Owls closed out the 1954 Oregon
Collegiate Conference' with a big
eplash here Saturday afternoon on
the high school football field as
they trounced Southern Oregon
College by a 44-14 score giving the
mile high school a share of the
OCC championship with Oregon
College.
Played In warm sunshine, Uie
final conference battle was a re
newal of the relations between the
two schools, who In 1952 met on
Modoc Field and the Owls ran with
easy ability to an 89-0 victory to
add insult-to Injury to the broken
SOC team.
Saturday It was just about the
same story, but not to the exagger
ated score, as the gridders from
the Mile High Campus in Klamath
Falls scored in every quarter
against the fired-up Red Raiders
lrom SOC
A bleak lute In the first period
of play set up the first OTI touch
down as, a Red Raider punt fell
dead on the SOC eight yard line,
giving the Owls a first and goal to
go with better than two minutes
remaining in the quarter.
On the first play, fullback Doug
Crlppen bucked his way to the
seven and then Ray Rosa the quar
terback from Daly City, Callfor
ornia swept to the two yard line
on a keep-it play, but an offsides
penalty against the Owls on the
next play moved the pigskin back
to the seven yard stripe once
more.
A play Into the line for no gain
made it fourth and still goal to go
for the Invading Owls. Rosa
dropped back to pass and spotted
Willie Stinson in the end zone and
hit him with a strike for the
score. Cal "Sugar Jet" Smith
failed in his conversion attempt
and the Owls led 6-0.
Just four plays later, the Owls
had another tally as Smith gath
ered in a SOC punt on his 29 yard
line and behind OTI interference
rambled some 71 yards for a touch
down. Again Smith's kick was no
good, this time the scoreboard
registered a 12-0 verdict in favor of
the OTI eleven.
In the final seconds of the first
period the Red Raiders fumbled
and Crippen fell on the-lost IrelH
giving tne Owls possession again
on the OTT 47. -
Two plays latep and into the sec
ond quarter, Rosa hit Odle Canada,
a returning letterman .who played
one of his best games in Owl
spangles on defense and offense,
with a pass to the SOC 29 yard
line good for nine yards and set

for the first time in the 45-year
history of Canada'sf ootball clas

to win the cup donated by Gov.
General Earl Orey in 1909.
The power-laded Als, with Den
ver's Sam Etcheverry pulling the
nigger for two touchdown passes,
whipped the Hamilton Tiger-Cats,
defending cup champions, 24-19
Saturday to take the Eastern Big
Four Union total-point series 38-28.
The Eskimos' entry into the final
as Western Canada's standard
bearers in the annual East-West
clash came much easier. They
polished off the Kitchener-Waterloo

In the cup semi-final.
Edmonton led Kitchener 7-8 it

TD and the attempted conversion
by the Portland grldder failed.
The second third period score
was set up as the Owls recovered
a SOC fumble on the mldfield
stripe, when Greene Rudd and
Spike Carter broke through to
smash an attempted reverse by the
Red Raiders.
Crippen, who had one score
called back because of an Infrac
tion against the Owls, took the ball
from Rosa on a stutter play and
went six yards on the fourth play
of the series for the score. Again
the try for point failed, giving the
Owls a 31-7 lead.
Oil an insuing k 1 c k o f f, SOC
moved the ball from their own 31
to the OTI 49, where a holding
penalty against the Owls moved
the pigskin to the Ore-Tech 34 yard
stripe and giving the Raiders a
first down.
Bill Seymore, one of the SOC
gridders, who were suppose to
miss the OTT battle because of
disciplinary reasons, pitched a per
fect strike to end Chuck Crandali
in the. end zone for a score. Gar
rett made it two for two by kick
ing the extra point.
Oregon Tech tallied twice in the
fourth period also, as Dave Thom
as ran over on a keep-it play from
Ihs five yard line with 10 minutes
remaining. "Sugar Jet" Smith's
kick was good making it 38-14.
Four minutes later, Lyle Fleet
wood garnered the last TD on a
buck from the one yard line, after
he and Linous Allen carried the
ball from the SOC 20 yard line
following Bud Garland's pass In
terception. This put the finishing touches on
the scoring for the day as Smith
again found it Impossible to pierce
the extra point column making the
final scoreboard leading 44-14.
Following the game in the OTT
dressing' room, pandimontum
broke loose as the Owls celebrat
ed their lirst taste of OCC cham
pionship since the league opened
five seasons ago, as OCE has held
the honor the four previous years.
This time OCE Is again in, but
only on a partnership basis, with
the Mile High Campus crew.
The OTT coaching staff, soaking
wet, from, showers, which they
hadn't planned, until the OTT grid
ders carried them into the water,
were very pleased with the show
ing of their entire team in the
final gamp.
This conquest was a big win for
the three gridiron mentors, who
have been looking for that first
OCC championship and were glad
to grab onto the title even as a
half owner.

