...started in characteristic style with a touchdown in the first period by towheaded Irvine ("Scooter") Warburton, its nimble, 145-lb. quarterback, who wriggled free on Stanford's 43-yd. line. In the next period Stanford's speedy Fullback Bobby Grayson slashed and passed through the Trojan line, punched over a touchdown. Southern California's line stiffened and it looked like a tie game when Bill Corbus went to work...
...more to worry about in this week's game against Oregon. Last week Oregon, led by its Fullback "Mighty Mike" Mikulak, made two battering-ram 70-yd. drives through Oregon State to win 13-to-3. Oregon State was the team which held U. S. C. to a scoreless tie last month. Last week's result set Oregon up as the season's new Humpty Dumpty of the Pacific, undefeated and untied...
Barring last-minute changes, Chester Litman will fill Lane's shoes at right halfback while Cedric Janien will substitute for Dean at fullback. Bob Haley at quarter and Danny Wells at left half will complete the roll.

Captain Dean was bumped pretty hard in the Army game and it is doubtful whether he will be able to start on Saturday. On Tuesday, Nevin was put in at the fullback post and was primed as a reserve or possible starter in that berth. Yesterday it was Janien who had the workout there and Nevin was relegated to the B outfit. The starting back in the department is till uncertain, but the choice will probably lie between Janien and Nevin. Janien looked good in the practices both on Tuesday and yesterday, and may get the call over Nevin...
