Staters Down Cougars 1 3 to 0; Oregon Beaten by Uclans, 1 6 to 6 PAGE TWO Kisselburgh Shows Old Time Power For First Touch down After Slow Start. Bell Field, Corvallls, Ore., Oct. 28 (JP) Oregon State strengthened its undefeated and untied position in the Pacific Coast football conference by downing a tricky but outclassed Washington State team, 13 to 0, before 8000 spectators. A substitute backfield sparked by Fullback Ken Dow, 195 pounds of driving power from Great Falls, Mont., took over In the second quarter and put the Beavers out in front. This was after a fired up Cougar quad held the Beavers without a single down in the opening quarter. Dow was the outstanding ball carrier of the day, rolling up 79 yards in 13 tries at the Cougar line. With O. S. C. leading 7 to 0 and six minutes left in the game, Big Jim Kisselburgh showed some of his old fullback form by taking the ball on the Cougar 35, blasting over right tackle Into the open where he dodged two backfield men and scoring standing up. Leonard Younce, who kicked the first try for point, had the second one blocked. Washington State made its strongest bid early in the fourth quarter. The Cougars started on their own 10, recovered a fumbled punt on their 44 from where a pass, Sewell to Greeley, carried to the Beaver 31. The drive went on to the 18 where John Tsoutsouvas, Beaver cen ter, intercepted Sewell's third down pass and started the Beav er drive that ended in the sec ond touchdown. Oregon State showed tremen dous power in the pinches and on defense prevented consistent gains in dangerous territory. The first scoring drive started on the Beaver 45 yard line with Dow smashing through the line lor long gains and Bob Olson passing to Joe Tomich for one 29 yard gain. Dow scored on the second piny after a first down on the Cougar four. Late in the third quarter, this same combination drove to the mmimi PRESENT 111 1HI PIN1IH MAT COUNT! . .

F By Russell Newland. Berkeley, Cal., Oct. 28. (AP) Southern California's thundering Trojans passed and pounded one lap nearer to the goal of most football teams the Rose Bowl today with a smashing 26 to 0 victory over University of Cali fornia's Bears in one of the an nual classics of the far western season. Three devastating surges in the third quarter turned the contest from a fairly close bat tle into a wild rout. The Tro jans scored three times, twice on successive drives after tak ing kickoffs. It was the most one-sided win in this series since 1926. When the debacle was over, some 50, 000 fans were thoroughly con vinced they had been watching a Southern California eleven which potentially is one of the most powerful in many a year.

(AP) University of California at Los Angeles in two spectacular playr knocked Oregon out of the Pa cific Coast conference undefeat ed rank today, bowling the stub born Webfoots over, 16 to 6, be fore 40,000 grid fans in Memo rial coliseum. A tremendous forward pass by Kenny Washington to his dusky halfback companion, Jackie Robinson, good for 66 yards, brought one touchdown, and Robinson broke the Oregon spirit in the third period with an 82-yard sprint for the second Bruin tally. , A first period field goal by Jack Somers, towering Bruin guard, from the 30-yard line, started the Uclans off to the triumph. The Webfoots got all the heartbreaks, outplayed the flashy Bruins, and put over their lone touchdown on a sustained 63 - yard drive, Bob Smith punching the ball across on the final lunge, but the two Bruin backs and their two scoring plays decided the ball game. Three costly fumbles robbed Oregon of a chance to win. One came on the one-yard line after a 62-yard march. The Bruin field goal came after a fumble on the Oregon 22. The result left Coach Babe Horrell's Uclans in the Rose Bowl running. They are un beaten, but tied by Stanford. Oregon took a 6-3 lead in the second period, with Smith and Johnny Berry charging the ball downfield before a crumbling Bruin line. An 18-yard pass. Smith to Dennis Donovan, put the ball on the 11. and Smith carried it across in two line smashes. A moment later the picture was changed. With the ball on the 34, Washington dropped back and passed to the swift-footed Robinson, racing down in the shadows of the Oregon goal posts. He caught it around the 20 and outdistanced the Oregon lads for the score. Robinson missed the conversion. One play, 68 yards a touch down. Oregon, In the third period, drove to the one-yard line and Smith fumbled to Sommcrs. Oregon came back but Robinson intercepted a pass on his own 18. On the first play Robinson on a reverse streaked down the north sideline for the second touchdown. One play, 82 yards a touchdown. Discouraged, Oregon kept plugging. The Webfoots gained S.il yards to 183 yards on run ning plays, and registered 16 first downs to the Bruins four, but to no avnll. UCLA's second string backfield, late in the fourth period, reached the Ore gon 6 -yard line, but Fullback Leo Cantor fumbled away the threat. Starting lineups: Oregon Pos. UCLA H.

