Oregon's Ducks Clash With Bruins Tonight By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) Ore gon's Webfoots, drubbed six straight times by UCLA since Red Saunders launched his south land era, finally have a chance for revenge tonight when they meet the Bruins at Los Angeles coliseum. The Uclans seem down at the moment from crippling penalties brought against them this sum mer for violating the athletic code. Michigan buried them la.;t Saturday. 42-13. after they had squeaked by Utah, 13-7, the week before At the same time. Coach Len Casanova may have come up with the best Oregon team he has formed after six years of work. The Ducks had a bad time getting by Idaho, 21-14, last week but started off with a bang by thumping Colorado, 35-0. Scored Only Once Oregon not only has lost all six games to Sanders' teams but crossed the Bruin goal line only once in the last five outings. The Ducks could make up for lost time tonight if Tom Crab t'ee's passing and Jim Shanley's speed function as usual. Cannons start booming again Saturday when the Pacific Coast Conference finds itself involved with four more games against Big Ten opposition plus a key intersectional between Pitts burgh and California. The Big Ten leads so far in-this year's series, 4-0. The only bright spot for the coast appears to be the Southern California-Wisconsin game in which the Trojans have been tabbed as one-touchdown favor ites. Otherwise Ohio State is 13 over Stanford, Iowa six over Oregon State. Illinois over Washington and Pitt six over California. Ohio State numbed Nebraska. 34-7, last week while Stanford was falling before Michigan State. 21-7. As usual, the In dians' best chances seem to ride on the passing arm of quarter back Joh Brodie. Oregon State lost its top run ner and pass defender when little Sam Wesley was ruled in eligible, but the Beavers did give Southern Cal a tough battle without him before toppling and cculd surprise Iowa. Illinois rallied to stun Cali fornia 32-20 last week and rates over the revamped Huskies who took a 34-14 beating from Min nesota. Pittsburgh and its rugged line is expected to cut Cal down the hard way, with driving ground plays,' while the twice-beaten Bears try the airlanes. Washington State, sensing its greatest season in 25 campaigns, meets Idaho in a traditional at Moscow that always is hard to figure. , In another top game. Cincin nati plays College of the Pacific at Stockton Saturday night. San Jose is idle.

The kick off is at 8:15 p.m. (Landis-Shanale photo) SP 0RTS McLoughlin Eighth Clips Hornet Gang McLoughlin trimmed Hedrick 21 to 12 yesterday in the 1956 gridiron debut of Medford eighth grader teams. The clubs fought to a score less stand-off in the first half. McLoughlin erased the goal line twice and Hedrick once in the third quarter and each touch downed in the fourth. A 40-yard jaunt by Mike Hood on a reverse put the ball down on the one-foot line and Dick Ragsdale sneaked over from there for the first McLoughlin score.
