Oregon and Oregon State collapsed pitiably on
the gridiron Saturday and suffered rose-scenteci
visions to dissipate into nauseating illusions.-Up
in Pullman Washington State’s Cougars out
anticipated Lon Stiner’s clan of Beavers from
Corvallis, 7 to Q, and tore the hearts out of the
lads, who just two weeks previous, had scurried
around like a pack of conniving grease monkeys
and flung every kind of wrench into the engine of
Stanford’s jalopy. On a treacherously-slippery-in
fiptfts Los Angeles coliseum turf, UCLA’s fam
ished Bruins, unimpressed by Oregon’s sound
thrashings of USC (20 to G) and California (19
to 7), and’unda'unted by the. hugeness of the green
giants from up north — UCLA was out-scaled
about 12 pounds per man—shoved a threatened
Webfoot blit/ in reverse and crushed the lather,
14 to 7.

believable. Practically the entire first half
was a boring and excruciating account of
UCLA exploding with a tremendous roar ev
erytime it got the ball to finally peter ont

In all tludr, booming around during the game,

uprights for the seventh point.

score," et cetera.

What are people saying about the tilt? Well, Dick
Friendlich pens in the San Francis^ Chronicle: "Tex
Oliver’s Webfeet . . . were about as close to the Rose Bowl
this afternoon as they ever will be. Pasadena is, I believe,
only a few miles away, and there is nothing to keep the
Oregon players from taking a street car out to the Arroyo
Seco tonight and looking over the stadium. They won’t
get another look at it this year, believe me."

Results of Saturday’s gridiron eruptions: Stanford is
king of the mountain, with Oregon, Oregon State, Wash
ington, UCLA, and USC lodged just one ridge below.
Everything happened last weekend—WSC nicked OSC, 7

over Washington, 13 to 7; California smothered USC, 14

UCLA Deplumes Ducks
Underrated Bruin Topples
Webfoot's Bowl Dreams
By WALLY HUNTER
Hopes for an Oregon conference championship took a ride Sat
urday at the expense of UCLA’s twice-thrashed Bruins—but the
ticket went only one way, and it was labeled oblivion—the Ukes paid
for the Webfoots’ ticket with two iightning-like thrusts in the third
quarter that left the bewildered Ducks on the short end of a 14 to 7
score.
It was the Bruins and the QT
the whole way, except for a brief
spurt in the second quarter, when
tire YVebfoots roared through the
UCLAN defense from their own
31 to score. At half time they
still held a 7-0 lead but it was
short lived.
Taking the halftime kickoff
the victorious Bruins numbed
the Oregons with a 70-yard prom
enade that was climaxed on the
21-yard stripe when a sub end
snagged a pass to score. A con
version tied the score and that
was the last time Oregon was in
the ball game.
Mecham Shines
Halfback Curt Mecham, who
looked like an All-American ev
ery inch of the way, had one of
his towering punts returned for
60 yards in the same quarter—
and this put the clincher on the
game for Babe Horrell's men. The
mail was deposited on the two
yard line, at the climax of the
downfield trip, and from here a
slot was punched in the Oregon
forward wall through which a
Bruin back rambled.
This affair climaxed fhe Ore
gon drive for the league leader
ship and sent glimmering all
hopes for an Oregon team in
the Rose Bowl for while the
Ducks were muffing their
chance Oregon State was tak
ing a terrific lacing from a
powerful and underrated Wash
ington State outfit.
UCLA had a tremendous ad
vantage in yardage gained—235
yards to the Webfoots' 116 and it
was the punting of Curt Mecham
that kept Oregon out of the holes
most of the game.
Students who work their way
through school—about 60 per
cent—at the University of Texas
average better grades than their
non-working colleagues.
Conclusion from a recent meta
bolism test at Texas Technologi
cal college is that mountain-born
coeds should eat more than those
.vho come from the prairies.

Upsets Soften Stanford’s
Road to The Rose Bowl
By HARRY GLICKMEN
Sneaking of unsets, and who
isn’t after Saturday’s amazing
round of them in coast conference
games, this dreaded of all football
outcomes has practically paved
(he way for Stanford’s second
consecutive championship and
Rose Bcwl journey.
Before Saturday’s games five
teams were tied for first place
with two wins and one defeat
apiece. After Saturday’s games
Stanford stands alone at the top
of the ladder with three wins and
one loss. Five teams, Oregon,
Oregon State, U.S.C., Washing
ton, and U.C.L.A., are tied for
second with two wins and two de
fats. Washington State, with
two wins against three defeats,
and California, with one win and
two defeats, are next in line.
That’s the summary of things
after upsets took their toll in
conference games. Only one team,
Stanford, ran true to form. They
defeated Washington, but that
can be termed an upset also, for
the Huskies were the pre-game
favorite.
Nothing short of a miracle can
keep the Indians out of the Rose
Bowl now. Paced by Frankie Al
bert, Stanford defeated Washing
ton by a score of 13 to 7 before
a huge throng at Seattle to gain
undisputed leadership of the
league.
^At Pullman Washington
State scored upset No. 1 by
thumping Oregon State, 7-0.
The Cougars made an 81-yard
drive for a touchdown in the
first quarter, and maintained,
the iead while staving off sev
eral Beaver drives.
Upset No. 2 came at Los An
geles where U.C.L.A. exploded its
Q-T and bounced Oregon by a
score of 14 to 7. The Bruins had
things pretty much their own
way, leading in every depart
ment. Oregon scored in two plays
in the second quarter and led at
halftime. In the final half the
Ukes scored two rapid touch
downs to win the game.
The California Bears man
aged to win their first confer
ence game of the season with
a 14 to 0 victory over U.S.C.
to post upset No. 3. The Bears
scored in the second and final
cantos to win the bitterly con
tested game.
In the non round-robin games
the Idaho Vandals, looking better
with each start, routed Willam
ette by a score of 33 to 6, and
Montana, trailing until the fourth
quarter, defeated its traditional
rival, Montana State, by a score
of 23 to 13.

Ducklings Work
Against Varsity;
FeldmenOut
After their weekend conquest
of the Washington Babes, John
Warren’s freshman football squad
was a lively bunch of ball players,
as they began a two weeks’ prep
aration for their second and
final game with the Oregon State
Rooks, November 7, in Corvallis.
Two players, both of whom
have started the two Duckling
tilts, were missing from Mon
day’s drill. One of them, Marty
Feldman, big right guard from
South Gate, California, was lost
to the team for the remainder
of the season when he suffered
a broken leg in the Babe en- ,
counter. Although serious
enough to keep him on the
sidelines the rest of the present
football year, Feldman didn’t
realize he had broken his leg
until the following day.
Davis Out
Bill Davis, pile-driving fullback
from Grants Pass, was also ab
sent. Davis is nursing an infect
ed foot, but is expected to be in
The rest of the squad was fa
voring the usual bruises.
Although the FroSh broke
.through and smashed a four
year losing streak with the
Husky Pups, their traditional
foes, the Rooks from Corvallis,
also did a little point-manufac
turing of their own. The Baby
Beavers played the Portland
University frosh Friday night,
and while holding the Pilot
freshmen to two scores, crashed
over for four touchdowns them
selves.
The Warren men drilled with
the varsity on defense Monday,
with part of the outfit having a
little dummy scrimmage. Heavier
work is slated later in the week.
Two Attend Conclave
Dr. Hugh B. Wood, professor of
education, were in Salem last
assistant professor of education;
and F. L. Stetson, professor of
education, are in Salem this
weekend attending the state high
school principals’ conference.
