I catch the ball first and then start worrying about running with it.' Method Works Sounds simple, doesn't it? Cer tainly it has been a successful method for Monte, since the slim 172 pound junior has caught uO passes in his two year varsity career, by far an Oregon record for receptions. The former holder was Darrell Robinson, with 39, and Monte passed him several games ago. He now has a total of 17 this season, although a rib injury has hampered him for a big shaie of the time. Monte is also a pretty fair punter, and has done most of the Oregon kicking in recent games. A Portland resident, Monte at tended Jefferson high school, where he was also a top football end. His senior year he was chosen out standing player in Portland, and the Democrats finished in a two way tie for the city championship. They went on to compete In the state playoffs, losing 6-0 to Grants Pas* in the finals. A quiet, modest young: man. Monte won’t comment too much about the many things he has done on various gridirons. He did say that perhaps his biggest football thrill was when he intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown against Washington high school. Here on the Oregon campus, [ Monte is a member of the Alpha Tati Omega fraternity, and the Order of the O. Football, however, takes up the greater part of his time and he is deeply interested in J learning to play and know it better, j He is a PE major, and has an am- ; bition to coach someday, piefer-j ably in the state of Oregon. In line with those future plans is his engagement to >Ilss Shirley Wieden of Portland. The two plan to be married during Christmas vacation. Meanwhile, Monte is looking for ward to the final two football games with California and OSC. Concerning the Duck team, he said this: Cots of Spirit “We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores on the team, and some times we make mistakes, but I can truthfully say this team has never given up in a game yet, and we won’t start now.” Monte says he enjoyed the re cent footbail trip to Boston, but that the city was bid-fashioned in many ways. “Beside that, nobody back there has ever heard of Ore-gone,” said Monte with a grin of amusement at Pastern accents.

Ducks Scrimmage " Again As Cal Tilt Looms Next Saturday By John Whilty Typical Oregon weather greeted the Oregon football team on their second day of practice this week, as Coach hen Casa nova continued to prepare his Wchfoot squad for this Satur day's game against the powerful University of California < •old en” Hears. The game, which will he played at Memorial Stadium in Herkeicv. is the twenty fifth meeting of the two teams in a series which began in 1899. Cali fornia has won 15 of the contests, . anil the Ducks have captured eight victories, with one game ending in a scoreless tie. Yesterday’s drill was a repltition of Monday's scrimmage session ex- j cept for the fact that it was not as rough. The Duck offensive unit looked much better than on the previous day, as they broke loose j for several good-sized gains on the ground, as well as continuing to i complete passes almost at will. Quarterback Ilal Dunham looked especially sharp in his passing. He led the Duck attacking group straight down the field to open the scrimmage, throwing several times to both ends Wayne Johnson and Ken Sweltzer. He also hit full back Tom Novikoff for a nice gain, as he connected on nearly 100 |>cr cent of his aerial atempts. The other two members of the bark field were Ted Anderson and Dob Ashworth. Second I nit Casanova next replaced this unit with a backfleld composed of George Shaw, quarterback; Don Sloan and Tommy Edwards, half backs; and Cece Hodges, fullback. Shaw threw to Sloan in the flat, and the fleet halfback carried the ball to the midfield stripe. The de fensive squad got even a few sec onds later, however, when John Reed intercepted Shaw's pass and broke into the clear. Both Dick Davenport and I-en Dlederichs were on the field in suits, but their participation In the session was confined to the running of laps, as l>oth boys tried to work some of the stiffness out of their injured legs. It is doubtful that either will see action this week end. The California Bears also have been troubled with injuries, as their star fullback, Johnny Ols zewski, re-injured his ailing leg in the third quarter of last week's game with Washington. The Injury was a serious blow to the Bears, for the hard charging fullback is the leading ground-gainer for Lynn "Pappy" Waldorf's eleven. Despite the fact that he has lost much playing time due to his injuries. Johnny O. ranks 17th in the nation in rushing offense, with a total of 047 yards in 84 plays for a sen sational 7.7 yards per carry aver age. Replacement Waldorf was grooming Sopho more Fullback Don Harris to re place Olszewski, as the Golden Bears spent Monday in work on their blocking on plays which they ran against the Oregon defensive setup. Halfbacks Harry West and Bill Powell will team with Quarter back Billy Mais to complete the California backfield. Outstanding lineman for the Itears is All-American guard Lcs Richter, a 225 pound giant who plays both on offense and defense. A good diagnostician, he has better than average speed and is also adopt at pass defense. He does the place-kicking for the Bears, and Ills 22 yard field goal against Washington last week put the Californians ahead for good. The Golden Bears have com piled a 5-2 record so far this season, having dropped games to Southern Cal, 14-21; and UCLA, 7-21. Victories include a 35-0 shut out of Pennsylvania and a 55-14 slaughter of Minnesota, as well as last week’s win over Washing ton 37-28. The men from Berkeley rank 8th nationally in rushing offense, as they have chalked up an average of 293 yards per game on the ground. Princeton averaged 6.33 yards per play during the 1950 season, Tom Novikoff's return to action will booht the hopes of WebfOOt supporters, but the attention of most Duck fans will be centered on George Shaw, who Intercepted Ills 11th puss of the season last week to break the former PCC pass record of 10, set by Jake Deicht of OreRon in 1945. Shaw needs only one more interception to tie the national record of 12 in this department. Rugged End DICK HTOl'TT, 220 pound. Jun ior end, has wen a lot of net ion this season with th«> Duck line. Photo b\ Prati lion i Spartans Top A ggregaiion In Country NEW YOKK (U.R) Unbeatcii and untied Michigan State, which reached a peak of power and pre cision in crushing Notre Dame, 35-0, Saturday, replaced Tennessee as the nation's no. 1 college foot ball team today in the ratings of the United Press board of coaches. Although Tennessee drew 17 firsl place ballots compared to I t for Michigan State, Coach Biggie Munn'fl Spartans received a great er number of votes for succeeding positions to earn the top ranking for the first time this season. Ten nessee had led for the three pre vious weeks. Spartans Lead In addition to their 14 first place ballots, Michigan State attracted 15 for second place, and two each for third, fourth and sixth places for a total of 315 points. The Spar tans were third last week.

Points are awarded on the basis of 10 for a first place vote, nine for a second, and so on dowir to one for a 10th place vote. Long t'limh The Spartans, with seven straight 1951 victories and a string of 13 over the past two seasons, thus climaxed a season-long climb up the football ladder. • 1 Colorado averaged 45.1 yards per punt during the 1950 season.
