Speed To Burn BILL. FF.LL, 181 pound right halfback who ranks as one of Jim Aiken's fastest gridders. Last year he was clocked in 10.6, while in football togs, as he broke the record formerly held by the great Glen Davis. As a trackman, Fell is consistant at 9.7 seconds. Oregon W Emerald Sdaho Roughest Duck Foe, Bruins Most Competent, Interviewed Players Say By Marty Weitzner Idaho was Oregon's roughest ■ football opponent thus far, and UC LA. the most competent, according tc> the boys w'ho take a majority of the Saturday lumps and bruises. That’s what three of them told Interviewer Bob Roberts on Mon day night's “Webfoot Huddle Time” on KOAC. Roberts, who takes his siiare of knocks as a member of Jim Aiken's squad, had as guests Ray Lung, defensive guard and tackle, Chuck Missfeldt, defensive end, and Dick Daugherty, line backer. Besides voicing opinions on the merits of Oregon football foes, the boys told of prep school ball as it is played in parts of the section. Lung is a native of California, Missfeldt ■ is from Milwaukie, Oregon, and Daugherty came west from Jim Aiken's Steubenville, Ohio. According to Daugherty, the high school brand of football played in the Midwest is more advanced than it is here. This is largely due to the intensive program that sees the youngsters getting their first schooling in the grid game when they ate still in grade school. On the basis of his West Coast grid battles however, Dick said that western college ball is coming up to where it will stand on a par with any in the nation. Ray Lung explained the benefits of junior college experience to members of big time college squads. Himself a transfer from a two-year school, Ray said such training gives many boys the added poise and ex perience necessary to playing col lege ball. Versality was the main point in Chuck Missfeldt's interview, as the big sophomore explained the many changes in position he had under gone since he first donned the Web foot uniform. A fullback in frosh competition, he has since seen action as a right halfback in Spring practice, and as a defensive end in the latest grid shakeup. Change in position does not seem to bother Chuck, who was a one-man high school track squad. “Webfoot Huddle Time” is a weekly feature of the University KOAC series. The show intends to bring basketball, baseball, and track figures before the micro phone as well as the members of the football team. r -n 1947 PLYMOUTH CONVERTIBLE 13,000 Actual Miles Priced To Sell $1495 UNIVERSITY MOTORS 164 W. llth 47217 Ducks Scrimmage, Set For "Taped" Colorado Champ Preps For Valentino Bout Friday SAN FRANCISCO.— (UP) — World’s heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles took his longest workout yesterday in preparation for his title fight here on Friday night against challenger Pat Val entino. Charles went seven rounds against four sparring partners, and then put in another half hour with the punching bag. In a hec tle two round battle with Freddie Beshore, Charles was on the re ceiving end of some savage rights to the body, similar to the tactics used by Valentino. Charles then went two rounds with Cincinnati middleweight Floyd Gibson, concentrating on ac curacy and skill rather than power. He displayed his left hook to ad vantage in two rounds with Andy Walker, and warmed up with one round against A1 Smith of New York. The champion plans to box to day perhaps going eight rounds, as Joe Louis watches. Valentino put in his last day of hard work, slugging out three rounds with Oakland’s Billy Smith and then punishing Bob Dunlop with some savage blows for three rounds. The challenger plans to do light exercises tomorrow, rest Wed nesday, and be weighed in at noon on Friday. Running through their first full scrimmage of the week, the Oregon Webfoots started tuning up procedures Tuesday aftei noon in preparation for their Saturday gridiron engagement with the University of Colorado. Coach Jim Aiken supervised the explosive Webfoot attack which smashed over, through, and around a Colorado-style de fensive pattern, enacted by reserves and defensive linemen. Frosh Gridman Prepare For OSC Rooks After tucking away a 27-to-6 win over the Portland Frosh, Bill Bow erman’s Oregon Freshmen will tan gle with the OSC Rooks on Hay ward Field Friday at 2 p. m. in what promises to be one of the outstand ing clashes on the Frosh’s schedule. In last week's fray, the Ducklings showed power in the airways and might use aerials extensively aginst the Orange yearlings. Washington ian Harold Dunham was the key tosser in the previous tilt and prob ably will retain the offensive quar terback position. Yesterday, Bow erman drilled the backs and ends on pass maneuvers, with both Dun ham and Wayne Parsons tossing the pigskin. If the Frosh grid ma chine remains on the ground, backs Don Sloan, Phil Turner, and Rod Lyman will take over the yard gaining duties. Line play in the coming tussle should be rough and tough with both squads having near equal weight averages. The Oregon State roster is dotted with prep stars like Doug Hogland, Bend, Jim Jenks, Albany, and Merv Brock, Portland. Aiken was epeciauy well pleased with the Ducks’ per formance, in view of the fact they operated on a rain-soaked turf. Spirit was high as the Web foots grunted a n d sweated through~the drills—and it remained that way even after a half dozen laps around the goal posts. That was Aiken’s method of making up for what he felt was a lack of run ning during the scrimmage. After the third lap, Gentleman Jim charged into the jogging wall of brawn and ran half the length of the field to “stimulate” his charges C to greater output. Immediately following the game scrimmage, Chet Daniels, the auto matic toe of the Webfooted offense, staged an exhibition of point after touchdown and field goal artistry. Although somewhat hampered by the slippery field, Daniels showed why he was the “Cool Papa” who pulled the 1948 St. Mary’s game out of the fire. Two consecutive kicks from about 20 yards out bounced back off the cross bar to highlight the show. While Aiken maintained his amaz ing no-injuries record, the Colorado Buffaloes are reportedly plagued by hurts that threaten to cut down the calibre of Buff play.
