Wolverine Injury Boosts Duck Chances Tomorrow Headed for their intersectional football game with the Michigan Wolverines on the bill tomorrow at Ann Arbor, Oregon’s squad of de termined Ducks finally took off from Eugene airport at 10:15 yes terday morning. Coach Jim Aiken's Webfoots were ■scheduled to arrive in Dearborn around six last evening, and will workout this afternoon at team headquarters in Dearborn. Early morning fog forced a three hour wait before the 52-passenger United Airlines plane could leave the field. Departure time was orig inally scheduled at 7 a.m. Derricotte Out Injury of Halfback Gene Derri cotte, key man in the Wolverine single-wing and unbalanced T at tack, furthered Oregon’s hopes for an upset, although Michigan’s loss was equaled by the Ducks when Fullback Ken Maine suffered a broken hand in Wednesday's rough scrimmage. Wolverine Coach Benny Ooster baan has a capable substitute for Derricotte in Charles Ortmann, a sophomore. Ducks After Ninth Straight Both teams will be out to add to long winning streaks, Oregon work ing with eight straight victories and Michigan out for number 12. If the game is close at all, reserves Zazula Drills Duckling Backs In Scrimmage Frank Zazula, varsity football coach, took a postman’s holiday yesterday afternoon. Being unable to make the Michigan trip be cause of scouting duties, Zazula helped out with Frosh football practice, attempting to show Duckling backs the finer points of the game. While Bill Bowerman, head frosh coach, took over the linemen for blocking practice, Zazula ran the backs through their plays, pointing out errors in Starting, carrying the call, running style, and handing the ball off from the quarterback slot. Following this, the tentative first stringers worked on offense In dummy scrimmage against the ,scrubs. Special attention was giv en to pass offense and defense. The Ducklings were then sent through a brief scrimmage, high lighted by the running of Emile Holeman and Chuck Missfeldt. Jim Calderwood and Tommy Edwards completed the backfield. Yesterday afternoon’s first string line stacked up thusly: right end, Jerry Leslie; right tackle, Dick Hudson; right guard, Don McCauley; center, John Adams; left guard, Lew Langer, left tac kle, Harold Simmons; left end, Chuck Bafaro. Simmons, who has been a pre season standout at tackle, played his usual effective game, while .Hudson, 220-pound tackle from Long Beach, is showing improve ment daily to give theQfreshman a strong tackle duo. Langer, a back jn high school, has been shifted to guard after starting this season as right half hack. His 205 pounds alleviate a weakness that has been felt at left guard during pre-season practices. The Chow dynasty lasted from the middle of the 11th century un til the end of the fourth century before the time of Christ. Good parents, happy marriages; good children, fine funerals. on both sides will probably get little chance to play. Both coaches are known to stick with one or two units when the going gets rough. The Webfoots are still 7 ta 14 point underdogs on most dope sheets, but will be fighting for an upset all the way. Aiken has used only a few basic plays so far this season, and may come up with real football for his boys tomorrow. Lewis Ready Woodley Lewis has completely recovered from an elbow injury, and will probably be used a great deal at left half, along with Johnny Mc Kay. George Bell and Bob Sanders will be in the starting backfield at right half and fullback, and Norm Van Brocklin will call signals and throw passes from his offensive quarterback position. The team will arrive back in Eu gene Sunday at 7 p.m. Aiken Happy! Dopester Tabs Michigan to Win Football authority Paul William son has chosen Michigan’s power ful Wolverines as the victors in their game with, the University of Oregon this Saturday at Ann Arbor. Williamson, whose predictions ihave been approximately 80 per cent accurate in the many years he has chosen winners, believes that the Wolverines have too much strength and power left from the Big Nine champion team of a year back. Oregon could upset Michigan, since the two teams are closely rated, but smart money says the Wolverines will win. Michigan Coach Benny Ooster baan plans to start the same team that downed Michigan State 13-7 last week, with one exception. Star passer and runner Gene Dericotte, (Please turn to page seven) Bell Ready to Ramble RIGHT HALF GEORGE BELL is set for first line offensive and defensive duty tomorrow, when Jim Aiken’s Ducks meet the Michi gan Wolverines at Ann Arbor.
