Before 10,000 home-coming spectators, the Beaver eleven outclassed the Californlani all the way with a varied offense and a stiff defense which once. In the third period, held the Bruins on the one-yard line (or four downs. The game was played under brilliant sunshine on a dry field. The Oregonians scored In each of the first three periods. Nor man Peters, captain, registered the first touchdown. He snared a short over-the-llne pass from Halfback Don Durdan in the opening quarter. Reserve Fullback Joe Day tal lied touchdown No. 2 with a line smash from the one-yard stripe, climax of a 6 1-yard inarch. The final score was a product of the third period and one of the season's most spec tacular plays. Durdan, relin quishing his customary passing role to Halfback Bob Dethman, dived across the goal line and caught a pass In mid-air. He was almost flat on his tummy when he tucked the ball to his' bosom. Utility Halfback War ren Simas, goal-kicking special ist, missed the first two conver sion kicks but made the third. Ucla staved off Oregon State's first thrust when Waterficld, Bruin halfback, recovered Deth man's fumble on the Ucla 10 yard line. But the Beavers were soon In the touchdown threshold again on Durdan s 12-yard end run and a series of penalties against Ucla. Dethman passed to Norman Peters for the touch down from the nine-yard line. Ucla made its first scoring bid Immediately thereafter. Ted Forbes ran the O.S.C kickoff back to the O.S.C. 43 and a series of Bruin passes and re verses carried the ball to the six-yard line. There the Beavers held and a four-down pass over the goal line was grounded. Both teams were exceedingly air-minded and 57 passes were thrown, 32 by Ucla and 25 by O.S.C. The Beavers made 13 of them good for 152 yards, Ucla completing 11 for 109. UCLA Oregon State D. Smith IE Zelllck Finlay LT Bain DeFrancisco ..LG.. Halverson Alder ...C..

The hefty fullback scored three times and a sub end tallied the fourth, all In the single quarter.

IjWAVF OF UPSETS LONGHORNS TIED Feeble Baylor Holds Texas Fordham Loses To Pitt Other scores. ' New York. Nov. 8. P) The football season's first great wave of upsets swept Fordham, Army and Navy off the undefeated list today, saw Texas' powerful Longhorns inexplicably held to a 7-7 draw by Baylor, and left Minnesota, Duke, Texas A and M. and Duquesne as the sole re maining major teams neither beaten nor tied. Fordham'i Rams, victorious In their first five tests and appar ent sure shots for a bowl as signment, were victims of as great a form reversal as the gamo has seen. Matched with Pitt's de-emphasized Panthers who had lost five in a row, Fordham never could get or ganized against the aroused Panthers and dropped a decisive 13-0 decision. Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones, fleet back, and Ralph Fife, crack guard, were heroes of the Pitt conquest, achieved before a slender crowd of 20,000. Harvard Clicks There was no great surprise in the defeat of both service elevens, although most football critics felt Army's finely drilled eleven finally would crack Har vard's defense. It didn't work out that way for Army scored early In the game but Harvard, its offense clicking for the first time this season, pushed over three touchdowns and won easily, 20-6. Navy, tied by Harvard but otherwise all-victorious, gave Notre Dame a great test before 63,000 in Baltimore but suc cumbed to Angelo Bertelll's ac curate passing, 20-13.. Texas disappointing stalemate with Baylor came close to the Pitt upset for sheer surprise. Baylor had been beaten three times, bowing 48-0 to Vexas A. Ac M. for Instance, while, Texas had scared , not less than 34 points in any of its six previous starts. Today the Longhorns were disorganized from the start although It was not until the fourth quarter that Baylor fin ally pushed over the equalizing touchdown. Of the four major teams still unbeaten and untied, Duke, al most certain to wind up un beaten, toyed with Davidson, 56 0, but both Texas A. 8c M. and Minnesota were seriously ex tended. Minnesota found Ne braska a stubborn foe but fin ally won, 9-0. The Texas Aggies had to come from behind to spill Southern Methodist, 21-10. Alabama's crimson tide and Mississippi State moved into the van In the hot Southeastern con ference race. Alabama handed unpredictable Tulane a 20-14 beating. Mississippi State, un beaten but tied once, took a hard-earned 14-7 victory over Auburn. Georgia won a 19 3 triumph over Florida while Geo gia Tech spilled Kentucky, 20-13. Scoring Bea The Big Ten offered one of the game's greatest scoring duels at Columbus, O., where Ohio State conquered Wisconsin In a wild encounter. 40-34. North western was hard pressed to stop Indiana but finally made the grade, 20-14, but Iowa was an easy victor over Illinois, 21- 0. Purdue played a scoreless draw with Michigan State. De troit nipped Marquette, 7-6. Oklahoma ran up a 55-0 count on Iowa State, while Missouri was knocking over New York university, 26-0.

