Something new has been added!
The ancient pastime of fencing has
returned to the Pacific Northwest.

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. Del

The Cougar fencers will travel

men, who will battle Oregon in a
dual meet Saturday.
According to Coach Borchardt,
the fencing meet will be strictly in

at stake, but the fencers are ex
pected to wage a lively battle.

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.

their players are four returning

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.
