    Ducks Scrimmage for Uclans
las Hopes fo Stop Paul Cameron;
Weather Outlook Is for Showers
Despite a steady downpour
of rain, the Oregon football
team Wednesday ran through
a rugged defensive scrimmage
and a series of offensive plays
in an effort to sharpen both de
partments of play for the clash
with the potent UCLA Bruins at
Hayward field Saturday.
Highlight of the drill was the
defensive scrimmage in which the
“Blues”—the third team—ran the
single wing plays of UCLA against
the Oregon defense. With Sopho
more Ted Overton taking the part
of the Bruins' powerful Paul Cam
eron, the Blues managed to make
considerable headway. Coach Len
Casanova described the defensive
play versus the single wing as
“spotty.”
The offensive work was purely
routine, with both running' and
passing receiving a share of the
attention.
Coach Casanova has been lay
ing special plans in an attempt to
stop the Bruins’ ace tailback,
Paul Cameron, who at present is
the Coast conference’s third lead
ing rusher, and who also handles
passing and punting chores for the
Uclans.
Casanova also noted two other
Biuin backs, Pete Dailey and Bob
Davenport, as capable of giving
the Webfoots plenty of trouble.
Dailey, 165-pound senior, was the
Bruins’ top scorer last year. Dav
enport is a hard running sopho
more fullback.
The weather outlook is recur
ring rains through Sunday with
possible breaks in between.

like the relentless machines which

the power in the Dodger lineup

first inning and yielded four runs
with a triple by Billy Martin
