the University of California and the northern schools are aligned
against Stanford, Southern California and UCLA. So if WSC
Is deadlocked in there with UCLA, and even if USC, which beat
the Cougars, should be in the picture, Washington State has a
better than average-' -cnance - I
getting thebid as the western
representative Is chosen by j the
votes of all conference members."
So Much Hooey
To which this feeble voice in
the northwest answers phooey.
For why? We recall the 1938 sea
son when both Southern Califor-.
nia and California wound up in
a tie. When the. ballot were cast
Mr. Golden Bear received one
vote, that turning out to be his
own. Maybe these accused poli
ticians hadn't formed their clic-
ftues at that tims, but if they
were, what happened to r tne
'solid north's" support of brother
Bear? No doubt the same thing
will happen to those . votes this
year they'll go for the team
north or south which respective
schools feel is actually entitled
to the game.
Sore, the Cenrars went south
and got their anly trimming
from the Trojans, 26-IX. Thou
sands of Les Anseles fans saw
the lime and left it with noses
between thumbs and first fin
gers. But don't ferret, a much
worse team than WSC, made the
Uclans look Just as,. bad down
at Eugene a eauple af weeks
ago. ..
'BotcV' the Pre flights j
All of which adds up to decided
ly nothing right now as the Ukes
have yet toplay the Trojans, and
after last Saturday's j 40-0 exhibi
tion all this wrangling on just
Who's gonna defend Miss West's
honor and harvest the $100,000
plumb will t be done away with
right after the USC-UCLA game.
That should make the path clear
enough for the Cougars ihd
ale those wise birds. L h
But it won't. Should the Tro
jans whiy UCLA" the Remington
wreckers of the sunny south will
start pounding out such ufi" as
-Why not USC in the Rose BoWl?"
Brainstorm: CKk up a came
between WSC and UCLA or
forget the whole thing and toss

Beavers Start
Workouts for
'Civil War'
'Successful Season
Awaits Winner of
Orange-Duck Battle
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis," Ore., Nov. 17 With the
"big game" of the year coming up
this weekend, the Beavers began
intensive drill immediately upon
arrival in Corvallis from Palo Al
to Tuesday. The annual Oregon
State-Oregon battle, traditionally
booked as the "civil war" game,
looms this year as more important
than usual, both aggregations hav
ing had rather disastrous seasons
to date.
Rout h Game Forecast
The Beavers, with wins over
California, Idaho and Montana and
losses to UCLA, Washington State,
Washington and Stanford in con
ference competition thus far, are
quite naturally sharpening their
fangs for the Ducks, also oft-defeated.
The contest promises to
be rough and bitterly-contested,
with each gunning for the prime
mark of a "successful season," a
win over the other.
Oregon State's surprising 49-to-13
defeat at the hands of Stanford
was also a costly one. Ace full
backs Joe Day and Choc Shelton
suffered reoccurrence of old leg
injuries and may not be able to
perform against the Ducks. George
Bain, Frank Parker and Orville
Zielaskowski were also injured
but will probably be ready to play
Saturday.
Respect Roblln. Reynolds
Although statistics show that the
Orange led Stanford in first downs
by one, they further reveal that
Coach Lon Stiner's charges were
completely snowed under in the
rushing department. On the other
hand, the Beaver passing attack,
weak all season, showed a remark
able boost, with 20' or 32 throws
completed. The feared Stanford
aerial offensive failed to mater
ialize. The primary Oregon threat to
the Staters lies in the Ducks'
double-barrelled offensive threat,
Tom Roblin and Bob Reynolds.
The latter, a sophomore, has shown
up outstandingly in recent games
to bolster the efforts of 'the slip
pery Roblin, who has been Ore
gon's workhorse all season.
Webfoots Will

EUGENE, Ore. Nov. 17 -JP)-Oregon
went through its first
workout Tuesday for the Oregon
State game at Corvallis Saturday
and Coach John Warren said he
expected the Webfoots would
shake the lethargy that marked
their appearance against USC last
weekend.
Only Tommy ' Roblin, fireball
back, and End i Russ Nowling
played par ball at the Trojans won
40-0, Warren said, but he expect
ed his squad to be at fever pitch
against the ancient rivals from
Oregon State.

Rickey made It clear that one

tricky bonus agreement last year
that may have brought him in ex

"We've been talking about two
