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.

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.
