Grid Teams Chosen for Opening Squad Game Here Friday Night “Each Boss to Tell Starting Lineup Today Coach Tex Oliver literally “chose up sides” for his spring football squad yesterday as he : readied his huge 1946 grid team for the intra-squad opener tomor row night; The entire squad was split into two sections—one sec tion receiving green jerseys and the other yellow. With another workout scheduled for this afternoon and several men unable to play Friday night, there may be a few changes, but the bulk of the squad is expected to wear the same jerseys as issued yesterday. An official announcement of the personnel of the two teams with their starting lineups is expected sometime today. It is expected by the sideline followers of the spring workouts that the number one backfield and probably the number one line will start for the green eleven. If this proves true, smooth run ning Jimmy Newquist, veteran of prewar Webfoot grid teams, will start at the tailback or left half position. Teaming up at fullback with Newquist will be Walt Dono van, speedy frosh star who led the PCC in scoring last fall. The other two spots in the green backfield are expected to go to Bill Abbey and Sam Ramey. Abbey is a letterman from the 1945 elev jm^and plays quarterback. Ramey will display his talents from the right half post. Sideline dopesters are less cer tain of their choices for backfield starters on the lemon squad. A good guess, however, may include Bobby Reynolds, slippery hipped runner from last year’s squad at the ball carrying half, with Ray Blatchley, another Webfoot grid der of several years back, at full back. Speedy Aubrey Van Loo may get the call at the right half slot if he is in good shape, with Joe Hall at quarter. Webfoot followers may recognize Oregon grid greats of former years in officiating uniforms Friday night, too.

Fifty-three judges, composed of civic leaders, university lumi naries, and Oregon athletes, are ready to see this year’s relay is smoothly run. With the majority of red tape out of the way, Colonel Bill is anxious to get the meet underway and hopes that the recent spring weather holds, insuring a perfect meet. ter, a former Webfoot lineman and later a professional grid star, will umpire. Other officials will be familiar to local fans as well, with Hank Kuchera, coach at Eugene high, slated for the field judge role, and Ray Hendrickson, former Univer sity high coach, appearing as head linesman. Two former Oregon coaches will also be on the program. Skeets Mangerud, former backfield coach, will serve as timekeeper, and Shy Huntington, coach of Oregon’s Rose Bowl team of the World War I era, will act as announcer.
