Now that another football season is in the history books, it's
interesting to loo!: back on a few sidelights and highlights.
In the matter of i.itcrscctional contests, Coast Conference
teams more than held their own against opponents from all
the major conferences in the country with the exception of the
Southern, Southeastern and Big Seven. The season score was
eight to five in favor of the Coast teams, with USC’s joust
with Notre Dame still to be played.
The coast broke even in six game with Big Ten representa
tives. The mid westerners’ victories were posted by Illinois,
over l Cl,A and Washington, and .Michigan State, over OSC.j
No shame in these losses, since they were to two of the coun
try’s three or four top teams.
(>11 the credit side, both Washington and Cal cleaned up
on lowly Minnesota, while Stanford beat Michigan early in
the season. Stanford, of course, is the I’CC Hose Bowl repre
sentative to go against Illinois on New Year's Day. Red Sand
ers, whose UCLA Bruins lost to both, is on record as saving
that Illinois can beat anything the coast can put up against
it. 'I hat’s to be seen. Stanford's beating at the hands of Califor
nia proves that the Indians aren't unstoppable.
Second Trip
Illinois, incidentally, will be making its second trip to the
Hose Bowl in the six-year history of the Big Ten-PCC agree-,
ment. Ray Idiot's Illini were the boys nobody wanted back in
I 'Mb, when Los Angeles sports w riters were up in arms because
Army vvasn t given the bid to face UCLA. Illinois proceeded to
prove its worthiness by belting the Bruins from goal to goal
all afternoon, winning 45-14.
The odds will be on the visitors again this year, with good
reason, we believe. Maybe the PCC will learn some day—and
the moon might turn to green cheese, too.
It’s also interesting to note that only by 4 minutes and 22
seconds did Oregon miss a tie with Washington for the con
ference cellar. That, of course, is if you don’t count Idaho,
which went 0 for 3 in its abbrevaiated schedule. A tie with the
Beavers would have given the Ducks and Huskies identical
1-5-1 records in conference play. As it was, they beat us out by
half a game, hardly the difference you’d expect from the 63-6
tormentors.
If they gave prizes for disappointments, the Huskies would
take the conference championship hands down. Not that they
disappointed this writer—it’s their supporters we’re talking
about, bans, that is. They managed to beat only Montana,
which should have know better, Oregon, which being in the
conference had no choice, and Minnesota, which may have had
lingering delusions of grandeur from the Bernie Bierman days.
Against class-A opponents the Huskies faltered, except for
their tie with UCLA.
Oregon Comes Back
And for comebacks, whose can top that of Oregon. The
Ducks’ stock was so low in mid-season that just talk of the
()regon State game brought tears to many an eye. Then came
the awakening against Cal and the dead-game effort of last
Saturday and the season was as great a success as if Oregon
had won half its games, instead of just two.
The credit for this must certainly go to Casanova, the rest
of the coaching staff, and the team, in equal measure. Not
since Jimmy I'helan assembled bis famous band of beardless
youths at St. Mary's during the war has the coast seen a major
tom so studded with voting players. One doubts that an older
team cotdd have had the resilience to bounce back from ad
versity that this bunch showed.
Youth Movement
The youth movement will pay off in coming years, unless
the lads let their grades go to pot and get themselves drafted
into Uncle Sam’s army. With their first year as proven varsity
players behind them already, freshmen like George Shaw, Hal
Reeve and the others still have three years of varsity ball to
look forward to. This crop of potential four-year men follows
just one year after the last four-striper from World War 11
days ended his career. That was end Rob Anderson, who
finished up last year. -
Rut hardly is one sport finished for the year when another
is ready to step into the spotlight, 'rims it is with basketball, on
which the curtain goes up this weekend in Portland, as far as
V Oregon is concerned. All eyes will be on the Ducks to see how
much success Bill Rorcher has had in molding a team with
only two first stringers left over from last year.
Friday Marks
Season Opener
With only four days remaining
before their first game with Port
land University, the Oregon Ducks
went through a spirited practice
Monday afternoon. Coach Bill Bor
cher juggled the 13 v'-.raity mem
bers continuously in an attempt to
find the right offensive and de
fensive combinations, and at the
end of the day there was still
doubt as to who would start on
Friday night.
The Ducks stressed offensive
practice on Monday, working
against various possible defenses.
Bob Peterson, Chet Noe, Mel
Streeter, Ken Hunt, and Bob
Hawes made up one squad while
Jim Vranizan, Ken Wegner, Keith
Farnum, Bud Covey, and Henry
Bonneman were their opponents.
Besides offensive drill, the team
also engaged in a full court scrim
mage and worked on ball control.
Winners Draw Places

volleyball league winners this af
ternoon In the IM office at 3:00
p.m. At this time drawings for

Attend Banquet

ramento Bee high school all-star
banquet tonight.

college coaches. Included are Kip
Taylor, OSC; Lynn <Pappyl Wal
dorf, California; Chuck Taylor,

sport effective this year.
Stanford Wins
Rose Bowl Berth
LOS ANGELES — (U.R) — Stan
ford, kingpin of the Pacific Court
Conference, was picked yesterday
to meet the Big Ten champion,
Illinois, in the 1952 Rose Bowl
game,
Stanford’s selection was an
nounced by PCC commissioner
Victor O. Schmidt. At 12:35 p.m.
PST two PCC ballots had not been
received but the Indians were the
choice on ail other votes received
up until that time.
The Indians selection was a mete
formality as UCLA’s upset defeat
of Southern California Saturday
eliminated any possibility of a
conference tie and a split vote.
Illinois was named as the Big
Ten’s universal choice earlier this
morning’ with its 3-0 victory over
Northwestern Saturday assuring
the Illini of the conference title
and the bid to the Rose Bowl. It
will be Illinois' second trip to the
Rose Bowl, having downed UCLX
45 to 14 in the 1946 game.
