Backs Look Good
In Duckling Practice
By §ILL STATION and ACE CALISE
Arise Cornell sent his frosh gridders through their second
workout Wednesday, and a few yearlings began to show po
tentialities. Most of them noticed were backfield men, but
a few linemen showed possibilities.
Ray Reidenrich, all-conference tackle for two years at
Milton-Freewater, pleased the fiery frosh mentor; as did red
headed Tony Klobis, end, and
Bend high school star. Klobis was
.rated tops in his district for the
last two years and appeared nig
ged and able to snag' passes in
practice without much difficulty.
Ralph Barnewolt, end, from
Whittier, California, also showed
great prospects.
Lawrence Speedy
Herb Lawrence, sprinter, was
not in uniform yesterday, but
much is expected from him for
his speed and size. He tops six
feet and weighs in at about 185.
He is trying- for a halfback spot.
Also in the backfield is
Dean Mackay, all-conference
fullback from Klamath Falls.
The chunky fullback weighs
• close to 200 and was known as
a “power house" in the K. Falls
district.
An even bigger fullback, who
shows great possibilities, is Tom
Drougas from Grant high in Port
land. He tilts the scales at 235
pounds and showed all the ap
pearances of a driving back in
Kufferman, Torchia
Out of WSC Game
John Warren’s weary Webfoots went through a long practice
Wednesday and entrained for Pullman early Thursday morning and
their crucial battle with the Washington State Cougars on Saturday.
Twenty-eight Ducks, Coaches Warren and Manny Vezie, Student
Manager Sprague Carter and the team physician made the Inland
Empire trip.
Merritt Kufferman, burly 220-pound junior tackle, didn’t make
the trip as he had to take a West
Point examination on Saturday.
Also staying behind were several
other injured Webfoots and Pete
Torchia, left end, whose eligibil
ity has not been ascertained as
yet. Roy Dyer and Tom Oxman
made the trip, but Warren said
they would only play in case of
emergency.
Nuggpts Scare Ducks
The Nuggets, using the tricky
Cougar plays, made plenty of
yardage against the first and sec
ond varsity elevens, particularly
on the wide sweep plays—and the
end-arounds with Bob Simpson
emulating All-American Cougar
end Nick Suesoff on several long
gaining plays. The short side
W.S.C. plays that break Fullback
Bob Kennedy to the weak side
were fooling the Webfoot line
backer-ups and opening gaping
holes in the forward wall.
Oregon’s offense still looked
sad—to ..say ..the ..least. ..The
blockers were going- after the
safety man and missing the

hockey.
the two nights of practice.
Rushing Good
The boy that has made Anse
smile more than any other, is
Marion Rushing, 165-pound half
back from Long Beach, Califor
nia. He appears to be an excel
lent broken field runner and
throws an accurate, soft pass.
Another halfback, Joe Po
testio from Franklin high in
Portland, shone in the broken
field running; as did Benny
Holcomb, from The Dalles.
Cornell sent one team against
the varsity as dummies for the
Washington State defense. The
backs worked on passing, while
Assistant Coach Ray Segale gave
the potential lineman blocking
and tackling exercises.
backs behind the line. They
were hitting high and sloppily
and their timing was off. John
Warren was discouraged with
the results of the long drill and
said unless they were getting
all the bad football out of their
system—Saturday would be a
Cougar runaway.
The Ducks will stay over in
Portland Thursday night as they
were unable to get sleeper accom
modations on the train. They will
work out Thursday afternoon on
the Multnomah field and leave
for Pullman Friday morning.
They will stay in Cougartown in
stead of neighboring Moscow as
they usually are accustomed to.
