    'Aiken Holds Intrasquad Football Fray

Regulars Beat Reserves, 20-12
As Newcomers Perform Well
By FRED TAYLOR
Coach Jim Aiken turned his grid
men loose Friday afternoon in a
full scale intrasquad game, com
plete with uniforms and linesmen,
and the white-clad combination of
the first and third elevens ground
out a 20 to 12 victory over the
Green squad, the second and fourth
teams, on the practice field grid
iron.
Playing irregularly timed quar
ters, the Whites drove to a touch
down early in the first period, reg
istered again late in the second,
and tallied last in the third quarter
for their 20 points. The Green out
fit crossed the goal line in each of
the last two periods for its 12
points.
Sanders Scores
It was booming Bob Sanders,
pile-driving fullback on the White
squad, who started the scoring.
Dick Maudlin, a surprise starter at
right halfback, slashed 15 yards
on the first play, and after one otf?
er running play went awry, San
ders took a pitchout from Norm
Van Brocklin, swept around end,
and charged 45 yards to paydirt.
Burly Steve Dotur, left tackle,
cleared the last defenseman from
the path with a bone-jarring block,
and the North Bend blaster romped
over the goal line, for the first
touchdown. Van Brocklin booted
the extra point, and the score was
7-0.

Greens Threaten
The Greens got fired up at this
point, howeveer, and started a
march that ended only two yards
from the enemy end zone. But af
ter a series of short passes and line
bucks that picked up steady yard
age, the White forward wall stif
fened and stopped the momentum
of the Green machine. Little Joe
Tom, slight Hawaiian quarterback,
pitched a short pass into the right
flat to Fullback Bud Boqua, who
bulled his way down to the 16-yard
line, gaining 18 yards on the play.
The hefty fullback smashed off left
tackle on the next play and drove
to the six.
Then Keith DeCourcey, who ex
hibited fine, snake-hipped running
all afternoon, Johnny McKay, and

the stone wall thrown up by the
Whites, but lost the ball on downs
on the two-yard line, to end the
Green threat until the third period.
Sudden Scoop
The second White touchdown
came like a bolt of lightning to the
Green defense, which was holding
the Whites pretty much in check
on the ground, and had all but sti
fled the highly-touted passing arm
of Van Brocklin. The All-Coast
quarterback tried seven passes at
this point, had connected with only
two, and had three hurls intercept
ed. But, after a series of line plays
brought the Whites down to the
Green 25-yard line, where the ad
vance was halted by the determined
opposition, Van Brocklin faded
back and unleashed a 25-yard aerial
to left end Dan Garza, the second
member of last fall’s successful
Van-to-Dan pass combination, who
snagged the pigskin just as he fell
into the end zone.
Van Brocklin again booted the

extra point, and the score was 14-0
for the Whites at halftime.
Greens Cross
The Green squad finally saw a
scoring threat materialize in the
third quarter after they received
the kick-off, and start moving the
ball up the field in a series of short
passes and end runs. Continually
plugging away, the Greens drove
to the enemy 32-yard line. And on
the next play John McKay darted
through a hole in the center of the
line, twisted over toward the left
sidelines, and then scooting like the
rabbit in the greyhound races,
changed direction again, cut to
wards the center, and scurried
across the goal line. Chet Daniels,
rugged little guard, attempted the
conversion kick, but the try failed.
White Comeback
It wasn’t long before the Whites
were back in the game, however.
Just a few plays after receiving
the kick-off, hard-hitting George
Bell took the ball on a hand-off
from Van Brocklin on his own 32
yard line, raced across the left side
of the line, and threaded a path
through the secondary behind air
tight blocking, to gallop 68 yards
to the last White touchdown. This
time the try for point was unsuc
cessful, and the score stood 20 to 6
for the Whites.
But then a new passing combin
ation was unveiled, and before the
new duo had stopped their antics
the Green team had scored its sec
ond touchdown of the game. The
