Outlook
Eight Reserves,
Four Transfers,
17 Frosh Help
With 57 varsity candidates
in uniform for spring football
practice, Coach Tex Oliver is
rapidly harnessing a galaxy of
power and speed to plug two
vacancies in the forward wall
and weld an entire new hack
field unit to replace the all
senior quartet of last year.
The spring turnout checked in
19 lettermen, eight varsity re
serves, 17 candidates up from
John Warren's 1940 Duckling
squad, and four junior college
transfers.
The roster of returning men re
vealed lettermen candidates for
every position, and a flock of
speedy backs that even a track
coach would have cause to envy.
Line Strong
Line Coach Vaughn Corley
found his forward wall compara
tively intact despite the loss of
big Jim Stuart, left tackle; Er
ling Jacobson, center, and Dick
Horae, left end. The Ducks are
particularly strong at guard with
Ray Segale, Floyd Rhea, Steve
Bodner, Bob Davis, Morrie Jack
son, and Val Culwell, all return
ing lettermen.
The end spots appeared al
most equally encouraging with
lettermen Louie Butkovich,
Bill Reguer, Tony Crish, and
Hymie Harris returning to vie
for the wing jobs.
Coach Oliver, who has been
working mainly with the backs
during the five workouts thus
far, yesterday welcomed the re
turn of speedster Frank Boyd,
letterman left half, who dropped
out of school during winter term,
and was not expected back for
the spring session. Also enrolled
in school after a term’s absence
are quarterback Roy Ell, tackle
George Van Pelt, tackle, last fall
but shifted to center this spring,
and Yal Culwell, regular left
guard.
Transfers
Jake Leioht, fleet halfback
from Pasadena jaysee, appears to
be the most promising transfer
candidate. The other transfers
are Owen Christianson, rangy
tackle from Lassen jaysee, Tom
Beard, halfback from Moaesto
jaysee, and Leonard Claussen,
halfback up from the University
of California. Ray Marlowe, regu
lar freshman tackle in 1939, and
Vic Collins, halfback on the same
club, are also back on the squad.
Head Mentor Oliver and his
assistants, Manny Vezie, end
coach, and Vaughn Corley, line
coach, are enthusiastic with
the rapid developments of their
charges despite the brief work
outs, but expressed a desire for
more football candidates to
turn out.

Shephard, Dick Stanton, Hymie
Harrie, Tony Crish, Bill Regner,
Bert Gianelli, and John Sauls

Sol pluvius put the he> cn
( cacti Bill Hayward's Webfoot
trackmen yesterday as the luds
were tearing through workout*
tor their 1041 debut in Port
land Saturday against the Uni
versity el Portland. Whipped
up by a brisk wind, rain poured
down in torrents, slopping up
the cinderpath and driving the
Ducks to cover, the second limb
in us many days.
At first glance this year’s
squad appears to be one of the
weakest in recent season1 but be
fore the campaign u unds out
Hayward will undoubtedly shape
it into something.
Only fom lettermen ret run to
the cinder path wars for Ihe
