Huskies threaten Webfoot victory streak Hy MKKV HI'UTA Emerald H ports Editor Watch out (Oregon! Thom* heavy, huge, and hulking Huskies from the University of Washington are coming up next Saturday In THE big game of the 19ft 9 acaaon, to be played In Mult nomah Stadium. Although they loot to Southern California l a a t weekend, coach Jim Owena’ aquad pone a the moat formidable opp<ment the Ducka have to face all season. An all-Junior lineup that combine* speed, toughness, and UII ability to stop the opposing team’s offense makes up the Washington squad, and has car ried the Huskies to four vic tories and only one loss—w hich came at the hands of one of the country's five top-rated teams. The Huskies and Ducka have played two common foes this year, and the results give an in dication of what Lcn Casanova’s players are up against. Both teams defeated Stanford, the Ducka by a 28-27 margin and Washington by a 10-0 score. Washington would seem to show more on the defense but less on the offense than Oregon If this game is used as a basis for com parison. However, a look at the com parative results of games with Utah gives a much different pic ture. Both M|uad« hfld the IW *kln* to *lx point*, but whllr the Duck* chalked up 21 point*. Washington neared 31—• dif ferenre of five touchdown*. Washington ha* used a dan gerous running attack to gain most of its yardage, and has gone to the air only occasionally, scor ing several times via the pass route when the ground attack has slowed up. The Huskies have a very cap able signal-caller in Junior Bob Schioredt who graduated from Gresham high school in 1957, and forsook the Oregon campus for Seattle. Schioredt took over for the in jured Bob Hivner early in the season, and has done such an ex cellent job that it is doubtful if Hivner could get back into the starting lineup if he wanted to. The Oregon-raised quarter hack scored both touchdowns against U8C, and guided his team to the 17 in a last-period threat that stalled when so phomore Jim Everett threw in to the hands of a Trojan de fender. Top threat In the Washington backfield is George Fleming, a speedy 180-pounder who has kick ed several field goals and leads the Huskies in point-making. Ray Jackson and Don McKeta round out the starters behind the line. Up front, the Huskies boast a sizeable group that will probably outweigh the Duck line. Ends Stan Chappie and Pat Claridge weigh 219 and 192, re spectively, while tackles Kurt Gegncr and Bill Kinnune scale 205 and 215. Barry Bullard, an ex-Marshfield star, spells Gegner with his 225 pounds in the second team line. Guards Chuck Allen and Jack Walters are 205 and 185, and center Roy McKasson also scales 185. The backfield is fairly heavy, with no starter under 180. Of course, Washington sub stitutes in platoons, and their depth Is another factor the Ducks will have to reckon with. The Hu.sky second-stringers have shared playing time equally with the starters. Oregon will have at least one advantage over Washington, though—speed. LET'S HOPE SO! OrcKon’t WHtfooU take on the rugged Wash ington Huskies Saturday in Portland, and Duck* can boom them selves Into national prominence with victory. Washington, how ever, has won nine of last ten games since 1949. (Emerald cartoon by Tom Denhart i The Huskies are big, but are not noted for their flectness afoot, at least in the line. Oregon had great success with wide plays against Air Force, and if they can get outaide the Washington ends, the Huskies may be the ones who will have trouble. The Webfoot offensive show against Air Force was quite a sight toasee, and it'll take qnite an effort by Washington to slow them up — the Ducks seem to be getting more po tent as time goes by. Past scores would indicate that Oregon will have more than a fair share of difficulty in tripping the Seattle squad, as the UO’s only win in the last 10 years was a 26-7 decision in 1954. Perhaps the best-remembered game in recent times was the 1957 contest in which Oregon’s bowl-bound team was upset 13-6 by a fired-up group of Huskies that took advantage of numerous Duck mistakes to score an unex pected win. - Last year in Seattle, Husky halfback Luther (Hit and Run) Carr took a screen pass 37 yards away from the goal line and threaded his way through the en tire Duck team to score the game’s only TD as Washington won 6-0. Oregon passed a Tot in that one, throwing 40 times and com pleting only 15. Let’s hope the Duck passing attack will be a bit more effec tive this year. If Oregon’s running attempts are stopped, it’ll have to be. Sales — Parts — Service HANSEN BROS.
