(N'EA) Four Major Teams Still Undefeated Oregon Campus Settles Down After Miracles Team Upsets USC Two Players Are Hurt in Crash EUGENE, Noy.

2. The University of Oregon football team tried today to calm down after two near miracles. One waff Saturday's stunning 13-7 upset victory over Southern California. The other was the survival of two players who were hurled 130 feet through the air in a post-game airplane crash. Southern Cal, ranked No.

7 in the Associated Pres poll last week and victories in all its Pacific Coast Conference games since 1931, was favored to win by at least 14 points. But Oregon, which hadn't posted a conference victory this year, used a passing attack to crack the Southern California line with touchdown drives in the second and fourth quarters. George Shaw, a regular quarterback switched to end, hcored first for Oregon, catching a 17-yard pass in the end from sub quarterback Barney Holland. Passes from Holland to Shaw, for 15 and 13 yards, highlighted the fourth period drive which ended with Walt Gaff-ney scoring. Standout tailback Aramis Dan-doy led Southern Cal's 73-yard third-quarter advance and plunged over from one yard out.

A few plays later he was injured and taken out of the game. Oregon's defense, which has held all competitors this season to not more than two touchdowns a game, was in good shape Saturday with center Ron Pheister, tackle Keith Tucker and guard Jack Patera turning in top performances. Halfback Dick James, who intercepted a pass in the final minutes to stop a Southern Cal drive, was among those singled out for praise by Oregon Coach Len Casanova. Several other Southern Cal scoring threats were nullified by penalties. Three Oregon players suffered leg injuries but are expected to recover for next Saturday's game here with Idaho.

But the two players injured in the airplane crash will be out for the rest of the season. They are fullback Dean Van Leu-ven and tackle Jerry Nelson. Van Leuven, who played in the game a few hours earlier, was piloting the light plane when it crashed into treetops bordering the Columbia river while on a flight to his home on the Oregon coast. He said they were thrown 150 feet through the windshield and landed on a moss covered hillside. JOCKEY COMMENTS SAN MATEO.

Nov. 2. What does a jockey think of those glamorous victory kisses after a stake race triumph? Gordon Glisson, former national champ reminiscing at Bay Meadows, grimaced and said of one owner: "That lady (a 173-pounder) has the biggest mouth I've ever seen. Irish, Terps, Baylor, West Virginia Remain. KEEPING HIS FINGERS CROSSED Charley Dressen, new boss of the Oakland Oaks, crosses his fingers hoping he can bring another pennant to the Pacific Coast League team.

Dressen managed the Oaks to a flag win in 1950 before going to the Brooklyn Dodgers. By ED CORKIGAN NEW YORK, Nov. 2. (AP) Only four major college football teams remained undefeated and untied today as the campaign headed into the home stretch and the crucial game3 that can make or break many a coach. Notre Dame, Maryland, Baylor and West Virginia are the sole members of the select circle and at least two of them would be just as happy if the season were over now.

Baylor Sports Roundup x-Mf: makes such a shift possible virtually on a moment's notice. The two teams we have heard mentioned most frequently as candidates are the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies, though this was only talk. One thing generally agreed upon is that there is no thought of extending the league to 10 clubs. Del Webb of the Yankees has been leading a vigorous movement to get the American League out there first, but since Baltimore won the St. Louis Browns franchise this apparently has subsided.

Anyway, it always was difficult to see how the Americans expected to move in on the territory of Wrigley, a pillar of the rival league. It seems logical to suppose that the plan will be to combine San Francisco and its cross-bay neighbor. Oakland, into one big league club. Oakland scarcely could continue to operate in the Coast Le ague Chuck Dressen now will be available to manage such an entry, and that almost surely is what he had in mind when he gave up the Brooklyn job. Sunshine park in Florida is scheduled for a 51-day racing meeting in 1954.

The dates are Jan. 15 to March 15. 111 -4 I Maintain Lead In Pro Circuit Brovns Win Sixth Rams Whip Lions; 49'ers Top Bears By ORLO ROBERTSON-NEW YORK. Nov. 2.

