Reserve Linemen Go in Grid Session Backs Start Moving to Score Five Times in Rugged Practice By DICK CRAMER Jim Aiken sent the 1948 version Oregon football team through a rugged workout yesterday, trying to prepare them for the big intersquad game on May 22. The emphasis was on the second string line, giving them some of their first offensive work against the regulars. The big first-string line was rough, and pushed the number two boys around, especially at the beginning of the session. They were very good in rushing on pass plays, though the second eleven improved noticeably toward the end of the Joe Louis, 34, !

The champ has taken up table tennis as a pastime, and reports that his reactions are improving for his fight with Walcott. practice. The most effective man on the field was big Dan Garza, 190 pound end, who was all over the field from his defensive left end position. He stopped most of the plays around his end and was making tackles in the secondary all through the practice Two others who were outstand ing on defense, Steve Dotur and Don Stanton, the top two tackles, were rough and rugged, and stop ped their share of plays. Eddie Chrobot, square-built little guard, was also efective in backing up the line Five Touchdowns The second string was unable to open holes consistantly, but they hit one hot stretch midway in the practice that set the regulars back on their heels, counting five touchdowns in a row. Woody .Lewis took the ball on a quick opening play through center, and moved straight ahead through the backfield. He raced through a five man secondary without wavering course until he was yards past anyone. The next play was practically the same with Jim Aiken Jr. taking the ball, except he cut to the right 10 yards past the line of scrimmage and did a little toe dancing before getting into the clear. George Bell, on the next play, cut over left tackle, stepped up his speed, and outran the sec ondary. The regulars buckled down and held for seven or eight plays more, then the reserves struck again, and again it was Bell with the ball. This time it was a wide sweep around right end and a straight dash to clear the defence. Big Bud Boqua followed this up three plays later with another run past the defense. Boqua 200 RADIO REPAIRS...

There was still another possible score, late in the scrimmage, which could have gone all the way had not Aiken stopped the play. Dar rell Robinson took a Van Brock lin pass over center, eeled past the defense there and was all set for a touchdown dash when Aiken stopped the action. Robinson Catches Passes Robinson was doing an out standing job of pass-receiving, being one of the few receivers that could hang onto the wet, slippery ball. He also showed run ning talent after getting the ball. Van Brocklin was hampered during the practice, not only by the wet ball, but also by the poor condition of the field. Footing was bad, and threw his timing off, the receivers being unable to move as fast as usual. Aiken announced that there would be no practice today, but there would be one Saturday morn ing at 10:00. “It won’t be an intersquad game on Saturday,” he said. “Just a regular scrimmage ” Oregon State Rooks in a scheduled double header. The opener is set for 1:30 o’clock. The two teams met previously this season in a double header at Corvallis, with the Ducklings cop ping 8-6, of three and two. A contest with Washington high of Portland, slated for Saturday has been cancelled due to the Portland prep rules which prol hibit league squads from partic ipating in other than circuit games while the schedule is in effect. Coach Barney Koch limited yes terday’s drills to light throwing practice, as rains of the past two days left the diamond too slippery for use. Graced by sunshine for the early part of the week, how ever, Koch was able to run off sharp infield sessions and long ball hitting with appreciable success. Jim Hanns, who lost to Oregon State his last time out despite twirling a six hitter, Lyle Rogers, and Bill Schoonover are likely choices for first call to the mound. The infield will probably remain unchanged, but there is no definite report on the three outfielders.