'PULLMAN. Wash.'t.fl Basket
baller Ron Bennlnk. a student
trainer in the 1 oft season, picked
up a dirty tape, and helped put
away the helmets Saturday, then'
took the sports spotlight at Wash
ington State College.
The football team had just bowed
out as a 26-7 winner over Washing
ton's Inept Huskies.
Bennink, the top billed star of
a potentially fine five at WSC,
takes over from Frank Sarno, Jim
Hagerty and Duke Washington
whose performances brought duwn
the house in the football finale.
8TANDINS
The Huskies, loaded with stand
ins for injured and Ineligible regu
lars, got a mild panning from their
own cheer leaders and a pounding
from the big Cougar line in the
windup before some 17.500 people.
Except for 29 scoreless minutes
at the start and an early 71-yard
drive that carried to the WSC 23,
the Huskies were never in it and
WSC came close to making it em
barrassingly one-sided.
With 43 seconds left In the first
half, Sarno found Hagerty free in
the Washington secondary for a
46-yard touchdown pass play. The
stocky, 205-pound Sarno kicked the
point and the trend was set.
"It was a close first half any
way," said weary John Cherberg
whose Huskies had ended their
worst season in 34 years with a
2-8 record. "This was WSC's bes
game. We were thin, but there's
always next year."
And Cherberg and staff will be
bncx.
RECOGNIZED '
"Definitely yes," said Harvey
Casslll, the UW athletic director.
"Recognizing - all . the. .problems
they've had. I am completely satis
fied with the Job they have done."
Tne job was too big Saturday,
however, as the Cougars scored
three times in the third quarter.
Halfback Hagerty. who will also be
back next year, gained 53 of the
67 yards in a scoring march for
the first of them.
Hegerty, who made 18 points.
went 23 yards on one play and
then went over, from the one to
end a 74-yard drive five minutes
later. Without Hagerty, the Cougars
rolled 49 yards after a Bob Cox
fumble, the payoff coming on an
8-yard pitch from Bob Iverson to
Men Purnell.
WSC almost had two more In
the fourth quarter, getting to the
six and 20 before stalling with a
26-0 lead.
"It was a team victory for us,"
grinned Al Kircher, the Cougar
coach who soothed a lot of alumni
"wolves" with the thumping de
cision. "The Huskies weren't as
slrone as I thought."
GLOOMY
Tilings got so gloomy for the
Huskies, one of their cheer leaders
took to the loudspeaker in the
fourth quarter to tell his crew:
"Thank goodness we didn't play
the Vandals". The Washington root
ers then gave 15 organized "rahs'
for Idaho, 10-0 winner over WSC
his season and first foe for the
Huskies next fall.
Sophomore Cox, who may have
been listening, kept his team on
an 80-yard march for a touchdown,
completing six of eight passes.
Toe biggest was a fourth down.
23-yard throw to Dean Derby ruled
complete on the six on Hagerty's
Interference.
With 70. seconds remaining. Cox
tossed to end Corky Lewis for the
score and the unanimous token ap
plause that usually goes to a fight

of the four big postseason extrav-

Ohio State and UCLA boast proud

musters of their conferences

Despite the score, the game was
somewhat one-sided. The Vandals

Inieanwhile, was winning Its sev.
lenui Big Ten game, a ih decision
over Michigan.
Two other teams emerged with
bowl assignments. They were Ar-
kansas for the Cotton Bowl host
and Nebraska as the visitor for
Uie Orange Bowl. Both sneaked in
the back door.
Arkansas was beaten by Louisi
ana State 7-8, and Nebraska suf
fered a 65-7 pasting at the bands
of Oklahoma. But . . . Baylor beat
Southern Methodist 33-21 in a South
west Conference game. Since 8MU
was Arkansas' only competitor for
the Cotton Bowl assignment, the de
feat spelled finis for the Mustangs.
Baylor still can tie Arkansas for
the league title, but the Razor
backs had the forethought to whip
Baylor earlier In the season to
clinch It.
APPEARING
Oklahoma, like UCLA Is barred
from appearing hi the Orange Bowl
two years In a row, the runner
up gets it tills year. Oklahoma's
victory over Nebraska gave the
Sooner their seventh straight Big
Seven title.
Kansas Slate was the only team
that had a chance of overtaking
Nebraska In the race for second
place. Colorado beat State 36-14
and that settled tilings.
If Duke can get past North Car
olina Saturday: the Blue Devils no
doubt will get the Atlantic Coast
conlercnco spot in the Orange
Bowl. A vote Is taken, but Duke
will have a spotless record com
pared to one tie against Maryland.
Conversely, If the Blue oDevlls lose,
Maryland probably will get the nod
for the second straight year.
Should Mississippi win the South
eastern Conference championship
by getting past Mississippi State
Saturday, 01' Miss will act as host
team In the Sugar Bowl. Baylor has
a good chance of being named tho
visitor.
SELECTORS
'Hie settling of the Southeastern
race also will enable the Qotton
Bowl selectors some width in de
ciding the team to oppose Arkan
sas. Auburn and Kentucky, winners
of their last five In a row, appear
to have the InBlde track.
Wichita finally won a Missouri
Valley crown with a 20-0 victory
over Detroit and probably will get
a bid to the Gator Bowl. Any of
the teams passed over for the Cot
ton or Sugar bowls can get the
other spot.
The mythical Ivy League title
still is unsettled because Harvard
upended Yale, tho leader, 13-9, As
result, Harvard won the Big

and this one is
more important to the three teams
