October i Thor Jensen Gets Crack At Otis man THE REGISTER-GUARD,' EUGENE, 'OREGON." Cling TonU HIGHCLIMBER Br DICK STR1TE t. Jo Gordon, the University of Oregon's gift to the New York Yankees (we hope), tells me that Bill Reinhart has a line ball club at George Washington university. The Colonials have won their first three games of the season under .wraps, but next Saturday is the big game in Weshlngton, D. C.-Ala- bama. Joe was a guest for a few days with his former coach (Billy was head basketball and baseball men tor here for 12 years) and the for mer Salem high school boy told his oupil the Colonlans were young, but a hard fighting ball club a team that may cut a fancy national figure in a year or two. Bill is actually the head coach, but James Pixley owns the title, according to Joe. The University of Oregon will have intercollegiate box ing and wrestling teams one of these fine days. First steps toward this end were taken this week when a group of Webfoot students formed what will be known as the Univer sity of Oregon Mitt and Mat club. The lads have the sup port of the school of physical education, but not the finan cial backing of the athletic department. As soon as the sport la established however, no doubt It will be added to the regular competitive program. The Mitt and Mat club la made up of some 75 students who are not only Interested in boxing and wrestling, but have had much practical exper iences many of them holding prep league and amateur titles at one time or another. Inter-school matches will be sought from minor colleges In the northwest, but the boys are pointing toward a possible team engagement with Oregon State college. e Now Is the time for some good . eitizen, one with foresight and a level head on his shoulders, to come to the help of a high school .without a football field. And a high school without a football field in this day and age Is even worse than a corn beef without cabbage. Eugene high school, perennial state championship'contenders on the gridiron, are unable to play before a home-town crowd, and without local games here is no money rolling Into the coffers for uniforms, etc. The Axemen olfi elals and students are willing to work toward this end, but they aon t seem to know from which end to start And so, we need someone to lead these children by the hand and teach them how to secure a field. The first requisite is money in the sock, the second is to find the proper location, the third is to build. Wlsperlng b 1 r d I e s In the trees tell that the fair board has aome sort of a proposition to make to the high school to provide the field for a cer tain amount or the stuff that's used to buy butter and eggs. The board claims the fair grounds can be made Into a recreational eenter for the city aa well as the county with a little co-operation from both. , Tentative plans would be to construct a football field and baseball diamond In the Infield of the track. The stands are quite adequate to accommo date as many fans any high school game will attract. In fact, so say the birds, the fair board would consider building additional stands and develop ing some of the 40 acres of un developed land for a gridiron should the present location prove unsuitable. Under the arrangement with the fair board, the school would sign a contract to play all of Its home games at the fairgrounds and pay SO per cent of the net. above a minimum expense of 650 per game. The fslr board would keep the field In repair and possibly Install lights and turf the field should the In come warrant the expendi ture. , But It still doesn't sound good, for some reason or other.

He held Sailor Moran, when the Louisl anan was coast tltleholder. to draw and recently battled Cling- iimu un even terms. 'Jensen is confident of victory. 'I'm in the best condition of career. I want that belt like I've never wanted anything before in my life. That's the reason I ask ed for an extra 10-day training period," Jensen said Thursday morning. Clitigman had little to say. 'Age in professional wrestling is more of an advantage than a hlnderance and I'm sure Jensen will be a worthy opponent. How ever, I know I'm the better wrestler and am stronger. I'D beat him," Otis said. Local betting commissioners report little wagering and money that is being offered is 4-to-B take your pick.

(U.Ri With the football season not yet at the halfway mark it may seem strange to you that I already have started to pick myall-America temri. I have selected my right guard and nothing that happens during the remainder of the football season can possibly make me change my mind. He may lose every game for his team, he may be dropped to the third squad, or he may even decide not to play any more football, nevertheless he is the right guard on my 1937 all-America team.

I'll admit this is peculiar be havior on my part. But when I give you my reasons I feel certain that you will agree that I am do ing the right thing. Below, listed in near order, is my explanation: 1. My right guard's name Is Morris McLemore. He is on the Vanderbilt university squad and let him deny it if he will he is my first cousin. On Parchesl Team 2. He is the first McLemore and I can trace our lineage clear back to the Herbert Hoover ad ministration who ever was in a The first, and probably only scrimmage of the week was held in the University of Oregon football camp Wednesday evening behind guarded gates of Hayward field. Although not classed as a secret practice, those who passed through the south gates were closely scrutinized. The probable starting lineup for Saturday's "big game" here against Oregon State appeared more of a problem than before any game this season. It seemed unlikely that the touchdown twins Bob Smith and Jay Graybeal, star members of the "Slingin" Smashin' Sophs" would be in the starting backfield combination. Graybeal, still favor ing a "knocked down" shoulder, and Smith, limping with a slightly sprained ankle, did not take part in the scrimmage session which lasted long after the flood lights were turned on. The most likeiy quartet appear ed to be Paul Rowe at fullback, Arleigh Bentley at the blocking quarterback post, and Dale Lasselle and Steve Anderson at right and left halfback positions, respective ly. Bill Rach, hard-driving back' field man who has recently recov ered from a sprained ankle sus tained before the U. C. L. A. game. showed fair form in the Wednes day scrimmage, driving through the line for long gams. He may re place Rowe who sustained a pulled leg muscle in the Trojan battle. Robertsen Hurt Blocking quarterback post pre sents Head Man Prink Callison with a problem when Ernie Rob ertson, reserve, suffered a badly gashed eye during the stiff drill, leaving him only Bentley and Hank Nilsen. Dennis Donovan, second choice quarter, was still on the sidelines Wednesday and ts an un likely player against the Beavers. Callison continued to stress pass offense and defense in the long scrimmage with Anderson and Jim Nicholson pitching the pikskin on a dime. Anderson and Lasselle both broke away for long runs. Passing plays were smothered sev eral times when Ron Husk, reserve guard, broke through to down the heaver, Denny Breaid, center and doubt ful player early this week, appear- Oregon To Enter Cross Country Feam In Meet The University of Oregon is ex pected to enter a team in the seventh annual Hill Military cross country championship race.

(Special) Big Elmer Kolberg, : two-year letterman who is generally con sidered the best defensive fullback on the Pacific coast, has been chosen to captain the Oregon State football team against the Univer sity of Oregon at Eugene, Saturday afternoon. Lon Stiner, Beaver coach, also announced the Oregon State start ing lineup as follows: Don Coons, left end; Frank Nihil, left tackle; Frank Ramsey, left guard; Jim Orr, ! center; Prejcott Hutchins, ' right guard; John Watts, right tackle; Joe Wendlick, right end; Bill Dun can, quarterback; Joe Gray, left half; Jay Mercer, right half, and Captain Kolberg, fullback! Only change in the Orange start ing lineup is at right tackle where Watts takes the place of Leon Sterling who was injured last Saturday. Only other .man . who may not see action due to injury is Warren Gillis, ' second-string left tackle. Among the Orange second stringers who are almost certain to perform against the Webfoots are Dick Sutherland, end; Eberle Schultz, guard and center; John Hackenbruck, tackle; John Eilers, Bob Mountain, Hal Higgins and John Alexander, halfbacks, and Ben Ell, fullback. ' ' , Ahe Oregon Stale squad, accom panied by almost the entire Ore gon State student body and its band will arrive in Eugene, by special train, at noon. Saturday.
