UCLA, Miami
Game Banned
MIAMI. Fla.-(APl-Athletic di
rector Jack Harding of the Uni
versity of Miami tried Tuesday
to arrange a post-season game
for the unbeaten Hurricanes with
UCLA but found it was against
the rules.
UCLA ranked first and Miami
sixth in this week's Associated
Press poll but neither is eligible
for a bowl bid. UCLA can't go
to the Rose Bowl because of the
no-repeat rule. Miami can’t go
to any bowl because the school
is tinder NCAA probation.
Harding called UCLA Athlet
ic Director Wilbur Johns to sug
gest a game in the Orange Bowl
here Dec. 3. Johns, who is chair
man of the NCAA Special Events
Committee under which the pro
posed game would fall, said the
i ules wouldn't permit it.
All games not scheduled be
fore the season starts are "spe
cial events,” Johns said.

Shaw Still Holds
Reduced Margin
In Total Offense
NEW Y ORK- ( APi-Georgc
Shaw of Oregon stands between
| California's Paul Larson and his
second straight total offense
title.
Larson, who won the crown
last year with a whirlwind fin*
! ish, picked up 62 yards on the
! Oregon back last week, but fig
ures released by the NCAA Serv
ice bureau Wednesday showed
Shaw still leads all major col
lege football players with 1245
yards. Larson is second with
11117 yards. Each has three
games left to play.
I .arson Top Thrower
Larson leads everyone in pass
ing with 93 completions for 1125
yards in 142 attempts. His com
pletion average is 65.5 per cent.
The record is 60.9, per cent, set
by Washington’s Don Heinrich
in 1950. Last Saturday, Larson
threw 38 passes, completed 25
for 280 yards.
Shaw has thrown more than
Larson, but has completed only
73 of his 150 attempts for 1068
yards. He has accumulated 177
yards on the ground, while Lar
son's rushing figure is minus
eight yards.
Luppino Leads
Art Luppino, the Arizona soph
omore, still is far ahead in rush
ing with f892 yards, but Penn
State’s Lenny Moore has moved
into second place with 717 to
081 for Colorado's John Bayuk.
Army's Tom Bell, with 660 yards,
has the best average per play.
12.2 yards for 54 carries.
Alan Ameche, the workhorse
of the Wisconsin backfield, is
down in 11th place among the
runners, but is closing in on a
record. He has 3127 yards rush
ing in four varsity seasons and
needs 40 more to wipe out the
college career standard of 3166
set by San Francisco’s Ollie Mat
son in three years from 1949-51.
Oregon Primes for UCLA;
Powell Is Game Captain
Oregon's varsity football team
worked till dark on defense Wed- '
nesday in an effort to halt the
high-flying UCLA Bruins when
the two PCC teams meet at the j
Memorial Coliseum at Los An
geles Saturday.
Defense and more defense was
the order of the day as head
Coach Len Casanova and his
assistants Jack Roche, Vern
Sterling, and John McKay ran
the Duck gridders through de
fensive formations designed to
halt the Bruins.
Number One
UCLA is regarded as the best
team on the coast and is cur
rently ranked number one in the
country by the Associated Press.
Red Sunders’ team, which oper
ates from the powerful single
wing, battered Cal Saturday
despite 25 passes completed by
the Bears’ Paul Larson.

UCLA, USC
Retain Lead
Oregon moved into third place
in the PCC standings last Sat
urday, as the result of its 26-7
victory over Washington. This
game broke a four year losing
streak to the Washington Hus
kies.
The UCLA Bruins maintained
its perfect record by trouncing
the California Bears by a 27-6
margin. There are only five other
football powers in the United
States that can boast an un
blemished record.
USC kept pace with UCLA by
gaining a 34-0 win over a green
Oregon Sate team. This victory
was its fourth against Coast com
petition.
The Washington State Cougars
pulled the upset of the day by
scoring a narrow 30-26 win over
the Stanford Indians at Palo
Alto, California.
Local Yokels Set
New Team Record
Hale Kane trounced Sederstrom

ing and thus retained their lead
ership in the dorm league with
a 10-2 season's record.

In other Wednesday results the
Yeomen split 2-2 with Campbell

smothered Sederstrom hall 3-1.
The Local Yokels set a house

There is a possibility that the
Bruins may be pointing past;
Oregon toward USC. The UCLA- j
USC game on November 20 is
figured as the game which will I
decide the PCC championship.
The Bruins, who lost in the Rose
Bowl to Michigan State this ■
year, are ineligible, but the Tro
jans are sniffing roses.
Upset Minded
In 1953 Oregon lost to UCLA
by a 12-0 score when the Bruins ;
scored two touchdowns in the
fourth quarter. This year the
Ducks should be striving even
harder for an upset.
One of the bright spots in
the Oregon camp lately has
been the Improved play of
Halfback Lloyd Powell. The
letterman senior, who played
six-man football at Triangle
Lake high school, was named
game captain for the UCLA
contest and will share captain’s
duties with Kon Pheister, the
season’s captain.
Bill Hammer, the Frosh coach,
scouted the Bruins against Cal
Saturday and came away singing
the praises of Sanders’ team.
Frosh to Meet
Grays Harbor
Coach Bill Hammer ran the
improving freshman football
team through a series of rugged
drills Wednesday as the fresh
men gridders prepared for the
Friday evening contest with
Grays Harbor Junior college at
Aberdeen, Wash.
Hammer, his assistants, and
38 players will leave by Grey
hound bus at 9 a m. Friday and
will arrive in Aberdeen with high
hopes of gaining their second win
of the young season.
First Win
In their season's opener, the
Frosh rallied in the second half
to post a 13-6 victory over the
Oregon State college Rooks.
Stating that he was well
pleased with the result of the
Rook game, Hammer neverthe
uess pointed out that the Frosh
made many mistakes, including
a number of fumbles. This week's
work has been largely confined
to fundamentals and correction
of “these mistakes.
Heavy Line
Grays Harbor is figured to
give the Frosh a strong battle.
The Washington team has a 3
wins, 2 losses, and one tie record
on the season and ims a big
heavy line with some linemen in
the 230-lb. class.
The Frosh will enter the game
in relatively good condition with
only two injuries. Tackle John
Raventos is nursing a bruised
leg and Halfback LeRoy Phelps
is suffering from a Charley horse.
"They Just looked real, real
good,” Hammer stated.
Run and Pass
Hammer pointed out that the
Bruins are basically a running
team (leading the coast in rush
ing ) but can pass when they
want to.
“Primo Villanueva complet
ed seven of ten passes against
Cal,” the Frosh coach said.
In comparing Villanueva with
last year's UCLA star Paul Cam
eron, Hammer remarked that
Villanueva was not as large as
Cameron and not quite as dan
gerous but commented that he
"hsfd certainly helped this year’s
team as much as Cameron helped
last year’s.”.
Top Defenders
Although vulnerable to the
short passes of Larson, UCLA
was praised as having a good
pass defense, in that the Bruins
covered Cal’s downfield receiv
ers fully.
In the line Hammer cited
Hardiman Cureton and Jack
Rllena as being the best de
fenders. He was not too im
pressed with Jim Salsbury, who
along with EUena is being
touted for All-American.
The Oregon team should go
into the game in the best shape
of the season. Only reserve end
Leroy Campbell is ailing. He has
a bad back.
The Ducks—36 strong—will
leave Eugene at 11 a m. Friday
and will fly to UCLA via United
Airlines. They expect to arrive
in Los Angeles in time for an
afternoon workout on the coli
seum turf.
