Webfoots Fly to McDonalds Farm! By PAUL POLSKY Emerald Associate Sports Editor Head Coach Len Casanova, his coach ing staff, and squad will depart at 1 p.m today for a Saturday date in Boise, Idaho with the Idaho Vandals. Cas reports he will take 44 players, but will be without the sendees of full back Arlan Elms and possibly wingback Scott Cress. Cress sustained a badly sprained ankle early in the week and his condition is still uncertain. Oregon Sports Information Director Hal Childs called Cas Thursday morning and reported that the weather was warm and quite good. However, Childs also said there was a 20 per cent chance of rain for Saturday and that a high school game is to be played tonight on the same field. Stop McDonald Cas reports that his main concern this week is finding a way to stop All-Ameri can Ray McDonald, the tailback, and full back Butch Slaughter. McDonald at 6-5. 248. is quite a for midable runner once he reaches full speed. He also has bruising power into the line and breaks many tackles. Slaughter is 5-9. 190 and a two year letterman. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry in 1965 and like McDonald is a tough, hard runner with good speed. Asked if he feared the Vandals' size, Cas replied with a very affirmative, “I sure do." "They're not slow either,” added Cas. He mentioned that in the Idaho-WSU game a Cougar back got loose for a long run and a lineman some ten yards behind from the start actually gained ground on the fleeing halfback. Vandals Dominated WSU "They have had some disappointing games: they should have won last week,” related Cas. The Vandals dominated their WSU game, the statistics, and the ball, but came out on the short end of a 14-7 score. The Cougars scored late in the game to win. "They’ll be hungry for a win, but we are too,” Cas added. Cas also mentioned the fact that the Vandals have a solid team overall but do lack a little bit in depth. He said the Vandals are a lot bigger than Air Force, but he is not sure about their quickness. Looking at some of the other Vandal personnel, and 15 of the 22 starters are lettermen. Cas noted quarterback John Foruria as plenty dangerous. "We have a lot of respect for him; he is a good runner, and has been a good passer.” Foruria didn't play against the Ducks last year in Oregon's Homecoming game because he was sidelined with a punc tured lung suffered against OSU. The 6-2, 195 pound, two year letterman gained 408 yards total offense last year, com pleting 24 passes for 200 yards, in four games. Foruria is an erratic passer and has completed less than 35 per cent of his tosses this year but has averaged close to 14 yards a completion. Murrell, Miller Knds His main targets include Manny Mur rell. a speedster from Dong Beach, and Ray Miller a 245 pound, 6-5 tight end Although each has good moves and fine speed the Vandals are not noted for their air attack. Oregon's starting backfield is basically the same as last week, with Mike Barnes at quarterback, Kent Grotc at fullback, Steve Jones at tailback, and wingback Roger Smitli if Cress is unable to go. The Duck line will probably remain unchanged except for Roger StaUhut whe is still a little stiff from a back problem, Booters Slate Active Weekend Oregon’s Mallard soccer team hosts Reed College tomorrow at 2 p m. on the men's P.E field.

I didn’t keep abreast of your feelings If I had, I would have realized that you wish to not only know what my amazing predictions are, but also how I arrive at them. So, once again. Til introduce the five brain system which made its famous appearance three weeks ago, but unfortunately—to the com plete chagrin of everybody in the populated world—went out the next. I hate to do this, you realize. That’s why I dropped it in the first place. Making predictions takes all of my time—save 185.9 seconds for eating and 1.227 seconds for sleeping—from game termination time the one Saturday to Emerald Press Time the following Thursday. But I’ve been getting thousands of letters per hour these past two weeks—some postmarked New York, others Saigon, and all with only the letters “PP” on the envelope—so public demand forces me to submit. I'll be a little sleepier and five pounds thinner because of it, but the public is my master—and what they say, I do. Most of you know what my five brain abbreviations are all about_ but since there are people who missed out on my column three weeks ago by not ordering the column (in the form of the Emerald) at least two months in advance, I’ll explain it again. An ‘A” preceding the favored team means all my five brains (and this time I won’t describe how each of those brains function) agree on the choice, and the team is consequently a unanimous choice of my cerebella. A “B” before the favorite means it was just a con sensus (4-1) choice, and a “C” naturally enough means a split deci sion—a 3-2 choice. So, here we go. Last week we went 26 right, 8 wrong for .765. This week we’ll do even better. (A) OREGON 6 over Idaho—Ray McDonald couldn't get untracked against the so-so Duck defense of last year, and definitelv won't against the superior defense of this year. Mike Barnes will pass them silly. (B) OREGON STATE 2 over WSU—But don’t put this one in the bag Beaver coach Dee Andros will probably start Paul Brothers— (Continued on page 5) this new cart holds a sockfull of savings . . . stocking news you need!
