Brethauer Tells How
He Snags Passes;
Secret: Eye on Ball
By Bill Gurney
What is the secret of topflight i
passcatching in college football ? j
It is a combination of a lot of,
factors, but here is what Oregon j
End Monte Brethauer had to say j
about the way he does it:
“I just keep my eye on the front,
part of the ball and try to stay]
relaxed when it hit my hand. 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.

Sounds like wo need a better

rate, a young man by the name of
Brethauer lias surely done more |
than his shnre toward putting the j

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.

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.
Tennessee, in addition to 17 first
place votes, received seven for sec
ond, three for third, two for fourth,
one for fifth, three lor si\lh, and
two for seventh—a total of 300
points.
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.
