Both are in top shape. University of Oregon, Eu gene Oregon s football coaching staff returns home from a series of clinics and all-star games Monday and be gins work on final planning for the rugged 10-game sched ule ahead this fall. One of the major features in the Webfoot plans for their defense of the Pacific Coast conference championship will be designing means of stop ping some of the more potent offensive teams in the country. Oregon has been noted for its defense in the last five years, having compiled the best record in the conference, and the Webfoots will have Dodgers Eye Fourth Spot In League Los Angeles (UPD The partially-crippled Los Angeles Dodgers, out of the second di vision for the first time since April hope to take over un disputed possession of fourth place in a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cards today. The Dodgers earned a tie for fourth Friday night with twin-killing over the same Cards 4-3 in 11 innings and 5-3. Los Angeles, with four straight home wins, sends Sandy Koufax (9-5) and Dan ny McDevitt (1-5) or Fred Kipp (5-4) against Nelson Chittum (0-0) and Sam Jones (10-8) of the Cards. It will be the final appear ance of the year for the Cards in the Coliseum.

Oklahoma, always a nation al power, ranked fifth nation ally in rushing last year while Miami was 10th. In passing Washington State was second in the nation and the ace Cou gar quarterback, Bob New man, not only was the leading total offense leader, but also ranked second in individual passing. The Indians and the Beavers ranked one-two in the conference in offense and are raed serious threats again this fall. In the .last five years Ore gon has been first in total de fense twice, second another two years and slipped to fourth only once. The UCLA Bruins are the closest chal lengers to the Webfoots, hav ing wound up first twice, and second, third and fourth one years each in the last five. The Webfoot pass defense has been particularly tough, with the Oregon totals being best in the league three of the seasons . since 1952 and this will be particularly important against the Cougars and the Indians. The importance of the de fense to the Webfoot success last fall was typified by the fact that only two teams, WSC and Stanford, scored more than two touchdowns in the 11 games played. It was much the same in 1956, too, as the opposition averaged only 10.2 points per game.

UCLA Athletic Director Wilbur Johns said in Chicago that he would recommend the present coaching staff direct the Bruins this season, with out hiring a new head coach to succeed Sanders.