UP The National Football League season reached the half-way mark today with the Cleveland Browns pafely entrenched as leader of the Eastern Conference and the Los Angeles Ram3 holding down the top spot in the western division but by no great margin. The Browns, only undefeated club in the 12-team circuit, chalked up win No. 6 yesterday by drubbing the Washington Redskins 27-3 with a three-touchdown parade in the last half. The Rams took undisputed command of the Western Conference with a 37-24 triumph over Detroit's Lions, 1952 champions. The defeat dropped the Lions into a tie for second place with the San Francisco 49ers, who downed the Chicago Bears 24-14 as their injured quarterback.

Y. A. Tittle, returned to action after an absence of three weeks. The standings show the Rams with a 5-1 record compared to the 4-2 mark of the 49ers and the Lions. EAGLES MOVE UP Philadelphia's high scoring Eagles moved into the runner-up spot in the Eastern Conference with a 35-7 triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The New York Giants won their second game of the season at the expense of the winless Chicago Cardinals 23-20 on a 75-yard pass play in the last seven seconds. Saturday night the Green Bay Packers whipped the Baltimore Colts 35-24. The unenviable task of trying to stop the Browns falls to the Steelers this week at Cleveland. But a Pittsburgh victory wouldn't have any serious affect on the standings for the Eagles, who meet the Giants, trail by 2Va games. Out on the west coast the Rams and 49ers renew their feud at Los Angeles, where a record.

crowd of 93.751 sat in on yesterday's contest. Earlier in the season at San Francisco, the 49ers edged the Rams 31-30. Behind 10-0 at the end of the first period yesterday the Rams got back into the ball game on a five-yard buck over the goal line by Skee Quinlan and a field goal by Ben Agajanian. Then the Rams sewed it up by scoring there times in the third period and once in the final quarter. The third quarter scores came on a 74-yard jaunt by Quinlan, a pass interception by Don Paul who lateralled to Woody Lewis and another interception by Jack Dwyer.

Norm Van Brocklin passed to V. T. Smith for the final six pointer. TITTLE RETURNS Tittle, his broken cheekbone protected by a mask, sparked the 49ers by setting up the first score, made by Joe Arenas, with a 47-yard pass and tossing to Bill Wilson for another touchdown. George Elanda threw two touchdown passes, one to Bill McColl and the other to Billy Stone, to keep the Bears in the ball game.

The Browns had a nip and tuck affair with the Redskins before breaking the game wide open in the last half by taking advantage of the breaks to make a runaway of the game. One of their touchdowns came after recovering a fumbled punt, another followed a blocked kick and the third came on an intercepted pass. Bobby Thomason of the Eagles completed 22 of 33 passes, three for touchdowns. Jerry Williams and Harold Gianeanelli went overland for the other two Philadelphia tallies. The winless Cardinals apparently had the Giants whipped with a 20-17 lead and only 30 seconds remaining.

Then Arnold Galiffa, ex-Army star, fired a 25-yard pass to Kyle Rote who raced down the sidelines for the touchdown. Bob Rigali is a halfback on the Notre Dame football squad. His father won a Notre Dame football letter back in 1923. 6k? t0 cfias 9i By WILL. GRIMSLEY NEW YORK.

day of rising prices; Conference foes to play and ule. But for the record they still meet Penn. North Carolina, Iowa, Southern California and Southern Methodist. Maryland still has George Washington, Mississippi and Alabama on its schedule. 01' Miss which has been beaten only once by Auburn stands the best chance of making things rough for the Terps.

Illinois has one foot In the door to high scoiety. The Mini have been tied but not beaten. If they can get past Michigan Saturday, they should have clear sailing to the Big 10 title and a bid to the Rose Bowl. After Michigan, they have only Wisconsin and Northwestern. There was some worry in the Illini camp that Purdue might present a problem, especially after licking Michigan State the previous week.

But the Boilermakers couldn't stop J. C. Caroline and Mickey Bates, the mini's talented sophomores, and unless one of them suddenly develops a case of the gout, it looks like no one else will. The final was 21-0. TEAM UNDECIDED The other Rose bowl nominee remaining far from decided because of the Pacific Coast Conference situation.

