THAT SAVE GAME
Intentional Safety As Game
Ebbs Decisive Ducks
Score Twice In Third.
Seattle, Nov. 20. AP The
University of Oregon'! touch
down twins Tommy Roblin and
fiirt Mpcham -outscored and
outlaid the University of Wash-
lngton Huskies today to knock
the Washlngtonlans put of fur
ther Rose Bowl contention with
stirring 19 to 16 victory.
It was the hard-running 188'
pound Roblin whose smashing
gains and accurate passes played
tht chief part In the triumpn De-
for. 30,000 fans.
He boomed 3S yards off right
tackle for the first Oregon touch
down in the third quarter, but
the Webfoots still trailed at 7-6
because sub Halfback Jimmy
Newqulst missed the kick. Rob
lin passed 23 yards to Mecham
who ran IS more yards for the
second touchdown.
After Mecham passed 25 yards
io Newqulst for what proved to
be the winning score, Roblin,
with only seconds remaining, re
ceived a suggestion from a great
ex-Oregon back, Mike Mikulak,
who telephoned to the Oregon
bench from the press box. On
the next play, Roblin took the
ball and retired toward his own
goal, falling over It to give Wash
ington an Intentional safety
later challenged by Washington
Coach Jimmy Phelan. Roblin al
most was dropped on his one
foot line. As It was fourth down,
the Huskies, If their version of
the play had been accepted,
might have taken over there
with time to boom for the win
ning score. As It was, they got
two points and no such chance.
Huskies Oat Break
Washington got several breaks
to dominate the first half, but
the conservative Huskies had to
resort to strategem to get their
first touchdown. Sub Quarter
back Elmer Berg, In placeklck
formation, Instead rifled a 21
yard pass to Ernie Steele, who
caught it on the two and lunged
over. Berg then kicked the point,
with only 35 seconds remaining
of the half.
Roblin, Mecham and company
started to roll in the third per
iod when the Webfoots counted
twice. The first was a 73-yard
drive which ended with Roblin
booming for that 35-yard touch
down run. Then Roblln's pass
was deflected into Mecham's
arms by Quarterback Don Means
and Steele as Mecham scooted
across for the second score.
The Webfoots then hammered
to the Washington 6-yard line at
the opening of the final period
before Newqulst missed a field
goal attempt while standing on
the 13-yard line.
But Newqulst came along la
ter to steal Mecham's long pass
from Steele and Halfback Bobby
Erickson in the end zone and
the Ducks were way In front.
Undaunted, the Huskies, led
by Erickson and sub Half Gene
Walters, came right back for 57
yards and their second touch
down after Erickson went 22
yards to the OreRon three, sub
Fullback Neil Brooks inched
across the line on his chest on
the third try. Berg again kicked
the point and the Huskies were
putting on the pressure.
But Roblin intercepted Wal
ters' long pass on the Oregon 20.
and the Webfoots stalled through
their series of downs and the
clock ticked the game away.
With a ploy left Roblin gave up
the intentional safety and after
the subsequent kickoff the
gun boomed.
Safety Disputed
Statistically the teams were
even with 10 first downs apiece.
Oregon netted 2-13 yards from
rushing and passing, however,
while Washington got 177. Ore
gon got 78 aerial yards and
Washington 60.
Coach Phelan said after the
game that, in the gathering dusk,
he couldn't see Just what hap
pened on the intentional safety
play, but Washington players
who were In on the goal line
"kill" insisted that Roblin did
not run back across the goal
line, that he was tackled on the
om or two-yard line by Fullback
Bob Snow and another Husky
and the Washington tacklers pro
vided the momentum that push
ed the ball across the goal
Phelan said that if his plsyers
were right on their report of the
Play, it should have been Wash
Ington's ball on the one or two
yard line, with first down and
goal to go.
In his report of the safety scor
lng play. Coach Oliver said the
Instructions were for Roblin to
run back and forth to kill time,
but apparently he was "too tired
or excited to keep goliui.'' Oliver

GONZAGA 59 TO 0
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 22. (IP)
In the process of wiping the
frost off the Gonzaga field with
the Gonzaga football team,
Washington State college took
the wraps off a sophomore half
back today and piled up a nine
touchdown, 59 to 0 victory.
The tad was Eddie Pillings of
Ellensburg, an elusive Eddie
who broke away for touchdown
gallops of 26, 24 and 70 yards,
the last on a pass interception.
On his second canter he had little
blocking help and ran like a
frightened rabbit through the
entire Zag defense.
The whole W.S.C. team was
partial to long runs, only three
touchdowns coming on dashes
shorter than 20 yards. Billy
Sewell, State's left half and
passing ace, turned In a 70-
yarder on a pass interception In
the first quarter.

Los Angeles. Nov 22 (IP)
Winding up its 1941 grid cam

outscored the University of Cali
fornia at Los Angeles. 31 to 13.
In a game that had its moments
some of them brilliant.
Rounding out nine-game
schedule with a record of six
victories and three defeats,
which was below par for Coach
Buck Shaw, the Broncs from
! northern California helped them
selves to five touchdowns, the
last one scored In the final

The contest, which left the
Uclani losers in five games with
one more battle to play, was
replete with most everything
except the Inevitable dog that
trots out on the field.

