For Intersectional Contest
< by Jim White
Emerald Sport* Writer
Oregon’s Wc-bfoots continue
practice today in preparation
for Saturday's football opener
■uitli Nebraska at Jnncoln.
Coach I<011 Casanova stressed
passing in today’s practice in
anticipation of a wide open
aerial game. The contest is one
of the major intersectional
games of the year and will be
broadcast and televised nationally,
the first time an Oregon game has
ever been televised.
Nebraska is generally considered
to he somewhat stronger than last
year, despite the loss of All-Ameri
can Bobby Reynolds. The Corn
Jhuskers who beat the Oregon team
last year by a score of 28-13 are
expected to field a stronger overall
team.
I Nebraska will feature such stars
as John Bordogna, who outscored
Reynolds last year and is improv
, ing fast, Ralph Fischer at half
back, rated as another Bobby Rey
nolds, and Tackle Jerry Mfnnick,
picked on the Colliers pre-season
All-American squad.
The Midwesterners are also
rated as top contenders for the
Big Seven title along with the
ever powerful Oklahoma Sooners.
Managers Needed
Any student interested in
helping to manage varsity foot
ball can get a job with this
year’s team by contacting Jim
Nchroeder, head manager, at the
athletic department in .McArthur
court. The phone numbers are
campus extensions 281 and 285.
Sehroeder says that there are
three spots open.
The pame, however, is generally
picked an a very clo.se one, consid
ering Oregon’s somewhat impres
sive improvement.

Six Quarters, Headaches Results
Of New Football Substitution Rule
The game of football is undergo
ing a drastic change this year with
the abolition of the free substitu
tion rule.
Gone are the days of the spec
ialists — the extra point kickers
who never played offense, and the
triple threat quarterback who
couldn't block or tackle.
The new rule in a nutshell is
this: a player cannot re-enter
a quarter in which he has al
ready played.
The game will be divided tech
nically into six quarters, three in
each half. The first quarter is 15
minutes long. The second quarter
lasts for 11 minutes. The "third"
quarter is the last four minutes
in the first half when players who
have played in the second period
may re-enter the game. The same
15-11-4 timing applies to the sec
ond half.
Naturally, this radical change
has brought a number of problems
to the coaches. Keeping track of
who has and who hasn't been in
the game will he a constant head
ache. Some coaches are starting a
"two bench" system. This will sim
ply be two benches — one for
I those who have been in the game
l and one for those who have not
I played.
Special Coach for Subs
Other coaches arc giving their
assistants the specific duty of
watching the substitutions. Still
others will have a different color
slipover jersey for the players
they have already used.
The National Collegiate Athletic
% association has imposed a stiff
8 penalty for the violation of the
§ rule. I his will make the coach give
almost as much attention to the
players on the bench as to the
players on the field.
The question arises, will this
help the small school?
Most coaches don’t think it will:
because the big schools will still
h continue to get a good deal of the
\ top players. Pome observers fee!

for defense, the big schools will
field a first quarter team and then
replace it in the next quarter with 1
an entirely new outfit.
Crowds Up? or Down?
What effect this wiil have on '
the attendance of football games
is still a question. Some feel that
the return to the "sixty minute
players" will give a boost to the
crowds. Others feel that a good
deal of the wide open scoring and
spectacular offensive plays will be
gone and likewise the fans.
Another problem for the coaches
is how to get a swivel-hipped half
back to play defense; or a line
backer to catch a pass. Many of
the outstanding players from last
year will have a hard time making
the traveling squad this year be
cause they don't know how to play
both ways.
Getting closer to home, how
will the restricted substitution
rule affect Oregon? In an inter
view soon after the change was
made, Duck Coach Len Casa
no\a said that it would lx* about
the same at Oregon as at any
other school. "It will be our best
against their best.”
Several Oregon football stars
will definitely get a break with the
new ruling. George Shaw, out
standing defensive man and of
fensive passer, Hal Reeve, stal
wart lineman who goes both ways,
and Jack Patera, versatile guard,
two platoon system to the two ’
team system.
In other words, instead of field
ing a team for offense and a team j
are three of the Webfoots’ top
.prospects.
