WEATHER WILL PROVE 1

The weatherman served no

reckon with the length of the
Pacific coast in Saturday’s tra
diltdonal finales to the 1955
football season.
Bain whs forecast in the
south, where UOLA clashes
with Southern California in its
battle for the Rose Bowl, and!
snow accompanied by frigid
winds was expected in the
north as Oregon State put its
outside chance for a Pasadena
appearance on the line against
arch-rival Oregon.
The in-between contests —
geographically and statistically
— are supposedly in for the
same type of treatment. Cold
and snow were due for the
Was hi mgf on-Wa s hi ngt o n State
and Idaho-Montapia games and
rain for the Stanford-Oalitfor
nia tilt.
A nation! television audi
ence, plus 100,000 Los Angeles
Coliseum flans, will get a
chance to see how UCLA’s
fifth-ranked Bruins and the
thrice-beaten Trojans respond
to soggy going. Both teams de
pend primarily on running
games, USC because it has had
no passer all season and UCLA
because it lost > Ronnie Knox
with a broken ankle bone last
Saturday.
Real bad footing could pro

the Bruins’ All America candi

Trojan’s Gordy Duvall, slick
turf will add to the spice of fast

The 10-point favorite Bruins
can wriap up their third Pacif

throw things into ia peculiar
state of confusion. I
Such a situation would give
Oregon Sfca.e the FCC crown
on a 6-1 record, against UCL
A’s 5-1. But conference rules
specify that in Rose Bowl vot
ing “the team which receives
a majority of the nine votes
cast is iihe representative, re
gardless of the number or na
ture of its wins or losses dur
ing the season.” That could
mean — probably would —
that UCLA would get the Bowl
bid on the strength of its 38
0 win over the Beavers Oct. 8
Oreigon State’s single wing,
plus season-long alert play,
ranks the Beavers one-touch
down favorites over the Ducks
Any breaks occasioned by slip
pery going on the field could
work io the advantage of OSC,
which has made a practice of
seldom letting a misplay go to
wiaste.
Coach Chuck Taylor’s Stan
ford Indians, the conference’s
top offensive club, were favor
ed by 20 points over Californ
ia regardless of weather even
though they baven’it won the
“big one” in nine years. The
expected victory would square
the long series at 24 each, with
10 ties.
Washington, barring a let
down after last week’s s.erling
go against UCLA, should have j
no trouble with WSC which'
j has won only once all year,,
' and Jdaho off its showing a
gainst Brigham Young a week
ago should skid to a win over

The usually happy, slugging
first baseman by trade during
the summer months, Bill Pat
terson, wasn’t smiling on Nov.
1 when his Edgecumlbe basket
ball squad took its first official
workout.
‘‘This will be an average
squlad,” Patterson said and then
added, “ibut we hope to sur
prise some of the teams this
year.”
Patterson then laughed when
it was suggested that he was a
bit pessimistic. He pointed out
that the loss of Bud Ivey, Bob
Singvke and Eve ret. Williams,
the head-line ringleaders of
last season’s team, will be felt
before the forthcoming season
has run its course.
He stated: “But someone al
ways comes up. We do have a
lot of boys with some exiper-1
ience led by Jeiff Trenton, Char
lie Moses and George Guth
erie.” He smiled, then added:
•We will let things go as they
may hoping they will come out
with Edgecumibe on top.”
Endowed with some 60 can
didates on get-aiw ay-d/ay, the
Edgecumtbe mentor begins his
second tenure on the Cardinal
and Gold campus with almost
the selfsame bast that played
the leading roles during the
1955 production. Trimming his
rosier to 12 players, including
9 monogram winners, Patter
son will open the fireworks on
Dec. 1 with a seasoned crew of j
8 seniors and 4 juniors. Expect I
ed to carry the Edgecutmfee iban
ner, besides Trenton, Moses
and Gutherie, are: William Jim,
Slam Howai'd, Ron John, Frank
AshoaJk. Billy Oslbikoff, Ed i
Bent. Alfred Woods and Irving
“We’ll See” Igtanloc.
The Edgecumibe coach had a
lot of praise for this season’s
squad: “We really have no out
standing player. All are aver
age and able on a given night
to break the back of any team.”
Big Bill was non-committal
on the type of offense that he
will harness on his horses dur
