be one of the most exciting,
if not the most significant
intersectional gridiron en­

contest is that it marks the
first time in the history of
the game that a team from
a predominantly Black uni­
versity will be matched
against one of the major
collegiate football teams in
the Pacific-8-C onference.
According to Oregon State

great game. I feel G ram b

ball. We've had a chance to
see them on film in four
games last season. There is
no question about the type
of personnel that they've
had in the past, and we
understand they again have
a number of pro prospects
on this years squad."
