VITAL TOUCHDOWN ON 28 YARD JAUNT Oregon Gains 7-6 Edge On Mecham's Long Run- Penalty Hits Ducks. 1 Eugene. Ore.. Nov. 29. (IP) Forced to come from behind In the final quarter, the orange ahlrted Oregon State Beavers overcame a one-point deficit and defeated the Univeriitjr of Oregon, 12 to 7 today. A relentleu 60-yard drive, concluding with a vlciout 28 yard buck and run through center by Sub Fullback Joe Day netted the touchdown. . For a while in the fourth quarter It looked as If the con ference champlomhlp icramble might wind up in a four or five way tie as Oregon held a 7-8 lead. Hud Oregon held on it would have meant Oregon, 'Washington State and possibly Washington would be cut In for bowl consideration. Near To Another But the Beavers came back for their winning touchdown and were on the Oregon five yard line seeking another as the game ended, whereupon the Beaver subs rushed to the field and carried off the battered and happy grldders on their shoulders, After a scoreless first half punctuated by several thrill producing punts and runs, the Beavers struck for a touchdown in the first seven minutes of the third period. Halfback Bob Dethman re turned a punt 15 yards to the Oregon 38. Southpaw Halfback Don Durdan flipped an 11-yard pass to End George Zelllck. On the next play "Choc" Shcl ton, fullback, hit for two yards, but an unnecessary roughness penalty called against Oregon saw Referee Jack Frell pace off IS yards to the Oregon 1-yard stripe. Neither Dethman nor Durdan could gain in two . plays, but Shelton sliced off the Oregon right guard for the final three yards and the score A persistently heavy south wind swerved Sub Halfback Warren Sinus high kick for the extra point and it sailed Wide. Oregon went ahead, striking like lightning on the first play of the last quarter. Curt Me eham, who played a whale of a game at halfback, ran to his lift with his left arm cocked as If to pass, then he cut for the side lines, outdistanced the Oregon State secondary by sweeping back to midfield and went over the goal line with a beautiful 88-yard run. Halfback Jimmy Newqulst's kick was true and an upset was in the making before a capacity crowd of 20.S00. Regulars Out But the Beavers took posses sion on their own 40 after a punt exchange. Durdan flipped a 10-yard pass to Zelllck on the SO. Day hit for one, then Durdan passed to Quarterback George Peters for 12 yards to the Webfoot 37. Dethman skirt ed left end for nine and Ore gon's Coach Tex Oliver sent in his two regular guards. Val Culwell and Scrapiron Rhea. On the next play Day bucked and barreled his way between the two guards, was seemingly stopped, then spun clear and over the goal line with a 28-yard Jaunt. Simas" try for point was partly blocked, but It made no difference. The Beavers drove from their own 48 to the Oregon five at the finish.

By Russ Newlsnd Palo Alto, Calif., Nov. 29. UP) California's Golden Bears, rising to inspirational heights, wrote a stunning climax to an up and down football season to day with a 16 to 0 upset victory over the defending Coast con ference champions, Stanford's Indians. A crowd of 70,000 fans, brav ing threatening weather saw the one to three short end Bears blast Stanford's flimsy Rose Bowl hopes with crushing de fensive play, after moving Into a first period lead on a single touchdown run. California struck with light ning speed a minute after the game opened to score a touch down, add the extra point and go Into a lead that was never threatened. Nine more points were posted in a thrilling last quarter, when the Bears poured through to block two Stanford punts. One resulted in an automatic safety. The ball bounced out of the end zone. The game had barely gotten under way when the Bears, get ting the ball on Stanford's 46 yard line, flashed to a touch down. AI Derian, left half. raced that distance after a cut back Inside right end. Joe Mer lo, quarterback, booted the placement to make the count 7-0. In the fourth quarter, on the safety scoring play. Witter, right guard, charged into Frank Al bert before the left footed all American quarterback of 1940 could get the ball out of reach. With two minutes to go. Cole, substituting for Albert, was be hind his own goal to kick. Whalen, California quarterback, sliced through this time. The ball popped up into the air and, big Bob Reinhard, left tackle of the Bears, leaped into the air to clutch it for a touchdown. Mer lo added the extra point again with place-kick. The Bears, battered Into five defeats earlier In the season, were invincible today. There wasn't the question of a doubt at to which tchool had fielded the better team for the 1941 playing of a gam started back In 1892. California played the kind of a game that two other teamr used to beat the T-formatlon rushing the passer. Hero of the encounter wat 220-pound Rein hard, playing his last conference game. His Instructions were to keep his eyes on Albert and he carried them to the letter.

(IP) Washington and Southern Cali fornia clashed in another of their bitter grid battles today and the Huskies from the north west, riding on luck, pulled out with a narrow 14-13 triumph. The struggling Washington! fashioned two plays, each good for 30 yards, to hold back a Tro jan that dominated the contest and all but tied it up with a touchdown In the last seven sec onds of the game. Just as a pair of missed con versions robbed the Troys of a tie with miRhty Notre Dame a week ago, so did two bad after touchdown place kicks plus a field goal attempt from the 12 yard stripe cost them a chance for a tie or a triumph today. A scanty crowd of 35,000 threatening clouds held it down saw Washington's sophomore halfback ace, Erickson, hurl a mighty pass for SO yards and a touchdown to Left End Young love In the second quarter for the opening score of the engage ment. Southern Cal's stalwarts, led by Bobby Robertson, took the second half kickoff and with a great burst of power marched 75 yards in nine playt for a score, Robertson charging through the line for the final 14 yards. From then on Into the last quarter the ball game belonged to Coach Sam Barry's Trojans, even if the top score didn't. Twice they whipped within scor ing range, only to miss out. Suddenly, after De Lauer had missed his field goal try from the 12, and again the Troyt had been stopped by a pass intercep tion by the Washington center, Harrison, the Huskies took pos session, worked up to midfield and Stackpool, the fullback, slipped off a tackle, and as the Trojans let him on through, gal loped SO yards down field for the winning score. The Trojans continued to try, and. finally tallied In the last seven seconds when the Huskies, stalling for time, had to punt on fourth down from their 20. Bob Snow was the punter and the Trojan line proved to be the blocker. They slammed Into Snow, the ball bounced back ward into the end zone and De Lauer recovered for a touch down. De Lauer kicked this extra point, but It was too late the game ended in a few more seconds. FOR ORANGE BOWL Miami, Fla..

VP) As a reward or a punishment for becoming the first whole, one piece middleweight champion In a decade, Tony Zale sat back peacefully today and heard Pro moter Mike Jacobs match hint with Billy Conn for a 12-round bout February 13 in Madison Square Garden. Boasting a body attack like nothing that's been seen around these parts since Paul Berlen bacb blasted Buys wide open, the Gary (Ind.) tteel-worker came off the floor to nip Georgle Abrams in their red-hot 160 pound title tussle last night In the Garden. Under protest, Johnny Ray, Conn's vest-pocket manager, gave a half-hearted okay to the fight between his battler and the new middleweight boss, but along Jacobs beach the .betting was slightly better than even money that the tussle never would come off. Certainly, Zale looked all over the best of the 160-pound collection in tossing those tum my torpedoes at Abrams after a first-round knockdown before a crowd of 10,004. But a lot of the beachcombers scratched their heads and wondered why that win should shoo the sturdy steelworker head on into Conn.
