The game was played on a sloppy field which bogged down the attacks of both teams.

Both the Warriors and the Miller attacks are built around fast shifty backs and the mud was the equalizer between 'a favored Springfield team and the fighting Warriors. Springfield dominated the game from the statistical point of view. The Millers recorded 171 yards gained from rushing to 87 for Lebanon. The first downs all of Halfback Dalton u.

Bob Waterfield, spearhead of U.C.L.A.'s hot-and-cold Q-T formation, is the hero of the moment in the Pacific Coast conference football race. Listed tenth among coast leaders two weeks ago, the Bruin quarterback ran wild against California and Oregon State to amass 336 yards from passing and rushing, and advance to second place in total offense ratings of the American Football Statistical Bureau. Waterfield completed 22 out of 49 passes in the two games, ousting Idaho's Howard Manson from passing leadership and giving Bob Robertson of Southern California competition for offensive leadership.

Fullback Lee Todd was held for no gain at the center of the line and Right Halfback Merle Nice was thrown for a four yard loss on a try around the Miller, left end. Seaman was stopped for no gain around the right end and the Miller threat ended when Todd's fourth down pass fell incomplete. The Warriors ran three plays for a net loss of six yards and kicked out again, Seaman running It back to the Warrior 45. Todd picked up three at the center of the line and Nice made it a first down with a 10 yard gallop around the left end. Seaman's pass fell incomplete and then he picked up five yards around right end.

A pass by Todd fell incomplete with 30 seconds remaining in the game. Todd's fourth down pass was Intercepted by Cal Jennings and the Warriors had time to toss three passes before the end of the game.

Waterfield actually has made 645 yards from passing, but a rushing total of minus 41 yards, incurred mostly when he couldn't get passes away, reduced his total. Another sophomore, Bob Barrett of Washington, retained his rushing leadership with a 408-yard total, but Stanford's Pete Kmeto-vic appeared ready to move into the lead this week while Barrett is idle. Kmetovic has gained 401 yards in 55 plays, while Barrett, the workhorse of the coast, has carried the ball 102 titmes. Curt Mecham of Oregon retained his margin in punting with a 41.02 yard average, while Fred Meyer of Stanford ousted Nick Susoeff, Washington State wing-man, in the pass receiving department. Meyer has caught 11 passes for 204 yards.

Top ten in total offense are: Robertson, USC, 663 yards; Water-field, UCLA, 604; Sewell, WSC, 602; Albert, Stanford, 599; Man-son, Idaho, 559; Mecham, Oregon, 462; Dethman, OSC; Naranche, Montana, 422; Barrett, Washington, 408; Kmetovic, Stanford, 401.

An still another note, and still another angle on the Frosh-Soldier scoreless tie at Astoria recently from Wally Johansen. The former Oregon hoopster who is now sports editor of the Astoria Budget says, "and, I'm not thinking seriously of enlisting in the army." In regard to the Frosh football game, Wally says, "In my estimation Lopaz never did have possession of the ball, but, after all, who am I to Judge? When he went for it he barely got it on his fingertips, and, In his horizontal position which found him almost parallel with the ground as he tried to stand on his feet, it was impossible for him to pull the ball against his body wrap his hands about It," But the game still goes on the records as a scoreless tie, which failed to lessen the fine record of John Warren's yearlings two straight over the Oregon State Rooks and a win over the Washington Husky Pups.
