The rains came. As if in answer to an Oregon prayer, the rain fell Saturday iike manna from heaven, turning Hayward field into a quagmire, treacherous underfoot. The Ducks, laughing gayly as the deluge pounded like buckshot on their shoulders, plunged into the thick of the muck and mire, fired-up with the intention of chastising that insurgent Bruin within an inch of his life. The Bruin, con founded and perplexed with the oozy, unstable turf, and un certain and unnerved by the eel-like slipperiness of the pig eon, cursed the weather and dreamed of his sun-kissed lair to the south. Yes, the-elements, on one of the most turbulent rampages of the year, had a lot to do with the upset which dethroned the premature Rose Bowl hopefuls from Westwood. Yes. on a dry field things might have been a little different—-surely the scores would have been higher. But, hold on there! It wasn't the uncontrollable weepings of Jupe Pluvius and the sponge-like greensward alone that turned the trick for John Warren’s clan. Par from it! Ducks Moke Great Stand Did you ever see a gang of boys show such gallant deter mination and fight against overwhelming odds? They played like anything but a second-division club who had just salvaged one rather unimportant win out of a lot of five. There was no dejection or remorse among them over these earlier losses. Past mistakes were forgotten. The task thing at hand was tfie important thing . . . and believe you me, those Webfoots J'ne through like real champions! Dark clouds of gloom hung over the Oregon bench when the scintillating Uclans Started things off in their best offen sive manner, as the elusive A1 Solari threaded his way 72 yards on the opening kickoff. This 170-pound mite, loaded with greased-lightning, after hobbling the ball momentarily on the two, scooped it up and with the dispatch of a greyhound hit for the west sidelines. It looked as if he was away but that tenacious little Bobby Reynolds (bless "imj, decided also to show off some of his speed, overtaking the turf-pounding Solari, piling him up on the Oregon 26. Dejection was the rule in the Oregon stands, but wasn't even given a look-see by these plucky Ducks. After Solari cir cled end for three, ball-hefting Bob Waterfield, the dangerous l:ke tosser, dropped back for a flip. Surveying the field, Wat erfield picked his man and threw. Reynolds Comes Through a But “Bobby-on-the Spot" Reynolds also had been sizing ewJthe situation, saw Waterfield’s aerial zoom throught the ether. The next thing people knew, Reynolds was clutching the ball to his bosom and dashing upfield. That dissipated Uclan threat number one. On just two more occasions were the Bruins able to cut any swath in the stalwart Duck defensive unit. They scored on this third drive when Waterfield finally got a good grip on that slithery oval and found the range. The play was from 1214 yards out with the scampering Solari going over. The score culminated a 67-yard drive. Although Tommy (Laughing Boy) Roblin and Bobby Reynolds were leading ground gainers, you couldn’t pick out any single individual as the kingpin. They were all “hot.” Roblin's Terrific Legs The power packed in those stubby legs of Roblin is noth ing short of terrific. Must have a small dynamo in each one. Seems like you can't say enough about this Reynolds boy, ot score, after catching a Bobby Reynolds pass. Halfback A1 Solari attempts to haul down the driv'ng Shephard.
