Idaho’s Vandals swirled out of
the north Saturday but they found
it hard to steal anything as they
were leveled by Oregon's rising
Ducks, 25-6, under partially clear
ing skies on Hayward field.
The win was the third in a row
for the Oregons, matching their
longest winning streak since the
great team of 1948 that went on
to play in the Cotton Bowl against
Southern Methodist on New
Year’s day, 1949.
On To Berkeley
The battle cry now is "On to
Berkeley,” where next Saturday
the resurgent Webfoots will be
seeking win number five for the
season aganixt Pappy Waldorf’s
always tough Bears, who last Sat
urday clawed the Washington
Huskies, 53-25, in what was an
ticipated to be a close contest.
Top feature of the Oregon game
was the brilliant passing of George
Shaw and Barney Holland and
the equally fine work of their
glue-fingered receivers. Shaw
completed six out of six aerials
and Holland connected for four
as the Webfoot quarterbacks roll
ed up a grand total of 10 for 11,
sub-quarterback Don Holt throw
ing one incomplete.
On the receiving end the
speedy sophomore halfback,
Dick James, twice broke away
down the Oregon left sideline to
snag two TD passes from Shaw.
Back C’ece Hodges and Ends
John Reed, Len Berrie and
Chuck Greenley also figured in
the pass-catching act.
Before 9,500 enthralled specta
tors, the Ducks struck twice to
roll up a quick 12-0 bulge. Len
Casanova's charges went 48 yards
in eights plays for the first touch
down, with Dick James going for
five through right tackle for the
cimcner.
The second drive was for 55
yards in three plays. On the Ore
gon 45, Shaw shot a pass to
Hodges that carried to the Van
dal 42. Janies made 14 over left
guard to the 28, and Shaw then
pitched a perfect pass to James
for the remaining 28 and the TD.
In both cases Shaw missed the
try for the extra point.
The Ducks made it 18-0 in the
Second quarter when they scored
with just 1:08 left to play. On the
run-pass option Shaw started the
march with a 20-yard gain around
right end to the Idaho 25. Gaff
ney went through tackle for 13,
James made- three, and then an
Idaho offside put the ball on the
.Vandal four, from where Gaffney
again cracked off left tackle into
thft end zone.
In the third quarter Oregon
drove 70 yards in eight plays for
their last score. Shaw completed a
23-yard pass to James for the
score and then kicked his first
extra point.
Game Almost Over
With just :39 left in the game,
the Vandals pushed across a TD
against the Oregon subs. Speedy
Larry Gorrell and 160-pound Ed
die Allison spearheaded the Idaho
scoring thrust with Allison car
rying the final four yards to score.
An interesting sidelight of the
game was Oregon’s platooning

Larry Rose had the wind knocked
out of him in a collision with Ida
ho’s Ted Frostenson, and Tom El
liott suffered a recurrence of an
old leg injury.
In the dressing room after the
game, Casanova praised the work
of Dick Mobley, Shaw, Holland,
James, Chuck Greenley, and the
whole first string as a unit. He
said he felt the second and third
strings needed sharpening up and
that the Idaho play would bene
fit them.
He was especially pleased
with the pass defense—the Van
dals failed to make a comple
tion all day— and also with
the fact thait his team was able
to score early in the game.
On the whole the first unit
seemed to exhibit an extra amount
of poise and finesse whenever'
they entered the game. They
moved at will against the Idaho
defense and held like a stone wall
whenever the Vandals threatened
a scoring march.
An interested spectator, was
Herry Nelson, sophomore tackle,
who was downed in an airplane
accident after the USC game. He
watched from the Webfoot bench
in street clothes.
