Ducks Face Cal Plays During Lengthy Drill California plays in large doses were fed to the Oregon gridders 'Tuesday afternoon in the week s session of closed preparations. The Webfoots worked until dark before heading for the show ers as they sought to mold a defense capable of stopping the round-eating Rear attack which they are certain to meet Satur day at Portland. The Berkeley crew’s version of the T-formation ■emphasizes a pulverizing but swift ground offensive, with the air janes used for little more than an added attraction.

Coach Jim Aiken’s charges con tinued to show the drive and spirit ■which have marked the practice sessions this week. The fire was .still there when darkness halted worth of scrimmage, indication that the Webfoots have intentions -of again surprising the California aground game. Earl Stelle worked at quarter back again and continued to con vince Aiken he is where he be ilongs. The veteran signal-caller .combined good passing with .fj’oooth ball-handling. A likely newcomer to the start ring backfield, left half Tommy ■Edwards showed just cause why the should be considered one of the finest scatbacks on the coast this ifall. Cuffel Shows Hal Cuffel turned in a lot of ac -tion at right half. The stocky but ,/wift senior made good use of his (time and earned, an impressive amount of favorable description ■tfrom the Oregon mentor. Stelle and Cuffel shared the day’s citation for distinguished back field service with left half Bill Fell, who broke loose for several long .gains. On the defensive side, Gus Knick -rohm was one of the boys who ap peared to be a likely antitoxin for California yarditis. Another was center Dean Hanson, along with a pair of line-backers, Dick Daugh erty and Dick Patrick. This afternoon’s workout will be the last heavy labor for the Web foot squad this week.

Former Prep Stars Shine For Bowerman By PHIL JOHNSON Among the 73 candidates on the University of Oregon Frosh foot ball squad are eight gridders who won all-state honors ■during the 1949 prep season, according to the roster released yesterday by Fred Taylor of the Athletic News Bureau. Coach Bill Bowerman’s backfield prospects include three all-stater s — Marshfield’s Barney Holland at quarterback; Jack Morris of Med ford at left half; and Fullback Bob Krasneski from St. Mary’s. John Spreen of Albany and John Davis, an Indiana boy, also have performed well in the quarterback position, while O’Neil Sanders from Carson City, Nevada and Eugene’s Cece Hodges have given Krasneski serious competition for the start ing fullback position. Shifties Shifted Since his halfbacks have per formed exceptionally well, Coach Bowerman is considering a shift in the backfield, with a possible move of a halfback to the full back position, in order to add speed and drive in that spot. Bob Marra, a West Virginian, was one of the leading performeis in yesterday afternoon’s practice as he ran from the left half posi tion. Leading right, half prospects are Hoosier Howard Hostetler (Elkhart, Indiana) and Don Gun nell from Boys Town, Nebraska. The left anchor of the Frosh forward wall has been held down by Don Hedgepath, an all-star from Grants Pass, and Neil Tar dio, a New Yorker. Right ends include Ted Anderson from New port anil Franklin’s Frank Krause, another all-stater. Notre Dame? Bowerman’s outstanding tackles include Murphy Grzeszkiewicz, from Chicago, Illinois, and Ken Sipe of Gresham on the left side of the line, and All-Stater Darrell Farr of Franklin and Rex Wint ers from San Diego on the right side. No politician is ever as bad as he is painted by his enemies or as good as he is whitewashed by his friends. OFF-CAMPUS MEN ATTENTION YOEMEN MEETING Every Monday Evening 7 p.m. STl’DKNT UNION BUILDING Social Activities Sports Campus Contacts Cal Passers Lack Ability; Celeri Gone “Passing seems headed for a de emphasis in the 1950 California at tack,” according to the official Pa cific Coast Conference Football Press Book. Actually, this might possibly be an understatement, since Pappy Waldorf’s Golden Bears have lost their passing stars of the 1949 season, highly-touted Bob Celeri and elusive Charley Erb. Fine in ’49 These two quarterbacks complet ed 64 of the 65 aerials successfully attempted by the Bears during the season, and the 65th was tossed by Left Half Charley Sarver, who al so is not back for 1950 gridiron warfare. Pete