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.

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 ... .

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

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.
