*Jauclte aud all that. Cougar-Duck Fencing Here By PHIL JOHNSON Something new has been added! The ancient pastime of fencing has returned to the Pacific Northwest. University of Oregon Swimming Coach John Borchardt has made arrangements for an informal fenc ing meet between his physical edu cation class duelists and a rival Pass Plays Get Stress From Aiken Coach Jim Aiken worked his Spring football Ducks through a hard play-polishing scrimmage yesterday, with a let up on body contact in the backfield. Passing plays were scrimmaged thoroughly, according to Line Coach Buster McClure. Most of the running plays were practiced through the standing posts, to les sen body contact. Aiken’s passing system is coming along quite satisfactorily, McClure said after yesterday’s workout. A.iken and Assistant Coach Jerry Lillie were unavailable for com ment last night. Both mentors went south to Drain for an engagement. Williams Shaping Up Two outstanding offensive ends are dominating that position. At the left wing, Jake Williams is fi nally showing what was expected of him, McClure stated. The big ex-Frosh star had a little trouble assimilating himself to varsity ball, but is now coming along fast. At the right end spot, Dick Daugherty, shifted from defensive line backer, is leading the list of candidates. Daugherty, while not overly fast, is nevertheless a fair pass catcher and an exceptional of fensive blocker. “Daugherty adds punch to our line-up,” McClure fomented. He al so named Monte Brethauer as a likely candidate to follow Williams at the left wing position. On defense, three men have been outstanding among the multitude of linemen, McClure asserted.

The skirmish, which is scheduled for Saturday, will take place either in McArthur Court or in one of the Physical Education Building gym nasiums. The Cougar fencers will travel with Jack Mooberry’s WSC track men, who will battle Oregon in a dual meet Saturday. According to Coach Borchardt, the fencing meet will be strictly in formal. No championships will be at stake, but the fencers are ex pected to wage a lively battle. SPORTS STAFF Sam Fidman John Barton Clyde Fahlman Phil Johnson Dave Taylor Martin Meadows Oregon-ldaho Baseball at3; Netmen meet Willamette Junior Varsity Racqueteers vs Corvallis Here Oregon’s varsity and junior var sity tennis squads are scheduled to -swing into competition today, with the varsity engaging Willam ette University in a match at Sa lem and the JV’s playing host to the Corvallis High Spartans on the Emerald street courts. Coach Robeson Bailey’s six-man traveling team includes Tom Mac Donald, Cameron Thom, Dan Cud ahy, Bob Mensor, George Boyd, and Bill Williams. In its two pre-season contests thus far, the Webfoot varsity has mar Clements, Hardld Simmons, and Don Eldart are still hustling on top of the pile, Emery Effective Defensive ends at the present are Wayne Johnson and Emery Barnes. Few offensive blockers seem to be able to unseat the big Emery when he is determined to stop a play. Aiken commented a few days ago that, while Barnes’ style is a bit unorthodox, it is cer tainly effective. In the offensive line, Bob Ander son, veteran letterman at end, is turning in the best work as right tackle at the present. In the backfield, since Bill Fell has given up heavy workouts to devote full time to his track duties, Aiken is faced with the job of finding a left half who knows all the plays. Playing in that spot now is Tom my Edwards from Klamath Falls, Edwards ran from that position on the 1948 Frosh team. McClure said yesterday that he is “coming along” very well. Wayne Parsons is also putting in time at the left half position. At fullback, Hon Lyman, con verted halfback, drew top ratings from McClure. Tom Lyons has been shifted for the present to the right half spot. Bobo Moore and Jerry Peckover are also promising in the line-bucking role. Earl Stelle, Leo Gilnet, and Hal Dunham are still standing in that order at the quarterback position. SPECIAL Strawberry Sundaes 14c at TAYLOR'S SWIFT’S ICE CREAM No IMs for Week Softball intramural action takes a holiday for a week due to. varsity baseball and track com petition. However, intramural tennis'and golf will go on as scheduled. It is imperative that entries in these sports notify Ev erett Peery at the intramural of fice immediately following each contest. With the platoon system, why not have football players train for the bowl games by mingling with holiday shopping crowds? blasted both the Eugene Tennis Club and Portland University. This will be its last match before it opens Northern Division play against Idaho here Ftiday. JV Something New The Willamette Bearcats are also unbeaten, having edged Lin field in their first start. Among their players are four returning lettermen—Cece Conners, Hay Mc Coy, Howie Lorenz, and A1 Miles. Meanwhile, the JV’s, something new in Oregon athletic history, take on Corvallis on the local courts. The JV squad is composed of Jerry Barde, Fred Zolezzi, Merv Englund, Herb Chin, Martin Mea dows, and Gerry Berreman. The encounter will be its first of the season. WSC Track Meet Set for Saturday, TimeTrialsToday Time trials are on the docket for Oregon’s track team today in pre paration for the Washington State College dual meet here Saturday. Bill Bowerman’s squad should be at full strength, with the possible exception of distance man Jack Hutchins, who has a slightly sore leg. Art Backlund, Bowerman’s other star distancer, is still showing tra ces of a cold which slowed him down last week at Idaho, where he finished third in the mile race. Bill Fell, who didn’t make the Idaho run, will be present and ready for the sprints against the Cougars, WSC has its ever-tough cinder squad again this year. The Cougars are figured to be among the toughest competition in the Northern Division. Duck Pitcher Not Yet Named; Idaho Winless The touring' Idaho Vandals make their second Valley stop this after noon, as they take on Don Kirsch’s Webfoots in a baseball game sche duled for 3:00 p.m. at Howe field. Both teams will be looking for their first victory in Northern Di vision competition. Oregon was beaten twice by Washington State over the weenkend, while Idaho was suffering a like fate up in Seatle. Another pair of losses was added to the Vandal skein as they bowed twice to Oregon State up in Cor vallis. Stallworth and Pritchett at Bat A couple of basketball stars provide the batting attack for Ida ho. They are Nick “Slats” Stall worth, and Bob Pritchett, rio strangers to McArthur Court visi tors. Stallworth, who is built on the order of a flagpole, plays shortstop and bats in the number five spot. Vandal clean-up hitter is first-base man Pritchett. Probable lineup for the Idaho team will see Tobe Massingill at second base, Hal Hunter in left field, Rod Grider in right, Bob Prit chett at first base, Nick Stallworth at short, Merrill or Darnell will be behind the plate. Don Kirsch’s starting pitcher re mains a mystery. He has a choice of going with Mel Krause who has a four day rest, Jim Hanns who has not seen league action, or DeWayne Johnson wpo retired after four in nings on Saturday. The infield will be the same as that which were against the Cougars unless Don Kimball’s leg allows him to go back to third. The outfield will be drawn from Dewayne “Mouse” Owens, John Jones, Ray Stratton, Dick Salter, and Joe Tom.
