Am wondering, as I watch the members of this "best football squad" in Willam ette's history crawl into berths for their last night's sleep before tackling the big Vandals of Idaho at Moscow Saturday aiternoon, Just how much opportunity they have of knocking over the kings-x Coast conference club. WW Waltxin' Al Walden be able to bowl through 'em and will Baddy Reynolds be able to pitch the football over 'em at these two Willamette offen sive threats have done to lesser competition thus far this sea son? . . Moreover, will the exceptionally strong Willamette defensive, which has allowed but seven points to be scored against It and which has held five opponents to" a net yardage loss, be able to anywhere near a effectively hold the raaile daszle attack of Francis Schmidt's team? On paper, at least, this Idaho team doesn't figure to be any bet ter. if as good, as the Tony Ca- nadeo-paced Gonzaga team which the underdog Willamettes of 1940 thoroughly outplayed on Long view s log-iestoonea ueia, oniy ... - i . i to lose by a 7-6 margin. . . Fur ihormnro thi la the same Wil lamette team, except that it is a year older and therefore more ex perienced and better equipped. First on Turf This will be the first time this season on a turf field for the Wil lamettes, and whether this will impair or aid Spec Keene's man- in-motion offensive is problem atical. . . While a fast, grass grid is ideal for this deceptive attack, the fact that the 'Cats aren't geared for turf may appreciably throw their all-important timing off enough to spoil the necessary deception. . . However, the Bear- eat backs are fast as they needs must be to function .from the man-in-motion formation a n d will be even speedier on a grass plot Doable wing football, such as Is employed in the main by Idaho, is said by such college adherents of the single wing or short pant formations as Spee Keene to be the easiest to stop of any. . . Latest defensive mea . sure against the - double wing and its incessant single, double ' and fake reverses, is a diagonal line charge in which the de fensive linemen all charge into their opponents at the same angle and then hold, instead of toying to go on . through. This type of line play is de signed to lessen the danger of mouse-trapping and in a measure mix up the blocking in such man ner that the offense can't put two cn one so effectively. . . Too, one defensive - lineman is charging Into the hole just vacated by his teammate in his diagonal charge, thus plugging up the gaps as they charge and hold. . . The Bearcats, no doubt, will employ this method of line play against Idaho's double wing.
