Apparently not . . . They're expecting new GM Frank Lane and ditto Mgr. Fred die Hutchinson, a pair of upper- drawer dynamics in baseball, to provide a revival of the once famous "Gas House Gang" at St. Louis.

To answer quite " few questions concerning professional football, both former Oregon quarterbacks Norm Van Brockhn and George Shaw will oppose one another not only once, but twice this season. Van Brocklin's Rams play Shaw's Colts at Baltimore November 20. The return match in Los Angeles is booked for December 4 . . . Speaking of the pro gridders, Van Brocklin of the Rams, Shaw of the Colts and Bill Austin of the Giants seem to get all the print ed accolades these days. But two more grads of this state's col legiate ranks are doing better than somewhat in the; play-for-pay circuit also. They are Dave Mann, the former OSC'ers now with the' Chicago Cards, and Herm Clark, the Hawaiian behemoth who also played at Corvallis and who is now a tackle with the Chicago Bears.

The icebreaker came in the sec ond period after Baylor had checked one Washington challenge inches from the goalline when end Tony DeGrazier captured a Wash ington fumble. It was a fumble by Baylor which started Washington on its touch down drive. End Corky Lewis grabbed the free ball on Baylor's 43 and in seven plays Washington had its counter. Steve . Roake plunged the last foot ; and Dean Derby converted. Baylor finally got its attack go ing late in the half. Starting from its own 13, quarterback Bobby Jones mixed his plays like a maai cian thrusting always at the weak ness in the desperately-shifting de fense. He piloted the Bears H7 () ! vards in 16 plays and sneaked the last yard as the clock showed only four seconds left in the half.

Calif, if) - A blustering thfee-touchdown open ing period splurge stood up for UCLA Saturday under a terrific last half battering by the underdog Stanford Indians for a 21-13 Paci fic Coast Conference football vic tory. Sam Brown and his booming Bruins started out to make the Indians' homecoming a runaway, racking up scores the first three times they had the ball. But the Indians, recovering sud denly after the intermission, came roaring back like a different ball club to the screaming delight of 52,000 fans toj give the Bruins the shock of their lives. A pair of touchdowns in the third quarter were the best the underdog Indians could do, but they con trolled the bail throughout the en tire second half and were on the Bruin three when the gun barked to end it. I Quarterback John Brodie, sud denly a top notch passer, and scat back Jeri McMillan were the big guns in the Indians resurgence. McMillin zipped j 18 yards for the final Stanford touchdown moments after Bill Tajr smashed eight for the first. Mike Raftery kicked the first point., tarr missed the sec-orftf. The Bruins, beaten only by Maryland in earlier going, started out as world beaters but were shackled completely in the second half. I he first scoring splurge was a beauty with Brown the big man in two touchdown drives and his replacement,! Doug Bradley, dom inating the third. Bob Davenport plunged three yards for the first Bruin tally to. cap a 66-yard march; Brown passed 59 td John Smith for the second: and Bradley hit Bruce Ballard in tne end zone with anJ 18-yard pitch; for the third.

FulibackMack Morris, a 10-sec-ond 100-yard dash man. raced to two touchdowns and his replace ment, Fred Miklancic, plunged over for the third. California never posed a serious threat. The visitors once pene-' trated to the Oregon 22. But (hat came on a drive that took 11 plays to go 20 yards, and the march sputtered to a halt there. At the start, it appeared, that neither team would get going. They went through almost the en- . tire first quarter without a first down: and exchanged punts seven times. Morris Scores But a 24-yard California punt gave Oregon the ball on the Cal ifornia 26 and Oregon seized -the 1 opportunity. Four plays moved the ball to the 14, and from there Morris took a pitchout and ram bled around left end to a touch down. Two California tacklers met him at the 5, but Morris had full speed up and he simply pushed them back-with him into the end zone. That was on the first play of the second quarter and by half time,' Oregon held a 14-0 lead. The second score came on a 78- yard drive right after California had made its move to the Oregon 22. It took just six plays with Morris reeling off a key 14-yard run to the California 1. From there Miklancic punched over. -Reserves Play - The final score came at the start of the third quarter. Oregon took: the opening second half kick off and moved 63 yards in 11 plays to a touchdown. Once again Morns provided most of the yard age in the march, climaxing .nat ters by slipping through the line the final yard. - Oregon reserves played much of the remaining time. With California chasing futilely after Morris and the fleet half backs. Dick James and Jim Shan ley, Oregon seldom turned to the air. : There was only one pass in the three scoring drives and that one was a surprise toss by James who rarely throws the ball. End Bill Tarrow caught it for a 36-yard gain in. Oregon's second touch down march. Cal ; Tries Passes California could not get its ground game going and surpris ingly was reluctant to try passing. Late in the contest, the Califor nians did turn more to the air but j for the game completed only four of 13. Oregon outgained California oa the ground 201-108 and in the air, 47-37.
