Jayvees Down Beavers 19-13 v Holland Pitches Oregon Junior Varsity to Victory Over Orange Juniors By John Whitty Sharp passing on the part of Barney Holland, combined \viih fine plav on the part of the Oregon junior varsity linn. resulted in a 19-13 upset victory for the Ducks over the slightly tavored Oregon State ]V’s oii the Wehfoots' field, Friday. Holland’s i.asses accounted for two touchdowns, as well as for 1(>7 of the 224 yards gained by the Pucks dur ing the game. Part of the credit for the suc cess of the Oregon passing game must go to the tight pass pro tection given Holland by the Web foot line, which effectively kept the Beaver defenders away from the sophomore quarterback. On the receiving end of most of the passes were Merritt Barber and Chuck Greenley, each of whom made several excellent catches during the afternoon. OSC I'ses Air The State JV squad also relied on the air route for a large part of their yardage, as Gordon Brown and Chuck Brackett hit 7 of 23 passes for 175 of the 242 yards chalked up by the Beavers. The visitors’ first touchdown came in the second quarter on a pass from Brown, standing on his own 35, to iAird Brattain. Brattain picked the Pall from the air on the Oregon £0 and romped the rest of the way to score standing up. The try for }>oint was wide, and the score re -mained 6-0. There was no further scoring nntil the third period, when the Pucks went wild, scoring three times while keeping their oppo nents well away from the goal •line. Slover Recovers Fumble The first Oregon TD was set -up when Center Jim Slover re covered Deraid Jenkin's fumble of a punt on the Oregon State eleven yard line. On the next play Bar ney Holland spotted Chuck Green iy in the end zone and hit him with one of his bullet passes to knot the score at 6-6. Harvey's placement for the extra point was wide and the score remained tied. Oregon's next tally also came a result of the Beavers' mis handling of the ball. Duck line backer Bob Wilcox hit Gordon Brown with a bone-crushing tac kle. causing him to drop the ball. Alert Oregon tackle Ray McLeod foil on it on the Webfoots’ 45 yard line, and the Duck offense started to roll again. Dean Van Leuven picked up nine yards, and a few piays later he rambled across from the 22, to put Oregon ahead, 12-6, The Ducks again failed to make the extra point, and their margin remained at a mere six points. Webfoots Tally A few minutes later, however, the Webfoots scored again. The Beavers were forced to kick, the boot going out of bounds on the Oregon 29. Two plays later Coach Bowerman's boys scored again to make the count 18-6. The first was a pass from Holland to Barber, which placed the ball on the State 10 yard line. Holland followed this up with another toss, this time to halfback Ferrell Albright, who caught the ball on the 25 and plowed the rest of the way to score. Pat Curtis' kick gave the Webfoots their 19th and final counter, and the third stanza ended a monent later. Beavers Behind This left the Beavers with a 13 point deficit to be made up in eight minutes, and they could gar ner only seven of the necessary counters. These came on a 3 yard plunge over center by Brattain, following two gallops of 10 and 13 yards by Tommy Little. Gordon Brown ran the ball across for the extra point to make the score Oregon State 13, Oregon 19.

'Big Crash' Hits College Football Ranks; California Tops List of Fallen Miqhty NEW YORK — 0J.R) — The col ):ge football world was without a ' king” today following Saturday’s mass crash of the mighty. four great powers went down, including California—the nation's 1 team. And to complete the picture, once-great Army lost its fourth straight game and its first to Harvard in a decade. As a result of the “The Great Crash,” eight major unbeaten teams were contending for the no. 1 rank. They were Tennessee, Michigan State, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Maryland, Baylor and Princeton. Tennessee, probable heir to Cali fornia’s rank as the nation’s best, heat Alabama, 27-13, as Hank Hauricella threw two touchdown passes and scored another.. Michi gan State won its fifth in'a row, coming from behind to beat Penn : State, 32-21 and Georgia Tech downed Auburn, 27-1. But the big story still was the crash of the mighty. The most stunning of all was California’s 21-14 defeat at the hands of the University of South j ern California before 18,000 fans in Berkeley’s Memorial Coliseum. Cal ifornia, ranked first in the United Press’s board of coaches’ ratings, suffered its first defeat in 38 reg ular season games as the under dogs overcame a 14-0 half-time deficit to win one of the roughest games ever played in Memorial Coliseum. The victory not only sent Cali fornia spinning out of the ranks of the elite, but made Southern Cal | the number one choice to represent the Pacific Coast Conference in l the Rose Bowl on New Year’s day.
