Stanton to Captain Gridders Saturday By FRED TAYLOR Right tackle Don Stanton, 218 pound junior first-stringer, was named by Coach Jim Aiken to captain the Webfoot grid club Saturday against the University of Washington in the Mutno mah stadium battle. Stanton has been one of the “iron men” in the Oregon line playing nearly 50 minutes of every ball game this season. As one of the strongest memoers or me Duck forward wall last season he was second only to Bob Koch in the number of minutes played. Oregon is going to depend heav ily upon power plays for yardage against the Huskies, it appears, as the weather man promises little hope for a letup in the rain this weekend, a n d, therefore, little hope for a passing attack. Two sets of ball-carriers have been groomed for the past week in prac tice for action against the Seattle crew. Johnson Ready Besides the probable starting backfield of Jim Newquist and Jake Leicht at the half spots and Bob Koch at fullback, a heavier and nearly as fast set of backs is ready to go. DeWayne Johnson, who has mostly seen action on de fensive operations this season, is expected to be at right half a good share of the time Saturday. George Bell, who played a rug ged brand of ball defensively) against UCLA last week, is slated to do some ball-carrying from the left half position. Booming Bob Sanders, the pile-driving fullback from North Bend who smashed across the only Oregon touchdown Saturday is the third member of this power unit. The trio is expected to see considerable action individ ually, as well as a ground-attack unit. The Webfoot mudders went through another sloppy practice Thursday as they worked over the passing and ground plays that are to he used against the Huskies. A light tapering-off drill is sched uled for today, as the team is not going to Portland until tomorrow morning. The 37-man squad, leav ing by train at 8:25 a m., will arrive at Portland at 11:30. From the train station a bus will take the .squad directly to the stadium. A light loosening-up drill will be held before the game. Pass Defense Tight The golddust combination of Norm Van Brocklin and Dan Garza is expected to have a rough time a.gainst the Huskies. Van Brocklin has been having some trouble with his aerials because of the pigskin’s slippery condition, and he will have to toss against the best pass de fense on the coast. Washington has allowed fewer pass completions than any other team in the con ference this season. Art Mill/', a sticky-fingered reserve end, will not lie able to make the Portland juant as ex pected. The slender receiver is back in the infirmary, after a short release after a flu attack. Those making the trip for the 'Washington, game are: ends/ Wayne Bartholemy, Dan Garza, J. V* McGowan, Pete Miller, Darrell Robinson, Lou Robinson, Larry Stoeven, Bob Thomson, Pete Tor chia: tackles, Steve Dotur. Harry Edwards, Sam Garbacz, Bob Ro berts, Dean Sheldon, Don Stanton: guards, Jim Berwick, Ed Chrobot, John Kauffman, Ted Meland, Larry Thompson: centers, Brad Ecklund, Clark Stokes; Backs, Bill Abbey, George Bell, Deane Bond, Keith De Courcey, Ben Holcomb, Arnett Johnson, Wevvayne Johnson, Chuck Johnston, Bob Koch, Jake Leicht, Jim Newquist, Bob Aas, Bob Sand ers, Wally Still,Norm Van Brocklin. Warren Calls First Practice For Monday Top physical condition will he the slogan Monday when the first turnout of varsity basket ball hopefuls takes place. John Warren, newly appointed head mentor, has warned all poten tial hoopsters that in order to survive the tough competition for a team berth they will have to be able to run, and this calls for first-rate condition. Warren has already announced his intention to stick with the fast break style used by former Coach Howard Hobson. The Ducks have long been known as one of the fast est moving teams in the country, and are always big drawing cards on their eastern pre-season inva sion because of the wide-open brand of ball played. The Wehroot eourtmen win again make the eastern tour this fall, as they have in the past, al though the exact schedule isn’t set yet. In the past the Oregon team has usually made two ap pearances in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Competition for a place on the varsity squad will be tough this fall. At least six lettermen are ex pected to turn out Monday, along with a number of sharpsters up from the frosh and junior varsity squads. If more players report for practice than can be handled on the varsity squad a junior varsity team will be formed. It will be coached by Don Kirsch, newly appointed assistant hoop mentor and head baseball coach. Both last year’s frosh and junior varsity maple quints had regular playing schedules, and racked up enviable records. The freshmen hung up 22 straight victories be fore they were knocked off, and the Jayveees dropped only six games in their 30-game season. Injuries Many Moscow, Idaho, Oct. 16 (UP) — Coach Dixie Howell softpedaled to day’s workout of the University of Idaho gridders to avoid further in juries to the team. Quarterback Russ Moffett, guard Grant Potter and tackle Carl Kiilsgaard are al ready doubtful starters in Satur day’s game here with Portljantt University. Hermann von Helmholtz, Ger man scientist, invented the oph thalmoscope in 1851. The device permits experts to inspect the in side of the eyes. To See Action Famiiyman Jim Newquist, who runs hard and is fast on his feet, for his 180 pounds, will figure in Coach Jim Aiken’s power plays against the Washington Huskies in Portland Saturday. This is his final year of football. Ducklings Leave Today For Clash with Huskies By EDWIN PAXSON A 35-man frosh traveling squad, including coaches, trainer, and manager, will board the train at 8:30 this morning for thehir final away-from-home contest of the season against the Washington Babes in Seattle at 2 p.m. Satur day. Only the gridders slated to make the northern trip worked out yes terday. There was no scrimmage on defensive or offensive maneuvers, but Coach Heldt ran his proteges through punting drills and signs practice prior to the all-day jaunt on the “Beaver.” Morrison Out With the exception of Halfback Dick Morrison, who suffered a knee injury last Saturday, the starting line-up for the Pup clash will probably be the same squad that lined up against EOCE at Pen dleton. Doug Coghill and Dick Mobley will get the nod at ends, Bill O’Hara and Bill Marker at tackles, Chet Daniels and Art Harris at guards. Dick Patrick will man the pivot position. In the backfield, rifle-armed Earl Steelle will take the hand-off from center in the T-formation quarter back spot. At left half will be Ha waiian-born Bobby Moore, and Dennis Sullivan will be stationed at right.

Pest Pulls Fast Play' Coach Ralph Welch started to work his University of Washington ‘ Huskies indoors yesterday, but quickly moved them outdoors into " the rain when he learned that rain also is falling in Portland, scene of - this Saturday’s encounter with Oregon. As a muddy contest seems likely, - Welch will probably have a start ing backfield that averages 193 _ pounds. This would put Dick Ot tele at quarterback, Larry Hatch and Sam Robinson at the halves, . and Marshall Dallas at the fullback slot. The Husky forward wall is ex pected to average 203 pounds per man. Gail Bruce and A1 Kean are , likely to start at the wing posts. Arnie Weinmeister and John Pre chek will be at tackles, and Dmitri - Tadich and Alf Hemstad at guards. Gordy Berlin is the probable center.
