nian, who lias completed 33
passes for .VX) yards in two
panics so far this year, is cur
rently engaged in a red-hot
battle with Sophomore Hob
Cox for the starting 'pot. Cox,
who was a sensation as a
freshman last year, alternat
ed with Ledcrman last week
end against Michigan and di
rected the only sustained
drive that the Huskies put on
all afternoon.
Cox hasn't run up the im
pressive completion and yard
age totals that Ledcrman has,
J but lie hasn't yet had the op
^ portunity or the experience
that Ledcrman received last
J year on the varsity. Ledcrman
"ill probably start against
Oregon State Saturday in
J ortland, but tlie* Washington coaches plan to alternate the
two throughout the game, just as they did against Michigan.
Coach Johnny .Chcrberg feels that the two rpiarterbacks
call for a different type of ball game,, and that the change in
style from one signal-caller to another tends to make the
job tougher for the opponent’s defense. No matter who Cher
berg decides to start, it’s a decision any other coach in the
conference would love to have to make.
