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.

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.
