Clash Thursday
By JACK WILSON
Emerald Sports Editor
J he Oregon State Beavers appear to have a Ko.se Bowl
bid sewed up, but Oregon's Ducks will be out to make ’em
prove they deserve it when the two arch-rivals clash Thurs
day afternoon in a holiday game in Corvallis. 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. '1 his year, both teams are better than ever, the
| Beavers assured of their first Rose Bowl berth in 15 years
I and the Ducks iredi from a 7-0 win over highly-favored
| CSC.
An attendance surpassing the 2!,200 Parker stadium rec
ord is expected lor the tilt, although the Thanksgiving holi
day is expected fo cut dow n on 'tudent attendance. The wea

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.
