Friday Night Duck-UCLA
Clash Rated West's Best
Lo Angeles, Sept. SO P Am
bition! Oregon and surprising
UCLA meet tonight In what
probably will be the most im
portant Pacific Coast conference
football fame of the weekend.
Oregon, defending co-cham
pion and unbeaten in conference
combat for 14 games stretching
back two seasons, comes south
this year touted as a solid con
tender for the title.
Tha Bruins of UCLA, who
weren't expected to do much
this fall, have scored successive
wins over Oregon State and
Iowa, and displayed surprising
strength in registering them.
Upwards of 40,000 fans are
expected to see whether (1) Or
egon Is all that it is cracked up
to be, or (2) whether UCLA is
a real darkhorse title contender.
The Oregons lost four out

Coach Jim Aiken supposedly
has shifted his offense to off

Hank Decker, the impressive
transfer from St. Mary's and
key man on McArthur's squad,
sustained a leg injury in Tues
day night's scrimmage and is a
doubtful starter Saturday. A
veteran end, Decker strained a
muscle and will probably be out
of the lineup for two weeks.
Backs Aubrey "Corky" Van
Loo, and Robin Lee, have been
slowed up by the menace to all
athl e t a , the "charley-horse."
Ralph Capasso, because of his
brilliant display of running
ability against the Whidby Isl
and Naval crew, has been giv
en the nod by McArthur to fill
Van Loo's shoes at the left half
back post. Lee will start at his
regular right half slot, but So
phomore Bob Funk, a terrific
blocker, will no doubt see lots
of action at the right halfback
position.
Ray Cummings, 180 pound
scrapper from Salem, Is ex
pected to get the starting nod
from Mentor McArthur for
the center post. Cummings is a
freshman, and his showing du

earned for him starting berth,
Tom Thayer is a possible
starter at tackle. H 1 s hustle
during workouts this week has
made a toss-up out of the
starting right tackle berth
between Thayer and Bud Mar
shall. Archie Padberg has
been moved to the guard sta
tion to strengthen the center
of the line.
Quarterback duties have been
divided between Roger Dasch
and Abe Johnson during work
outs this week and either one
could start in the Linfield en

The Pacific Coast league play
offs are now squared all around
with each of the four clubs
boasting a 1-1 record.
The Sacramento S o 1 o n s
evened up last night with the
champion Hollywoods by virtue
of two unearned runs in the 10th
inning. The Stars' shortstop
George Genovese bobbled two
chances to put two runners on
base. Then Joe Marty singled
one home and Jim Tabor
smacked a long fly to send in
the other. The final score was
4-2.
San Diego racked up six runs
in the first three innings and
went on from there to take a
9 to 6 decision from Oakland.
The Oaks threw a scare into the
Padres in the sixth when Dick
Kryhoski slammed a three-run
homer to make the score 7-5.
The Oaks added another one in
the seventh but the Padres
picked up two in the eighth to
clinch it.
