o O Friday, August 19, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEIC SIPODIMrS Jack Morris Gives Ducks Speed at Full; Chapman Ambitious Soph at Center o (Editor's Note: Thi la an other in a scries on the pros pects of Pacific Coast Con ference football teams for the 1955 season.) Eugene, Ore. (U.R) The Ore gon Webfoots, stripped of mighty George Shaw and 13 other let termen, will field a green team this year that may be short on victories but definitely long on speed. In fact, Coach Len Casanova Si thinks his 1955 squad may pack w innrp velocitv than last year's contingent which finished third in the PCC standings. Hnwpvpr. Cas doesn't harbor 0 any illusions about moving that far up the ladder again, loo manv other clutch performers departed with Shaw such as right guard Jack Patera, leit end Hal Reeve, right hallbacK O Walt Gaffney and right tackle Keith Tucker. (i) A major weakness is lack of 0 a good passer, something new o to a team which has sported the o likes of Shaw and Norm Van Brocklin. O However, there is solidity amons the 4 returning letter Q men. Halfback Dick James, a fleet runner who was ninth among the national scorers in O 1954, is back, as are end- Phil O McHugh and tackle Lon Stiner Jr. "I think these three boys will vJ doa pretty good job, Casanova Q says. o Plenty of Halfbacks W - i t,nlfU.lr spot while a seven man battle rages for the other between four iuniors and three sophomores. Junior Dick Pavlat has the edge on experience there 28 minutes fr,of varsity ball. Mere speed is at fullback where ibphomore Jack Morris O Is expected to move in after four years in the service. Morris is a good kicker and has gone over Othe 220 yard low hurdles in 23.3. O O o o o G 0 0 O (T) 3 o o 3 3 Washington Park Features Swaps Chicago (U.R) Five challeng ers were expected to be entered today for a battle against Rex Ellsworth's Swaps, unbeaten as a three-year-old, in Saturday's 45th running of the Washington Park $100,000 added American Derby. On grass for the first time, the race will be run at a mile and three sixteenths, and should all aix horses start will gross $146,429, with a purse of $89,600 for the winner. A seventh horse, Calumet rarm't Trentonian, had been re garded: as a likely starter until he finished second In a prep race Wednesday. Chief Challengers Rated the most likely chal lengers to Swaps Saturday were Clifford Moore's Traffic Judge, victor in four of 11 starts this year with earnings of $113,289, and W. L. Ranch's Honeys Alibi, winner of four of 19 starts with earnings of $74,362. Willie Hartack will be In the race, aboard Mrs. Harvey's Freuhauf's Parador, slated to carry 113 pounds. Other prob able entries were Hasty House Farms Summer, Solstice, 133 pounds and jockey Johnny Adam, and Mrs. Harry L. Na thenson's Ambiguous, also booked for 113 pounds and to be ridden by Steve Brooks. Jockey Willie Shoemaker, running neck and neck with Hartack for riding honors of 1955, was to pilot Swaps. Tom Crabtree, a former half back, apparently has first call on Shaw's old quarterback spot followed by John Keller. Both saw plenty of action there last year whenever all-purpose Shaw would switch over to halfback or end. McHugh figures to handle Reeve's left end position with George Slender and Bruce Wenn junior transfers from Santa Rosa and Boise angling for the right flank. Defensive. Personnel The line lacks key defensive personnel aside from the young Stiner, who is expected to re claim left tackle, and center Art Weber. Harry Johnson probably will move in to Tucker's vacancy at right tackle. He played 135 minutes last year. Reanous Cochrane will seek to take over Patera's spot at right guard while sophomore Harry Mondale and veteran Spike Hillstrom joust for left guard. Another ambitious soph is Norman Chapman who eyes the center spot held down by Weber. Despite lively competition for , jobs, however, Casanova agrees ; there is no substitute for experi- j ence.
