Oregon was gunning to avenge a 19-8 loss to the Beavers earlier this year, but an accur ate place kick by McGuire gave the Staters the narrow victory after a torrid 60 minutes of action. The Beavers raekpd up 15 first downs to five for Oregon and displayed a crackerjack passing game, but It was Lelcht who stole the show with his breakaway runs, pass intercep tions, booming punts and last ditch tackles on hard running Stale backs. Dick Gray, Stevens and Hart man were triple headaches for Oregon and helped pile up a 288 to 133 yard advantage for Oregon State. Two explosive first half scores came within three minutes of each other near the end of the second nerior. Lelcht made the first one with a 60-yard brilliant run on a pass interception. He sidestepped a horde of tacklers and simply outran the field. John Kauffman's conversion was wide. Oregon State rolled right back C2 yards to score with Gray and Stevens ramming through for substantial yardage. Vic Hurt man provided the finishing touch with a 28-yard run to the 7 and a looping pass to Bud Gibbs for touchdown. McGuire booted a perfect conversion to put OSC ahead 7 to 6. An OSC fumble gave Oregon the ball on the 18 as the final second ticked away In the half with Leicht's pass to the goal being intercepted by Karama nos. Oregon State put together a 44-yurd drive in the third per iod for the next score, mainly on Gray's passes, the payoff being on a fourth down two-yardcr from Gray to Karamanos and McGuirc's conversion kick bounced back from the goal post. Oregon pushed the Beavers back deep in the final period, and Gray stood under the goal post to kick out to the 28. Wall Donovan, another hard hitting Oregon back, rammed center to the 24 and set up the play for Lelcht to score again. Jake peel half a dozen tacklers then started through tackle, sidestep turned on a burst of speed to score standing up. Kauffman's kick was wide again and that was the ball game.

TIRES TROJANS DEFEAT 26-15; E Los Angeles, Dec. 1 (U.R) A University of Southern Califor nia's thundering herd clinched its third consecutive Rose Bowl bid today with a smashing 20 to 15 victory over University of California at Los Angeles be fore 103,000 fans at Memorial Coliseum, the year's biggest foot ball crowd. The Trojans scored after 10 minntne nf fho first TirinH anrl piled up a commanding 19-0 lead ai nan time to assure incmscives thf.il- ninth Knurl hlrl rnqtinn th official vote of the Pacific Coast conicrence oniy a lormauiy. It . was Halfback Tannehill who quickly spelled UCLA s doom and gave Southern Cali fornia the right to play Alabama New Year's day. Tannehill was caught from be hind on an early 52 yard sprint, but shortly after Bow man passed in the flat to Tanne hill, who, starting from the line of scrimmage, whirled through the entire UCLA team and out ran the secondary for a touch down. Only after the first half rest period did UCLA begin to show life. Rowland passed a long one to Biddle for a 69 yard play after only two minutes had elapsed of the third quarter. But Tannehill made it right back for the Trojans after Bradford inter cepted Case's pass on the UCLA 23 and Tannehill skirted left end for his second touchdown. Case's left-handed passes kept the desperate Bruins in the game in the final period, and Keifer blocked Peterson's attempted punt for a safety to cut the USC lead slightly. Porter then, con nected with a 44-yard pass to Bob Wheeler for a touchdown with only a few moments remain ing to play, but it was not suf ficient to overcome the early Trojan lead. It was a brilliant climax to what started out as a dull sea son for the Trojans. With the early season wolves howling .r Washington or St. Mary's in the Rose Bowl to represent the west, the Trojans scorned doomed to sit this one out. But while the others were falling by the way side, the Southern Californians were picking up drive and speed to earn the unqualified vote of confidence fans with today's handy victory. WORST BLASTING 45 YRS BY YALE New Haven, Conn., Dec. 1 (U.R) Young Art Fitzgerald, a nuval transfer from Nebraska, scored three touchdowns on a snow-banked field today to give Yale 28-0 victory over Harvard and unofficial championship of the ''Big Three." It was the worst defeat Yale had inflicted on Harvard in 45 years. Yale took command of the game late In the second period. Art Dakos passed to Dave Hoopes brother of Tim Hoopes, who almost single-handedly de feated Harvard when Yale play ed them last In 1942 and Hoopes was downed on the one- yard line. Fitzgerald drove across for his first touchdown. A fumble of the pass from cen ter spoiled the conversion try. Two minutes later and with only 30 seconds of the first half remaining Fitzgerald cut tlufmgh his own tackle and went 15 yards to score. The try for extra point was wide. Soon after a third period safety, and in the closing se conds of the period, Fitzgerald reeled off his third touchdown after a pass series was good from Yale's 33 to the Harvard 4. This time Denczzo's kick was good. A recovery by Barzilausakas of O'Donncll's fumble on Har vard's 49 set up Kirk's score and the final touchdown. Dakos immediately aerialed to Jack Roderick on the 24. and Roder ick took another one from Fitz gerald on the 3. Kirk wrnt over on an easy buck, with Denczzo tacking on the point.
