Ducks Waif USC
For First Test
In Loop Action
Coach Len Casanova’s ground
power offense gets an early sea
son service test Friday night
when the Webfoots fly to Los
Angeles for their Pacific Coast j
conference opener against high- [
ly regarded Southern California.
Last year the Ducks stayed
even with the Trojans for the
first half of their NCAA tele
vision game of the week, but
Oregon was unable to hold Jon
Arnett in check and the sopho
more scatback personally en
gineered a 24-14 victory for
USC.
Arnett is back this season and
appeared as fit and fleet as ever
in his two-touchdown role of
Southern Cal’s 50-12 whitewash
ing of Washington State.
In addition to Arnett, Coach
Jess Hill boasts veterans Jim
Decker at fullback and Ells
worth Kissinger at quarter- |
back, plus lanky Leon Clarke
and Chuck Griffith as two of
the top ends on the coast.
Casanova will counter the
Troy speed with veteran Dick
James and a flock of sophomore
fleetfoots. Jim Shanley, Jack
Brown, Jack Morris, Chuck Os
borne and Fred Miklancic showed
brief flashes against Utah last
Saturday and are counted on to
open up Friday in the Coliseum
if the turf stays dry.
