Experience HOME OFFICE EUGENE Jacksonville Will Field Green Team Jacksonville Inexperience and a meager turnout has been a handicap in preparations of the Jacksonville high Redskins for their 1955 gridiron season. The Redskins open Thursday night at Phoenix. They were to have met the Crater junior var sity last Saturday but a power outage at Central Point forced postponement of the scrape. Daily turnouts here have been running 15 to 18 and Coach Fred Richardson has just five lettermen, only four of whom so far have been out for frills. Regular jobs and fire fighting have kept gridders away from practices. Jacksonville doesn't figure to have too many hands on deck to go against Phoenix. Positions in Doubt Most positions for the Thurs day fracas were still in doubt today. Only three backfield slots were fairly set. The backs are Bob Guches, ' senior, and Clyde Smith and Gary Hueners, jun iors. Only lineman reasonably sure of a starting job is Eldon Smith, an end. Fourth letterman currently out is John Allen, sophomore, who is being moved from tackle to center. Gary West, junior guard who wears a letter, has not yet joined the squad. i Richardson has a predominant ly sophomore-junior crew. Other games lined' up for Jacksonville this year are Pros pect at Central Point on Sep tember 29, at Rogue River on October 7 Talent at Central Point on October 13, St. Mary's at Medford on October 22 and Illinois Valley at Central Point on October 29.
