Ducks Favored to Cop First Traditional Battle Since 20-0 Win in 1940 By FRED TAYLOR A grimly determined band of Oregon gridmen, primed to end seven fruitless years of intrastate battling, tackle the Oregon State Beavers today in the annual “Civil War’’ struggle on Hayward field. Kickoff time is 2 p.m. A homecoming crowd of 20,000 will be on hand to see the favored Webfoots attempt to end Beaver dominance. Not since 1940 has an Oregon eleven scored a victory over their cross valley rivals, but the Ducks are being given a seven point mar gin by dopesters to break into the win column today. Cold Weather Predicted Hopes for a victory were given an additional boost by the weatherman, who predicted continued clear, cold weather for today’s tilt. This means Oregon will have full use of both the ground offensive and the potent aerial attack, and the firm I footing of Hayward field promises plenty of fast-moving action. Seven Webfoot gridders will be donning the lemon and green for the last time when they face the Staters in the traditional fray. A trio of the seniors, Jake Leicht, Jim Newquist, and Bob Koch, ace backfield stars, have been named honorary cap - tains for their final appearence. From the line will depart four stalwarts. Wingman Larry Stoven. Pete Torchia, and Wayne Bartholemy, and guard John Kauffman are all slated to see action today in their last game. Win Streak on Block The Ducks are putting a five game winning streak, the longest victory string since 1933, on the block today. Boasting a season’s record of six triumphs against three defeats, two to non-conference opposition, the Eugene eleven still has an out side chance to finish in a tie for first place in the coast con ference. If UCLA beats USC today, and Oregon wins, the i three squads will be tied with identical league records of five I victories and only one defeat. Oregon State's hot-and-cold Beavers enter the game with a record of four and four. The Beavers have had a mediocre sea - son, after having been tabbed one of the top teams on the coast early in the year. A short ceremony in honor of Colonel Bill Hayward, retired veteran Oregon track coach, wil be held preceeding the kick off. Today’s game has been dedicated to Colonel Hayward, al though it is not certain that he will be well enough to attend. Weight Edge to State The Staters have the advantage of superior weight over the Oregon club. The Duck forward wall is outweighed, 212 pounds to 208 pounds for the host eleven. Oregon State Backfield men. are also bulkier, weighing 191 per man to an average 186 for the Webfoots. Oregon is in top physical condition for the battle. Every man on the squad is ready to go, and even Bill Abbey, who retired from action over a month ago to nurse a head injury, is expec ted to play.
