    DUCKS DOWN USC 13 -7
(Continued from page one )
5 foot, 9 inch halfback, who last
year jumped on the track team
and performed acrobatics on the
trampoline, vaulted at least four
feet off the ground to snag the
aerial.
He was upended in the effort,
and crashed to the turf on his
shoulder. An ordinary defender
would have lost the ball, but not
James. His “theft” gave Oregon
possession with two and a half
minutes left ’in the game, and
Shaw used up of this time with
just four playa, even though Ore
gon was penalized once for de
laying the game.
Barney Holland, senior quarter
back, piloted the Webfoots to both
their scores, once In the second,
and again in the fourth period.
Not only did he fire his passes
with needle-threading accuracy,
but he also threw such a variety
of plays at Southern Cal, that the
Trojans didn’t know where the
next play was coming from.
Keith Tucker, junior tackle,
celebrated his 20th birthday Sat
urday, and he must have been feel
ing pretty good. It was he who
opened up the hole for Oregon's
second touchdown, and who gen
erally made a nuisance of himself
In the Trojan attack.
Ron Pheistcr, center, turned in
one of his usually good perform
ances, as did Guards Jack Patera
and Ken Sweitzer, Tackle Hal
Reeve, and Ends Emery Barnes
find John Reed.
In the backfield, little Walt Gaf
fney was a package of dynamite.
He kept the Oregon ground at
tack moving when the passes
failed, and turned in some steller
defensive work. Dean Van Leuven
also had a great day on defense.
Oregon's line, which has not al
lowed more than two touchdowns
a game all this season, was press
ed hard by the Troy visitors, but
held the foes to a net of 144 yards.
And USC held second place in the
RCC rushing department going in
to the fray.
Now the Jess Hill coached op
ponents racked up a gross total of
214 yards on the ground, but the
Webfoot forward wall, especially

the ends, threw USC runners for
losses accounting for SO yards,
more than the Trojans were pen
alized.
The contest was hard fought, as
the list of post-game injuries
points out. For Southern Cal, Ara
mis Dandoy left the game late in
the third quarter with a pelvis in
jury after being crumpled by the
Duck stalwarts on a line plunge.
For the Ducks, Farrell Albright
was taken out of the ball game
early in the first half with a hand
injury. Len Berrie had some more
trouble with his ribs; Emery
Barnes picked up a bruised hip;
and Ken Sweitzer injured his leg.
As the game started, it looked
like El Tropan was going to have
a field day on the Multnomah surf.

effect and threw six straight
passes, three of them completed.
The first was to Gaffney and
covered 14 yards. With a third
down and ten yards to go on the
SC 28, Holland flipped a short
pass to Hodges who picked up
interference and went down to
the 16. On the next try, Barney
nailed Shaw with a lofting spiral
in the end zone for the score that
put the Ducks ahead. Shaw's con
version was good.
Southern Cal retaliated in the
