    Roseburg, Medford Teams Prepare For Tilt
Local Team
Undergoing
Stiff Drills
Medford Team Lighter
Than Average, Report
States; Game Friday
Both Roseburg and Medford
varsity football teams are un
dergoing final drills In funda
mentals and play at their re
spective practice fields thl week,
In preparation for the opening
gun Friday night at Flnlay field,
signalling the start of 1949 foot
ball play for both clubi.
Coach Cece Sherwood of Rose
burg, with the assistance of line
coach Ray Brown and end coach
Norm West Is hustling the boys
through Intense scrimmage ses
sions, hoping to ellmlnale as
many weak spots In the team's
offensive and defense as possible
before the big night.
Medford Light
The Medford camp, observers
say. will be light this year, as
compared with the 1948 club, and
many of the boys are small In
size. 'Leo Parker, a 220-pound left
tackle, and Jack Morris, a IBS
pound fullback, are reported the
heaviest boys In the team.
Although the Black Tornado
can boast of only Jour return
ing lettermen, observers see a
potential threat In a new crop
of grldders up from last year's
Jayvee squad. Seven, In addition
to the four lettermen, are report
ed to have played either Jayvee
or some varsity ioottau or Dotn,
In past years.
Roseburg boasts of 10 return
inn lettermen. but in many in
stances they are lads who Just
came within letter requirements.
This Is a point to be considered
In weighing Indians' chances for
the coming year, observers note.
Coach Sherwood indicated one
Item strongly In Roseburg s fa
vor Is the high morale of a rela
tively small club. Lacking in
numbers, the Indians win ne
pend upon endurance and lots
of fight spirit this year.

Sophomore Quarterback Will
Direct Washington Husky
Attack This Coming Year
Ry Jack Hewlns
SEATTLE (V)On the should
ers of a confident, competent
sophomore quarterback ride the
football hopes of the Huskies for
1949.
Young Don Ileinrich, tHhbed
two years ago as the nation's
outstanding prosjiect when h e
paced nis nign scnool to an un
official stale title, will get his
first big test this year. The Uni
versity of Washington's head
coach, Howie Odcll must bank on
(he boy from Hremerton there
Isn't any experienced field gen
eral In all his carload of highly
promising backs.
Qrldders Untested
Untested grldders, in fact, will
be on the spot at several posi
tions. Another first-year man,
Don O'Leary, will understudy
Ileinrich. The starting lineup for
tne opener here Sent. 17 again-
at Utah is likely to have Sopho
mores Hugh McElhenny at full
back. Charley Casson at guard
and Fritz 1 1 looks I Apking at end.
ine Washington line has loom
ed as an outsize question mark
In preseason predicting and was
tne major worry oi the coacnes
before the start of practice. As
the opener nears, however, the
line mentors have begun to re
lax Just a hit. They have a first
string forward wall that could
click with the best on the coast
and an alternate line which may
develop equal ability.
Snock Troops New
First-year men will be In the
front rank of the shock troops,
forward and hack. Loran Perrv
at tackle; Bud Olson and Darold
Talley at end; Byron Zutek. Ted
Holzknerht and harl Seydel at
guard these are the. new men
who must supply the needed re
serve power up front.
Reserve backs include Jim Wi
ley, Gene Norton and Kenny
Dunn, all sophs.
There has been no doubt In the
minds of coaches and observers
that Hugh McElhenny, much
heralded transfer from Compton,
Calif., Junior college, will live
up to his advance notices at full
back. He's a Jackrahhlt runner
and loves the rough work.
A couple of Juniors will flank
McElhenny at tne halfback posts
the elusive Roland Kirkby and
hard running Jack Seth. Henry
Tledemann, big and speedy, rates
as McElhenny's chief understudy.
Rugged George Bayer, at
tackle, is one of the few seniors
on Oriell's probable varsity. Vet
eran Bill Burnett is a likely start
er at guard and Junior Mike
Michael is the no. 1 center. Joe
Cloidt appears set for one end
and letterman Chuck Olson may
alternate with Apking at the other
wing.
Bob Smith, Jim O'brlen, Chuck
Coatney and Bayer give the club
four lettermen tacklos the only
spot fully fortifie-i with experience.
