TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Eugene UR) Oregon, which was supposed to be all speed and no power, turned on a steam roller attack here Saturday on Floppy Hayward field and in four powerful marches drove to a 28-0 Pacific Coast conference victory over Oregon State.

But the Beavers, who now finish in sec ond place with a 5-2 records, couldn't put together a scoring combination, nor could they do anything to stop the rampaging Webfoots. Only Four Officials The game was played with only four officials on the field, instead of the usual five. Two of the scheduled officials, Mel Nickerson and Tom Fitzpatrick, didn't arrive in time when their train was delayed. An alternate, Gerald Laurens, filled in one spot and the other was left vacant. The absence of one arbiter failed to slow the fired-up Ore gon eleven, however, as they slammed through the Oregon State defense to score in drives of 71, 65, 51 and 60 yards. Halfback Jim Shanley, a 168 pound sophomore speedster, end ed the first two drives with plunges of seven and two yards , into the end zone. Quarterback Tom Crabtree, playing one of his finest games of his career, plunged over from the one-yard-line for the third score and capped an all-Oregon OSC Center Injured In Automobile Accident Corvallis (U.R) Seven-foot Phil Shadoin, center on the Ore gon State college basketball team, was injured in an auto mobile accident on the OSC campus Friday but was to be released from the hospital today. bnadoin was riding 'in a car driven by a fraternity brother which was involved in a colli sion with another vehicle.

Aside from a couple of key nasses. UCLA stuck to the ground where halfback Brown and fullback Davenport slashed and plunged for long yardage to touchdown drives in the first and fourth periods and a field goal in the second. No Question The West's Rose Bowl repre sentative wont officially be named until Monday but with the defeat of Oregon State there was no question that UCLA would return to Pasadena Jan uary 1. Southern California marched deep into UCLA territory three times but only one of the march es in the final period result ed in a score as the charging, thudding UCLA line bottled up vaunted Trojan halfback Jon Arnett. The runs of fullbacks Gordon Duvall and C. R. Ro berts kept the Trojan drives moving. Arnett electrified the huge crowd and the national TV au dience when he raced the open ing kickoff 7 yards to the UCLA goal only to be called back be cause Southern Cal was offside. There was no "goat" on this one. The entire USC line was charged with the offside.
