I lie school that ‘plays football for fun" and wins, too, prob
ably will be added shortly to the University of Oregon foot
ball schedule for 1953. San Jose State, the institution that no
longer lures athletes with scholarships, but nonetheless came
up with six wins and three defeats last season, rounds out
" !*at should he Oregon s most interesting grid menu vet of
fered.
And gaining a place on the Webfoot schedule at Eugene’s
Hayward Field is a real break for the Spartans, whose po
sition in the football world is a bit unstable now that their
natural rival from Santa Clara has given up the ghost. The
Broncos cancelled out of intercollegiate football after tak
ing two consecutive seasons of whippings at the box office,
despite an attractive schedule.
As a result of the Broncs’ fold-up, the Spartans’ list of games
was reduced to five signed contests—Brigham Young, Col
lege of I acific, 1're-no State, Stanford and Arizona State
(Tempej. San Jose Publicist Danny Hill may have been talk
ing with tongue-in-cheek w hen he was quoted as saying, “San
Jose will play football if it has to play junior college oppo
nents." Obviously San Jose would rather play Oregon than
San Mateo JC for the prestige if nothing else.
'Encouraging Reactions'
At the time of Santa Clara s collapse Hill said tliat “we are
negotiating with two more Pacific Coast conference schools
(Oregon and thS other presumably, California,) which now has
two open dates, although we aren't at liberty to announce
those now. Jlill continued, “we have had encouraging re
actions from several schools for games in 1954 and 1955 and
we think we can look ahead to playing on a major basis, even
without scholarships.”
Coach Bob Bronzan of the Sparts merited rave notices
from th* Bay press by coaxing his “play for fun” boys
through those six wins, and ironically there was specula
tion that Bronzan might go to Santa Clara after the res
ignation of Dick Gallagher, who rejoined the staff of the
Cleveland Browns of the NPFL, It might also be added
here that one California paper reported that Oregon’s As
sistant Football Coach, Jack Roche was high on Santa
Clara’s list.
Por the record. San Jose, a co-edufational school some 50
miles south of San Francisco with an enrollment above the
0,000 mark, defeated; San Diego State. 47-6; Arizona State
of Tempo, 21-14; Fresno State, 40-6; College of the Pacific
26-21; Brigham Young, 44-27; and Montana, 39-20. The Uni
versity of Colorado Buffs trimmed SIS, 20-14 in the opener;
Chuck Taylor’s Stanford Indians dropped the Spartans, 35-14;
and Santa Clara upset the San Jose eleven, 15-7 in the Drones’
swan-song production.
Six 'Home' Games
So not only did Oregon Athletic Director Leo Harris put
the finishing touches to that appetizing home slate of UCLA,
Idaho, Oregon State, Southern California and Washington,
but he made friends or cemented friendship with the Spar
tans, who ought to be ever grateful. The more Pacific Coast
conference teams the Spartans play means a more representa
tive schedule for them and more recognition nationally. And
the more recognition they gain the easier it will be for them
to fill out subsequent schedules.
Ihus, the 1953 Oregon football schedule is as follows:
Sept. 19—Nebraska at Lincoln, Nebr.; Sept. 26—Stanford at
Palo Alto; Oct. 3—UCLA AT EUGENE; Oct. 10—Wash
ington State at Pullman, Wash.; Oct. 17—WASHINGTON
AT PORTLAND; Oct. 24—SAN JOSE STATE AT EU
GENE; Oct. 31—SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AT PORT
LAND; Nov. 7—IDAHO AT EUGENE; Nov. 14—Califor
nia at Berkeley; Nov. 21—OREGON STATE AT EUGENE.
Football schedules for 1954 and 1955 arc either close to
completion or official. Next year’s is as follows: Idaho at Spo
kane, Stanford at Portland, Utah at Eugene, California at
Berkeley, Southern Cal at Portland, open date on Oct. 23,
.Washington at Seattle, UCLA at Los Angeles, Washington
State at Eugene and Oregon State at Corvallis (in the new
Beavers’ Stadium).
Another Schedule
1955—Utah at Salt Lake City; Southern Cal at Los Angeles;
Washington at Portland; Colorado at Eugene; California at
Portland; Arizona at Tuscon, Ariz.; Idaho at Eugene; Wash
ington State at Pullman, Wash.; Stanford at Palo Alto and
Oregon State at Eugene.
Genius of the year 1952—it must be Harris who talked USC
out of a coliseum date this year and talked them out of trans
fering the 1954 game to Los Angeles.
