College Passers
Scatter Targets
NEW YORK-CAP)-One of the
strangest developments in this
football season has been the un
precedented manner in which
major college passers are scat
tering their fire.
Dick James, the Oregon half
back, is the pass-catching leader,
having snared 16. throws, but
that is the lowest* figure a pace
setter has had in the past de
cade at this stage of the season,
according to statistics released
Thursday by the National Col
legiate Athletic Bureau.
Shaw Helps Out
Fourteen others are within six
catches of James and the general
volume of passes being complet
ed isn’t any smaller than usual.
The main reason that James
holds the lead is that his part
ner, George Shaw, is the na
tion’s leading passer.
They’ll both be on view Sat
urday when they play Southern
California in the NCAA’s tele
vision Game of the Week. USC,
incidentally, has a pass catching
leader of its own. He is Linden
Crow, who has caught only four.
but has carried them a fantastic
213 yards for a 53.3 yards-per
catch average.
Others Close
Bill Sennett of Georgia Tech
has gained 218 yards, but he has
caught 11 passes. Runners-up- to
James in the total-catch depart
ment are Jim Hanifan of Cali
fornia and Dick Rushing of Ken
tucky with 15 each.
Bob Iver.son, a junior quarter
back from Washington State, is
the top pass interceptor with
four.
Ducks, Trojans Clash
In Conference Game
The powerful Trojans of South
ern California and the giant
killing Ducks of Oregon clash
head-on tomorrow afternoon at
Portland’s Multnomah stadium
in the 19th renewal of UO-USC
football hostilities.
Fresh from their 33-27 con
quest of the California Golden
Bears, Len Casanova’s charges
encounter a Trojan team that
romped over its first three foes
before losing a 20-7 decision to
Texas Christian last weekend.
A nationwide television audi
ence will be looking in on the
game, scheduled for a 1:30 kick
off. Last year’s contest was a
resounding upset win for the
Ducks over the then-ranked USC
eleven, 13-7.
For the first time this sea
son, Oregon will be a't peak

Coach A1 Kircher used two back

for Saturday’s Pacific Coast
conference game with Califor
nia.
Frank Sarno quarterbacked
the first unit/ which included
Duke Washington, Mart Purnell

Phi Delts Reach
IM Grid Finals
Phi Delta Theta overpowered
Phi Gamma Delta 25-7 in the
semi-finals of the Intramural
football Thursday.
The teams battled to a score
less first quarter, but in the sec
ond the Phi Delts capitalized on
breaks to crack the scoring ice.
Jim Spickerman intercepted a
Fiji aerial on the Fiji 40 which
set the stage for a later payoff
toss, Schlostein to Carl Hast
ings. Later in the quarter Phi
Delt Wegner picked off another
Fiji aerial. Schlostein again took
over and uncorked an aerial to
Denny Ryan, who sped into the
end zone.
Midway through the third pe
riod the Schlostein to Ryan com
bination clicked again, making
the score 18-0. But the Fiji’s
came back late in the quarter
and broke scat back Roy Karr
loose and he sprinted 85 yards
down the sidelines to score for
the League Four champions.
SAE’s Top Churney
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, last
year’s defending champs, found
themselves forced to go all out
to defeat Churney Hall, the
Frosh Champs, 7-0.
The SAE’s usually-p o t e n t
passing attack was slowed down
considerably as Churney un
veiled a strong pass defense and
on several occasions stopped of
fensive thrusts completely by in
tercepting passes.
SAE, hov/ever, was not to be
denied and in the second period
Rex Davis found Stan Savage
with an aerial and he went all
the way for the game’s only
score. The play covered 30 yards.
The undefeated SAE’s will
tangle with Phi Delta Theat in
Monday’s championship game.
