It won't be because their pass defense falls them like It did against Hood River last week. Or, at least It shouldn't be. If ever a football mentor drilled his charges on the art of knocking down a pigskin designed to connect with an opposing end or back. Coach Bill Bowerman of the Tigers has cer tainly been doing Just that every day this week. For 45 minutes dally the second stringers of the Tornado squad have been firing aerials into the territory patrolcd by the Messrs. Bowman, Ettlnger, Grow, Campbell, Bayllss and other regular backs. At the same time. Root, Montelth, Wil son, Miller and other flankmen have been driving ir from their end posi tions, rushing the daylights out ol the football pitcher, a maneuver that usually causes much unhapplness in the passing party. May I'se Air. Also, from the locks of yesterday's workout, It appears the Tigers may he planning to fight fire with fire, forward pass with forward pass. Rose burg Is a pass-flinging aggregation, no doubt about it. Against Lebanon last week, they connected three times for touchdowns, all through the ether. Yesterday. Coach Bowerman sent his outfit through light scrim mage sessions on the practice field, and Ettlnger and Campbell were cut ting loose with plenty of forward tosses. Several long shots found the arms of Jack Bowman, and the llashy halfback strode to what would have been scoring ground In a regular ball game. Eldon Grow, the reformed guard, who has been having a little trouble getting his knees up and his head down In the customary fullback manner, looked good. He ripped ofl several long gains through the mid dle. The blocking appeared better, also, as did the ball carriers on wide sweeps. They clung pretty close to their Interference, a matter which was conspicuous by being absent against Hood River. Try Punt Formation. The regular backfield. which con sisted of Giow at full. Ettlnger and Bowman at the halves, and Campbell, quarter, ran more than several plays from punt formation. Bowerman stated earlier in the veek that he believed running plays from that formation would click. Of course, the Tigers are not saying goodbye to thHr colorful Notre Dame shift. The new running formation Is to be ised only on occasions: the old back field style will remain with the quartet, shifting at times and putting the ball In play without a shift at others. Regular line spread out with Root and Montelth at the ends. Dan Ehr hart and Hubert Santo at the tack les, Wally Erl and Oene Archibald at the guards, and Prentice, center. Although suffering from a couple of broken fingers recetved In the Hood River encounter. Ehrhart will see considerable action against the Rose burg club.
