have won in the past. The award
goes to the "outstanding college
football player in the United
States." We voted for Van Brock
lin not only because he has no
peer as a passer but because he
alone has literally thrown the
Webfoots from obscurity to na
tional prominence. Any football
player who can do that for any
team is great enough to be con

The name Bill Beard has click

FOREST GROVE, Nov. 20-(Special)-A fired-up gang of Pacific
Badgers tonight blasted Willamette's Bearcats, 19-0, and killed the
Cats chances of tieing for the Northwest conference grid crown.
Willamette went into tonight's tilt a slight favorite but Dr. Paul

damper on that by i coring on the
first play of the game via 65

touchdown on the fourth play fol
lowing the kickoff and another
Badger tally in the final quarter

the Bearcats' humiliation.

ing game that was mislaid in Oc

today and the Huskies celebrated
with five touchdown flips to
crush Idaho 34 to 7.
The second Pacific coast con
ference victory of the season for
Washington was seen by only
20,000 fans. They got an unex
pected surprise when four passers
did a needle-threading job with a
wet ball and the receivers were
ready and plentiful. Idaho, defi
nitely outgunned, uncorked an
overhead game of its own in the
third stanza and winged 72 yards
to a touchdown, but it was only
a futile gesture by that time.

Prep Elevens
Set for Semis
By The Associated Press
The Oregon state prep gridiron
semi - finals this week are going
to be chummy little affairs geo
graphically, anyway.
The, four prime elevens spent
the season playing teams all
around the state and wound up
matched against schools right next
door. One set has even played to
gether before. True to early sea
son prophecy, not a single team
east of the Cascades got into the
running.
All of which, if it weren't for
two semi - finalists' gift of un
predictability, ought to shape up
the championship game quite
simply: Jefferson of Portland vs.
Medford's Black Tornado.
Jefferson is favored over the
nearby Gresham Gophers in the
Thanksgiving day semi - final at
Portland's Multnomah stadium.
But Jefferson was favored last
year, too. And got walloped in the
quarter - finals.
The other semi - final, between
Grants Pass and Medford, sounds
still simpler. The bitter southern
Oregon rivals played during the
regular season with Medford win
ning, 7-6. Grants Pass climaxed
its record by upsetting Albany,
Oregon's only unbeaten, untied
squad, in the quarter - finals Fri
day night.
The 'state high school activities
association board of control will
select the date and site of the
Medford - Grants Pass game and
the two class "B" semi - finals on
Monday. The class "B" champion
ship race will pit Dayton against
Mapleton and Henley against Wal
lowa. Wallowa overwhelmed John

0, today to keep their Rose Bowl
single tally.
While more than 80,000 fans
gripped their seats in excitement
during a thrill-filled game, the big
Bears fought their toughest battle
of the season. California finished
its season with an unblemished
record. 10 straight victories.
After yielding a first period
touchdown, the Indians came
back to fight the Bears to a stand
still. They hit so hard, the Bears
couldn't hold the ball. In fact, a
recovered fumble led to Stanford's
third period touchdown.
California's Jim Cullom won
the tight game for his school. He
booted the ball through the up-
Stanford Cel.

Convincing 10-0 Final Taken

By Al Llghtner
Statesman Sports Editor
BELL FIELD, Corvallis, Nov. 20-(Special)-To the tune of "Cali
fornia Here We Come," played by gleeful members of their band.
University of Oregon's Webfoots ambled out of this mud bowl
today with a convincing 10 to 0 victory over Oregon State, and
hoped to a man their next stop will be Pasadena come January L
It could well be that, too. For the California Bears, neck and neck
with Oregon for the Rose Bowl
honors, impressed no one with
their hard-earned 7-8 verdict over
lowly Stanford. 10 college profes
sors ballot today, and on Monday
at least the Pacific coast confer
ence choice will be known. Web-
foot stock certainly went up in
this game, as it was an all-Oregon
day.

was fired into action again by
Coach Jim Aiken and the reserve
guard responded by kicking field
goal from the 17 Va yard line.
This was to be all the scoring,
but on two other occasions the
Webfoots, using wide sweeps
around the State ends and quick
hitters off the guards and tackles
mostly, got within the Beaver 20.
On the other aide, Lon SUner's
men, finding the inspired Oregon
line a determined obstacle from
end to end, got within the Duck 20
only once all day. and this In the
first aeries of plays the Beavers
ran.
The "new Bell field turned out
to be a $14,000 dud for the 52nd
renewal of this classic. The goo
was lnttee deep In most places
and the players, upon being block
ed or tackled, often slid as much
as five yards. Midway into the
first period it was hard to tell Just
who was who on cither aide. Nu
merous fumbles marred the game,
naturally, and neither aids was
able to uncork its vaunted passing
attack.
Which could be taken as anoth
er measure of Oregon superiority,
for the Webfoots won decisively
without the aerial wizard of
Norm (The Arm) Van Brocklin.
