Ducks, Bears Matched Even
Saturday’s Tilt Conference
Inaugural for Both Clubs
University of Oregon’s once-vic
torious grid squad, 36 strong,
(boarded a southbound flyer last
night which takes them to the
realm of the University of Califor
nia Golden Bear, where the Bear
and the Duck square off Saturday
afternoon.
In what will be a conference open
er for both California and Oregon,
there is no favorite. Last Saturday
the Oregon Duck was barely able
to squeeze past Alonzo Stagg’s Col
lege of Pacific team, while the Cali
fornia Bear was getting it from a
doubtful Wisconsin Badger 28-7.
Named as travelers last night
by Coach Tex Oliver were: Left
Ends Tony Crisli, Hymio Harris
and Dick Brown; Left Tackles
Chuck Elliott, Howard Frary and
Cliff Giffin.
Left guards to take the trip were
John Kauffman, Ted Meland and
Pete Torchia. Coach Oliver chose
Brad Ecklund, Lou Busch, and
Clark Stokes to hold down the pivot
spot. Right Guards were Bill
Murphy, Tony Novacic, Harry Ed
v. ards and Steve Mezzera. At right
tackle were Don Stanton and Pete
Miller.
Right Ends
Picked as right ends were Wayne
Bartholemy, George Dugan, and
Art Milne. Quarterbacks were Duke
Iversen, Don Shaffer, and Bill
Abbey. To operate from the plung
ing post at full back are Bob Koch,
Bob Oas and Ken Maine.
Right halfbacks going were,
George Bell, Sam Ramey, and Walt
Donovan. All-American Jake
Leicht, Jim Newquist and Bob Rey
nolds will handle the left half posi
tion, backed by George Redden and
Norm Van Broclclin.
According to the Webfoot
coaching staff, the Webfoots are
scheduled to arrive in Berkeley
Friday in time for a workout
prior to the game.
In the final workout last night
the Webfoots put the finishing
touches on their plans designed to
darken the lustre of the Golden
Bear. In the past week the Ducks
have worked long hours in improv
ing defensive blocking and learning
the intricasies of Coach Frank
Wickhorst’s gridders,
I.eielit Qucstionablo
Biggest, question mark of the ball
game will be the condition of Ore
gon’s All-American Jake Leicht,
who is still ailing as a result of a
leg injury received in the College of
Pacific game. Though Leicht's con
dition has been labeled as improved
by Oregon observers, just how long
it will stay improved under the
stress of battle remains to be seen.
Another Oregon weakness may
come to light at the, thus far, hard
hit guard position. At train time
last night left guard Ted Meland’s
eligibility status was still undeter
mined. According to Oregon offi
cials, Meland is still on the doubtful
side, but may be cleared by game
time. The big axe of eligibility did
scratch the name of Bill Hanna
iioin the Oregon roster. Another
bad break at the right guard posi
tion leaves Jim Berwick on the Orc
gou campus with an injured leg.

arrive in Eugene on a Sunday
evening train. There were about
300 students at the station to send
the team off to battle the Bear.
There should bo at feast 3,000
students to welcome them home.

COACH GERALD A. “TEX” OLIVER ... is pictured above with his two ace backfield men who are
expected to play major roles in the California game tomorrow’. Jake Leicht, left, was injured in the COP
game fastfSaturday but boarded the train last night and might be the big gun of the Duck offense. Jimmy
Newquist, right, was recently shifted from left to right halfback, and is sure to be an important cog in the
Oregon offense against the Bears.
Bear Mentor
Juggles Line
Coach Frank Wickhorst of Cali
fornia, dissatisfied with the way his
line performed against the Wiscon
sin Badgers last week, has brought
up six new men from the ranks to
take over possible first string duties
against the University of Oregon
Webfoots tomorrow afternoon.
Only one man was considered by
Wickhorst to have played well
enough last week to warrant being
left in the line. That was Jim Tur
ner, who has handled himself well
at the right tackle slot.
New men being gfoomed for
the positions were: Ends Bill Dif
fenbaugh and Ken Groefsema,
Tackle Kon Sockolov, Guards Bob
Dodds and Rod Franz, and Cen
ter Doug Duncan.
“These players are not definitely
assigned to these positions,” Wick

Six Men Out on a Limb;
Paul Williamson-Phooey!
Not content with professional
football scorecasters, the Emerald

feature for grid fans. Disregarding
the men of prognosticating renown
such as Paul Williamson, Oscar
Fraley, Grantland Rice and Com
pany, are Johnny Kahananui, co
sports editor of the Emerald in
1942; Tommy Wright, sports editor,
of the Emerald last year; Bemie
Hammerbeck, Bill Stratton, and
Wally Hunter.
Leading last week’s session with
the crystal ball is Tommy Wright
with an 8 for 10 average. The re
maining five guessed right on 6 of

horst stated, “but they are the most
likely to start.”
The Bears took a mauling from
Wisconsin last week, as their line
proved too weak to keep out the
driving Badger linemen, and too
slow to clear a path for their own
offense. The change in the Califor
nia team’s lineup is an attempt to
combat these problems for Satur
day’s contest.
Alum Group Organizes
Bay area graduates of the Uni*
versity of Oregon will meet this
noon in Berkeley, California with
Les Anderson, alumni-association
secretary, to form an alumni organ*
ization in that region.
The football coaches will ba
honored tonight at an alumni re*
union at the Claremont hotel in
Berkeley.
