Huskies threaten Webfoot victory streak

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.

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.
