Lemon-and-Green Prepares for Final
Two Weeks of Spring Grid Practices
With only two weeks by the cal
endar, seven actual practice days
of spring football left, Oregon’s
Webfoots are buckling down for
the stretch run which will be cul
minated by the annual intrasquad
game May 28.
■JIM AIKEN ran his charges
through another heavy drill yes
terday and plans to do the same
this afternoon.
Eone major casualty of the
workout was Tackle Steve Dotur,
who injured his knee and was
forced to leave the field.
At present the boys are trying
to perfect some plays given them
by Aiken. Next year’s offense, of
necessity, will have to depend
more on a running game than it
did in 1948, and consequently the
whole scheme of attack will be
slightly altered.
SOME of the newer plays call for
a wide-open style of football and
also call for the quarterback to do
a smattering of running.
Here is how the squad shapes up
at the moment:
Ends: ..Bob Anderson and Dar
rell Robinson have the first string
berths nailed to the mast. Lou Rob
inson, Hale Paxton, Les Hagen and
Nick Stevenson are also running
strong.
Tackles: It’s Dotur, Bob Rob
ers, Sam Nevills, and Gus Knick
erehm far ahead of everyone else.
Guards: Ed Chrobot and Chet
Daniels are tops with a Dig scram
ble for the other posts. Jerry Mo
shofsky looks good.
Center: Dave Gibson is offensive
pivot and Dick Patrick, refensive.
Dick Gaulden is being given a
crack at this job, too.
Quarterbacks: Jim Calderwood
rates first at the moment, followed
in order'by Earl Stelle and Joe
Tom.
Halfbacks: George Bell and
either Woodley Lewis or John Mc
Kay will be back on first string.
Chuck Missfeldt is slated for sec
ond string.
Fullback: Bob Sanders will do
ball carrying and Dewayne John
son the line backing. Number
three man in Bud Boqua.

Thinclads Point for ND Meet
Championships Set
For Seattle Oval;
"O' Captures Dual
Performing before the larg
est crowd ever to watch a Nor
thern Division track meet on
Hayward field, Oregon’s Web
foot harriers edged out the Ore
gon State Beavers 66-65 to
wind up the current season
firmly lodged in second place in ND
standing's. Saturday the Ducks par
ticipate in the division champion
ships at Seattle.
Coach Bill Bowerman’s outfit
cinched the victory by grabbing
eight first places, and tying for an
other, as well as getting five sec
onds, and seven thirds. The Beavers
made it a battle all the way as they
captured five firsts, tying one, and
added eight seconds, and seven
thirds, Resides the relay for their
05-point total.
IT WAS Bowerman's masterful
juggling of personnel that won the
meet for the Ducks. The Webfoot
boss pulled away Davey Henthorne
from the 100-yard dash to wrestle
the blue ribbon spot from the Beav
ers in the 440.
Then came the surprise of the af
ternoon when Bowerman entered
Woodley Lewis, Oregon ace broad
juniper-sprinter, in the high-jump
against Northern Division king,
Ken Elliott. Lewis turned the sur
prise into a shook by tying Elliott
for first with a leap of ti feet 2 in
ches.
Lewis added a victory in broad
jump and a third place in the cen
tury to share high point honors
with Sprinter Albie Bullier, who
won the 100 and the 220 for the
Ducks.
LONG-STKIDING W a 11 Mc
Clure, Oregon’s rapidly developing
middle distance man, was the only
record breaker of the afternoon.
He burned up the cinders in the 880
in 1:55.7 to shave one-tenth of a
second off the mark set by Kirman
Storli of Oregon in 1940.
The Ducks’ Big Three, George
Rasmussen, Don Pickens, a n d
Lloyd Hiekok, kept their exhalted
position as the leading vaulters in
ttie ND as they swept the event
with Ras leaping 14 feet for first
while Pickens and Hiekok racked
up 13 feet 6 inches and 12 feet 0
inches respectively.
JACK DOYLE, Bowerman’s ace
hurdler, also came up with some
clutch points as he romped home
first in the highs and second in the
(Please turn to paiie fire).

championships. They lost to

Sid Milligan’s Oregon golfers
went down to their first Northern
Division loss of the campaign Sat
urday in Seattle as the succumbed
to Washington IS1 ^ to 8>L*.
The Ducks go to Moscow. Idaho,
for the ND championships this
weekend.
Webfoot John Eckstrom fired a
sizzling 68 but it wasn’t good
enough. He was shooting against
Jim Mallory, the Huskie’s number
one man, who himself was having
quite an afternoon.
The latter battered par for a 65
to capture three points and pace
his mates to the win.
Beavers Block Way;
Kirschmen Downed
15-7 on Saturday
Ralph Coleman’s pesky Ore
gon State Beavers virtually
knocked the props from under
Oregon’s ND title hopes Satur
day by hammering out a 15-7
victory at Corvallis in the sec
ond game of a four-tilt series
between the two clubs. The remain
ing pair are slated for this weekend
when the Ducks travel there Fri
day and play at home Saturday.
THE DEFEAT dropped the
Ducks into second place in division
standings, leaving the way open for
Washington State to sweep to the
crown. Even if Don Kirsch and his
scrappers manage to scuddle OSC
twice this week, chances are it
won’t do them much good.
Buck Bailey’s Cougars now have
three games left, one against
Washington and a set against an
Idaho nine that has the rather un
enviable record of one victory in 14
starts.
Thus WSC needs to take only two
of the remaining three games to
eineli the ND championship.
Oregon got off to a shaky start
Saturday, but rallied and for a few
brief moments it appeared they
might win—and handily, too.
WEBFOOT Sid Mills yielded two
runs in the first and then settled
down to pitch shutout ball until the
fatal sixth.
Tile Ducks, meanwhile, had dead
locked matters with a two-run Out
burst in the third. Johnny Kovenz’s
double, singles by Hal Zurcher and
A1 Cohen, plus Dick Bartle’s field
er’s choice accounted for that.
