' Lot Angeles, Sept. 27. (JPh
Luck and two substitute bock
field players give the Univer
sity of Southern California vic
tory over the Oregon State
Beavers today a triumph reg
istered In the final 17 seconds
of a bitterly contested Pacific
coast conference game.
The two unsuntf substitutes,
quarterback Ray Woods and
halfback Doug Essick, com
pleted a pass In the waning
seconds that gave the Trojans
a 13 to 7 win over the Oregon
Staters in the season's opener
for both elevens.
. Forty-five thousand fans
walked out of Memorial coli
seum limp from the spine ting
ling last minute win.
The winning pass climaxed a
spectacular aerial attack launch
ed by Bobby Robertson, first
string quarterback who suc
ceeded in making himself a
hero instead of a goat In the
game. The Trojans traveled
swiftly from mtdfleld to reach
.the Oregon State six-yard line,
end then two substitutes took
over and completed the job
.before the clock stopped them.
- Oregon State got off to a 7-0
lead In the first period, due
chiefly because Robertson fum
bled punt inside the five yard
tripe. The Beavers fumbled
the chance away momentarily,
.but deadly passing pair, Bob
'Detham and Don Durdan,
blazed away and soon the seven
points were on the scoreboard.
Southern California, playing
for the first time for their new
head coach, Sam Barry, partial
ly blocked an ( regon State
punt In the seco i period in
Beaver terrltny. and soon
evened the score on pass from
Robertson to this same Doug
Essick, rangy, glue-fingered
lad who can either play half
or end. He played halfback
and starred at the end of the
game today.
: The game rocked on Into the
fourth quarter. Robertson un
corked a 80-yard run to the
enemy 20, but It went for
naught. The visitors had a real
line. Oregon State twice was
topped In the last quarter when
they hit scoring territory once
they were stopped on the Tro
jan three-yard line.
It looked like a deadlock un
til Robertson caught fire in the
last two minutes. He passed to
Ralph Hey wood for 21 yards,
to his other regular end. Bob
Jones, for IS. He picked up
three yards while flirting with
Die clock, and when the Ore
gon Staters were set back to the
aix for roughing things up a
bit, in came little Ray Woods.
Ha lofted a pass to the tow
ering Essick, who leaped and
grabbed it out of the hungry
reach of two defensive men and
came down with his feet Just
barely Inside the end rone line.

OUT SUM 14 TO 6
Berkeley, Calif., Sept. 27. I
UPI A halfback named Jim Jur
kovlch gave 03,000 football fans
a foretaste of California's power
today by leading the Golden
Bears to a 31 to 0 victory over
a hopelessly outclassed St
Mary's team.
The score could just as well
have been SO to 0 but Coach
Stub Allison started pulling out
his veteran first stringers at the
end of the first period, after the
speedy Jurkovich had run and
passed the Bears to three touch
downs and clearly demonstrated
that the Gaels didn't have what
it takes to cope with the mighty
California line.
The game was scarcely three
minutes old when California,
getting the ball on the Gaels' 34
on the first of a series of disas
trous St. Mary's fumbles, cut
loose with a line smashing at
tack that brought a score on two
plays. McQuary placeklcked the
extra point.
. Five minutes later St. Mary's
again fumbled and the Golden
Bears' right tackle, George Her
rero, recovered on the Gaels' 32
Jurkovich passed seven yards
to Dunn, then picked himself a
hole between his left end and
tackle and drove through It for
a first down on St. Mary's 20.
Jurkovich made eight over his
own right guard, went to first
down on the five and then turn
ed the (coring Job over to Mc
Quary, who lunged over right
tackle for the touchdown. Mc
Quary missed his try for place
ment The Golden Bears quickly
grabbed the offensive again Just
before the period ended. Taking
the ball on St. Mary s 41, Jurko
vich passed a long one to Left
End Stu Lewis, who caught it on
the 10 and was dropped on the
St. Mary's eight. The Gaels were
penalized for offside, and, after
a couple drives Into the line
failed to gain, Jurkovich took
it around his left end for the
third touchdown. McQuary
again missed the try for place
ment.

