FOOTBALL PLAYERS, PAST
Never sine the 1903 team has th
Vnlverslly of Oregon had so many
freshrrien playing on -the varsity. The
coaching has been better this year than
that but even coaches can't make foot
ball piayers out of high school men of
unknown caliber, Freshmen have al
ways put fear Into the hearts of the
coaches and the Brads, for as a general
rule their inexperience makes them un
reliable during crucial periods.
The loss of Captain Dutch Koerner
to the Stanford varsity Rugby football
team will be a big blow to the Cardi
nal's chances to defeat California again
this year." Th Oregon ""boy Is a great
player and hla presence In the game has
always been a boon, to the Palo Alto
fifteen. He will be out of the Vancou
ver, B. C, game next week and there
Is a possibility that he may not get

struggle with California, Koerner
sprained his ankle in -practice the other
day.
Talk about your hard luck. Horace
McBride, one of the old members of the
champion Oregon agricultural college
football team of 1397, had about the
worst run of any player in the state.
After being out of the game a couple of
years, while the Spanish-American war
was in progress, Mac went up to Eu

game with the lemon yellow bunch be

collar bone smashed. He never played
again. Now he is selling beef up In
