    Ducks Leave tor Palo Alto
As Favorites Over Indians
Hodges Doubtful
Coach Lcn Casanova sent his
Oregon football squad through a
routine offense drill Wednesday
afternoon as the favored Duck
gridders finished their preparation
for the Saturday tiff with the
Stanford Indians at Palto Alto.
Although spending almost all
of the Wednesday session on of
fense, Coach Casanova expressed
Concern over stopping the Stan
ford attack. The Indians’ fine
passer and quarterback, Bob Gar
fett, has received most of the pub
licity, but Casanova noted that
the Stanfords have an effective
ground game, led by veteran Half
back Ron Cook.
Another factor to be noted W
the extent to which the Indians
are pointing toward the Oregon
contest. Last year the Ducks
“upset” the Cards 21-20, and
the losers will have the added
Incentive of a 25-20 loss to Col
lege of Pacific last Saturday.
The Stanford coaches will be
ready to throw everything they
have into this week’s fray.

'Cook'ing Up Trouble
RON ( OOK, Stanford's hard-running halfback, will be on the picket
line Saturday when the Indians attempt to hatchet the Ducks at
Palo Alto. Cook stands 5-11, weighs 185 and was out of last year’s

Marciano, LaStarza
Ready for Ring Battle
Odds favored World Heavy
weight Champion Rocky Marciano
by 4-1 today as the champ and his
challenger, Roland La Starza rest
ed for their 15-round champion
ship bout tonight.
Although Marciano is heavily
favored, interest still mounted for
the fracas which will begin at 7:30
p.m., on the field of the Polo
grounds.
Both gladiators rested today,
Marciano at the home of a friend
on Long Island, and LaStarza in
his training camp at Greenwood
lake. New York.
Marciano flew from his training
camp Tuesday night, instead of
motoring as he had previously
planned. He made the flight to
prevent any chances of his get
ting muscle cramp for the big
fight.
Ringside seats were selling at a
r
premium as far up as the 18th
row. Promoters of the bout, In
ternational Boxing club, expect a
gate of $300,000 by this afternoon,
even before the fight starts.
Marciano will be three pounds
lighter than his foe, weighing in
at an expected 185. LaStarza
should register 188.
The IBC has threatened to sue
any radio station or television
broadcasts of the fight. The only
fight releases will be 75 word
summaries handed out at the end
of every third round of the 15
round match.
A local radio station, KVAN in
Vancouver, Wash., is planning to
recreate the fight from wire re
leases. The manager of the sta
tion said he would stand on con
stitutional rights to broadcast the
fight against IBC orders.
