It’s world scries time again, with the same teams playing in the
same places and everything indicates that the results will he the
same as they have been in the last few years. Not that the Yank
ees and Dodgers don’t play very interesting ball, but why must
through the preliminary warm up of a baseball season
every summer. It would be more sensible to have the two teams
play a ten or twenty game series in the middle of the summer
and forget the other 14 teams.
Seriously, this looks like a year when the Yankee fans will
make more money than ever. Every Brooklyn fan in the country
is sure the Bums will win and is betting every cent he can lay
his hands on. Of course after the series, they can pull a Walcott
and scream they were robbed, but every free thinking liberal in
the country will interpret it as another victory of money over
the downtrodden masses.
Wrong Sanders
Somebody goofed. If you bothered to read yesterday’s Emer
ald, you may have noticed that we ran a picture—purportedly
Red Sanders, Coach at UCLA. The picture didn’t turn out so
well and maybe it was just as well. It just so happens that the big
nosed fellow in the picture was not UCLA’s Mr. Sanders, but
Oregon’s Bob Sanders. Any football fan will remember that Bob
Sanders played fullback for Oregon several years ago; in fact,
he held down that position quite ably for Oregon’s great Cotton
Bowl team of 1948. We apologize, sincerely to Mr. Sanders,
(and you can take that one any way you want to).
This year’s green and gold Ducks seem to love upsets. After
playing a beautiful game at Lincoln, and upsetting*Nebraska
20 to 12, the Webfoots went to Palo Alto and let Stanford upset
them. Most of the team was in there trying and we don’t claim to
be experts that can tell what every player did wrong and why we
lost. But we have heard a good deal of rumor to the effect that
Oregon’s, starting guards, Jack Patera, especially, and Ken
Swietzer to some extent, let down completely. You can take that
; for " hat its worth; but it did seem a bit strange that the Indians
went through guard, almost at will.
Many a scream was heard around radios on the campus when
Barney Holland replaced George Shaw as quarterback in the
second quarter of the game Saturday. It seems the fans have no
confidence in Mr. Holland or his ability as a football player. Ore
gon’s second team has different idea.s however. They not only
think Barney is a great guy but they have loads of confidence in
[ him. He is one of the coolest passers that has played for Oregon
. *n many a year. Barney never gets panicky or throws the ball
away when he is being rushed. He calmly sidesteps the opposi
tion until he spots his receiver, and then he throws—not always
good passes perhaps, but no one ever tried harder.
/\s ror wny onaw sat out the second quarter, we have it from
reliable sources that he injured his head on a tackle in the first
quarter and was too dazed to remember plays until late in the
third quarter.
Is there something wrong with the fans in this area? Only
three days until the big game and there are still plenty of good
scats available. Most of the other schools in the country would
| be worrying about being short of seats with such a big name
( school in the offing. The Ducks are strong enough this year to
«• make a game out of it, but still nobody cares. Students may still
> pick up their athletic cards this week. These athletic cards entitle
| you to attend all Eugene and Portland games free. Some 5,000
general admission tickets will go on sale the day of the game.
jj „ Prognosticators1' Nightmare
Football season, after two weeks, has turned into a prognosti
cators’ nightmare. With the one platoon system, little schools
are beating big schools and big schools are beating even bigger
, schools. Upsets are a dime a dozen, and for the first time since
the PCC was formed, there are only two members left unbeaten
after two weeks. The biggest upset to date saw little insignifi
> cant Mississippi Southern beat Alabama, one of the strongest
' teams in the south, 20 to 6. Kansas State, who had won two
* games in the last seven years, rolled all over once mighty Drake,
i 50 to 0. Texas, who was rated in the top ten by every pre-season
prognosticator, fell to lowly LSU, 20 to 7. Just a sampling from
a crazy mixed up little season.
Ducks Hold Aerial Session
In Prep For UCLA Contest
Oregon spent most of Tuesday’s
practice session in a phase of foot
ball which has been noticeably
lacking during the Webfoots’ first
two games—a reliable passing at
tack.
After a long chalk talk by
Coach Len Casanova, the team
took to the practice field in their
second closed drill before Satur
days UCLA clash on Hayward
field.
Both Duck tossers, George Shaw
and Barney Holland, had trouble

PAUL, CAMERON
UCLA'S “Mr. Football"
Mural Revision
As a result of men’s rush week,
all 4:45 p.m. intramural touch
football games have been canceled,
for the remainder of this week.
These games will be made up lat
er, and all house athletic manag
ers are to receive the new revised
schedules to be posted in the var
ious men’s living organizations.
The old schedules are to be disre
garded. Daily schedules of the in
tramural games to be played each
day will also be published in the
Emerald. The 4:45 games will be
continued next week.
Intramural officials also ex
pressed the urgent need for more
intramural officials. Since there
are eight games per day being
played next week, and four per
day for the remainder of this
week, many officials are needed
to take charge of them.
Ir
The injury lists remains th*
same, with Cece Hodges and Tom
Elliott still ading. Len Berrie, end,
is nursing a bruised rib, sustained
in the Stanford game last week
end.
Teams Matched
An interesting aspect of this
week’s game will be that Oregon
and UGLA are currently running
first and second in passing de
fense—and eight and ninth in
passing offense.
Other items in which the two
squads are eqaully matched are
rushing offense, Oregon first,
UCLA next; total offense, UCLA
second, Oregon fourth; kickoff re
turns, UCLA fifth and the Ducko
sixth; and rushing defense, UCLA
third and Oregon fourth.
James Second
In PCC Rushing
LOS ANGELES — Aramis Dan
doy, Southern California tailback,
has taken a big lead in Pacific
Coast Conference rushing figures
and Washington’s Sandy Leder
man is the No. 1 passer, accord
ing to statistics released by the
PCC Commissioner’s office.
The fleet Trojan halfback has
rolled up 233 yards in his first two
games and an average of eight
yards per carry. He’s followed by
Dick James, Oregon sophomore, •
with 148 and UCLA's Paul Cam
eron, 125.
Lederman’s completion percent
age isn't too high at 34.7 per cent,
but he’s tossed for 302 yards with
17 completions in 49 attempts and
has had only three intercepted.
Jim Withrow of Oregon State has
completed 13 and Paul Larson,
California, and Bob Garrett, Stan
ford, 11 each.
Dandoy has passed for 85 yards
which, combined with his rushing
total, gives him the total offense
lead with 318 yards. Aramis has
been responsible for three Trojan
touchdowns. Lederman is second
with 293 yards and one touch
down while Paul Cameron is third,
219 yards and five TDs.
