A look at the: opening day football turnouts at the various
Pacific Coast conference schools illustrates just how tough
it will he for Oregon to field a team that will have the depth
to compete on even terms with most of the other schools
in the conference this year
Oregon s nrst team, hacked
ti|> by a few outstanding re
serve-., is probably as good as
any on the Coast, but the
Ducks lack the numerical
depth boasted by tlie larger
schools in the conference. Dis
counting Idaho, Oregon had
the smallest turnout in the
conference for the opening day
of practice.
()nly 45 Duck h o p e f u 1 .4
turned out. in contrast to a
whopping 92 prospective gri ri
ders at the University of Cali

Southern California coaching
staff greeted HO players.
UCLA had 72 and Stanford
f>9. The turnouts at the other
Northwest schools were some-.

The University of Washington had the largest opening

Washington State had 57 and Oregon State greeted 56 men.
Idaho never had more than 39 men in uniform at one time
during its fall practice sessions and could he in for its most

Oregon's "sleeper’’ Webfoots
went through “fairly light” drills
Thursday In preparing to be wide
awake for Stanford under the
lights of Portland's Multnomah
stadium Saturday at 8 p.na.
Attempting their second con
ference win in as many tries,
Coach Len Casanova's “team-to
watch” Ducks will have a notice
able vacancy in the fullback de
partment with Jasper McGee and
Larry Hose crippled with injuries
received in last weekend’s 41-0
rout of Idaho.
Pullbacks Shallow
Senior Fullback Dean Van
Leuven, third man in the Ore
gon pile-driver section, will
start against the Palo Alto
Indian*, although Rose will
probably tie available for ac
tion later In the game, accord
ing to Trainer Bob Officer.
The chances of McGee’s per
forming were dim at mid-week
workout time, but Casanova said
11 h a t the sophomore standout
might play. Rose is recuperating
from a hurt shoulder and McGee
had a rib cartilage separation.
Favorable football weather re
ports have led experts to predict
a passing battle. The fine ap
pearance of Webfoot aerialists
last Saturday lends the statistical
P
edge to Oregon. Three of the four'
Duck quarterbacks — George
Shaw, John Keller and Don Holt
passed for touchdowns and the
fourth, Wally Russell, completed
two out of three.
Stanford compiled only 83
yards through the air as com
pared with Oregon’s 291, but the
Indians had their hands full with

College of the Pacific and had to
depend on their ground game in
edging out a 13-12 victory.
The Cardinal and White de
fense was outstanding, however,
and Coach Chuck Taylor’s grid
ders were tops among PCC clubs
in first week pass and total de
fense statistics. The Indians al
lowed the Tigers only 31 yards on
passing and held their opening
opponents to 108 net yards for;a
first place defensive total of 130.
Graduation Losses Hurt
All-American quarterback
Bob Garrett’s graduation and
the loss of front line ends 8am
Morley and John Steinberg
via tbe same route hurt the
Stanford pass attack, but Tay
lor is depending on sophomore
quarterback John Brodie and
Jerry Gustafson, a Junior vet
eran from Astoria, to hurl
against the Webfoots’ impos
ing passers. Junior End John
Stewart is named as one of the
Cardinals’ top receivers.
Casanova’s charges spent the
week sharpening offensive and
defensive maneuvers after view
ing movies of the Idaho game.

filming publicity shots of Duck
workouts for pre-game informa
tion when the Webfoots go on a
national television hookup with
Southern California Oct. 16.
