Palouse Junket Begins Today
Guard Combo- Berwick,Meland
To Lead Carnivorous Webfoots
By FRED TAYLOR
Ted Meland and Jim Berwick, alternating right guards, were
named co-captains of the Palouse hound Oregon grid team for
the weekend hattle with the Washington State Cougars, at the
conclusion of Thursday's practice session.
Meland fills the guard position on offensive plays, while Ber
wick relieves him on defense.
The Oregon team leaves for Portland today at 2 p.m., where
thev will board a plane for Spokane. Plans call for the team to
spend the night in Spokane, and then travel to Pullman by bus
Saturday morning.
Last workout before the Saturday battle was concluded yes
Torctay with the Webloots concen
trating on adding luster to their
running attack. Fast going on the
Cougar turf may greet the Ducks,
an reports indicate that the field
may be frozen. Snow flurries have
also been reported in the college
town so the Eugene club may be up
against a new element this week.
The gridders worked without
pads in their final session but
Coach Jim Aiken showed plenty
of respect for the often-defeated
Cougars as he warned the Ducks
that the fray would be a rugged
affair.
Oregon will again call upon its
newly-developed power attack
to do a big share of the offen
sive duties, especially if snow
makes the ball-handling diffi
cult. Van Brocklln’s aerial prow
ess lias been virtually unused in
tlie last two games, as a power
ful crew of groundmen have been
flic workhorses.
Alternate sets of ball-carriers
will again see action, witli Jake
Leicht, Jim Newquist, and Bob
Koch operating together; and
t eith DeCourcey, George Bell, and
Bob Sanders in the other set.
The 37 [Slayers named for the
traveling squad are as follows:
Ends—l)aii Gar/.a, Lou Iiobin

Bitter Weather Outside;
Cougars Huddle Inside
Bitter weather drove the Wash
ington State gridders into the field
house again yesterday, as they
completed preparations for the
Oregon Webfoot battle Saturday.
Defensive tactics aimed at stopping
Jake Leicht. were the order of the
day for the Cougars. Washington
State scouts were highly impressed
with Leicht’s ball-packing capabil
ities in Oregon’s last games and re
ported that the Webfoot halfback
is a threat any time he gets the
ball.
With the recovery of Fullback
Bob George, who lias been on the
injury list, the Cougars are in
top physical shape for the game.
George is the only Oregonian on
the Cougar roster. He comes
from Milton-Freewater.
Coach Phil Sorboe is not sure of
his starting eleven but has named
several players that are sure of
considerable action. Frank Bacoka
is a certainty at one end position
and is highly regarded by Sorboe,
Andy Lazor at center is another
two-year letterman that needs no
introduction and is deserving of the
starting nod from Sorboe. Big Boh
Doornink is another sure-fire reg
ular at a tackle slot.
The Cougars can call on a
number of versatile backs to
match tricks with Leicht e.t al.
Billy Lippincott, Dean Eggers,
Gordy Brunswick, Don Paul,
Jerry Williams and Bob George
are all No. 1 backs that can pass,
run and kick with the best of
them. In addition they have the
find of the year in Hal Akins,
who has turned in several spark
ling performances. Akins scored
a pair of TDs in the Portland
game Saturday and set up a
third with a 31-yard punt return.

Frosh Mentor Drills
Wet Weather Unit
By ELWIN PAXSON
With a muddy,slippery field virtually assured for Saturdays
game, Frosh mentor Carl Heldt said yesterday that he would
start the same hefty forward wall that has seen opening action
in the past two encounters, and a “mudhorse backfield.
Heldt disclosed that Big Jim Hanns,former Eugene high star,
has been tentatively shifted to left half for the Portland game,
where his power and speed can be used to best advantage in
running the T-formation plays on the soft, treacherous turf.
Replacing him at the tailback spot will be John Parsons, a 185
wbn will win the nod over Steve Button and Bob
Sutton because of his all-around
defensive and offensive ability.
Rounding out the backfield will
be Earl Stelle, rifle-armed Med
ford ball-handler, at quarterback,
and Dennis Sullivan, whose com
bined drive and speed assures him
a berth at right half.
On the flanks will be Doug
Coghill and Dick Mobley, who
will be the principal targets for

Stelle’s passes. Beside them in
the tackle slots, Bill Marker and
Hank Cedros, who have both
shown steady improvement since
the season began, are slated for
starting duty. Chet Daniels and
Art Harris, a pair of 210 pound

stand-out, Dave Gibson, at cen
ter, round out the first eleven.
Thursday’s workout consisted of
a scrimmage between the second
and third stringers, while the start
ing squad ran through signals and
worked on offensive and defensive
punting maneuvers.
