Steve Ready for Trojans
.STEVE DOTUR, Oregon’s left tackle, who will punch holes in the
Trojan line in Saturday’s Eos Angeles tilt. Dotur, one of the originals
fn the Duck 1947 “Iron Man” line, will weigh about 220 pounds for
the contest. Big Steve is one reason why opponents have had a tough
time cracking the Duck forward wall this season, and he is figured to
have his eye peeled for USC hacks.

To Battle Men of Troy
Oregon’s 37-man gridiron con
tingent took to the airlanes this
morning en route to Los Angeles
where the Ducks will do battle with
the Men of Troy Saturday after
noon. The spirited Webfoots went
through a light drill on their home
practice field Thursday.
Coach Jim Aiken, who has
brought his charges past the half
v. ty mark of the current gridiron
campaign without squad-disrupt
iug injuries, has steamed up the
Ducks to a red-hot mental-physical
tempo for the big game.
Bookmakers have established the
Trojans as slight favorites, but ev
er. “smart money” is divided in Us
affiliation.
Recalling their dismal 8-7 loss to
the 1948 Webfoots, Southern Cali
fornia’s Trojans are equally pepper
ed up for the Coliseum tussle. Ore
gon will try to catch USC ‘‘on the
bounce" after their 16-10 loss to
California last week.

schools that the Ducks have turned
the trick.
The Trojans, bolstered by 25 re
timing lettermen, suffered only
ane conference defeat last year,
that to Oregon. Jeff Cravath has al
ways had some mental trouble with
:iis USC squad. They are tradition
ally slow starters, but rugged at the
;nd of the eason. Notre Dame piays
the Californians in the last game of
their season. The Irish could gain no
more than a 14-14 tie a year ago
against this same USC club.
The Ducks are anxious to
make a renewed impression on
the Coliseum critics. Their first
showing there this year found
them helpless against UCLA.
Concerning possible victory or
lefeat at Los Angeles on Saturday,
Aiken maintained his usual cau
_ious, businesslike attitude. His
anly comment — ‘‘We’ll make a
janae of it.”
