,'V the world scries smoke clears away from the American !
sports scene, wo note with some surprise that the pro foot- j
hall season i well under way, with old Father L’pset sitting j
on nearly every bench. Last weekend’s go-round was no j
exception, for out of the six games played, four must be ;
ranked a definite overturnings of the pickers’ applecarts.
Nearest and dearest to every Webfoot heart, of course,
is the fantastic trail of havoc rookies George Shaw and ,
Alan Ameche are helping the Baltimore Colts leave
through the National Football League. Saturday the Colts
bounced the powerhouse Detroit Lions 28-13, for the first
Baltimore win over Buddy Parker’s lads in six years. "
Shaw completed ten out of 18 aerials, including two for i
TD"'. 11c threw 15 vards to Knd Jim Mutschcller for one i
score and tossed three to l.lovd Coltervahn for the final
tally of the game. Ameche picked up 152 yards, bringing his \
two game av erage to eight per carry. Detroit’s veteran quar- i
tcrback Bobby Layne passed for 16 completions and 2241
yard', but his efforts went for naught as the Colt defense j
was nearly air-tight near the goal line.
Van Leads Rams to Win
— Another Oregon boy, Norm Van Brocklin. passed the
Kams to a 27-26 srpieakhy over Pittsburgh’s Steelers, but it
W8s Lcs Kichter’s 33-vard fiehl goal in the last seconds of
the game that won it. Van Brocklin threw a 74-yard touch
down pass to Bob Boyd just as the first half ended anil later
threw a 17-yard scoring aerial to Tom Fears. The Rams
stormed to a* 17-0 halftime lead, but the Stefders bounded
back to go ahead momentarily, 26-24. Then Richter’s tal
ented toe pulled the southern California eleven back from
almost certain defeat.
The San Francisco 49ers, the west coast's other entry
in the pro ranks, was handily massacred by Cleveland’s
burly Browns, 38-3. 49er Quarterback Y. A. Tittle’s laconic
showing set off a small glimmer of hope in the hearts of
local Shaw fans that the San Francisco front office would
soon be looking for a new qb—and possibly looking Bal
timore way.
Otto Graham,.Cleveland's Old Master, passed for plenty
of yardage, but all Brown scoring was done on line plunges.
Graham, Fred Morrison and Maurice Bassett all found pay
dirt from within the five, and Kd “Big Mo” Modzelewski
turned the trick twice. A second string backfield marched to
the last Brown 'I 1), and Lou “The Toe” Groza kicked all
five conversions plus a 32-yard field goal.
Redskins Upend Eagles
Another upset came at Philadelphia, where the Eagles
were clipped by the Washington Redskins, 31-30. On a sen
sational third period, Washington hammered over three
touchdowns in two minutes, 17 seconds. Sophomore hack
\ ic Janowicz scored two Washington TD’s, and Eddie I„e
baron passed and ran to two more.
Tobin Rote passed and ran the Green Bay Packers to a
24-3 upset over the well-seeded Chicago Bears. Rote threw
32 and 28 yards for touchdowns and did the honors on an
other from the one-yard line. It was the second upset for
the Packers and second loss for the Bears. Dave Mann,
who used to perform off and on for Oregon State, con
tributed a 65-yard touchdown run as the Chicago Cardi
nals knocked off the not-so-giant Giants from New York
in the fourth upset of the weekend. Quarterback Lamar
McHan threw TD passes good for 51 and 72 yards to lead
the Cards to their first win of the season. It was New
York’s second loss.
Shaw & Co. pit their upset string against a similar skein
when they take on Green Bay at Milwaukee this Saturday
night, and no sports “expert” in his right mind would at
tempt to predict the outcome of the tussle. Either team could
suddenly run out of gas, or, on the other hand, both could
give top-notch performances. Interesting isn’t anywhere near
the right word for this game. In pro action .on Sunday, the
Chicago Cards travel to Washington, LA goes to Detroit,
New York meets Pittsburgh, Philadelphia tangles with
Cleveland, and San Francisco is pitted against the Bears.
Ducks Schedule
Televised Game
With Colorado
By Jack Wilson
Emerald An't News Editor
In the words of a popular song
arid movie, Saturday’s game,
which pita Oregon’s Ducks
against the Colorado Golden
Buffaloes, should be "a many
splendored thing.”

gene will Is- over KOIN-TV,

Celebrated sportseaster Tom
Harmon will handle the play
by-play description, while ac
tor-umpire (ill Stratton will do
the color. Stratton is best
known for his work in the TV
show, “That’s My Hoy.”
Secondly, the Buffs are one of
five teams in the nation who are
unbeaten, untied and unscored
upon this season. Colorado has!
knocked off Arizona, 3 4-0, and
Kansas, 12-0, and is expected to
be very much in the running for
the Big-7 title. Although he lost
two outstanding backs in Car
roll Hardy and Frank Bernard)
coach Dallas Ward (OSC, ’27)
still has a wealth of materia!
which he has shaped into a deva
stating single wing attack.
Thirdly, the game will find the I
potent Ducks riled up after two I
successive losses and pointing!
for a chance to even their sea
son’s record at two and two. Al
though weak in their passing ■
game, the Ducks have three of
the fastest backs on the coast in
Jim Shanley, Dick James and,
Jack Morris.

the last game between the two
squads, 21-7 in 1950. A year
earlier Oregon trounced the
