Van Brocklin Leads NFL Aerial Artists Norm Van Brocklin, Oregon’s great quarterback and passing sen sation of two seasons ago, leads the professional National Football Lea gue in passing today. Van Brocklin, in his second cam paign with the Los Angeles Rams, took over the leadership after his spectacular performance against 1:he Detroit Lions last Sunday. In that game he completed 13 out of 17, including five good for touch downs. His 1950 record now stands at 84 completions out of 151 attempts 0gr a total gain of 1,452 yards and ■13 touchdowns. "The former Duck’s rise to prom inence has come in spite of the fact «t!hat he started his pro career as an •mderstudy to Bob Waterfield, ac •kaiowledged to be one of the finest passers in the play-for-play ranks. Van Brocklin’s passing has been iihe big reason for the Rams’ rise to second place in the National Divi sion of the NFL. It also helped End Pom Fears to take over the pass re ceiving honors. He caught six;Sun day to raise ahis total to 36 catches ■for 568 yards. Iftodeo Date Changed 'The intercollegiate rodeo at Salem next weekend has been changed to Saturday and Monday.

NORM VAN BROCKL.IN Beavers Seek Second Victory Against Bruins After racking up its first victory of the campaign at the expense of the Montana Grizzlies here last weekend, Oregon State’s improving football team faces another tough ie this Saturday when it tangles with the UCLA Bruins in the Los Angeles Coliseum. While the Beavers were scoring their initial victory, Red Sanders’ Bruins were gaining additional prestige by whipping Purdue, 20-6, at Lafayette, Ind. It was UCLA s fourth victory in six starts this fall. The Westwooders are still very much in the running for the PCC crown with only a one-point loss to Washington marring their confer ence slate. Although it will be a case of two single wing teams against each other, Sanders’ version of the for mation is entirely different from Orange Coach Kip Taylor’s. The Bruins operate from a balanced line while the Beavers run from an un balanced line and shift into the sin gle wing from a T. Last year the Bruins were one of the three clubs to defeat OSC. Taylor's biggest problem this week is how to get his men ready to play on the lightning fast coliseum turf. After a week of constant rain, Oregon State’s practice field is un der several inches of water. think: I'm , I TH6IR , WJrtCN fie- PMW5 DEFENCE ® H6 MAS A CAT UKB SfeN*E OP M DlA^NOSlMci PIE OPWNPMT j « f'kAyS, FREQUENTLY 0ffo'AN5 1 INEM UP WITH AH iNTetfCEPTiON.

B. Chandler said Wednesday the Pacific Coast Lea gue probably will be moved to a higher classification, possibly 4-A before the start of the 1951 season. Chandler said a committee named to study the Pacific Coast League’s request to be taken from under the annual draft has decided to “give relief to the Pacific Coast League as the facts^ justify. Such relief may result in a higher classi fication, possibly 4-A, under the na tional association structure.” By remaining in the national as sociation structure, the PCL would stay on as a minor circuit under the jurisdiction of George M. Traut man, president of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues. A committee composed of Del Webb of the New York Yankees; Trautman, Chandler and Branch Rickey, former general manager and president of the Brooklyn Dod gers, reached the decision, after a long hearing. The Coast League was represent ed by President Clarence (Pants) Rowland and Attorney Leslie O’ Connor.

IM Volleyball Action Marred By Forfeits Holland Works As Ducklings Show Drive A long, heavy scrimmage ses sion was served the Duckling foot ball squad Wednesday afternoon as it continued to prepare for a Nov. 11 meeting with the power ful Washington Pups at Eugene. In addition to the Washington con test, a return engagement with the Oregon State Rooks remains on the Frosh schedule. Coach Bill Bowerman described the drill as “a good, hard work out marked by the best spirit we’ve shown so far this season.” Morris Throws Quarterback Barney' Holland did *£ the throwing as con siderable time was spent in an ef fort to achieve a smooth passing attack. Versatile Jack Morris al so tossed several successful passes from his halfback spot. The pair aimed the majority of their aerials at Halfback Cece Hodges, who has moved into a starting berth, and Ends Charles Soderberg and Neil Tardio. Ifendig Moved Max Kendig, used as a center until now, switched to right tackle during the practice and worked both on offense and defense. He performed well enough to secure a straight berth at that position. We don’t know the answers. We’re not sure we’ll find any. Don’t hold your breath. By Jack Clement Intramural action Wednesday featured defaults and lop-sided vic tories. French Hall and Hunter pro vided the former by failing to show for their contests.

Sigma Nu came home with a con vincing 15-7, 15-7 win over Stan Kay. The Sigma Nus supplied plen ty of power and Stan Ray wilted un der the blistering attack. The Fijis, walloped Cherney, 15 1, 15-3, to cut another notch in the win column. The Phi Gams were — never in trouble and put thei pass ing attack to good use in smother ing the Cherney boys. Delta Tau Delta emerged on the victorious side again by trimming Chi Psi, 15;2, 15-8. Although the Delts hit a stumbling block in the second set they pulled away in fine fashion to win the last set. Kappa Sigma and Nestor Hall won by default over teams from French Hall and Hunter Hall re spectively.
