Gaucho Line Hefty Santa Barbara boasts a squad of some 20-odd returning lettermen, [headed by Quarterback Glen Mul laney and Center Frank Kirkland, plus a flock of eager newcomers. Williamson is developing his squad into a deceptive offensive unit, with emphasis on passing. The backfield is expected to be light but fast, and the forward wall is rated to average around 200 pounds. This game with Oregon will be the first of a rugged 10-game schedule for the Gauchos, and will be the first time in the history of the college that a Santa Barbara eleven scheduled a PCC power.

Oregon Football Fortunes Rise, Fall During Summer; Poll Consensus Rates Webfoots Strong Third in PCC Judging from the professional football prognosticator's choices, the University of Oregon Ducks should finish the 1948 football sea son in the number three spot in the Coast conference. The Webfoots have been picked anywhere from first to as low as fifth by various experts, but generally they have been listed behind Lynn Waldorf’s Golden Bears and the USC Trojans, bossed by Jeff Cravath. One of the most interesting polls that was carried on during the summer was one that questioned all the Coast conference coaches, asking them to pick final confer ence standings, excluding their own team. All the coaches did this, with varying degrees of courage. Two, Jim Aiken of Oregon and Lynn Waldorf of California, listed their i choices right down the line. Then, running to the opposite side, Doug Fessenden of Montana lumped to gether six teams for the top spot and left the other three tied for seventh. Most of the remaining coaches picked one to four teams for the number one position, and frequently bunched the rest in one group. In the consensus of this poll, the VVebfoots ranked third, California nabbing the top slot with Southern Cal ranking second. Only one coach, Waldorf, ranked the Ducks worse than third. Waldorf picked the Ducks for fifth.
