They waited under misty, obvious Palouse Conn tr\ clouds Friday, all-day, and half of Saturday. Jack Morris, John Robinson, and J. C. Wheeler waited in Lewiston’s one record shop Friday, after the Oregon train had arrived in Idaho’s most west-ward city. Others, like quarterback Paul Grover and tackle Darrell Asch bacher, waited in bed. reading, studying. And ask Bob Grottkau. He waited at least an hdur for breakfast. Out of the 1100-mile rail journey came little Rose Bowl talk. The Pasadena trip still seemed miles off. Morris, and guard Harry Mondaie, the team veterans still said "We’re playing each game as a whole season.".After it was all over: The dressing room. Oregon side of course, was loaded. No more waiting. The Oregon-State UCLA final couldn’t have came a moment earlier, either. "That makes us number one, doesn’t it?” Mondale shouted. Everyone agreed. Pullman, for 24 hours, \\a- the world's craziest football town. Homecoming, plus tire “game” made it so, even days before the two PCC rival- squared off on the green, quick Rogers Field grass. WSC's student newspaper, The Ever green, labeled the contest “a Battle for the Rose-." The student half of the WSC stands was filled an hour and a half before kickoff time, and Cougar supporters are nois\ .Thev yelled when the \\ SC band approached the field for pre-game festivities. They yelled louder when a huge cougar mascot paraded onto the field in a cage. And even a 7-0 Oregon halftime advantage didn’t thwart a fine sign-card demonstration during intermission. A few chuckles, though, when the colored cards appeared with a large red rose, but the pa.-.- from Leroy Phelps to Jim Shanlev for the second Duck score in the fourth -tanza seemed an end to much of the festivities. Sutherland Congenial Host Jim Sutherland, W ashington State’s coach, is a true gen tleman. We talked with him after the game—asked him about the PCC’s future. “I don’t think any of us will apply for a Big Five Conference now. It’.' wonderful that two teams like this can have the chance t > play each other. Ore gon is a truly fine team.”.Duck coach Len Casanova sped quickly to the WSC dressing room after the game end ed in an attempt to console Cougar quarterback Bobby Newman. Xevvman missed the extra-point that would have given his team a tie, and was sobbing when Cas reached him.Our nomination for coach of the year: A dead heat between W'SC’s Sutherland and Oregon's Casanova. A few Oregon bests.Biggest eater: Will Reeve, the big Duck tackle from North Bend, by a sizeable mar gin, although close competition from center Dave Fish and Grottkau.Best dresser: Willie West, before boarding the bus at McArthur Court Thursday eve, looked like a page from a Playboy fashion feature. Green hat, and all the trimmings.Best poker player: Fish, again, this trip anyway. Hardest workers of all-Managers Jack Cogswell and Doc McDonald who climbed out of bed Saturday before the sun came up, and drove tons of equip ment over the winding highway out of Lewiston headed for Pullman. Same pair get honors for mo3t tired team members on the return trip . The Ducks were represented by a band from North Cen tral high school, but someone got their signals crossed on the musical choice. The band’s colors were that hated orange and black.Dedicate the Oregon victory to Norm Chapman, who may be lost for the rest of the season with the ankle fracture. His injury will hurt, no doubts about that, but his understudy, rookie Bob Peterson, filled in cap ably for the remainder of the contest.Newman and Ellingsen are both juniors, and the Cougar’s all-American end Bill Steiger, sitting the year out with a neck injury, will be back for more pass-catching next fall. Steiger is helping the WSC coaching staff this year. Misers with the Ball The climax.Shanley, after it was all over, grabbed the winning ball and was clutching it en route to the dress ing room. Walking behind him, a lot slower and a bit more unhappy, were two males with big Cougars on their jackets .“Who’s got the ball?” said one.“That’s Shan ley,” the other replied.“I’m pretty sure they’ll let him keep it,” was the retort, “We couldn’t get it away all clay.” McClure, Eogles Gain 'Mural Grid Tourney | McClure anil the Legal Engles won the right to play in the 1957 intramural football champion ships with victories in league playoff games Friday.
