The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Thntsday Morning, October 3, 1929 PAGE SEVEN Y ,VUU IK&U.. COMMENTS The Webfoots play Stanford Saturday, down at Palo Alto. We Notice where a Eugene paper calls the Oregon team the x "Ducks," .whereat the sports editor of that fiaper may hear a mighty wail, hough tor that matter "webfoots" and "ducks" come near enough being synonymous. If the Portland all team's experience is any prec edent, that opens the way for somebody to call Cap McEwan'a men the decoys, the lame duck;, the waddlera, etc. The- dictionary. though, says "duck" as applied to a human being U a term of en dearment. If the -Stanford rhetoiie department is up to par. Pop Wur- Iner's boys probably won't call the Oregon men ducks. Maybe it was Fop, or maybe Rockne, Zupple, or some other high priced gridiron wizard, who said too ninny letternien were bad for a football team. Letternien play on their reputa tions, this gent averred, where at! it takes ambitious young sters to get in and fight. Fight, we are also told, is 00 per cent of football. These football geniuses have a Vay of saying unorthodox things n order to get their names In the papers, but maybe this fellow, Whoever he was, was right. We don't believe all the guff that emanates from the football training camps in early autumn, and we're especially unsold on the validity of Oregon's appar ent showing in last Saturday's Bune with Pacific. Rersiember this it was Oregon's onry game prior to the Stanford mix, and Hill Warner was there taking copious notes to be forwarded to brother Pop. McEwan un doubtedly was doing his best to give Bill a bum steer. I But If the ballyhoo broadcast from Eugene this week is correct. McEwan's veterans played like a bunch of mummies and the re serves whom we were informed a week or so before he didn't have, piled up the big score against Pa cific. Maybe the coach who decried an excess of letterinan had the right hunch. Xota also that Pacific didn't fiake a first dovn against Oregon. C the Webfoots were playing Stanford at Eugene or Portland Instead of Palo Alto, we would ; Concede them pretty near an even fchance. The California climate is something else again. At this writing ft appears that the Portland Docks have a mathematical but not a practi cal chance to win the Coast league second half pennant. If they swept the present series, they would be ahead of Holly wood, but that doesn't take care or the Missions, who are playing the poor Indians. All the Ducks t an hope to do Is to cheat the fitnrs out of first place. Whether or not the Ducks are )Qual to that achievement is a problem we hate to tackle. Here's something about the Ducks we laven't heard anybody mention tince they started their spectacu ir drive two months ago: there Vsn't a choke hitter in the outfit rxcepting Woodall, the catcher. Bates comes the nearest to it of Che others. The rest of them swing from their toes. That's why the Ducks are a leather larrupin' outfit one day . ami a complete dud the next. ' If the opposing pitcher feeds , them anything good, they soak ! It out of UieTnrk; but if he has ' anything on the ball and keep it in the awkward places. It's a ' bad day for Ducks. They have ' pounced hard on the opposition plenty of times, but their bat ' ting averages are Just fair. ' That situation, aside from the dearth of pitchers In the last few weeks, kept the Ducks from reaching the goal they were driving at. Batting style is also the expla nation as to why Walters and Har Vis get their pictures In the papers While Bates Is up there with 'em tn the batting averages. But the k-alter-Harris style is the Babe Ruth stvle which Is so popular lust new. It's a box office style of T . . asi 1 a hitting, ana me oox oruce is wmi rules. What do you know about this Centralia junior college? Its football team seems to have scheduled a trip into Oregon for nearly every week end this sea son. It has already played Mon mouth Normal, and has a game this week with Iaafleld. Later on it plays the O. S. C. Rooks, and reports from Monmouth I mention a return game at Cen- tralia. Aren't there any teams of Centralia's calibre In Wash ington? Transfer Firm Is Incorporated Here Wednesday The Hnnt Transfer company. Inc.. with headquarters in Port land and capital stock of $25,000. has been incorporated by Rndle Wilhelm, S. M. Gaddia and C. D. Chrlstensen.

Dundee and Kentworth Clash Here Wednesday FIGHTS SLATED E Headliners Will Appear Cards This Winter Says Plant in Fight cards every other Wed nesday night from now on through out the winter, and no main event era who are not already well known to the fans here that is the program announced by Match maker Harry Plant. Jack Kentworth and Pat Dun dee will be featured in an eight round main event on the first card, next Wednesday night. Octo ber 1, the matchmaker announced further. These lads have fought In the local ring twice, once in a semi windup and once as the best scrap on a triple main event; and the winner hasn't been determined yet. Both fights were draws. Since that time Kentworth, hard hitting southpaw who was un earthed locally as a novice last winter, has been fighting regular ly in other parts of the northwest. He has built up a following among the Portland fans, and is In de mand there. He specializes in left handed sleep punches. Dundee Has Long Fighting Record Dundee is a scrapper of much longer experience, and he also carries a mean wallop. His spe cialty is burying uppercuts with all his weight behind them, just above the belt. Dundee got off to a poor start when he first appear ed in the ring here, but he has gained back all he lost on that oc casion. He pleased the fans espe cially by stepping into the ring at a moment's notice and putting tip a good scrap against the heavier Johnny Trambitas, o n a record card when one fight fell through. On the coming program, the matchmaker will make up for the shortness of the main event by slipping in two eix round fights, both of which he promises will be drawing cards. There will be two special four round fights and a four round curtain raiser. Kentworth has been keeping In good condition and fighting regu larly, and Dundee, apprised sever al days ago that he would-be call ed upon to enter the ring soon, has already started the task of finish ing up his training, which will not be difficult because he has been keeping in good trim and do ing some work regularly. GUIS LEAGUE STARS Bowlers of the Club league got acquainted with each other Wed nesday night and since it was a sort of reunion for the old mem bers and reception for the new ones, the opening night's play was markedly social in nature and everybody was allowed to win some games.

