Sixty thousand faas sweltered with the players, who drove themselves all-out to get a 7-to-7 tie.

It was the only deadlock played by any Pacific Coast Conference team this year. TEAMS DESERVED DEADLOCK To say that either team deserved to win would be unjust. The statistics proved it, Coaches Babe Horrell and Sam Barry admitted it and most of the spectators agreed. So it was, for the third time since this series was renewed in 1936, that these crosstown rivals fought to a deadlock. And while the Bruins haven't won one of these tussles yet, it seemed for a few fleeting mirfutes yesterday that they might.

TROY, BRUINS STAGE DRIVES Vic Smith scored from the 8 for the Bruins to finish a 60-yard drive and Bob Robertson punched his way. over ifrom the half-yard district to conclude a 63-yard march. Ken Snelling and Bob Jones kicked the goals. The outcome left both teams jammed close to the Pa- cific Coast Conference cellar. If you are of that school jthat doesn't consider Montana and Idaho should figure I in the race, then the two wound up in a tie for the very It was on third down after two tries gained less than the necessary two yards.

OFFICIAL VERSION But, presuming that the Bruin victory over Montana belongs and that's the official version, the Uclans ended up seventh with a .429 average with three wins, four losses and a tie.

Dec. 6.

MECIIAM COUNTERS The Longhorn first-stringers, headed by Pete Layden, Jack Crain, Malcolm Kutner, et al, were accorded a tremendous ovation when they left the field for the last time. About the only weapons used with any effect by Oregon were passing and a tricky hand-off reverse play by which it managed its only score.

If we had had time for another play in the first half oh, well, you can always think of ways to win games afterward.

CLOSE GAME "Our boys played good ball, I thought, and certainly gave the customers a close, hard-fought game to watch instead of the runaway some people had predicted. "Didn't Noah Curtl do a great piece of work? I predicted he was due for a whale of a game and he came through. Our quarterback faking helped a lot on those "We played our best, every one of us, and that's all a coach can ask. I just wish we always could play as we did today. TROY LAUDED "And don't overlook the fact that the Trojans put in 60 min- our team.

It was the same In 1939 when we drove the length of the field and fumbled almost on the goal line. That game ended in a tie, too, you recall.
