Oregon Out After Vandals For Second PCC Victory; Bureau Says 'Fair' Today by GLENN GILLESPIE The University of Oregon Webfoots, ready for their third victory of the season, are two-touchdown favorites to spoil an Idaho Homecoming this afternoon, when they meet the Idaho Vandals at Neale Stadium in Moscow. It will be a conference football power against a 1948 three time loser today. The Ducks have lost to Michigan but aie tabbed to finish near the top in PCC standings, while Idaho has dropped successive contests to Oregon State, Utah, and UCLA. The weather bureau has fore casted fair weather for all parts of Idaho today, so a capacity crowd of 15,000 will see the teams play on a dry field. KASH to Broadcast Game Eugene radio station KASH, 1600 key., will carry the game broadcast, starting at 1:45 this afternoon. The Webfoots, winners of two conference games this season, will be at top offensive strength. Only DeWayne Johnson, defensive line backer, is on the doubtful list. Full back Sam Theis, out with a leg injury, is the lone Idaho player not ready. Van Will Throw Passes Duck Coach Jim Aiken is ex pected to use the same offensive lineup which has started in pre vious games. Quarterback Norm Van Brocklin will direct Oregon’s feared passing attack, with a quar tet of top backs to pace the Web foots on the ground. Johnny McKay at left half, George Bell, right half, and Full back Bob Sanders complete Ore gon’s starting backfield. Woodley Lewis, McKay’s alternate, will also see action against the Vandals. The Duck line will be at full strength, with Ends Dan Garza and Dick Wilkins adding to Ore gon offensive punch on the receiv ing end of Van Brocklin’s passes. Vandals After Upset .Idaho Coach Dixie Howell has been drilling his team hard in practice, and they should be keyed for an upset. The Vandals will al ways take a chance, and have a fast attack to throw at O *egon. Pass defense has been a weak ipoint for both squads, so most of the scoring may be on passes. With a dry field, the teams will probably turn in a high-scoring game. Oregon’s 37-man traveling squad will leave Moscow after the game, arriving in Eugene at 11:50 a.m. tomorrow.