Duke Pettigrove WASHINGTON WINS STORY BOOK GAME 8-5 Seattle. Oct. 28. (IP) Maybe the baseball weather a warm. sunny day had something to do with it, but the University of Washington Huskies turned In their first victory of the season today over the Stanford Indians by a baseball score of 8 to 5. The victory, Washington's first in five starts, so enthused the w 1 n-h u n g r y Washington rooters that they swarmed on the field after the game and tore down their own goal posts. It was a thriller with loads of spectacular passes, fumbles and missed opportunities and the outcome wasn't certain un til the final gun as the crowd of 20,000 homecoming fans gnawed their fingernails. There were two safeties one legiti mate and the other borrowed rrom aie a neia goal and a touchdown. Washington drew first blood in the first quarter when Norm Standlee, the big Card fullback tried to run the ball out of his end zone from punt formation, and Yarr of Washington charged in and threw him into his own scoring territory. The Huskies then punched and passed to the Card 13 be fore losing the ball on downs in the second period. After Stan ford kicked, the Huskies fum bled on their own 33 and Stand lee engineered a drive to the Husky eight. After three plays gained four yards, halfback Groves place-kicked a Stanford field goal and the big red team was ahead, 3 to 2. Washington took command In the third period, marching and soaring 75 yards for a touch down. Stanford's belated passing at tack wasn't wheeled out until the last quarter. One Stanford drive ended on the Husky 19. After a bad pass from center forced McAdams to punt poorly to his own 13, the Indians failed by inches to make a first down on the Washington 3. At this point Coach Jimmy Phelan rushed in sub quarter back Elmer Berg and from punt formation he 'stepped back of his own end zone, automati cally giving Stanford a safety, similar to strategy used by Yale against Army last week. PELICANS VICTOR PASS, 12-7 Klamath Falls, Oct. 28 (IP) The Grants Pass Cavemen made the old hidden ball play work last night but the Klamath Falls Pelicans won the game. 12-7. The Pelicans scored twice in the third period, first on a 50- yard march and again after a 25-yard pass put them on the Caveman four yard line. In the fourth quarter Newman scored for Giants Pass on a 50 yard sprint after lurking behind! the line while the Pelicans broke' up a fake play.

Medford's Black Tornado got back in high-scoring stride against Bend at the stadium Friday night, smashing across for two touchdowns in the open ing quarter and one in each suc ceeding period to crush the Lava Bears, 34 to 13, before 3,500 customers. The Lava Bears, coming here with a fine record that showed only one defeat, never had a chance as the Tiger forward wall shattered the oppositions defenses and the speedy Med- ford backs galloped almost at will. Ike Orr, sub fullback, led the Tornado's five-touchdown pa rade. The sophomore flash tal lied twice, once on a slashing 35-yard run, and piled up 110 yards from scrimmage in 15 ball-enrrvincr nttmc fnr an average of 7.3.

C. "MAC" McKENNA ART HESS JUNIOR HI WALLOP KLAMATH Medford junior high school's gridiron youngsters got sweet revenge for the 14 to 0 set back they suffered at the handi of the Klamath high freshmen two weeks ago, defeating the baby Pelicans at the stadium last night, 19 to 0, with three lightning scoring strokes In the second quarter. The score doesn't begin to tell the story of Medford's superior ity in every department of the game. Twice more, in addition to the three touchdown drives, the yellow-clad juniors penetrated deep into Klamath territory, on ly to lose the ball on intercepted passes, and they threw up such a stiff defense that Klamath Falls was unable to once get past midfield. The first of Medford's three touchdowns in the second per iod was engineered by a couple of fellows named Steve. Steve Dipple, quarterback, lined a 25 yard forward pass to Steve Isaacs, halfback, and the latter raced 20 more yards to cross the goal line. A few moments later Dipple returned a Klamath punt 17 yards to open the locals' second scoring march. From the Klam ath 20 Barker swept his own right end for nine, then picked up four more at right tackle. A pass from Barker to Isaacs was ruled complete on the five yard line, when Klamath interfered with the receiver, and another pass placed the ball on the one half yard stripe. This was from Barker to Ricks. Cliff Jones then rammed it over, hitting off Klamath's right tackle on a re verse. Jones converted with a piacekick. Big Stan Smith set up Med ford's third score just before the half ended when he fell on the ball on the one-yard line after the .junior forward wall had slammed through to block a Klamath punt on the 20, the pigskin rolling almost into the end zone. Jones then hammered over right guard for the touch down. San Jose Wins San Jose.
