Berkeley's Memorial .Stadium
will be the football action scene
Saturday afternoon as the Ore
gon Webfoota attempt to ^et
back on the victory trail against
the power-laden Golden Bears of
California.
Coach Len Casanova's hope
fuls will meet I’appy Waldorf's
club before an expecterl crowd
of 30,000. Kickoff time is billed
for 2 p.rn. It will lx? Cal's initial
l ow Into I’ai iflc Coast confer -
ence play this year.
The Bucks ran through an
hour-and-a-half workout Thurs
JWITV WALDORF
Ready for Wchfouts
day afternoon, emphasizing mock
offensive situations. Quarterback
Johnny Keller and Wally Rus
sell continued to„ work at the
signal-calling spot and George
Shaw ran through maneuvers
without pads.
Leaving by train Thursday;
night, the team was to arrive in
Berkeley this mo'rning. A work
oat was slated for Friday after-1
noon. The Shasta Daylight will
return the squad on Sunday.
Oregon's corps of running
backs is in top shape for the
game, with Jasper McGee. Dick
James, Walt Gaffney, Lloyd Fow-|
ell, Dean Van Leuven, Tom Crab
tree and Dick Pavlat all expect
ed to see action. Guard Don
Jacobs, still nursing a back in
jury. did not make the Berkeley
trip.
Team Record* Identical
Pre-season ratings touted the
game as the Rose Bowl decider.
However, the luster of both
tennis has been considerably
dimmed by their Identical 1-2
records. But Cai must win to
stay in Rose Bowl contention
and the Ducks could play the role
of spoilers.
California dropped its first j
game to a powerful Oklahoma;
eleven, 28-13. They followed this,
up with a convincing 45-0 win
over San Jose State, which plays
Oregon October 23 In Eugene.
In their most recent outing, in
the Midwest, the Bears dropped
a 21-13 nod to Ohio State.
Oregon dropped an 18-13 game
to Stanford after trouncing Ida
ho 41-0 In the opener. And last
week the Ducks were edged by1
Utah, 7-6.
Passing Good
Reports based on previous
games by Oregon scouts Indicate
that the Cal gridders possess a
crisp short passing game as well
as a stout pass defense. The Bear
forward wall f*-atui**s six men
over 200 pounds, with the larg
est, tackle Harry CJhilarducci,.
scaling 245 pounds.
This rugged line has enabled
Cal Quarterback Paul Larson
ajid the other Bear passers to
achieve a 65 per cent completion
r
average In their first three con-!
teats.
Star* to Perform
The game will display four
players who have rated national
recognition. In addition to Ore
gon’s George Shaw and center
Ron Pheister, both all-coast
choices, Cal's Larson and 201
pound Center Matt Hazeltine
will take leading parts.
Larson ranks high on the na
tional total offense list, having
357 yards in trying to defend
his 1953 title. Shaw leads the
country with his total of 495.
Other Cal standouts are Ends
Jim Hanifan and Jirn Carmichael
and Backs Ted Granger, Tom
Kramer and Jerry Drew.
The Bears maintain a 17-8 ser
ies edge over the Ducks. In the
1953 meeting the two teams bat
tled to a 0-0 tie on a muddy field.
In 1952 Cal walloped Oregon
41-7. but was hard pressed to
achieve a 28-28 triumph in 1951,
Casanova's first year at the
University.
