Conference Pack Paced by Huskies’ Turbulent Surge University of Washington Hus kies are expected to continue lead ing the pack after final guns go off today in hotly contested frays among cousins of the Pacific Coast conference, as Beavers from Ore gon State, drop lower in conference standings. Huskies Lead Pack Five victories and one defeat for a percentage of .833 give the Huskies a clear view of the rapidly approaching Rose Bowl tilt New Years Day. The Washington eleven has tallied a total of 73 points against a total of 40 scored by opponents. Of the 40 points scored against the Huskies, California boomed out. one afternoon for 27 of them. The only other teams to cross Washington’s goal line are the Beavers, Webfcots and the Trojans. Each team made one touchdown and Southern Cal com pleted a conversion attempt to come within a touchdown of knot ting up the final count. A well developed backfield of suc7i ground-gainers as Gordy Hungar, Leo Trask, M'aurie Stacy, and Norm Sansregret. One of the main cogs in the forward wall is captain Bill McGovern, a great line backing center and a clever defen sive signal caller. Down south today the still —.mighty Trojans and the Golden Bears meet in the Los Angeles stadium. Although run over by the Gaels last week 26-0 the defending coast champs will be in top shape for the encounter. In the first meeting the boys from Troy turned California back 13-2 and should do it again if they don’t have an off day. Possessing the beefiest line in the conference and having better backfield material to wrork with leaves the Southern Cal clan on top. Injuries to Beavers Gloom prevailed on the Oregon State campus this week as star right half Bob Reiman was an nounced as not likely to play against the Huskies today at Seattle. Coach Lon Stiner also told eft rfi rl* rl* rti «-t» tin rt% rt-» At A rli A r the sports world that Murl Ander son, alternate quarterback, would also not likely be able to start today. Beaver coaches are concen trating efforts in molding a granite front wall that will give the four backs plenty of support when they want to go travelling. A superior playing Washington line kept the Orangemen in check in the initial encounter and knocked Stiner’s backs for some large losses. Besides the Oregon-Washington State fracas, the only remaining big game of the week is the Fourth Air Force match with the Personnel Distribution Command of Greensboro, North Carolina in the L. A. Coliseum Sunday. Both of these elevens are rated high in service team standings and will afford an intresting afternoon for California fans. .. <■.v.v.yrvTwyrcryrr Left end, Dale VVarberg snatches a fast flying hall from mid-air. Dale has been on the receiving end of several touch down passes. A promising wing man, he will be of great value to Coach Oliver today. The Dope Bucket 4.* *4.***.) By Tom Riley There is a little let up in this week’s grid schedule in com parison with a week ago—remember? Oregon vs. Washington State This makes Oregon's seventh game this season with no let up. Washington State lias the advantage of the home field, which incidentally is snow covered. With the hope that Ore gon can push three or more touchdowns across in the first half, I pick Oregon by 6. Army vs. Notre Dame The big' game of the year, Army lias yet to be beaten through two seasons of play and until they are. the}- rate to win no mat ter who they play. Army by three touchdowns.
