0Duc&07’mc£& “Sy 'PeteutoK EaunOd Sparta Wrttar If ever a team had the opportunity to play the role of spoiler - Oregon State has that chance this Saturday when the Heavers pre entertained hy Stanford in I’alo Alto. The Indians last . weekend had to pull one out of the fire against l.'SC, while the’ Saturday following their tussle with OSC they take or .their traditional rival, California. If they are going 1° '<-•! down at all, this Saturday would he the most likely time. A letdown certainly wouldn't come against Cal. “ But we don’t think Stanford will let their chances for the Kose Bowl be obstructed by the Beavers. Chuck Taylor’s men .could nail down a bowl spot if they beat OSC, and that may be incentive enough. This would also take some pressure off the Indians in the Cal game the week following. Bears Will Get Workout \\ bile Stanford is going through its paces against Sam Baker and company, I.vnn Waldorf's brawny Bears will be •sharpening tip for the Big C.ame against Oregon. ()f( the rec ov4|s this doesn’t give much promise of being anything but a (•workout for the Bears. I lie be t Oregon can hope for is that the Bears will throw the ball a bit, possible enabling (leorgc 'Shaw to tie the existing XCAA pass interception record for a single season. ' Shaw got his eleventh against Boston, we understand, which leaves him just one off the all-time high. That and the fact .that Oregon last week was sixth in the country in passing are the silver linings to the otherwise dark cloud that has been Oregon football this year. Oh, yes. There is also the two game winning streak the Ducks are working on here at Hay ward Field. If their home form runs true next week, Ilome yoming might produce a good battle. It All Depends "* It all depends which side of the fence vouYc-on department: Stanford' post-game remark concerning CSC: Hardest-hitting Jmt cleanest team we’ve played all sea-on. Contrast with the moan and groans out of Seattle and Berkeley after the Tro .jan- had administered a dose of Cannamella. Possibly they had a right to gripe, but as we said, a lot depends which side of the fence you're on. < And while we're not passing judgment on whether anybody’s right or wrong, it seems that a few sportswriters around the State are beating the dead horse when they can't refer to USC without mentioning the “illegal” touchdown the Trojans jcored on Oregon State. It was clear at the time and has be come doubly clear since that the best team won that game. " New Purity Plan Made (h er in the purity department, meanwhile, Washington’s 11. I’. "I tick" K\crest, vice-president of XCAA district 8, has announced a 12-point plan to dc emphasize football. The plan wiirgn before the XCAA at its winter meeting. i While the most eye-catching of the program’s points are found in the first four—elimination of spring practice, limits on number of games, study of the post-season game problem, land reconsideration of the free-substitution rule—the rest of the plan shows some thought to correcting the real abuses of ^football. A For instance, point 6 would, if adopted, dor.athletic eligi fbility to a student not admitted in accordance with regular ad *tnissiun requirements. Point 8 would "reduce undesirable re Icruiting activity." And point 12 would “give close attention to f-the curriculum of the athlete." Noble ambitions, but only a I starry-eyed visionary would look for complete adoption of the ■ plan. As a bold step in the right direction, though, it merits the Japplause of those who believe that football has grown too big I Tor its moleskins. PCC Schools Endorse Plan u At first glance, it's surprising that the plan was so heartily | endorsed by members of the I’acilic Coast Conference. Ten of • the proposals won unanimous consent, while two schools ob ? jecled to points 1 and 4, the spring practice and Irec substitu j tion planks in the reformers’ platform. It is likely, though, that *il the matters ever come to a vote in the XC AA, there will be ‘ .more than two PCC schools in favor of retaining the statu - quo. These things die hard. When California entertains Oregon this Saturday, it wil .mark the silver anniversary game of a series dating back tc 1899. In the 24 games played to date, the Bears have a 15-f £dj?e. But over the last 12 years the Ducks have managed t< ■ break even in eight games. They’ve yet to beat a Waldorf "coached Cal team, though. Salem Group 'Directs Clinic Mr. Fred Cords, Director of Physical Education at the Salem YMCA directed a volleyball clinic Monday night at the intramural courts for volleyball players repre senting all men's organizations on the campus. Accompanying Mr. Cords wer< Dale Dates, captain of the Salem "Y" team, and Eric Schuberg, a player on the team. Cords corrected the players on each mistake and showed them I the Official volleyball rules. Cords gained his volleyball abil | ity while attending George Wil liams College, and coached the Dong Beach YMCA team in 1947. The same team went on to win the National Volleyball Championship , in 1948. Everett Peery, Director of In tramural Athletics here, arranged for the clinic. Peery stated that he thought it necessary, as volleyball | is the largest intramural sport, I counting the most points toward the final intramural championship. Officials will call all games ac j cording to the rules stated by i Cords at the clinic. ATO Downs Betas (C ontinned from pone fou. ) it u litt!«• closer in the second (jamc, hut lost again, 15-11.

Up until yesterday, Coach Borcher's hoys had been pounding away at the fast break and the man-for man offense but then “something new was added.” The first team to try the zone cracker consisted of Bob Peterson, Chet Noe, Mel Streeter, Ken Hunt and Bud Covey. At first they naturally seemed rusty and out of place but as prac tice wore on they caught on and were progressing rapidly when the drill was called to a halt. After working on this zone of fense, the Ducks ran through three on-two and two-on-one offensive \ breaks and half court drills. In one of these drills Coach Don l Kirsch provided a potent scoring punch for his wildcats against a group of picked opponents. The contest was a wild and wooly one. displaying fine spirit and aggres siveness. Only two weeks remain before Oregon plays its first game of the 19f>l-]952 season. The squad has improved immensely since the be ginning of practice about four! weeks ago, and should be in fine shape to tackle the Pilots of Port- i land University.
