Assistant Sports Editor
Several weeks ago m this column an extensive criticism was
• written on the ridiculous nature of the supposedly noted foot
„ ball ratings of the one and only Paul B. Williamson. Wc hate to
go hack and stir up old arguments but this week’s rankings by
Williamson leave us with no choice. They are so absurd that
wc just have to mention them.
If you haven’t already consulted Williamson’s “golden list,”
which one is foolish to do if lie wants any half-way accurate
-information, be sure and do it. We guarantee that you will
laugh just as much as when you read one of Bibler’s Worthal
cartoons.
Oregon 65th
V illiamson has Oregon’s high flying Ducks buried deep
down in 65th place. This is rather hard to understand, consid
ering that the \\ ebfoots haven’t dropped a game since the
' W ashington tussle way back in mid-season. Three weeks ago
after the Southern California game Oregon was ranked 48th.
W hen the Ducks romped over Idaho they were dropped clear to
60th. Last week-end as the up and coming lads of Len Casan
ova held highly-touted California to a 0-0 standstill Williamson
pushed the Ducks down five more places. For the life of us we
cannot figure out why in the world Oregon keeps losing ground
in the rankings despite their tremendous successes on the grid
iron.
Oh, Those Mighty Beavers
Williamson might have been forgiven for the mistakes he
made above in the minds of University of Oregon students but
- one other error he made makes him unpardonable. He has the
. Aggies from Corvallis, better known as Oregon State, rated as
58th in the nation, seven places ahead of Oregon. Now, how
can one account for that? We can give no substantial answer.
The Beavers have been absolutely impotent all year long and
• don’t deserve that good a rating anymore than “Podunk State.”
\\ e are willing to grant the fact that the Beavers looked much 1
better last week-end in their 7-0 win over Washington State but
that is the only game all year long in which they have shown
any football skill. Many people have pointed to theft' victory
- over Idaho as being a big achievement. We would like to ask
-these people one question. Who hasn’t beat Idaho?
The Beavers started off the season with five straight losses
-and it was their sixth game of the year before they were able
. to score even a single point. For the season they have an overall
record of two wins and six losses as compared to Oregon’s |
mark of four wins, four losses, and one tie. Why should the
-Aggies be so popular with Williamson?
OSC Over Oregon
As a result of his ratings Williamson has put forth the pre
diction that Oregon State will climax their season by defeating
Oregort this Saturday at Eugene. We will not make any com
ment on this prediction because it is entirely unnecessary. Any
one who follows the football results each week-end can very ob
viously see that Mr. Williamson is off his “rocker” in picking
the Beavers to win.
Another person who has openly stated that OSC will win
over the Ducks is none other than Kip Taylor, Oregon State
coach. We wonder if he is actually serious. He is probably still
up in the clouds floating around on the prosperity of the Beav
ers’ win over WSC. A thorough trouncing from Oregon this
week-end would bring him back to earth.
Get Mad, You Ducks
- We think that University of Oregon football players and
-the Webfoot student body as a whole should be highly insulted
.'-at seeing their worthy grid squad taken so lightly. Come Sat
urday and the players will have their chance to get revenge.
-Also, on Saturday the Oregon students ought to have a wonder
ful opportunity to get in their licks, too. By turning out in mass
. for the game the Oregon student body can show Kip Taylor,
his team, and the OSC rooters that the Ducks not only have
a better football team than the Beavers but also have the whole
school behind their team all the way.
Big Game Saturday
■ ' Traditional games are being played all along the Pacific
Coast this week-end. Besides the Oregon-OSC tilt, there are
three other “Big Games” on schedule. Stanford will take on
their old rival, California, at Palo Alto, UCLA and Southern
.Cal will battle it out at Los Angeles, and Washington will
match plays with WSC at Seattle.
With Stanford and UCLA still in a deadlock for the lead in
the Pacific Coast Conference standings two of these games
could go a long way in determining thisj-ear’s Coast Rose Bowl
entry. In case both the Indians and the Bruins should score
wins this Saturday .conference officials will have to pick the
Pasadena trekkers by vote.
