Ducks Polish
Aerial Attack
by Sam Vahay
Emarald Sport* Editor
University of Oregon gets back to playing teams its own size
■this weekend, when the Ducks travel into the Palouse hills to
■engage the up and down Cougars of Washington State college.
After a fine showing against the Pacific Coast conference
Goliath, UCLA, last Saturday, Coach Len Casanova’s Webfoot
eleven will be out to add another
win to their 1-2 slate.
“Cas” sent his charges through
some more passing drills Tuesday,
In anticipation of a possible full
scale aerial attack against the air
minded Cougars.
George Shaw, who had plenty of
accuracy but poor reception on his
passes Saturday against UCLA,
hit his receivers consistently, as
did Barney Holland.
The local eleven also polished
up its ground attack against a
simulated WSC defense. Halfbacks
Dick James and Farrell Albright,
fourth and seventh place, respec
tively, among PCC ball carriers,
will probably be called on often
against WSC.
Coach A1 Kircher’s Washington
State ball club is the big ques
tion mark in the northern half of
the conference. At the first of the
Reason, WSC was tabbed for a
seventh place finish by most of the
so called experts.
However, the Cougars looked
good, losing to powerful Southern
Cal, and came back the next week
to dump College of Pacific, who
had beaten Stanford, which in
ttum defeated Oregon.

Pullman eleven traveled to Iowa,

where it was pitilessly trounced
by former Coach Forrest Eva
shevskl’s Iowans, 54-12. Maybe
this was Just a pour-it-on attempt
by Evashevski, but it certainly
didn’t fit in with WSC’s two pre
vious performances.
