_ 02u 9i£a t "bring in so"'<‘ new adding machines!” was the battle cry at ( Uigon s spring training exhibition football panics, lloth teams ran wild and scored almost at will. In the first pigskin track meet, the Whites and (Ireens passed and tan each other dizzy, finishing in a somewhat high-scoring 42 12 deadlock. Similar circumstances prevailed last Saturday as the Whites d< feated the (<reens 54-12, despite a low-scoring final quarter. ( Mtxervcrs might tend to draw certain conclusions from this data. Questions might be asked: ‘‘Are the Ducks that good?” “Are the Ducks that bad?” I he fit.st question, of course, would be based upon the high scoring performances of both teams in both contests. The second query, something similar to a noil-confidence vote, would be a teaction to the apparent lack of defense in the spring games. At tn.illy, however, the games did not test Oregon's defensive potentialities. In Saturday’s dash, for example, the regulars faced the third-stringers for part of the game, and the second stringers opposed the fourth team for the remainder. in the final quarter, the offensive and defensive clubs were more evenly matched, contributing to the low score in that per iod. vrrensive Advantages i wo additional factors involved offensive advantages over the defenders, hirst, Coach Jim Aiken lias devoted most of his time and energy to the development of a potent offensive unit. Second reason : the defensive elevens concentrated upon a 6-2 2 1 arrangement and did not change it at anv time. It is not dilti i u 11 to out maneuver ait opponent when his plans are obvious. A number of freshman arc listed on Coach Aiken's first and second squads. Duckling Coach Rill i’.owcrman correctlv pre dicted last November that several of his gridders would make the varsity team. Ilowerman classified the hrosh into four divisions. The list, stating the varsity potentialities for each Duckling, was given to Kugene Register-* .uard Sports h.ditor Dick Strite. Ihe following classifications were used: Certainties, Prob ables, Possible, and Impossibles. Bowcrman listed two “Certain ties," Halfback Jack Morris of Medford and Guard Howard All man. a \\ est \ irginian. Morris is now in the army, but Allman is li-ted at center on the varsity second string. Probables Failed Bo we nn an s "Probables" included Center Dave Lowe, now in tbe army, Knd Don Hedgepeth (who turned out for baseball in stead of spring football), Tackle Max Kendig, Guard Jack South worth, 1 ackle Pat O l’rien, and Halfback Cece Hodges. < )nlv one of these, Cece Hodges, is listed among Aiken's first three teams. Hodges i- a third-string halfback. The others either did not make the grade, did not turn out, or left school. Only one of Bowennan s ten "Possibles” ranks among Aiken’s ■H top gridders. He is Barney Holland, second-string quarter back, a fine passer. 'I he other "Possibles” included fiery Pullback Hostetler, Full back Bob Krasneski (who didn't turn out this spring), Defensive Lineman Terry Picknell (who is now in the service), Defensive Back Gary Pickens, Guard Dewey Sceales, Defensive Lineman O'Xeill Sanders, 'Tackles' Harold Farr and Ken Sipe, and De fensive Back Duane Siebert. Bowerman’s “Impossibles” were not named, but they were conspicuous by their absence from the other classifications. Three of them arc now listed on Aiken’s second and third strings. Cach Cashes In They are Halfback Ted Anderson, (second-string halfback), Left Knd Neil Tardio (third team), and Right End Jerry Cach (also third squad). The success of each of them is a tribute to a fighting spirit that will not be crushed. That’s the kind of spirit that coaches like to see. It is interesting to note that the six freshmen who were listed among the first three strings included one “Certainty,” and “Probable,” one “Possible,” and three “Impossibles.” 'I'llis is no reflection upon Bowerman’s personnel-evaluation methods (which are very good if his brilliant prep coaching record is any criterion). He was merely stating the potentialities of the young athletes. He could hardly foresee the future, know ing who would join the army, who would flunk out of school, who would develop laziness, etc. He probably left Anderson off the list because lie thought that Anderson would concentrate upon track. Nevertheless, the New port speedster decided to play varsity football, and he has shown a great amount of ability in the halfback position. His 60-yard touchdown gallop Saturday was not his longest run in a Duck uniform—he returned an Oregon State Rook kick off 94 yards for a TD last fall on Hayward-Field.