At the moment Stanford, winner of all five of its league games, rules the favorite. But it still must dispose of Southern California and California, neither of which plays in the Girl Scout league. UCLA has lost only one conference game, that to Stanford, and still has a chance if the Trojans and Bears cooperate. UCLA also plays Southern Cal on Nov. 21.

Southern Cal, Yale, Louisiana State and Utah are the latest to tumble from the unbeaten ranks although they all had been tied. Oregon surprised one and all by polishing off Southern Cal 13-7 while Dartmouth provided the form reversal of the Ivy League season by crushing Yale, which had hoped to walk off with the title, 32-0. Now the" standings are in a state of complete confusion. Mississippi beat Louisiana State 27-16 and Washington stopped Utah, the leader of the Skyline Conference 21-14. Michigan State and Georgia Tech, both of which had their long undefeated streaks snapped a week ago, rebounded with a vengeance and now each has a skein of one.

State whipped Oregon State 34-6 and Tech swamped Vanderbilt 43-0. Both still have rocky rows to hoe.

Circumstances of the sale of the San Francisco ball club for a ridiculous $100,000, and that to be paid sometime maybe, indicates that one of the big leagues, probably the National, is taking steps toward moving in on the Pacific coast sooner than might have been supposed. Significant was the fact that Jimmie Gallagher, an executive of the Chicago Cubs, and his boss, P. K. Wrigley, who owns both the Cubs and the Los Angeles Angels; attended the meeting at which the sale was approved. From information which seeped out of the closed session, Gallagher apparently had a full voice in the discussion.

KEEPS STADIUM Also it was worthy of note that Paul Fagin, while selling his San Francisco franchise and players for nothing much, hung on to the modem Seals stadium and reserved the right to re-buy the club for the same sum if one of the major leagues moves in within the next five years. He obviously felt that the period sepcified gives him plenty of leeway. It came out that, before the sale was made to an unmonied group headed by Damon Miller, Fagin had talked to Gallagher and Bill Veeck, the latter now employed by Wrigley to smooth the way for the coming big league trek to the west. Fagin, whahas been accused by some of his irate fellow magnates of trying to wreck the Coast League, must have known something. All he gave up, actually, was the privilege of losing more money running the Seals between now and the day the big story pops.

Other Coast League owners appear to have dropped their defiant attitude and to be resigned now to having their territory invaded. Bob Cobb of the Hollywood club, who has that franchise only through Wrigley's sufferance, was quoted as saying he was ready to move out before the expiration of his agreement in 19o7 if the big leagues came. Emil Sick of Soattle said his league would "welcome" the invasion. NO THIRD LEAGUE So the Coast leaguers have abandoned their dream of a third major. Wrigley is prepared to deliver Los Angeles and Fagin San Francisco.

It now appears to remain only for the National League to decide which of its two clubs will move into the rich new territory. The league already has passed a measure which when iniurt wlfh FARMERS I To cut auto insurance com in terms of a phone or office call will prove it can be done without sacrificing Protection and Service.

As for Notre Dame and Maryland, there isn't much to say about them except that there doesn't seem to be anyone on their schedules to challenge them. Both seem to get stronger as the season progresses. If they keep up their present pace, their first teams will begin to rust for a lack of action. BENCH EMPTIED Joe McArdle, who substituted for Frank Leahy, the ailing master, emptied the Irish bench Saturday in an effort to hold down the score against Navy the same Tars who were being touted only two weeks ago as the class of the East.

The final count was 38-7. Leahy, who collapsed at half-time of the Georgia Tech game nine days ago, had his doctor's permission to rejoin the team today if he doesn't exert himself. South Bend was swarming with scouts for the Navy game and they came away breathless. One, shaking his head, said he refused to believe Notre Dame could be as good as advertised. "Now I know," he said sadly.

Maryland, too, used its regulars for only about half the game with South Carolina but still won 24-6. Jim Tatum's Terps should win the Atlantic Coast Conference title and go on to the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma, which seems certain of taking the Big Seven title again, especially after its convincing 34-0 triumph over Kansas State, its chief rival for the throne.
