Normhf 21, 1948 P5clh)Dgaini9 "Cafe Winn; IPeroira Sttafte (Dtetfeaftedl - , - ? j Br Harold Clatui NEW-YORK, Nov. 2(M;VMichigan, Northwestrn, Minnesota, Ore gon and California all won football games today, leaving determination of the Rose Bowl rivals to a vote of faculty representatives Monday; But no matter bow the faculty fathers decide on their $250,000 question thefr will not be able to cause any more consternation than was turned 1 on the playing fields 'today. j . , . Once mighty Pittsburgh revolt ed against its recent occupation of football doormat and defeated Penn State 7 to 0. Nick Bolkovac intercepted a Penn State pass late In the fourth quarter and hiked 23 yards for the touchdown that probably cost the losers a $100, 000 Bowl bid. It was the first Penn State defeat in 17 games. George Washington spilled Georgetown, 13 to 7, for the first decision over its cross-town rival in a series that started in 1890. Louisiana State, battered six times in eight games, licked its bruises today with a 28 to upset of Alabama. . Those surprises were mixed among the games on a nationwide schedule that also saw a national collegiate record set for punt re turns. The punt return mark was set by Lee NaUey of Vanderbilt, who brought back two kicks for 16 yards. That brought his sea son's total to 623, seven more than the old mark. Vandy beat Mary land today, 34 to 0. Georgia Tech whaled its ways to a 34 to 0 win over the Citadel. Michigan took to the air to bat down Ohio State, 13 to 3, and re tain the Big Nine championship. Northwestern ground out its 20 to 7 triumph over Illinois for second place while Minnesota pounded Wisconsin, 16 to 0. With Michigan barred from the Rose Bowl by the rules of the Midwest-Coast conference tie up, the Big Nine fathers . now must vote on either Minnesota or ''Northwestern to carry the banner on Jan. I. The Evanston Wildcats, however, are clear cut runners up to Michigan and likely nominees for the trip. Oklahoma and Southern Metho dist clinched conference titles al though the Texas Mustangs still can be tied for the laurels in the southwest circuit. Southern Me thodist again waited until late in the game to subdue Baylor, 13 to 6, but Oklahoma started from the kickoff to murder Kansah, 60 to 7. That gave the Sooner the Big Seven crown. . William St Mary was the major school to accept a Bowl bid. The Virginians drubbed North Caro lina State, 26 to 6. and will ap pear in the Delta Bowl at Mem phis on Jan. 1. Clemson, another southern conference power, re mained unbeaten with a 42 to 0 conquest of Duquesne and North Carolina stopped Duke, 20 to 0. With only tradition at stake. Harvard marched to a 20 to 7 verdict over Yale in the grand daddy of all football rivalries. But the Big Three has fallen on evil days, Princeton, the third mem ber, was battered by Dartmouth, 33 to 13. Convincing Win Taken by 10-0 (Continued from page J. 1) end runs the Ducks used; got to the 20. After Johnny McKay had picked up two to the 18, Van Brocklin pitched to McKay in the right defensive zone and he was pulled down on the seven. But a clipping penalty enroute shoved the Ducks back to the 23, where OSC eventually took over on downs. The two big breaks which were to set up the Oregon touchdown came on punts, one by Don Sam uel and the other by Van Brock lin. Samuel's, from his own 33, zoomed off the side of his foot and sailed out of bounds on the 39, good for six yards In alL Van Brock lin's after the Web foots were forced to punt when they couldn't get further than the OSC 34, bounced out of bounds on the Beaver three. The UO fair-haired I boy, apparently figuring he could not pass 'em dizzy as usual, punted 'em a reeling blow on this one. Samuel tried a pass from his own end zone on the first play, and was almost downed for a safety by three; rushing Webfoot linemen, neither of whom were recognizable because of their mud-spattered jerseys. He finally booted out to Benny Holcomb on the 45, a terrific kick, and Hol comb nulified it considerably by lugging the return back to . the State 25. It was from here that the Oregons began their touch down march. Van Brocklin tried a pass first, an easy floater over the middle in tended for Dan Garza. But Rudy Ruppe almost intercepted it So the Ducks went on the ground, McKay leading