THE
Tuesday, November 6. 1956
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press Sports Writer
San Francisco ''U.R) Coach.
Len Casanova of Oregon, who
swung in effigy two weeks ago,
was mighty high again today
but in another way. His ball
club is starting to jell and the
man is happy.
The Ducks, with smooth-operating
quarterback Tom Crab
tree at the controls, belted fav
ored California, 28-6, on Satur
day to end a four game losing
streak. Last year Oregon ended
another four game drought by
winning five of its last six games
and Casanova thinks the worm
has turned again.
"We got some breaks for a
change against California and it
was high time," the smiling men
tor said. "Are we at the turning
point? I kind of think so."
Defense Hot
If he is right, the resurgence
against the Bears couldn't have
come at a better time. The old
grads are scheduled to storm
Hayward stadium for next Sat
urday's homecoming game
against Washington State.
Casanova is doubly satisfied
with Oregon's abrupt turn about
as the offense looked even hotter
against California than it did
when the Wcbfoots opened the
season by thumping Colorado,
35-0. Mighty Oklahoma had to
strain a lot harder to squeeze
out its 27-19 victory over the
Buffs.
Crabtree not only is a drive
shaft in the Oregon attack but
also a sharp thinker. The bald
ing business student specializes
in calling running plays from a
punt formation on fourth down
and usually gets away with it.
California was caught with its
defenses down twice by this
maneuver.
Surprises in Store
If the club retains it's new
form and takes Washington
State it will meet a sterner chal
lenge in its final games against
Southern California and Ore
gon State. But Casanova is smil
ing. He seems to feel that more
surprises are in store.
While Casanova's gridders
seek to keep the alumni happy
on Saturday, three other Pacific
Coast Conference games will be
in progress. Oregon State and
Stanford tangle in a key game
which could decide which team
goes to the Rose Bowl, while
California takes its crushed forc
es to Southern California and
UCLA invades Washington.
On the regional front, Arizona
Tempe State, undefeated in sev
en starts, roars after victory
number eight at the expense of
Texas Western. Utah State is at
Idaho. San Jose at College of
the Pacific and Cal Poly at Fres
no State in other leading con
tests. Cage Referees
Meet Wednesday
A meeting of basketball ref
erees of the Rogue valley area
will be held at 7:30 p.m. Wed
nesday. Nov. 7, at the senior
high school here. Coaches of
high school teams are partic
ularly asked to attend.
Virgil Swanson, commis
sioner of referees, said that
the purpose of the session is
to iron out a number of ques-
Hons and problems before the
basketball season gets under
way.

For Indians
Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Coach
Tommy Prothro gave the Oregon
State Beavers a light workout
Monday, but scheduled full drills
the rest of the week in prepara
tion for the important game
against Stanford Saturday.
Defense formations designed
to stop the passing of Stanford's
quarterback John Brodie re
ceived a major share of the
Beavers' attention today. The
winner of the Stanford game has
an excellent chance of repre
senting the Pacific Coast confer
ence in the Rose Bowl.
Eugene, Ore. -W.R) The Uni
versity of Oregon team opened
full drills today for the Washing
ton State game Saturday after
taking a partial day off in cele
bration of their upset 28-6 vic
tory over California.
Freshman Coach Bill Ham
mer, who scouted Washington
State, briefed the Ducks Monday
and warned that the Cougar
aerial game will be hard to stop.
Jack Crabtree, the No. 2 signal
caller, returned to the Webfoots'
lineup but his knee injury was
still bothering him and he prob
ably won't see much action
against WSC.
