MEMORIAL STADIUM, Berkeley Casanova's Kids
became men Saturday.
Spotting a two-touchdown favored California football
team those two touchdowns in the first seven minutes of
play, the Oregon gridmen lifted themselves up by their
bootstraps to hand the Golden Bears a 33-27 Pacific Coast
Conference setback.
In a high-scoring skirmish that had the 32,000 sun
drenched spectators weary, worn and wilted at the end,
the Bears staged a comeback of their own by scoring twice
in the fourth quarter to make the final five minutes the
most dramatic m Oregon's long years of football history.
The Saturday afternoon will lone be remembered bv a
gang of gridiron fans from Eugene who wouldn't believe,
that Oregon's football team was as inept as the Webfoots

UCLA Nudges
Washington
SEATTLE, Wash. (IP) UCLA,
the nation's second-ranked col
lege football team, eked out a
21-20 victory over amazing Wash
ington Saturday, but in so doing,
had to fight off the terrifying
passing of Husky sophomore
quarterback Bobby Cox to keep
its season's record clean.
Approximately 35,000 scream
ing fans watched untried quarter-
back Cox befuddle UCLA
throughout the second half. Cox
played every second of the game
and tossed all three of Washing
ton's touchdown passes. Only Bob
Dunn's wide try for point kept
the score from being tied.
UCLA took the opening kick
off and six minutes, 61 yards and
10 plays later Davenport was in
the end zone. He bulled over
right tackle from six yards out.
John Hermann kicked the extra
point.
But for the rest of the half, the
mighty Bruin touchdown efforts
crumpled before Washington's
stonewall defense. Three, times
the Huskies staged a goal-line
stand and three times they held.
But defense was about all the
Huskies had in the first half. Not
once did they get into UCLA ter
ritory.
A fumble set up UCLA's sec
ond score. Fullback Stew Crook
bobbled the second half kickoff
return when he was tackled vic
iously on his own 29, and Bob
Bergdahl pounced on the ball.
Five plays later, Davenport bowl
ed over center and went 16 yards
to tally. Hermann converted.
Washington hardly had time to
get the feel of the ball before
UCLA's quarterback, Bergdahl,
intercepted Cox's pass and ran
to Washington's eight. Villan
ueva took charge, passing to end
Bob Lone on the five, banked
for three himself and then swept
right end to score. Halfback
Doug Bradley kicked what prov
ed to be the winning point.
Cox opened Washington's aer
ial barrage in the third quarter,
as first string quarterback Sandy
Lederman watched from the side
lines with a broken leg. UCLA
knew it had a rocket projector on
its hands when Cox heaved a tre
mendous 51-yard pass to halfback
Dean Derby in the end zone. In
this drive, Washington crossed
into UCLA territory for the first
lime.
In the fourth period, the Husk-1
ics got a break when center Del
Jensen flopped on Sam Browns
fumble on the 25.
Five plays later, Derby snared
another Cox pass in the end zone.
Dunns vital try for point was
wide.
With less than three minutes
to go, Cox passed to end Bud
Green, again in the end zone,
Dunn booted the extra point.
Billed months ago as a game
that would be the Rose Bowl de
cider, some of the luster of such
a game had been tarnished But
the Oregon football team couldn't
be contained by the California
giants.
It was certainly an unimpres
sive 1954 Pacific Coast Confer
ence debut for the Bears, who
are more out of the Pasadena pic
ture than are the Webfoots, who
could conceivably go all the way
the remainder of the season with
play ot this kind.
TWO QUICK TALLIES
Oregon's boys apparently didn't
realize that the California Duck
season opened Saturday, although
it looked like it as California
scored twice in the opening min
utes as the result of two costly
fumbles on the first and third
Webfoot offensive plays.
Oregon then started its come
back in the opening four minutes
of the second quarter and before
halftime had another score for a
13-13 deadlock. Three quick
touchdowns on two passes and a
recovered fumble, threatened to
send the game into a rout as the
score mounted to 33-13.
After Paul Larson's 56-yard
touchdown return of a fine
George Shaw punt, to pull the
Bears within six points of
tie and with five minutes of
playing remaining, it looked like
Oregon might fold. But the Web
foots battled back with great
defensive play and had posses
sion of the ball after a fumble
that Lon Stiner recovered on the
Cal 27. The Bears, gaining pos
session on their 21-yard line with
2 minutes and 30 stiionds remain-
nig, had a chance and just before
Larson's fumble he passed to
Johnny Wilson for a first down
on the 39. Oregon s charging line
and two fine stops by Phil Mc
Hugh, sophomore end, helped in
those fleeting seconds.
Shaw, despite a crippled leg,
was never more an All-American.
Although his passing, 12 out of
19, was sensational, his main
forte was superb signal-calling.

He never made a mistake as ha
called his plays like one of the
old wise men. Shaw, himself,
will tell you that his passing
came as the result of great pass
protection. "Only once did a man'
lay a hand on me," he said in ths
dressing room as the top of the
nation's total-offense backs.
Another NCAA leader. Dick
James, kept his record at least
among the leaders, with two pass
receptions.
Oregon's breaks were hard to
come by all season, but alert pass
defense and ball-hawking made
em full of breaks in that import
ant third quarter.
Casanova said he could not
answer the question as to why
Oregon staged its terrific come
back, except for a determination
on the offense, using the flanker
consistently for the first time
this year made the yardage roll.
GOOD SHAPE
Now comes USC in Portland
next Saturday and the players
should be in fine condition, al
though Stiner, James and Ron
Pheister had slight injuries.
Trainer Bob Officer said he be
lieved all would be able to play
next week. Shaw, who ran infre
quently, came- through in better
shape than he has been in two
weeks.
Although Larson's touchdown
run with a punt return was the
most spectacular play, one ot
the most thrilling was Shaw's end
run on fourth down with a half
toot to go in the third quarter
to break the turning point. It
was a masterpiece of deception.
The victory was the ninth for
Oregon against 17 for Cal, with
two tied (including the score
less deadlock here of last year)
and the first Waldorf has lost to
an Oregon or any Northwest team
here in Strawberry Canyon.
Waldorf said:
"I can't recall a game in which
two teams switched around, and
bounced back and forth like this
one. For the first 7 minutes we
played very well, and then in
the first half of the fourth quar
ter. In between, especially dur
ing the third period, we were
lousy.
As I have said many times in
the past, Oregon has a fine team,
though possibly not as strong
either Ohio State or Okla
homa.
"Shaw passed very well. Keith
Tucker was very fast, Ron Pheis
ter was very good. However, I
would prefer not singling out
any one man or men on Oregon.
The whole team did very well.

Dick James, after Walt Gaffney
