The Ducks last emerged vic torious over State in 1940. Three of the seven, Leicht, Koch, and Newquist, better known as the “Three Horsemen of Oregon,” will team with Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin to form the starting of fensive backfield, and have been named' co-captains for the Aggie fray. Jake Leicht, the mainstay of Oregon’s attack, will open at left half today, providing Coach Jim Aiken with a dangerous break away runner and number one scoring threat. Jake shines on long end runs and optional pass-run plays, and is also used through the middle on quick-opening plays. He is a top-notch pass receiver and ( handles conversion assignments. This will be Leicht’s third OSC game. An All-American for Oregon in 1945, Leicht was handicapped by injuries in the ’40 season, re turning this year to play the best football of his career. His home is in Stockton, California. Jim Newquist will share the halfback posts with Leicht today. The hard-running scat-back from Camas, Washington, will operate from the right half position, carry ing his share of the Lemon and Green offensive load. He came to Oregon in 1940, playing varsity ball in 1941. He returned last year after three and a half years in the Navy, to handle most of the !

Newquist is fast on his feet, and has been a big cog in the Duck power attack. This will be his third year against the Beavers. Fullback Bob Koch is the third of the “Three Horsemen” to see his last action in a Duck jersey today. He was a starter in 1941, and played 425 minutes out of a possible 500 last year. Koch is a powerhouse on straight run ning plays through the middle, and is also used as a receiver of flat passes. John Kauffman, a two-year let terman, should get in his whacks today at a defensive guard posi tion. Kauffman performed for the varsity in 1945 find ’46, playing 225 minutes last year. He is a tough customer to move out and will be playing his third contest against State. He comes from Long Beach, California. Pete 'Lireilia, a rugged two year letterman at right end, bat tled OSC as a varsity player on the 1942 and ’46 Oregon squads. One of a trio of ends finishing collegiate careers against OSC today, Torchia will be used main ly on defense. He is from Johns town, Pennsylvania. Wayne Bartholemy is slated to open for the Webfoots at right end against Oregon State, marking the second time he has played against the Beavers. A 193 minute vet from last year, Bartholemy has been turning in some fine defensive performances in the last few games. His home is in Portland, where he played prep ball for Jef-j ferson high. The third end singing his swan song this year is Larry Stoeven, a holdover from 1946. Stoeven has developed into a dangerous offensive threat, and may be on the receiving end of Van Brock lin aerials today. Stoeven, who hails from San Mateo, Califor nia, will be seeing his first action against the Aggies. Big Crowd Awaits Tilt Los Angeles, Nov. 21—(UPl—.
