon lay in preparation for meeting the Dregon State Beavers in Corvallis next Saturday. Coach Tex Oliver indicated the Ducks would be get ting plenty of these long drills in the coming week in preparation for this all-important game. The Oregon camp contends that any advantage that has been indi cated by camparative scores against Idaho and Washington State has been offest by the ineli gibility of center Elliott Wilson and the fact that the Beavers will be on the rebound against Oregon after hn embarrassing defeat at the hands of the Cougars. Bill Anderson, a seventeen-year old filling Wilson’s shoes, did a good job on the Idaho game and although the lad has the courage and ability, the Webfoots will miss Wilson experience and size in the forward wall. On the lighter side however, is the prospect of unleashing a well balanced Oregon attack against the Beavers. The Webfoots un covered a lot of bright backfield talent in the Idaho game. Quarter back Jake Leicht lived up to Oliver’s fondest dreams, -but. more gratifying was the excellent per formance of Walt Donovan at the right half post. Bobby Reynolds,' star left half of the Washington heartbreaker should be fully re covered from his leg injury that bothered him against the Idaho Vandals. The Beavers of OSC are in for a wild afternoon when they at tempt to hold the Leicht-Reynolds Donovan combine in hand. The only trouble about being able to read women like a book is you are liable to forget your place. Records S hattered* In World!
