Unbeaten Oregon Golfers Rap OSC Oregon’s varsity golf team outclubbed Oregon State 20 to 7 at the Eugene country club Saturday for the second victory over the Beavers in the cur rent conference season and the seventh consecutive dual match win.

Portland University, Univer sity of British Columbia, plus the double victory over Oregon State. Sid Milligan's divoteers will be idle until May 24 when they journey to Moscow, Idaho, for the Northh ern Division championship round over the nine-hole Palouse layout. Oregon found the Beavers pesky in the morning best ball round, but found the range in the singles competition. Webfoots Lou Stafford and Jim Duna hoo dropped three points to John Frey and Bill John son, and Ralph Dichter and Lee Lindquist picked up another half point from Glenn Spivey and Dorn Provost to give the Ducks a slim 1V2 point margin The Webfoota tightened up in singles competition, however, and scored 14 V2 points compared to 31 for Oregon State. A trio of Oregon golfers—Stafford, Spivey, and George Kikes—were the only ones able to find the range. They shared medalist honors with even par 72’s. Only four men will represent Oregon in the con ference championship instead of the customary six, and medal play is scheduled (with no give putts), rather than match play. Stafford and Spivey will probably hold their po sitions but the battle for the remaining berths will be between Rod Taylor, Bob Sederstrom, Dunahoo, Kikes, Provost, and Bob Eckstrom. Taylor moved up to the No. 4 position in front of Sederstrom in a challenge match last week. Van Brocklin Paces 26-19 White Win In First Preview of Aiken Method Coach Jim Aiken treated Junior Weekend visitors to some real football Saturday when he turned loose his grid ders in a full-length intra squad fray. The Whites, with Quarterback Norm Van Brock lin running over one touchdown and passing for three more, edged out the Green eleven, 26 to 19. Little time was wasted after the game started before the first touchdown was scored. The Whites, with Don Stanton doing the booting, kicked off to the Greens. Two plays gave the Green squad no gains, and they elected to kick out. But a stiff wind stop ped Fullback Ken Maine’s punt and dropped the ball on their own 20-yard line. Two running plays by Left Halfback George Bell and Fullback Bob Koch of the Whites put the pigskin on the third, and from there Van Brocklin crashed over on a quarterback sneak. The try for point failed. Van Brocklin to Garza Five minutes later, from his own 30, Van Brocklin tossed a long pass to Left End Dan Garza who broke clear to paydirt. Bob Sand ers, who played a limited amount on offensive but showed plenty of power, made his second try good, to make the count 13 to 0. That ended the scoring for the first period, but shortly after the second quarter started the pitch ing quarterback let loose another one, this time to Right End Lou Robinson who snagged the ball on the midfield stripe and galloped down to the 15 before he was stop ped. On the next play the per formance was repeated and this time Robinson went over. The conversion failed, and the score read 19 to 0. Greens Open V’p It looked as though it was going to be a one-sided affair, but the Greens started opening up with an TED MEI..VIS'D . . . letterman guard who displayed the type of ag gressiveness Saturday in the inirasquad football game that will make j him a contender for a first string berth on the Duck eleven next fall. attack of their own. On a hand-off play from Bill Abbey, Halfback Bob Oas cut through rignt tackle and raced through the secondary from his own 30 to the 7 yard line before he was hit. Quarterback Abbey called a passing play on the next try. and when all the receiv ers were covered he packed the leather through the scattered de fense to score. The Greens’ con version missed. A few minutes later Ken Maine powered his way through the line and raced 55 yards to touchdown territory. The extra point try missed and the score stood 19 to 12 at halftime. In the third quarter Var Brock lin unleased another long one that Robinson grabbed and carried 1 over.
