Improving Webfoots
Out to Stop Luppino
By Jack Wilson

Oregon's Webfoot’s, intent. on
evening up their season's record,
will take the turf against the
University of Arizona Wildcats
before a homecoming crowd in
Tucson tomorrow evening.

the passing of Vaughn (Skip)
Corley and the running of Art
I.tippino in what should be a
hectic battle of offenses.
Third and rubber game in the
intersectional scries between the
schools, the contest will give
Coach Warren Woodson’s ’Cats a
chance to avenge the 39-21 lick
ing they received in Eugene in
1951. Arizona won the first game
in the series, 20-6, in 1937.
The Wildcat offense is built
around I.tippino, for obvious
reasons. As a sophomore last
year, the speedy tailback set
six national records, including
a total of 1359 rushing yards
and I6U points, second highest
total in 34 years of major
college football. So far this
year the agile I.tippino has
picked up 606 yards in 100
carries, and not only leads in
national rushing statistics, but
Is second in total offense as
well.
Corley’s passing arm and adroit
signal calling keeps defenses in
a state of confusion, allowing
Luppino to slip through for big
gains. Eighteenth among the
nation's passers, Corley has com

Clemson to two quick first period
touchdowns, enough to give the

Carolina in the teams’ 53rd state

The teams matched third and
fourth period touchdowns after
Clemson at one point had a 21-0
lead.

will strengthen an already-po

Johnson will run up against
hefty opposition to his starter’s
job, mainly in the 214-pound per
son of Sophomore John P-aventos.
Raventos has teamed with Cap
tain Lon Stiner in the starting
tackle jobs lately, and has given
an excellent account of himself.
The Duck bacliflfld looks

Fsual start ers include Tom
Crabtree at quart*!), thick

halves, and Jack Morris at full
back. But Fullback Fred Mik
laneik and Halfback Jack
Brown demonstrated first
string ability against the Gol

could break into the starting
eleven.
Already heavily favored, the
Webfoots could turn the game
into a rout if they find a way to
stop Luppino—-something nobody
has yet accomplished.
Injured Cougar Fullback
Star in '54, Drops School
PULLMAN, Wash. OB — Bob
Miller, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound full
back who was a triple-threat
sophomore sensation before the
start of the 1955 football season,
dropped out of Washington State
College Thursday.
The Downey, Calif., junior had
been hobbled by injuries and
failed to live up to his advance
notices. He had seen little action
since reinjuring a knee in the
Kansas game this year. Although
unavailable for comment. Miller
was believed disappointed in his
showing at WSC.
Coach A1 Kircher is left with
Bill Kramer, a senior reserve
who has moved into the starting
spot, and sophomores Ben Milam
and Clarence Copeland as under
study fullbacks.
Bob Iverson, the Cougar’s ace
passer, turned out Thursday and
didn't appear bothered by his bad
knee. He is now likely to start at
ouarterback against Oregon
State Saturday in place of Frank
Sarno.
SEATTLE i.B — University of
Washington football players
spent an afternoon Thursday
seeking more speed and power to
use against Stanford Saturday.
The stiff and lengthy workout
was the first real deviation from
three solid days of developing a
defense against the aerial might
of the Indians.
Coach John Cherberg said the
team is attempting to build
around the things it already does
well, "occasionally adding some
thing or tossing something out.”
He said “We don’t expect to
surprise Stanford with anything
unusual. I think they have us
pretty well scouted. The team
will have to do everything better
than it has done at any time this
season. Chuck Taylor has his
team rolling right now.”
LOS ANGELES iff!—1The Iowa
football team arrived by air safe
Iv Thursday and Coach Forest
Evashevski decided to call off a
scheduled light workout Thurs
day night in preparation for the
intersectional game with UCLA
Friday evening.
The Hawkeye pilot explained
that by the time the squad prac
ticed and got back to the hotel it
would constitute too long a day
for he players.
The UCLA Bruins went
through light exercises before
going into seclusion for the
night. They are still favored to
defeat the Big Ten invaders.
