Miss Boston Game It appeared mora than likely tHat ; Oregon quarterback Hal Dunham will sit out his second tj-aight Webfoot contest when the team plays at Boston Saturday. JDunham, regular quarterback until he sprained his ankle in the Washington State game 10 days afcjo, was in uniform, at Tuesday drills, but he threw only one pass lr aerial drills. In dummy scrim mage, Dunham didn't work at all, freshman George Shaw and adbhomore Barney -Holland did mpst of the quarterbacking along With Wally Russell. Jshaw fired two "touchdown" passes to Ted Anderson in the dijmmy scrimmage. This is the came combination which netted Oregon's two touchdowns in last Saturday's 14-13 win over laano. Shaw also completed one mighty heave of 50 yards to Wpyne Johnson. Another fresh man, Lloyd Powell, also looked gobd on the receiving end of sev eral tosses. The Ducks also worked- on the optional run-pass play, wfjich wasn't used at all against 1119 Valiums, Willi uuii oiutin mir necting with Kay Karnofski once lot a score. t"his was the seventh straight drill' without any body contact wdrlc. Instead, the,backs tuned up on, running and passing offense, while the lineman practiced de fensive maneuvers against the Junior varsity. The Oregon traveling squad for the) Boston game is to be an nounced Wednesday. The 37-men making the cross-continent trip leave here by plane Wednesday niflht arriving in Boston Thurs day. Terriers Perfect Pass Defense for UO Game WESTON, Mass., Nov. 7 (P) Coach Buff Donelli of Boston Uni versity drilled his squad on pass defense Tuesday in anticipation of a big aerial attack by Oregon in Saturday's intcrscctlonal clash in Boston's Fenway Park. The contest figures to bo a real air! duel. Oregon, with star pas ser, George Shaw, a freshman, is ranked sixth nationally in for ward passing. Boston University, with the capable Harry Agganis doing most of the tossing, is rated leventh in that department. The BU pass defense has been good this year, although Donelli admits "We've been hurt some by pasfing." The Terriers have al lowed 37 completions on 104 tries.

' I ' 'k ' " '' NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (IP) Ollie Matson, the elusive fullback of San Francisco, seems to have the 1951 ground-gaining title all wrapped up. The 6-2, 205-pound line-smasn- er has amassed 127D yards rush ing to lead Johnny Bright of Drake, his nearest competitor, by 352 yards. The high-striding Bright, who led the nation in ball-carrying for the past two sea sons, has totaled 927 yards, but he is through for the year. Despite playing with a broken jaw, the Drake senior rolled up 106 yards rushing against Great Lakes last Saturday. However, he reinjured the jaw and definitely will be out of action when Drake ends its season this week against Wichita. According to statistics released by the NCAA service bureau Wednesday, Bright tops the nation in total offense with 1553 yards, but he will be hard-pressed to re- U Bowl PrnnywtKfl PniCi slinnrd n S-l virtnr! vcr on GuorrliT l.umlwr Tursdny nttfht Willi Kny lloffmim rolling hitih srrlos. filtl, innd Al Dirt.

