Webfoots Work
On Iowa Offense
When Coach Jim Aiken and his 37 Webfoots disembark at
Iowa City this week, it will mark the second appearance of a Pa
cific Coast Conference football team at the Hawk eye fort.
The Iowans have played four games this season, losing to
UCLA and Illinois in their first and second contests respectively,
and then coming back to smear Indiana and upset Northwestern.
The Webfoots, now eliminated from further Rose Bowl con
tention—barring an unearthly mir
acle—will face a second place Big
Ten outfit. Since dropping their
first two tilts, the Hawkeyes have
taken on a red-hot tinge.
Oregon’s big problem will be to
reshape the mental composure of
a good club that skidded to the
rocks without any too apparent
reason.
As the Duck coaching staff ran
the Oregons through drills at the
varsity practice lot Tuesday, the
general attitude seemed to be some
thing like forgetting what happen
ed at Los Angeles as though it were
a bad dream.
Aware of I o w a’s prowess
through use of short passes, the
Ducks practiced two defensive
patterns designed to stop both
the passes in the secondary area,
plus the sharp Hawk ground at
tack.
The Oregon squad will run
through plays this afternoon, and
plan to leave for the Midwest
Thursday by plane. A limbering up
drill is scheduled for Friday at Iowa
Stadium, a 21-year-old $500,000
structure with a seating capacity of
over 52,000.
Reports concerning Iowa scrim
mage sessions indicate that Dr.
Eddie Anderson, Hawkeye coach,
is also disregarding the Oregon
defeat at the hands of Southern
California.
Monday’s driiis lasted less than
an hour, though as Anderson sent
his jubilant warriors to the show
ers early as a reward for their stun
ning victory over favored North
western.

Oregon Halfback Bill Fell Unofficially
World's Fastest Man in a Football Suit
By Jack Landrud
“It's a bird—No, it’s a plane—No,
It's Bill Fell!'' This comment may
seem exaggerated, but it very close
ly describes the new speed sensa
tioin of 'the Oregon football team,
lmlfbaclc Bill Fell.
Bill transferred to Oregon this
year as a sophomore from Comp
ton Junior College and is rapidly
making a name for himself as a
football and track standout.
Bill, who stands just a shade un
der six feet and wighs a solid 180
pounds, was born in Long Beach,
California, twenty years ago.
Shortly after he moved to
Compton and attended grammar
school there for six years, junior
high for four years, and junior
college for three years. As a high
school senior, lie won the 100
yard-dash in the California state
prep meet with the time of 9.7
seconds and placed second in the
220-yard furlong.
Last year the Compton Junior
College gridmen, with Fell at one
halfback post, Jack Giblisco, an
other Compton transfer at the
other, and Hugh McElhenny (now
at the University of Washington)
at fullback, powered to 10 straight
league victories, with Fell scoring
10 touchdowns, won the right to
play in the Junior Rose Bowl at
Pasadena.
It \v;is tliis gum*' \vhit'll provid
ed “Flyin* ” Fell with his biggest
111rill in collegiate football, as he
tallied 12 points, Including one
touchdown on an 80 yard kickoff
return, and paced the Jaycees to
a 42-14 win Over the Duluth,
Minnesota Junior College.
Another great thrill came last
si iring when Bill was asked by tlie
Compton track coach to try his luck
at running the 100-yard-dash in a
football uniform. Much to his own
surprise, the time was 10.6 seconds
v. Uich broke the previous unofficial
v\ orld record of 10.6 seconds which
broke tiie previous unofficial world
record of 10.8 seconds held by ex
.Army great Glenn Davis!
Fell consistently ran tlie cen
tury in 0.6 and 0.7 seconds last
|spring and was also outstanding
as a member of the sprint relay
team. Billy Vnderson, son of
•'lliocliester" Anderson On the
J u k Benny radio program, was
Bill Fell, Oregon Star Transfer
another member of the same
sprint team.
Fell first visited Oregon last win
ter term and decided then that he
would like to continue his education
here. About Oregon he comments,
•'1 like the school and the kids very
much, especially the spirit ot tru
fellows on the team and how thej
hang together. It’s a great feeling
to know the student body is behinc
| us and the whole city treats us wit.1
i courtesy and respect.”

Oregon Ducks Went on
H4 Point Scoring Spree
By Gale Sheldon
Back in the days when a touch
down was worth only five points,
the University of Oregon broke all
high score records for intercollegi
ate football in the Northwest by
walloping, shellacking, drubbing,
and nearly pulverizing the Univer
sity of Puget Sound 114 to 0. That
was October 22, 1910.
A hundred and fourteen to
nothing! The score was fantastic.
It more than doubled the score
made by the University of Wash
ington against the same eleven
the week before. The former rec
ord fo rthe Northwest had been
made by the Oregon Webfoots
when they defeated Portland Uni
versity 95 to 0 way back in 1893.
In this one-sided contest the Ore
gon “scoring machine” completely
outclassed their lighter opponents
in every department. The newspa
per reports of that encounter state
that eevry man on the Oregon team
distingushed himself, but that the
play of Captain Taylor, Fenton, left
guard, and Latourette, quarter
back, was “phenomenal.”
>
Local football experts of that day
even went so far as to say that they
believed the performance of
“Chuck” Taylor had never before
been equaled in college football. M
Taylor, right half, made ten of
the Oregon touchdowns, convert
ed 14 extra points, missing but
two attempts, and kicked a field
goal, thus scoring 67 points. At
that he apepared in only three
quarters Of the game and five of
his touchdowns were made dur
ing the first 15 minutes of play.
The team from Tacoma was
heavily outweighed and was crip
pled with injuries. But, according to
the newspaper a c c o u n ts, “the
plucky visitors fought stubbornly
to the end.” What else was there to
say for them ?
Recently The Oregonian ran a
story about the present day
“pbint-a-minute” scoring “binge”
throughout collegiate football.
Maybe they have forgotten the
nearly “two-points-a-minute”
football game of 1910 when the (
Oregon Ducks couldn’t do any
thing but run up the score!

We're very proud of these new jack

They're excellent for general wear

The knit wrists and waist cuff are
warm and comfortable, and the
roomy slash pockets will come in
very handy.
They are very low-priced, at only—
