Thirtv-five year old Bus Eaton, local lumber truck driver, finished off his stint at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, some 49 hours and 15 minutes after he started, with 280 straight games under his belt. He beat the old record ol 261 games set in 1931 by Paul Garfield of St. Louis. Mo. at Saratoga Recrea tion in Maplewood, Mo. Eaton beat the record at iu:Z7 p.m. Saturday when he rolled a 133 score on nis zbzna game, ror the 262 games he averaged 169.68 on 44.456 pins in 45 hours and 42 minutes. At tne Zbz-game marc ne had 883 strikes, 1,075 spares and 295 errors. He finished his marathon at 2 a.m. Sunday when he rolled a 132 game. His final average was 161.6 pins per game on a total of 45,305 pins. He had in his 280-game total, 926 strikes, 1,138 spares and over 300 errors, Averages 161.6 Local pinmen compared his feat to dc me equal ot rolling three complete leagues seasons by the average bowlers who rolls three games per week in one league for 32 weeks, in terms of dead weight. pinmen figured that the 3,202 times Eaton threw his 16-pound ball down the alley represented handling about 26 tons of weight in the 49 hours and 15 minutes. Eaton, presently unemployed, found that he had lost six pounds from his 5-9 frame after the feat. He weighed in at 164 before he started Thursday night and scaled 158 soon after he finished bowling early Sunday morning.

CO. II - ' Etegling Sunday gathered around alley 16, Eaton accepted the greeting, answered a long distance phone call, then re juvenated set about for further record-setting. He said that he felt at this stage as good or better than he had when he started. However, by the 273rd game he said he "started really deteriorating fast." 'During the 280th game his thumb developed a new buster he said, this neces- sitated his "forcing the ball" which in turn he said "wore me out. Decide To Quit Upon completing the 280th game, Eaton was examined by a physi cian and a pulse reading of 120 per minute was taken, wun nis pin per game average falling gradual iy and all the other factors taken into consideration be decided to terminate the marathon. Through his entire nerformance. Eaton's meal-taking consisted of i one sirloin steak (which he did not finish), a couple doughnuts, num erous candy bars, two milk shakes (one with an egg in it), cokes, milk, root beer and lots of orange juice. He arose Sunday morning about 7:30 and said "he felt fine." He said his fingers of his throwing hand "felt a little stiff." He was bothered by a blister early in the going, about the 110th game, which also hurt his throwing and brought on a series of splits. Eaton pointed to the fact that a "perfectly centered Manhattan ball" was largely responsible for his hand's endurance and he also cited that over the entire distance the automatic pin-setters at the al leys functioned without fail. He bowled on alley 16 some 260 of his games. Three times during the course of the marathon he switched to alley 13 for cleaning periods on alley 16 and for some i'h hours on Friday night his game per hour pace was slowed down while he shared the alley with a regular league team. Merchant Marine Eaton's tentative plans are to join the merchant marine for the winter. He has served there for nine years in the past. He plans to return to his trucking operation here next year again. He is married and the father of three youngsters, aged five, four and two. Eaton has lived here since 1951 when he moved here from Portland. One accomplishment which Eat on was quite proud of, among oth ers, was the fact that during his entire kegling stint, he didn't throw a "gutter ball" on his first throw in each frame.

The interception was the second of the day for Young and broke a 7-7 tie to give Glendale its fourth league victory of the season and the fifth win of the year against no de feats. It was an uphill battle for the Pirates as Henley opened the scor ing the first time that they got their hands on the ball. A 15-yard off tackle run gave them the score and a successful kick gave them the extra point. Glendale started its first drive of the game late in the first quar ter and scored the tying touchdown early in the second period on a one yard line smash by Ray Munyon. The drive covered 65 yards and was the longest drive of the game. The extra point was added on a pass from Troy Reynolds to Young. Neither team could manage a score in the third period of play although Glendale reached the Hen ley 10-yard line on two different occasions only to lose the ball on downs. Young then picked the pass out of the air in the'final period for the tie-breaking touchdown. Not a hand was laid on him during his 55-yard gallop. The extra point was no good on an attempted pass.

