Just those two blocked kicks, one in the first and one in the last, quarter, stopped the Bear cats from playing their ancient foes of the agricultural college to a scoreless tie, for all othfY Beav er scoring attempts were stopped by a hard-charging Willamette line.' .'" ! Outcome Duplicates 1034 Fluke Loss It was almost a repetition of the 1934 game when the Bear cats lost another time 13 to 0 with a blocked kick and a fumble paving the way to Oregon State's two touchdowns. Elmer Kolberg's 50 yard punt i to the Willamette 23 stripe mid way in the first quarter put Wil lamette in the hole for the first time and it was then that Weis- nrhsr arYin had earlier attempted a place kick from the Oregon State 35, tried a quick kick that failed. The massive Deming stuck his chest In the way and the ball car omed off it to be scooped up by, galloping Joe Gray who tore to the Willamette 19 before Wreisgerber dragged him down. . ....

Gray faked a pass and ran down the sidelines, slithered off as Jimmy Hogg attempted to tackle him but stepped out of bound3 on the Wil lamette five-yard line. Eilers fum bled on the next play but it was an Oregon State man that gripped the ball when the pile was untan gled and Gray, on fourth down, went, over right tackle for the score. Swanson's place kick hit a goalpost and bounded back into the field. Four Minute Left After Second Score There were four minutes left In the ball game when the second blocked kick and the second touchdown came." Deming again was in the way when Weisgerber attempted a punt from the Wil lamette 31 and the ball bounded away to the Willamette nine yard line where Lillebo. Beaver end, grabbed it. He was tackled hard by Charley Versteeg but Joe Gray in two plays packed it across and this time Swanson's kick was good. Willamette was in danger of be ing scored upon again shortly aft er the first score in the opening period when Weisgerber got off a pitiful boot that went out of bounds on the Willamette 14 but the Bearcats held on the four-yard line. The Bearcat's big scoring chance came In the fourth quar ter when Bill McAdam recovered Grey's 'fumble on the Oregon State seven yard stripe only to lose three yards In two scrlm (Turn to Page 7, Col. 4) Campaign Trip Is Mapped by Landon TOPEKA, Kas., Oct. 3.-JP)-An eight-day campaign .through Illin ois.
