The fire apparently started in the western' portion of the big mill, where only trimming saws are operated.

The mill had not been running since Friday afternoon and officials pointed out there seemed no possible source of a fire in that portion of the mill under normal conditions.

Schindler accounted for Troy's first four touchdowns, handled the maneuvers and booted the pigskin on the few times it was necessary.

Oregon put its best Webfoot forward, but it wasn't quite a long enough stride. Prink Callison's Ducks made a game of it during the first half, but Howard Jones' thundering herd rumbled and trampled their outweighed opponents under foot. One by one the Oregon bench was vacated as players were injured and removed to the dressing room. Pass Attack Good The echoes of Schindler's running must have reached to the far corners of the Pacific coast conference, giving the Trojans a definite place in championship consideration despite their 7-0 loss to Washington. Oregon, out of the race perhaps, showed a potential passing attack that will continue to worry future favored opponents.
