Oregon hasn't beaten OSC since 1848 wnen iMorman van Brocklin led the Ducks to win. The Ducks are favored this year, as they have been the past two seasons. Tomorrowiwill mark the final Oregon game for George Shaw, one of the greatest backs in the school's history. Shaw, going into the contest, leads the na tion's football in, total offense and is a candidate for All-Amer- ican. He already has been named to the West team for the annual Shrine game. The weather prospects are damp, which could affect Ore gon's passing game. Last year on a wet field at Eugene, OSC won 7-0 on an intercepted pass touch down by Tommy Little. Both teams are In good shape. Dick James, Oregon's driving Independent Hoop Session Wednesday A meeting for organization of the Medford Independent Bas ketball League for the coming season has been set for Wednes day, November 24, it was an nounced today. The session will be at 8 p.m. at the National Guard armory on North Bart lett st. Managers or sponsors of all groups, clubs or firms interested in having teams in the loop are invited to attend. All others in terested in the circuit, including players eyeing connections with teams, may attend the session. At least six teams from with in Medford are foreseen. Repre sentatives of teams from other communities are expected at the meeting. Ardis Warren, Ashland, who served as league president for the past year has reported that he plans to bow out of the league administration. He hopes to organize a circuit within Ashland this year. If those plans go through, it is unlikely that there will be an Ashland entry in the MIBL. Action on setting up for the new year is starting later than usual. Good attendance Wednes day is hoped for in order that organization can be completed and loop play started soon. 2 KmecTon First Lap of Road Race Oxaca, Mexico U.R) Mexi can army officers reported that two California drivers, Jack Mc Afee and Ford Robinson, were killed today when their Ferrari overturned at high speed short ly before finishing the first lap of the Pan American road race. Another car believed to be a Lincoln, also was reported to have crashed before reaching the finish of the first lap of the five-day cross country speed test that started . this morning at Tuxtla Gutierrez, in ' southern Mexico. No details were avail able. Hill First Soldiers reported McAfee, SI, Manhattan Beach, and Robinson, Sherman Oaks, went off the road in their Ferrari while try ing to overhaul race leader Phil 1111, banta Monica, Calif., who clipped nearly three minutes off the lap record as he crossed the iinisn nere in tirst place. Italy's Umberto Maglioli, also in a Ferrari, flashed across the line second, four minutes behind tne American. Akton Miller, Whittier, Calif, crossed the finish line 13 min utes behind Maslioli. Tre risky race, which in the past four years has killed 17 drivers and spectators, reported ly claimed the life of another American yesterday, Army Capt. David Ramsey, who was killed en route to the race. Two Argentine drivers, Juan Antonio Gatti and AHfrrin Doura, were killed in another pre-race accident last Sunday. PIONEERS CLOSE Portland (U.R) Lewis and Clark, co-champion of the North west Conference along with Wil lamette and College of Idaho, closes its 1954 football season to morrow against Eastern Wash ington here. Game time is 2 p.m. at Griswold stadium. left half, has a sore shoulder and Tom Crabtree of Coos Bay is expected to see quite a bit of action. Oregon State, which has had a bad year but which always seems to come up for this game, worked out behind closed gates yesterday. The spirit of the seven-times beaten club is high and "beat Oregon" placards are flooding the OSC campus. At Eugene, its a grimly de termined group of football play ers. Many of the Ducks, includ ing Capt. Ron Pheister, Shaw, Jack Patera, Hal Reeve, and oth ers have been playing four years and never have played on a team that defeated Oregon State. The odds favor Oregon any where from 13 to 20 points. But that doesn't mean a thing in this one. The team that is "up" the most probably will win. Bruin, Troy Tilt to Draw Huge Crowd By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco U.R) A sell out crowd of 102,000 jams Los Angeles Memorial coliseum to- morrow to see if Southern Cali fornia's fleet backfield aces can filter through UCLA's rugged de fense in one of the biggest clashes in West Coast football annals. End zone tickets are reported to be going at $50 a pair for the titanic traditional which will de- cide the Pacific Coast Confer ence championship. The Brums, whose undefeated single wing machine tops the United Press football ratings for the fourth straight week, are 13- point favorites to halt speedy Aramis Dandoy, Gordon Duvall and Lmdon Crow while their own Primo Villaneuva," Bob Davenport and Jim Decker power in the opposite direction. Dandoy To Start Coach Jess Hill of Southern California has named Dandoy to start at tailback instead of soph omore Jon Arnett, adding fuel to the argument of which man is better. Hill tabs Arnett a player with a great future but prefers to cast his lot with Dandoy off the Torrance, Calif., speedster's clutch performance. And just to throw some con fusion into an already taut situa tion, Southern California also sporfs a Jim Decker on the roster. He is a fullback. The Bruins are 8-0 for the sea son and 5-0 in the conference while Southern Cal is 8-1 and 6-0 respectively. Its one loss was a 20-7 defeat by Texas Christian. UCLA trails in the crosstown series 14-5-4. Bill Engelhardt Seems Sure of Offense Honors New York (U.R) Bill Engel hardt of Omaha University seemed virtually assured of the small-college total offense cham pionship today while the Col lege of Emporia appeared to have an equally firm grip on team honors for rushing and total offense. Engelhardt came up with 227-yard performance in his final game against Doane to take seemingly comfortable 549-yard lead in the individual total of fense race. Ralph Capitani of Iowa Teachers, last years total offense leader, actually is second with 1,568 yards gained to Engel- hardt's 1,645, but he too like the Omaha star, has completed his season. Swarthmore's Paul Jones is Engelhardt's closest pursuer of those who have games left to play, but he is 549 yards behind with one game left to play. Held To 64 Capitani was held to only 64 yards by South Dakota last week. His winning figure in 1953 was 1.755 vards. Figures released by the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation Service Bureau also showed unbeaten, . but once-tied College of Emporia with a total offense mark of 469.7 yard per game. The Kansas school, which completed its nine-game sche dule last week, pulled up a rush ing offense figure of 404.8 yards per contest. Kent State of Ohio is second in total offense with a 454.8 av erage while Whitworth of Wash ington is third at 413.9.