OLD TIME SPIRIT,
BEATS CORVALLIS
Cato Wray's Run Ignites
Spree Blocking, Tack
ling Improved.
Blocking and tackling like
madmen and displaying all the
fire and spirit that were missing
in their opening game against
Weed last week, Medford's Black
Tornado roared to a 41 to 0
triumph over the gigantic Cor
vallls high Spartans at the
stadium Friday night as some
2.500,trectators watched their
incredibly-Improved eleven send
six different players into the end
zone for touchdowns and out
play their heavier opponents by
10 city blocks in every depart
ment of the game.
The flame of victory was Ig
nited midway through the first
period when Cato Wray, on a
beautifully-executed play, shot
off his own right tackle, cut
back and raced 68 yards to the
goal line. From that moment
on the Tigers were In complete
command of the contest, ringing
the bell twice more in the sec
ond quarter, once in the third
and two more times In the final
heat.
Coach Bill Bowerman sent 32
players into the battle, but it
mattered little whither it was
the first team, the seconds or
the thirds troddlng the turf. It
was simply a parade of touch
downs, an exhibition of savage
downfield and line blocking and
equally effective defensive,
work that the Tornado threw I
against the team that was ex-1
petted to give them one of their
hardest tussles.
So tough was Medford's for
ward wall, not only the regulars
but the hordes of reserves as
well, that the Spartans were
able to gain only 46 yards from
scrimmage. And so alert was
the Tigers' defence against
aerials that of 18 passes the
Spartans attempted, only six
were completed and four were
intercepted, two of the latter be
ing boomeranged into Tornado
touchdowns.
On the other band Medford's
smootn-working offense, operat
ing mostly from the Notre Dame
box but with an occasional T
formation maneuver keeping the
opposition guessing, produced
ivi yards from scrimmage and
105 yards from passes.
Cliff Jones tallied Medford's
second touchdown toon after the
second period opened, bitting
over the Corvaui left guara
from three yards out after a 16
yara pass from Wray to Ike Orr,
a 14-yard aerial shot txoru Wray
to Big Bill Wall, and nice gains
by Wray and Orr had moveu the
locals from the Corvailis 42-yard
line.
'ibat made it 14 to 0, and It
wasn't three minutes later until
Curt Hopkins, intercepting Mc
Donald's forward pass on the
l&rvallis 34-yard stripe, eludea
two would-be tackiers ana
sprinted aown the north side
lines to pay dirt.
The 1 igers went Into the third
period with a 21 to 0 bulge.
wmcn was increased to 2d-u in
ihe late moments of the quarter
when Wray fired an Its-yard pass
to Ike Orr, who ran 20 more
yards Into the end zone.
It was mainly a team of sec
ond and third stringers who
operated for the Tigers in the
tourth quarter, and they did
themselves proud by striking tor
two more touchdowns. The tirsi
came when Jimmy Glenn, who
was shifted to fullback after
starting the game at guard, ex
ploded through a quick-opening
hole at center on a "T" play

boy they've been talking up as

pound halfback Bruce ' Smith,
lived up to all the advanco
notices today before 43,000 im
pressed spectators as he led the
mighty Minnesota Gophers to
a 14-8 victory over the Univer
sity of Washington.
The lntersectional vrlHIrnn

offensive to score touchdowns
in the second and tourth quar
ters. And It was the toe of Bill
Corneas. Dlavins hii flrat
season, that made victory
doubly sure, because the Goph
ers were only leading 7-8 up
to the last two minutes of play
Washington had made a ball
game of it In the third quarter
aided by a break deep In Min
nesota territory. From the 14
yard line, Washington halfback
Ernie Steele ran back to his
right to pass, was cornered, re
versed his field and ran down
the left sidelines to score stand
ing up In the corner.
But the puss from center hop
ped and hobbled back to Steele,
who was to hold the ball for
sub quarterback Elmer Berg,
and Minnesota recovered the
bounding porkhlde to save Its
one-point lead.
It was a rough, tough battle
up front where th h,hnti,,
did their bruising. The Minne
sota forwards appeared tired
when Washington was getting
its score, and later didn't hi.
the punch as the stalwart Wash
insions held the Gophers for
downs on the one-yard line af
ter four cracks from the eight.
But Coach Bcrnle Blerman of
Minnesota, astutely Jugglln his
manpower, managed n "r-f
some of his key linemen like
Urban Odson and Dick Wlldung,
hefty tackles, and they had
enough soup left to push over
the cllncf er Just before the
finish, with the driving Smith
lugging the ball.

and rambled 14 yards for the
score. Two minutes before the
game ended Hal Adams, 144
pound sub left halfback, inter
cepted a Corvailis pass on the
Corvailis 28-yard line and, with
a terrific exhibition of broken
field running, twisted, turned
and change-of-paced nu way
back across the goal line. It
wa a gorgeous run, for Hal was
hit no less than eight times, but
he kept his feet, kept spinning
and shifting to finally break in
to the clear.
A perfect example of the fine
downfield blocking shown by the
Tigers occurred on that 66-yard
scoring run of Wray's. Jones
and Bob Stead took care of the
Corvailis left end, Orr knocked
down the fullback, Glenn and
Hopkins took out the two half
backs and Bob Mitchell liqui
dated the safety. Not a hand
was laid on the flying Wray. It
was a perfect play.
Every back that got into the
game, and there were 13 of
them, showed to excellent ad
vantage. They have learned
well the tricks so capably
taught them by Ed Kirtley, back
field mentor. Ike Orr is appar
ently back up to his fine block
ing and tackling standard, but
has not yet hit his potential ball
carrying stride. Steve Dippe)
ripped off a sweet 47-yard run
to set up Glenn's touchdown in
the fourth quarter, and came up 1
with a 57-yard gallop to score
earlier in the period, but the
run was called back on a Med- j
ford clipping penalty. However, '
Steve appeared a little out of
condition.
