Frosh, Rooks to Meet Today
Ducks Prepare
For WSC Game
Under a leaden sky and on a
muddy field, the Oregon varsity
units rolled up and down the
practice field Thursday, drilling
for the Saturday contest with the
Washington State Cougars.
George Shaw piloted a back
field of Dick James, Jasper Mc
Gee and Lloyd Powell while
Johnny Keller quarterbacked
Tom Crabtree, Walt Gaffney and
Larry Rose in offensive maneu
vers.
Alternating medium^range
passes with effective line
plunges, the first and second
squads marched back and forth
in a dummy scrimmage session.
Also concentrating on kickoff
and punt returns, the Ducks
girded for their Saturday at
tempt to defeat the Cougar team
for the first time in five years.
The Cougars boast a good
backfield with sophomore Bob
Miller and junior Bob Iverson in
the vital spots, along with the
PCC runner-up in rushing, Duke
Washington.
Last year, in a game at Pull
man, the Cougars notched a 7-0
win over the Ducks. The last UO
win came in 1948 when the
Ducks walloped WSC, 33-7.
For the past week, the A1
Kireher-coaahed Staters have
been working against the chief
Oregon offensive threat, the
passing and running of George
Shaw.

Ducklings Work
For Third Win
To End Season
Aiming for an undefeated sea
son and its third straight vic
tory. the Oregon freshman foot
ball squad moves into Corvallis
today to meet the winless Ore
gon State Rooks in a 1:30 en
counter on ancient Bell Field.
The Ducklings ran through fi
nal maneuvers Thursday prior to
the Friday morning bus trip to
the OSC campus. A 39-man team
is making the trip for the year's
final game.
Frosh mentor Bill Hammer has
picked Eugene's Jack Henkel to
open at the vital quarterback
post. Others in the backfield will
be Jim Shanley and Stacy Gib
son at the halfback spots and
J. C. Wheeler at fullback.
Frosh I.ine Announced
The forward wall will have
Milt Blevent and Ken Klauer at
the ends. Tom Hale and John
Raventos at tackles. Steve Bige
low and Vern Scott at guards,
and Norm Chapman at the pivot
spot.
It was Henkel who rambled
for two touchdowns in the Rook
game at Eugene two weeks ago
to give the Ducklings a hard
fought 13-6 win, while Shanley
tallied twice each in last week’s
26-6 win over the Grays Harbor
Junior college eleven.
Since the Duckling game, the
Rooks have dropped a 14-9 de
cision to the Washington Husky
Pups in a game at Seattle, but
are expected to be at full
strength for the UO game.
Injured Kooks Ready
Two first-line performers, half
back Dick Edwards and end Tom
Wulker, both out with injuries
in the Pup game, will be ready
to go for Coach Dick Twenge
against the Ducklings.
A touchdown pass from quar
terback Sam Wesley to end Bob
DeGrant produced the only Rook
score in the Eugene clash, and
Hammer has been drilling his
forces on pass defense all week.
Hammer vowed his team would
“do its best” against the Rooks
and praised the squad as a whole.
Also drawing plaudits were as
sistant coaches Bob Baisch, Cece
Hodges and Tom Winbigler.
