The gloom that hit the Scrins- field camp when big Don Coombs, 195-pound tackle, moved away was short-lived when it was dis covered that Coombs had moved into a non-high school district and was still able to attend the Miller school.

Both boys were sprint ers on the Springfield track team which won the district champion- snip ia spring. Vernon Hand seems to have the inside track for the blocking back position. Hand is a 165-pounder who played right half during the final games of last season. The right half position will be a fight between Merle Nice, reserve letterman last year. Earl Thlenes and Barrel Stands ge. Thienes was a nerve halfback last year and bat shown plenty of kicking and blocking ability in recent practice sessions although he weighs only 145 pounds. Standage is a trans fer from Los Angeles with two years of Class B football exper ience. He weighs 155 pounds. The Millers are assured of a dangerous passing attack with cap able passers in both Seaman and Todd, The receiving end of the attack will be well taken care of since both of last year's regular ends are back.

Although the Stanford Works On Defense For Ducks PALO ALTO. Calif.. Sept 20 C) .Stanford's Rose Bowl cham pions took to the defensive today and tried stopping the plays Ore gon is expected to use against them in next Saturday's football opener here. Coach Clark Shaughnessy said the scrimmage would be the last of full-dress character until the game. He had no comment en it, as he was absent during the prac tice. , While the varsity worked de fensive, the reserves were de ployed against the freshmen en an adjoining field. Neither side displayed much power on the of fensive. A shift in eositlen moved Leren Laprade, 320-pound star center of the WO trow, to nini guara. Then he will share duties with Jack Francis and Ed McCain, men in line for these positions are all lettermen they were not regu lars last year. The right half position and one of the tackle positions are the only other posi tions without regulars from last year. The blocking back position wss weakened by the graduation of Jerry Perdue, a Lane-Dsuglas all star. Both regular guards are miss ing due to the graduation of Allen Kirk and the . absence of Lee Brown, who dropped out of school. Others lost were Ed Jordan, last year's captain who was out with injuries much of the season giving Lee Todd plenty of experience at the fullback post, John Keezer, regular tackle, and Hal Thomp son alternate at left half. The Millers under the tutelage of Fix and Paul Johnston, new assistant coach from Oregon State, look like a team that may go places with a few breaks.
