Beavers Tally 15 First
Downs; Oregon 5 Both
Score in First Half
Eugene, Ore., Dec. 1 U.R)
Despite two sensational touch
down runs by halfback Jake
Lcight, Oregon University lost
13 to 12 a grudge game to Ore
gon State college today before
20.000 fans.
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.

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.

The Oregon high school activi
ties association today announced
the annual basketball tourna
ment held in Salem for the last
26 years will again be held in
that city.

handle arrangements for the
meet, scheduled for the third

during the war.

it was decided to poll high school
principals for their sentiments
regarding continuance of the

HOOD RIVER 13-0
Portland, Ore., Dec. 1U.R)
A driving Grant high school
eleven, sparked by Right Half
back Gerry Smith, who raced
around ends and through a stiff
Hood River line, rolled to the
Oregon state high school champ
ionship today behind a 13 to 0
victory over the Dragons.
Grant's first touchdown came
within nine minutes of play in
the first quarter when Smith,
behind excellent blocking,
plunged over to pay dirt from
his own ten.
Remaining continuously In
Hood River territory for a good
part of the game Grant again
went into the scoring zone on a
61-yard run by Smith from his
own 39.
On yardage, the Generals had
it all over the Dragons, rolling
up 245 yards to 68 for Hood
River. But it was in the aerial
department that the Hood River
lads really shone.
Although they failed to invade
Grant territory successfully with
their passing tactics, they heav
ed 21 passes, completing 14 of
them. The team of Don O'Leary
and Don Ostegard kept the
Grant backs looking skyward in
the fourth quarter when O'Leary
tossed six complete passes to
Ostegard to establish the only
Hood River scoring threat of the
game.
A Grant interception by Left
End Roland Curtis ended the
threat.
