Oregon Eleven Faces Tough Slate lOT-M:* ■ i?* r - Fall Drill Beckons Only Small Squad Die way Oregon has pasted games on the schedule, it’s like a, greedy child stuffing himself full of candy. It may be too much of a good thing. Ten games stand on the schedule—only one of these, Idaho, could be classed as a breather. Those ten games will be the toughest hurdles Oregon has attempted in years. It wouldn't be surprising, despite the pre-season buildup, to see the Ducks knock down a few hurdles in the pennant rn/v-*. According to all sources except those arourid Rugene, the Web foot gridmeh. are even money wit).;. Stanford to grab a bid to the Bowl of Roses. Forty-three players—count ’em—will report to Coach Gerald A. Oliver for fall practice. That’s just supposing that the draft doesn't snare some of them (22 are registered). Forty-Three Men A squad of only 43 is hardly the size to bite off ten games and a Rose Bowl invitation, or even place money in the con ference this year. Despite the touted quality of the material, the quantity just isn’t there. Ore gon’s will be one of the smallest squads on the coast. But looking over the list of 20 lettermen, eight reserves, amd 15 transfers and sopho mores, things don’t look too badly. Last year there were only twelve lettermen. Far too few were experienced players. The line will be more ex perienced, the backfield will be more versatile. So Oliver and company have good reason to hope for better than their sec ond division finish of last year. Oregon's lineup from beam to beam reads: Ends—Bill Borcher, Tony Crish, Hymie Harris, Bill Regner, Jim Shephard, and Dick Stanton. Tackles — Dick A s h c o m, Chuck Elliott, Cliff Giffin, Mer ritt Kufferman, Ray Marlow, Ed Moshofsky, Tom Terry, and Pat Wynne. Guards—S t e v e Bodner, Val Culwell, Bob Davi3, Paul For mosa, Morris Jackson, Floyd Rhea. Ray Segale, Henry and Howard Steers, Len Surles, and Don Vernier. Centers—Don O’Neil, Hersli Patton, George Van Pelt, and Elliott Wilson. Quarterbacks Viv Collins. Roy Ell. and Duke Iverson. Full Back s—Jim Newquist, Tom Oxman, and Robert Taylor.
