Ducks Work Hard For Vandal Tilt; Davenport Out A 1 it; 111 workout was again the order of the day Tuesday for the injury-ridden Oregon football team. 'I he Duck-- meet the Idaho Vandals Saturday at Hayward field for the cellar champ ionship of the l’CC. It was announced today that Dick Haven port, freshman pass-catching end from (<rant High school, wdl he out of play for the remainder of the season because of hi DECK injury. Also, paamng nmi Hal Dunham who has started five of the lust six Kami's, will miss at least the Idaho clash with a sprained ankle. A further blow to the Duck pass ing attack, which lead the PCC with an average of 173 yards per game and six touchdowns, is the ankle injury nursed by End Monte Brethauer. Brethauer was exer cising Tuesday night, and may be ready for some action against the Vandals. Tackling Practiced A tackling drill for the backs was a feature of Tuesday’s drill, and it is certainly needed since Oregon trails the rest of the PCC-j in rushing defense. The Ducks have allowed an average of 318.7 yards to be gained against them in six games. Coach Den Casanova, and Line U'oach Gene Harlow drilled the line in fundamentals of tackling and blocking, while Backfield Mentor j John McKay and Assistant Coach Jack Roche supervised the backs in an extensive signal drill with both passing and running plays sharpened A new addition to the varsity backfield ranks is Bob Wil cox, 180 pound senior fullback up from the JV’s. Wilcox will be used primarily as a defensive perlormer. Idaho Plays Run Later a unit of Coach Bill Bow erman’s Junior varsity, which topped Humboldt State college last I Saturday night by a 14-13 count, ran Idaho plays against the first string defensive platoon. Line Coach Gene Harlow coached the varsity defensive men in play against the T-formation used by Babe Curfman's Vandals. The men from Moscow are led by Glen Christian, halfback from Talent, Oregon. There was no heavy con tact work in this drill. Shaw Drills at Quarter On the other side of the practice field, the first-string offensive unit ran through dummy scrimmage against the reserves. The first team backfield included George Shaw at quarterback, Ted Ander son and Bob Ashworth at the half back posts, while Tom Lyon and Cecil Hodges alternated at the fullback spot. Statistics for the first six games show the Ducks rushing offense a solid eight in the conference with an average of 125.2 yards per game. Only Idaho, the opponent for this weekend, has a lower aver age. The Vandal rushers have com piled an average of only 101.2 yards per contest in five games. Noviknff l-eucls Leaders in Duck individual de partments are as follows: Tom No- j vikoff, 200 pound fullback, has Let Your CLEANER Do Your CORDS been the workhorse of the ball* carrier*. Hi* 213 net yard* gained tops the team, giving him a 3.0 average In 03 carries.

Davenport I wads Dick Davenport, freshman end who is out for the season, is far out in front in yards gained by pass-receiving with 273, pic ked up on 16 passes caught. End Monte Brethauer, who caught six passes against the Cou gars to hit hi* last season's stride, is second with 16 passes caught for 132 yards gained. George Shaw leads the DurJc team, and the Pacific Coast Con ference a* well, in pass intercep tions, with seven for 93 yards gained. The glue-fingered Shaw has several one-handed catches in cluded in this total. Football Flashes CORVALLIS <U.R> The Ore gon State Beavers should be at full strength when they move into Seattle for their battle with the University of Washington, accord ing to Coach Kip Taylor. Center Pete Palmer and line backer Bill West suffered foot in Juriea against California, but were expected to respond to treatment. The three injured Beavers who missed the California game Bob Redkey, Fred Burr! and Kaye Booth also should he in shape for the Huskies, Taylor said. SEATTLE (UP) Sam }tfh chell, first-string quarterback for the University of Washington who was injured in the Stanford game Saturday, may not be ready for ac tion against Oregon State this week, according to Coach Howie Odell. With the announcement that Don Heinrich would not return to ac tion this season, the Huskies were left with only three sophomores — Dean Hockey, Clarence Robert on and Arnold Bergh for the all-im portant signal-calling spot. PULLMAN - (U.R) Washing ton State's Forest Evashevski, a coach whose gridders stood up well in losses to California's Golden Bears and the USC Trojans, ab hors the thought of meeting un beaten Stanford Saturday at Palo Alto.
