Billy Hnlert Sayi:
Graybeal Destined
for Important Role
in Callison Squad
Bob smith, himself far from a
slouch at packing th mall goalward,
I of the same opinion as this writer
regarding the ball-carrying ability of
dynamic little Jay Qraybeal, on of
Headman Prink Calllson't choicest
football morsels.
Take It from Smith, who should
know, the former Pendleton high
school flash Is going to csusu many
severe headaches among Coast con
ference teams this coming campaign.
In fact, if he runs for the varsity like
he did for Honest John Warren's
frosh outfit last season, you can place
Oregon's Webfoot at least one, two,
three In that tough round-robin slate.
Those are Bmlth's sentiments and we
heartily agree.
"The only thing that'll stop
Uraybeal." quoth Medford's own
contribution to Oregon's Imck
fleld, "is his size. He weighs only
ulioilt 1(10, which is pretty light
fur college f not 1m I. If he can stay
In t icre without getting laid up,
he's going to be plenty hard lo
stop."
Qrnybeal learned hi football at
Pendleton high under Mark Temple,
who In turn received his college ex
perience at U. of O. under Prink Cal
lison. When Oraybeal ended his prep
plgsklnnlng, off he went to Eugene
to carry on for his high school coach.
His first year wearing the Lemon Yel
low and Green, which wa last sea
son, saw him make monkeys out of
all opponents tangling with the Duck
yearlings.
We had the pleasure of witnessing
the Oraybeal maglo In the Frosh -SONS
battle at Grants pass under
the lights, and came away from there
muttorlng to ourselves. If memory
serves correctly, the Pendleton flash
ran to a pair of touchdowns from
mora than Su yards out and hauled
down two of Bob Smith's southpaw
passes for scores, in addition, he tore
oft Innumerabue minor gains of from
10 to 35 yards and was Just a big
pain In the neck In general to the
Ashlanders.
He cracked up both Oregon State
Rook battles with long breakaway gal
lops nnd sprinted something like 90
yards against the University of Wash
ington Babes to win for the Web
foots. All In all, he had quite a sea
son, and to state that Mr. Callison
la banking heavily on him during the
coming senson would be putting It
mildly.
One thing we have noticed,
however. Is the dearth of pub
licity the Gray heal innuliif has
been receiving In 1 he I'orl land
sheet, with the exception of one
minor blast In the ureonlan,
(he sophomore proport has been
getting about as much space as
a water hoy at Alhuny college.
Apparently the wily Callison Is
planning to spring Oni.-beul as
sort nf a surprise on the hov,
ulthough how am body could for
get him after lat season's fresh
man ramnatgn Is hewmd us.
And. while giving Oraybeal this
modest little aendoff. it might be
well to mention that our own Bob
Smith Is considered quite the pump
kins of a pigskin performer up at
the Eugene institution. As a matter
of fact, they are already predicting
that the local lefthander will turn

And, he throws one of the most ac
