stopping the San Jose type plays
directed at it and evidently did
n’t do too well as Coach Len Cas
anova described it as poor.
Passing Stressed
The offensive drill consisted of
both running and passing. Pass
receiving was stressed as usual,
and Casanova feels it is improv
ing. So far sophomore End John
Reed is the leading pass catcher
with nine. Back Dick James has
finaggcd five for second place.
San Jose State comes to Ore
gon with three wins and two
losses and with one of the top
rated running attacks In the
nation. The Spartans lost S4-14
to California last week but had
a 14-14 tie at half time.
Oregon Line Coach Vem Ster
ling, who scouted the Spa'rtan
Cal game last week, reported that
San Jose had a very capable team
but was simply worn down by
Cal. He also said the Spartans
played better ball than the score
indicated. With Cal lea/ling 21-14,
Coach Bob Bronzan’s Spartans
were threatening deep in the
Bear’s territory, but a fumble cost
San Jose a possible TD. The
S p a r t s were again threatening
when time ran out on them.
Touchdown Par&de
Primarily an offensively minded
team, San Jose has averaged four
touchdowns a game. Recent re
ports, however, indicate they have
been stressing defense to cope

far this season six touchdowns
have been scored on the Sparta
through the air, and Cal’s Paul
Larson passed with considerable
success against them Saturday.
Latest report on Oregon injur
ies show that soph Lineman Jerry
Nelson, out for three weeks with
a leg injury, will be able to take
the field, but that Fullback Cece
Hodges probably will not suit up.

Halfback James
Leads Rushers
By John Cary
Emerald Sports Writer
Dick James, the Duck’s sensa
tional sophomore halfback, didn’t
play very much offensive football
in high school, but this fact seems
a fallacy when you watch this 19
year-old Grants Pass lad in action
on Saturday afternoons.
At the present time, he is lead
ing the Webfoots in rushing, and
has also caught his share of
passes. For the first couple of
weeks, James was among the top
ball-carriers in the Coast Confer
ence.
The 5'8”, 170 pound James’ de
fensive ability needs no comment
especially if you saw him up-end
UCLA’s Paul Cameron early in
the first quarter of that rugged
contest.
Grants Pass Grad
Dick is a ’52 graduate of Grants
Pass high where he lettered three
years in baseball, one each in bas
ketball and track, and two in
football. His gridiron activities
were confined mostly to defense.
The diminutive James really
began to roll last year as a frosh;
in fact he earned four frosh num
erals, which is quite a feat for any
one. He played halfback in foot
ball, guard in basketball, threw
the javelin and high jumped in
DICK JAMES
Didn’t Play Offense
track, and hit around .270 as a
second basemar^ for the frosh
baseball team.
Ahead of Veterans
Graduating to the varsity this
year, James moved into the start
ing line-up at halfback ahead of
several varsity letterman, and has
performed like a season veteran in
every game. At the conclusion of
the football season, he will turn
his attention to the basketball
court, and then in the spring it'll
be baseball.

Bill Gamer, Beta Theta Pi A's
took two straight sets from the
Sigma Chi A’s by scores of 15-7
and 15-11. The losers, led by Kent
Dorwin's smashing returns, forced
the Beta’s to try six times before
they finally scored game point in
the hard fought second set.
Chandler Sogge and Larry Wol

men in the Beta's victorious cause.

the pressure really on, slender
Johnny Keller sparked the ATO's
back to life just in time to save
the contest.
