Game time is 1 :30, and XBC-TV will carry it as their "Game of the Week” with nationwide coverage. I lie Benton County Bandidos go into the game at least one-touclidown favorites, a- they have lost onlv two games this season to Oregon's four, but past performances usually mean little in this hard-fought "Civil War.” The Orangemen were favored last year, and the Ducks ran them right off the lield. 2*-0.

The wea | thermal) predicts idea! football weather: "clear and cold.” Ducks Top OSC In PCC Statistics Oregon leads Oregon State in every column but one. according to statistics released Tuesday by the PCC Commissioner’s office. The Ducks lead in rushing of fense, total offense, all defensive departments, punt returns, kick off returns, punting averages and interceptions. The Rose-Bowl bound Beavers are ahead in only pass offense, and there they hold a narrow six-yard margin. Ducks Pace Defense . Oregon leads the conference in total defense for the ninth straight week, having allowed but 2118 yards in nine games for a 235.3 average. The Beavers have given up 2467 yards and stand fourth in the standings. The Webfoots hold a narrow lead in total Offense, standing fifth in the PCC with 2592 yards to Oregon State's 2571. Turning to individual figures, Oregon State outstrips the Web foots in several departments. The Beavers’ Earncl Durden has re placed Oregon Fullback Jack Morris as the coast's third-rank ing rusher, Morris dropping back to fifth place. Durden has picked up 514 yards in 69 carries, to Morris' 492 yards in 122. Morris stands second only to Charles Morrell, Washington State, as the conference w’ork horse. Morrell has been given the ball 127 times in nine games. Francis Two Yards Better In passing, the Beavers’ Joe Francis has a tiny lead over Ore gon’s Tom Crabtree. 302 yards to 300. Both have completed 23 passes, but Francis has the bet ter average and has tossed to four touchdowns to Crabtree’s one TD effort. Oregon State has three men ahead of Crabtree and Morris in total offense. Paul Lowe is fifth, Francis is seventh, Durden is 11th, and the two Ducks stand 14th and 15th. Leroy Phelps and Jim Shanley are still one-two in punt returns, and Morris continues to hold a big lead in kickoff return yard age. Only Beaver in either of these columns is Durden, fourth in kickoff returns. W ith solid footing for the fleet backs owned by both teams, the game can be expected to feature breakaway runs by such speed sters as Jim Shanley, Leroy j Phelps and Jack Morris for Ore gon and Paul Lowe. Eamel Dur I den and Joe Francis for OSC. The backfields seem equally balanced, with both having tre I mendous speed, fair power, and j little passing. So it appears that | the game will be decided in the line, where the Beavers have All-American John Witte and the Webfoots have a small-but scrappy bunch that has been out weighed in every game this year. Witte Grappling Champ Witte, PCC heavyweight wrestling champ, was picked to the All-America first team by Collier’s magazine. The 230 P~"nd senior from Klamath Falls has been making trouble for ene my backfields all year, and it will take an all-out effort by Oregon’s tackles to hold him back. Several Oregon linemen have been- giving good accounts of themselves this year, too, ’though not in as spectacular a manner as big John. End Phil McHugh, tackle Chuck Austin, and guards Harry Mondale and Spike Hi", strom have been the standouts in a line that has led the Web foots to first place in PCC de fense all season. Tom Crabtree has been named game captain for the Ducks, and the senior signal-caller’s last game could be & great one. Crab tree has been running and passing better with every game, and he calls a good, uncautious game. Oregon State will be banking on the churning legs of a pair of gifted sophomores, Paul Lowe and Earncl Durden. Both boys were all-city choices in Los Ange les, and both weigh around 175. La rd Top Blocker Gerry Laird is the OSC quar terback, or blocking back in Tommy Prothro’s single-wing. He is a 200- ound senior from Tu lare, Cal. and his blocking has been excellent all season. Joe F. incis alternates with Lowe at ailback. He's a triple threater rom Honolulu who can run, kick and throw.. Tom Berry, a block-b isting fullback, rounds out the l ackfield.
