OSC Beats WSC
To Nab Top Spot
PULLMAN, Wash. (APi-Ore
gon State kept up a consistent
attack, scoring once in each of
the first five innings, to run its
Northern Division victory string
to five straight with a 9-1 win
over Washington State Thurs
day.
Beaver pitcher Jerry Epperle
was aided out of tight spots
with three double plays as he
threw a six-hitter at WSC. He
walked six and struck out the
same number.
OSC's biggest inning was the
eighth^ when a walk, sacrifice,
passed ball and two singles
brought across three runs. Bea
ver center fielder Jerry Exley
hit a home run for his team’s
final run in the eighth.
The day was cool and Cougar
players helped bring on their
own defeat by hobbling the ball
five times.

not necessarily in that order.

track team, under the guiding
hand of Coach Bob McCollum,
will clash with the invading Ore
gon State Rooks Saturday at
Hayward field. The meet will be
held in connection with the var
sity's meet with the traditional
rivals from Corvallis.
Such individual stars as
OSC’s Wayne Moss, Bill Fred

high jumper from Richland,
Wash., cleared the bar at (>
feet 4 inches and captured a
blue ribbon place in the shot
put.

Mustang who won the prep state
low hurdle championship last
year. Fredricks is also a sprinter
and discus thrower.
On Oregon’s behalf. Bob Dry
