USC upset a highly-regarded Duke team, 14-7, last week and has been pegged an 11 point choice over the Mus tangs, But Stanford faces a much tougher row.

UCLA is Idle UCLA still has a week to go before it launches its cam paign. But there are plenty of other key games on top. They include Illinois at Wash ington, Washington State at Wyoming, Utah at Oregon, Oregon State at Iowa and San Jose State at California. Daugherty has labeled his Michigan State team as "pep py and in good shape" for the Indians who may have found a good running back al last in J. D. Lodato. The latter got off a 30-yard touchdown run to beat Tulane. Southern California used "red," "green" and "gold" squads while knocking off Duke and Coach John McKay, after viewing the game films, will stay with them. He also will be going with Willie Brown, his fast halfback, who showed well against the Blue Devils. Halfback Charlie Mitchell, an established star al Washing ton, may not start when the favored Huskies meet the II lino. Coach Jim Owens moved Nat Whitmeyer up ahead of the veteran Mitchell as a re sult of the former's play against Purdue. Washington State, which bombed San Jose State 49-8 last Saturday, takes on a Wyo ming team that' lost to New Mexico by four points last week.
