Chico State;
39-12 Victor
Over Raiders
Ashland Chico State rolled
to a 39 to 12 decision over the
Southern "Oregon college foot
ball at Chico, Calif., Saturday,
getting two touchdowns on
breaks in a hotly contested first
half and then rolling up three
TD's in the third quarter as the
Red Raider defense faltered.
Coach Alex Petersen of South
ern Oregon said today that first
half play was closer than .the
score indicated. He reported
that "disappointing" line play
in the third stanza hurt the Raid
ers. ;"
' Period scores were 12 to 0, 19
to 6 and 39. -to 6. . ;
; Chico got the ball on the SOC
six yard line in the first quarter
when the Raiders failed to get
a punt away and later in the
Quarter took over on the 24 after
a pass interception. Both breaks
produced touchdowns. f
, LeRoy Springer got the second
i quarter Raider touchdown after
a short drive. Jim Wright went
over from the two-inch line for
SOC in the iourtlr quarter. The
Raiders had put the ball on about
the one-foot line and three'suc
cessive Chico offsides moved the
pigskin, forward. . V
Regular Quarterback Bill Sey
mour of SOC did not make the
trip for the Raiders because of a
leg injury. Southern Oregon
therefore ran. from a spread
rather than its regular T and
Springer, normally an end, held
down the tailback slot, most of
the time.
Also . absent from the Raider
crew was Len Heston who was
dropped from the squad for fail
ure to train. - - - ? . -
"Wright .was outstanding and

Takes Shape
By JOHN GRIFFIN
- United Press Sports Writer
The official lineup for. those
glittering football bowl games
started to take shape today with
Southern California assured of a
Rose Bowl berth and. unbeaten
Ohio State and Arkansas both
close to clinching conference
championships. ' .',
, Southern Cal's once-beaten
Trojans, though still having three
games to play, made certain they
will represent the Pacific Coast
Conference, in the Rose Bowl
tromrcirig Stanford,; 21-7, on
Saturday.
- Meanwhile, Ohio - State -remapped
one game ahead in the
red-hot. race" for the Big Ten's
Rose Bowl berth as it won a non-
league, game-. from Pittsburgh,
26-0, and now can clinch at least
a tie for the Big Ten title by
'beating Purdue this Saturday.
Cinderella -
And amazing Arkansas stayed
out front in the Southwest Con
ference by springing another up
set, 28-15,- over Rice. Now the
Razorbacks, who surely must be
rated the "Cinderella team of
1954" for their unexpected pow
er, can clinch the league title
outright and an automatic, berth
in the Cotton Bowl by beating
Southern Methodist this Satur
day. Also drawing close to . title
clinchings are Oklahoma in the
Big Seven and Yale in the Ivy
League, but the additional lure
of a bowl berth is missing in
these Cases.
The unbeaten Oklahoma Soon
ers, who are seeking their sev
enth straight Big Seven crown;
routed Iowa State, 40-0, and now
can clinch a title tie by beating
Missouri this Saturday. Yale
suffered humiliation in a 48-7
trouncing by Army on Saturday
in a non-league game, but still
can clinch at least a lie for the
Ivy League crown by beating
Princeton-this week: '
