LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 U.R University of Southern California, playing like the Trojan thundering herd of old, today defeated Oregon State college, 48 to 6, before 61,000 fans at Memorial coliseum. It was a case of the Trojan line ripping the Oregon forward wall to shreds and a smooth-clicking backfield slip ping through the openings with speed and ease. The game saw Trojan end Paul Clearly playing like an All-American and halfback Mickey McCardle returning to the form that made him the most feared back in the west in 1044. Bat despite their defeat by such a lop-sided score, it was a Beaver player, halfback Ken Car penter, who made the game's longest run and set up his team's third-period score when he took the kickoff on his own five and ran it back 74 yards.

Long gains were run by Don Doll, Don Garlin, Gordon Gray, Ted Tannehill and Biff Betz. In fact, all the Trojan backs looked good as their line opened holes as it pleased.

Jack Farris.

George Blanda. Dan Phelph, Bill Boiler and an array of subs baffled the Vanderbilt line with their runs from the formation and rolled up 261 yards from scrimmage to Vanderbilt's mere 36. The field, slippery but not muddy from morning rain, apparently didn't bother Kentucky's race-hos runners. With its line, strong in its victories over Northwestern, Alabama and Mississippi, thoroughly outplayed, Vanderbilt's offense made headway only once. It was the Kentuckians' second brilliant victory in as many weeks they upset "Georgia last Saturday and Blue Grass fans have forgotten about an opening loss to Mississippi in their enthusiasm to wangle a bowl invitation for the Wildcats.

Cowboys Upset Utah State By 33-19 Margin LARAMIE, Oct. 18 (U.R) In one of the season's biggest upsets in Big Seven conference football, the University of Wyoming Cowboys piled up a 33-19 score against the Utah State Farmers, co-champions of last year before cheering home town fans.

But it was the second quarter that spelled out.

the Aggie fate. Then 1t was that the lack of Jay Van Noy, all-conference back of last year, became most apparent. Van Noy, injured last week, did not play today. In that second quarter, Wyoming pushed across three touchdowns, two of them the result of Aggie fumbles. The Utags suc ceeded in crossing into pay dirt once in that frame, making the halftime margin 33-13.

In the third period, the Aggies managed to hold the Cowpokes away from their goal line and even succeeded in scoring once themselves. The fourth period was scoreless. WALKER LEADS SMU TO WIN Oct. 18 (U.R) Dazzling Doak Walker passed and i an potent Southern Methodist to an upset 14 to 0 victory over Rice Institute today with the Mustangs emerging as a real menace for the southwest conference title. drenched spectators among whom were Gov.

Ben Laney of Arkansas and Gov. Beauford H. Jester of Texas. The rampaging Texans, rated among the best teams in the nation, held the Porkers in check after the first score. Arkansas, defending co-champion of the southwest conference, was held to three first downs, all made in the last few minutes of play.

Texas piled up 18 first downs, 14 along the ground. Blond Bobby Layne's passing with a slippery ball and the plunging of Randall Clay. Ray-, mond Jones and James Canady produced the Texas win.

A long pass was Incomplete on the five yard line, but the officials ruled that Colorado had been" guilty of interfering with the pass receiver, and the Cou gars took over.

On. the second play, big Bruce Osborne skirted left end for the score. Don Bushore calmly booted the extra point and the battle of nerves waj on, with the Cougars temporarily in tne drivers seat. The Buffs took the kickoff arid rambled right down the field on a sustained march that ended when the Cougar line stiffened and held on the four yard marker.

BYU fumbled, and the rest is history. Neither team showed anything spectacular in the line of offensive power, and the Cougars especially showed a definite lack of scoring punch as they roared down the field to within striking distance of the Colorado goal five- times in the last half, only to have drives fizzel out.

Five plays on the ground gained only 12 yards. A pass by Parkinson to end Bernard Hafen moved the ball to within scoring distance, and Parkinson went over on the next play from the DU 6. The strength and speed of the Utah line was perhaps the biggest surprise of the game.

The Pioneers' running plays brought a net loss, and Denver made most of its yardage in the air. Defensively Pioneer tackle Eugene Beauchamp, who played nearly the full 60 minutes, was outstanding. Sharing defensive honors with him. though, was a new star in the Utah front wall tackle Don Smith, who found the Pioneer line to be no hazard and broke through to end many Denver plays behind the scrimmage line.
