Coliseum Game
With UCLA Set
By Gordon Rice
Emerald Sports Editor
The Oregon Ducks, free from
injuries for the first time this
year, face their toughest test of
the season Saturday afternoon
when they meet the UCLA Bruins
in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
The Bruins, who have been
shooting for the No. 1 ranking in
the country ever since the season
started, finally made it two
weeks ago on the Untied Press
poll, and last week on the Asso
ciated Press survey.
The Uclans, who have no in
tention of giving up their rank
ing this week are ineligible for
the Rose Bowl because they made
the trip last year, but that has
n’t hurt their spirit any.
Bruins Unbeaten
Paced by Tailback Primo Villa
nueva, who took over for the
graduated All-American Paul
Cameron, UCLA has roared
through San Diego Navy, Kan
sas. Maryland, Washington, Stan
ford, Oregon State and Califor
nia without a defeat.
They scored 61 points against
OSC, 67 against San Diego Navy
and 72 against Stanford. The only
close call they’ve had all year was
a 21-20 scare thrown into them
in the last quarter by Washing
ton. In seven games they've
scored 292 points while holding
their opponents to 40.
Ducks Try Defense
Needless to say, Oregon Coach !
Len Casanova has had his club ;
working on defense much of the
week, in the hope of at least i
slowing down the powerful Bruin
single wing attack.
FTosh Coach Bill Hammer, who
I scouted the Bruins, came away
impressed with the power of the
team as a whole, including their
large all-veteran line. Jack El
lena. who is being pushed for All
American, and Hardiman Cure
ton drew special mention.
In Los Angeles, Coach Red
Sanders of the Bruins isn't tak
ing anything for granted. The
Uclans also have been working
on defense in an attempt to bot
tle up Oregon’s own All-America
candidate, Quarterback George
Shaw.
Sanders, somewhat worried af
ter Cal’s Paul Larson completed
25 out of 38 passes against UCLA
last week, drilled his squad on
pass defense often during the
week. However the Bruins lead
the conference in pass intercep
tions this year with 22. and in
spite of Larson’s field day Cali
fornia did not score a single
touchdown on his passes.
UCLA also spent one day on
the ground—working on both of
fense and defense—in an attempt
to get their own going and stop
the Oregon attack which ground
out 223 yards rushing last week
against Washington.
The game will start at 2 p.m.
and will be broadcast locally over
radio station KASH in Eugene.
