LOCAL UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS AND FEATURES Whirling Dervish Q-Backs Ducks in 24-7 Opener Win By HAL WOOD Un!tt4 Pru Bporu Writer) Sin Francisco, Sept. 17 ul A whirling-dervish quarterback named Earl Steele put on a ma flcian'a act last night as he com pletely brfuddled the St. Mary's Gaels and led the I'nlversity of Oregon Ducks to a 24-7 victory. The game was the pickup of the intercollegiate season here and was the first night game ever played in Kezar stadium. A crowd estimated at 45,000 watch ed the slaughter. With a powerful, slashing line tearing wide gaps in the undermanned St. Mary's fa vored wall, Stelle put on a masterful exhibition of ball handling as he sent a flock of peedy backs, headed by John ny McKay, Woodley Lewis, George Bell, Bill Fell and Bob Sanders throrough truck-wide holes In the bewildered Gael line. Sharing stardom with the ball packers and the powerful, line was a kicking expert Chet Dan iels, who completed three con versions and then booted a field goal from the 27-yard-line with out even looking up. Coach Jim Aiken's Web foots, with a tricky running attack that features Stelle on a complete spinner before he handed off the ball, struck for the first touchdown after 12 minutes of play. A 65-yard march culminated with Mc Kay romping over the 13 hit ting the goal line standing up. The score went to'14-0 in the econd period after the Ducks got the ball on a Gael fumble. A 35-yard drive ended with Bell ramming through a huge hole from the nine-yard line to the goal. Daniels got his field goal just 20 seconds before the end of the half to give Oregon a 17-0 Intermission advantage. Many of the Oregon drives were hampered by five-yard pen alties plastered on the webfoot !;, ,:-,. u u I fluusmuuviio uiai utiojcu me i game. The Webfoots lost 88 yards this way. I kits -' Scratched By FRED ZIMMERMAN, Copital Journal Sports Editor Big Business Like the historic game of baseball, professional football is rapidly becoming a big business enterprise. A glance through the press guide distributed by the Los Angeles Dons, members of the all-America conference, leaves little doubt that the box office receipts must need be considerable to pay the expenses. Of course the club has an angel in the person of Don Ameche who holds the position of president. Nevertheless a sponsor, no matter how well lined his pockets may be, naturally would prefer that his business venture pays off. Here's The Staff In addition to Ameche, the Dons staff includes: Benjamin F. Lindheiner, chairman of the board; Harry M, Thayer, general manager; James M. Phelan, head coach; Marty Kor dick, line coach; Earl "Dutch" Clark, backfield coach; Jim Austin, end coach; Tony DeLillis, chief player scout; Byron Bird, trainer; Harvey "Chief" West, equipment manager; Ted Bentley, publicity director; Leonard Cummings, assistant; Jack Boyd, Radio-TV publicity; Al Wesson, publicity con sultant; Jack Drees, promotion director; Nye Williams, pub lie relations director; Gil Haynes, traveling secretary; Jack Savage, ticket manager; Charlie Chaplin, advertising direc tor; Mary Duff, Alyce Brooks, Lucyle Strode, Edith Lab Inger, members of the office staff; Herb Wilkins, orchestra director. And of course there are the players 34 of them who don't play for the glory of good old alma mater. Among the latter Is Dick Wilkins, who gained fame at Ore gon as a receiver for Van Brocklin. Long distance trips to New York, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago and Baltimore are not made on the party's collective thumbs either. Ball Park Plans - Shortly after September 22, the Portland Beaver management Is expected to reach a decision as to its proposed ball park on 82nd street. On that date eight construction firms that have ac quired plans for the plant from the architect will submit their bids. The figures the low bidder tacks onto the bid sheet will no doubt determine whether Portland will go ahead with the pro ject. . . . Plans call for a reinforced concrete stadium designed to hold 18,000 persons originally, and a three-story office building designed as a part of the entrance. Ramps will be used instead of stairways and there will be only six columns in the entire struc ture. The drainage system will be copied after the one now used in Multnomah stadium and the scoreboard will be electrically operated. When and if constructed, the new park will be many minutes closer to Salem than the Vaughn Street park, for it will eliminate the necessity of threading through Portland's narrow streets. Another Building Project Of Interest to any number of persons is the announcement by Leo Harris, University of Oregon athletic director, that plans for a new steel and concrete section of the Hayward field Hands have bren drawn. The addition which would re place the wooden stands now in use along the east side of the field, would Increase the seating capacity by 1500 and would bring the total to the 26,500 mark. The old grandstand will be shifted to the north end of the field, replacing the nnsatisfactory horseshoe arrangement there. One needs a periscope for the first few rows there If the spectator Is to get anything at all for his money. With the building of the new addition, 64 per cent of the seats will be on the sidelines. Field Adjustments No adjustments will be necessary in the lights at Waters park In making the change over from baseball to football, reports George Emigh, business manager of the Senators. In fact there Is little to be done except marking the field and setting up the goalposU. Even the pitcher's mound will not Interfere with play since the southern boundary of the gridiron will be north of that highly important physical article. While no doubt many plays will terminate in the skinned portion of the diamond, none will originate since the turtles! area is all inside the 18 yard sideline ton.
