Webfoots Cop 146 Victory Winners Come From Behind for Decision (Continued from Page 18) only when the Orange goal line was reached. Jape Leicht knitted the surge into high with a twisting 20-yard sparkler around the Beaver left flank, bringing the ball to the Beaver 43. On the next plajr truly fine passer Van Brocklin dropped back and shot a long pitch far to the southeast comer of the field. His favorite catcher. End Don Garza had sauntered beyond Beaver defender Don Campbell uui misseu a iouinaown wncn uitr ball slipped off his finger tips. Van Brocklin, not to be denied, followed up by hitting End Larry Stoeven on the Beaver 26 for a 14-yard gain, and then found Gar za waiting on the left flank for 11 more to the OSC 15. He tried another to Stoeven on the goal line, but this time Dick Gray in the last split-second and with f a headlong dive managed to bat the ball out of Stoeven's waiting hands. The hard-working Beavers, fighting to keep off what seemed to be an inevitable Oregon touch down, smeared Van Brocklin for a 14-yard loss while he was try ing to pass only the second time this season in 185 pass at tempts that the brilliant Oregon back has been kept from getting his pass away, mind you and Oregon' had to kick. - Back, they came after Leicht had returned Don Mast's boot to the 49, and in six plays were on the Beaver 12. Bell's 13-yard sprint around left end was the key play. The Beavers later yield ed another first down on the Vs but on the next play Bell again fumbled and this time Big Bill Austin of Oregon State gtommed the ball. As there were but few seconds left in the half the Beavers hung onto the ball. They came back red hot. Start ing from their 20 OSC went to iw.. 14 -uic n iu uun utaj m yard rip around left end the touch-off. Then Gray made his electrifying serve to Latdlaw and OSC had sBc points. The Beavers followed right up by starting off on another drive after Bob Koch had fumbled the enduing kickoff on his own 30 Mast's fourth-down pass landed in the end. zone however. Van Brocklin went to the pass weapon again, but Dick Twenge gladdened the Beavers, and almost -wrecked the shiwering Duck 1a94a n m Via i ms i so si iti I Ana tw ucai 1x9 as lie sufc-i v.-svv wai- vma the Oregon 36. Two first downs brought OSC to the Duck 15 and had everyone in the arena con vinced a smashing upset was at band. But Mr. Belf, the gent who wore the dunce's bonnet because of his fumbles in the first half, then took over. He intercepted Gray pass on the one yard line and re turned it to the 22. He hadn't even gut his breath when Van Brocklin pitched him a lateral from the'T" and he swept around the Beaver right wing. Some fine blocking gave Bell his start and some equally fine feinting took care of the rest of it as he streaked southward down the east sideline. Don Mast gave hot pursuit all the way but there was no catching this talented 195 -pounder. He too dove the last few yards into the end zone and a great cheer went up from those who had but a fey moments earlier feared the worst had befallen them. When Jake Leicht split the up rights with a placement for a 7-6 lead the first cheer wasn't even a close relation to the one which then dented the 'sunny but crispy : ozne. Oregon had one more fumble to make late in the period, again recovered by OSC on the Oregon Tt-i but dug in and shook off the Beaver threat when Leicht inter cepted another Gray -pass on the five. - Still unwhipped. the Beavers started from the Oregon 47 after the punt by Van Brocklin and got down to the 16 before Dick Twenge, trying for two yards on a - fourth down, failed to gain. Both Garza and DeWayne sjohn ti made the tackle on Dick and it might well have been the key tackle of the day. Oregon then took over and it started the Ducks toward their final touchdown. He merely nab bed a Beaver punt on the Oregon 37 and scooted it back 24 yards to the Beaver 39. Four plays, took the Ducks to the 24 and there Van Brocklin pitched and End Darrel Kobi risen caught, in the Orange end zone. Campbell had Robinson well covered at the goal line but Jot as he went up to bat down the pass he slipped and fell. Rob inson then had only to catch the to&3, which he did with pleasure. Leicht again kicked true and with only 5:04 left it was apparent that the best team on the field today was to win. The Ducks had much the bet- ter of the going Statistically, but 1 such doesn't mean much when these two rivals get together . . . In winning, the Ducks galloped Fries Foe ' " Hi m m..

Lillies Pound I s Whitman, 45-0 Burleigh Paces 'Cats in Campaign Finale (Continued from Page 18) six more tallies in the dying sec onds of the half as he took a hand- off and raced 42 yards around the left flank in what was the long est scamper of the evening. Reder's boot was again blocked and it was 25-0 at the intermission gun. The willamettes predominated just as greatly in the second leg of the tussle. They racked up touchdown No. 5 two minutes in to the third period when the fleet Lorenz intercepted a Missionary aerial on- the enemy 24 and romped across. Blocked again was Reder's attempted conversion. The fourth canto saw the conference champs pocket another when the red-hot Burleigh once more faded from the Whitman" 29. fixed his sights and shot one true to Lorenz in the end zone. That touchdown had been set up after a 24-yard sky toss from the same Burleigh to Dean Nice. Slanchik kicked the point. The deluge of points ended late in the fourth when Keith S perry intercepted a pass and reached the, Whit eight. From there Halfback Johnny Slanchik plunged through center for the score and Dick Fletchall convert ed. - ' ' - ' - - - - The lillies amassed 359 yards from rushing and passes, though strangely enough, they accumu lated but five first downs.

Trojans Grab 6 to 0 Victory (Continued from page 18) remains to be voted by the con ference Monday, but off today's clincher the vote is merely a formality. Today's battle was an action- filled contest from start to finish and some of the lads on the field carried the battle on with fists after it officially finished. But no damage was done and the melee was quickly broken up. Troy, apparently hoping to play things safe and hold back for their traditional game with Notre Dame, soon found out the thrice whipped Bruins were fired for combat today. The Troys running game was virtually bottled up by an heroic Bruin line, but a couple of sharp passers George Mur phy and his sophomore understudy Jim (Mystic) Powers, spelled the difference and won the game. The giant Trojan line, drawing praise from Notre Dame Coach Frank Leahy who was scouting the. game, kept the rival array of backs in hand until the closing minutes of the game. UCLA didn't get past the Southern Cal 40 until the fourth quarter. DiMag Visions Tougher B-Sox BALTIMORE.

The University of the South and its alumni today honored Willie Six, an ailing negro who tended its athletes for 39 years. Willie was given a $2,500 purse, a plaque and more than 100 congratulatory letters at half-time ceremonies of the homecoming game today with Hampden-Sydney of Virginia. their streak to sis' straight and finished up the season tied with California for second place in the Coast conference . I . . The last time a Webfoot team beat OSC was in 1940 by a 20-0 count, and before then it was in 1935, by 13-0 . . . The wagering zanies took a beating on this one, for most were yielding 12 and 13 to OSC faithful . .' . Beaver chances, not too good in tho first place with so many players banged up with wounds, were considerably worse early in the game when Don Sam uel, their No. 1 back had to leave with a severe shoulder hurt . . . an airplane showered the stadium with orange-colored ''beat Ore gon" pamphlets just as the com bined bands were rendering the National Anthem, and for awhile it looked as if that would be just what would happen ... It was a great day for the Oregon root ers, too; They failed to tear down the Beaver goal post Heaven knows they tried but they did manage to undress a few unfortu nate OSC rooters.
