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 win was Oregon's 27th in
the series, to 18 for ; OSC. Seven
games have ended in ties.

vember the Salem Capitols-sponsoring
Willamette Amusement Co.
continues to talk about having
"the best semipro baseball team
in the state", next season.. 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.
