Conflict Leaves Chilled Craniums
By Paul Mackay
(m«ild Reporter
Wall, it'* all over i*ven the
shouting. All that remain* of
the great Civil War between Cor
vallis and Eugene are a few
naked and chilled cranium* walk
ing around the Duck and Bea
ver camp!
The Oregon Duck* withdrew
from Saturday'* game, appar
ently xatixfied with their 33-14
Victory, with very little Beaver
blood.
It 1* questionable which school
suffered the greater damages,
for event* leading up to the an
nual fracan reunited in consider
able Oregon damage.
A report from Corvallis new*
nources revealed that some 25
Oregon students were captured
by Aggie supporter* a* the
Duck* attempted to burn the
OSC Homecoming bonfire about
4:30 a.m. Friday.
Prisoner* Inject Excitement
The 25 prisoners were part of
an Invading band of 50 to 60
Webfoot* who intended to Inject
some excitement into the OSC
homecoming. Oregon men who
were not captured returned to
Eugene with an OSC ho*tage.
Shaved and orange-painted
head* were the penalties for the
20-odd University student* who
were then put to work by paddle
armed Stater*. The task* were
reported to have been slight.
Three car* driven by Oregon
Students were seized, the wheels
stripped and the bodies dumped
at the Memorial Union quad
rangle for public display.
\iutauis.- .>01 tiiiiiiy
Donald DuShnne, Oregon di
rector of student affairs, said
that he had been advised that
the University students captured
and put to work had, not been
guilty of any vandalism they
were at OSC only to set off the
bonfire.
But, he said, he had been told
another carload of students had
broken windows in several build
ings including the library and
Dearborn hall.
OSC’s dean of men, Dan Pol
ing, suggested to DuShane that
University students who had
been caught not he punished for
"they had received plenty of pun
ishment from the OSC students."
Spirit, Rivalry Slacken
Spirit and rivalry had appar
ently slacked down by the end
of Saturday’s game for very little
"brawling” took place between
the two schools.
Bob Frazier, Register-Guard
reporter, was attendant at the
game specifically to cover the
"student riot that was expected
to take place after the game.”
He observed “boundless enthus
iasm on part of rally girls,” but
when no real fights ensued, he
left muttering something about
"school spirit not being what it
used to be.”
Oregon’s victory bell, stolen
by OSC students last week, was
returned the Sigma Chi’s in
exchange i* about 30 trophies
stolen from 1" few OSC fraterni
ties by Oregon Sigma Chi’s pos
ing as brothers from the middle
West.
The bell, received by George
Gildersleeve, was returned after
an ultimatum was issued by ir
rate University students.

Breaks 5-Year
Losing Streak
By Gordon Rice
Emerald Sports Editor
Six long years of football frus
tration ended for the University
of Oregon Saturday afternoon as
the Ducks overwhelmed the Ore
gon State Reavers 33-14 at Park
er stadium in Corvallis.
The victory was the first over
the Reavers since 1948 and ended
a string of five straight Oregon
defeats in the 60-year-old series.
The largest crowd ever to
watch a game in year-old Parker
stadium, 21.200 saw Oregon close
out Its season by winning its
sixth game against four losses.
The win also gave the Ducks
third place in the Pacific Coast
conference and an undefeated
record against Northern Division
opponents.
Beaver* Lose Eighth
For Oregon State it was the
eighth consecutive defeat, and
ended a season that saw the Rea
vers win only their season open
er against Idaho. In fact, the
14 points the Staters scored Sat
urday was the most they have
scored all season.
But in addition to being a
great team victory, the win
was a personal victory for two i
member* of the Oregon squad, j
Ifuarterhack George Shaw
netted another 121 yards and
ended the season as the na
tion’s total offense leader.
Shaw, who wound up with 1536
yards, actually gained eleven
yards on California's Paul Lar
son, who could manage only 110
against Stanford, and ended the (
year with a total of 1485.

was in San Francisco in 1930.
During World War II he be

title.
As in previous games this
yoar* it took a full quarter for
Oregon-to get going, and in the
meantime Oregon State had
showed surprising power in
taking a 7-0 lead. The Duck*
iintraeked themselves in the
seeornl period, however, and
scored three times before the
end of the half.
Oregon added single touch
downs in the third and fourth
periods, while the Beavers picked
up their final score late in the
final period.
■Shaw Has Fine Day
Shaw, Oregon's first All-Am
erican candidate since Norman
Van Brocklin, ended his Oregon

He passed for three of Oregon’s
touchdowns on passes that went
for 6, 50, and 52 yards, and
kicked three extra points.
He ran the opening kickoff
in the second half hack for 92
yards, bnt the officials ruled
that he stepped out of hounds
on the OSC 27, still leaving him
with a 65-yard run. And he ran
back an intercepted pass 40
yards in the second quarter to
start the Oregon comeback.
Oregon State elected to re
ceive after Oregon Captain Ron
Pheister lost his first flip of the
coin after winning nine straight.
Using the spot passing of Quar
terback Jim Withrow to perfect
advantage, the Beavers moved
all the way to score.
Beavers Score
Withrow’s touchdown pass to
Rnd Wes Edigei caught the Ore
gon defense flat-footed as they
were bunched up expecting a line
plunge for a first down. W’ith
row kicked the extra point and
the Beavers led 7-0 with only
3:39 gone in the game.
That’s the way it stood until
the second period when Shaw’s
pass interception and run gave
Oregon the ball on the Beaver
48. Jasper NlcOee, the Oregon
workhorse all afternoon, even
tually s<'ored the first Duck
TD from the 13 after twice
picking up first downs on
fourth down plays.

Ping Pong Nets
Broken by Students
Students have broken more
than 20 ping pong nets in the
Student Union recreation room
so far this term, according to
L. A. Bellisimo, recreation man
ager.
"The students get mad and
throw their paddles at the nets
and break either the net or their
paddles,” Bellisimo said.
“There is no excuse for the
amount of destruction of facili
ties taking place,” Bellisimo re
ported. "Only 27 nets were bro
ken throughout the entire 1953
54 school year.”
Students will either have to
play with old nets or substitute
pieces ol string for the nets, if
they do not stop breaking the
nets used now, according to
Bellisimo.
