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

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

Worried About
Crowd at Home

(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.