BowT Choice Reserves
See Action.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 22. UP)
Oregon State college, Pacific
Coast conference leader, over
came a light and crippled Uni
versity of Montana team this
afternoon 27 to 0.
The victory, coupled with
Washington's 16-19 defeat by
Oregon, narrowed western con
tenders for a Rose Bowl bid to
Oregon State and Stanford, and
next Saturday's Oregon State
Oregon game at Eugene may de
cide the issue.
If OSC wins, It will base its
claim for a Bowl bid on its 10-0
victory over Stanford in Octo
ber. Both OSC and Stanford
are twice defeated.
The Oregon State team scored
in every quarter of its game
with Montana and used second
and third stringers in the second
and fourth periods. The game
was played on a slippery field
before a disappointing crowd of
4,000.
The visitors got across the
mid-field stripe only twice and
never threatened until the last
minute. By that time Oregon
State had the game In the big
and a third team on the field.
The Grizzlies worked the ball
to the seven-yard line before
Frank Parker, sub guard. Inter
cepted a pass. .
The high-riding Beavers made
17 first downs to four for Mon
tana. They scored first on a 71-yard
pass and run negotiated by their
two star halfbacks, Bob Deth
man to Don Durdan in the first
period.
Touchdown No. 2 was of the
second team's making, following
series of line Jabs which netted
54 yards. Bill Mclnnis scored
from the one-yard line after
Montana had held for three
downs Inside the five.
A poor punt by Montana Full
back Eso Naranche gave the
Beavers a scoring opportunity in
the third and Fullback Joe Day
penetrated right tackle for the
touchdown.
The last score was made by
Bob L 1 b b e e , another reserve
back, who wound up a 64-yard
march by slashing througu right
tackle from the 17 to the three
yard line from where he tallied.
Pete Pomeroy led the Medford
Rifle club pistol shooters Friday
night by an 18 point margin
over runner-up Jim Bolton's 251
and a third place score of 249
fired by Bren Starcher. Pome
roy put a slow fire 00. a timed
fire 85 and a rapid fire 84 to
gether for a 269 total. His 90
and 95 were high scores in those
stages, while Starcher's 91 rapid
fire was tops in the latter stage.
Pomeroy was awarded the '
Lamport pistol trophy for the I
second consecutive year, by rea
son of his consistently high scor
ing during the past season.
The rifle range in the Merrick
building will be open as usual I
Sunday afternoon for both pistol
and rifle shooters, while next
Wednesday evening the local
riflemen will visit the Grants

slve unbeaten, untied football double wlngback attack of Ore

Press poll, the Gophers, led by
Bruce Smith, burled Wisconsin
under a 41-6 count for their
17th successive victory, clinch
ed the Big Ten title for the
sixth time in eight years, and
left no room for doubt that
they would be ranked on top
when the football rolls are
closed for the season.
Notre Dame and Duke, two
others of the slender band of
major teams that have escaped
defeat, closed their regular
seasons with victories. But there
was sharp contrast in their
methods. Duke, with Winston

Southwest title today when its

Colorado State, 22-7.
In the east. Fordham's once-
beaten Rams, spotted St. Mary's
Gaels an early touchdown and
then used the airways to chalk
up a 35-7 decision. Harvard

Yale. Penn buried a hapless,
fumbling Cornell outfit, 16-0, as
Navy ran all over Princeton.

proved no match for Auburn
and the Southerners won 13-0.
Pitt scored first, but Penn State

TORNADO LEAVES
WEDNESDAY FOR
THE DALLES TILT
Medford's Black Tornado will
have three more workouts In
preparation for their Invasion of
The Dalles to face the unbeaten
and Untied Indians next Friday
night, and Coach Bill Bowerman
said that most of the time would
be spent In polishing offensive
plays and working out a defense
eleven with an unblemished
record,
The Tornado, victorious in
seven out of eight starts, will
leave by train Wednesday night
and will hold a workout in The
Dalles Thursday afternoon. The
squad will stop off in Eugene
Saturday en route home to see
the Oregon-Oregon State battle,
Most of the players are in
good physical condition, the
coach said. Steve Dippel, sopho
more right halfback and Ike
Orr's understudy, is the only
questionable performer. Dippel
pulled a leg muscle In the Salem
game last week and may not be
in shape to go against The Dalles.
Bob Stead blocking back and
Dan Winter, center, suffered con
siderable bruises in a tough
workout Friday, and will be
forced to take things easy for
the balance of the practice ses
sions, slated for Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday.
Cliff Jones, regular fullback
who was ineligible for the Salem
tilt because of low grades, is ex
pected to have his marks up by
the time the team entrains for
the Columbia river city. Bower
man said It was still his plan to
start Darrell Monteith, 153-pound
junior, at left end in place of
curt Hopkins, out for the season
with three cracked ribs he sus
tained against Salem.
The Dalles, coached by Chuck
McGuinness, has fashioned a
monumental record of eight
straight victories against some of
the state's most potent teams.
The Indians have tallied 188
points to their opponents' 27,
and an average of 23.3 points per
game to the oppositions' 3.4
points per contest.
Toughest game for the Indians
was a 7 to 6 win over once-beaten
Mac high of Miiton-Free-water,
but in their other con
quests they won almost as they
pleased. The Dalles has beaten
Camas, Wash., 6 to 0; Astoria, 39
to 7, La Grande, 24 to 0; Bend,
14 to 0; Hood River, 19 to 14;
.Oregon City, 39 to 0 and Pendle
ton, 40 to 0.
The Indians' attack Is built
around three great backs, Full
back Keith DeCourcy, Left Half
back Benny Holcomb and Right
Halfback Homer Baker. Ray
Conover, quarterback, rounds
out the backfield.
