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

mage play, resulted in the first

net yards, caught two passes for
79 yards and did most ot tne ure

GEORGE SHAW SCORES ON AN 18-YARD BOOTLEG Shaw's play
developed here, on about the 10-yard line, where he was chased by
two San Jose linemen, Hank Sckoch (38) and Jim Hughes (72), but soon
afterwards he cut down the sidelines and sidestepped Roy Hiram to

streak into the end zone for Oregon's fourth touchdown in the first
seven minutes of the final period. 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.

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,

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.

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.
Another is 12-year-old Norman Patera, Jack's brother who
scored three touchdowns for St. Phillips in the Portland CYO
(Federal) League last weekend, bringing to 12 his total touch
downs for the season. He is a 121-pound right halfback. . . .
