Webfoot Toughie Ready mmBmrsmmmaKKitmm- mm. mtmimm Already a regular for two years, veteran guard Ted Meland is all set to roll for Jim Aiken this Saturday at Palo Alto. The chunky letterman in fast ami powerful, and packs 212 pounds on his 5 foot 10 inch frame. Meland will play nothing hut offense this year, yielding to Jim Berwick when the opposition has possession of the hall. Ducks to Depart Tonight For Key Cardinal Game Oregon's football-minded Web foots, fresh from a 55-7 vic tor)- over a spirited Santa Harbara college team fast week, will entrain for Palo Alto this evening on the 8:48 Southern Pacific Cascade, after their initial win in the 1948 Pacific Coast Confer ence grid campaign. * «**^*VSI 8KDSSB Jim Aiken will field his flock of Oucks this Saturday in Stan ford stadium against the upset-conscious Stanford university Indians, in the conference opener for both squads. Marchie Schwartz’s red-shirted outfit opened their season with a 20-20 decision over a strong San Jose team, and will he ‘up’ to add a second win to the records. According to scouting reports, the Indians key u,p remarkably high for an important contest, and they will certainly be out to whip a pre scason favorite like the Ducks. Indians Dangerous Oregon’s chief scout and back field coach, Frank Zazula, saw Stanford in their game against San Jose and said that "Stanford is a dangerous team and will do every thing in its power to lick us.” Aiken srent his squad through their final pre-game full scrimmage yesterday afternoon on the lower practice field. It rained just long enough and hard enough to soften up the ground, but the showers ceased in time to permit the YVeb foots to work out under cloudy but dry skies. Offensive I'olisli Added Yesterday’s drill ■followed the pattern of other full-dress practices with attention given to both offense and defense. Linemen were given plenty of work with the blocking sleds, while the backfield men ran through their offensive plays. Quarterback Norm Van Broeklin, who will probably throw numerous passes against Stanford, was given an opportunity to limber up his throwing' arm, and End Dick Wil kins looked good as a reeeivier. Wilkins grabbed several of Van Brocklin’s liard-to-catch spot but tonhook passes without a muff, and will probably start Saturday. McKay May Start Aiken is uncertain of his starting backfield, at least one member of the quartet, since Lefthalf Woodley Lewis may not be used full-time against Stanford. The Duck coach is making sure that Lewis doesn't re-injure his elbow, which was snapped out-of-joint in the Santa Barbara game, and may start John ny McKay at left half. George Bell Palo Alto Squad Has Line Vets Stanford is definitely counting on Oregon’s grid team being over-con fident this Saturday. They played most of the game against San Jose with reserves, the regulars seeing little action until only 20 minutes remained in the game. The regulars came through with four touch downs in those last twenty minutes, and will be keyed up enough to try and carry that spirit over into the Oregon game. In covering the Stanford team, the line will be covered today, with special attention given to the back field tomorrow. The scouting re port of backfield coach Frank Za zula has been used as a basis for these articles. Line Loaded The Stanford line is loaded with veterans at every position except center, and at that spot they picked up three transfers from other schools plus holdovers from the frosh. The line is loaded with both power and speed, and is spearhead ed by Atherton Phleger, 221-pound right tackle who was named on some all-coast teams a year back. Running down through the posi tions, Stanford stacks up like this: right end: top man for this position is Mervin (193), a veteran from last year whose specialty is pass receiving, though he is also a good man on defense. Backing him up are Rose (203), another good pass receiver, and Engberg (170), a speedster who specializes in de fense. Phleger Star Right tackle: Here Phleger is top man, both offensively and de fensively. He has a fine replace ment in Rau (198) who played most of the game against San Jose, and was especially effective on de fense. Right guard: Liljenwall (203) gets the number one call at this spot, and is a good all-around play er. He is the inspirational type, and will probably be keyed up for the Oregon game. Fix (200) plays be hind him on offense and is a good blocker. Getting the second string call on defense will probably be Lu cas (201), who is quick and agile and adept at rushing the passer. Four Centers Center: Getting the call here will probably be Rosekras (199) who is good on offense and a fine tack will be at right half, Bob Sanders at fulback, and Norm Van Broek lin will fill his usual place at offens ive quarterback. At yesterday’s practice, the Duck traveling squad had yet to be selec ted, but Aiken said that he would name the boys who will make the Stanford trip today. The full away from-home squad will be given in tomorrow's Emerald. A send-off rally will be staged tonight at 8:30 at the Southern Pa cific depot, to start the Oregon squad out on the first of four-in-a row game trips. Because of the gas oline shortage, it is doubtful whether many university students will be able to make the Stanford trip, but a few faithfuls will prob ably be in the cheering section.

Behind him are Abraham (208), up from the frosh, primarily an offensive player; Cas tagnoli (213), a good defensive cen ter, but weak on the attack; and Barnes (214) who has speed to go with his size and lacks nothing ex cept experience. Left guard: Two just about even at this spot with McKittrick (197) having a slight edge. He is a steady ball-player, fast, and a demon on defense. On a par with McKittrick is Rohrer (188), who has a terrific charge on defense and the ability to take punishment. Top Tackle Left tackle: The outstanding tackle for either San Jose or Stan ford last Saturday was the top man at this spot, Budge (216). Big, tough and smart, he is a standout on the attack or on defense. White (209), his replacement, is a steady tackle but lacks experience. Left end: a starter last season, Martin (191), will probably get the first call here. He came into the San Jose game with 20 minutes left and starred the rest of the way. He is very fast, a good pass receiver, and a good defensive man. Replac ing Martin is another fast boy, Ghilotti (169) who is also a good receiver and very effective in stop ping plays around his end. Laakso (176) is fairly fast and turns plays to the inside on defense. Swim Meeting Planned Today Everyone who is at all interested in turning out for either freshman or varsity swimming is urged to come to a meeting at the men’s pool this afternoon at 4, according to John Borchardt, new Webfoot swimming coach. The meeting will be called to ac quaint everyone with the policies of the new coach, and to find out how much material is on hand for the coming season. Borchardt is anxious to begin workouts right away, and wants to make sure that all those interested, with or with out previous competitive experi ence, report this afternoon. Tha new mentor has high hopes for the swimming team this year, provided they start working out soon and keep at it. KASH Will Carry Game at Palo’Alto Due to the gasoline shortage, the number of Oregon students going down to see the Stanford game this coming Saturday will probably be lower than in other years. For the benefit of those who will be unable to make the trip to Palo Alto, Eu gene radio station KASH has an nounced that they will carry the game, starting at 2:15 Saturday afternoon. The broadcast is being sponsored by the Tidewater Asso ciated Oil company with Lee Gi roux set to give the play-by-play. KASH, 1600 kyc., will also broad cast another key game in the Pa cific Coast conference, also involv ing an Oregon school. Friday night, starting at 8:15, the contest be tween Oregon State college and the University of Southern California will be aired from the Memorial coliseum in Los Angeles. The doctrine of state’s rights is the handiest excuse yet found for the perpetuation of injustices. e PINSETTERS WANTED EARN SPARE MONEY by setting pins in the evening and your spart time.
