Spectator Football
If the average, run of the mill,
worth this season from football, he must be hard to please. The
high scores, somewhat loose defense, long runs and the like are
just what the Mr. John Q. Public likes and the 32,000 around
the Multnomah stadium gridiron for the Oregon-Washington
mix certainly got an eye full of present day football. There,
it was pretty much a question of who had possession when time
expired. Washington happened to be the lucky one, nursing
the ball through the final two minutes. It was this same time
consuming tactics that put the Huskies in a hole and resulted
in Oregon's third touchdown of the afternoon. Deep in their
own side, Washington determined to keep the ball until time ex
pired if possible. A fumble gave the Webfoots their chance
and they immediately cashed in.
Excellent Running
No doubt about it, Woodley Lewis is one of the best punt
returners to grace the Oregon squad in many years. He's
always dangerous and against Washington came within a
hair of going all of the way as he had against other Coast
conference clubs. The practice of laying the ball flat on
the ground with the long axis parallel to the goal line on
kickoffs is a maneuver calculated to discourage long re
turns. This type of kickoff isn't as spectacular as the
regulation boot but its possibilities are considerable. Not
the least of which is the chance for a fumble on the part of
the receiving side and a recovery by the other. It was a
tough one for the Webfoots to lose, especially when they
turned in such a bang-up exhibition of offensive play.
Evidently Coach Jim Aiken can't get last year's unlimited
substitution rule out of his system. Twice during the en
gagement with the Huskies he sent in a man too late and
was hacked five yards each time. One of the penalties
was particularly painful, coming at a time when a place
kick appeared in the making. Such a kick, if successful,
would have won the game.
Huskies Appeared Up
Perhaps Coach Chester Stackhouse and his Willamette Bear
cats can get a bit of consolation out of Washington's perform
ance against Oregon. The Huskies had not been able to fashion
a win since they beat Utah in the first encounter of the season.
Willamette has been kicked around ever since their one touch
down win over Chico State. They will have an opportunity
next Friday night when they meet Whitman on Sweetland field.
The Missionaries have won two this season, duplicating Wil
lamette's record in this respect. They nosed a rather impotent
University of British Columbia squad 6 to 0 and then beat
North Idaho 14 to 7. They revived to give Pacific a real scare,
holding the Badgers to a 33 to 27 win, and then lost to Lewis and
Clark 32 to 7, to Linfield, 19 to 0 and to College of Idaho, 31 to 19.
Dillin Makes Good
Dr. Harry Dillin, president of Linfield college, made the
atatement that he would stand on his head in the middle
of the gridiron :f and when the Wildcats beat Willamette at
football. He made good on his promise last Saturday night
after the Bearcats had been handed a 20 to 0 whitewashing.
His head stand wasn't perfect but the stunt got a tremendous
hand from the estimated 3500 fans In attendance. But
then the Linfield prexy hadn't had much practice.
That Tri City Franchise
The Tri City baseball club of the WL will have I ball park
second to none in the circuit, promises Dick Richards, business
manager. Progress on the new plant is according to schedule
with the fence up and the field seeded. Construction on the
stands and bleachers will start in the near future. Seats will
be provided for S500 spectators in the grandstand and 1S00
more In the bleachers. Then, if necessary, temporary bleachers
can be erected in back of left field for another 1000, making
total capacity of 8000. The park is being erected outside of
Richland, for the benefit of fans of that community as well as
Pasco and Kennewick. Richards estimates the population of the
area will be close to 12S.000 next year. The club will engage

Poppy's Big Worry: How to
Bottle Up Ducks Saturday
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco, Nov. 8 (U.R)
Coach Lynn Waldorf of the un

California Bears, today predict
ed that the Important game with
University of Oregon on Satur
day would be the toughest of
the season "to date" for his club.
"I've worried more over stop
ping Oregon than any other
club," Waldorf said. "And just
how we are going to do it, I
don't know.
"That Oregon team has scor
ed at least three or four
touchdowns in every one of
their games this season in
cludin all the ones they lost.
That makes for quite an offen
sive and it certainly will pre
sent a problem to stop."
Waldorf also feared that the
Webfoots would be exception-
ally "high" for the game due to
the fact that California refused
to meet Oregon in a Pacific coast
conference championship play
off last year.
"I understand they usually
have only 300 rooters coming
down to Berkeley for the
game," he said, "but they tell
me that there will be 3,500
