Leicht on Sidelines Saturday - "Will Play First Class Ball* Says Tex Oliver ofWebfoots University of Oregon’s Webfoots, after four days of prepara tion for the Oregon-Montana game, were pronounced ready to "play some first class ball Saturday,” according to Head Coach Tex Oliver. At the conclusion of last night’s scrimmage session the Oregon mentor said, “the team as a whole has shown a lot of improvement. The blocking was sharp, and the team looked very SPORTS STAFF THIS ISSUE Bernie Hammerbeck Bill Stratton Wally Hunter A1 Pietschman Larry Lau Fred Taylor The Doug Fessenden-coached Montana Grizzlies arrive in Eu gene this morning- and are scheduled to work out on Hay ward field this afternoon. goo a. While Coach Oliver was injecting a note of optimism into the Webfoot grid picture last night, he also re vealed the fact that Webfoot All American Jake Leicht would not be ready for the Saturday game. Leicht injured a knee in the season’s open ing game with College of Pacific and his condition has been doubtful since. First definite news of Leicht’s condition came from Oliver when he said, “Leicht won’t be able to play this week.” Oliver did indi cate that Leicht might be used in a pinch, but that even this was unlikely. In last night’s scrimmage the Ducks devoted most of their time to drills designed to sharpen Oregon offensive play. The Webfoots ear lier in the week concentrated on de fensive formations to use against Coach Fessenden’s Grizzlies. Hutchinson Moved Up Second junior varsity ball player to make the big jump from John Warren’s “nuggets” to Oliver’s var sity was halfback Bill Hutchinson. Hutchinson had several “hot” nights while running JV plays against the varsity so Oliver gave the stocky, ex-Eugene high school Star a promotion.

Tom Harmon's famous “98” jersey is preserved by the Michigan stu dents; Red Grange’s “77” adorns the trophy case at the University of Illinois, and Oregon’s “Alley cat’s” jerseys are preserved for the future in McArthur court. A pair of football shoes may rightly be in that showcase some day—the shoes that Jim Newquist wore in the California game. Jim’s pin-point accuracy in splitting the goal post with those shoes was the decisive factor in Oregon’s narrow win over the Bears last week. After the first Oregon touchdown and with the Cal team leading 7-6, New quist coolly booted across the ty ing point. With the score tied at 13-all in the final quarter Newquist again stepped up to try for the ex tra point. The 40,000 football fans fn Berkeley’s Memorial stadium held their breath as the ball was snapped, and the 1400 Oregon rooters roared as Newquist thumped the ball through the goalpost again. His historic kick was not the only factor that made newsprint that day. His sparkling play in the en tire contest drew forth high praise from all who watched him lead the Duck attack. Combined with Bob Koch, Duke Iversen, and Jack Leicht, Newquist fills out the Ore gon backfielri that is one of the smoothest quartets in the coast conference today. Scored in COP Game Newquist was also the only Duck to hit touchdown territory in the COP game. At present he leads Ore gon backs in the point department with 14 tallies chalked up to his credit. Besides the one touchdown in the COP contest, he picked up the tying touchdown with an off tackle slash in the Cal game. His accurate toe contributed the other two points to his total. Jim was the subject of Sports Commentator Sam Haye’s Pig skin Review aired Monday. Sam described the halfback’s glitter ing play in the Cal game and had the point-after-touchdown epi sode re-enacted for the listen ers. Hayes singled out this play as the outstanding one in the week's Pacific Coast conference game. Football has occupied Newquist's athletic program since he played for the Camas high school team. It was while with this ball club that he earned his first recognition as a coming player. During the 1938 sea son with Camas, he copped the title of second highest scorer in the na tion's prep race. Newquist also paced his high school eleven to an undefeated record that year. Frosh Ball in 1940 He was an outstanding halfback with the Duck freshman ball club in 1940 and gained valuable expe rience with the 1941 varsity befo.re his football career was interrupted at Oregon. The Navy claimed Jim when the war came along, and he saw action as a carrier pilot on the USS Ticonderoga and USS Han cock. The Distinguished Flying Cross and two air medals were awarded to him during his duty with the two aircraft carriers in the Pacific. Newquist stands 5-11 and weighs 185 pounds. He is 25 years old and has another year of varsity compe tition left before he graduates. Like all this week’s stars inter viewed, Newquist is also a married man and has an attractive little girl, Leslie Lynn to root for him at the games.
