The two teams meet this week end in what shapes up to be a "showdown" for superiority in the PCC. Oregon State, which previous ly held both top positions, has been dumped into second in each department. Stanford led in to tal offense with 333.3 yards a game to 323.5 for Oregon State and Oregon boasted the best mark on total defense, 230.3 yards, to 243.3 for the Beavers. However, the Beavers con tinued as the top rushing team with 245.5 yards to 225.3 for Stanford. Washington State led in passing with 150.7 to Stan ford's 103. UCLA was tops In team punt ing and interceptions. The Bruins have picked off 12 enemy aerials and have averaged 42.2 yards on punts. Shea On Top In individual statistics, Stan ford fullback Charles Shea took over the lead in rushing while Washington' State's Bob New man continued to lead both in passing and total offense. Shea gained 86 yards last Saturday against UCLA to move past Ore gon's Jim Shanley and Nub Beamer of Oregon State for the rushing lead with a total of 472 yards to 467 for Shanley and 406 for Beamer. Despite being held to 68 yards by Southern California over the Illinois Valley Football Dinner Saturday Night Cave Junction Illinois Val ley high school football dads will celebrate with their sons at the fifth annual Boosters' club ban quet to be held Saturday night, November 2, at the high school gym- Boys whose fathers are not available for the dinner will be the guesti of other valley foot ball fans. Tickets are now on sale at $2.50, which will allow one boy and his dad or stand-In to attend. A three hour entertainment has been planned by Chairman Pat Whitely and his committee. Included will be a movie in full of the Oregon State-Stanford game. Don Brown will serve as master of ceremonies. Proceeds from the banquet will go toward the purchase of a "Vibro-Whirl, a machine used in the treatment of "charley horses" and sore muscles. It is similar to machines used in ex ercise for polio and rheumatism victims. For All Athletes With the Vibro-Whirl comes a small bathtub, so that hot baths can be included in the treat ment. The machine is not for the football team alone, but will be used by the entire athletic de partment for basketball players, trackmen, wrestlers, and others. Local merchants have contri buted much of the food, with the exception of chickens which are being bought by the commit tee. The dinner will be prepared and served by wives of the foot ball "dads. Formed five years ago, the Boosters club was first chair manned by Earl Spencer, who presided for two years. Bob Cherry took over from him, and Orviile Meredith had the plan ning job last year. At the con clusion of the banquet, this year's chairman, Pat Whiteley, will name his successor. GOOD LOOKING! week end, Newman had a total of 52 completions in 100 pass attempts for 669 yards and six touchdowns, Jack Douglas of Stanford was second in passing with 40 completions for 492 yards.