off with a left end jaunt for eight yards. Sander made two at center or a first down and then McKay, taking a wide pitchout from Van Brocklin to the latter's left, skirted the vul nerable OSC right end for the score. He picked up a key block on the way by Ted Meland, the left guard, and finally went over in the very corner at the north west part of the field. Big Bill Austin latched on for a tackle on the three, but McKay's steam was up and he drug Austin on over the goal line. Daniel's kick was perfect and with only 2:02 left to play in the half Oregon was in front 7-0. Perhaps it was the news that California was' leading Stanford only 7-6, and perhaps it was something else. But whatever it wa?, the Oregons came out in the second half all fired up to com pletely dominate play. Oregon State only once got into Webfoot yard, and that once to the UO 40. On their first series of plays. after Oregon Stale had kicked off to open period three, the Ducks drove down to the 11. Daniels went In on fourth down, and standing on his 17 slightly to the left, he booted a perfect field goal. f Webfoot partisans believed they had another two points on the following kickoff, as the muddy gent who picked it up in his end zone didn't get out in time and was snowed under. But the rules and the officials both agreed it war a touchback and OSC took over on its 20. From here the Beavers, driving to get back into the game, compiled three first downs, mostly on line shots by Twenge and Carpenter, to reach the Oregon 40. But then a pass was tried by Samuel,1 and he was spilled but abruptly for a 14 yard loss by Garza, i Oregon later; blocked a Samuel punt, but after reac hing the State 15 the Duck drive blew out. The remainder of the game was spent considerable distance from either goal. ; Oregon superiority in the game is displayed in the statistical chart. It was 17 to 9 jin first downs and 254 to 101 in rushing yards. Pass es, as mentioned, went 32 to 28 in yards gained and 5 to 3 in completions. Passing , just wasn't much in this game, thanks to the slimy going. After winning their seventh straight conference game this sea son and finishing unbeaten in the loop, which i.s all that any Rose Bowl voting group Can ask, the victorious Webfoots hoisted Coach Aiken atop their shoulders. Stiner came out to congratulate him in midfield, but when Aiken reached for Stiner's paw he (Aiken) upset his carriage and the whole ka boodle went down, into the mud!

The Caps already have latched onto such prizes as Outfielder Gene Tbom Dson. All-around Man Char ley Petersen. Shortstop Wally Flager and the semipro terrific that is Johnny Bnba'n. the I1 gaming doctor of Portland. There art others also, and when names are revealed more than a few eyebrows Will arch. The Caoitols, like the Jary Florists, Legion team and' Junior leaguers, are faced with the playing park bug gaboo for 1949, however, a Sen ator Business Manager Emih already has informed them the fee for using Waters park next season will be doubled. Last sum mer the Caps used the park for a $60 flat rental rate, or one-third of the net gate. Emigh says it will be $125 per game next time. Which is an impossibility so far as the semi pros are concerned. . . . More than mildly interested in local acquisition of Waters park Is Frank Bennett, superintendent of schools. Still with no reason able facsimile of a football sta dium for the Vikings, Bennett1 looks upon the 25th and Turner road acreage as the answer. The erection of a roof over the third base bleachers and the addition of portable field. seats to occupy a north-south line right through right and center fields would complete' it to ' perfection. We wouldn't be surprised if Bennett, along with, other local tieups, al ready has made a monetary of fer to Bill! Mulligan, lord and master of the premises. But what the locals want to pay and what Mulligan figures the thing is worth might be two vastly dif ferent things. Were the park purchased by the school board through Bennett, operation of the Senators likely would fall to a Salem man or group not connected with the schools. Bennett St Co., as owners, would rent the arena to the Sen ators, etc. Table of Coastal Tide Tides lor Tart, Oregoa Novem ber. 1S4. Nov. HIGH WATER LOW WATER Time Ht. Time Ht. 11 4 32 a.m. .
