The favorites won both Pacific :
Coast conference Karnes this past
Weekend, one of them much more ;
easily than expect* d and the
other with much more difficulty.
Southern California’s Trojans,
picked to finish right behind
UCt.A in this year's Koae Bowl
chase, demolished Washington
Stale, r»0-12. WSC, one of the I
many dark-horses of the con
ference, managed only two first
downs, nn<l never did get re-or
ganized after giving USC two
touchdowns in the first quarter..
Huskies Bobble Often
The easy Southern Cal victory
was in sharp contrast to the
Washington-Idaho game at Se
attle, where the Huskies fumbled
their way to a 14-7 win over
Idaho.

Spears Selected
For Grid 'Hall'
C. W\ (Doc) Spears who
coached football for Oregon in
1930 and 1931, has been named to
college football's Hall of Fame
at Hutgers university, birthplace
of the intercollegiate grid game.
A Dartmouth graduate. Spears
coached the Ducks to fourth and
third place in Pacific Coast con
ference play. His total record
was 13 wins against four losses
and two ties.
Spears played a part in the
development of Oregon’s great
back Johnny Kitzmiller, the
"Flying Dutchman.” Kitzmiller
captained the Ducks during
Spears' first year.
Spears is the second Oregon
grid boss to be honored by Hall
of Fame selection. Last summer
Hugo Bezdek, who coached the
Webfoots for six years and put
them in the Rose Bowl for the
first time in 1910, was named to
the Hall.
Former Duck Center
Dies of Nephritis
Henry (Hank) Bonnemann,
former substitute center for Ore
gon basketball teams from 1951
through 1953, died recently at
his home in Huron, South Da

many points, broke a conference
record by fumbling 11 times. The
Vandals, weakened by two at
tacks of food poisoning in the
two weeks before the game, re
covered four of the fumbles.
The Huskies scored in the first
and last periods for their first
win in eight games. Idaho
threatened only three times and
couldn't score until the closing
minutes of the game.
The other five conference
teams all opened their seasons
with non-conference clashes,
.mostly against intersectional
opponents.
UCLA Wins Easily
In addition to Oregon’s 14-13
victory over Utah at Salt Lake
City, Red Sanders’ UCLA Bruins
opened what promises to he an
other great season with an easy
21-0 win over Texas A&M at Los
Angeles.
Ronnie Knox and a veteran
Bruin team simply outclassed
the predominantly sophomore
Aggies. Knox, whose transfer to
UCLA from California last year
stirred up a storm of contro
versy, passed for all three touch
downs.
In another major intersection
al, Pittsburgh exploded for three
touchdowns in the last quarter to
beat California, 27-7, at Pitts
burgh.
The Bears scored early in the
game but the 92 degree heat
and 44 per cent humidity wore
visitors from the Coast down. I
Oregon State won its first'
game under Cogch Tommy Pro
thro, and its first since beating
Idaho in the 1954 opener, by
whipping Brigham Young, 33-0,
at Corvallis.
The visiting Cougars, who won !
only one game last year, showed I
i why. Oregon State scored five
' times and had three more called
, back. The Beavers also set some
' sort of record for the most
yards penalized, losing 145 yards
on 13 penalties.
Things got so far out of hand
' at one time that Oregon State
j ended up trying a conversion
! from the 32-yard line after two
consecutive penalties.
In another game Stanford won
a 33-14 victory over College of
the Pacific with a methodical
attack that gave the winners at
j least one TD in every period.

As Ducks Win, 14-13
By Al Johnson
Emerald A»i'* Sports Editor
A sophomore-laden Oregon
football team stuck to a ground
game most of the way Saturday
night as it opened its 1955 grid
campaign with a narrow 14-15
win over the Utah Redskins in
Salt Lake City.
I to fullback Lm Melle, whose
conversion provided his team
with a 7-0 win over the Ducks
in Eugene last year, missed his
first I'AT attempt and cost
the home eleven a tie.
Oregon’s prize soph fullback,
Jack Morris, connected on both
his tries and gave the Ducks
mCK JAMBS
Contributes 91 yards
their margin of victory. Morris
also scored one touchdown on a
line plunge over left guard in the
third quarter.
The Ducks' first six points had
come in the opening moments of
the second period, when 168
pound sophomore halfback Jim
Shanley scampered 24 yards to
break the scoring ice. A key
block by the speedy Morris
cleared the way for the tally.
Each team took its turn in
driving deep into opponent
territory but the defensive
work on both sides held the
scoring down, in the fourth
period the I’tes lacked inches
for a first down on the Oregon
5-yard line and lost the ball
aft<-r a 62-yard march. Then
• he I (ah (earn stopped an Ore
gon drive on (he Ute 10 late in
the quarter.
The Kedskin eleven, again un*
d< r Coach Jack Curtice, took the
opening kickoff and progressed
to the Oregon nine before
Duck quarterback Tom Crabtree
knocked down a fourth-down
pass in the end zone. After a
Webfoot punt, Utah again was
headed for a score, but fell short
on the Duck 15 due to a fumble
and an incompleted pass.
Casanova's gridders then
launched a sustained ground
drive that covered the 85 yards
in just five plays. Shanley car
ried for 19 yards on an end
sweep and Morris and James
each took the ball once as the
Ducks entered Ute territory for
the first time.
James w r.t 20 yards (o
finish the first period of play
and set (he stage for Shan
ley’s six-point maneuver. The
chunky standout from the 1954
f rosh team slipped past a
pair of would-be tacklers and
circled left end for the score.
Morris then thumped the ex
tra point.
Utah retaliated late in the first
half as halfback Larry Fields
plunged the final nine yards. The
Utes had been put in scoring po
sition when Duck fullback Fred
Miklancic, a junior college trans
fer, fumbled on the Ute 43 fol
lowing a 13-yard run. In seven
plays, the Kedskins scored but
saw Mele miss the crucial con
version.
Following the halftime inter
mission the Ducks immediately
took the kickoff and proceeded
to score their final touchdown.
Morris, a sprinter on the Frosh
track team, rambled 42 yards
with the Ute kick to put the oval
on the Duck 46.
In eight plays the Wcbfoots
were again camped in the end
zone. Morris blasted across
from four yards out and added
the fateful conversion that
gave Oregon its winning edge.
Highlighting the TD drive
were runs by Shanley and
James, with Shanley covering
28 yards on the big gainer, of
the series.
Again, the Utah eleven came
back quickly and registered a
