Two Northern teams of the Pa
cific Coast Conference, Washing
ton and Oregon State, basked in
football glory Sunday after a
gloomy weekend for the South
ern giants of the league.
Mighty UCLA fell, California
lost and Stanford was white
washed Saturday, leaving only j
the powerful USC Trojans to up
hold. Southern 111 vision dignity

The Washington Huskies made
the experts who rated Minne
sota a two-touchdown favorite
look pretty silly as the Gophers
simply came apart before 58,000
shocked fans at Minneapolis.
Knd Jim Houston was the
Washington sparkplug, scoring
twice and setting up a field goal
with a 54-yard puss interception

.Stanford fumbled the ball away
three times and had four passes
intercepted by the alert Beavers.
Maryland knocked the No. l
team halo off UCLA 7-0, Illinois
beat California 20-13, Kansas
took Washington State 13-0 and
Utah trimmed Idaho 20-13 in
other Saturday encounters.
Doug Peters' fumble on the
one-foot line was a crusher for
UCLA but Maryland gets the
credit for an inspired perform
ance, getting revenge for their
12-7 defeat by UCLA last year.
The Marylanders ruined the
work of the sensational Bonnie
Knox, put together a sustained,
71-yard scoring drive in the
third quarter and thereby ended
the UCLA winning streak after
10 straight games.
It was the first blanking of
UCLA since California whipped
the Bruins 35-0 in 1950. It was
UCLA’s first shutout in 40 games
under Coach Red Sanders.
Cal Falls Again
Stubborn California held Illi
nois to a 7-7 halftime tie but
succumbed in the second half to
the yardage-eating Illini backs. It
was California’s second straight
loss, Pittsburgh having taken the
Bears the week before.
Kansas ended a 17-game losing
streak by beating Washington
State. The Jayhawks were in
side the Cougar 10-yard line four
other times without scoring.
Next weekend: Texas visits
USC at Los Angeles Friday night
and on Saturday it will be Penn
sylvania-California at Berkeley,
UCLA-Washington State at Pull

Washington-Oregon at Portland,
Ohio State at Stanford. Oregon

Kaline's average, according to

Shanley, who twisted and turned
through the Trojan secondary,
broke free on about the USC 30,
and scampered past the goal
posts with no one near him.
Morris’s extra point try was per
fect this time, and the gap nar
rowed to eight points.
The gritty Duck defense held
the Trojans for downs on the
five as time ran out in the half.
The second half was all Ar
nett. In the third canto the
junior speed merchant took a
lateral from C. R. I to tie rts, who
had already gone seven yards,
and whisked the remaining 25
to score. He also booted the
PAT.
After the Oregon safety in the
fourth quarter, Arnett grabbed
a punt on his own ten, eluded the
grasp of soph Tackle Jerry Ker- i
schner, and rocketed downfield
for his fourth TD. Apparently
not even w'inded from his ninety- '
yard jaunt, he calmply kicked
PAT No. four.
Roberts, a talented, block
busting sophomore, closed out
the scoring with a 31-yard end
zone journey, and Kissinger
kicked the final point.
Fred Haney Out
As Pirate Boss
In Reshuffling
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The
Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday fired
Manager Fred Haney in a move
obviously designed to clear the
decks for a change in the club’s
top management.
Haney disclosed to reporters
that he had received a letter from
General Manager Branch Rickey
notifying him that his contract
was being terminated. The two
year agreement carried a pro
vision on automatic renewal next
season unless terminated by
either party before the end of
this season.
Attendance High
Sunday’s was the final game
for the Pirates and they lost to
the National League champion
Brooklyn Dodgers 4-0. Curiously
enough, the attendance reached
28,185 for the “Award Day con
test.’’ It was the biggest crowd
at home for the Pirates this sea
son.
Fans in the stands were not
advised of Haney’s dismissal.
A Pirate official who pointed
up the significance of the dis
missal as clearing the way for
any possible change in the Pirate
front office said also that it was
not impossible that Haney might
come back next year—after the
general manager situation is
settled.
Rickey Quits, Too
Rickey has said he will not
continue as general manager.
But his contract has an arrange
ment for Rickey to remain for
five more years in an unspecified
“advisory capacity.’’
Haney, however, has no doubt
of the finality of the action.
Speaking softly and without any
indication of anger at the dis
missal, Haney told a reporter:
“I've been fired before and it’s
no great shock. In this business
you either do or you don’t; we
didn’t.