Schabarum, another 1949 letterman, has returned for more action, but he is hardly ex pected to be a ball of fire, since he attempted anly three aerials in 1949 and completed one—to an op ponent wo intercepted it. Just Average However, the PCC Football Press Book lists two prospects, Brent Ogden and Jim Marinos, as “aver age passers.” Nevertheless, this is hardly impressive, since Ogden at tempted only one toss last year, and it was intercepted. Under the Waldorf ssytem, the Bears pass more frequently to backfield men than to the ends. California’s 1949 aerial artists completed 36 passes to halfbacks and fullbacks and only 29 to the ends. The Bears completed only three aerials in the Rose Bowl game with Ohio State, although they gained 106 yards in the air while holding the Buckeyes to a scant 34. TODAY’S IM SCHEDULE 3:50 IMField—ATO vs. Delts . Field l—Alpha vs. Hunter Field 2—SAM vs. Minturn Field 8—Phi Psi vs. Kappa Sigma 4:45 IM Field—Betas vs. DUs Field 1—French vs. Campbell Club Field 2—Chi Psi vs. Pi Kaps Fields—Theta Chi vs. Cher ney By JIM MENDENHALL and JACK CLEMENT Thi Delta Theta, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Nestor, SAE, Cln Psi, Gamma hall, and Sigma Chi notched victories in luesdaj s opening round of 1950 intramural football action. The Phi Delts, chiefly through the passing efforts of Nick Schmer, rolled up the highest score of the afternoon as they trampled Philadelphia House, 21 0. The winners opened scoring in the first period as Schmer tossed to Jim Livesay from the twenty yard line. Another pass from Schmer to Taggesell accounted for the conversion. After playing on even terms dur ing the second quarter, the Phi Delts struck pay-dirt again just be fore halftime on another heave from Schmer to Livesay. Tagge sell converted, bringing the count to 14-0 at halftime. Dick Garrett terminated a fourth quarter drive by connecting with a Schmer aer ial for the final tally of the game. The conversion attempt was good, rounding out the final score at 21-0. Nestor Wins The Big Red of Theta Chi and Nestor staged a spectacular duel in the first half of their struggle, with Nestor scoring the winning tally on a pass from Ken Edwards to Bob Peterson. Despite several threats by both teams, only on the fore-mentioned time was either squad able to score. Tau Kappa Epsilon scored twice in the first half to sew up a 14-0 victory over Phi Sigma Kappa. Both teams marched from one end of the gridiron to the other in the second half of the contest but neither managed to cross the final chalk line. Anderson Active Anderson, Tekes, plucked a pass out of the air and rambled 20 yards in the first period to put his team in front, 6-0. The conversion at tempt was good, making the score 7-0 at the end of the quarter. An aerial from Lacey to Frank produced the second and final tally early in the second stanza, with another pass accounting for the conversion. An end run in the waning min utes of the final quarter brought a 6-0 win for Sigma Alpha Epsilon over Sigma Phi Epsilon. Sid Mills crossed the goal from four yards out to win the hard fought contest for SAE. Dick Alguire set up the score as he intercepted a Sigma Phi Epsilon pass and raced 60 wards to the four-yard stripe. McChesney Forfeits McChesney hall dropped its op ening contest when it failed to send a team to oppose Gamma Hall Chi Psi and Lambda Chi Alpha fought to a scoreless tie, although the Chi Psi’s received credit for a win. The winner’s margin of vic tory was provided by a 3 to 2 edge in the first-down department. The battle was fought between the 30 yard stripes and neither team threatened during their four quar ters of play. Passes Pay Sigma Chi smothered the Pi Kap pa Phi football team, 18-0 in a daz zling display of aerial power. Wast ing little time the Sigs scored on their second play from scrimmage with a 30-yd. pass from Bill Colver to end Bob McAdams. With one minute of the second quarter re maining, the Sigs again took to the. air to score on a 20-yard aerial from Ed Seabloom to the sticky fingered Colver. That ended the scoring for the first half. Midway in the third quarter, the Sigs’ Bill Holmes fired a 40-yard pass to center Bill Young who romped the remaining 50-yards to score. All three conversion at tempts failed. The game between the Legal Eagles and Sigma Hall was can celled when both teams failed to show.
