Oregon Launches
1935 Grid Machine
Willi Optimism
r By GEORGE JONES
The 1935 football season got. lin- <
Her way Saturday at the Univer- f
pity of Oregon, with Head Coach
Piink Callison venturing the opin- t
ion that the Webfoots would turn r
out an aggressive and versatile j
eleven this fall. c
Approximately half a hundred
candidates were in uniform in the 1
two arduous practice sessions, and *
intense competition between squad 1
members for the coming year was t
foreseen as aspirants battled for 1
first string positions.
Most of the uncertainty in the *
grid outlook here centers in the ’
backfield, while the forward wall ■
will be filled mostly by veterans. <
Out of the 15 lettermen reporting t
nine reported for line duty under 1
lane 'Coach Gene Shields, giving 1
him reliable strength at every post 1
except, right tackle and center.
Drill during the morning was '
confined to light drills and calis- i
thenics, during the afternoon, dum- •
my practice. Most of the time dur- <
ing the next two weeks will be I
given over to conditioning and sen- 1
sions in the basic plays of t he Web- 1
foot offensive.
The Webfoots will carry the bat
tle to the opposition this year with
one of the trickiest, and most spec
tacular offensives in University of
Oregon history, the workout indi
cated. East and accurate ball han
dling will bo stressed, but. it is un
likely that the Ducks will use much
other than (might plays against
Gonzaga university September 2S,
at Portland.
Callison and bis backfield aide,
Johnny Kitzmilier, will spend much
of their time in filling the halfback
posts. Today Walt Back, 190
pound triple-threat, stood out as
the most, likely contender for the
left half berth. His power, speed,
and elusiveness make him one of
the best, ball packers on the squad,
while the passing attack of the
team will be centered around his
potent throwing arm.
Two newcomers. Bud Goodin and
Bob Braddoclt, started a battle for
right halfback that will apparently
last through the season. Goodin is
the more versatile of the two, and
barring injuries, should be the reg
ular ihis season. Braddnck, how
ever, is fast and carries plenty of
power.
With two regulars, reliable Drank
Michek ready for Ids greatest sea
son at fullback, and quarterback
Johnny Reisciunan, the backfield
should gain in smoothness as the
season progresses, and with a trio
of triple t(treaters in Hack, Michek,
and Goodin, the offense should not
lack in versatility.
Somewhat less of a problem in
1he line confronts Shields. For all
positions there will be lettermen,)
most of them regulars. The only i
doubtful spot in the horizon is at
center, where Ed Farrar, a letter
man; Chan Berry, reserve; Vein;
Moore, sophomore, a n d Denny
Breiad, transfer, will all battle on
even terms, with Farrar favored to
take over first, string duties.
Flanking center will be two vet
eran guards, Ross Carter and Clar
ence Codding. Carter, an all-const
prospect, will have little competi
tion, hut Codding faces a terrific
ssignment in turning back the bid
f Tony Amato, chunky 203-pound
ophomore.
Del Bjork, giant Astorian, will
ill left tackle after a year's expe
ience as a regular. The 200
iounder from the coast should be
ne of the best in the northwest this
ear. John Engstrom, transfer
rom Si. Mary's, appears to solve
he vacancy at right tackle, al
hough a trifle light. Tn practice
p was one of the toughest linemen
n the field.
Ends appeared well fixed, with
Sudd Jones, Stan Riordan, and
finer Walker all veterans as
timing I lie lead over such new
omers as Ben Holland, Alan Wil
on, Mel Engels, and Be if Jacobsen,
lolland, however, looked good in
irac.tice and may develop into an
ml standing wingman.
Practice will continue, next week
vith two sessions a day scheduled
or the Webfoots. Reports from
tpokane indicate that the Gonzag
tns will turn out a tough aggrega
ion this fall, an outfit that will try
o smash a jinx held over them by
iregon elevens.

Ends Budd Jones, Stan Riordan,

Warren will have little idea, for j

from McArthur court athletic head

of freshman gridders is due to be

Jimmy Nicholson, former Salem

announced his intentions of enter

ors which to his mind overshadow
any fame won as a teacher of track
"greats” or by his magic braces

president of the newly formed Chi

Christenson.
Boyd Wants Men
Sterling Boyd, senior football
manager, announced last week
that he is desirous of meeting j
freshmen and sophomores who are j
nterested in becoming football ■
r.anagers.
There is a great chance of
vorking up in this activity, Boyd
<aid, although the compensations
die first year or so are not so
jreat. If a man works faithfully
it a job as manager, he stands
i good chance in time of becoming
senior manager. This job entitles
a person to accompany the squad
on all trips as well as a major
letter.
Students interested have been
asked to get in touch with Boyd
during the first few weeks of
school by calling 1920 or seeing
officials in McArthur court.
