Ducks, Arizona vie Saturday night Oregon's game Ducks, hoping to put the stopper on their longest losing streak since 1958, travel to Portland Saturday night to test the University of Arizona Wildcats in Multnomah Stadium. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. Arizona is undefeated in its last eight l>all games, with a tie in its second game of the season against nationally-ranked Ne braska the only blemish to the string. The Wildcats have a 2-0-1 record this year. The visitors will run from a spread, pro-type offense very similar to the one used by the Ducks. This formation is well suited to the abilities of Coach Jim LaRues corps of speedy backs as exemplified by their ^position as second in the nation in total offense. It's hard to point out any “men-to-watch'' in the Arizona lifteup, since they all could bear watching. “Jack-rabbit” Joe Her —nandez. the right halfback had I most of the preseason raves, but thus far he has fallen behind the torrid rushing pace of Bobby Lee Thompson, his running mate at left half. Thompson has carried the ball 37 times for a booming S.5 yards per carry. Anchorman in a light but hard charging Wildcat line is 19-1 pound senior center. Bob Garis. Giving Garis lots of help with his offensive chores will be little Howard Breinig. whom coach La Rue credits as having “the makings of one of the best block ers in the country.” Coach Len Casanova is still uncertain as to who among his injury-riddled gridders will start the Saturday test. Right now the | most likely guess for the back field spots would be Doug Post at quarterback. Mike Gaechter and Lu Bain at the halfs, and Jim Josephson at fullback. Ben Brown, who started last week’s Minnesota contest, might possibly replace Bain at the kick Probable lineups Arizona No. Player Wt.
