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.

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

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

Callison continued to stress pass
