Though ' somewhat crippled,
Spec Keene's Bearcat football
juggernaut is not expected to en
counter much trouble In ' its
Northwest conference battle with
the Linfield Wildcats at McMinn
ville. tonight
The 'Cats, unscored upon In
three games while running op
an aggregate count of 97 points,
may be without the services of
Teddy Ogdahl, star "man -in -motion"
right halfback, and
may not have fall strength
from Tony Fralola, fiery guard,
but still rate to hand their
Baptist neighbors quite a beat
- ing.
Ogdahl is nursing an injured
ankle and a severe cold, while
Fraiola is still hampered 'by a
pulled muscle. Gene Stewart,
regular left halfback, and Ken
Jacobsen, regular quarterback,
may also be held out because of
minor injuries.
Keene announced his start
ing .lineup would probably be
Bill Beder and Marvin Good
man at ends, Martin Barstad
and Nell Morely at tackles,
Fralola and Gordon Moore at
guards, Jim Burgess at quarter,
Buddy Reynolds and Chuck
Furno at halfbacks and Al Wal
den at fullback.
The Linfield team is largely
comprised of freshmen, including
Don Hagedorn, ex-Silverton high,
at left halfback.

Ohio state last week, still lin

In a surprise move, Coach Oli
ver sent word he was flying into
