Oregon Intramural Football
TurnsOutVarsity-CaliberPlayers
Oregon students who saw Mm
turn hall's touch football team in
action last year, will remember
they were paced by Hawiian-born
loe Tom, a little fellow who was
a deadly passer and swift runner.
Tom proved he could hit his re
ceivers consistently in intramural
•ball, so he decided to see how he
stacked up against the “big boys”
of the varsity squad. He turned out
for spring' football practice, and
had improved so by this fall that
he was spotted behind Oregon's
>11-American quarterback candi
date, Norm Van Brocklin.
But Tom isn’t the only boy who
played intramural touch ball at
Oregon and then went on to play
college football.
Back in 1943, when there was no
varsity grid team, there was a lit
tle guy who was outstanding in
intramural football with his run
ning and passing. His team didn’t
win the championship, but he was
chosen as the player of the year.
The little guy who had played
intramural football at Oregon was
named Spike Cordiero. Spike play
ed right half on the St. Mary’s
team, though he weighed only 155
pounds.
He teamed with the great Her
man Wedemeyer to lead the Gal
loping Gaels into the Sugar Bowl.
wnere tne two naituacKs spamea
a losing team.
Cordiero wasn’t able to stay with
Wedemeyer all through school ,a
term in Service interrupting his
collegiate grid career. He will re
turn to his old intramural stamp
ing grounds October 30, when the
Gaels meet the University of Ore
gon on Hayward field.
Ducklings Rehearse
For UW Pup Game
Game uniforms were the order
of the day for Bill Bowerman’s
Frosh gridders yesterday, as the
head Duckling mentor put on a
full-dress rehearsal of next Satur
day’s game with the Washington
Pups in Portland's Multnomah sta
dium.
Several new plays were intro
duced in yesterday’s workout,
among them a quick-opening quar
terback sneak, which is seldom
seen in Aiken-style football.
Tommy Edwards continued to
shine at the left half spot, taking
flat passes from the flanker posi
tion and scooting down the field
toward a mythical goal line.
In the line, Ken Kirkpatrick
turned in his usual smart line play.
The big boy from Lewiston smash
ed open many a hole for Fullback
Chuck Missfeldt and Halfback
Emile Holeman.

Indians Drop

Ice Arena Director
Sets Student Rates
The Eugene Ice Arena' played
host last night to many old skat
ing faces from the ranks of Oregon \
students, together with many new
ones. With ice in top condition for
the winter opening, students vied
with townspeople in getting used
to skating again after the “iceless
summer season.”
Because of interest shown last:
night by large attendance, Arena
manager Geary Worth has an
nounced that he will maintain low ■
prcies to all University of Oregon
students. As an opening feature
last night, students were admitted
for 40c, and Worth plans to leave
it at that figure for the remainder j
of the season.
Big Nine Eleven Favored
To Prolong Midwest Myth;
Crowd of60,000 Expected
By GLENN GILLESPIE j
Emerald Co-Sports Editor
Coach Jim Aiken and his University of Oregon football team
will attempt to disprove a Big-Nine football myth today at 11
a. m. (Pacific Standard time), when the upset-conscious Ducks
scpiare off with the 1947 champion Michigan Wolverines ill
Michigan Stadium at Ann Arbor.
More than 60,000 pro-Wolverine fans are expected to par
tially fill the stadium of 85,000 capacity this afternoon, when the
two squads meet in a game that should answer questions about
the quality of PCC vs. Big-Nine football. Approximately 100
Oregonians are expected to be in Ann Arbor for the game.
VV C UiUU L-O die
strength for this intersectional
clash, while Coach Bennie Ooster
baan’s powerful grid machine will
be forced to operate without the
services of Halfback Gene Derri
cotte. Oosterbaan is expected to
call upon Charles Ortmann to fill
Derricotte’s left halfback spot.
Defensive Shift
A major shift in Oregon’s de
fensive lineup will probably be
made against the Hose Bowl
champs, with Bob Roberts and Sam
Nevills plugging the defensive
tackle holes. Aiken plans to stick
to the same offensive eleven which
started against Stanford.
The Ducks are expected to play
i wide-open game today, with
Norm Van Brocklin throwing his
deadly-accurate passes from the
quarterback p, st. Ends Dick Wil
kins and Dan G rza will probably
be on the receiving end, along with
backs George Bell, Johnny McKay,
and Bob Sanders. Lefthalf Wood
ley Lewis will see action today,
alternating with McKay.
A rugged Webfoot line is expect
ed to hold up against Michigan’s
bag of football trickery today, with
pass defense a possible weak spot.
The Wolverines had a tough game
with Michigan State last week, but
proved they could go places
through the air. Outgained on the
ground 158 yards to 106, Ooster
baan's squad made 117 yards from
passing. First downs favored the
Wolverines 16 to 8.
The Oregon team has flashed ex
ceptional spirit and fire in work
outs this week, and will be “up” to
add a major upset to their 8-game
win streak. A Webfoot win today
would bolster their Rose Bowl
chances, although they are 14-point
underdogs on most tip sheets.
Ducks Return Tomorrow
Corvallis radio station KOAC
and KOIN in Portland will broad
cast the game, starting at 11 a. m.
Pacific time.
The Ducks will return to Eugene
by air tomorrow at 7 p. m.
