Miller Gets Bumped Around....and Likes It SHEPHERD AND TWO OF HIS FLOCK is the way one might depict the above threesome, and, judging from the looks of things, the shepherd, line tamer Dick Miller (left), is getting a rather ungenttemanly pushing around from Tackle Robert Rob ymmtimmmu inn i min m erts (foreground) and End Wayne Bartholomey, two of his line mainstays. Dick doesn’t seem to mind it, since he figures the hoys might even push themselves all the way to the Arroyo Sec.o in Pasadena. Webfoots Prime for Stanford With the Pacific- Coast confer ence opener against Stanford uni versity's Indians only three days away, Coach Jim Aiken sent his Oregon varsity football squad through an offensive and defensive scrimmage yesterday afternoon on the lower practice field. An interested crowd of students a id townspeople saw the spirited Webfoots run through their plays -in full suit, and many left the field impressed with the good, hard foot ball the Ducks can play. The scrim mage was the usual two and one half hours in length. With the exception of Halfback Woodley Lewis, Aiken had his en tire squad put on pads for the workout. Lewis, slightly injured in -the Santa Barbara game, is taking it easy to prevent any further in jury. Indian Play Dilcussed One of Aiken's thorough black board talks was held earlier in the day, when the entire squad received .a complete briefing on Stanford’s offensive and defensive type of play. This material was compiled by Prank Zazula, baokfield coach and scout. The team will probably run through Stanford’s basic plays lat er on in the week. With Zazula, Dick Miller, line coach, and assistants John Warren and Bob Sullivan, watching every move the boys made, Aiken alter nated the entire team on both of fense and defense. The familiar “over and over ’til it’s right’’ sys tem should pay off in yardage dur ing a regular game. Benny Holcomb, who usually plays safety man when the Web foots are on defense, was working on offensive plays through the line yesterday. Although he’s small and fairly light, Holcomb broke through for several good gains and may be used against the Indians Saturday. Little Tommy Hines, the lightest man on the team at 148, looked good on several wide plays yester day, out-running tacklers regular ly. Because of his size, Hines prob ably won’t be used too much, and only in spot rolls when the time comes. Aiken has several pet plays made to order for a speedster like Hines. The little guy can really scoot, and has also been working hard on his defensive play. Norm Van Brocklin did a. lot of Easy Zarones AND THE MEN OF "E.

Dick Wil kins grabbed a number of Van’s tosses, as did Hines. The squad seemed to be in good physical shape, with no serious in juries to mar the picture. Tackling and blocking was slightly on the soft side, on instructions, and Trainer Tom Hughes stood by for safety purposes. The usual laps were run after the scrimmage. Stanford Keyed Up Aiken and his assistants have made sure that the team will not take Marchie Schwartz’s outfit too lightly. The Stanford squad was given a big lift by last Saturday’s victory over a strong San Jose eleven, and will be keyed up to knock over a favorite like Oregon. Departure time for the Webfoots will be 8:48 Thursday, instead of 7 a.m. as was reported in yester day’s Emerald. The squad will leave Mac court at 7 p.m. and board Southern Pacific’s Cascade at the depot. They are scheduled to ar rive at Old Heart ranch about 1 p.m. Friday. Don’t forget the send-off rally Thursday night.

Zazula is back from a scouting trip at the Stanford San Jose encounter to assume his duties as back field coach. According to Zazula’s notes, Stanford was not impressive during most of the game, but they made a brilliant rally in the last 18 minutes to win the game. “If you can score Rally Send-off A football send-off rally will be held Thursday night at the Southern Pacific depot, it was announced late last night by the Duck rally committee. The Web foot team will leave for their Stanford swing on the 8:48 Cas cade, so students are requested to be at the depot with signs by 8:30, daylight saving time. For further information, living organization representatives are quested to contact Jim Bocchi at the Phi Psi house. Additional in formation will also be given in tomorrow’s Emerald. more points in 18 minutes than the other team can make in 60, you don’t have to worry too much what you look like the other 42 minutes,’’ Zazula said. The Stanford team that Oregon will face has 27 lettermen, includ ing veterans at every position ex cept center. They lost 11 lettermen by graduation, including three reg ulars and the top two centers. The most serious loss was George Quist, capable right half, whose power ful running and line-backing will be seriously missed this year. Other regulars to graduate were Center (Please turn to page five) By AL, PIETSGHMAN Red S’s” bloomed forth all over the campus yesterday and it looks like someone from the So viet is in support of Lil Abner's Schmoos for President. Truth is, we gather, that irate Stanford friends lie awaiting for the Ducks and on their way to Palo Alto got rid of some of the red paint they saved up for their economic classes. Pin-planting and engagements have high-lighted the summer so cial season for sure. And gals, when you start thinking its time for a ring, give the word Carl Greve, Jeweler” in Portland. Last week we received a letter appointing us one of the two cam pus Chesterfeild representatives —we will be giving out free smokes occasionally. ABC you know, but more dope on the smokes later. The rally last Friday night left many auto drivers wondering how many kids could pile into one car. At one time we count ed fourteen or fifteen stacked, squeezed and mangled into, on, and under one car! Students are readying them selves for the trek to Stanford. So far we know of busses, trains, planes, and cars as modes of transportation. Frankly, that is the easy way. If you see us and Harold Sipes on the road, you’ll have guessed right. We’re hitch hiking. None of this easy travel stuff for us!
