By TOM CHAPMAN Emerald Special Writer Oregon’s punchless Webfoots and Oregon State's bo%%l-less Bea vers kick off the 62nd resump tion of an annual “Civil War” Saturday and both sides, on the eve of the warfare, remained con fident that the outcome would have other implications than the “state championship." Both the Ducks and Beavers. Accurate Motor Tuneup by Dynamometer General Repairing on All Make Cars Eugene Garage 379 Enst 8th — DI 5-5261 r with a potful of 1058 luck, had hoped to be playing for real blue chips when the Corvallis affair gets along at 1:30 p in. But along the way, someone changed the plot, or pot if you please. Now it would take an O. Henry ending to get Tommy Prothro's Beavers in the Hose Bowl on New Years Day, and the Ducks can’t escape the PCC’s fifth position no matter what happens on the field. Oregon needs a victory to save a mediocre record. And if incen j tive has anything to say in these i matters. Len Casanova’s troops j should have it. for several rea | sons.

(3) The Ducks are sure to get some service from Capt. and stel lar end Ron Stover, who has cooled his heels on the bench with injuries since the loss to California. (4) Like always, they want to win this one more than any oth er. But don't even consider this remark. OSC would like to win just as much. It is rumored that the game will be a defensive battle. The rumor will probably be correct. Barker Stadium, w iiich may yet get 26,000 people in Stcate Swim meet due for preppers The best of the state’s high school swimmers will show their talent Saturday in the state high school swim meet at tho Men’s Pool. Twenty-five teams and 160 swimmers from all parts of Oregon will compete. Oswego High, the defending champion, lias been placed in the favorites role mainly because of the strength they displayed last Saturday in capturing their dis trict crown.

Take the Ducks for Instance. Since that joyful 23-0 whipping of Southern California a long time ago. they have scored just 21 points. ‘ OSC has fared better, but have done nothing which would re quire the NCAA to revise their statistical manual. But. as every Beaver supporter will remind you, at least they're winning. The game has a long and colorful defensive tradition, too. Only one time In the 111 games has the defeated eleven been able to muster up more than two scores. That was Oregon In 1932 who lost by three, 19-22. The Ducks are still the PCC's best defenders through eight games. They also defend the op position's running better than the other teams. Oregon State is third in total defense, just about 33 yards less effective than the Ducks, but in one more game. This is the teams' last confer ence game. Besides this ironic substance, there is another fea ture angle featuring the mixed emotions of Webfoot place kick or John Clarke, wno may yci in come the first footballer ever to score for both teams in ths "Civil War." He’s the ex-Beaver who boot ed two conversions In the 1953 game, ()8( ’ needed 'em t<M>. The Ducks got a lt-11 tie. and without the presence of Clarke, would have won It. If the Webfoots score on Sat urday, and few will argue that they're not due, then Claike probably will get his chance. In that case, the "foot will tic in the other shoe." ho-hum. Charlie Tourvllle, the Oregon good halfback, won't play. Sto ver, rumored to be out also, will see some conflict, and the rest of the Webfoot cripples, and there's a lot of them, should play. This Includes Jim Linden, Sandy Fra ser. Dave Kish. Len Read and Terry Cagaanan. So start the Ducks this way: ends IV te Welch and Alden Kimbrough, tackles Linden and Darrel Aschhacher, guards Bnli tirnttkau and Will Reeve, cen ter Bol» Peterson, quarterback Dale Gross, halfbacks Millie West and Ibin Iaiudenslager, with fullback .Marian Holland. Grosz will manipulate the Ducks through much of the con test. If they score two touch downs, they’ll win.
