For Prep Coaching Clinic Thursday
COACH JIM AIKEN . . . whose University of Oregon football machine
is putting the finishing touches on demonstration plan:, fo. the first an
nual high school coaches’ clinic. Aiken is also trying to arrange r, warm
up game for his athletes before the Ducks hit the University of Texas
next fall.
By WALLY ADAMS
With five weeks of hard work
under their belts, Oregon football'
hopefuls tapered off with a light
scrimmage session yesterday in
preparation for ::ie Coach’s clinic
this weekend. The usual practice
ended with a lengthy, but light
scrimage.
Aiken announced he was dis
appointed by the passing perform
ance yesterday, after a brilliant
showing last Saturday. However,
he praised the work of the line,
and singled out Halfback Keith
DeCourcey for his outstanding
scrimmage.
Part of the session was devoted
to changing several assignments,
in an experiment to get more pow
er into the backfield running at
tack. Aiken did not state whether
this would be a permanent part of
his system, but it will likely re
main in the test stage until next
fall.
Efforts are being made to se
cure a game prior to the present
University of Texas opener next
fall in Portland.. Aiken doesn’t
want the Ducks to go against
the Longhorns without a game
under his system behind them.
One more serious injury was
added to the list when Guard Don
Rueker went to the sidelines with
a bad leg injury. The other men
hurt during spring practice were
Halfback Bill Behrens, and Full
back Deane Bond.
The Webfoots will run through a
demonstration period for the bene
fit of the visiting high school
coaches Thursday and close their
spring practice Friday with a final
full-length game on Hayward
field.