Frenzy Planned The WSC student body was ready to break out in a yild ex hibition of football frenzy had the Cougars been ahead at the final gun in this big game between tne only two eligibles undefeated in the PCC. Among the student rooters in the crowd of 19,000, it must have been embarrassing to have a WSC Rose Bowl banner tucked under the seats at least until the last 11 minutes of the game. Oregon Coach Len Casanova had thrown a 4-4-3 defense at Cougar passers Newman and Bun ny Aldrich, stopped the WSC ae rial game and watched his Web foots drive methodically on t h e ground for one score, then get an other on a 35-yard pass play by Leroy Phelps and Jim Shanley Huskies Beaten By Stanford Saturday SEATTLE WI The Washing ton Huskies, still searching f o t their first football victory of 1957, will stay at home this weekend and see if the fugitive will come to them in the pe.rson of the Oregon State Beavers. They came to life twice Satur day against Stanford but Stan ford had three lives. The invad ing Indians let Washington's Homecoming Day crowd of 36,000 have a brief taste of leadership, then rolled to three touchdowns and left the Huskies still winless after five starts. The score was 21-14. Washing ton started with a bang, scoring on an 80-yard march in the first quarter. The Huskies finished ex plosively with a 67-yard touch down drive. But in between th"y had the look of a fizzled firecrack er. Stanford struck 57 yards in 9 plays to knot the count at 7-7 as the second quarter opened. Before the gun sounded for recess the Indians had another, after Gary Van Galder cornered a Washing Ion fumble on the Washington 16. It look 6 plays to put it over. That made the count 14-7 and Stanford ran it to 21-7 in the fourlh period with a march of 75 yards. A tricky reverse and a gal loping fullback named Chuck Shea kept the Huskies befuddled. As it turned out, Stanford needed the insurance counter. Stanford had only a slight edge in first downs, 15 to 13 but it also had only a slight edge in touchdowns, but edge enough.

Old fans who haven t been seen for years had come trom all parts of the Northwest to see WSC. Then the sluggish Cougar came alive with 11 minutes to go. Newman took me loam a yards for one score and then, 71 for an other and it was 14-13 with 65 seconds left, toacn Jim sutner land sent fullback Eddie Stevens in to try the conversion. Newman overruled him, tried it himself and ran into that 2-inch pipe. There wasn't enough time for the last minute lightning that struck down Stanford the week before, 21-18. A planned onside kickoff was too long. No Blame Sutherland laid no blame on the 21-year-old junior for second guessing him. He said Newman had the spunk to take responsi bility on his own shoulders be fore thousands of people. The Ducks, behind the great running of Morris, Jack Crab tree's heady quarterbacking and a stout line, gave WSC a bad time three-fourths of the way. The Webfoot attack was unspectacular but it made points, ate up time and produced 49 minutes of dull football to the frustration of Home coming Day fans who had come to cheer WSC to its first Rose Bowl bid since 1931. Now Oregon assumes the lead among the four PCC schools who have athletic purity and can travel to Pasadena. Ukes Snap OSC Win Skein, 26-7 Corvallis OB Oregon State's football team came home 'Sunday with more to worrv about than its 26-7 defeat by UCLA at Los An geles Saturday. Several players were on the in jured list as coach Tommy Proth ro prepared to open drills for next Saturday's game with Washington at aeaitie. Joe Francis, ace tailback, was knocked unconscious when tack led Saturday, and still was having dizzy spells. Bill Robertson, train er, believed, however, Francis will be all right. George Enderle, reserve tackle, suffered a bad ankle sprain that probably will keep him out this week. Starling end Dwa.yne Four nier also had a sprained ankle. Regular blocking tack Ted Searle and reserve tackle Ed Kaohelau lili had less serious injuries. The Beavers, ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press poll, had no alibis for their first defeat of the season. They conceded that they were simply outplayed. The Beavers' only touchdown came in the fourth quarter the only period in which the Bruins failed to score. A 34-yard pass from reserve halfback Larry San chez to Jerry Doman put the ball on the USC one, and halfback Jim Stinnette went over. Sanchez converted on a run. The Bruins went 67 yards by land and air with 'the opening kickoff for Iheir first touchdown A 49-yard drive in the seoond I quarter gave them a 13-0 half 1 time lead.
