Oregon’s 1941 football lineup? Right here. After a con fib with the Oregon coaching staff, the following list of men are rated according to their ability. Naturally, these men may not enjoy the same status next October after three weeks of fall practice, but these players are listed as of the final day of spring practice. It may be different after Uncle Sam has a crack at them. Center—Elliott Wilson stands out. Wilson has no superior in t>ls<* Pacific coast conference as a line backer. Herseli Patton a»& George Van Pelt are of conference caliber and will see action. Quarter Back—Roy Eli and Duke Iverson. Both are fine blockers and excellent line backers. Ell is a little more consistent and a little more accurate in blocking and tackling, perhaps. Iverson has an evident advantage in some situations because of his power, weight, and height. Either of these with Wilson backing up the line will give Oregon a pair of line backers, the peers or better than those of any other conference school. Vic Collins, after a •ocao-year lapse, has made a good showing that has been handicapped by a shoulder injury. Buzz Baker has looked good at both quarter back and right half. Four Fullbacks Fullback—Jim Newquist, Newquist has a slight edge with lid I Dunlap not far behind, Newquist is quick, Dunlap is Ij.en.vter.' Illness prevented Tom Oxman from taking part in the last two weeks, of spring practice. Until that time there war*, little to choose among the three candidates. Bob Taylor is another serviceable fullback. Left; Halfback—Frank Boyd and Tom Roblin. Roblin ap pears as the best runner and blocker. Boyd's all-around ability—passing, punting, running—places him at the top. i Both men are experienced. Jake Leicht, considering the 1 -short time that he was out, will make a strong bid for No. i 1 spot next fall. He was used sparingly by the coaches, 1 and then he switched to track. Larry Olson, because of his I punting and passing, would have seen action had Edwin 1 I5‘ Atherton not ruled him ineligible. Clyde Lee must be considered. He is a deadly safety tackier and shows ability and courage. It is nearly impossible to get behind him—all the players entertain that ambition. It. is too. both that Inky Boe wasn’t eligible, for he would have been a candidate, but again it’s the Atherton edict that ruled him out. Leading Lzrouna uamer Fight Halfback—Curt Medium. Meeham is far ahead of the other candidates. 11.> wa.s the coast’s leading' ground-gainer Iasi, year lieu Oliplmut made a good showing at this post after sbdtung to it date in spring practice, then he went out for tr.u.k. Rob. in will be Used here some, harry Casper, another ineligible, looked better than was expected. Eight End—Bill Regner. Regner has improved in spring ! practice although he is a senior. Possibilities of all-coast loom depending upon Regner s own initiative to work. 1 Tony Crish and Jim Shephard are very close. Bert Gianelli, I another Atherton ineligible, was on a par with Crish and i Shephard Loft .End—Hymie Harris. Lou Butkevich is wot far behind Hwis. Dick Stanton made much improvement over his pro yi mi.- performances. Bill Boreher, for his short time out after basketball, made an excellent showing. Manny Vezie, new end coach, i.- responsible for much of the improvement shown by t-b.ve end,--. Oae of the Best Tackles Right Tackle—Diek Ashcom. Ashcom was one of the best tickles in the league last season. If anything, he is better i )i *w, Merritt Kufferman is good defensively but needs 1 work on his blocking. Cliff Gif fin is overweight and must > educe Pat Wynne has an edge over Giffin despite not 1 vring played any ball in high school. Left Tackle—Ed Moshofsky, lie’s out in front, although Chuck 111;iott i> next and pressing Moshofsky. Tom Terry, after h. ih’ness, made an excellent showing in his week of play. Ray Marlowe L green, he needs experience. Experienced Guards Right Guard—Val Culwell. Steve Bodner is next follow 1 iog and then comes Bob Davis. These are all lettermen. 1 Tuere isn’t much to choose between them. Len Surles has r.11 owed more improvement during spring practice than any 1 da her man on the field and will see action as will tough, l idle Don Vernier. Loft Guard—Ray Segale. He is nlio\ v - tb value of the experiene L , . .1... v' -a and possibly Surles t ■ i *i I* v‘, •!'!•.ek d. for he started the one senior guard and e in his finished playing, will play here.

Allen entertained members of the senior editing class at his home Wednesday night, in spite of the absence of Pi Kap Chucker Runs Consecutive No-Hit Innings to Thirteen as Fijis Fall# 2-0; Olson Fans Fourteen as Campbell Wins By ART LITCHMAN Harvey McKee, sensational Pi Kap fireball artist, pitched his second consecutive no-hit no-run game yesterday as the Pi Kaps dumped the Fijis, 2 to 0. McKee has now hurled thirteen consecutive innings of hitless ball in his last two starts against the Betas and the Fijis. In the only other game he has pitched this year Kirkwood coop managed to make one earned run. The Pi Kaps scored what proved to be the winning run. in the first inning when Jim Harrison walked and tallied when Paul Formosa banged a long double into center field. Two errors and a single in the sixth enabled the winners to score their other run. Formosa led the Pi Kap batters with two hits. He also drove a hit on top of the Igloo that was foul by inches. McKee struck out tea men, walked three and received perfect support from his team mates. One-Hitter Elmer Olson, Campbell coop strikeout king, pitched a one liit game as the coop pounded out an 8 to 1 victory over Gamma. Olson fanned fourteen as he con tinued to lead the league in strikeouts. He has struck out 32 in two games. Rallies by the coop in the third and fourth innings put the game on ice for Olson. In the third three hits and an error resulted in three runs. Four runs scoring on a six-hit splurge in the fourth ended the coop scoring. Stan Weber, Dick Vannice, and Claire Lindquist banged out two hits apiece to lead the fourteen hit attack on Bob Wilson, Gamma pitcher. Bill “the Goon” Borcher, making his initial start of the season, struck out twelve and allowed only three hits as the DUs nosed out Sigma, 1 to 0. The winning run scored in the first inning when Jim Doern walked, stole second, and tal lied on Bob Wren’s double. Borcher was wild at times and continued to get in the hole by walking the Sigma batters. Mrs. Allen who has gone to visit her daughter, Mrs. Charles M. Gilbert, in Berkeley, California. Approximately 35 members at tended the annual party. tail. lie was injured during' the wrestling season. Henry and Howard Steers are both young—they’re about a year away. Thus we see there are 21 lettermen out for positions on the team. The ends are weak in reserve strength; no experi- , enced men are out for fullback; and right halfback and ' quarterback to some extent are lacking in strong reserve material.
