The field will be soggy, but thrills should be plenty. And despite the importance of this crucial contest, any meet ing between these two teams brings back their memorable struggle of 1932 on the same Multnomah stadium. The field was soggy that day too, and the thrills terrific. “Iron Mike” Mikulak, Mark Temple, Bill Bowerman, Stan Kotska, and company were juniors that year, and they descended the southern slopes of the stadium bowl intent’ upon remaining in the conference race with only a tie marring their record. I Webfoots Led, 7-6 The Lemon and Green machine was ready to claim that win, too, for with but one play remaining in the ballgame they held a slim, but apparently secure, 7-6 lead. They had played winning ball; they were the victors in the first 59 minutes and 50 seconds. ; That w;as another of those memorable; football contests, however, that proved the game is never over until the final gun, for with but that ten.seconds remaining to play the Uclans had the ball on their own 17 yard line. Mike Francovich, now a network sportscaster* wras in that Bruin backfield. ^ "Pants" Livesay Came Through It was “do or me” as he took the ball and faded back, back far into his own end zone, and then he let fly. He hit a sophomore end appropriately named “Pants” Livesay on the’ UCLA 17 and “Pants” was off. He tucked the pigskin under his arm and was off down tjie sidelines and through the puddles for a’ mighty six points and a victory—a 77 yard pass and run on the last play of the game final score UCLA 12, Oregon 7. That was 1932, and this is 1946. The Bruin is a topheavy favorite. The Westwood team should win handily. Before the day is done, however, the thirty thousand fans may again resound to the thrills of a pigskin battle, thrills that will once again snatch victory from defeat and make the loser the winner. - ti
