Oregrni with throw a jack rabbit-fast backflcld against the passing of Vaughn (Skip) Corley and the running of Art I.tippino in what should be a hectic battle of offenses. Third and rubber game in the intersectional scries between the schools, the contest will give Coach Warren Woodson’s ’Cats a chance to avenge the 39-21 lick ing they received in Eugene in 1951. Arizona won the first game in the series, 20-6, in 1937. The Wildcat offense is built around I.tippino, for obvious reasons. As a sophomore last year, the speedy tailback set six national records, including a total of 1359 rushing yards and I6U points, second highest total in 34 years of major college football. So far this year the agile I.tippino has picked up 606 yards in 100 carries, and not only leads in national rushing statistics, but Is second in total offense as well. Corley’s passing arm and adroit signal calling keeps defenses in a state of confusion, allowing Luppino to slip through for big gains. Eighteenth among the nation's passers, Corley has com Clemson Rocks Gamecocks 28-14 COLTTMETA, S.

Johnson will run up against hefty opposition to his starter’s job, mainly in the 214-pound per son of Sophomore John P-aventos. Raventos has teamed with Cap tain Lon Stiner in the starting tackle jobs lately, and has given an excellent account of himself.

But Fullback Fred Mik laneik and Halfback Jack Brown demonstrated first string ability against the Gol den Bears, and either one could break into the starting eleven. Already heavily favored, the Webfoots could turn the game into a rout if they find a way to stop Luppino—-something nobody has yet accomplished. Injured Cougar Fullback Star in '54, Drops School PULLMAN, Wash. OB — Bob Miller, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound full back who was a triple-threat sophomore sensation before the start of the 1955 football season, dropped out of Washington State College Thursday. The Downey, Calif., junior had been hobbled by injuries and failed to live up to his advance notices. He had seen little action since reinjuring a knee in the Kansas game this year. Although unavailable for comment. Miller was believed disappointed in his showing at WSC. Coach A1 Kircher is left with Bill Kramer, a senior reserve who has moved into the starting spot, and sophomores Ben Milam and Clarence Copeland as under study fullbacks. Bob Iverson, the Cougar’s ace passer, turned out Thursday and didn't appear bothered by his bad knee. He is now likely to start at ouarterback against Oregon State Saturday in place of Frank Sarno. SEATTLE i.B — University of Washington football players spent an afternoon Thursday seeking more speed and power to use against Stanford Saturday. The stiff and lengthy workout was the first real deviation from three solid days of developing a defense against the aerial might of the Indians. Coach John Cherberg said the team is attempting to build around the things it already does well, "occasionally adding some thing or tossing something out.” He said “We don’t expect to surprise Stanford with anything unusual. I think they have us pretty well scouted. The team will have to do everything better than it has done at any time this season. Chuck Taylor has his team rolling right now.” LOS ANGELES iff!—1The Iowa football team arrived by air safe Iv Thursday and Coach Forest Evashevski decided to call off a scheduled light workout Thurs day night in preparation for the intersectional game with UCLA Friday evening. The Hawkeye pilot explained that by the time the squad prac ticed and got back to the hotel it would constitute too long a day for he players. The UCLA Bruins went through light exercises before going into seclusion for the night. They are still favored to defeat the Big Ten invaders. i • • Starting Tonight at Six!