REITINGER Associated Press Staff Writer PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2. (AP) The uncertainty of base ball has brought many surprises, but no world's series has resulted in a greater upset of the popular dope than the October classic of 1914. It was the year that the Boston Braves, under George T. Stalllngs, the "Miracle Man," not only de feated the Philadelphia Athletics but rubbed It In by winning tour straight games. Great was the surprise la Quakerdom and all along the American league circuit when the Boston team, which had been in last position late In July, climbed to the National league pennant, and wrecked Connie Mack's great baseball machine the champions of the world. It was the first time that a team had lost the world's title tn a four-game tournament without a tie. There was no flake about the Boston triumph; there were no "breaks of the game" to lean on as alibis. It was a debacle that echoed up and down the big leagues for many a day. Most of the wise men could see only another world's champion ship tor Connie Mack. No com bination was expected- to stand up against the Athletics' hard-hitting outfield, or the saper-lnfield of Mclnnis, Collins, Barry and Ba ker; or Bender and Plank and Bush, a group of worthy pitchers. But the wise men failed to reckon with Stalllngs, the brains of Ev ers, the uncanny playing of Rab bit Maranville. or the sensational work of "Hank" Gowdy. Nor did they figure the Boston pitchers, Rudolph and Tyler and James would stand the gaff. Boston took the. opener, 7 to 1, driving Chief Bender from the box while Dick Rudolph checked the A's with five hits. Then Pitcher James blanked the Mack men in a two-hit, 1 to 0 victory The Brave charged again and won the third game, 5 to 4, In twelve innings. After that It was just a t ere formality for Boston to capture the final contest and the series. There was the usual talk of dis sensions In the team, bat nothing came to the surface to verify It. Connie Mack, who had piloted the team tt three world's champion A'S BLANKED 15 YEARS AGO Spring Upsets -By HARDIN BURNLEY- Brftato -tgfrt. nors of North and South Carolina will be present, to punctuate properly the football festivities with their own historic observa tion on the significance of pass ing timei What a chance for Georgia to thrill the South and shock New England by defeating mighty old Yale!

Bat it was not long before things began to happen. In less than two months It was an nounced that Eddie Collins, one of the greatest all-around second basemen, had been sold to the Chicago White Sox, followed shortly after by the news that Jack Batry, another section of the one hundred thousand dollar infield, had been sent to Boston and Pitcher Bob Shawkey to the New York Yankees.

Yes, St. Mary's may slam, as well as slip, something over on California in both power and strategy, Of course, it is rather whimsical to schedule sporting upsets, but Georgia and St. Mary's certainly merit places on such a list. game with injuries, has fortified himself with two full teams of re serves. McEwan refused to divulge the starting lineup but it was believed here that it will be the same as that which took the field against Pacific university here last week.

The backfield combination will include Bob Rob- ins'on, Charles Williams. Dave Ma son and Johnny Kitzmiller. The final workout for the Web foots on Hay ward field here today was characterized by a silent de termination to be the first team In the history of the school to beat the Cardinals. The team and coaches appeared under a gruell ing tension, all working incessant ly for improvement. Double Header Called off Due ToWetWeather PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2. !

THE S COLLETT S EASILY Woman Golf Champ Well on Way to Another Na tional Crown By PAUL R. MICKELSON Associated Press Sports Writer OAKLAND HILLS COUNTRY CLUB. Birmingham. Mich., Oct. 2. (AP) The one and only Glenna Collett nailed another clincher to her fame as America's feminine golfing wonder today by crushing the challenge of Mau reen Orcutt, brilliant star from White Beeches, N. J.. 7 to 5, in the second round of the thirty third national women's champion ship at Oakland Hills. On the trial of her second straight national title and her fourth since she first crowned herself as queen of American golf in 1922, Miss Collett shot surpris ing golf to gain her lop-sided vic tory. She clipped five strokes from par on the rugged course and was stopped with a loss only on the ninth hole by a birdie three off her rival's clubs. Her performance stamped her as the prohibitive favorite to win the 1929 title. While the champion thrilled a gallery of 2,000 by her golf artis try the girl esteemed as her great est threat. Virginia, Van Wle, of Chicago, fell the victim of a stun ning upset and passed out of the championship picture. Mrs. Leo Federman of New York, turned the trick, shooting even par to conquer her 2 and 1. The defeat of Miss Van Wie. 1928 finalist and twin medalist with Helen Hicks of New York this year, was the biggest upset of the tournament. Incidentally, it was Mrs. Federman who stop ped the march of Mrs. Helen B. Stetson, of Philadelphia, 1921 champion on the twenty fourth hole yesterday. All of the remaining favorites came through handily today, but Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd, vet eran from Philadelphia who won the national title, in 1909, 1910 and 1924, turned in the easiest victory of the field. Sailing plac idly over the course in one under par, she overwhelmed Jeannette Hunter of Pittsburgh 9 and 8. Miss Hunter, who upset Alexa Stirling Fraser of Ottawa, Canada, another three times title holder, was far off her game. 0. s. c. T TO CORVALLIS. Ore.. Oct. 2. (AP) Spurred on by shouts of encouragement from a big student body rally, 33 Oregon State foot ball men left for Los Angeles to night to open the conference sea son against the University ot Southern California Saturday. "We're doped not to have a chance against the Trojans, bnt we're out to win and not to hold anybody to a low score," Coach Paul Schissler told the students from the station platform. He also promised the students a team to be proud of before the season is over. The starting line up as indicat ed by Schissler today is the same as that which started against the California Aggies last Saturday excepting that Kerr and Owea will replace Hughes and Sherwood In the backfield.
