Dropped from the first division of the coast circuit for the first time last fall, Callisou's 1937 eleven may bounce right back up again should the youthful talent on hand J develop as hoped. A capable group of 17 returning lettermen will find stiff competi tion for their berths from the wholesale addition of the crack 1936 freshman squad, rated as one of the finest in Oregon history. Most of the newcomers will bid for backfield posts, inadequately filled last season. Bull Carriers Young Mark down- for future reference the names of Bob Smith, Paul Howe. Frank Emmons. Jay Gray beal, Bill Kaeh, Ted Gebluird'.. Steve Anderson, Matt Pavalunas, and Dennis Donovan, young ball carriers billed for plenty of action in their first year in varsity suits.

Ronnie Husk and Ceee Wald en. guards; Ellroy Jensen and Russ Inskeep, tackles, and Larry Lance, Hod Speetzen and Victor Reginato, ends. Strong Center Line Running over prospects by post- j tn ins. the VVebfoots appear strong est at center, guards, ends and both halfback spots. The quarter back and fullback berths are cer tain to be stronger than in 1936, leaving the tackle posts, particular ly the left, uncertain. Vernon Moore. 187-pound two year letterman; Denny Brcaid, two year reserve, and Erling Jacobsen, 180-pounder from the freshman ranks, will take care of the center of the line. Captain Tony Amato and either Joe Huston or Nello (iiovanini. all tested veterans, will fill the guard slots, aided by Chan Berry, senior letterman, and Ron Husk. Cece Walden, Arkie Robison, and Melvin Passolt, sophomores. And at Tackle— Three two-year lcttermen, a 1936 reserve, and a sophomore top the list of tackles. The vets are Bill Foskett, agile 198-pound junior due to open at right tackle, and Chuck Braeher and Bill Estes. Cliff -Morris, 315, is the reserve, and the sophomore is Ellroy Jen •'cm. hard-smashing' 190-pound Eu gene lad. George Jones, lluss Ins keep, and Merle Peters are other leading candidates. As contrasted to last year, the ! Webfoots are well supplied with ends, leaving End Coach Dick Ree 1' chief task the selection of starters. John Yerby, Lief Jacob- ; sen and Bud Robertson, all letter winners in 1936, will be back, but , n ust edge out Larry Lance, Victor Reginato and Rod Speetzen, sopho mores, to make the first string. Nilsen to Block To provide more speed and | weight at the important blocking quarterback post, Callison last | spring shifted Henry Nilsen. erst- j while sophomore end, to the hack-! field and the stocky Astorian seems destined to remain behind the line. Arleigh Bentley, versatile J senior who plays anywhere in the backfield, and Dennis Donovan, surprise of the 1936 fresh back field, will back up Nilsen, along with Ernie Robertson, rapidly-im proving 1936 holdover. Callison will draw upon a list of ! ten for his halfback roles. Jimmy 1 Nicholson and Dale Lasselle, lead- 1 mg left halfbacks last year, will have to show plenty to keep out I such sophomore tmds as Ja\ Gray-, Col. Bill, Health Returned, Fishes, Will Train Squad With his “Olympic worries” at least a year in the offing, Bill Hayward, grand old man of the Oregon coaching staff, has spent the summer flecking the Mc Kenzie with fishing lures and is apparently once more in the best of health. Recovered from the illness which handicapped him through most of spring term in his work as head track coach, the “Colo nel” will be on hand once more this fall to train the football squad and to construct his fam ous braces for wrenched and twisted gridders. seal, slippery 160-pound jackrab Dit: Steve Anderson, dashing pass ng stylist; Matt Pavalunas, stocky bosh hoop star who turned out for he first time last spring, and Ted debhardt, triple threat recruit rom junior college ranks. Ambidextrous Smith At right half Callison counts leavily upon hard-running Bob Smith, 180-pound Medford high product, to fill Bob Braddock's shoes. Smith, accurate southpaw massing ace, will be backed by bon Kennedy, hustling junior let .erman; Bill Rach (pronounced ROCK), squad 190-pound sopho nore sprinter, and Connie Grabb, L76, sophomore. Mike Mikulak, Oregon's former ill-American fullback, points to -i iair of husky sophomore line smashers as his initial coaching rontribution. They are Paul Rowe, ugged 190-pounder from Victoria, 3.C., who hits like the proverbial on of bricks, and Frank Emmons, 190-pound ex-prep sprinter from 3eaverton, able to smash the line nit more of a halfback type. Ar eigh Bentley, when not quarter jacking. and Dave Gammon, junior etterman, will share fullback du ies with Rowe and Emmons.

Stanford's Indians will provide the opposition for the Webfoots’ first game on newly-turfed Hay ward field when they invade Eu gene for a “crucial” conference game on October 2. Oregon's opponents and specta tors will meet and see a new type of football this fall, spring practice sessions anil the nature of Head Coach Prinlc Callison's material indicates. Tough Ducks Last year the Ducks gave every | team on the conference slate a j beating on the ground and in the j line. Possessing an almost im pregnable defense, the Callison coached men lack punch near the goal and had little variety to spice 1 a driving attack. Working in spring training with j backfield material many times as strong as that of last fall because of “graduations” from a strong freshman squad, Callison, Gene Shields, Dick Reed, and Mike Mikulak mapped a battle plan which included a deceptive running and aerial attack to go with the traditional Oregon power. Speed, Passing So a Wcbfoot eleven which scor ed only seven points in conference competition (a touchdown and conversion in holding Stanford to j a tie) will be out this year with ! speedy, hard-passing backs to aug- 1 ment an always sturdy line and "shoot the works.” Apparently the ghost of the tra ditional Oregon bugaboo, lack of reserves, has been settled and will t not walk abroad to torture the University’s fans and gridders, for I F’ftfROI I f
