He had plenty of help from his mates, especially a trio of promising sophomores End Phil McHugh, Guard fteanous Cochrane and Halfback Tom Crabtree. The Coos Bay back did a fine job of understudying Dick James, benched with injuries that would not have prevented his service. Coach Bob Bronzan's Spartans, who entered the game with a 3-1 record, failed to live up the ex pectations, although they once drove 75 yards without scoring and then capitalized on a puny punt by the Webfoots that re sulted in a 36-yard spree that sent Tony Teresa into the end zone from five yards out on a fourth-down sneak. Otherwise the Spartans went as far as their own 47 in the first period, the Oregon 41 in the second and to mid-field in the third quarter. Teresa, ex pected to be a secret weapon at both quarter and half, was the leader. San Jose, who lost to California on the strength of 14 fumbles, had eight Saturday and three of them came in the first period to give Oregon possession. The Spar tans' first, on the initial scrim mage play, resulted in the first Oregon score Walt Gaffney scor ing on the third play after Dean VanLeuven had recovered Benny Pierce's backward basketball pass on about the 13. Shaw, whose only weakness was in feeble kickoffs, gained 20 yards on two punt returns and called a smart game. His performance Sat-urday-and his season's totals fol low: SHAW'S PASSING PA PC Int.

Shaw, Oregon's great quarterback, had 66 yards rushing and 137 yards passing to bring his season's total to 1,048 yards. Oregon defeated San Jose 26-7 on sunny Hayward Field Saturday before an estimated 10,000 spectators. SPORTS CLASSIFIED LANE COUNTY'S HOME NEWSPAPER. SECTION C EUGENE, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1954 USC Nudges Ccd 29-27 on Safety LOS ANGELES (B Quarterback Paul Larson and the California Bears built a roaring fire under the Rose Bowl- bound Trojans, but it wasn't hot enough and USC came out on top Saturday in a bitterly waged contest, 29-27. Kemaining unbeaten in .Pacific (Joast Conference play, and dealing tne Dears a near- Grid Scores fatal blow to their bowl aspira tions, the Trojans marched to victory by the margin of a safety scored in the third quarter. Southern California all but eliminated the Bears with a sud den scoring burst late in the final period to go ahead, 29-21. LARSON FIRES But with the clock running out and 66,342 fans hanging op to the finish, iron man Larson swept the Bears 54 yards and completed a scoring strike to end Jim Car michael bringing the final score to 29 to 27. This was California's finest game despite its fourth defeat, and it required an even greater game by the favored Trojans to win. USC forced the Bears Into er rorstwo fumbles and turned the first into a fast touchdown in the first four minutes of the open ing period. The second Cal fumble cost the Bears a touchdown a ball dropped in the Trojan's end zone by halfback John Wilson. , Bolstered by this break the Trojans traveled 48 yards and made it 14-0. The payoff play was a 33-yard pass from quarterback Jim Contratto to left end Church Leimbach. SAFETY COSTS The safety, the deciding factor in the game, came when Larson tried to pass from his own end zone and was dropped for . two points by end Don McFarland. Heroes were many for the rig ged Trojans but the scoring ace and a terror on defense was right halfback Lindon Crow. This fleet one scored three of USC's four touchdowns and it was he who recovered Hal Norris' fumble on the opening kickoff on the Bears' 30 and Wilson's end zone bobble. Larson kept the Bears alive and Troy in distress with both his run ning and throwing. He completed 14 out of 18 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns. BEARS TALLY And his brilliant 84-yard run on a kickoff early in the third to the USC one-yard line, followed by his scoring smash, put the Bears back into the game, 20-14, at this point. End Jim Hanifin caught one Larson touchdown pass from 9 yards out for the Bears' first touchdown, ending a 66-yard drive, making it 14-7, Trojans, at the half. The other regular end, Car michacl fielded a Larson pass for three yards and the final Bear touchdown. Halfback Norris was the other Cal scorer, ending a 36-yard pa rade with a one- yard smash to keep the team going on its futile victory quest. Arnett, the Trojans' scoring ace and back of the week last Saturday, was held to a net 25 yards before going out with an injury in the third period.

( Halfback Bob Pascal scored two touch downs, one on a 52-yard dash off tackle, as Duke came from behind to defeat a stubborn North Caro lina State team Saturday night, 21-7, in the Blue Devils first At lantic Coast Conference game of the season. ir Something for the Oregon footballers to think about before starting their campaign in Seattle next Saturday in an effort to capture the mythical Northern Division championship. . . . The Webfoots haven't beaten a northern opponent other than Idaho since a 21-0 shutout ovcr Washington State in 1948 four straight Cougar triumphs. . . . Tho rivalry between the Ducks and Washington and Oregon State is even mora of a challenge. Last Oregon victories ovcr these two traditional foes came in 104826-7 against Washington and 10-0 against O.S.C. . . . Aggregate scores on the past five years have been: Washington 181, Oregon 51; OSC 77, Oregon 38. . . . In four years against W.S.C.: WSC 88, Oregon 25. . . . First effort in breaking that jinx will be In the Washington game in Seattle next weekend. The Webfoots should have an added incentive to win be sides those 63-6 and 49 0 em barrassments suffered in 1950 and 1951 when the present seniors were freshmen (four wera varsity players as Ducklings) and sophomores. The added item is that Washington copped two Orcgonians who were originally slat ed for the Eugene campus Jim Bird, 239-pound guard and placekicker from North Bend (Hal Reeve's home school) and Jim Dougherty, promising fullback from Klamath Falls. . . . Ore gon is still somewhat bitter because other Oregonians have strayed toward the Seattle campus Dean Parsons of Eugene, Phil Gillis of Bend, Doug Simmons of Astoria and Jerry Langer of Ashland. . . . By the same token there have been some Washington boyi who have strayed to the Eugene campus but the Webfoots still resent the losses. . . What we need is to have the present Oregon talent make a pledge that all of their brothers and sons help furnish future tal entbut right off the bat there seems to be a problem. . . . Wil lard Reeve, Hal's 18-year-old, 200-pound kid brother is regular fullback at North Bend but ho Is thinking of becoming a farm er. As one Webfoot remarked, "Why not have him come to Ore gon and become a smart farmer!" Dean VanLeuven's brother, Darwin, was star halfback for Bandon last year, and is now in tho Army, but due to be dis charged next fall. He was a 170-pound halfback and a high scorer and may come to Oregon. . . . One of Ted Overton's sev eral brothers Is a 6-foot, 175-pound en at Shasta JC and may be an Oregon candidate. There are other brothers coming up to the Oregon foot ball picture, including Dick James' 18-year-old Don, captain and back for Grants Pass' ranking Cavemen. He is a senior who will likely be as large as Dick. He is a high-jumper and a pole vaultcr. ... Arnold Powell, brother of Lloyd, is a Sophomore quarterback for Triangle Lake's six-man team a 150-pound, 5-foot, 9-inch youngster who is a prospect.
