(NEA) Fifteen let termcn bock, a wcnltli of great fresh man material dovclopod by the now head conch, and a problem with the central trio of tho rush lino that's tho football situation at University of Oregon. And how far tho Ore gontans get depends to a great ex tent on how well these ex-freshmen deliver. Oono Is "Doc" Spears. Replacing him ns head coach la "Prink" Colll son, who centered for Oregon in 1021 and '22. Ho became coach at Mcd ford, Oro., High school In 1022, and In six years slnco then he lias had undefeated tcamB. His last unbeat en team was tho 1031 freshmen hero. And In two seasons before, here, his yearlings lost only two gomes. Calllson differs from Spears In his grid doctrines becauso he seek of fensive. Ho builds for a scoring ma chine, and defense at times looks ragged. Dut there's plenty of ag gressiveness and net lon. Tho greatest loss to the learn Is In tho center of tho line. Eric Porstn, center par-excellence, and Cnpt. Irv SchulK, guard, are gone, and Ilernle Hughes (1B0), the other stnrtlng guard, last year, has been moved to con lor. with Chuck Swansuit (175) an alternate lost year, and two soph omores Gemlo and Chnsc, 180 pounders also available.

Nell (Associated Presa Sports Writer) ABOARD THE CUBS SPECIAL TRAIN. EN ROUTE TO CHICAGO. TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 30 UP) Speed ing toward old familiar fields, the twice thwarted Cuba rose today from their Pullman berths more concerned with the problem of facing the home folks than with the outcome of the world series with the New York Yan kees. In every mind was the thought of the 100,000 rabid faithful who lined the streets of tlio home town two days after the Cubs won the Na tional league pennant, frantically yell ing their names, showering with con fetti the open cars they rode In tri umph to tho civic reception in their honors. Tho mayor was there in the review ing stand and all the notables of tho city, proud of their champions, ab solutely certain they could not be beaten. No city in the baseball world reveres Its diamond heroes, worships j as Chicago. So it's not difficult to Imagine how the rank and file of the Cubs, from j Manager Charley Grimm air the wayi down to the bat boy, felt coming I homo to that kind of fandonx, beaten j in both the first two games in Newj York, having In their own eyes let . down tho most loyal, most enthusias- J tic, most believing fans In &U tho , baseball world. j "It gets you down," one of the regulars said as he poked his break- fast victuals listlessly. "I don't know how wo will face the bonk, I guess we've been trying too hard." Underneath this feeling, however, was the deadliest kind of determina tion to fight it out with the Yankees to the last, to prove to the world and tho folks at homo that ono team can mpko baseball history and win a world championship after losing tho first two gamps. To a man the Bruins feel that they will have all the advantage at Wrlgley field, both In physical factors and the inspira tion of their faithful. . "This Is a tight spot," said Grimm seriously. "But we've been In tight spots before, Wo won the National league pennant beating the odds, There's no quit m this ball club." Grimm has named Charley Root, veteran right hander, to pitch Satur day in the first of three games sched uled in Chicago. He believes the Yan kees will havo a great deal of troublo hitting tho sldearm curver there.
