Civil War Contest Set
By Allen Johnson
Emerald Sport* Writor
The question of college football supcriyrityJrt^Or^gyn for,
the 1954 season will be answered SattirddY after'the'Oregon
Ducks and the Oregon State college Heavers meet at Corv allis
in the 58th renewal oi their Civil War classic.
Scheduled for a 1 :30 kickoff, the game will mark the OSC
Homecoming event. Parker Stadium, the year-old, 27,000
seat arena of the Beavers, will be the site of the game.
Len Casanova's men will carry with them a 5-4 record
for the season, an up-and-down campaign which has seen
UO football hopes change from Rose Bowl aspirations to
the mythical championship of the northern division of the
Pacific Coast conference.
After opening the season with a smashing 41-0 win over
Idaho, the Ducks were toppled by Stanford, 18-13. Follow ing
games have included wins over California, San Jose State.
Washington and Washington State. UCLA, Southern Cali
fornia and Utah have beaten the Webfoots by widely-varied
margins.
OSC Season Dismal
The Beavers, on the other hand, show just one triumph
for the season, a 13-0 victory over Idaho in the year’s first
game. Since then, Taylor’s youngsters have been whipped
by Nebraska. Washington State. California, UCLA, USC
and Minnesota.
But all records can be rightfully tossed out for this game,
yearly the hardest-contested game for each school. The
Beavers in 1953 were given practically no chance to win,
after failing to score in their first five games, but up-ended
the Ducks 7-0 in last year’s Homecoming tussle on Hayward
field.
Prior to that the Staters had won 20-10, 14-2. 14-7 and 22-19
decisions beginning in 1949. The Oregon Cotton Bowl team of
1948 was the last Duck eleven to whip the Beavers, turning
the trick by a 10-0 count.
Eleven UO Seniors Playing
Chief hopes for a Duck win rest with four senior players,
all performing in their last Oregon game. Quarterback George
Shaw, Center Ron Pheister, Guard Jack Patera and End Hal
Reeve will brace the Webfoot attack. Other senior gridders
include Ends Dick Mobley, Leroy Campbell and Chuck
Greenley; Tackle Keith Tucker; Quarterback Don Holt;
Halfbacks Walt Gaffney and Lloyd Powell and Fullback Dean
Van Leuven.
Shaw is expected to head a backfield of Dick James and
Powell at halfbacks and sophomore line-buster Jasper Mc
Gee at fullback. Other line starters should be junior Tackle
Lon Stiner and sophomore Guard Reanous Cochrane.
The return of Quarterback Ray Westfall may give a large
boost to the passing attack of the Beavers. Senior veteran
Jim Withrow has been carrying the signal-calling burden
along with Sophomore Bob Clark.
Top running backs for the sophomore-dominated Beavers
are sophs Dan Naranche, Bob Sutton and Tom Berry, along
with Senior Jack Peterson and Junior Vern Steward.
Anchoring the forward wall of Taylor are two giant tackles,
both having been praised by opposing coaches. They are Ron
Aschbacher, a 6’ 3”, 212-pounder from Prineville, and Howard
Buettgenbach, who stands 6’ 4” and scales 200, from Payette.
