W~ W U'WUV I By DAVE ANDREW In the wake of last Friday's ragged scrimmage, Michigan's football team pounded through a grueling two and a half hour workout in preparation for Satur- day's opening encounter with powerful Oregon. The Ducks, easy 33-6 winners over Idaho last Saturday, and last year's 11th ranked team, come Tennis Tryouts Tennis Coach Bill Murphy announces that freshmen ten- nis tryouts will be held on the varsity courts from 4 to 6 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He asks that all Fresh- men tennis players report. to Ann Arbor with a big, fast and experienced team, and Wolverine Coach Chalmers "Bump" Elliott expects plenty of trouble. Scouted Oregon Michigan this afternoon had the benefit of a scouting report from Saturday's game, but the advan- tage gained by such a report may well be lost in, the fact that Oregon will have the first game r jitters out of their system. But regardless of that, Quarterback, Dave Gross, the best at Oregon since Norm Van Brocklin, and 5' 3%" scatback Cleveland Jones lead the Ducks and can be counted on to give the Wolverines some anxious moments. With only a couple of days left to ready the squad for the Ducks, Elliott sent the team through a short defensive scrimmage against Oregon's split-T offense, and then worked on polishing his offense in a dummy scrimmage., John Halstead, one of last years Trak Sta Reports Late One Michigan athlete will be a little late in starting his classes this fall as he is a member of the Eastern Canada Junior champion- ship lacrosse team. Bryan Gibson, senior letterman for the Wolverine track squad, is playing with the Ontario lacrosse team that earlier this month cop- ped the eastern title and is now playing for the national crown. The finals for the Canadian national championship are being held at New Westminster, British Columbia (near Vancouver), and at last report, the best-of-seven series was tied 1-1. Gibson plans. to be back in Ann Arbor late this week. starting ends, dressed for practice yesterday for the first time since the opening practices. He had been out with a knee infection. However, because of the long lay- off, it is still doubtful whether or not he will see any action Satur- day except possibly in a place- kicking role. Other than Halstead and the usual number of bumps and bruises following a heavy scrim- mage, Michigan's physical condi- tion as a squad is good, and bar- ring any late injuries, the Wol- verines should be near full strength for the opener. Elliot was plainly disappointed with the dreary performance the Michigan gridders put on Friday in what will be the last full-dress scrimmage before the Oregon con- test. Although the regulars triumph- ed over the reserves, 37-13, Elliot termed the workout "thoroughly unsatisfactory." "We'll have to improve a lot before next week," he added. BACK IN ACTION-Michigan's football fortunes took a turn for the better yesterday with the return to action of letterman end John Halstead. Halstead, who had not dressed for drills since the opening days of practice, will probably see only limited action in the Oregon game this Saturday. CONFERENCE ROUNDUP: Big Ten Clubs Prepare For Openers by The Associated Fres EAST LANSING-Coach Duffy Daugherty started a regime of rest for the weary at the Michigan State football camp yesterday. The top three units were spared from contact and ran against dummies, polishing plays, in the afternoon practice. s COLUMBUS - Ohio State's Bucke$es yesterday began pre- parations for their 1960 debut with Southern Methodist Univer- sity this Saturday. The only absentee of any conse- quence at the -Bucks' workout to- day was sophomore end Bob Mid- dleton, who has been out with an injured knee. It's hoped he will be able to resume work by mid- week and be able to play Satur- day. IOWA CITY-Iowa polished its football offensive and defense in a two-hour workout yesterday.

LAFAYETIT,-Concentrated de- fensive tactics in preparation for the UCLA game highlighted the Purdue workout yesterday and aerial coverage was stressed. Coach Jack Mollenkopf's wor- ries were increased when sopho- mores Walter Zing, quarterback, and Roy Walker, fullback, and junior guard Robert Foster were ruled definitely out for the UCLA opener because of injuries. The No. 1 left end, Jack Elwell, is listed as a doubtful entry due to a sprained ankle. - - MINNEAPOLIS-Minnesota bore down on its ground game yester- day in search of offensive power to shoot at Texas-conquering Ne- braska. Out the Gophers' No. 1 back- field ran without one of its hardest sockers, fullback Roger Hagberg. An ear infection held Hagberg out of today's workout but is expected to clear up in time for Saturday's invasion of Nebraska.
