By CORDON RICE Emerald Sportt Editor Last weekend's football games produced a lot of interesting .sidelights to the actual winning and losing of the games, both on the coast and elsewhere around the country, in Oregon’s game with the powerful UCLA Bruins, the Lucks kept alive a record of never losing the pre-game Hip of the coin this season. (, aptain Ron 1’heister his won every toss in the Ducks’ eight games. In this same Duck-Bruin game, the UCLA team went for a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the BON I'HKISTER falls Every Tom Right ball. I his isn t unusual for the nation’s No. 1 team, but the Bruins have tallied on their first attempt in every game except against strong Maryland. It’s doubtful if many people will argue that Red Sand ers’ boys aren’t tops in the country. Another interesting point about the < )regon-UCLA game was that the Coast con ference leaders used only 28 men in trampling the Ducks 41-0. The Bruins’ first-string line played virtually the en tire game, since 15 of the 28 men used were hacks. A new all-time school scor ing record for one season was in sight and the Bruins were after it, which accounts for their decision not to put in more replacements in the game s final stages. Contrast this with the Michigan State-WSC game in which tlie Spartans used 54 men in whipping the Cougars 54-6, Record Broken It’s too had that Oregon had to play the Bruins in the south this year because when the Bruins held George Shaw to only 29 yards, his lowest total since coming to Oregon, it just about killed Shaw’s chances of beating out Califor nia’s Paul Larson for All-American honors in the eyes of California sports writers. Los Angeles and San Francisco writers usually control who will make the all-star teams from the coast, and their support will most likely swing over to Larson now. A few other notes on last week’s grid contests; Purdue gained .112 yards on only 12 passes against Iowa, hut the Jlawkeyes picked up 368 yards rushing and won 25-14... Alan Ameche of \\ isconsin became the busiest running hack of all-time when he broke the NCAA career rushing record set by San Francisco’s Ollit Matson in 1951 . . . the Cleveland Browns of the National Football league tied an all-time pro record by racking up 34 first downs against the Washington Redskins in winning 62-3. OSC Mentor Favors Huskies Slats Gill, OSC hoop coach, has been quoted as saying he thinks Washington’s Huskies are most-likely candidates for this season’s Northern Division basketball crown. Gill has enough material on his own team to lick the somewhat inex perienced Huskies almost any time, but it looks' like lie’s scared of not being able to lean on currently ineligible Swede 1 lalbrook as much as last season. Oregon’s cage team is working out this year without the services of Bob Glaves, reserve center for the Duck teams the past two years. He is on probation scholastically and has dropped basketball to concentrate on his studies. 1 ’racticing with the team, although not eligible for this vear’s play, is Ted "Dutch” Levine, a transfer from CCNY who is just out of the service. 1 Ie came to Oregon lifter becoming ac quainted with W ally Russell, Duck football player, in the service. He is now learning the Oregon system in order to be ready for the 1955-56 team. Intramural Games Moved to Monday All Friday Intramural volley ball games have been moved to Monday afternoon, due to Home coming conflictiona.

ATO bounced back In the sec ond game and was leading nine ' to seven when the Phi Delta came to life and with a late, surge scored six points, winning i the game and the B-l League j title.

It featured a string trio and was based on the idea that good music, when clearly understood, could entertain and teach, too. Actually, only 72 Western schools had radio sets then, but with that performance the Standard School Broadcast went “on the air,” to serve stu dents and teachers of the West with a brand new idea in educational aids. Today, when Conductor Carmen Dragon lifts his baton, it’s “time for the Standard School Broadcast” in over 54,000 classrooms through the West, Alaska and Hawaii. Counting chil dren, teachers and home listeners, the program reaches a weekly audience of nearly ll/2 mil lion. That string trio has grown to a sym phonic orchestra with a dramatic cast, choral group and guest vocal and instrumental artists. Selections range the musical alphabet from symphony to jazz. Each year’s course follows a carefully planned outline published in a man ual supplied to teachers by Standard to serve as a guide in blending music-enjoyment with subjects like art, literature, social studies. Now in its 27th year, the Standard School Broad cast is radio’s oldest education program, heard today over more than 100 stations. Its goal is to help Western children gain an absorbing new interest in the world’s good music and— through music—a broader knowledge and un derstanding of the world around them. Listen to Standard School Broadcast every Thursday. Check your newspaper radio log for time and station. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA f<) yw W cf/i fanning a feat/ fo ieive gou feffel
