Orange Baby Beavers DefeatOregon Ducklings, 34-7;
Rook Weight Bulge Contributes to Second'War'Win
By JOHN BARTON
A band of Rooks from Oregon
State college ran, passed, and kick
ed their way over the Oregon Frosh
last Saturday on Hayward field, to
win the second game of the 1948
“little civil war” football series.
The Rooks scored twice in the
first quarter, once in the third, and
twice again in the final period to
overpower the Frosh, 34-7. Oregon
gained its only tally in the last
quarter, when fullback Chuck Miss
fcldt crashed over from the five
yard line.
Besides naving superior weight ana
class, the Corvallis boys also had a
big number 32 by the name of Sam
Baker. Baker personally account
ed for 16 of the Rook points with
two touchdowns and four-place
k icks out of five for extra points.
Baker Stars
The big ex-Corvallls and Tacoma
• liigh star stood out as the best
runner on the field in every quarter
, «ot the game, going through the un
<4or-weight Frosh line again and
.sagain for impressive gains, climax
ed by a 67-yard run late in the first
. quarter for the Rook's second touch
. -down.
While Baker was running the
Frosh line-backers ragged, a rangy
lad named Gene Morrow was sling
ing passes over their heads to the
■ Rook receivers. Morrow turned
many a third down into a first, as
well as throwing to quarterback
Dick Bumala for a T D, and running
one over the goal line himself.
Rook scoring started when the
future-farmers kicked off to the
Frosh and then held them for four
downs to take the punt and get rol
ling from the mid-field stripe.
Baker and Sheffold ran the ball
to the Frosh 21-yard line, where
Morrow took over and passed to
Pheffold, who was downed on the
one-foot line. On the next play,
Baker waltzed over into the end
Kone to score standing up. He re
mained standing to kick the extra
point, making it 7-0.
After Baker's kick-off and Cal
derwood's punt Baker went
through on a line buck, and kept
going for 67-yards to make it 13-0,
OSC. Baker missed his only kick of
the day, and the score stood until
the third quarter.
The second quarter was marred
by fumbles in the play of both
teams. For Oregon, little Herb
Timms did some pretty running
around the ends and through the
middle, proving himself hard to
hang on to, even to the huge Aggie
linemen.
20-0, Kooks
Scoring resumed on the second
play of the next half when right half
Sheffold scooted around his left end
from his own thirty and kept going
for seventy yards to score standing
up. Baker kicked the point for a
20-0 Rook margin.
Morrow and Bumula took the
stage for the next Rook rally, when
the latter took a Morrow pass on the
Frosh five and stumbled over for
the score. Baker again kicked the
point to make the score 27-0.
Missfeldt Scores
It took tne signal caning uj. re
serve quarterback Harry Kanasto
to punch the ball over and rack up
seven points for Oregon. Kanasto
passed and called plays from his
own 38 to the Rook end zone.
After Langer and Timms had
swept the ends a few times in get
ting to the five, Kanasto handed the
ball to big Chuck Missfeldt, who
smashed over left tackle for the
score. End Jerry Leslie booted the
extra point to make it OSC 27, Ore
gon 7.
Passer Runs for Tally
Passer Morrow turned runner
long enough to punchover the last
Rook score late in the quarter. Mor
row first heaved long pass to Yale
Rohliff on Oregon’s 16, and a 15
yard penalty on the Frosh moved
the oval up to the one-yard line.
Baker hit the line once, and then
gave Morrow a turn. Morrow hit
his right tackle and fell over the
goal. Keeping up with tradition.
Baker sent the ball through the up
rights to end the day’s scoring with
the Rooks ahead, 34-7.

Pappy Waldorf
Worried Again
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9 (AP)
—Undefeated University of Califor
nia is due for a rough afternoon
with with Washington State next
Saturday unless vast improvement
is noted in blocking and pass throw
ing. Coach Lynn Waldorf made the
statement yesterday at the football
writers’ meeting.
“Our all around showing against
UCLA last week was very poor” he
said. The Bears beat the Bruins
28-13, but their performances dis
appointed Waldorf greatly.
“We didn’t have anybody who
could carry a tune, let alone a foot
ball” he remarked. “Our blocking
was bad. We completed two out of
twelve passes. Jackie Jensen’s
rushing average of 2.1 yards was
very low and he wa^ thrown for
losses several times. This can be
traced to the weak blocking accord
ed him. UCLA mistakes rather
than California’s play was a deter
mining factor in our win.
“The Washington State game will
be a real test. It should prove
whether California is on the down
grade. In Jerry Williams, WSC
has one of the best backs on the
coast and Lauri Neimi is as good a
tackle as any. We will be at near
ly full strength. Our first string
