The Lions, tied with the Baltimore Colts for second behind the Forty-Niners with three defeats in conference play. Morris earned the individual honors of the contest by running up 212 yards in 15 times he. car ried the ball to set both an Ore gon and a Southern California's opponent mark for rushing. The brilliant fullback raced 63 yards for a touchdown and 58 yards on a run that failed to score in piling up his huge yardage.

Oregon then marched 98 yards with Jim Shan ley skirting left end tfrom the 2 to leave Oregon with a 16-0 lead at halftime. In the closing min utes of the first half USC drove to the 8 where time ran out. After an inconclusive third period in which- Southern Calif ornia exercised ball control but couldn't get into scoring territ ory, the Trojans came back In the final period with a march of 48 yards to score on halfback Don Buford's spurt for the final seven yards. But with veteran quarterback Jack Crabtree in command, Ore gon prevented the Trojans from adding another score, although they tried desperately. Tom Maudlin, Southern California quarterback piled up 141 yards passing but much of it came on the march in the closing seconds of the first half which fell short of the goal.

Quarterback King Hill inter cepted a pass to launch the Rice touchdown. He scored the touch down and also kicked the extra point that beat the Cadets.
