Webfoots Prepare Defense
For Southern Cal Trojans
Coach Len Casanova sent the
Oregon football team through
a rugged defense session Wed
nesday afternoon as the Duck
grtdders worked on ways and
means to halt the high scoring
University of Southern Califor
nia Trojans.
Oregon and Jess Hill’s USC
team meet Saturday at Port

defensive diet
land’s Multnomah stadium in the
nationally televised “Game of
the Week." Originally intended
as a night game, it has been
moved up to a day contest.
Much will be at stake as both
teams are gunning for a share in
the Rose Bowl pie. Oregon, up
set winners over Cal last week,
has a 2-2 mark on the season
and 2-1 in the Pacific Coast con
ference. .Southern Cal has a 3-1
overall and 1-0 in the confer
ence.
The Trojans opened the season
against Washington State 39-0.
walloped Pittsburgh 27-7, edged
Northwestern 12-7 and suffered
their first loss last Friday, a
20-7 defeat inflicted by Texas
Christian.
Shaw Still Hurt
The Oregon coaching staff
commented that the squad was in
pretty fair physical condition,
but that star quarterback George
Shaw was still nursing leg in
juries which have hampered him
in recent contests.
Coach Jess Hill of U8C has
expressed his opinion that
Mhaw Is the best back in the
PCX' and has been working
his players on pass defense.
The Oregon mentors also
stressed that the Ducks will have
to be at their physical peaks to
halt the hard-running Trojans,
who are reported to have one
of the fastest backfields in the
nation.
In Aramis Dandoy, Lindron
Crow and Soph Jon Arnett, the
Trojans have speed to burn. The
Ducks edged USC last year by
preventing Hill’s fast backs from
breaking loose and are faced
with the same problem this year.
Jim Contratto, a senior who
at last is first string Southern
Cal quarterback, has done a
very capable job of passing and
punting so far but reports from
the Trojan camp indicate that
he will not be able to play against
Oregon because of rib injuries.
In overall season play, Ore
gon leads USC In offense and
defense. Oregon is first in the
PCC in total offense with 333.5
yards per game while USC
is second with 325.8.
The Ducks trail only UCLA
in defensive effectiveness, and
the Trojans are but fourth in
this department.
Southern Cal leads Oregon in
punting and pass interceptions,
however.
Long range weather forecast
for the Saturday skirmish is for
rain Friday and Friday night but
with clearing skies Saturday.
