THE REGISTER. GUARD, EUGENE,- OREGON ' Pace Six H I6H CLIMBER By DICK STRITE Tsk, tsk! Th idea. Mr. Nelson, of com' paring University of Oregon athle tes with WfA worKers: in rase vou can't read, Stub Nelson, former big-time California sports writer and weekly sports contributor to the Orcgonian's Sunday magazine section, waved his magic wand over blank news tirint nnrl revealed football and other major sports at the Univer itv nf Oreeon as big business. The casual reader and the fel- inw u.hn follows his sports in o point type and over the radio will nrobablv wonder why Nelson fail ed to mention other Pacific Coast rnnference schools along with tne Webfoots. Could it be that other schools would not give him the in formation that Oregon was un afraid nf? Maybe the school that paid an athlete $1,500 in casn 10 register, the other that housed a javelin tosscr and gridder at the Biltmore for some time, and still the other that offered to double anything Oreeon offered, didn't want their mpthnri of subsidizing to be known The fact that Oregon spends of notatoes every school vear for athletes' tuition, room and hoard, is shocking to none. Hard ly half as shocking as would the total of the institution that pays as high as $150 pen month for a good halfback. Bob Park, the blonde lad you aee walking the street with skin one shade lighter than Smokey Whitfield's, . came up north from southern California and calls us a bunch of sissies because we don't know how to fish for tuna the right way. The southern brand of al barore averages around 25 pounds as compared to the northern 12-pounders. In spite of the double weight, the Call fornlans use six-ounce red and six-strand (18 pound test) line. Compare this to our telephone poles and 35 to 80 pound test lines. Colonel BUI Hayward Is going to have Bob send for typical California tuna tackle and the two of them will have a go at Ore gon's albacore.

IA) The underdogs held the up per hands today after initial games in the Pacific coast base ball league Shaughnessy playoffs for $10,000 in prize money. - The Sacramento Senators, who wound up in third place in the league standings at the end of the scheduled season, were outhit 10 to 14 by the Los Angeles An gels, league pennant winners, but won the game, 10 to 6, by piling up an early lead. San Francisco s Seals, who got into the playoffs by two per centage points, nicked the Se attle Suds pitching sensation, the juvenile Freddie Hutchinson, for nine hits to win, 4 to 2. Two Sacramento home runs helped the Senators win. The Senators pushed over four runs in the fourth, one in the sixth, three more in the eighth and one in the ninth.- The Angels rallied in the last of the ninth to put over five runs on as many hits, but the Senators cut the uprising short. Lou Koupal outpitched Hutch- nscn, but old Paid Ballou, the Seals' relief pitcher who has pulled more than a score of games out of the fire for them this season, was called upon in the eighth to put down a Seattle rally in the eighth when Koupal lost control. A two-bagger by Frankie Hawkins which sent two runners home, gave San Francisco its margin of victory in the sixth inning. Springfield Millers Have Veteran First Team; Talented Backf ield May Make Grade Oregon Field Trial Set At Harrisburg The fifth annual trial of the Oregon Field Trial association will be held on the association grounds cast of Harrisburg on Saturday and Sunday, September 24 and 25. These trials are held for the purpose of aiding in the development of high class bird dogs, pointers and setters. Dr. C. F. Millcson, secretary, announces that entries have been received from California, Idaho and Washington in addition to Oregon dogs that will be entered. The derby stake will be run Sat urday morning to be followed by puppies and the shooting dog stake. The open all-age stake will be run on Sunday. The Harrisburg grounds provide ample room for the running of the stakes and there arc plenty of birds on the courses. A. E. Naslund and H. B. Romnine of Portland will Judge the puppy stake. A. E. Haslund of Portlnnd and Dr. Hill of Lebanon will judge the derby stake and Dr. Hill of Lebanon and Earl Fisk of Portland the shooting dog stake. The open all-age stake which is open to any bird dog is for a guaranteed purse of $150 and will be Judged by H. B. Romaine and Jake Garrison, both of whom are experienced field trial judges. This is the main event of the moot. Headquarters for the meet will be at Ihe Harrisburg hotel. Dr. W. B. Hare of Portland is presi dent of the association. SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 21 (Spe cial) Coach Eldon Fix, starting his second year as head man erf the Springfield Millers, will have an extra week of work under his belt before joining his brother coaches in the 1938 grid opening. And according to all reports, the Millers will be needing that ex tra week of practice. Fix lost two valuable players through graduation, men who were the backbone of both his de fensive and offensive work Ar nold Acheson, 200-pound plus tackle, and Pete Taylor, triple threat halfback. But that isn't all Fix has to contend with he lost six other lettermen of con siderable value. The Miller coach, however. hopes to whip a team Into shape which will hold its own with "B" class opponents of the Greater Willamette Valley league. He can field a veteran club with the ex ception of one tackle position a team that averages 160 pounds, 158 in the line from end to end and 163 in the backfield. The potential starting lineup is Gray and Ray, ends; Jordon and Goddard, tackles; C. Meats and E. Harwood, guards; Pollard, cen ter; W. McPherson, quarterback; Privat and L. Mcpherson, half backs, and McCornack, fullback. The entire squad of 31 men, on the other hand, averages a mere 147 pounds 19 linemen at 148 and 12 backs at 146. Nearly all of the reserves are inexperienced. Webb McPherson, a tough 140 pound red-haired lad who can pass, punt and run the ball, and and Dan McCornack, 196 pounds of fullbacking dynamite, are the two key men of Fix' starting backfield. Dave Privat, a versa tile halfback who was out of school last year, and LaVerne McPherson, a two-year veteran who was also out of school in 1937, present a formidable pair of backs. Jerry Purdue, a Texas transfer who can pass and run, is a strong alternate for McCor nack, and Harry Hughes, a trans fer from Junction City, is another alternate quarterback. Fix will no doubt have acute line trouble unless some of the newcomers develop into veterans before mid-season. Besides a de cided weakness at the tackles, the veteran guards are only one deep and the ends are light and squat, averaging about 5 feet, 8 inches. Springfield's system has been designed to fit the material with a balanced line and a combina tion of a semi-short punt and ff $7x - ' I rW ' '''-V S" " Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire engraving.