Papier-mache, knewn to the Chinese, was probably the first plastic, chemists say. Ashland Upsets Tigers, 20-13 For First Victory in 12 Years A vastly under-rated Ashland high football machine, led by two great backs, Charlie Jan dreau and Bud Provost, shat tered Medford high's dreams of an undisputed state prep cham pionship by scoring a 20 to 13 upset victory over the hitherto unbeaten and untied Black Tor nado before 3,000 stunned fans at the stadium here Friday night. Deadlocked 13 to 13 at half time, the underdog Grizzlies surged 74 yards in nine plays soon after the third period open ed to send Provost Into the end zone on an 11-yard forward pass from Jandreau, breaking the tie and giving the red and white eleven its first conquest of Med ford since 1929. By virtue of the Ashland win, earned in every respect, the Southern Oregon conference pennant race was thrown into a triple deadlock among Ash land, Medford and Klamath Falls. The crown will thus be shared by these three teams, for the game ended the loop sched ule. Provost, the 160-pound senior fullback, scored all of Ashland's 20 points. He flagged two of Jandreau's bullet aerials in the end zone for touchdowns and raced 87 yards into pay dirt af ter intercepting a Tornado pass on his own 13-yard line. In ad dition, he twice added the extra point on running plays. Medford's reputation as a second-half team was not borne out by events of the spine-tingling contest. Instead, it was Ashland, inspired to a fighting frenzy, which proved the master in the last two quarters. Held to 12 net yards on the ground and 20 in the air in the first half, while Medford was rolling up 177 yards from run ning plays and 12 from passes, the Grizzlies came back to dom inate the last 24 minutes with 90 yards on the ground and 48 in the air to Medford's 31 on land and 43 in the air, Ashland was held to one first down In the first half, while Medford was making 11, but in the second half the Grizzlies accumulated eight to the Tornado's three. That 87-yord touchdown run by Provost ignited the spark that was to flame Into the most start ling upset victory in the modern history of Medford-Ashland grid iron rivalry. It oceurred midway through the first period and gave the Grizzlies a 6 to 0 lead. Medford had marched 38 yards to the Ashland 16, with Cato Wray and Ike Orr providing the momentum on sweeps around the ends, when Wray fired a short third-down pass down the middle. Provost grabbed it, cut to his left and behind great blocking broke into the clear on the 25-yard line and outdistanced all Tornado defenders in the race to the goal line. Jandreau's drop kick for the extra point was blocked. Just before the first quarter ended, the Tornado went ahead, 7 to 6, to climax its best drive of the evening, a 57-yard surge on 13 plays. Jimmy Glenn, who opened the game at fullback, picked up 25 yards in two tries at center, and Orr, Bob Stead and Cliff Jones combined to ad vance the ball to the 10-yard line. Jones then blasted over his own right tackle for the touch down and Curt Hopkins convert ed with a placekick. It appeared as if Jie game were to follow the expected pattern when the Tornado, obtaining the ball on its own 49 soon after the second quarter started, quickly moved to its second touchdown. Stead got six In two T-formation plays at left tackle, Orr raced 20 on another "T" play and then picked up one to the Ashland 24 yard line. Wray, through a quick opening hole at right tackle, went the distance. Hopkins' kick was wide, and it was Medford 13, Ashland 6. Gambling to increase their lead, the Tigers saw their stra tegy backfire Just seconds be fore the half ended. Bill Wall alter catching a pass from Wrav' attempted to lateral, fumbled, and the ball was recovered bv Asniand. Jandreau tl.en stepped back and shot a 20-yard aerial that Provost hauled down in the end zone. Provost then went ov er his own right guard for the extra point to tie the score at 13-all. A great 42-yard kickoff re turn by Medford's Wall as the second half opened placed the ler.ther on the Ashland 30. but the Tigers bogged down and lost the ball on downs on the 26 from which point the Grizzlies launched their game-winning drive. Provost, behind terrific Inter ferrnce. raced 25 yards around left end: then Jandreau. on a cutback over his own right end, POISON OAK? Try a bottle ol 2EMACOL I a mu. be mm. fled or tour mon rhrerrully refunded. Oft a fcollh i lixlay al HLSILKN XUkUlt. picked up 18 to the Medford 31. Jandreau shot pass to Bill Elam good for 10 yards, then circled left end for 11 to the Medford 10. Again Jandreau whipped a pass to Elam, which the latter caught on tne one-yard line, but on the next play Ash land was penalized five yards for a backfield man in motion. Provost failed to gain, Caton got five around left end, and then Jandreau fired 11 yards to Pro vost in the end zone for the ball game. Provost added the extra point by running wide around his own right end. Before the third period ended, and twice in the final chapter, the Tigers advanced Into Ash land territory but were unable to score. Jandreau fumbled a Bill Wall punt on his own 37 In the third quarter and Medford recovered. But a moment later he intercepted a Wray pass on the Ashland 20 and ran it back to the Medford 49. Just before the third quarter closed Bill Bayliss, sub Medford center. Intercepted a Jandreau pass on his own 27, and the Tig ers started another drive which ended when Bob Mitchell, play ing quarterback, fumbled after gaining 17 yards and Ashland re covered on its own 36. Medford's final scoring chance came midway through the last quarter. With the ball on their own 14, the Tigers sent Orr through for four, then Wray passed twice to Orr, once for 10 and one for 33, for a first down on Ashland's 40. Four plays gained only nine yards and Ashland took over on its own 31. With Provost and Jandreau taking turns carrying, Ashland advanced the ball to Medford's 26 as the game ended. The Tigers looked sluggish and Just never could get started in the second half. Their forward wall was consistently outcharged by the lighter Ashland line, and it appeared as if the locals, star ing defeat in the face, tightened up and started to press, with the result that their play-timing was thrown out of gear and their defensive work was uncertain. Provost shouldered the bulk of the Ashland offensive load, carrying the ball 19 times for 57 net yards, an average of three yards per carry. Jandreau lugged the leather seven times for 44 yards, for a 6.S average. Jan dreau's passing was excellent, he completing seven out of 11 for 68 yards, and two for touch downs. Orr for the Tigers made 77 yards in 15 carries, an average of 5.1, and Wray picked up 39 in 10 attempts for a 3.9 average. Wray's passing was not effective against the alert Ashland de fense. He completed only four of 13 for 55 yards. Lineups and summary: Medford Ashland Hopkins (O....LE ' Bell Mayfield LT . Fowler Mitchell LG Ormond Winter C ... Hawk Barker .. RG Garrett Casebeer RT.
