It was Oregon's first triumph over Troy in 26 years, and it is to Mecham of Rnkersfield that the Webfoots largely owe their conquest before 42,000 spectators in the Coliseum.

ON THROWING END It was Mecham who passed to Regner for the first Oregon touchdown in the second period. It was Mecham who fired one on a dime to Roblin for the next Oregon score in the third quarter. It was Mecham a few minutes later who intercepted a pass of Bobby Robertson's and raced 52 yards down the field before he was halted on the Trojan S. KICKING, TOO It was the same Mecham who capped this dazzling run by shooting another touchdown pass to Nowling in the end zone.

GREAT RECORD Most folks in these parts say Hapes, who weighs only 175 "pounds, was better entitled to All-American honors last year than Johnny Kimbrough of Texas And they'll drag out statistics to prove their point. Hapes carried the ball 120 times for a gross gain of 801 yards. Charge off 44 he lost on plunges and that leaves 807, or an average of 6.73 yards every time he carried the balL Kimbrough, by comparison, gained 660 yards while packing the pigskin 162 times. He was set back 58 yards by opponents, leaving him only 611 gained for a 3.77 average.

THROWS AXI KICKS That's where the comparison ends, because Kimbrough didn't rank very high nationally last year as a kicker or passer. He rarely ever did either of these things. Hapes, on the other hand, completed 13 out of the 21 passes he tossed in 1910 for 274 yards and 3 touchdowns. His punts averaged 44.92 yards and he scored an even dozen touchdowns. Merle was a tough cookie to pull down, once he got going.

He had a half-dozen gallops of 50 yards or more from last year and just to round out such a record, the folks add that he is a savage tackier on defense and a good diagnostician.
