Spring Football Drills Continue; Casanova Expected Back Today Head Football Coach Len Casa nova was scheduled to arrive on the scene this morning to take charge of the University of Ore gon's spring grid practice now in its third day. Casanova is recovering from a ■najor back operation which forced him to postpone his return from an alumni tour of California for two weeks. Meanwhile Coaches Gene Har low, Jack Roche, Johnny McKay and ex-Duck Center Brad Ecklund have been handling the chores. Harlow described the attitude as good. “We’ve had to make quite a few changes, but everyone wants to play. They’ve shown a lot of pepper for this time of the year,” BOWLING... Results in Tuesday’s mixed doubles bowling were as follows: League no. 1: Wada and Takasumi 4, Gillmore and Lally 0. Leslie and Woodruff 4, Towata and Takano 0. Miller and Barber 4, Phillips and Spring er 0. Corbitt and Allen 2, Navasa ka and Furakawa 2. League no. 2: Lawrence and O’Brien 2, Gold enberg and Goldenberg 2. Carr and Weed 2, Mallatt and Abraham 2. Hablett and Husted 4, Fitzgerald and Jones 0. Hagedorn and Gand ies 3, Gatton and Mondale 1, Harlow said. Hallows mention of changes was in reference to the wholesale movement of ends to tackle and guard positions. The Ducks have had a surplus of flankers and an obvious scarcity of experienced tackles, guards and centers. Quarterbacks Hal Dunham, Bar ney Holland and Wally Russell were pressed into passing roles Tuesday afternoon; McKay and Roche drilled the backs on short, flat tosses. Harlow worked with the remainder of the squad, the linesmen, who number around the 40 mark. They stressed blocking and tackling, mostly in dummy drills.

Hitting practice occupied most of the afternoon, with each batter getting in about five good licks at the plate. Joe Sugura was meeting the ball well, ur, he rapped out several lino drives that would have gone for base hits in a game. 1'ltcher Don Selgmund also sent several scorch ing liners Into the outfield. The varsity hurlers were switch ing off at throwing to the hitters, with freshman catcher Hon Bottler spending most of the drill behind the plate.
