Ducks Meek Upset
Marching to the rosea, USC
bumped the Ducks, 24-14, in a
tight er-than-the-score tussle in
Portland, and Len Cacasova’s
charges will probably be think
ing about that game as they take
the field tonight. Team Captain
Lon Stiner voiced the obvious
fire of his mates, "We're not go
ing clear to Los Angeles to dis
appoint Caa."
That fire was evident last
Saturday, as the Ducks rolled
P
lip 383 yards on the ground to
upend Utah, 14*18. Sophomore
Halfback .llrn Khanley went
for IP yards in nine carries for
a IO.H average, tops In the
conference. Senior standby
IMck James carried for Ul net
yards and a 5.7 average.
Sophomore fullback Jack Mor
ris got only one chance to flash
his blinding speed, as he re
turned a kickoff 43 yards. Mor
ris handled the Duck punting,
gaining a 40.7 yard average and
booted both puts. Morris's pre
cise blocking cleared the way
for several long gainers by other
backs, and he smashed over
guard to score the second Ore
gon touchdown.
Stalwarts in the line included
Reanous Cochrane, Spike Hil
strom, Stiner, and Harry John
son.
Arnett I-cads SC
Arnett was the sophomore
back who ruined Oregon in last
year's meeting, and he has rolled
: up 70 yards and 15 points so far
this year. Roberts, up from last

earlier this year. In acceleration tests,
Chevrolet walked away from everything
else in its field. Plus all the high-priced
cars except one!
It’s the big reason Chevrolet’s been tak

events this season. Sizzling acceleration
along with handling ease and cornering
ability—things that mean safer, happier

new Chevrolet show you what we mean.