The invaders opened their 1938 season last Friday with a smash ing 29-6 victory over the Griz zlies, coached by Stan Riordan.

Officials for the tilt will be Ref eree Lee Weber of Junction City, Umpire Herb Colwell of the Uni versity, and Head Linesman Al Dielz of Eugene. Del Kunkle Beaten In Wrestling Tourney PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 21. (U.R) George Godfrey, negro grappler and former contender for the world's heavyweight box ing championship, s-cored a vic tory over Purple Shadow in a wrestling tourney last night. Chief Thunderbird of Vancou ver, B. C, eliminated Heinle Ol son, and Chief Little Wolf scored a win over Del Kunkle. Offensive prowess isn't the only thing in football, and so Tuesday Coach Tex Oliver turned his at tention to the defensive side of the University of Oregon's pre parations for Saturday's Pacific coast conference opener against Washington State at Pullman, Coach Oliver took the Webfoots into Hayward field and bolted the gates, to keep out prying eyes, and then gave a crew of third, fourth ind fifth stringers the ball. In a session which lasted almost three hours the first and second strin ger!, worked on defense. The "scrubs" were using the kind of plays Washington State is expected to employ and had fair success with them. Oliver inti mated after the drill that work to day and tomorrow would again stress defense. There was no morning practice Tuesday and there will be no more this fall, the Webfoot coach an nounced. Grandstand coaches were locked out of the stadium and the prac tice, but they continued to pre dict a "regular" Oregon lineup containing at least nine lettermen. Although Oliver made no fur ther comment on what his first string may be, grid "bugs" feel certain that the starting lineup Saturday will include, among others, John Yorby and Vic Rcgin ato at ends; Elroy Jensen at right tackle; Jim Cadenasso nt center; Hank Nilscn at quarterback, and Frank Emmons at fullback. Mel Passolt and Ccce Walden are still even-stephen at right guard, and Bill Foskett, Merle Peters and Russ Inskeep are al most on a par at left tackle. Both Jim Nicholson and Jay Graybeal are sure-fire at left half, with Ted Gebhardt and Bob Smith certain to see action at right half. WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Pullman, Sept. 21. As the Cougars take to the gridiron this fall, forward passing is figured to be one of Babe Hollingbcry's sharpest weapons. Old talent com bined with new will provide speed and power in the backfield and with those forces a strong passing game will be set up. It is pointed out by experts that to make an aerial attack click, it is necessary to pave the way with effective ground work. Speed bursts and line thrusts properly executed place a team in position to shoot through the sky. Hollingbery usually has a potent air offensive as shown by the fact that more than half of the Wash ington State touchdowns have come by passes in the last three years. The promise of a strong running attack this fall gives like promise of a profitable passing game. From last year's team three ex pert riflemen are available in Ed die Bayne, Paul Callow and Dick Emerson. They all play the key left halfback position and all are excellent triple-threaters. From the sophomore ranks other likely bombers are expected to develop. For receivers Hollingbery has such veterans as John Klumb and Fred Brown, ends; and Chub Holmes and Cecil Welchko, backs. Dale Gentry, the classy soph end from Walla Walla, is a crack pigskin catcher. Summer Grid Camps May Be Investigated STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Sept. 21.