Williams' Trade To Chisox Fails CHICAGO.'Nov. 7 CUB Lou Boudrcau, new manager of the gold-plated Boston Red Sox, was willing to shed his top salaried employe, Ted Williams, for i;ni cago's Chico Carrasqucl Wednes day, but the White Sox weren't ready to deal. "I'm afraid that (Paul) Rich ards is going to have to worry along with Carrnsquel for a while longer," Gen. Mgr. Frank Lane said. "No, Carrasquel Is one of the fellows we're going to keep," Lane added. "We'll deal a lot of fel lows, but Carrasquel, (Orestes) Minoso, (Nelson) Fox, (Eddie) Robinson, (Billy) Pierce, - and (Saul) Rogovin, we're going to keep those." Boudrcau disclosed that the Red Sox already have discussed a Williams-Carrasquel dicker with the White Sox, but Lane said the negotiations were indirect. Lane agreed that he'd talk to the Red Sox about getting Wil liams, but not at the price of Car rasqucl. "Who wouldn't want Williams?" he nsked. "There's a lot of ball players around we'd like, and Williams is one of them. But we won't give up Carrasquel to get him. But we might give up other players or money or something for him." Shaw Nears Mark in Interceptions Cameron, Gifford Set Coast Offensive Pace tain his crown. Matson, who has two more games remaining, pick ed up 228 yards against Santa Clara on Sunday to bring his sec ond Dlace total to 1279 yards. which is also his ground-gaming figure. Frank Gifford, Southern California, issixth with 658 yards gained on 136 rushes in eight games. Matson has also scared the most touchdowns in collegiate circles, 17, and heads the nation s scoring parade with 102 points. Matson Is closing the gap rap idly in his quest to eclipse the all- time season rushing records for number of carries, yards gained and average yards per game. He has carried the pigskin 185 times, 44 less than Byron Town send's record of 228, which the Texas back established last year. The Dons' ace needs 292 yards in his last two games to better the mark of 1570 yards set by Fred Wendt of Texas Mines in 1948. His seven-game average is 182.7 yards. Wendt is the present record-holder with 157 yards per game. Oklahoma's Buck.McPhail paces the rushers in " yards-per-carry with 58 plunges for 574 yards and a 9.9 average. Don Babers, Oklahoma A & M's sophomore quarterback, is the forward passing completion lead er with 105. Don Klosterman of Loyola (Calif.), 101, and Babe Parilli of Kentucky, 98, in their final seasons are setting career completion records every time out. Klosterman has connected for 310 passes and Parilli 293 to top the mark of 291 previously held by John Ford, of Hardin-Simmons and Sammy Baugh of TCU.

SC Indiana Coach Smith Resigns Hoosiers Looking For Grid Mentor i BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 7 (fl) Indiana University began looking for something it never has had a football coach who can win consistently in the Western Conference. Officials had no idea who he could be. Clyde B. Smith is the tenth who couldn't make it. He resigned Tuesday, effective at the end of this season, with two years to go on his contract. Alvin N. "Bo" McMillin, Smith's predecessor at Indiana, came clos est to a winning record in Big Ten competition. His 14 I. U. teams broke even in the tough circuit, winning 34, losing 34 and tying six. His 1945 team won Indiana's only conference cham pionship. ' Smith, a short muscular man who refrains from liquor, tobacco and profanity, walked into athletic director Paul "Pooch" Harrells office and said he was quitting because "I'd like to be happy for the next three weeks and coach the boys like they deserve to be coached." He did not elaborate. Smith's four teams at Indiana have won eight games, lost 24 and tied one well under the Univer sity's all-time 218-220-36 record. In the Big Ten they have won four and lost 17, also under the 67-143-18 record. Scattered alumni began sniping at Smith after his current squad, expected to be liis best, lost one sided games to Notre Dame and Michigan and defeated Pittsburgh by only one. touchdown, The clamor subsided for a time after Oct. 20 when Indiana upset Ohio State, 32-10. UO Sixth National in massing oitense NEW YORK, Nov. 7 UP) Holy Cross' powerful Crusaders keep on rolling up the yardage. The once beaten New Englandcrs, for the fifth time in six weeks, top the nation's major footbal teams in tearing up and down the gridiron with a prodigious average of 455 yards per game. Coach Eddie Anderson is pleased at the figures but he undoubtedly would settle for less yardage if it would bring victories over his next four opponents. That could assure the Crusaders of a bowl trip on New Year's Day. Holy Cross accounted for 334.5 of its average by ground plays and 120.5 via the air. College of Pacific, which has averaged 70 ground plays per game, leads the way in rushing with an average of 342.6. Loyola of California, with Don Kloster man pitching passed every time you look around, is first in passing with an average of 217.3 yards per game. "The figures, released Tuesday by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau's mathematical master minds, shows Tulsa second in total offense with 449.3 and second in ' rushing with 337.2. j Princeton moved into third place j in overall oifense with a 422.0 av- j erage.
