The 185-pound fullback inter cepted a Barney Holland aerial late in the first frame and went 23 yards to stake the Aggies to a 6-0 Score. Jim Withrow’s perfect place kick wrapped up the scoring. Although the Ducks had one of their worst days of the season, you can’t take it away from the Beavers. They had the best spirit and most determination that Ore gon has run into this year. Williamson Lucks Out When Paul Williamson football authority, and Kip Taylor, OSC coach, both came out with pre dictions last week that the Ag gies would win, a lot of people took it with a grain of salt. But when the final gun had seunded Saturday, no one had any doubt in their minds that OSC had outplayed the Docks. The Aggie line had a definite edge over Oregon’s star-stud ded forward wall. And the vis iting backfield had decisively outrun the Green and Yellow ball .carriers. Only in passing offense, did Ore gon show a real advantage. Dick J^nes, the third best ground gainer in the conference, didn’t even suit down for the game, and his absence was pro bably the reason Oregon didn’t have a dependable ground attack. But on the other hand, Jim Withrow, the Aggies’ top notch quarterback, was also out of the game for quite a spell, the whole third quarter to be exact. And the Beavers were as impotent without him as the Webfoots were with out James. Yet Oregon State fought off a determined Duck drive in the third frame, the best attempt Oregon made all day for a score. The Oregon State victory gave the Beavers a deadlock with Washington State for the mythical Northern Division championship, each with three victories and one loss against neighboring squads. _W L Pet.

Oregon upset USC, 13-7 and also tied Cal, 0-0. Washington’s Huskies tied USC, but lost to the other southern grid powers. Despite the loss to the Aggies, Oregon set two new conference pass defense records. Only one of the four Beaver passes was com pleted; and it was good for only 7 yards. This left the Duck defenders with only 41 completions against them all year; barely four suc cessful aerials per game. The old mark, 53, was set by Mon tana back in 1949. In total yardage via passes per season, the Webfoots allowed but 578 yards, 57.8 per game. USC held the previous mark, 668, set last year. Other than Little’s interception, there were few exciting moments for either team to cheer about. Oregon State got off a good drive in the early parts of the game, but the Ducks defense held. And The Wind Blew A stiff wind blew during the first half, severely hampering the punting and passing of each team. A four year OSC winning streak over the Ducks went into its fifth year on account of the Aggie tri umph. Another streak was wiped off the books, however.

After the game, as the seniors were being introduced, several hundred Oregon rooters formed a semi-circle around the OSC root ing section with intentions of “guarding the goalposts,” al though cries of “get your beaver hat,” and "kill” were distinctly heard in the background. When introductions were over, one luckless Beaver stepped out of the stands and just happened to touch the goalposts. That was all the excuse the Oregon fans needed. The white shirted Aggie went down under a pile of green and gold hats. When other Beavers attempted to save their hapless companion they too were swarmed under. With hardly a “Halloween hat” left in sight, several Oregon stu dents innovated the trick of grab bing handfuls of mud and tossing it into the packed stands. The turf around the stands soon disappeared and vandals ranged far and wide gathering mud. Ev eryone was fair game for the mud slingers. The crowd thinned and it looked for a moment as if festivities had ended. However, OSC football managers hadn’t managed to get the football helmets and warmup jackets off the field. A large crowd soon gathered, with but a solitary policeman “protecting” the loot. And loot it soon was. One brave fellow made off with a jacket, and when the policeman gave chase, other articles didsappeared.

Many New Year’s day bowl bids were cinched and many more thrown into complete confusion as a result of the day's action. On the coast, UCLA had Cali fornia to thank for their first bowl trip in seven years. Cal gained their second tie in as many weeks to edge Stanford out of bowl com petition, while the Bruins downed USC 13 to 0. Now, only the for mality of a vote remains to send UCLA to Pasadena. In the Midwest, Illinois remain ed in the running for the big ten Rose Bowl bid by trimming North western 39 to 14 while Michigan State eked out a 21 to 15 victory over a weak Marquette team. Michigan State is considered the top bet for the bid, because Ill inois made the trip year before last. Oklahoma clinched a bid to the Orange Bowl by smothering Ne braska 30 to 12. Maryland is the logical choice for the other Orange Bowl spot, after smearing a strong Alabama team 21 to 0. The position of Cotton Bowl host is still wide open. Texas and Rice lead the pack, although Rice beat the Longhorns earlier in the ! year. Baylor is still in the running j after knocking off SMU last week. As for the other half of the Jj Cotton Bowl and both contestants In the Sugar Bowl, the Southeast conference has top priority. The '* three open spots will probably be filled by Georgia Tech, Auburn, and either Mississippi or Alabama. On the weekends upset list: Ore gon State 7, Oregon 0; Iowa 14, .
