Ducks Await Buffs; iFinal Two Opponents ((Feature Single wing. By Charles Peterson Two single-win" teams loom as the last opponents for this sea son’s Oregon Ducks with the first of these, the University of Col .,01-ado Buffaloes, coming up Saturday o lithe latter's home ... grounds in Boulder, Colo. Coach Jim Aiken worked the Ducks hard yesterday in what he yotermed a rough and highly sat isfactory scrimmage. The de j*tensive unit came in tor praise, /•^specially I'.nd J. IX McCowan ,.r*nd Jerry Shaw. Jim Calcler ,'V-Tvood, who had seen his only ac tion on offense, looked sharp at , r. defensive halfback post. Hal Dunham had another good .widay at his quarterback passing j)L|>ost, hitting Ends Monte Brethauer ...and Jake Williams and Halfback "•"Tommy Edwards regularly. Don S Floan sparked the running attack :fis Aiken kept Edwards and Eatl ,j F telle from the heavy contact work. With the traditional battle with . .Oregon State only a week after the Colorado game, Aiken welcomes the opportunity to tangle with a >1 team which employs an offense sim , iiar to that of the Beavers. Both , feature a single-wing and generate - most of their power on the ground. The Ducks will take along oxy gen machines to compensate for tl^e thin air which prevails in the Rocky r Mountain home of the Buffs. Aiken also plans to use his reserves ex tensively to combat the high alti tude fatigue. Nearly all members . of the traveling squad can expect to see action, he said. Backfield Coach Johnny McKay saw Colorado lose to Missouri 21-19 , list Saturday and said the Buffs ..outplayed their rivals despite the Joss. Colorado also scored three times against powerful Oklahoma while losing, 28-18. IM Battles One-Sided By Clark Smith Sigma Chi, Sherry Ross, Beta Theta Pi, Philadelphia, and Phi Sig ma Kappa claimed victories in Tuesday's intramural volleyball ac tion. Pi Kappa Phi won by forfeit over Omega Hall. The Phi Kaps were badly beaten by the powerful Sigma Chis, 15-1, 15-2, but put up a hard fight all the way. Sherry Ross defeated the Tekes easily in the first game, 15-1, but was pressed in the second contest before winning, 15-7. The Beta Theta Pi series with the Pi Kaps saw the Betas win, 15-9, before blanking the enemy in the second battle. Philadelphia House rolled over the Yeomen, 15-2, 15-4, in a pair of raggedly played but hard-fought encounters. The day’s last series saw the Phi Sigs hand Delta Upsilon severe beatings in two meetings, 15-G, 15 5. The best acting in the movies is done by the fellow who smiles when you crunch popcorn right in his ear. .1. 1). Met'OWAN, Iff I cud for Jim Aiken’s Webfoots, lias returned to .action after missing most of the season because of a leg injury. The ; >t).pound veteran of the ISM' season excels as a defensive wingman, a post at which lie combines a lot of speed with a lot of size.

The com bination of air power, sparked by Quarterback Wally Russell, rated one of the two top quarters in the state, and ground power Texas Guard Top Lineman NEW YORK—(jP)—After two successive weeks that saw Pacific Coast Conference players win, this week’s Associated Press Lineman of the Week award was snared by a Southwest Conference lineman —Lewis “Bud” McFadin, Texas guard. The nod went to McFadin for his sterling play against Baylor, a nip and tuck game won by Texas, 27-20. Shifted to Defense Normally an offensive left guard, he was shifted to defense in the second half and played a major role in helping to stop the Bears. “If there was any doubt about McFadin’s ability on defense, this game erased it,” declared Texas Coach Blair Cherry. Two other players in the South west Conference—Andy Hillhouse, -Texas A &-M end, and Bill How ton, Rice end—also received high praise. Hillhouse Liked Texas A & M upset Southern Methodist, 25-20. Afterward, two SMU players complimented Hill house. Said Neal Franklin, SMU tackle, “Hillhouse is the best blocking end we’ve met. Aiken Says Grid Style May Alter By A1 Karr The short punt formation used by the freshman football team against the Washington Pups Sat urday is partly an indication of what Oregon may use during next year’s grid season. So said Coach Jim Aiken at Tuesday night’s movies of last Saturday’s Wash ington-Oregon football game. Aiken said he may combine a single wing attack with the T formation next year, especially with a back like Jack Morris, this year’s frosh star. Aiken rates Morris the best back to come out of the state of Oregon since Jef ferson high of Portland produced Stanford’s great Bobby Grayson. "I’m an old single wing coach, myself,” Aiken remarked. He said that he changed to the “T” dur ing the war and stuck to it at Nevada when he “never coached the same squad two weeks i#a row.” (He has used it ever since producing Oregon’s great Cotton Bowl squad of 1948 with Norm Van Brockiin running the squad.) Aiken feels, however, that next year more coaches will be using some single wing along with the In reply to a question from the floor during the question period which accompanies the showing of the movies, Aiken said the Stagg punt formation which Oregon has used so successfully this year will probably be outlawed by the rule makers next year. Aiken feels that the fair catch, which was abolish ed this year, will be reinstated to protect the punt receiver.
