Toss Weight Around By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco (1?) Ore gon and Washington State, who used to starve in the Pacific Coast Conference Garrett, were set to throw their weight around with a vengeance Saturday as the bizarre West Coast football season ground into the second half of play. Oregon's Ducks, a team which hasn't been asked to the Rose Bowl in 37 years, were a one touchdown choice over once haughty California in a game at Eugene. A victory over the Bears, who have lost four out of five, might all but wrap up the Pasadena bid. Oregon sports a 3-0 confer ence record for a one game lead in the race and its nearest pursuer among what is left of the Bowl eligibles is Washing ton State, who was nipped 14-13 by the Ducks in last week's "crucial." The Cougars who with Oregon, California and Stan ford represent the only teams left in the PCC who qualify for the Rose Bowl were in the slightly delirious position of being one point choices over fallen Southern California. WSC Slight Favorite Time was when the mighty Trojans specialized in murder ing Washington State as a sea son opener. But this is a year of revolutionary changes in foot ball" as well as guided missiles. Southern California, along with UCLA, watched all its seniors get drummed out of the varsity corps as an upshot of excessive aid to the boys and remains win less in four attempts. UCLA is at Stanford in an other Coast Conference game but the Bruins are favored even if they don't have any fourth-year men either. Crafty Red Sanders guided his Bruins to a shocking 26-7 triumph over Oregon State last Saturday while Stanford had to rally to keep Washington starving, 21-14. The Huskies, 0-4-1 in the books, host an Oregon State team that went back to funda mentals after being stunned by UCLA. Odds-makers expect the Beavers to bounce back after suffering their first loss in five games. Washington has lost four in a row after tying Colorado, 6-6, in the lidlifter. COP Meets Cincinnati College of the Pacific, which remains undefeated thanks to a brace of ties during the last two week ends, goes after its fourth triumph when it invades Cincinnati. The Bearcats, 3-1-1, defeated Marquette last week while COP came; from behind to deadlock Idaho, 7-7.
