Newspaper Page TextTHE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, -ORE CrOIT BsJ BUCK QUACKS By BUCK BDCHWACH This week undoubtedly will be come known u "get-revenfe-on-haochty- California aportwriteri" week, but we feel so good we're ' not going to write 750 words of sarcasm and direct them at Pres- cott Sullivan, Will Connolly, and the San' Francisco sport scribes who in the past have scoffed at Oregon football teams. When Oregon can beat U. S. C. and Oregon State beat Stanford and knock both of them from their solitary perch at the top of the Coast conference standings, that is reward enough in itself. And if one of the Oregon teams by-some blessed quirk of fate gets to the Rose Bowl . . . well, then we'll have our fun. What we would like to discuss Is the Oregon State football team, and why Lon Stiner and company won that game. In Corvallis they say it was the great forward wall of the Beavers ... or the bril liant play of little Don Durdan in the backfield . ; . . or the power house plunging of Choc Shelton .... or the wiggling ability of Bob Dethman .... or the great all-round play of Captain Quen tin Greenough, who just to get the facts in order is not quite as good as Elliott Wilson, the Web foot center, but much more spec tacular. Any and all of these things aided the Beavers; but that is not the reason they stopped the win ning streaking of Clark Shaugh nessy's Indians. They had most of those things last year, and more. They had Jim Kisselburgh, Johnny Leovich, Leonard Younce, Bud English. Two of those were all-coasters last year; the other two, Engliri and Leovich, were considered cinches for that honor this year, if they hadn't returned. Coast Football Pictorial E-v. wMmMmmmmm A,k liyn null i iiiniiir -onr . f m TROJANS BOW TO HEAVY OREGON TEAM BEFORE CROWD OF 35,000 After losing to Ohio State last week, 33 to 0, University of Southern California dropped another one to the Oregon Webfoots, 20 to 6. Above, Oregon's Bill Dunlap climbs right over a pile of players, is finally dropped by Mel Bleek er (15) Trojan halfbaek. ' . ' ' ' The reason those Beavers whipped Stanford and before that Washington is that one of the biggest prima donnas on the coast wasn't around to impregnate any dissension among the Bea vers. Last year when the Beavers lost to the University of Oregon by m 20 to 0 score, the officialdom at the Corvallis institution and coach Lon Stiner himself denied there had been any dissension prior to the game, as yours truly printed after being given the details by an authoritative and unimpeach able source .... very close to the Oregon State team. . We said at that time that Jim Kisselburgh and Joe - Day had tangled orally the night before the Oregon-O. S C. clash, that Bob Olson had sided with Day, as had most of the team, and that Lon Stiner had to plead with the participants to stop it ao, they could put a team onto the field against Oregon. Said the Oregon State- Ba rometer about the article: " . . . . on the list is the perennial trouble-maker, halt-pint Buck Buchwach .... his remarks have been compared to those spouted by Mussolini, the electric horn of Italy .... makes unfounded, un confirmed, and absolutely false statements about Oregon State's team and mentor .... Joe Day lays 'It's a downright He, the guy who wrote such things must have been having pipe dreams .... or else he'd been drinking too much. " That was last year, you under stand, and how we were a very naughty boy .... saying those nasty untrue things .... question ing the "peaceful, friendly, demo cratic spirit" that existed on the Oregon State football team. Then the Beavers started click ing this year .... after all the big stars had departed .... after the key men had been lost. During the week before the game with the Stanford team there appeared in the Portland Oregon Journal one of the reasons why the Oregon State team was strong er, was clicking this year. And that reason was that apparently there was fine teamwork and none of the dissension of last year. Or maybe it said "rumored dissen sion." The fact remains that even the most rabid Oregon State fan must admit to his conscience now there was dissension on the Ore eon State football team last fall. Kisselburgh was a prima donna, hated by most of the players en his own club, Just as Paul Va lentl occupied that unique po sition on the Beaver basketball team last season. This year there are no "big shot" or self announced stars on the Oregon State football team. They're just a bunch of kids working together for a common cause, and the results speak for themselves. They're a great team, and should get stronger .... and we, (like most Oregon rooters who ippreciate the fact that good foot ball teams bring good publicity to the state from all over the eountry), wish them luck . . . . until November 29th. But Just to keep the ledger In good ondition, we did not print our remarks last year without justtflation; we did not get to gether with Dick Strlte and dream them up on the way home from Corvallis after the game, as ft brilliant Oregon State columnist wrote to the Oregon Journal ports department. We did not throw any below-the-bejt punches. We aimed right for the nose, nd If that portion of the Oregon State football team's anatomy was vulnerable, it was not our fault that blood was spilled and feelings hurt. It was up to Ore gon State's grid personnel to eliminate that physiological eon lltlon. . . And apparently, as the Beaver rid record indicates, the Oregon Stat athletic department did ... . DOWN THE MIDDLE FOR AN OREGON TOUCHDOWN A down-the-middle pass from halfback Curt Mecham to end Bill Regner (23) sailed between fullback Bob Mustek (45) and halfback Mel Bleeker (15), Southern California defenders, to net seven yards and Oregon's first touchdown in their game at Los Angeles.

Beavers Draw Rest Oregon State won the game 10 to 0 and earned it. The Beavers, unimpressed by the importance of their Opponents from the south, were charging on. every play. They actually clinched the win with first period field goal. Those three points looked good as gold as the game wore on. Recovery of a turn ble on Stanford's 13 yard line added a touchdown in the third quarter. As it turned out, the extra seven tallies weren't needed. Oregon State draws a bye in this week-end's battling. Stan- ford, meanwhile, has something of a "breather", in its game at home with the University of San Fran cisco. The result doesn't count Jn the conference, standings. Oregon and Washington, both back in the role of contenders as the result of latest victories, fig ure to get by their next league op ponents, the former meeting Cali fornia at Portland and Washington going into action against the Uni versity of California at Los An geles, at Seattle. The Oregon crew, big and tough. turned in an impressive 20-to-6 win over Southern California with Curtis Mecham, southpaw tossing right halfback, stealing the show; California, lacking its best halt back threat, Jim Jurkovich, drop, ped a 13-to-o decision to Santa Clara, but showed a stout line in the first half. Broncos Meet Michigan State Washington, on comeback road after losing to Oregon State, 9-6, a week ago, bumped Washington State down the ladder with a 23- 13 count. Washington really pour ed on the power for this one. The W. S. C. record, therefore, shows two conference loses and in this respect it is in a class by itself. Washington State travels to Los Angeles tb meet Southern Califor nia this Saturday, in what shapes up as a toss-up contest. Going into the fourth week of football, only one major team en joys an unmarred record. It be longs, to Santa Clara. The Broncos won their first two games on the strength of a half a dozen basic plays and then cracked down on California in the renewal of this rivalry discontinued four seasons ago. Santa Clara comes up this Sat urday with the first lntersectlonal game in this section, meeting Mich igan State at San Francisco. The Broncos figure on mere opposi tion from the mid-western teani than they've had thus tar. Michi gan State gave Big Michigan a tough, if losing battle and came through fdr .an upset win over Marquette last week. Montana should defeat Gonzaga in a non-conterence game at Mis soula this Saturday. Cochrane Refuses Tiff If Manager Is Barred SUMMIT. 'N.
