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.

throwing' in the practice, with his
receivers showing better than they
did agianst the Gauchos. 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.

Take it from Frank Zazula that
the Stanford Indians will provide
plenty of rough opposition for Ore
gon’s Ducks this Saturday at Stan
ford stadium. 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.

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
